The Weekend Shortlist

This weekend will be dedicated to hard working computer graphic animators! These 4 impressive individual CGI shorts give us a peak at how much time and effort it takes to make our favorite animated films which we usually take for granted. Look for the attention to detail and embrace it.

Have a great weekend!

Kalki

by Ishan Shukla

In a world crippled by oil wars, economy & chaos, the tenth incarnation of God rises. As one of the ancient verse reads : “Whenever righteousness declines, and unrighteousness increases I make myself a body. In every age I come back. To deliver the holy. To destroy the sin of the sinner. To establish … righteousness.”

A beautiful & engaging animated short which seems more like a trailer to a full length feature, created by Ishan Shukla in a span of 3 months. Kalki has also won “best compositing & editing” award from CG Society.

Human Project

by Akin Göcmenli

Human Project is an organization, which use humans as “Crash Dummies”. In the center of the story is a mother who is in desperate need for money for her son…

This idea reminds me of our featured trailer this week ‘Sleepwalking‘, where in the near future people can sell their bodies to have them work manual labor while sleeping.
