F5 RE:PLAY Sneak Peek

Posted in: Experimental, f5, General, trailer

For the F5 RE:PLAY Film Festival, we invited some of our favorite studios and directors to create original works around the themes of rebirth, rejuvenation and regrowth. No client demands, no logos—and no money. Just creativity for creativity’s sake. Pure and simple.

The result is a slate of quirky, innovative, funny, moving and diverse films that will debut during F5 on April 16th and 17th. Check out the trailer above and then join us at Roseland Ballroom as we raise our drinks to the RE:PLAY directors:

  • Holbrooks
  • Pistachios
  • Buck
  • Crush
  • Imaginary Forces
  • LaFlama
  • Ubik
  • Superfad
  • Digital Kitchen
  • Chris Hewitt and James Cambourne
  • Ryan Rothermel & Sean Pecknold
  • Sehsucht
  • Shilo

Special thanks to David Kamp for supplying music in the RE:PLAY trailer. And big ups to Connor Swegle for producing the RE:PLAY film festival with us.

David O’Reilly: Please Say Something

Posted in: character animation, Experimental, General, ireland, narrative, short film

If you keep tabs on our Quickies, you saw fans of David O’Reilly’s “Please Say Something” pleading with us for a more detailed look at his amazing short film.

pss

Motionographer community, you’re right. It’s a brilliant piece of art, and we’re glad to hoist it up and interview the man himself.

Unlike Octocat (O’Reilly’s output under a teenage pseudonym), Please Say Something is a sinister story of love. Characters shuffle between states of consciousness, explore O’Reilly’s common theme of absent love, and live in a crudely rendered world that feels simultaneously empty and lush.

Doing what other people don’t is how O’Reilly rolls. Narrative risk-taking, boldness in aesthetic simplification, and self-imposed creative rules lead to epic creation. PSS is strange, insanely original, and some of the most authentic storytelling you’ll ever see.
