Metroid: The Sky Calls

I don't know much about Metroid or Nintendo but this is a very cool short film:

Whadda week!!!

No posts immediately...I've been offline a bit, as well as busy beyond reasoning. Aside from the complexities of work, I've also moved residences this weekend and otherwise been too preoccupied to do much more than keep pushing to get things done with loads too large for the deadlines that must be met. Now....PC is back online, the calm is setting in a bit....still stuff to do though. More soon!

For now here's some awesome videos you should check out.

First: where art, transhumanism, shoggoths and body horror converge:

DIFFUSION from Kouhei Nakama on Vimeo.

Second: Singularity....a short film good enough to compete with a lot of full productions out there. Netflix should hire the makers of this film to do more like it.

SINGULARITY [short film] 2015 from The Bicycle Monarchy on Vimeo.

Next: this is a slightly NSFW stop-motion tale of undead pirates, and a man's love for a nude witch with an octopus hat....this should not be missed. I like to think this is all happening in some demiplane near the Shadowfell:

Wanderers - with the words of Carl Sagan

Wanderers is a short film about what our future in the solar system could look like. The narration is straight from Carl Sagan. The graphics derive from constructs and locations (both real and theorized) in our solar system, and it's really quite inspiring. Check it out:

(Yes I'm taking it easy on the blogging this week, so lots of short posts. If inspiration hits me, wonderful....but sometimes it's nice to just relax and not worry about it....)

The Great Martian War and Fortress

Another amazing find on Vimeo. I'd totally play in this setting:

Also worth showing off, Fortress, a one-man production that makes me wish this was a trailer to a very eerie post-apocalyptic movie or game:

Keep in mind that one guy did Fortress just for the hell of it (okay, his love of CGI).

Renegade

Renegade, which is a slightly NSFW video below, would honestly make a fantastic Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure, too. Look upon this three minute micro-movie and witness the life of a true fighting-man from Level zero to Hero.....

Keloid

Keloid is the best concept movie trailer I've ever seen....really hope this becomes a real film:

The Sensible Horror Film!

This one speaks for itself....very funny, and very true:

Telescope

What's it about? Not sure....the mystery is in enjoying the sort of very short tale a film short can weave, with a procession of visuals stiched together by a hint of narrative. Anyway...enjoy, it's pretty neat:

Voice Over

Vimeo constantly amazes me with the awesome stuff hosted there. Voice Over is a serious treat....enjoy:

CATZILLA

I check Vimeo every few weeks, but this time there are a lot of noteworthy films. For example...CATZILLA....

R'ha -a six minute space opera

More amazing stuff onVimeo...a six minute vignette of what I wish were a real movie:

Noon

Another awesome short on Vimeo, this one a post-apocalyptic snippet of an especially interesting future earth:

Play Dead

A new amazing short film on Vimeo. I don't know if Play Dead is a sign that the zombie genre has been completely tapped out for ideas, or if it's a sign that we've barely scratched the surface....but it is definitely worth watching. It's about 15 minutes long.

Important warning! This is still a zombie survival horror flick, no matter how canine the stars are. Expect the usual body count when it comes to zombie flicks, amongst both men and dogs. But trust me, if you're into zombie films, this is a must see.

La Bestia Scarlatta Con Sette Teste

I love Vimeo, the strangest stuff shows up there. Real quick, the following music video from Get Well Soon  is probably NSFW as there's some brief nudity and it's basically ...I think, anyway....a music video designed to look like a either a trailer for or highly abridged mashup of a Hammer Horror / Italian Western / Werid 70's Sci Fi action flick called "La Bestia Scarlatta Con Sette Teste," complete with cheesy special effects, weird bit characters, outlandish constumes and obligatory brief nudity. Check it out, if you dare...

The Future Forms of Life

Vimeo is where good things go to dwell and lurk in the subconscious. It is like nature's way of apologizing for Youtube.

When watching this below, I got the vague impression this might have been a tiny look into what some of the creatures of the Dreamlands might look like, had Lovecraft been a writer in this century instead of the last.

Order Up

Vimeo is so cool. Here's another entertaining short, "Order Up:"

If David Lynch had directed Toy Story...

...We would have Little Quentin:

Starcadian

I like this video and its nice, retro quality. Fun stuff! The music is good too.

Rest

This is misattributed as a zombie tale, when it's really a sort of ghost story/revenant's journey but well worth watching....once again, Vimeo proves to be the place for interesting and exotic films:

The Shrine / An Argument by Sean Pecknold

I'll be honest, I my powers of interpretation are failing me on this one, but it is a fine example of why Vimeo is so awesome. Anyway, the best I can analogize this video to is the sort of disturbing psychotropic experience you might get after smoking a bit of the salv divinorum. Also, the music is great:
