Animation Inspiration - Castle On The Hill

in ,

Ed Sheeran released two new songs this week and coupled them with lyric videos. This video for Castle On The Hill really captured my imagination. The song is a love letter to teenage years, growing up and the feeling of going back to those brilliant memories. It makes me feel nostalgic for the times when we drank Malibu and Coke out of plastic cups and danced while looking shyly at boys across the dancefloor.

I love the paint strokes that gallop along with the melody and the hand lettered words popping up. Makes me want to learn to animate.

Unfortunately I can't find a credit for who did the animation, if anyone knows please Tweet me at @and_sowebegin!

Monday Movie - Arrietty

in

A gentle one for this week's Monday movie. An absolutely beautiful gem from Studio Ghibli. A bit of an antidote to the busy days : )

IN CINEMAS JULY 29 'Tiny' 14 year old Arrietty lives under the floorboards of an old house with her father and mother. Their peaceful life is dramatically changed when the ever curious Arrietty accidentally allows herself to be seen by Sho, a sickly but well-intentioned 12 year old boy.
