I came across this on Vimeo’s staff picks the other night. I was won over immediately by the comical sound effects. The creature that resembles a dog is also so adorable I’m ashamed to like it so much. Story and sound effects aside though, Nelson has an incredible imagination and an amazing artistic style. He is very talented and he is destined for great things if he keeps it up! After a little more research into him, I found that he’s also made a couple videos without animation that also show great promise. I really hope he ends up in charge wherever he works though, because I’d love to see a movie filled with the creations from Mr. Boles mind.
I stumbled upon Scott’s artwork today and it automatically hits home to me just because of its digital futuristic style and pop culture references. Plus, I just really like astronauts and dinosaurs. What is really interesting about this artwork however, is that these paintings are Scott’s vision of how the future was perceived in movies from the 60s, 70s, and 80s mixed with how the ‘future’ turned out in reality.
