We went to see some animated shorts, at a respectfully full theater across the street from SCAD. I’m struggling to remember A Dinner With Dad<\/em> (Johanna J. Lunn) and Creationism<\/em> (Janale Harris) and Lost In Phone<\/em> (Yongji Chen & Mengchen Zhao). We missed Unsolicited<\/em> (Meg Cook) and Don’t Croak<\/em> (Daun Kim), and came in late during Reboot<\/em> (Ellen Osborne), which was a beautiful vision of post-human Earth reminiscent of Handsome Family songs. The rest, in some order:<\/p>\n

–
\nAripi<\/em> (Dmitri Voloshin)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tribute to a fallen pilot friend, an astronaut experiences absolute chaos and ends up falling to earth, improvising a glider on the way down.<\/p>\n

–
\nShell<\/em> (Stella Rosen)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Creature and Alien go through the same disfiguring changes in reverse, feels Jim Woodring-inspired in a good way.<\/p>\n

–
\nTutorial > SKIP?<\/em> (Thy Vo & Sydney Seekford & Ryan Imm)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cute gaming parody, co-created by a former coworker.<\/p>\n

–
\nTiffany<\/em> (Christina Christie)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Memorable character design of a stained glass sculpture that becomes sentient without the coordination to navigate stairs, the sculptor’s daughter trying to prevent disaster while prepping the works for display.<\/p>\n

–
\nGodspeed<\/em> (Sunny Wai Yan Chan)<\/strong><\/p>\n

A tiny mother\/son airport story by another former coworker!<\/p>\n

–
\nOuija<\/em> (\u00e2\u20ac\u2039Ashley Young)<\/strong><\/p>\n

I cannot improve on the official description: “Two dumb kids explore the dangers of a Ouija board and come face to face with the Ouija demon, Zozo.”<\/p>\n

–
\nAnacronte<\/em> (Emiliano Sette & Ra\u00fal Koler)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The one with blank-faced humanity walking across a giant game board, malevolent reapers hurling spears at them from cliffs above, causing misfortune and death in their real lives – kind of cool imagery.<\/p>\n

–
\nSerpendipity<\/em> (Carlos Mejia & Kevin Barwick)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Medusa-haired guy and blind-without-her-glasses girl on a date… kind of a disaster of flailing, rubbery 3D characters, but the fun, fast-paced story makes up for it.<\/p>\n

–
\nBalance<\/em> (Barzan Rostami)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oh no, it’s the most heavy-handed visual metaphor of the decade.<\/p>\n

–
\nHawkeye Sucks<\/em> (Hunter Collins)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Love when movies feel overlong at 3 minutes. People laughed at least, but then people laugh at the pre-show ads at the multiplexes too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
