The Wilhelm is classic.
The makers of Astropia used it in one of the scenes.

Short animation: “Last Duet on Earth”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6RSD8m_QOQ

Funny. Has post-apocalyptic zombies. AND uses music from the “Ravenous” soundtrack. What’s not to like? Check out his other films too, especially “Day Off” and “Spacewolf”

Halloween Viewing.  ONE OF MY FAVORITE all time film shorts.  Fucking terrified me back in the nineties when I caught this in the cinema at an animation festival. 

Yea, the Youtube quality is a bit lacking, but this is the way you do Stop Motion Horror!

Heheh. This is a priceless trailer for “.Rec”!

It shows nothing of the movie, instead it has night-vision footage of the audience while they were watching it at Sitges 2007…
Clever as hell, and fun to watch. Seems like this one contains a few nice jumps:

“This is Bad Theatre!”

David Lynch lecture on Transcendental Meditation in Germany goes wrong when the message starts to steer too close to the Third Reich (or is it Scientology?)

Two Youtube parts are here:

just what the doctor ordered, a great song about sperm

Don’t know if Michel Gondry and company owe even a tiny part of the inspiration of the BE KIND, REWIND to the “Common Craft” guys approach to low-tecking the internet.  I love how they subtly mock powerpoint in their little “In Plain English” tutorials. 

Anyway, this one missed me until today.  On Halloween’ they did a little tutorial on Zombies.  Of course it is informative and funny:

This is the type of geek-chic creation that puts a smile from ear to ear (says the self-confessed opening credits junkie).

Is there anyone more influential in the ‘opening credits’ department than Saul Bass?  Just take any opening credits sequence you’ve seen prior to 1980 --and still remember-- and it was probably Bass.  From It’s A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World to Seconds to that crazy animated bit in the middle of Vertigo, it’s all S.B. (and this is to say nothing of all the fab One Sheets the man is responsible for).

Some enterprising fellow (a graphic arts student no doubt) has a ”what if” version of the opening credits of Star Wars, a great idea and brilliant execution, considering that there were never any opening credits in front of these films.

Want to compare?  Suggestions for further Saul Bass credit sequences are here.

Brilliant. And mad!

Behold the glory of… MANDOM!

Right here!

A search for “mandom” will yield numerous other spots, including a 2-minute clip.

didn’t really see anything of Pleix on the forums so thought i’d post it here. These guys make quite interesting videos, not always for a musician or group by the way.

personal favorite:
Simone
Ebaby

other work:
Beauty Kit
Basement Jaxx - Cish Cash
Groove Armada - Get Down
etc..
