I'm reminded of a quote by Terry Pratchett:  "She could see things that were really there. (Which is much harder than seeing things that aren't there. Everyone does that.)" "How much do we really want others to know about us and what do we want to know about them? A mockumentary about the aftermath of a disaster causing everyone to loose their perception filters."

While this is just barely furry I really wanted to share this short as It's probably the first Pinscreen animated film in many years. The Pinscreen is one of those styles of animation that is VERY crazy and I personally think one of the most difficult forms of animation out there. A brief history of Alexandre Alexeieff [1] and Claire Parker [2]'s Pinscreen can be found in this short 1973 film on the subject: https://youtu.be/N4u-C8kyUeA This form of animation lends itself to very ethereal stream of consciousness sorts of films. "Film directed on Spruce, pinscreen by Alexandre Alexeïef and Claire Parker, during a research and development residency organized by the CNC. Many thanks to Jean-Baptiste Garnero, Sophie Le Tétour and Nathanaël Bergèse, and Chaïtane Conversat and Sophie Roze. And a special thanks to Michèle Lemieux!"

Here is a semi disturbing short made for GitHub universe Conference [1] involving GitHub [2]'s mascot Mona the Octocat [3]. "An invention gone wrong splits Mona the Octocat into her component parts and it's up to her robot assistant, Hubot, to put her back together..."

Note: There are subtitles if you turn CC on, There doesn't appear to be a way to force it. The Hungarian Institute of Film Science has recently posted a bunch of older animated shorts newly remasterd and I thought I would share one while they are still available. I present to you the very silly Variations on a Dragon. "Seven variations on the traditional story of fairy tales when the dragon kidnaps the royal - but this time, things are not formed according to the paper form." UPDATE: They took the film down so I updated this with another location. If they ever turn the video back on here is the original location: https://vimeo.com/305753980 Also a translation: Ladies and gentlemen, who wouldn't remember that once upon a time there was a beautiful princess. And one day the evil dragon kidnapped the princess. Of course we all remember... And the noble-hearted knight... came, saw, and won. He took the beautiful princess home, their wedding banquet was a festive event famed across the empire, and they lived happily hereafter. That is how the fable ends. But is that the only way the fable could be told? What if this is not the way it ended? Let us try a couple of new versions. VARIATIONS ON A DRAGON 1. Stark Reality 2. Sports Passion Hello... 3. Unexpected 4. A True Friend 5. The Two Scallybag Arthur, please... The horse is soaking. 6. The Weaker Sex 7. Help..! I won! The End

Here's a National Film-board of Canada short that's currently nominated for an Oscar this year. "Dealing with what comes naturally isn’t easy, especially for animals. In Animal Behaviour, the latest animated short from the Oscar®-winning team of Alison Snowden and David Fine (Bob’s Birthday), five animals meet regularly to discuss their inner angst in a group therapy session led by Dr. Clement, a canine psychotherapist. The group includes Lorraine, a leech who suffers from separation anxiety; Cheryl, a praying mantis who can’t seem to keep a man; Todd, a pig with an eating disorder; Jeffrey, a bird with guilt issues; and Linda, an obsessive-compulsive cat."

Lets end off 2018 with a wonderful short film by Tyler Purcell of a furry wedding shot on super 16mm film. Man, All that nice film grain. "As part of my documentary about artists in the Furry Fandom, two of our lead characters were getting married at convention in Seattle. Off we went to not only capture the convention, but also the wedding as part of my new documentary. #furrydoc Shot on my Aaton XTR Prod with Zeiss 12-120 zoom, 9.5mm Optar and 24mm Rokinon Xeen. Most of the film was shot with a Tiffen Steadicam A30, which worked well, but difficult to balance for the camera in a full build. Film processed and prepped for telecine at Fotokem. The transfer was done on a Spirit 2k datacine with a flat transfer. Converted the DPX files to Pro Res 4444 in DaVinci with a base pass. Then that file was used for the edit since the DPX files don't playback in real time well. The final output is a 2048x1152 (16x9) Pro Res HQ file with a slight zoom on all the clips to fill the 1.75:1 aspect ratio output format so there are no black bars on the side. That exact file was then uploaded to Vimeo."
