Tainted Goods

In this two minute video, a talented salesman pulls up his sales cart in front of a crowd of unsuspecting citizens to peddle his unique wares, and trust me. You've never seen anything like this. Felix Colgrave is a supremely gifted animator. From The Elephant's Garden to the music video for SOURCE by Fever The Ghost to HONK, he is a master of psychedelic animations that leave the viewer wondering what the hell they just watched, and this video is no different.


Time Trap

When an interplanetery traveler is forced to make an emergency landing on a post-apocalyptic Earth, he finds himself in need of some essential parts to repair his spaceship. Fortunately, he has a few handy tools that will help him find what he needs. This sci-fi short film opens on a dramatic crash landing sequence, but quickly shifts to a lighter tone. Written and Directed by Michael Shanks.


Laundry Day

While doing laundry, a woman finds a suspicious item in her boyfriend's pants. After confronting him about it, she may never be able to look at him the same again. The two and a half minute film was written and animated by Guillaume Chartier, now a Pixar animator, for his fourth year film while attending Sheridan College. (This video is an unfinished product, but still well worth the watch.)


Zero

This short film takes place in a world where a person's class is clearly defined from birth. Zero is at the very bottom of the caste system, but he eventually proves that even the least among us can come together to create something great. Written and directed by Christopher Kezelos, this award-winning short film makes brilliant use of the stop motion medium.


The Backwater Gospel

The settler town of Backwater lives in constant fear of the Undertaker, whose arrival in town always coincides with a citizen's death. This isn't your typical visit from the Undertaker, though. This is my all-time favorite short film, a biblical allegory created in 2011 by The Animation Workshop. The unique animation style perfectly complements the tone of the story, and it includes some great music.

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
