Shaky White Guys Making Friends

Shaky White Guys Making Friends

Created by Erik Eliason

One day, Barcelona-based Swedish filmmaker Erik Eliason received a 38 pistol, designed to fire SOS-rockets from boats, and a box of 9mm blanks. The weapon made him curious about the mixing of real gunfire and smoke with rotoscoped actions. "Would the effect be as cool as I thought?" We thought so.

This slick, hallucinogenic short featuring angry figure-drawings, bloody gunshots, and a hip soundtrack came together after Eliason played around with After Effects and Photoshop. "I had ideas I was burning to realize before I got my first computer," says the self-taught filmmaker. "Most of my tech-knowledge is earned by self-studying softwares and finding solutions to mirror my ideas."

Evasion

Created by Brian and Nick Whitmire

Twenty-three-year-old twin brothers Brian and Nick Whitmire both work as animators for high-end visual effects and animation houses in Los Angeles, TigarHare and Blur Studios. Their day jobs proved invaluable to the making of "Evasion," a slick and thrilling, CG sci-fi 1-minute short, which follows a group of fleeing figures trying to escape from some nasty, little dog-shaped robots. "There was no budget, just our spare time and the kindness of TigarHare to let us use their render farm," says Nick, who says the project took about six months to complete from storyboards to final version, using apps 3ds Max and Vray for lighting.
