Miss the space roller coaster ride that was Gravity? Then you missed out on Sandra Bullock’s stressful spinning, George Clooney’s charisma soaked storytelling and a beautiful movie that seemed to be done in one endless take. It was a fun ride. But not nearly as fun as this animation of Gravity boiled down to 60 hilarious seconds. Enjoy.
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why we don’t host raves inside active volcanoes. "But Dr. No did it" is no excuse. That man is a board-certified internist and licensed super-villain.
Mixing elements of Gothic horror and Film Noir with a healthy dose of face-melting psychedelics, Conduit will have you questioning your faith in a higher power and your own ability to sleep tonight.
This is so great. Famous movies you know and love—like Citizen Kane, Blade Runner, The Shining and others—are re-imagined and re-told in the form of a 30 second animation movie trailer. So E.T. becomes a horror flick, The Big Lebowski is now a Kung Fu tale and Citizen Kane becomes a story about a Gross Butt and not Rosebud. It’s fun as hell to watch these great films become jokey animation movie teasers. I’d watch all of these new animated versions.
Man, there is something inexplicably magical about moving images. GIFs are currently living large as the forever-looping medium of choice, but the ol’ timey zoetrope is having a bit of a renaissance.
Mixing stop motion animation and time-lapse photography with Cetranger’s haunting melodies, Maxim and Katia Mezentsev create a surreal world simultaneously frozen in time and as fleeting as the life of a tongue-bound snowflake.
In the golden era of maritime exploration, a lonely piglet dreams of escaping his island home’s isolation only to realize that no matter where you go, you cannot escape yourself. Carlos De Carvalho produced this this visually-arresting animated short.
Sit back, grab a hot cup of tea, maybe open up a bag of cookies and enjoy yourself with this lovely musical animation called Love in the Time of Advertising. It’s a short made by David Bokser & Matt Berenty and it’s adorable in all the right ways, punching through with humor, emotion, double meanings and visual style to fill your imagination.
Norman McLaren, a pioneer of 20th century animation, once said that "what happens between each frame is more important than what exists on each frame." But what the hell did he mean?
Stupid jerk aliens. It’s bad enough that they turn our cows inside out and do unmentionable things to our buttholes, but stealing joints? Really?
