  Please Say Something

  (3D, Experimental)
  [ 10:00 - from Vimeo ]

  Here's a remarkable animation by David O'Reilly.  It takes a lot of creative risks that all pay off - the story follows an abusive relationship between a cat and mouse, the editing is fast and disorienting, and the design is like a dream computer game.  This film - winner of "Best Short" at the 2009 Berlinale - is wholly original and a must-see. view

  Brian Regan - Kids Party Games

  (Cartoon / Traditional)
  [ 1:55 - from YouTube ]

  In his dry, ironic style of comedy, Brian Regan offers his thoughts on kids party games.  And you always thought it was a good idea to blindfold your kids, equip them with a pin, spin them in circles, and let them loose.  Simple, but clever animation set to a funny bit. view

  Recycle Project: Day and Night -- Hong Kong

  (Time-lapse)
  [ 2:06 - from Vimeo ]

  The thousands of still photos that make up this video almost give you a sense of how crazy busy the hustle and bustle is in the city of Hong Kong.  The lights, the people, the cars, and the life...all flying by at the blink of an eye.  This city is truly magical. view

  Spider-Man '67: Hilarious Brawl

  (Cartoon / Traditional)
  [ 2:46 - from YouTube ]

  Few fights are resolved with the power of ventriloquism. It's too bad. In this classic 1960's cartoon, Spiderman defeats four villains with that underrated super hero technique.  view

  Seinfeld Animation: The Big Race

  (Cartoon / Traditional)
  [ 2:13 - from YouTube ]

  This cleverly animated series takes the ever-popular sitcom "Seinfeld" and reinterprets our favorite scenes. The result resembles what we might imagine in our minds if we were forced to watch the show blindfolded. Believe it or not, the show still holds up! view

  Civilization by Marco Brambilla

  (Experimental)
  [ 3:23 - from Vimeo ]

  This incredible animation, composed from over 400 video clips, was designed for the Standard Hotel in New York, so that passengers could experience ascending to heaven or descending to hell as the elevator went up or down.  Easily one of the worst places in the history of civilization to be if you are on hallucinogenic drugs.  And is that the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man somewhere in Purgatory? view

  The Gloaming

  (Stop Motion)
  [ 2:55 - from Metacafe ]

  Created for USC's Animation program, this short film combines computer animation with a real actor, and then runs the whole thing through the stop-motion wringer. Is it an indictment of living as a corporate drone? Or is it just a cool excuse to show off homages to "Videodrome", "Brazil" and "The Birds"?  view

  Monsters: Ballenbad

  (Experimental)
  [ 0:34 - from Vimeo ]

  Animator Volstok Telefunken takes footage of everyday scenes and animates quirky little monsters into them. The two worlds interact so well it will leave you scratching your head at times. The episodes clock in around 30 seconds, so beware, they are addictive. view
