Fringe Fridays: Impactist

Just what is it that makes something truly worthy of Fringe Fridays? I ask myself that question often (at least weekly, usually on a Thursday). And honestly, I don’t know. What I do know is that the work of Impactist is truly fringe-tastic. Impatctist is the work of husband-and-wife team Kelly Meador and Daniel Elwing. They create commercials and music videos in a striking variety of styles. Check out what they’ve uploaded to us and then check out the amazing volume of work on their website.

First there’s Low-Fidelity Cat Dream, 23 seconds of action-packed animated bliss:

The Type Writer is a beautiful homage to the Remington Steamliner:

Leo’s Song is a tale of music, aliens, and three-dimensional geometry set to music:

I’m really proud to have them on Yahoo! Video. If you like what you see, make sure to rate and review their work by clicking the links above each video. And did I mention the amazing quicktime videos on their website?

Fringiest Fridays

Hello Readers,

Here we are, another Friday, another fringe-y film. When I look for content for Fringe Fridays, I dream of finding something as weird, funny, and well-animated as what I found today. Be warned, my friends, this one is weird. If you’re at all squeamish about bugs, blood, or marital melodrama, you shouldn’t watch it.

Anyone still there? Good!

The Ballad of Mary Slade

I wish I knew more about the animator, Robin Fuller. But the film did win the prestigious Slamdance Film Festival’s prize for animation. And it’s the perfect video for the day before Edgar Allen Poe’s birthday.
