Two creations by graduate visualization science students from the Texas A&M College of Architecture, were recently linked to the cartoonbrew.com website where they are garnering a lot of praise.

One, a three-minute animation called “Goobies” depicts the wild, inner workings of a snack machine. It is the work of students Seth Freeman, Michael Losure, Patrick O’Brien and P. Antonio Piedra.
"Goobees" has also been posted on http://motionographer.com/.
On the website, “Goobees” creators said their animation was made possible by the resources available in the Visualization Laboratory at the Texas A&M College of Architecture and by the support of A&M’s “Vizzer” community.
“Goobees” can be viewed at: http://www.goobeesfilm.com/index.html, where there is also a making of section.

The other Viz student feature link to cartoonbrew.com is a stop-motion music video for the band Motion City Soundtrack. The video was directed by Lauren Simpson, winner of an mtvU contest that provided her with a $10,000 budget, state-of-the-art studio facilities and a professional crew. Fellow Vizzers Igor Kraguljac and Mike Losure, assisted as art director, editor and animators.
