A gift...

Here's a little parting gift from my heart to yours. Let it inspire you to kick some butt in the final exams. Two things that are awesome (penguins and zombies), together at last. Just like you and the exams: two awesome things that when combined, become more than just the sum of their parts. Enjoy your revision and your exams!! (and this video)

Beautiful painted stop motion

Some amazing stuff from this guy: this is his newest one, which is amazing in scope and scale. Creative and stunning.

Title sequence about TITLE SEQUENCES

Woah, like the previous short stop motion film that had stop motion film inside it, this is just full of layers and begging for an Inception reference. This guy made a possible title sequence for a documentary about title sequences... Brilliant.

Christchurch nostalgia

Also not new, but this is a sweet look at Christchurch before the quakes. Remember that? This uses tilt-shift to make it look like miniatures. Adorable, for sure.

More stop motion

This is not a new video but it is pretty beautiful.

500 People in 100 Seconds

A lot of you are doing stop motion short films: this should be inspiring. Or maybe terrifying: imagine the work involved!

Wait for it... Short film!

Here is a very interesting short film that shows the importance of using sound and symbols for impact... This same director also has a link on YouTube to a creative re-think of "fairies."

Helena Brooks- Nothing Special

We have watched some Hallensteins and Glassons advertisements directed by Helena Brooks. Here is an interesting and funny short film she directed.

Awesomely creepy New Zealand short film about a kitchen sink

I really love this short film because it is random and oh-so-creepy. Check it out.

Stunning short travel films

People are so clever! Check out these amazing short films that are a vivid way to share these guy's experiences with travel. This is what they said about it: "3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage... all to turn 3 ambitious linear concepts based on movement, learning and food ....into 3 beautiful and hopefully compelling short films.....

= a trip of a lifetime.

move, eat, learn"

A love story filmed on a camera phone

We have been thinking about ideas and limitations for our own production today. Here is a short film that was made with Nokia camera phones. And it looks pretty darn awesome: interesting idea and clever execution.

Nothing to do with horror, just some interesting short films

These videos are inspired by discussions on Radiolab, a radio programme. I think they are beautiful. And interesting. Check them out: what do you think?
