| How about these suckers? Wait. Wrong kinda shorts. So, there is an awful lot of interesting anime shorts and movies, but what about the other stuff? That dreaded non-anime stuff? Well, I'm not into discriminating... even if this is an anime/manga site. So! What we have here is a thread to share videos/titles/links to shorts that you think the people in this club would enjoy. You can post videos here directly or you can link to them, but if you do put them here just have them inside a spoiler tag with the title outside of it. That way the thread is easy to go through. Feel free to discuss the videos/links/titles here as well. I don't think I have any other specifics about posting things here, if I think of something I'll add it later. So right now, there's just the spoiler tag thing. And without further adieu.... Tir Nan Og Sebastien's Voodoo The Animator Short from a movie whose title escapes me right now And that's all I have.... for now. Enjoy and let me know what you think! |

| Yeah nice one I will put some up here myself soon - only I will wait till MAL settles down |
Shameless plug signature The Shorts Club  |
| I'll be dropping some names in case someone is interested, no links since they are fairly easy to find around. All are animation. Anything by Don Hertzfeldt Quay Brothers The Comb Jan Svankmajer Dimensions of Dialogue Darkness/Light/Darkness Norman McLaren Begone Dull Care A Phantasy Synchromy Neighbours Mosaic Single titles A Légy Das Rad More The Dot and the Line: A Romance in Lower Mathematics |
| In Riemann, Hilbert or in Banach space Let superscripts and subscripts go their ways Our asymptotes no longer out of phase, We shall encounter, counting, face to face. |
| I've just come from reading through the thread posts of The Stop-Motion Animation Appreciation Society and my feelings for both that club and this thread go hand in hand. I've been looking for a place to share with other anime fans works of a similar nature, often of a stop-motion, shadow/silhouette or puppetry varietal. Works such as Hedgehog in the Fog (Yuri Norstein), The Man Who Planted Trees (Frédéric Back), The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello (Australian; 3d Films Pty Ltd.), My Green Crocodile (Vadim Kurchevsky), or those of Jan Švankmajer. Where would one post exchanges and ideas about animated short films from countries other than Japan or Korea? Is there a thread for that yet or would it be better to post some ideas and suggestions in this post? |

| Tír na nÓg is one of my favourite short animations! Thanks so much for including it! Also a big fan of the Brothers Quay, so it's nice to see them included as well! I've been compiling a list of shorts on YT for awhile now and here are some of my other favourites: Auckland [New Zealand] animation director, Mardo El-Noor's masterpiece, Every Moment is a Miracle, premiered at the New Zealand International Film Festival in 2011. This work is mostly landscapes and reminded me of the works of Iblard Jikan and those by Imperial Boy. Red (2010) - Columbian take on a famous fairy tale/horror story by Jorge Jaramillo and Carlo Guillot. Cute story, very nice. Volgens de Vogels ("According to Birds" 2008, Netherlands) is a collaboration of sublime hand drawn pencils etchings of birds by Dutch illustrator Linde Faas. If you haven't see this before, I highly recommend it as the skill is just wonderful! Franck Dion's L'inventaire Fantôme (Phantom Inventory - 2004, French.) is a fantastic display of spookiness and clever animation. Milovan Circus by Belgium animation director Gerlando Infuso tells the story of Iakov, a mime and once the star of the Milovan Circus as he reminisces of long past rose coloured days. The puppetry and animation at work in this piece is nothing short of breath-taking. While I'm on a Francophone kick, I want to mention Joanna Lurie, who is best known for her awarding winning short film: The silence beneath the bark / le silence sous l'écorce: Argine - Julia Siméon A short film by French animator Julia Siméon whose look reminded me a great deal of Coraline, but with better textures. The story is simple, but full of whimsy. The last two of my favourites are certainly the most famous of the lot, I suspect. The first, Alma, was produced by ex-Pixar animator Rodrigo Blaas. this 2009 Spanish short film has a very smooth animation style and a pretty creepy story. In the second, Slimtime, is the Supinfocom (in Arles, France) grad film by Bertrand Avril, Pierre Chomarat, David Dangin and Thea Matland. The story is fun, but will likely piss someone off. I thought it was funny and charming though. |
