"AZUREUS RISING"
Black sun entertainment (http://thesunsetsblack.com/)
No Dialog, and it can still tell two great stories. The making of it, and the short action packed sequence. This proof of concept took two years of San Diego director/producer David Weinstein’s time and money to create it. All with the hope of it being turned into a feature film, and video game franchise. David had to work freelance jobs to fund the production, while still trying to meet the challenge of creating five and half minutes of feature quality, high definition animation . Some of the struggles included were, the animation was all keyframed there is no motion capture or rotoscoping used for any of the characters, with a core team of five artists, and no established pipeline or tech support team.
Currently it is supposed to be in the process of being turned into a feature film. and has won 8 awards. Best animated short film, Hollyshorts film festival, L.A. film festival, Malibu international film festival. The awards continue on with, best director, L.A. film festival, as well as, Best editing, best sound design, best original score, and best visuals, all from the L.A. international film festival. I actually was very surprised to see it was made by such a small group.
The action was fantastic, the sound was beautiful, I loved that the only sound the main character made was his breathing through his mask. It had great weapons designs, and the perfect mix of Sci-fi, fantasy, and humanism. A great ride, I will see this if it becomes a feature film.

BECKS "FOUR STEPS"
Directed by Dougal Wilson, animation and compositing by Passion Pictures. (http://www.passion-pictures.com/flash.html)
It is a pretty simple and very cool, little beer commercial. It starts out really simple, a marionette dancing this little four step routine, on a dim kind of slum like street corner. (the dance is one way they pointed to Beck’s beer, and its four ingredients, (barley, water, hops, and yeast) Then out of the blue a 2d cartoon that looks like the marionette pops out of the sewer and dances along. Then a stop motion resembling the other two jumps over the fence, and the 3 of them do the 4 step dance. Lastly a guy who the other 3 have been modeled after joins in. there are some really cool little things, like a dog that makes the live action guy jump, and he bumps into the stop motion guy. And they all react really well. It’s a great way they have combined these different styles. 42 seconds, and the same 4 step dance, one of the coolest 42 seconds I’ve spent online though.
