Pixar has managed to do it again; creating another successful animated short film. Kiwi, appears to one of the more simple short films created by Pixar however is just as effective. This short film captivates the Kiwi, a flight-less bird trying to fly and the determination this bird has to reach the goal.
Short Film - Mankind Is No Island
I loved this short film. Mankind Is No Island was shot completely on a mobile phone. The film was based on the photos and footage shot on the streets of New York and Sydney. The director used pictures of words to tell a story. This concept, combined with effective music established a very effective movie and portrayed the message that the director was trying to. The director was capturing the less fortunate in both cities and portrayed that even though the two cities were half a world away from each other the characteristics were very alike. This short film won the 2008 Tropfest Short Film Competition. I think this movie was effective because it was such an emotionally charged clip, but displayed in such a simple way.
Short Film - Marry Me
The short film Marry Me, was entered in the Tropfest Short Film Competition. Marry Me is the timeless tail of girl liking boy, boy liking his toys and girl feeling rejected. This short film is a simple but effective piece. The film appears as if it would be have cost effective in production. It appears as if it was shot in the same location, with one video camera. Though the piece portrayed the intended story effectively, I personally found the movie to be a little dull and was dragged on. The same story could have been portrayed in a much shorter timeframe and still would be been successful.
