I've been working on it for almost two years - shooting and reshooting, developing the cg elements, editing and animating, etc.. If I had known it was going to take so long I probably would never have started. But in any case, I'm really happy with the way it turned out, and above all, I'm just glad it's finally finished!

Geri's Game
This is a live action version of the Pixar animated short film of the same name. I am very impressed with the work they did on this. I checked out the clip from Pixar of Geri's Game, unfortunately it is only a few minutes, but the live action version is better in many ways. I have to give a hand to the makers they did a great job.

Sonata
Everyone loves a love story. I was thinking about Valentine's day coming up, and what to do for my loving wife. I will probably get her a single red rose, since I know she likes them but she does not like the expense of a whole dozen. Roses mean something special to the ones we love and care about, and the lead character in this video knows that. A very touching love story with and open ending. Do they get together in the end?

What does any of that have to do with this video, well our back door is not closing very well and we could just use a new door there. I guess we should head on down to the Door Store and pick on up.

Lemony Snicket: 12 Books in 120 Seconds
I don't read as much as I used to. I think it is because I had to read so much in University I just got tired of it. I do read a lot on line, does that count?

Smiling Addiction
I am feeling a little blue today. Don't really know why, just tired mostly I think. Anyways, I came across this excellent short film called "Smiling Addiction" and I thought it was really interesting. Our society often tells us that it is not ok to be sad or blue. We are suppose to be happy all the time and we do a lot of things to try and make us happy.

Gopher Broke
Here is a great animated short film that I just came across. It features an ambitious gopher trying to get some good eats from the trucks passing by. The video reminds me of watching Looney Tune cartoons when I was a kid. There is just something about the animation and the way it is done that makes me laugh.
Looks like the video was made by Blur Studio. I will have to keep my eye out for more of there shorts on Google Video.

Egghunt
This is a great short film by Paul Yan that tells the story of a hunger caveman and his quest for food. This is a great short animated film that should find it's way into theatres IMHO.

Copy Shop
This is amazing! I never expected to see such high quality video on Google Video without paying for it.
From the description of the video.
This video is roughly 14 minutes long, but it is really good. Take a look for yourself.
From the description of the video.
An amazing Oscar-nominated example of what can be done with a dash of technology, a little creative thinking and a lot of paper! A man wakes up one morning and goes to his work in the copy shop, but finds that when he accidentally photocopies his hand, things spiral out of control. This film is so well crafted on every level: Virgil Widrich and his team painstakingly shot the film, printed out and re-photographed 18,000 frames to create the distinctive, scratchy aesthetic of the film. The acting is impressive, the sound design award-winning - all in all a truly superb short that pushes the animation medium to its absurdist outer limits.
