Bit of youtube research

Ive got a few youtube videos that I like for different reasons. A few I have found over the years and a few I have found while doing research recently.

This is an amateur animation video made by two guys on an animation course. I like how its simple but has a story. It employs the same frame by frame drawing techniques that were used in the whiteboard animation.

This is an animation by one of my favourite digital artists, Nico Di Mattia. He normally produces online video/paintings called speed paintings (as you can see in the next video) however this is a back to basics animation about two pigs arguing over food. I like the simple design as if I am going to produce an animation I will produce a simple animation. The story is a bit strange and surreal but there is a bit of humour in it that makes it quite endearing.

Nico Di Mattia Speed Paintings

Nico Di Mattia is an artist/animator from Argentina who mainly produces short films and animations but is more widely known for his speed paintings on youtube. I found his work on youtube a few years ago, I love the way his paintings are so realisic and that they are digital. He uses a graphics tablet to draw these paintings over a few hours. The videos of his work are then speeded up so the whole process only seems to take a few minutes.
One of my favourite paintings is his spiderman painting,
