Koji Morimoto

friend o mine linked me this great lil site that hosts some videos of him
http://www.catsuka.com/interf/bideo/morimoto.htm (incl his Robot Carnival short)
sadly not all ofm work and most ofm have a rather poor resolution and all the good ones need fkin real player >_>

..
anywho

you will probably know him from his Animatrix short "Beyond"(along with Matriculated my favorite) and his short "Magnetic Rose" on Katsuhiro Otomo’s Memories

he also worked on Akira as one of the chief animators

here is a high resolution torrent of his 1997 epic short "Noiseman Sound Insect"

http://www.thejollyroger.org/tracker/torrents/%5BJR%5D_Noiseman_Sound_Insect_(XviD_AC3)%5B089B5E E7%5D.avi.torrent

Like all six episodes of FLCL compressed into one fifteen minute short, with an art style that’s been described as "Tim Burton does Dr. Seuss".

An experiment by Dr. Franken goes horribly awry, and his cute companion is turned into the rampaging monster Noiseman. As the monster destroys the lab, Dr. Franken accidentally falls into a machine which separates him into an ectoplasmic balloon-creature and a crystalline essence. On that day, the music died

took me about an hour to dload
Yokko Kano did the soundtrack(wich is to my liking allot of breakbeat/techno)
dont expect anything too deep(15min short afterall) its just a joyride for animation lovers with allota wild imagination and for those who dont like a bit of the good ol hyper editing i’d say stay away

ooooh. so this is the guy who made extra. lol. i have extra. its fucking awesome. always thought it was a music vid but now i’m sure that’s the way it is. real nice. fantastic style too.
