The New Zealand Book Council’s outstanding preview for celebrated author Maurice Gee’s book Going West is a beautiful marriage between paper arts and animation. The brilliant work of siblings Martin and Line Andersen, this fast-paced animation was made with pages from the actual book!

Katy Davis’ stop-motion animation about love and loss has been viewed on You Tube more than 350,000 times since she posted it three weeks ago. The haunting animated music video is touching people all over the world – take four minutes out of your busy day to watch it and see why.
The pop up book (which I made myself) along with the girl at the end, and the dragon, are all filmed with stop motion photography. I then drew the characters on paper and coloured them in Photoshop – there’s 1,651 drawings just of the characters ouch!
Can you appreciate for a moment, the work that it took to create this piece? Remarkable. Ms. Davis is 25 years old.
Evelien Lohbeck won best NOFF-film 2008 at the Netherlands Film Festival for this imaginative animation. Remember, the computer keyboard and screen are hand drawn. Well done.
