Awesome Short Films

Apocalypse Later, Surf Now

Apocalypse Later, Surf Now

YouTuber keef70 salvaged a surfing video shot on a foggy day and turned it into an even darker scene. The effects aren’t perfect, but the music – The Whales by The Mermen sets the right mood.

Electroshock

Electroshock

Buck discovers that he can slow the passage of time when he’s electrocuted. He decides to be a hero (naturally!), but quickly discovers that with great power comes great misadventures.

Operation White Widow

Operation White Widow

Operation White Widow is a CG short film by Jacek Mazur, who we believe has the imagination of a child and promising film-making skills. Great music and sound design by Tommy Zee as well.

Fade (Short Film)

Fade (Short Film)

There is some beautiful time lapse scenery and good editing in Fade, a short film by Joshua VP that took a week to film in and around Lake Powell. Plus, we never get tired of watching trailing stars.

The Master Cleanse

The Master Cleanse

(NSFW) Sometimes the people you hate the most are also the ones closest to your heart. A riotous (and raunchy) short film about a couple who go on a crash diet for physical and emotional cleansing.

I Met the Walrus

I Met the Walrus

An award-winning short film based on a 1969 guerrilla interview with John Lennon by Jerry Levitan, who was then only 14-years old. Audio of the entire interview is included in Levitan’s book.

Road Rage

Road Rage

How many times have you been stuck in traffic when some asshat starts laying on the horn, and you’ve got nowhere to go. Nick Khoo lives out our fantasies with his short and hilarious animation.

Boom Boom

Boom Boom

Two terrorists bump into each other and end up having an argument about who gets to fulfill his mission first. A dark and politically-incorrect satire written and directed by Larry and Terry Ziegelman.

Man Up

Man Up

Ed Barrett’s animated film tells the tale of a man who works at the top of a tall crane, and lives there to escape the world below. But his solitude is soon interrupted by never-ending vertical progress.

Morphology

Morphology

Peter Sluszka’s wonderful Morphology is a brief but fun claymation treat for the eyes; with these skills, we’d like to see something even more substantial. We love what happens after the fox.

SEED (Short Film)

SEED (Short Film)

A strange and sinister stop-motion film about an egg and an apple who build broadcast towers to compete for the attention of a lone transistor radio. Winner, Best Animated Short, Slamdance 2010.

A Very Arkham City Xmas

A Very Arkham City Xmas

Thugs are a staple ingredient of action scenes, moving targets and punching bags who exist only so heroes can show off. But as Blue Goggles Films reminds us, thugs are people too.

Covers

Covers

Like the musical ones we enjoy, architect/designer Luis Urculo created his own Covers, a clever short film in which iconic monuments in architecture are reinvented as models with everyday objects.

Protéigon

Protéigon

Animator Steven Briand (aka BURAYAN) created this trippy stop-motion short while doing a two-month internship at Partizan. We only wish all internships were this creative and productive.

Keloid (Trailer)

Keloid (Trailer)

Big Lazy Robot’s short film Keloid looks promising just based on its AI-focused premise. It doesn’t hurt to realize that this trailer contains no live footage and is composed entirely of CGI either.

Too Late

Too Late

For some reason, this clever little short film from director Rani Naamani reminds us of that scene in The Fly where Jeff Goldblum starts to turn into Brundlefly in the mirror. (Thanks, Heather!)

TimeScapes 4K

TimeScapes 4K

We think it looks gorgeous while viewing it on the tiny screen, but we are really stoked about the fact that this clip for Tom Lowe’s film TimeScapes was filmed and edited at 4K (4096×2304) resolution.

School Portrait

School Portrait

A douchebag tries to infect kids with his cynicism. This short film by Nick Scott is as straightforward as it gets, but it’s worth watching for one reason: that young girl and her invincible smile.

Great Films Fill Rooms

Great Films Fill Rooms

Sony jumps on the projection mapping bandwagon, but amps it up to 11 with these short clips shot in real-time, with no edits or post. Hit the link for part one, then watch parts two and three.

Das Tub

Das Tub

The crew of a German U-Boat struggle to survive deep below the sea, as they encounter unlikely and unusual obstacles in this amusing short film from students of New Zealand’s Media Design School.

Chorebot

Chorebot

A touching tale of a loyal dog, and his master robot. A reminder to humans: never let technology take over the important things in life. A short film by Greg Omelchuck and MoontowerVFX.

Address is Approximate

Address is Approximate

A lonely toy takes a journey through the great outdoors, thanks to a little help from his friends, his owner’s iMac, Google Street View, and a sense of imagination from The Theory.

End of a Scarer

End of a Scarer

A Hollywood movie monster tries to prove he’s still capable of scaring people in this era of over-the-top CGI monsters. A charming and clever animated short film by Chris O’Hara.
