The Dark Knight (kids version)
If these kids seriously made this, that is impressive. So much fun.
Steven Spielberg - Amblin’ (1968)
Spielberg’s first 35mm film. From Binary Bonsai:
Spielberg himself doesn’t think much of the film, calling it “a great Pepsi commercial” with as much soul and content as a piece of driftwood.”, which would explain why it hasn’t seen commercial release.
Like many first films by filmmakers, it is largely silent. And shallow but in a very cute way. How can you not love these people.
If this was made by anyone else, I probably would not have made it to the end but…

I wish all action movie trailers were this much fun. And have you ever seen a trailer to have sequels, well this one does.
William Lamson abstracts
I love this. Strong concept, simple but truthful execution.
Duel - The best ice cold western.
Emerge - The smallness of fame.
William Tell - Modern telling of the classic tale.
Vital Capacity - The struggle to maintain dreams.
Arrow Game - I want to play this game, however unsatisfying.
Cornelius: Omstart
At times, this beautiful video feels like a advanced 3D school project in terms of its minimalist shapes and color. However, looking past those exteriors, you are confronted with some complex and though provoking ideas.
Incredible!
Saw it a little while back, amazing that I could forget about it. Glad I found it again.
p.s. After blogging at Ticklebooth for almost two years, I still don’t have a good way of collecting bookmarks.
Gone in a Flash
Beautiful cinematography. The HD camera & 35mm lens combo predictably create a striking picture. Widescreen cinema loves a subject in the middle and there is plenty of that in this short, especially effective when the subject looks directly in camera. The story is cute, not sure if I would like it if it were shot differently.

MGMT - Time To Pretend
On first viewing, I reveled in the absolute freedom of the cheesy graphics. On second viewing, I paid attention to the lyrics and that blew me away. The yearning of adventure and mythology is so well captured in both the music and video. This is a great video. One of the year’s best, no doubt.
Bullet Proof Vest
The black & white cinematography beautifully highlights the harsh realities of a “lost generation.” As always, when you let kids ramble on, you get the most truthful assessment of what a situation feels like. This is a classic.
Kitchen diaries
Cook yourself some delicious music.
Alphabeat Boyfriend
Cute, playful video. Great example of what you can do without a budget.
The cutest evil eye
I wonder how he learned the trick in the first place.
Peter Jackson’s Bad Taste
The Lord of the Rings director first feature back in 1987 is available online.
An alien prevention group called Alien Investigation and Defence Service’ - A.I.D.S(!)¸ wage war on aliens that have come to earth to supply an intergalactic fast food chain with a new dish - human flesh. They meet many challenges and many aliens (who can easily be distinguished by the blue oxford shirts they all wear) along their quest of stopping the invaders. It is very difficult to believe that Peter Jackson (as in Peter ”Lord of the Rings” Jackson) had anything to do with this movie. But¸ not only did he direct this home-grown funny¸ he played the main character - derek¸ who spends the majority of the movie losing pieces of his brain out of a wound in the back of his skull. This movie has a certain monty python meets my 2nd grade class clown kind of feel. Except without the class or the monty python part. And I mean that¸ as a compliment.
