A Day in Paris



Filmmaker Benoît Millot brought this lovely, dreamy live-action + 3D animated short film to my attention, and I'm so glad he did. Sort of a trippy, shoegazey Up in the Air meets Transformers. Been out a couple months, but new to me. Shot on a Canon 7D Mark I, and it shows. Music: Electric President "I'm Not The Lonely Son."

Tron remixed trailer and titles



I love the simplicity and minimalism of Saul Bass. I love the film Tron and I thought, and if Saul Bass had done the opening title of the film?
This is the result, I hope you enjoy it.
Edition: Flash CS3
Music: Matt Sorum - Beulah Witch

Just a huge fan of this movie. Wanted to make a exciting trailer with a modern feel as oppose to its original marketing in the 80s. I hope people will give this movie a try before they see Tron Legacy. Sure its dated but there was practically nothing like it in the day, especially 1982. Hope you folks like this fan edit and do check out the film before the sequel comes out. Also rate comment subscribe if you like what you see. Thank you for watching!!

*No copyright infringement intended. Please support the release of this film and the company party in question.

P.S. Sorry for the terrible writing IE. the titles. Definitely a weakness of mine.

P.S.S. Special thanks to my girlfriend. She let me dork out for a few weeks.

P.S.S.S. Sorry for the mistake in the Date card. It should have been July 9th. I don't know why I thought it was the 19th.

With Tron: Legacy due out later this year , a revival of the classic Tron from 1982 is underway, with a few truefans translating their passion into fun videos. At top, Hexagonall's "Tron vs. Saul Bass" title sequence. Below that, a new Tron (1982) trailer. Its creator, DrewboiX, writes, "Wanted to make a exciting trailer with a modern feel as oppose to its original marketing in the 80s."

Logorama



Spectacular car chases, an intense hostage crisis, wild animals rampaging through the city... and even more in LOGORAMA !

H5 directed many videos (Alex Gopher, Massive Attack, Goldfrapp, Röyksopp...), and has regularly been invited to exhibitions (2007 Nuit Blanche, Beaubourg, MoMA...). Logorama is its first short film.

LOGORAMA brings to life a world built out of familiar logos. Hundreds of logos and mascots are used, and they include examples from software companies, shopping centers, restaurants, sports teams, movies, and any number of other products, agencies, and corporations. It's a lot of fun watching all of these familiar logos used so creatively. They fill the screen and zip by without calling attention to themselves. Watching LOGORAMA is like a game of "How Many Logos Can You Name?" To fully appreciate this animated short, one needs to freeze-frame each part and check out all the details.

I cannot imagine how much work it must have been filling this virtual city with all of those brands. Each logo fits in in some logical way. Boxy logos, for example, are often used as buildings, while pedestrians are made from the yellow AOL Instant Messenger guy or the Bic pen guy. Cops are Michelin men. The zoo includes the MGM lion and the Linux penguin. Hundreds and hundreds of everyday logos are used and they are used so cleverly that it nearly boggles the mind. As new logos reveal themselves, the viewer is awestruck. "Aw, man! No way!"

It's that cool.

The plot is secondary, but includes chase scenes, gunfire, and natural disasters. It's action-packed. The dialogue is laced with profanity and the cartoon has a mature (PG-13?) edge.

LOGORAMA doesn't seem to have any deep symbolic meaning. It's just a fun way to kind of comment on how many different corporate logos people are familiar with nowadays. Our everyday lives are flooded with these images on TV, in newspaper ads, on the street, etc. This film takes these well-known images and has fun with them.

I think it's great fun to see all of the familiar logos and images, but the profanity seems a little unnecessary and off-putting and the low-budget voice cast could be better. (Just my opinion.) Still the visual experience is well worth it and the details in this short warrant repeat viewings and freeze-frame inspection.

How many logos can YOU name?

Logorama es un corto animado en 3D de unos 15 minutos elaborado usando únicamente las formas, colores y diseños de conocidas Marcas Registradas e Íconos, todo esto tanto para los personajes como para los escenarios. Se usaron como 2.500 logos, esto fue realizado por el estudio de animación francés: H5 y Minuit Productions.

Canción de los créditos finales: I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire
Directores: Francois Alaux, Herve de Crecy.

Predators Trailer (Robert Rodriguez)



Writer/producer Robert Rodriguez.

A bold new chapter in the Predator universe, "Predators" was shot on location under Rodriguez's creative auspices at the filmmaker's Austin-based Troublemaker Studios, and is directed by Nimrod Antal. The film stars Adrien Brody as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they've been brought together on an alien planet... as prey. With the exception of a disgraced physician, they are all cold-blooded killers - mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members - human "predators" that are now being systemically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators.

Predators Cast: Laurence Fishburne, Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Walton Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, Louis Ozawa Changchien, Derek Mears

Natural gas commercial



In this clever and engaging video, the warmth of natural gas heat is visualized through the use of stop-motion animation of knitted wool.

The idea of the film is simple. How to visualize the warmth of natural gas? By the use of the stop motion technic, we see how warmth spreads through the house as knitted wool. A film of TBWA Brussels, directed by Olivier Babinet produced by Lovo Films. Don't forget to check out the making of how we did it!

The First Frankenstein Movie (1910)



Frankenstein is a 1910 film made by Edison Studios that was written and directed by J. Searle Dawley. It was the first motion picture adaptation of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The unbilled cast included Augustus Phillips as Dr. Frankenstein, Charles Ogle as the Monster, and Mary Fuller as the doctor's fiancée.

Shot in three days, it was filmed at the Edison Studios in the Bronx, New York City. Although some sources credit Thomas Edison as the producer, he in fact played no direct part in the activities of the motion picture company that bore his name.

Frankenstein is in the public domain, and you can download it here for free: http://www.archive.org/details/FrankensteinfullMovie

Catzilla

Catzilla from tokyoplastic on Vimeo.



We got to work with a really great new set of people making this animation. Andy Hague helped to build one of the neatest, most comprehensible comps I have ever seen and then I really struggled to match its excellence in the remaining shots. Cheers Andy. Being a method animator Anders Freij had to spend three weeks living as a cat in order to really connect with the feline psyche; quite justifiable if you ask me as the results are magnificently authentic. And I spent three torturous months rendering and re-rendering and putting stuff on fire. Well done me. A billion thanks to everyone involved.

Also I used Tyson Ibele's great building generator to create some of the buildings... and then rebuilt them with simpler geometry but its an ace script anyway check it out.

The Story of Bottled Water (2010) - La historia de las cosas (español)



http://storyofbottledwater.org

The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all.

Our production partners on the bottled water film include five leading sustainability groups: Corporate Accountability International, Environmental Working Group, Food & Water Watch, Pacific Institute, and Polaris Institute.

Zimoun : Sound Sculptures & Installations



Swiss artist Zimoun builds sound installations that create a unique audiovisual experience. This video is a compilation of many of his projects, including listening to woodworms at work using a microphone, an automat with selections representing different cities, and pvc hoses flopping about under the force of compressed air.

Zimoun : Sound Sculptures & Installations
Compilation Video V1.7 / Last update: March 2010

Zimoun's sound sculptures and installations are graceful, mechanized works of playful poetry, their structural simplicity opens like an industrial bloom to reveal a complex and intricate series of relationships, an ongoing interplay between the «artificial» and the «organic».

He is interested in the artistic research of simple and elegant systems to generate and study complex behaviours in sound and motion. He creates sound pieces from basic components, often using multiples of the same prepared mechanical elements to examine the creation and degeneration of patterns.

Music Matters - Blind Willie Johnson



Future Shorts is proud to present Matt Watkins' touching short animation inspired by Blind Willie Johnson, the first in a series of animations to launch the Music Matters campaign. Stay tuned to Music Matters on Facebook and Twitter @whymusicmatters.

Join Future Shorts for the very special Music Matters Launch Event at Cargo, London - 24th March. Amazing shorts, live music, live art and very special guests. Click here for all the details: http://bit.ly/bKslOs

Blind Willie Johnson (January 22, 1897 - September 18, 1945) was an American singer and guitarist whose music straddled the border between blues and spirituals. While the lyrics of all of his songs were religious, his music drew from both sacred and blues traditions.

Among musicians, he is considered one of the greatest slide or bottleneck guitarists, as well as one of the most revered figures of depression-era gospel music. His music is distinguished by his powerful bass thumb-picking and gravelly false-bass voice, with occasional use of a tenor voice.

Matt Watkins' short animation was inspired by Blind Willie Johnson.

Picasso's Guernica in 3D



A 3D exploration of Picasso's Guernica

Guernica is a painting by Pablo Picasso, depicting the bombing of Guernica, Basque Country, by German and Italian warplanes at the behest of the Spanish Nationalist forces, on April 26, 1937, during the Spanish Civil War.

Guernica shows the tragedies of war and the suffering it inflicts upon individuals, particularly innocent civilians. This work has gained a monumental status, becoming a perpetual reminder of the tragedies of war, an anti-war symbol, and an embodiment of peace. Guernica in 3D was created by art student Lena Gieseke from the University of Georgia, USA.

Second Wind



Ian Worrel has drawn up this wonderfully meditative mixed-media short film, “Second Wind”. This spiritual journey of two friends becomes a story about life and death whose refreshing aesthetic consists of paper/pencil cell animation that has been comped and colored digitally. Though some scenes feel a bit rough, the story and style draw you in.

Being his final project for CalArts 2008, here’s some nice behind the scenes stuff.

Tron Legacy is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that's unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

The Light of Life



Life is transparent, warm and swirls randomly like a soft light. And it constantly changes...

Life illuminates itself and then it begins to illuminates a new life.
A sprouted mass of innumerable lights become a flow before long, and then become the part of the life-throb of ages.
That ties life, this moment now.

Alice in Wonderland (1903) - First-Ever Film Version Of Alice In Wonderland



The first-ever film version of Lewis Carroll's tale has recently been restored by the BFI National Archive from severely damaged materials. Made just 37 years after Lewis Carroll wrote his novel and eight years after the birth of cinema, the adaptation was directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow, and was based on Sir John Tenniel's original illustrations. In an act that was to echo more than 100 years later, Hepworth cast his wife as the Red Queen, and he himself appears as the Frog Footman. Even the Cheshire cat is played by a family pet.

With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which survive), Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England at that time. Film archivists have been able to restore the film's original colours for the first time in over 100 years.

Sea of Glass



Some very neat moments in the wonderfully experimental clip by Sean Vicary as part of an audio-visual performance with the composer Tom Middleton.

The coastal landscape of West Wales provides the setting for this short film.
Animation,music and photography are juxtaposed in order to explore the liminal space
between land and sea.

The film has evolved from an original piece produced as part of an audio-visual
performance with the composer Tom Middleton at the National Film Theatre, London.
