Short film // Home Sweet Home

I have a growing fondness of animated films whose characters are brought to life through normally inanimate objects. This short film is another favourite to add to the list:

A place I want to visit

I'm not much of a traveller but I wish I was. Then I could go here...

Distilling inspiration

Earlier this week I saw a few friends tweeting links to a site called Made By Hand [http://thisismadebyhand.com/], a really great site showing short films about people talking about the work they do. Aside from the films being beautifully made, the subjects themselves I find fascinating and incredibly

Earth

This is a short film shot from the ISS between August and October 2011. Five minutes is way to short a time for this in my opinion. I could literally watch this over and over again.

Khoi Vinh: On the Grid

A really great short film featuring Khoi Vinh [http://www.subtraction.com/] talking about comics, design and grids. If you haven't read his book on grid design for the web, Ordering Disorder [http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ordering-Disorder-Principles-Design-Interaction/dp/0321703537/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=

I've seen this short film many many times since I first came across it 18 months ago. Everything about it is simply wonderful; the story, character design, animation... it's got everything I love about animated films.

Shooting in Yosemite

If I weren't so afraid of heights, I would really love to do this. I've done rock climbing before but nothing higher than around 10 metres. I think I would actually freeze with fear. The views from that height must be incredible.

The Mountain

A wonderful time-lapse film showing off some of the wonders of our world.

Up there

An excellent short documentary about New York advertising painters keeping an old trade alive.

Kuroshio Sea

There is only one thing you should do with this video. Set it to full screen, put on some headphones, sit back and enjoy.

Khoda

A short animated film created using over 6000 paintings.

Hand-crafted alphabet

A wonderful short film featuring Job Wouters and his son hand-crafting the alphabet.

Between You and Me

A great short film shot entirely with still cameras. Directed by Patryk Rebisz.

A day in the life of an Editorial Cartoonist

A great video created by Justin Fowler on the day in the life of an Editorial Cartoonist.

Stop-motion test

Ever wonder what I get up to on a Sunday evening? Here's 5 minutes of my life squeezed into 30 seconds.

Gear's Heart

Cool idea. Unless you can speak Japanese, it's worth skipping the video ahead to about 40 seconds in.

Skate

This is a great contender to Live Animation [http://www.skatevideosite.com/skatevideos/live-animation/soundtrack] in the area of photography. Gorgeous. Props to Elliott Kember [http://twitter.com/elliottkember] for finding it and posting it on Twitter.

Hillman Curtis Artist Series

A series of short films [http://www.hillmancurtis.com/index.php?/film/view/artist_series/] featuring artists, illustrators and designers. I found the Paula Scher film of particular interest.
