Runner Ups

The format was different than past years. Previously when registering you would pick out the day you wanted to watch the Electronic Theatre, and I *think* every showing was the same. This year there were like 80 shorts, and you could attend any of the screenings of the competition. Each one would show about 30 shorts, so I wasn't able to watch all of them, but afterwards you could vote for your favorite one. It's odd though, as the 80 shorts didn't seem to be uniformly distributed through the screenings. Anyway, these are some of the other ones I liked:

Oktapodi

I wouldn't be surprised if this one won.

Now Look What You Did - Cigarette


Mauvais Role


Chump and Clump
Official site here with trailer. I can't find a video the whole thing :(.

they're not all french. i think there's a very reputable school over there that specializes in computer animation. at least oktapodi came out of that school.

no, you would go to an art school if you wanted to be an animator.
