Channel Frederator Blog

Carl battles bugs! Or rather, he’s badly battered by bug battling. Either way, you should watch Channel Frederator this week. We’ve got top-notch animation from Gobelins, plus we’re only a few days away from the launch of Cartoon Hangover! *squeal of delight*

“The Lighthouse Keeper” from the Gobelins School: A lighthouse keeper finds an unwelcome guest hovering outside his window…

*Keep your eyes peeled for our new show, Cartoon Hangover , launching this Thursday, December 10th! It features the silliest, smuttiest animation on the web. For your beer-goggled, grown-up eyes only!

*Leave lots of comments and follow us on Twitter!

I’m not in Annecy. You’re not in Annecy. (Well, some of you may be, but I’m sure you have more interesting things to do than reading blogs today.)

See, there’s this little animation festival going on there right now. Must be nice.

So, for those of us stuck in Non-France, here is a beautiful short from last year’s festival. It was produced by students of the animation program at the Gobelins art school in Paris: Jean-Michel Boesch, Quentin Bailleux, Manuel Tanon-Tchi, and Sébastien Vovau.

(Each year, Gobelins animation students produce the shorts that open all the official competition screenings of the festival.)

This group of animation artists (plus others) have formed Studio Aaameriques. Go to their site to see some examples of animation eye candy.

So, pull up a croissant and enjoy.

A few images for you. An amuse-bouche, if you will. This one is by Icha:
