9 Trailer - and some incredible referrence material!

I remember seeing a short animated film called 9, directed and made by Shane Acker, a year or so (maybe longer) ago, it's incredible to realise how an animated short could - and now has been turned into a full length feature film. It's directed by Tim Burton, and has voice acting by celebrity actors including Elijah Wood.. Just incredible, to go from such humble beginnings as an independent film producer to go to the big screen with such calibre and class as Burton on board.. So this is what us animators should aspire to, think big, deffinately..



And the original animated short it's based on:



And just one more for good measure; Jojo in the Stars, Directed by Marc Craste, 2003, Studio AKA.



Furthermore, I've found an interesting website with plenty of great steampunk, dieselpunk, and anything else in between: it's updated on a daily basis, and has a whole host of different articles and images. 'The Gatehouse'
