This animation was made using backlit cutouts shot under a camera. It’s a story with a twist too. Filmed by Patricia Granato at the Mel Hoppenheim School of Cinema and bound to pick up plenty of attention of Vimeo. This short film feels very much like an updated Rapunzel. Ready to watch more?

Special effects bonanza: Mario and Luigi – The Early Years
This live action spoof considers what life might have been like if Mario hit on Princess Daisy in high school. It’s loaded with an impressive amount of special effects. Can you work out which Standard Action actor co-stars in it? Standard Action is a gamer series following the attempted heroics of an adventuring party. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJPD1euPIRY […]
How to make your own NERF Vulcan sentry cannon
Fancy making your own version of this gun? The instructions are here. This video was introduced to me as “Look what this geek girl has built!” This person, who shall remain nameless, was partly impressed with the build and partly surprised that a woman had made it. Why? What’s so surprising about that? You should […]
Solar Echoes: Explorer’s Pack
Solar Echoes is a fast paced sci-fi RPG from Corefun Studios. With the new Explorer’s Pack coming out, Geek Native took this chance to invite authors Andy Mitchell and Matthew Hannum to discuss the game. You can find other insights on Solar Echoes here on Geek Native including a From the Inkwell article from Andy […]
Jeffrey Thomas’ Korra
This is a fantastic illustration of Korra, the Avatar after Aang. She’s drawn by Jeffrey Thomas, a character designer and story artist in Burbank, USA, and looks fantastic.
The real Iron Throne
These pictures are whisking around the web. Geek Native must be in the last 3% of blogs to share them and yet they’re still too good not to share. What we have here is an alternative to the iconic Iron Throne created by HBO for the Game of Thrones TV series. It’s the alternative and […]

Teaser Poster for Captain America: The Winter Solider
This beaten up shield is, of course, Captain America’s. It looks like it’s seen better days. I suspect we’ll start to see a trickle of teasers for the movie from now. After all we’ve got a Comic Con or so to go before next April.
Short film: Fritz Lang – Chapelier Fou
This animated short terms melancholy into defiance and I rather like that. It shows the struggle not just against the machine but against the folly of pointless ambition too. Created by Bjorn Feldmann in his free time and with the music of Chapelier Fou the project was done entirely in After Effects. Bjorn nods to […]
First look: Jamie Foxx as Electro
One of the superbads in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 will be Electro. I feel some of his comic book costumes have been a little naff (not that that’s out of place with early designs) but that can’t be said for Jamie Foxx in this poster. What an incredible look! What do you think? Looking forward […]
