Skhizein

This is such an amazing idea from Jérémy Clapin and was very nicely implemented. Skhizein means "sepparate" in greek and that's exactly what happens to the main character after an meteorite falls close to him: his body is 91 cm displaced from where it should be. A nice metaphor for the feeling of not belonging, which everyone can relate to at some point.

Essa é uma idéia fantástica de autoria de Jérémy Clapin e foi muito bem executada. Skhizein significa "separar" em grego e isso é exatamente o que acontece com o personagem após a queda de um meteorito perto dele: seu corpo fica deslocado 91 cm de onde deveria estar. Uma bela metáfora para o sentimento universal de não pertencer.

Backwards

This is such a crazy animation...as they say in the trailer: "a love story so backwards it has to be told in reverse". It's traditional 2D, by Aaron Hughes and I won't say anything so you can be surprised ;-)

Esta é uma animação bem maluca...como dizem no trailer: "uma história de amor tão ao contrário que tem de ser contada de trás para frente". É 2D, feita por Aaron Hughes e não vou contar mais nada para não estragar a surpresa ;-)

The Necktie

Very creative and well-told story by Jean-François Lévesque, using puppet and hand-drawn animation. We follow Valentin, a young joyful man that starts working and over the years forgets what his dreams were, until, one day...

História muito criativa e bem contada por Jean-François Lévesque, usando animação de bonecos e 2D. Acompanhamos Valentin, um rapaz que começa a trabalhar e, ao longo dos anos se esquece de seus sonhos, até que um dia...

Distraxion

A really funny and appealing 3D animation of a tormented guy that's working long hours at the office. It's Mike Stern's final animation for the Animation Mentor course.

Animação 3D realmente engraçada sobre um rapaz que é atormentado enquanto faz hora extra no escritório. É a animação final que Mike Stern's fez para o curso do Animation Mentor.

Anchored

I really appreciated the way this story is told, the way the words are used, the style chosen to present it. Also, it doesn't look like 3D but it is, just with texturing and compositing that gives it a 2D feel similar to watercolor paintings.
It is Lindsey Olivares' senior thesis film made at Ringling Collegue of Art and Design.
I think it's interesting to mention there's a legend that says that who folds a thousand tsuru sees their wish come true.
