Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis channels the anarchic satirical wit of Hunter S. Thompson and existential terror of Franz Kafka's titular novel to create a psychedelic cocktail of dark musings and lucid imagery. The short is an brilliant advertisement for Good Books, a book-seller whose proceeds go one-hundred percent to support communities in need through Oxfam International projects.

I think they absolutely nailed Thompson's paranoia-drenched prose and talent for off-the-wall analogies. Go check them out next time you're looking for something new to read, it's for a good cause!

Gabriel In The Dreamscape: Introduction

"I'm like sleepwalking through a lucid dream. Dream-walking, man. That's me...living the dream!"

Such is the life of Gabriel; Eric Lerner's imaginary living-tattooed, motion-graphic graffiti artist who inhabits the border-realm between what is and what might be. It's certainly one of the most attractive shorts I've watched recently, combining impressive motion-capture animation with stylish live-action editing. I would love to see more of Gabriel's musings and misadventures in the "dreamscape". I'm certain that this isn't the last we've seen of this bug-eyed yellow dude.
