For the next two days, we will be at Vidfest 2006 covering the event for the TAXI Design Network out of Singapore. Our review should be posted on their site later next week but in the meantime, we’ll be posting a few photos and features starting with these links to some of the featured work at last night’s screening:
Backbone Medley
Directed by Pius Jung-Kit Chan.
An entertaining short that takes you through the everyday obstacles and triumphs of city living. From jogging in the park to a car breaking down in traffic, this innovative animation using 2d pencil drawings in a 3d space brings to life the overlooked dramas of daily life.
We are Wolves – Little Birds
Directed by Yan Giroux, Mathieu Jacques
Works in visual arts from lead singer Alex Ortiz inspired the latest music video of We are Wolves, an electro-punk trio from Montreal. The production house ALT used only simple animation techniques to create a twisted visual atmosphere, modern and retro, in order to fit the unique image of the band.
Fifa Street 2
Directed by Jon West
Combining both real-life and CG footage of the world’s greatest professional and street soccer players, Jon West has captured the energy, showmanship, and skills that players love to exhibit when not confined by the coach’s tactics. This video demonstrates the outrageous moves and fun-loving attitude of the videogame
Changes
Directed by Lorcan Finnegan
Two caterpillars embark on a journey of change, but will they feel the same way when they emerge from their chrysalis?
Crazy Late
Directed by Zach Lipovsky
Jimmy Smith (Peter Benson) wakes up to find himself Crazy Late for his own wedding. Armed only with adrenaline, his best man Travis (Ben Ayres), and sheer determination, Jimmy has mere minutes to arrive at the ceremony.
Rocketmen vs. Robots Episode 3
Directed by David T. Krupicz
The rocketmen pursue the nefarious Dr. Moracle to the Garbage planet, where they have to stop him from building a cyborg army.
