Fallen Art



It's hard to find animations on black humor these days, and I believe Fallen Art from the Polish studio Platigue Image is a perfect text book example of what that term means. It is about a military commander creating the greatest masterpiece of his life through some.. unconventional method.

現在要找有關黑色幽默的短片真不簡單. 波蘭的公司Platigue Image所製作的Fallen Art大概算是解釋"黑色幽默"這名詞最好用的例子. 一個軍隊的指揮官,正在用一個相當... 脫軌的方式創造他這一生最偉大的藝術傑作.

Toy Story 3 Trailer



The official trailer for Pixar's next feature, Toy Story 3, is out. Can't believe it has come such a long way since the first one. I still remember watching the first film back in elementary school days and how it sparked my interest in 3D visuals...

皮克斯的下一個動畫 - 玩具總動員3的官方預告片出來了. 真難相信從第一部到現在已過了那麼長的時間. 我還記得讀小學的時候看的第一集讓我對3D動畫產生了莫大的好奇和興趣

Doll Face



A really unsettling film from Andrew Huang, Doll Face is about a weird jack-in-the-box type of robot with spidery arms constantly trying to make herself look like the image on TV. The message of the short is simple, yet quite powerful too.

一個給人感覺不大舒服的短片, Andrew Huang所製作的Doll Face是關於一個像是蹦蹦小丑魔術盒的女機器人,用她像蜘蛛般的觸角試著讓自己變的像電視裡的人一樣美麗.給人的訊息簡單易懂,不過又很強烈

MTV Movie Award Leftovers



A few very hilarious shorts from Fatal Farm that were suppose to be shown at MTV's 2009 Movie Awards but were apparently being cut. Make sure you turn up the volume while watching these.

Fatal Farm 所製作的一些很暴笑的短片. 本來應該是要在MTV 2009 電影獎典禮撥出, 不過似乎被刪掉了. 看這影片時記得要把喇叭打開.

Dix



"Dix" is a harrowing but beautiful short from the London-based studio The Mill. It's about a guy who has an OCD of never being able to step on to the lines between tiles, and his journey to cure himself of such a disorder. (Warning: This short can get very gruesome at some point, so if you have a weak stomach I suggest you not to watch it)

"Dix" 是倫敦的一家公司-The Mill 所製作的一個很悲哀又美麗的短片. 描述一個有邊緣人格,絕對不能踩磚塊之間縫細的可憐人,以及他試著治癒自己的旅程. (警告: 這短片有時會變的瞞血腥,腸胃不好的人建議不要看)

PlayFace




PlayFace is Sony's new viral ad campaign for their new Sony PS3 Slim. The various videos show people's facial reactions to the games they are playing. I really like the way the video slows down in key moments and the spot-on sound effects. Check out the official site too.

PlayFace 是一波Sony PS3 Slim 的新廣告. 影片裡秀出各型各色的人對他們所玩的遊戲做出的表情反應. 我很喜歡影片乎快乎慢的感覺和音效. 建議看看它的官方網站

Where the Hell is Matt?



Many of us longed to travel the world but couldn't due to a variety of reasons. This guy not only did it, but did it with style. "Where the Hell is Matt" is a video montage of this guy, Matt, doing the same silly dance all over the world. Just hope I can do this someday too...

很多人會說他們最大的希望就是環遊世界.這傢伙不但辦到了,而且還辦的很有風格."Where the Hell is Matt" 就是在秀這傢伙,Matt,在世界各地跳著他那有點搞笑的舞.真希望哪天我也可以這樣...
