"10 seconds is a story of what can be done in 10 seconds good and bad. It uses a focus on the positive things that can be done to boost "feeling big" rather than picking up a knife or gun." Outlaw Yutez -- City of Bristol Academy

10 Seconds is the winning entry for the Guns and Knives category of the Sharp Shotz Animation Competition 2007/8, it was written by the Outlaw Yutez from City Academy Bristol. The team assisted Georgina Reynolds an animation student from the University of the West of England in the making of the film.

just a nice idea I could adopt (nothing to do with conflict....

Comment from youtube user "monsterdistributes" : This series, including the original Oscar-nominated short, from Brown Bag Films is based upon the 1960s recordings of young children telling Bible stories in a classroom to their schoolteacher. When a film crew arrives at an inner city Dublin National School to record the children, the result is a warm, funny and spontaneous animated documentary, featuring young children telling the story of John the Baptist, The birth of Jesus, the Crucifixion, Saint Patrick and others. Give Up Yer Aul Sins combines simple humour with clever
animation to create films with a timeless quality and appeal to a family audience. Give Up Yer Aul Sins has screened in almost 50 film festivals, including The Galway Film Fleadh (where it won Best Animation), Cork Film Festival (Best Irish and Best International Animation), Cartoons on Bay (Special Award for Original Idea), NewYork Comedy Festival, Boston Irish Film Festival, Aspen Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival.

-how about using Sevgul Uludag's stories to create animation while using the same technique of voice over by the people who actually leaved them (recorder while interviewed)?

One Tin Soldier - Coven - 1970s Cartoon version

Comment by youtube user "celesta920

Animated by John Wilson, Fine Arts Films. Basically a song about peace, One Tin Soldier, a song from the 1960s, become popular in 1970-71 as it was featured at the very end of the movie, Billy Jack. I added this to bring attention to where I found it, on OofusTwillip's channel who has a treasure of 14 other rare 1970s cartoon music videos for that era. Link here:

This is my cartoon for the Helen Victoria Haynes World Peace Storyboard and Animation Competition. Hope you enjoy!

My comment :

Beautiful idea: visually presents the idea that peace can be achieved when trying to see through the others eyes.

Disney '42 - Stop That Tank!

comment by thelostdisney
May 08, 2008

This film, made for Canada, begins with an interesting cartoon showing Hitler (depicted as a ranting madman speaking in phony German) and an armada of tanks trying to invade a peaceful-looking village, only to be fought off by a barrage of gunfire from anti-tank guns, so much so that it sends Hitler to Hell. The rest of this short is a dry and technical explanation and description of the Boys Anti-Tank Rifle. Just like the previous short, animation is limited.

Escalation - A Film by Ward Kimball, 1968

1968 film by Ward Kimball protesting LBJ's escalation of the war in Viet Nam. Look familiar?

on Waed Kimball (wikipedia link) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward_Kimball

also comment on Escaleation by cartoon brew user "Jerry" :

Escalation by Ward Kimball made this film independently from the Disney Studio in 1968. It is the only independent short ever made by one of Disney’s Nine Old Men. He screened it at film festivals, college campuses and personally gave 16mm copies to friends and liberal-minded fans. The film below may be considered NSFW depending on where you work.

comment by "TINKER BELL" on the blog "The Sacred Tree of the Aracuan Bird" :
Okay, I post this, not because I completely understand all of the symbolism in how it relates to Vietnam and the times, but because it is a film by Ward Kimball that was just posted on YouTube the other day. If you visit the page it's on you will see quite a few comments about it. I am going to assume that in the coming days this will generate much talk on a lot of Disney websites.
Please use caution as this file contains some explicit material.
I'd really like to know what all of you think about this piece. Please leave a comment if you feel moved to do so! :D

My comment: even though this is a very successful animation (in my opinion of course regarding the artistic/technical skills and context, I would rather distance myself from becoming political in this sense since it could potentially offend? so do i forget about just peace for the sake of peace???

A small animation project. Department of Cultural Studies & Communication Original music by Konstantinos Tsitsas a.k.a. ForTune Quote by Jimmy Hendrix)

My comment: This animator uses cliche-like aphorisms such as "when the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace" and a very simple in visual context animation of three peace symbols to communicate. I believe that his attempt is unsuccessful due to his luck of depth of context and artistic insight.
