Man, the output of quality works from animation schools lately has been phenomenal; this dialogue-free animated short film by 4 Supinfocom Arles students is no exception..

This takes me back to my youth making stop motion shorts with my Aliens action toys, except this time it’s with Batman and totally not shit.

Must remember to start playing with Source Filmmaker, this short made using the awesome program takes on properties of a great Pixar short (even if the facial animations are a bit stilted).

This is a short film about Illustration, which is based on a poem that I wrote in my last year of art school, needless to say; studying illustration. It concerns a fictitious congratulatory letter written by a proud tutor to a recent graduate.

Hooray! More stuff from Bird Box studios and this funny animated short of two wildebeests contemplating crossing a river is really great stuff.

For fans of The Punisher that starred Thomas Jane: he’s gone and made a true to the word ‘fan film’ and it’s fucking awesome. Recommended.

While disassembling an engine for repair, youtuber nothingheroek had the brilliant idea to use the reference photos taken and use them to create this stop-frame animation.

Boasting some really impressive animation and design, this short film strings together a host of sociocultural metaphors; though a bit heavy in some ‘symbolism’ and confounded in ideologies, it’s still very impressive stuff.

It’s only taken five years since the release of Team Fortress 2 and the debut of their awesome “Meet the…” promo shorts, but “Meet the Pyro” has finally been released and it is oh so darkly funny.

In association with Burt’s Bees, Isabella Rossellini has made three educational shorts, the first on the behaviours of worker bees.

The second on the nympho queen bee.

And finally the lowly male drone who makes up only 1% of the colony.

If you’re already familiar Isabella Rossellini’s Green Porno, then this won’t seem too odd; but if you’re not, well, welcome aboard to the bizarre and awesome world of Rossellini’s educational short film series.

Green Porno is a series of short films written and directed by Rossellini, where she reenacts the mating rituals of various animals and insects in a format that’s both visually entertaining, educational and often enough disturbing (example: whales).
