The story of A Good Wife is fairly well summarized by its ironic title. What remains is a tribute to mid-century modern aesthetics and an eerie amount of stillness. W. Scott Forbes made the film while attending Sheridan College. The film doesn’t necessarily succeed in wringing out the emotions suggested by its sad story and musical cues, but Forbes’ approach is refreshing for a student film and a worthy experiment. 11 Comments » posted in Shorts, Student, Canada, Sheridan College, W.

It’s rare to browse through someone’s on-line animation videos and enjoy everything they’ve produced. That’s the happy feeling I experienced watching the work of French animator Paul Cabon. In fact, it was too difficult to choose a single piece of his to share so I’ve included three more of his films after the jump. His work is packed with fresh visual concepts coupled with strong control of color and shape and a keen sense of humor. His animation of human figures moves in an almost experimental fashion, which is to say it doesn’t follow the rules of conventional character animation but fits perfectly with the rest of his style. Cabon graduated from the French animation school La Poudrière a couple years back.

Lipsmackers by Beercan Rd. is a 2011 thesis film produced at the School of Visual Arts by Sachio Cook. The film has a quirky tone, stylishly mixing the mundane real world with fantastical elements. Some of the storytelling lacks clarity, but the overall effect (as well as the artwork) is charming. According to her LinkedIn page, Sachio works at Titmouse as an assistant animator. I hope she continues making independent films, too. 7 Comments » posted in Shorts, Student, Sachio Cook, SVA

Harmony Bouchard, Raphael Cenzi, Joakim Riedinger and Andy Le Cocq, students at France’s ESMA School of the Arts (Ecole Supérieure des Métiers Artistiques), wanted to make a film dealing with racism “through the music in New York of the 30s”. Swing of Change is that film: 8 Comments » posted in CGI, Student, Andy Le Cocq, ESMA, France, Harmony Bouchard, Joakim Riedinger, Raphael Cenzi

If drawings of cartoon people in the nude is NSFW – then Burrow by Frederico Gutierrez is “Not Safe For Work”. This is Gutierrez’ graduation film from the Vancouver Film School Classical Animation program. I have no idea what its about – but I enjoyed its surreal sensibility. 7 Comments » posted in Student, Frederico Gutierrez

Electroshock feels like feature film condensed into 8-and-a-half-minutes. Directed by five students (Hugo Jackson, Pascal Chandelier, Valentin Michel, Bastien Morteleque and Elliot Maren) at France’s ESMA School of the Arts (Ecole Supérieure des Métiers Artistiques), it’s a nicely paced spoof of superhero/geek culture. 20 Comments » posted in Student, ESMA
