  Sophomore Spring 2010

  
  Docs & Non-Fiction (Cultural, Fashion, Reality), Other Gems (Branded Entertainment)
  [ 11:17 - from Vimeo ]

  This short is really engaging and fun. Everyone is so comfortable in front of the camera with very 'real' NY personalities. On top of that, it is beautifully stylized integrating seemlessly the fact that this is more than just a short film. It's branded content. But it is so well done. It's more than branded content. It's talented filmmaking. view

  Nae EduKation

   
  Comedy (Broad, Spoof)
  [ 7:13 - from Vimeo ]

  Spoiler alert: you might end up learning much of the plot of Oscar nominee "An Education" from this parody, but only if you read the "Simple American English" subtitles that translate Cockney Perv. You might also have all notions of England blown to bits, including the one about no sunshine when it's raining. But you will surely get an education...especially about root vegetables. view

  French Roast

  Animation (3D)
  [ 8:17 - from Vimeo ]

  One of the nominated short films of the 2010 Academy Awards, French Roast plays on stereotypes and comedic tension revolving around a man who is too embarrassed to reveal he’s forgotten his wallet. The animated film by Fabrice O. Joubert uses caricatures in hopes of false assumptions from the audience on how things may turn out for the protagonist. And it does keep you guessing. view

  Breakdowns of 1936

  
  Comedy (Bloopers), Other Gems (Film Clip), Viral (Time Capsule)
  [ 9:37 - from YouTube ]

  This might be where Warner Brothers got the idea for their stuttering Bugs Bunny sign off. Before they called them bloopers, outtakes and fails, on-set flubs were referred to as "breakdowns" -- and the tamest of the bunch were compiled into an annual reel. Watching Bette Davis and Humphrey Bogart's alter ego's lose their cool, you wonder why the studio isn't packaging this stuff into DVD gold. view

  Tim Burton is synonymous with vivid, spooky storyworlds, but how does he manage one creepy-tastic hit after the other? College Humor explores this question and uncovers the secret formula -- take an existing story + make it a boatload creepier + add a cartoon-y backdrop + cast Johnny Depp and/or Helena Bonham Carter. Rinse, repeat. Box office magic. view
