Great short film about trees and Christmas. You’d never see anything like this in the theatres. And that’s the true gold mine for what’s to come. Original and innovative stories like this.

Beautiful short film shot on a DVX100 w/ a 35mm adapter. Just goes to show, all you need is a nice little story and a fantastic eye to make something gorgeous.

A machine with a doll face mimics images on television screen in search of a satisfactory visage. Doll Face presents a visual account of desires misplaced and identities fractured by our technological extension into the future.
A beautiful visually told story. The live action is seamlessly melded with the cg animation.

This is one of Scorsese’s first films. He shot it while he was at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in 1963 on 16mm film.
Martin’s come a long way.

It starts off kind of slow, but once you get to the half way mark it becomes beautiful. Not just because there’s naked chics, but the shots and the story really draw you in. Normally, voice overs aren’t a good choice, but it works here and is used effectively.

A SHORT LOVE STORY IN STOP MOTION.
Here’s a link to the making of.
Carlos shot the film with a Nikon D70s and Sony HVR V1, captured with a Blackmagic Intensity Card, and edited using Adobe Photoshop, After effects CS3, Final Cut and iStop Motion on an Mac Pro from Apple. Many of the organic textures such as particles, drops, autumn leaves, etc, were carefully filmed over a green background in uncompressed full HD at 1920 x 1080.
A fantastic and beautiful short.

Cohl made “Fantasmagorie” from February to May or June 1908. This is considered the first fully animated film ever made. It was made up of 700 drawings, each of which was double-exposed, leading to a running time of almost two minutes. Despite the short running time, the piece was packed with material devised in a “stream of consciousness” style. It borrowed from Blackton in using a “chalk-line effect” (filming black lines on white paper, then reversing the negative to make it look like white chalk on a black chalkboard), having the main character drawn by the artist’s hand on camera, and the main characters of a clown and a gentleman (this taken from Blackton’s “Humorous Phases of Funny Faces”). The film, in all of its wild transformations, is a direct tribute to the by-then forgotten Incoherent movement. The title is a reference to the “fantasmograph”, a mid-Nineteenth Century variant of the magic lantern that projected ghostly images that floated across the walls.
It’s an amazing little piece of history. It’s nice to see how far we’ve come and yet how things don’t change that much. Here’s to another 100 years of animation.

It’s amazing to know that the whole thing was shot on a Canon HV20. Here’s the before and after color grading.
The film was shot mostly with the stock lens, and some shots used the CANON Wide-angle adapter. I did extensive tests before hand with different settings and CC ideas, so I knew exactly how to use the Camera during production. I shot with 1/60th shutter at least, sacrificing the cinemode — and compensated for that by turning down the contrast in the settings to gain a bit of dynamic range. The “Before” images are really washed out and look flat, but having done the tests I knew what to look for. The wardrobe and locations were carefully considered to get a certain kind of look and colors after CC.
