<a href="http://vimeo.com/92022684">OMEGA</a> - <a href="http://www.omegastopmotion.com/">A Stop Motion Animated Short</a>. "The mechanical life form Ohm inhabits a bleak and devastated planet. The thousands of mechanical creatures of this world share a single cycle of energy. In this cycle, Ohm is a rogue element. His nature is to devour and absorb others. When one day a gargantuan foreign object appears in the skies. Drawn in by mysterious creatures of light, the Ohm tracks them across the planet, changing the known order of matter, time and space." <small>[<a href="http://io9.com/">Via</a>]</small>post:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.138472Sun, 20 Apr 2014 17:10:58 -0800homunculusAnimationScienceFictionShortFilmStopMotionStopMotionAnimationBy: jim in austin

I remember when "shorts" were 3 to 5 minutes long. This should have been too.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.138472-5512377Mon, 21 Apr 2014 00:55:26 -0800LaoticBy: Mizu

Well, I liked it, at any rate. The beginning segments gave me a strong Dark Crystal vibe, and it was some gorgeously executed stop-motion work. All the creatures were fascinating and I liked that it lingered so I could get a good look at them all, and each shot was perfectly framed and lit. (I was just replaying Botanicula, so maybe I'm just in the mood for wacky European creature design.) I wish that the pacing had been more varied, though. And the CG portions felt so lifeless in comparison to the stop-motion. I get that that's part of the point, and using the limits of a particular media to create contrast to tell the story is very smart, but that still leaves me liking the first two thirds and finding the last third dead in comparison. But they definitely got me with the surprise of scale, which I'm rarely duped by, so that was nice. I can tell it's something I'm going to be thinking about and remembering for a long time. It's no <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ6qw1nh0tA">Skywhales</a>, but it's only a tier below.comment:www.metafilter.com,2014:site.138472-5512406Mon, 21 Apr 2014 03:34:34 -0800Mizu
¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
