I thought I had posted Rodrigo Blaas’s charming short film Alma before, but I don’t think I have (here, at least). Now, I call this short “charming” but others might call it “disturbing” or perhaps even “terrifying.” I’ll stick with “charming,” though.
Here are some shiny things that caught my eye recently:
♦ Look at the vibrancy of colors in this photograph by Ross J. Brown of Rosedale, North Yorkshire, England. Check out his Flickr for more stunning images. Via.
Today’s video is Vacuity, a science-fiction short film by Michael Matzur. The official description:
Trapped in a dying space station’s airlock, Alan must choose between living to see his family again or sacrificing himself to save the lives of his crew.
The film won Celtx Seeds 2012 and is quite well done.
Via.
Here are some shiny things that caught my eye recently:
♦ Underwater photography makes me happy, and I liked this series of underwater Alice in Wonderland photos by Elena Kalis. The image below is one of my favorites, but do click through to see more of these fun photographs. Via.
I’m in an odd mood, so today’s videos are an odd pairing indeed. One is sweet, well, bittersweet, and the other is very intense and probably NSFW (depending, of course, on where you work). Onward to bizarre juxtapositions:
First is Reverso, an animated short by Kimberly Honma, Clément Lauricella, and Arthur Seguin. Here is the official description:
Barney lives with his father, Walter, in a littler suburban house. He tries to live a normal life eventhough Barney is different: His sense of gravity is inverted…
The second is Dirty Laundry, a short film featuring Thomas Jane as Frank Castle/The Punisher and Ron Perlman. Jane, who I now think is cooler than ever for making this fan film, had this to say about it:
I wanted to make a fan film for a character I’ve always loved and believed in—a love letter to Frank Castle & his fans. It was an incredible experience with everyone on the project throwing in their time just for the fun of it. It’s been a blast to be a part of from start to finish—we hope the friends of Frank enjoy watching it as much as we did making it.
