Experimental Computer Animation

Discover new frontiers in animation as we present several computer-animated short stories, or “shorts,” produced by the University of Washington Animation Research Labs (ARL). The mission of the ARL is to advance the state of animation art through research, teaching, and computer-animated production. The ARL is a place where computer scientists, animators, artists, musicians, architects, storywriters, and user-interface designers work together to create new algorithms, systems, and tools for computer animation -- and use these advances to create innovative and experimental animated productions, including interactive forms of animation such as web-based animation and games.
