Mathieu Labaye’s short-movie, Camera etc (Belgium, Liège): http://www.camera-etc.be
Great tribute to his father Benoît Labaye, suffered from a multiple sclerosis at 29 years old. Benoît Labaye had been confined to a wheelchair since age 40 and died at 55 years old the 04.22.2006, as a result of a pneumonia.

The first 4 minutes could seem a little long to watch but they are important to understand the mind of the director. The second part is amazing and contains a very strong message which is “sublimated” thanks to the first part.

Upgrade + Mobilize is our latest short film / experimental branding piece. It’s a legendary story about good and evil, told through the synthesis of raw creative energy and inspired sound design. U+M employs a range of techniques, styles and disciplines that made the process of creating the piece both challenging and rewarding. A massive, sincere thanks to our whole team for pouring their hearts into this project, and a special thanks to Plaid for adding their musical genius into the mix.

“I’m Here” is a robot love story celebrating a life enriched by creativity. The movie is set in contemporary L.A., where life moves at a seemingly regular pace with the exception of a certain amount of robot residents who love among the population. A male robot librarian lives a solitary and methodical life — devoid of creativity, joy and passion – until he meets an adventurous and free spirited female robot. The film stars British actor Andrew Garfield (Boy A, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Social Network) and Sienna Guillory, one of Maxims 100 sexiest women.

Parkour by saggyarmpit from Singapore is an animation that uses a whole bunch of sheets of paper and creates animation by flipping those sheets.

According to one of the comments on the video page it’s influenced by this video, VIDEOGIOCO by Donato Sansone . Not really sure if he’s the first using this style of animation, so if anybody can clarify this

Pretty cool idea, nice to see how some people can put a new spin on something which would otherwise seem trivial. Had me smiling the entire time.
