Thursday Inspiration: Rainplace and Iron Giant Pencil Test




This is not a new site, but it is full of great things. The first link has info about an independent animated film called My Little World. There's a terrific gallery section and some sample animation.

The 2nd set of links are for Rainplace. A real zen kind of site, that examines animation ideas using short rough animation examples. A veritable treat for anyone that's interested in the process. The last link has some fun examples showing Hogarth from Iron Giant in rough animation (pencil test) form running and climbing.
