Mad Men Animation


I love the limited colour palette for the foreground but have the background in washed out full colour. really good effect.
silhouettes work well, must be illustrated onto photos/stills.
camera work is also a good touch.

Animation Styles


Stop motion using dolls and paper for expressions!
good old robot chicken : )

Saddam hussien! i love the basic way for using a photo and drawing in block colour for the body. Possibly use a full body shot and enlarge the head.
\
rather crazy but cool animation! i like how the background doesnt change and has that weathered look. the quality of drawing is dead cool as well : )

i know its cheating cos its not digital, but its awesome.

BAD ACCENTS - Johnny English

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjtbrsuqt-0

0:34 - john malcovich as a frenchy!

BAD ACCENTS - Blood Diamond


0:30 - i'm not sure about this cos im no good with south african accents. its probably awful though.

BAD ACCENTS - rounders


john malcovich, despite his surname, is painfully un-eastern european.

BAD ACCENTS - Alexander


What accents are these actually meant to be? Angelina's gone all mixed up greek/indian/turkish and poor Colin Farrell is just trying not to be Irish, bless 'im.

BAD ACCENTS - out of africa


1:20 - meryl, no.

BAD ACCENTS - Billy Elliott


Considering Jamie Bell's from Billingham, his north eastern accents pretty awful.

BAD ACCENTS - The Jazz Singer


0:15 - Lawrence, you're not that Jewish.

BAD ACCENTS - Austin Powers, The Spy Who Shagged Me


0:35. I dunno if this one counts cos its kinda intentionally over the top, but Fat Bastard's scottish accent is appalling lol.

BAD ACCENTS - Mary Reilly


Julia Roberts kinda pulls off the irish things but her american accent slips through a fair amount. Don't see why its so high on Total Film's list (see link on sean connery post)

BAD ACCENTS - from hell


Johnny's got a bit better at accents since this, Heather Graham shouldn't be allowed out of America.

BAD ACCENTS - Transporter


Poor Jason Statham, just too English for his own good.

BAD ACCENTS - Cool Runnings


They're all American haha. Funny as fuck though.

BAD ACCENTS - Children Of Men

1:32. According to IMDB the guy singing Blaydon Races is a Geordie. I don't believe it for a second.

BAD ACCENTS - Robin Hood, Prince Of Thieves


Just in general.
Nottingham my arse.

BAD ACCENTS - Dracula


0:23 - "I didnt hear you come in" - fuck off Keanu. Don't be British.

BAD ACCENTS - Brad Pitt


0:07, 0:16, 0:26 - Irish? Dont do it, Brad.

0:09 - German? ah fucking dear.

BAD ACCENTS - V For Vendetta


Natalie Portman is shit at english accents

BAD ACCENTS - The Parent Trap


LINDSAY FUCKING LOHAN

BAD ACCENTS - Green Street


0:15 onwards - the guy who Frodo follows round is a Geordie trying (and failing) to be Cockney.

BAD ACCENTS - Ocean's 11


("It'll be nice working with proper villains again")

BAD ACCENTS - Sean Connery



He can't do anything when he's not scottish. Just check out the "Russian", then "Irish" accents, then try not to expect "mish moneypenny" on the end.

Furthermore, i found this link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/film/3032052.stm

BAD ACCENTS - Braveheart


BAD ACCENTS - Mary Poppins
