Sunshine

“Sunshine is a short documentary by commercial director Doug Nichol. It’s a portrait of John Benet, a veteran producer reflecting on his career and current place selling McDonald’s in Shanghai. There’s no motion graphics here, but there’s a lot to think about for those of us working in advertising.

“You go from job to job to job…years pass… I’ve been freelance for twenty-two years. There probably isn’t a month that’s gone by that I haven’t worried about the next job. I mean, we’re all just chasing our security, but then decades go by…”

“I’m doing two things… I enjoy the work, but I’m also doing something else. And sometimes I’m not completely aware of what that is.

Nowhere Near Here

‘Nowhere Near Here’ is a stop motion animation that uses a combination of light with stencils and long exposure photography to tell the story of a dog running around the city at night, doing whatever a dog does. The animation was first exhibited at the The Herbert, in Coventry, on the 7th October 2010.

A little long and over drawn out, but still a really nice short film.

Ok if you like good cinematography check this short film out. Some really simple but nicely done shots. I’m not sure if i like the one shot with the white kid in the sun spot but a pretty cool effect overall…i think i might like it actually tho it totally blocks out his face :/

Great zombie short. forgot all about this one.
