The Piano

The Piano -- Aidan Gibbons

Very simple and very beautiful. An old man shares his life story with his young grandchild through music.

The song is: “Comptine d’un autre été: l’après midi” composed by: Yann Tiersen

Please Say Something

Please Say Something – David OReilly

I pretty much love everything David O’Reilly has ever done. I first saw his work at Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2005… The amazing music video for Venetian Snares ‘Szamar Madar’. Since this he has produced some awesome stuff, including a music video for U2, onstage visuals for MIA and a handful of amazing, mind bending shorts… Seriously… Mind bending… You have to watch them.

His work is kind of a mix between Sega 3D graphics, Chris Ware, Windows Paint and bad dreams.

I can’t wait to see his latest project Serial Entoptics… It looks very subtle compared to this… still very beautiful… although with Venetian Snares appearing on the trailer it could become explosive.

Red and BoxBot Responds

Red and BoxBot Responds – Andreas Normand Grøntved & Søren Bendt Pedersen

This short was made by two chaps in 48 hours as part of the 48h 3D jam 2007 in Stuttgart… Astonishing. Everything from boards, design to modelling animation and shading. It also has a great story.

Original score, done by René Brokop.
