gingerinthesky by Martin Samways
3D animated music video for my mate’s techno song (Novo cain on Bandcamp). Frenetic and datamoshed visuals in spired by the likes of lemmings, scary old 3D lighting engines and whumpy machinimas.

To Gaza with Love by Lluis Fuzzhound
Scruffy and the flower are battered by wind, rain and fire.
Waste by Duncan Poulton
‘Waste’ is a music video for the band Uncanny Valley Girls. Scanned images are tossed across the screen, ani mating papery static images through the interface of the screen. These are combined with ropey 80’s pixel anima tion sections from an early computer advert.
A Soft Reminder by Stefania Tesio
A Soft Reminder is a reminder of the beauty in being alone. Run, jump, dance—feel free. Don’t dwell on the past. There are so many beautiful flowers around you. I know that sometimes it’s hard not to find someone, but maybe you can frolic and have fun with yourself.

A curious clay blob named Scoot must think outside the box in order to make his aerial dreams come true

PPP Mash Up by People Places Party
A mashup of a bunch of the latest People Places Party loops and shorts
Imagine the Audience Naked by Reuben Underwood
Mixed media animation that follows funk band Grog Machine as they walk out into the spotlight. They may have only just switched on their amps and kicked on their guitar pedals but something is definitely wrong.
Falafel Sundays by Fahim Arif Motahar
The short is about a connection to a time, food and a person who serves it. It revolves around fleeting connections and tiny interactions, that become a part of our nostalgic past.
The Late Date by Sanny Galadima
A guy running late for his date, and breaks through any thing in his way.
Tenderstem by Lina Kalcheva
A commissioned parody commercial for tenderstem broccoli – the undeniably superior (and obviously sexier) upgrade to boring old basic broccoli.
Show Your Working by Isolda Milenkovich
A tongue-in-cheek exploration of the time-consuming nature of animation.
Cavities by Sugar Cavaties
With no spoken dialogue, CAVITIES uses gesture, tex ture, and sound to tell a silent story that sticks with you like a sour aftertaste. Visually rich and emotionally eerie, it’s a striking debut that invites viewers into a dreamlike world that’s as enticing as it is unhinged.
Pontiac G6 - Debt Quest by Billy Budgen
When your only tool is a magical staff that summons mid sized US manufactured automobiles, every problem starts to look like a parking space.
Contraband by Faraz Ghorbanpour
What a person carries with them is how they are judged, and regardless of what a person does, they will be judged the same.
