Music not sure if I posted this but blah whatever

This stop motion film was made by Donald Faison who is better known as "Turk" from the show Scrubs. I believe it was his first stop motion film but he already has a sequel to this one so check out "Black Stormtrooper"

This short film is from AM Alumni Rok Andic.. I love the character and how the apartment is designed it's really cool and also great animation, so check out "Rhapsody with James"

Here is a pretty cool turntable of one of the characters "Carla Veloso from Pixar's Cars 2..It's a pretty cool teaser of the rig and a nice little test.

Also check out this game called "Brink" The trailer is amazing and I have watched gameplay and I can tell you I will be buying it for sure. It's being made by a company called "Splash Damage" and I have heard that "Blizzard" did the trailer I'm not all that sure about that but anyway here it is.
