Ryan, Web Exclusive

Ryan, directed by Chris Landreth, is an animated tribute to Canadian animator Ryan Larkin. Thirty years ago, at the National Film Board of Canada, Ryan produced some of the most influential animated films of his time. In Ryan we hear the voice of Ryan Larkin and people who have known him, but these voices speak through strange, twisted, broken and disembodied 3D generated characters... people whose appearances are bizarre, humorous or disturbing. Although incredibly realistic and detailed, Ryan was created and animated without the use of live action footage, rotoscoping or motion capture...but instead from an original, personal, hand animated three-dimensional world which Chris calls 'psychological realism'.

You don't see much 3d with this much character and originality

Every artists worst nightmare. Very moving, and very sad.

So many Canadian animated films end with the "camera" floating up into the sky.

There is really no other two artists closer to my heat, closer to my very soul, then Chris Landren and Ryan Larkin.

[mbguitarman]

my english teacher showed me this. It's really powerful stuff. I myself am an aspiring artist in the form of a musician so this interview really spoke to me. Have watched it numerous times in class and came to youtube hoping I could find it again. I'm glad I did because this is a really incredible video.

"One cannot do anything, anything at all, without the power of money"... it's so true it makes me want to cry. Seriously.

@UntitledParenthesis Yep. Experimental means uncertain success, thus uncertain profits, which is why very few studios will go out of their way to do anything "original" nowadays. Such a shame.

But hey, maybe I'm just being overly pessimistic! =P

Rest in peace Ryan; We'll miss you.

@rockindglobe Drinking himself to a dumb, staggering idiot is kind of a clue.
