I was absolutely floored for the six minutes that I spent viewing "The Bead Game". Using nothing more than cheap decorative beads, we are given a short history on the development of the animal side of nature. The end of "The Bead Game" was powerful statement on how animalistic and brutal humans are toward one another. In the twenty-five years since this short film was made, humans have advanced their intelligence in the areas of weaponry, brutality, and violence. It seems the most obvious and significant advance has been the marketing of mass media that seems to glorify violence. "The Bead Game" stands a sort of a testament and a warning that humanity is on a doomed path if we continue forth in the areas of war and destruction. I give this animated masterpiece a 10 out of 10! PS: There are laws of war and revolution. One is the law of unintented consequences. You have to bevery careful when you come upon a proverbial Pandora's Box. Once you choose that open that box, you don't completely expect every aftershock that will be wrought from it and it will take a very long time to overcome them
This is a really interesting film about how large the universe is and how powers of ten become so drastically distant. It starts out by showing a couple at a picnic in Chicago. It then shows an overhead shot a meter up of the man lying down on the picnic blanket. It then proceeds to zoom out by increasing the distance by a power of ten every ten seconds; 10 to the first meters, 10 to the second meters, 10 to the third meters, and so on. Before long the viewer is above the earth, then the solar system, then the galaxy, then much of the visible universe. The viewer is projected back forward by decreasing the powers of ten every two seconds. After a while the picnic scene is displayed again, but it doesn't stop there. The view returns to the regular speed and goes into the negative powers; ten to the negative first meter, ten to the negative second meter, and so on. The viewer is zoomed into the man's hand, and ends up zooming into a single proton in an atom.

本片用极其简朴的线条描绘了一个奇幻而又夹杂着黑色幽默的故事。 圣诞节前夕,一位拾荒老人在垃圾池边上捡到一个盒子,捡回后经过自己的精心打扮,幻想着节日到来之际自己所需要的礼物。而不幸的是,天气越来越寒冷,老人不得不躲进盒子里御寒。最终,星星进入了盒子里,带走了老人的灵魂。本片充满盎然童心、以无限好奇观察着这彷如万花筒般的世界,而老人最终在盒子中逝世,无疑又给人淡淡的忧伤。

A disturbing cinematic opera from Melbourne film-maker, Michael Lee, presenting an intense emotional collage of film clips, original footage and complex object animation, structured loosely in the form of a Catholic Mass, to communicate the film-maker’s traumatic Catholic experience. The film is intended in part as ‘anti-imagery’ in response to the iconography of Catholicism.
《钟人》(Clock Man)在外网是很著名的失传媒体 (Lost Media),历经五年后终于得以找回。 本动画原名为《萨莉的故事》 (O paradivé Sally),是捷克斯诺伐克的一部儿童教育类动画,后出口至美国尼克儿童频道的《风车》节目播出,因一位外网博主在论坛上发布的对这部作品的讨论而兴起过一波寻找浪潮,成为了著名的失传媒体 本片有捷克语原版和英语配音版本,两个版本的剧情几乎是截然不同,这边很推荐友友们两个版本都看一下,也能知道明明是相同的画面,怎么做到通过配音而使剧情完全不同的。 ——枳染

A particularly creative example of the pinscreen animation technique, this film is about an artist who steps inside his painting and wanders about in a landscape peopled with symbols that trigger unexpected associations. Film without words.
A short film which follows two ducks and a robot who spend their day at an amusement park.
フェナキストスコープ(英: Phenakistoscope)またはフェナキスティスコープ(英: Phenakistiscope)は、回転のぞき絵(ゾートロープ)に先駆けて登場した初期のアニメーション機器。1831年、ベルギーのジョゼフ・プラトーとオーストリアのジーモン・フォン・シュタンプフェルがほぼ同時に発明した。日本語では「おどろき盤」という呼称もある。これは、1970年代に日本でフェナキストスコープを復元した古川タクが、「驚き盤」として命名したものとされている。
"Every living thing that shares the planet with us has had to adapt and evolve over millions of years. Every flower, every insect, every animal is a miracle waiting to be discovered, a marvel to be respected and loved. But we like to replace them with our own inventions, served up by the magicians of advertising, the promoters of progress and over-consumption. Unfortunately, these inventions are outmoded all too quickly. They break down, often taking with them that which is essential to our lives and happiness, the elements needed to sustain the real miracles accomplished by nature."
The utopian vision of a lunar spacecraft voyage that will affect life on Earth.
John Whitney’s pioneering work of computer animation, Arabesque, from 1975. This flowing, abstract short film is a wonder to behold, a work of art. Like many other computer graphics pioneers, this film suggests roots in psychedelics and spiritual quests as much as engineering and mathematics. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2007.
利用线和面趋向会合的视错觉原理,以现实的手法在两维的平面上刻画三维物体的艺术,被称作“透视画法”,它提供了一个对物体或景色的三维观察视角。 Georges Schwizgebel讲述何为“透视画法(Perspectives)”,用的却是一段约两分钟的影像和一段流畅配乐。舞台上将众多焦点集于一身的女模特,从其它的视角去看,有可能是一个正在运动的男人或奔跑的猛兽形象,此物与彼物可以是同一个物体,不过观众观看的角度有异而已。
