A wonderful, technically impressive short film with a great soundtrack that I enjoyed more than any of the Oscar-nominated shorts from this year, including Oscar-winner Logorama. Keep an eye on this Ian Worrel kid.

From Motionographer.

This is for the ladies… Slick-bodied gents croon and melt female hearts to the tune of Up Where We Belong.

Fleggaard, a German store, has gotten in trouble by women’s rights groups for their controversial ads featuring naked women (sorry boys, I’m not even going to link it). This shifts the balance of power back to the ladies, right?

Maybe. It’s an ad for laundry detergent. From ettf.

Some mysteries are never meant to be solved. Unless you’re the type that welcomes destructive Ostrich-riding businessmen into your home.

You’ve seen Logorama, last night’s winner of the Oscar in this category… now here are the rest of the Oscar nominees for Animated Short Film (w/the exception of  Wallace and Gromit). Engaging and fun and all under 8 minutes, they’re worth it for the animation alone. Stolen from idsgn.

The Lady and the Reaper

Sleeping Beauty

French Roast

Rube Goldberg is channeled in this incredible video from a band getting more attention for their videos than their music.  Kind of like R.Kelly, who went from “the guy who did I Believe I Can Fly” to  “the guy who peed on an underage girl.”

How did this video get made (the OK Go one, not the R. Kelly one)? Four total months, 60 people, and 60 takes over two days.  Wired.com has the scoop.

BONUS: The other OK Go video for the same song. Also great, but not quite on the same level.

An award-winning short film that channels a darker Pixar. Oh, and it’s done by students.
