My review on some movies

Ah ok, let us take a look at some movies I have dug up, Ive had a good night out and still managed to squeeze this baby in.



Heres a sneaky one I dug up on Fat-pie.com

The movie title is Alen, this character was created on paper using ink, some felt tip pens and patience.
I really liked this story as it was surreal (I love surrealism), however for David firth this was quite a diffrent approach than most of his short clips as it had a logical begining and ending (but somehow still retained its surreal nature), this was due to the characters; they where human like but also alien.
The story line revolved around a Character called Alen who assumed the role of a hero, this hero could sense a gunshot victim before the devious act actually happened, it goes on to explain (right at the end) that he gets these visions 30 seconds before the initail crime - henceforth he does not have time to save anyone but continues to try anyways.
An impressive feat indeed as all the backgrounds and characters where hand drawn and then animated in a program I expect to be Imovie or Adobe premier (I have done a project in the past called 'Burslem life' using this technique and it does take time and patience using photos instead of hand drawing) A definate must see for those who would like to experiment with moving stills.

I dont want to sound like a Boffin or anything but I have done something simular before, the web site that this movie can be found at is Studentfilms.com - under the name (Ken's new specks), this narrative has a sort of abvious outcome, as soon as I started playing it I knew what would happen. this film seems to be animated in I-Stopmotion and is made of clay models mixed with material and other items, the backgrounds seem to be custom build too but are simply paper (I expect the work was done in Photoshop), the models are very well build and the scenes are well planned.
A very funny tale that is worth taking a look at.

Ah yes, definately one of my favourites

I found this beauty at atom films (search google) - it is called Animator vs animation.
It is a really clever film in my opinion as the clip actually takes place in the program used to create the animation (Flash). the stick man decides he does not want to be deleted by the user and fights back, this is an amazing flash animation and will make anyone laugh who has a sense of humour. very clever, very profesional and just basically a well produced flash animation that is fun to watch. the characters are basic but it portrays exactly what it is meant to, the creator must have had alot of fun with this one.


This movie is by far the most impressive I am writing about. I found this one at www.Goldenseconds.com - the title, Lifes too short.
It starts with a woman giving birth, she then SHOOTS her newborn child through the operating theaters window and he flies through the sky aging as he goes along only to smack into a grave at the end. Like my description of this short clip, its short and so is life. At the end we descover it is a Xbox advertisement... I cant explain the full effect, you have to watch it for yourself.
The move is created using video and some 3D backgrounds, very effective.
