Goregous & Stunning!

Wow! I was blown away by Tyger! What a beautiful use of puppetry, live action, rotoscoping, and digital 2-D animation. The transformations of the people and city into a wild forest was exquisite and aesethically pleasing to the eye. The finale at the end was just overwhelming and spectacular! And all of this inspired by William Blake. What a twist indeed.

Keep bringing more animations Video Dog!

Seconded, thirded, fourthed

The best animated short I've seen in a long, long time.

On what wings dare he aspire?

Stunning. I would love to see this on a big screen and I certainly expect to see more of Marcondes in the future.

For a high-res version...

Go to http://www.guilherme.tv/tyger/

And that site has a lot more of his work -- amazing stuff!

Certainly pretty but...

It's certainly pretty, and the stadium scene was very impressive. But must all clever animation come equipped with dorm-room philosophy?

download the full version

The YouTube version does not do this justice -- it's very worth watching the high-res version from the artists' site:

Tyger

I am a creature (ore critter) from Sao Paulo and loved this short. I just cannot understand why you guys liked it too. Thanks, anyway.
