Ruuuun!!

This is just insane. Created by AnimeTaste, a non profit animation collective based out of China as part of their 'BingTangHuLu' collaborative initiative. That term is a play on a traditional sugar coated snack, which is typically served in a bunch, thus meaning a group of people coming together to create something.

Ruuuun!! used the talents of over 100 artists who came together during 3 separate animation and painting events held online to create an awesome little collective animation in which each artist got to take control of a minor part, or individual frame of the short. Pretty kickass idea, and the resulting enthusiasm and energy that went into creating this is absolutely palpable. Check out the making of after the break!
