  The Lemon Tree

  (Experimental)
  [ 3:07 - from Vimeo ]

  This experimental short is an amazing audio-visual experience with vintage flavor. It's a story of a lemon tree that defines not only a neighborhood, but a boy's childhood as well. Looking up at the tree is a commentary on our constant need for perfection, and how chasing that dream can sometimes take us farther from our goal.  view

  The Mysterious Explorations of Jasper Morello

  (Experimental)
  [ 26:08 - from YouTube ]

  This amazing short film earned top honors at festivals a few years ago. Set in the mythical world of Gothia, navigator Jasper Morello must overcome his reluctance to fly again and stop a madman from killing his crew. Though the animation alone is captivating, the filmmakers also genuinely focused on story. Highly recommended and great to watch in full screen HD. view

  The Lost Tribes of New York City

  (Experimental)
  [ 3:00 - from Vimeo ]

  Andy and Carolyn London deliver this interesting animation based on their candid conversations with New York City residents. The voices of the interviewees are transposed onto inanimate objects, their stories told by a phone booth, luggage, and newspaper stand. A unique introduction to Manhattan's diversity. view

  Story from North America

  (Cartoon / Traditional)
  [ 4:30 - from Vimeo ]

  Here's a creepy and funny animation of an equally creepy and funny song. A son asks his father to kill a spider and his understanding of the world changes. I love the hand-drawn technique and oddball jokes. view

  The Courtship of Sniffy LaPants

  (Cartoon / Traditional)
  [ 6:02 - from YouTube ]

  Alternative cartoonist Walt Holcombe created this short animation about romantic longing, featuring music by the Austin Tango Orchestra.  Holcombe's work has a wonderful mix of whimsy and melancholy, and they never go exactly where you expect.  This short is a surrealist poem disguised as a Saturday morning cartoon.  I hope you enjoy. view

  We Believe

  (Experimental)
  [ 1:24 - from Vimeo ]

  This motion graphic video was made for the DMEXCO 2009 in Cologne. It's an excellent example of how motion can express every word, shown by a representative sequence - the meaning is beautiful. Another excellent work from impressive artist, Jorinna Scherle, who has been working with really great studios lately. view

  Tony vs. Paul

  
  (Stop Motion)
  [ 5:03 - from YouTube ]

  A great idea does not have to be expensive technology. Soon this concept was adopted by many high fluten ad agencies to use with large corporate clients. But it started here. Think sock puppets, Blair Witch, even Microsoft. In short; you have the tools…now figure out what we all can’t live with and you’ll be rich.  view

  D.U.N.G.: Parody of National Organization for Marriage Ad

  (3D)
  [ 1:50 - from YouTube ]

  There's a storm coming alright, and it's about to rain down on the National Organization for Marriage.  The NOM's ad has spawned its own collection of parodies, and this is just one of them.  Simple animated characters with robotic voices make outrageous claims and present us with their ignorance.  Hint hint, NOM. view
