Animated Short of the Day: Good Books, an online book retailer that donates all its proceeds to Oxfam, recently collaborated with NYC-based creative studios Buck and Antfood to create this trippy promo based on the works of Franz Kafka and Hunter S. Thompson.

In a disclaimer, the company notes that the video is not endorsed by either estates, but they “humbly suggest” Thompson would have liked it. Considering there is enough contact high in this short to kill a wild horse, I’d say they’re probably right.

Death in Motion by Mateusz Sypien

Death comes in many forms: sometimes it presents itself as your worst fear given legs to crawl on, a recognizable figure from your past you wish you’d forgotton, or in an alien, nightmarish visage. Mateusz explores a few of these concepts in his “Death in Motion” series of dark, yet neon-illuminated animations.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

by Moonbot Studios

“Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) award winning author/ illustrator William Joyce and Co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a new narrative experience that harkens back to silent films and M-G-M Technicolor musicals. “Morris Lessmore” is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.

“The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore” is one of five animated short films that will be considered for outstanding film achievements of 2011 in the 84th Academy Awards ®.”

One of the best short movies I have ever seen. Beautiful!

Magic Carp-pet. Rug. (2010) by John Leung

Via Make Magazine:

Extremely clever trick from designer John Leung, who’s put a coffee table with an optical grill on top of a rug patterned with a few “hashed” frames of a simple, looping animation. The net result? As you move around the room, the patterns on the rug, viewed through the table, appear to move.
