Short film: The Guardian’s Tale
Always great to find an animation of this quality. It’s even better to be a roleplayer when you watch an animation like this as you get to appreciate it in lots of different ways. The Guardian’s Tale is a fantastically animated project by Jordan Higgins, Christoffer Klungerbo and Ryan Zujic. As for the RPG born […]
The Little Kaiju
Created by TWiN (That’s Jonathan & Josh Baker) the Little Kaiju takes a look at the explorations of a mysterious little creature that haunts the dark corners of Tokyo during the twilight. Kaiju should be translated as “strange beast” but often means just “monster”. Click on this teleport link and zoom off to a randomly […]
Short film: The Gravity Gun
Made for Geek Week by Corridor Digital this short film is a special effects showcase. The plot picks up after a band of rebels have managed to steal a gravity gun (think Half-Life) and a gem to power it. The following battles make great use of thoughtful special effects. For example, when the can of […]
Short film: The Flying Man
Marcus Alqueres (follow at @Marcus Alqueres) gets a load of credits here; director, producer, editor, story and he financed this himself. The Flying Man is an excellent short film. Is The Flying Man a superhero? If he is then he is here on his terms and they may not be terms we like. You can […]
Short film: The Unfairy Tale
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? Use this […]
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 […]
Short film: So Dark
So Dark is a short film by the British writer Al Lougher. It’s actually episode 19 from Stage 5 TV’s The Continuum which hosts a collection of attention grabbers. Police have no idea that the man they’ve arrested for a murder on a late night train is actually a vampire with a conscience and the […]
Short film: OVO
OVO is a short film from We Were Monkeys. It was directed by Mihai Wilson who also wrote and did the art direction and visual effects, leading a team behind this project. OVO is visually stunning but you may have to pause to work out what’s going on. The official synopsis is of a crew […]
Short film: Basilisk
Ami Thompson’s animation reminds me of Evil GMs. Imagine all those saving throws and then the twist at the end of the encounter. If only those treasure chests weren’t so tempting! Thompson’s animation is all the more impressive given that it was a 4th year project for Sheridan College. Pro Tip: Use this teleport link […]
