Here's a well done short film that conveys an entire lifetime using only pivotal moments in one's life. Shot entirely from the main character's POV, this is a strong idea, perfectly executed. view

If you're put off by the Super Bowl's halftime shows, pop on over to Animal Planet and take in some of the "Kitty Halftime Show." Watch cats wander aimlessly around a miniature football stadium while funky music plays and a crowd continuously cheers. Have a beer and enjoy some nachos. Then return to the big game, refreshed. view

I was drawn into the strange tone and pacing of this short from Russia. The film follows the wordless friendship between a young girl and a "giant" - a man who stands on stilts in the center of a small village. Solid production values and a simple and engaging story. view

Here's a fun little video greeting you can send to Mom. Featuring falling dominoes and a cute little kitty who's in charge. It takes a lot of dominoes to write "Happy Mother's Day," but Mom is worth it, right? view

In this visually stimiulating, cinematic form of poetry, filmmaker Robin Risser taps into a universal human condition commonly known as solitude. Part Magritte painting come to life, part emotional exploration, this film takes us through one man's journey through time, space, nature, and his own mind. This supports the philosophy that spending time with yourself is one of the most effective ways to commence personal evolution and understand the world around you. view

This little video is several things at once. It's simultaneously a catchy jazz music video, populated with quirky animated characters. But it's also a demonstration of a very innovative software called Animata, which moves virtual puppets in real time according to open-source input. This kind of thing used to take weeks for traditional animators to draw. view
