Blind Spot: A Hold-Up Gone Terribly Wrong

Blind Spot is an award-winning, animated three-minute short dark comedy created by Cécile Dubois-Herry, along with a group of her fellow students at Gobelins, l’Ecole de l’Image, Paris.  In the film, a clumsy robber enters a small convenience store to pull off a hold-up, while an elderly grandmother with very poor eyesight is doing her shopping.  Suddenly, everything goes horribly wrong.  Peripheral vision is everything in this animation, as the store’s surveillance camera doesn’t quite tell the story of what really happened in the convenience store.  The technical and artistic strengths of the film’s creators all dovetail brilliantly, which makes for a tightly packed narrative that’s full of detail and comedic irony.

Mindtrip: The Strange Adventures of a Curious Brain

Mindtrip is an amusing, but truly demented three-minute animated short film by the Spanish filmmaker dmente.  The film could be viewed as the filmmaker’s visual response to questions about the nature of inspiration and/or creativity.  At any rate, Mindtrip is a darkly humorous, amazing, mind-tripping digital collage.
