This is the amazing Billy Marks and his one true skill of bouncing ping balls into cups. It sounds like it's lame but I have to give him snaps for devising increasingly difficult tricks and making it entertaining. A good rousing soundtrack never hurt things either.

Here's the trailer for Caché ('Hidden' in English). This French film by director Michael Haneke has had such critical acclaim that you simply must try to find it on DVD and check it out. From what I've read the crux of the whole film comes down to the last 3 seconds of the film. I admit I haven't been able to find Caché at the local Blockbuster yet but it's definitely on my list of films to watch out for.

'SWIM' is an award winning animated short from director Sil van der Woerd. It's a great blend of CG environments and composited real life actors, that is mixed together with a melodic and ethereal soundtrack. Together these elements become a dreamlike sequence that transports the viewer to a different place. Also included is the accompanying 'Making Of' clip.

Making of the animated short, 'SWIM'. Particularly if you have an interest in compositing then this is a tasty little clip of his production techniques. I'm really glad he decided to show us how the real actors were posed for the floating/swimming sequence towards the end. They have a fluid weightlessness to them.

Thanks go to Didn't You Hear? for the source.

This short film was the winner of the BEST ANIMATED SHORT in 1991. It pioneered the concept of having the animator fight with the animation that has just recently been duplicated very successfully . It's interesting to see good old fashioned line art that's drawn with pencils. When children today have grown up they will probably never see this type of animation.
