Visual FX: 100 Years of Inspiration
26 films that changed the world of visual effects. Some great breakdowns in a concise, interesting snapshot of how techniques have changed and evolved since the dawn of cinema.
8-bit trip
Worth posting for the hours of patience involved alone... 1500 hours of animating lego bricks. 2 million hits though... it's popular!

"Juiced and Jazzed" by Justin Weber
Here's a project clearly born from a love of early 2d animated classics. Well worth repeated viewings to check out all the little accents and details, beatiful piece of work with some wonderful animation in a style not revived in a long time!
From the Author:
"We wanted to make a cartoon inspired by 1930s rubber-hose animation in the fashion of Max Fleicher’s Betty Boop, as well as having the polish and excitement of 1940s cartoons, à la Bob Clampett and Tex Avery."
Mouse Love, Jose Alves da Silva (3D)
I thought this image had great composition and real character in the posing and expressions. Click it for hi-res version and the title links to the CGS Forum where I found it posted.

Robin George's "Tezcatlipoca"
Good Tip Francesco, cheers! Beautiful cat animation and an ambitious 3 minute short. I know where I'm going if I need an animated leopard! Click the image for the online quicktime...
Capacity.tv: Upgrade + Mobilize promo
Stunning promo piece from Capacity.tv, mixing an illustrative Japanese style with some great transitions, sharp animation, graphics, vfx and sound design.
There are some interesting production breakdown images over on Motionographer too, with more to come on Capacity's own site. Well worth a look .

It's Evolution Baby by Matthew Weaver
Lovely fluid touches in the fight scene, this chap knows his onions!
Alexander Perry Design & Animation Reel
Great mix of typographic design, animation and distinctive original style from this guy
Jonathan Hagan Modelling Reel
Deviating from animation for a moment - I realy liked the way the production blueprints and pre-production work are included in this reel, an well constructed presentation of his environment modelling skills in effectively one shot.

Friends?
Short from VFS student Sveinbjorn J. Tryggvason. This was posted a while ago but has gained some popularity and was back at the top of the CGS animation posts this morning.
