I found this Independent Short Film recently, liked the many sight gags in quick succession, and decided to share it.

This isn’t the first post-it note stop motion short film I’ve seen, but it’s definitely one of the better ones.

I can definitely relate to the message. What do you think?

I’ve been sitting on this Independent Short Film for a while, hoping to contact the filmmaker, but no luck so far.  It’s been long enough, and I have to keep you entertained.

This is really well done, and I hope you like it.

This independent short film follows a young girl named Alma as she wanders into a toy store one winter day. Alma means “spirit” in Spanish.  Do you suppose there is a meaning behind why it was chosen as the name of the girl?

This stop motion Independent Short Film is most impressive.  The editing was done primarily in-camera, which takes a lot of effort to get right.  The end result is both playful and entertaining.

This Independent Short Film was recently brought to my attention, and while I’ve seen a few similar short films, (done with spraypaint, for example) I liked that this was done with cardboard cutouts.  I especially loved the soundtrack, and I really enjoy anything bizzare or surreal, so I just had to put it up here.  Happy viewing!

I wonder which of these two Independent Short Films was made first.

I find them to be remarkably similar.

First, Rent-A-Person.  Some of you might notice that this film is the prequel to another Independent Short Film which I posted, Validation, which is still quite popular and getting passed around very frequently.  Seriously, if you haven’t seen Validation yet, you owe it to yourself to watch it here.  Rent-A-Person and Validation share one overlapping scene, which in my opinion should have been the same footage in both movies.  In the scene from Rent-A-Person, actor TJ Thyne (Something’s Gotta Give, Heartbreakers, What Women Want, Erin Brokovich) is clean shaven, whereas in the same scene in Validation (filmed three years later), he has a beard.  See for yourself:

Next, there’s the simplistic animated Independent Short Film, Lavatory Love Story (I’m finding a lot of interesting animations lately, especially stop-motion.) which is thematically similar to Rent-A-Person.  Watch below:

What are your thoughts?

Oh, and by the way, I’d be ecstatic if you would social bookmark any posts that you like, subscribe via RSS, or forward links to your friends.  Also, if you know of any great Independent Short Films (or short film producers) feel obliged to connect me with them.  Thanks!

First a preface, and then a disclaimer:

I’d like to begin by saying that I have very strong personal objections to creating a music video and slapping the name “short film” onto it.  I’ve seen it done numerous times and it really irritates me.

That said, I’ve decided (perhaps subjectively) that the short film in this post is, in fact, an Independent Short Film and not a music video.  Here’s why:  The film was made by a film student, not the artist.  Although the story has its origin in the lyrics, the independent musician had nothing to do with the production of this short film.

And now the disclaimer:
This Independent Short Film will probably offend some viewers.  The lyrics of the song contain words which many find to be inappropriate.  They also describe a scene of violence and abuse, which in the short film, although animated, is nonetheless disturbing.  However, I found the film to be powerfully moving, and the social and spiritual messages conveyed are what compelled me to post it here.  I do hope that you’ll watch it, but be advised that it is not suitable for everyone.

This independent short film was more than I expected, honestly.  I’m constantly surprised by the ideas people have, especially for animated short films.

What do you think?
