Malaria - Edson Oda (2013)

Gosto de ser surpreendido... Foi o que aconteceu com este "Malaria", uma curta do brasileiro Edson Oda, onde, sem dúvida, há uma maneira deveras original de contar a estória. Ora veja:

 

MALARIA tells the story of Fabiano, a young Mercenary who is hired to kill Death.
This short film combines Origami, Kirigami, Time lapse, nankin illustration, Comic Books and Western Cinema.


The EDGE - Piotr Kabat (2012)

Uma curta de Piotr Kabat, a partir de um excerto de "Gonzo The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson", do escritor americano Hunter S. Thompson:

 

«A little homage to Hunter S. Thompson based on a "Gonzo The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson" excerpt.
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson is back from the grave to mock the living in a Gonzo animation by Piotr Kabat. The inspiration here is one of Thompson’s oft-repeated quotes: THE EDGE, there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over. Kabat channels the spirit of the original with an impressionistic two-minute run from the Golden Gate Park down to Santa Cruz, no helmet required.

100 Important Directors of Animated ShortFilms

100 Important Directors of Animated Short Films:  Background
This list of 100 important directors of animated short films was assembled in late 2008 to serve as a complement to “Brief Encounters,” a proposed list of 250 great short films (both animated and live-action) which was to be developed by the folks at the They Shoot Pictures, Don’t They? website.  Unfortunately, that 250-film list is in limbo, leaving our list without a home.
The “100 Important Directors of Animated Short Films” list is not intended to be comprehensive.  These are simply 100 directors whom we feel are important and deserving of increased recognition by film lovers.  For each director, we selected three “highly recommended” movies.  In addition, we included a category of “TSPDT 250 Greatest Shorts” to highlight any of these directors’ films which were tentatively slated to place on the abandoned Brief Encounters list.
This project was facilitated by Lee Price (lee-109) on the IMDb Classic Film message board.  Project team:  Lee Price, Robert Reynolds (Illtdesq), Jorge Didaco (jdidaco), Bill Kamberger (bkamberger), and Rob Tomshany (RobT-2), with additional input from animation fans on the IMDb Classic Film message board.
