Kealan O’Rourke – The Boy In The Bubble
An evening pause: Fitting for today. And yes, that is Alan Rickman narrating.
Embed fixed!
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Alyce Tzue – Soar
An evening pause: The music is Monody by Christian Büttner, known generally as TheFatRat. The singer is Laura Brehm.

Cornillon Quentin – Print Your Guy
An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who asks, “Ok guys, what would be your description on the order form?”
Slimtime
Steve Cutts – This is our world
An evening pause: This animation expresses well what I often feel and think, as someone who does not use a “smart” phone.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who sent it from his own smart phone, which left him “not feeling very high and mighty.”
Ginger Cat vs The Paper Army
An evening pause: Time for some silliness, which I suppose is also appropriate for a Friday the thirteenth.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
When the Day Breaks
Russ Roberts – It’s a Wonderful Loaf
An evening pause:
We know there’s order built into the fabric of the world
Of nature. Flocks of geese! Schools of fish! And every boy and girl
Delights in how the stars shine down in all their constellations
And the planets stay on track and keep the most sublime relations
With each other. Order’s everywhere. Yet we humans too create it
It emerges. No one intends it. No one has to orchestrate it.
It’s the product of our actions but no single mind’s designed it
There’s magic without wizards if you just know how to find it
I suspect that readers of Behind the Black will know the answer to this mystery.

The Present
Jessica Rabbit – Why don’t you do right
A evening pause: From the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988), and sung by Amy Irvine.
Hat tip Jim Mallamace.
Educated Fish
An evening pause: I especially like the worm’s imitation of Mae West.
On a more serious note, these old animated films provide a very real window into the culture that existed in America in the 1930s. If you want to know where we are going, compare this to today’s art.

Kara : a PS3 new technology
An evening pause: Hat tip Jim Mallamace, who asks the valid question, “What is our ethical responsibility to machines once they have feelings?”
How to Kiss
An evening pause: Heh. After watching this animated short, one might never want to kiss again.
Hat tip Wayne DeVette.
Pink Floyd – If
An evening pause: Animated in a very strange manner, with an unusual mix of artistic styles.
Hat tip Wayne DeVette.
By the way, I am as always looking for more evening pause suggestions. If you’ve suggested before, you know the routine. If not, place a comment here saying you’ve got something (but don’t include the link), and I’ll email you for it.
Küzdők
An evening pause: A short, simple and thoughtful 1977 Czechoslovakian animated film by Jankovics Marcell.
Hat tip Wayne DeVette.
Blockhead – The Music Scene
An evening pause: Animation by Antonio Francisco Schepperd. As I watched this I could not help think of the very expressive 1960s word psychodelic.
Pink Floyd – Julia Dream
High Diving Giraffes
An evening pause: Based on some emails I have received, I think some people have been fooled by this cool animation and actually think these are real giraffes! This just tells us that it will not be long now before real actors are no longer necessary and it will be possible to do live action films entirely with animation.
Hat tip George Petricko.
For the birds
A Mandelbrot set zoom animation out-take
An evening pause: The creator of this computer animation calls this an out-take and explains why:
What is a Mandelbrot zoom blooper? It’s what happens when you commit 6 months of computing time on three computers to create something that doesn’t turn out the way you expect! The color rotations that begin at 1:36 were unintentional. However, the side effect is that the animation is much more psychedelic than expected due to the color cycling and also brings out details that are not apparent with still images.
I just find it fascinating how this illustrates the endlessly deep and infinite complexity of existence.

Steven Wilson – The Raven That Refused To Sing
Animusic – Acoustic Curves
An evening pause: It has been a while since I posted some animusic. Hat tip to Keith Douglas for reminding me of that lack.
R.I.P. Ray Harryhausen (1920-2013).

Animusic – Resonant Chamber
Heavenly Appeals
Weird Planet fractals
Gorillaz – Melancholy Hill
Bugs Bunny – Little Red Riding Rabbit (1944)
An evening pause: “Silly, isn’t he?”
From 1944, with numerous references to the war effort. What I like most, however, is the brazen confidence. Bugs Bunny in more ways than can be imagined so clearly represents the American spirit of the war years.
