David Prosser: Matter Fisher


David Prosser‘s short film, Matter Fisher, makes it’s online debut this week as the winner of Short of the Week‘s Great Film Competition. It’s a lovely mix of high-contrast frame animation and cg, in which a lone fisherman encounters an initially unassuming, hungry ball of matter.

Matter Fisher is the second film we’ve featured of the three Royal College of Art grad films that were honored with a 2011 BAFTA nomination in the Short Animation category (the other two being Matthias Hoegg‘s Thursday and Mikey Please‘s The Eagleman Stag). For more on these three talented dudes, check out the interviews at The Dope Sheet.

David was kind enough to share production images and answer some questions about the film. Check them out here.

Crush’s Yoho Hang Yue for World Fishing Network

crush-fishing

Crush’s Yoho Hang Yue (reel) lent his expert comedic timing and spot-on character animation skils to the World Fishing Network for a series of chuckletastic IDs. The soothing compositions of silhouettes against warm backdrops sets up a false sense of calm that’s happily obliterated by each ID’s punchline.

Watch six of the IDs here. Visit Crush’s site.
