The Website is Down is a hilarious trek through IT hell. If you’ve ever worked tech or know anything about it, this is basically real life condensed.
And funny enough, their website actually did go down due to the traffic they were getting.
Enjoy

Fantastic little short starring Kevin Pollack. I really like the editing as it transitions from patient to patient.

Faithful reader Chris sent me The Water Shrew, a CG animated short with some really cool action sequences.
The CG is really good. At first, I actually thought it was real. It became more noticeable once you see the animals moving.
Thanks, Chris!

Jimbo is 13. All he can think about is one girl, Sarah Jane. And no matter what stands in his way - bullies, violence, chaos, zombies - nothing is going to stop him from finding a way into her world.
Zombies? Romance? What else can you ask for?

Some really nice animation and clever editing. The story is enough to draw you in, but act 2 drags a bit.

This has happened to everyone. Sometimes they just look better from behind.
We were fooling around after drama one day. Viv was talking about how she would do this in school. In between takes, she was running around scaring the children; wish I got THAT on tape
