Paperman - Full Animated Short Film (by disneyanimation)

I loved this when it came on before “Wreck-It-Ralph”. Combining computer-generated and hand-drawn animation, it’s a beautiful piece of work. 

Directed by John Kahr (2012).

A Short Film About a Lonely Robot, Created Entirely From NASA Videos

It’s 2045, and a lone robot orbits Earth in a spaceship, left there by his human companions. He longs for his home on Earth, but knows he’ll never see it again. Tragic, huh? This is the story of Robbie, a sentient Catholic robot, and the subject of the short film Robbie from director Neil Harvey.

Sad robot is sad.

Plot Device, a short film by Seth Worley

A young filmmaker obtains a mysterious device that unleashes the full force of cinema on his front lawn.

Take a few minutes to watch this, especially if you make movies, or just if you love them.

This is an incredible music video/short film directed by DANIELS.  It’s the most visually and emotionally arresting thing I’ve seen in a long time (and yes, I watched the Baja Fresh episode of Undercover Boss).

Gorgeous.

This is incredible.

Great dark+twisted short film ‘Blinky™’, directed by Ruairi Robinson, starring Max Records (Where The Wild Things Are). Perfect CGI and perfectly disturbing.

Time Phone by August Anderson and Rob Schultz

Hey, check out this really neat little sci-fi short made by my friend and sometime assistant editor Rob and his partner Anderson.

It’s a nod to “Primer” (1994) (not a bad film to nod to), with some fantastic homebrew production design and great editing, and a tight, bite-sized story. Well done, friends.

This is the result of the efforts of three students from the National Taiwan University of the Arts. It is a beautiful animation about a young girl and her dog, and the imagination at her beck and call. It inspires nothing short of awe and jealousy from me.

Here’s hoping that the three who worked on this go on into the animation industry full bore, because I sit here EAGERLY awaiting whatever else may be percolating in their imaginations.
