Funky short films...

So this week we've looked at a brief history through moving image distribution and consumption. In other words, the concept of images in motion. The task this week was to look for three short films that tell some sort of story that were made for viewing on the internet. First I checked out short film reviews, which is an awesome website with a number of different short films in all types of movie genres. The first one I came across called '10 more minutes' tells an interesting story about three interconnecting stories thats shows how life can end at any moment. I think what makes it a good short film is by using different characters and linking them together the audience is captivated for the whole time, wondering how it all fits together.

Replay - Awesome Animated Short Film


This one I thought was an excellent display of animation. What made this so popular I think, is the story line. The idea of being a deserted world, holding onto a distant memory of life (the tape recorder) made it able to relate to and realistic. I think this story line was the reason why it became so popular and of course the amazing use of animation.

The Picnic


This short film is hilarious. Although the use of acting isn't the best, the female who plays the part of crazy lady really makes it a laugh to watch. What makes this film good is the comedy, how a normal day in the park can turn into a nightmare. The end is what I think makes the film so popular, where she says, "who the fuck is Erin?" Absolutely hilarious! I really enjoyed watching this film!
