This–this I love.
This video is why we should read blogs beyond teaching and technology: just for the joy of finding something like this.
I learned about Baman and Piderman through Drawn! The Illustration and Cartoon Blog. It is a multi-authored blog, and is rich with content of the eye-candy sort. The material is not always young student appropriate, but Drawn! often includes videos, cartoons, and illustrations that are perfect for classroom use. The blog won a best Canadian blog award in 2007.
The maker of this magical animation is Alex Butera, is a 22-year-old talent about to graduate from the Massachusetts College of Art. The charm of this video is the characterization of these two superheroes. The table slouching, the looking under the bed, and the sticky feet are so six-year-old boy, and their friendship is just plain sweet. The best part is the last few seconds with sandwich. Pure genius. I wonder how he made the sound of the meat flopping out and the bread hitting the bed.
I imagine Alex put hours upon hours into this 22 second gem. I am sure he is getting raves. I would love to know how his talent was encouraged in school and out.
Betcha can’t watch this only once.
