If you crossed Hunger Games with Oblivion, mixed in some feelings of Moon, sprinkled a little of action from that Bourne movie without Matt Damon and shook it all up with astronaut suits, futuristic guns, another planet and an eerie death match you would get Project Skyborn, a heart pumping short by Marko Slavnic. It’s amazing.

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.

AMP is a pretty engaging sci-fi short written and directed by Adam Marisett for Triton Films. It’s set in a world where giant robots can be your best friend and giant robot dogs can be your worst enemy. Basically, it’s the kind of dystopian war where technology is awesome.

Thank God computers are satisfied with the one-way relationship we have with them. We put them to work every single day, asking them to check our e-mail, using them to follow the news, play with them by going on Facebook and making them creep to the darker corners of the Internet. What do they get for all that? Just dusty, hot and dirty.

This short film, “Hoverboard”, is about a girl and her teddy bear trying to create a hoverboard after watching Back to the Future II. I can totally relate to her because I was trying to make my own hoverboard really hover just last month. You’re an inspiration girl! More »
Can you imagine what the world would look like if humans were actually Apple computers and Apple computers were actually human? As in, computers are the ones getting excited for a new Human release (like how we clamor for new iPhones, etc.) It’s kind of Planet of the Apes-ish except instead of apes it’s just a world of robots. To be honest, I can get down with being a computer’s computer. More »
If Panasonic didn’t have attention from movie producers before, it just might as of this week. Joining the quickly developing tradition of camera makers producing elaborate short movies as technology demos, the company has let cinematographer Philip Bloom wield (and tease) a “brand new G camera” to record Genesis, a fast-paced mini-drama showing a man’s race to meet his love before it’s too late. While Bloom can’t talk much about the hardware in question until the 17th, he’s allowed to confirm that the upcoming Micro Four Thirds body relies on a “superb” 72Mbps All-I codec for video — letting it capture a sprint through the streets without the compression artifacts of the AVCHD format used by most mirrorless cameras. Panasonic’s upcoming shooter also touts “much improved” results in the dark, Bloom says. It all sounds very tempting, especially if it turns out that Panasonic’s inadvertent leaks are for the same camera we see in action here. The full movie is available after the break, and Bloom has the behind-the-scenes details at the source link.
