In the blackhole that is my bookmarks RUSTBOY has held special meaning to me for a really long time, not only is the site well designed, well built and interesting, the site is a project diary of sorts for Brian Taylor to chronicle his short film ‘RUSTBOY’ .. he started way back in 2000 I think (possibly earlier, but the site goes to 2002 which is when Brian received funding to work on the project full-time (it had been a hobby-project up until that point)— the cool thing about the site is that rather minimal tools and zero budget Brian managed to put together brilliantly cinematic and lush 3-D animation, by processing animation frame by frame with photoshop. In your average animation only a scant few frames are intresting, in Rustboy it seems every frame is better than the last.

The Rustboy story is great, Brian’s story is great, and it’s the kind of thing that keeps me going on tough days.

This may be the only FLASH 4 site I’ll ever link..
