Martin Allais For Oreo
Martin Allais last featured on the Animated Review around this time last year with the excellent animated advert he illustrated and directed for Winning Moves' Top Trumps.
Since then he's been busy working on this rather special and "Wonderfilled" campaign celebrating 100 years of Oreo cookies. Apparently the project went through a lot of ups and downs almost being shelved several times, but thankfully the spots are finally making it onto our TV screens and further surprises will be revealed over the coming months.
So far we've seen two spots both featuring the same characters, scenario and bouncy song provided by Owl City, but animated in different styles.

Renaud Hallée: Les Horlogers
In this experimental animated short from Renaud Hallée, we travel inside a mysterious mechanism made up entirely of revolving gearwheels, triangles and lines. In this whirling, hypnotic world, dozens of tiny gymnasts leap, somersault and twist through the air. Their spirited acrobatics trigger both narrative and musical sequences that are mesmerising and, at times, dizzying. Half-figurative and half-abstract, 'Les Horlogers' ('The Clockmakers') is a playful creation that is sure to captivate and dazzle its audience.
Becky & Joe: Tallest Heights
The excellent Becky Sloan & Joseph Pelling are back! This time they've directed a short animated piece as part of the 'Hello, Again' series presented by the Lincoln Motor Company, in which film-makers are asked to re-imagine the familiar into something new.
Inspired by the drawn-on film pieces by Norman McLaren, Len Lye and Man Ray, Becky & Joe collaborated with musicians Delicate Steve to create 'Tallest Heights'. The animation was made from a combination of ink, paint, bleach and scratching into the film itself. The final images are high-res scans of super 8, 16mm and 35mm film strips and acetate sheets. Watch the making of also posted below for further insight into the process.
