You know how it is. You’re watching a film develop. Maybe it’s been a couple of years. Or 5. Sooner or later, you just quit stopping by the development site. And if the film ever crosses your mind, you just think, “Yeah, that thing’s dead. What could he be doing all this time?”

Well… Michael Sormann has given us an answer, at least as regards his film “Theme Planet”. At the Theme Planet website, he’s just released a short film, “Bunny Situation“, which he did for SIGGRAPH. Michael wants to be sure you know the short is NOT Theme Planet, but just a short set in the same universe. It’s a pretty charming short, gorgeous visuals, nice pacing. Excellent music and sound. The best news? Bunny Situation shows Michael really knows how to string a film together. And now we can go back to waiting for the rest of Theme Planet, I guess…

We’ve added a new film profile… Cheese by Peter Harakaly.“Cheese” is Harakaly’s third short film. He completed all his films (Fishin’ Impossible, Bedtime story, and Cheese) at VFS as his final projects. Unlike the first two films, “Cheese” is all 3D animation except the visual effects, which were done in Flash.

The film is a throwback to the cartoons of the 40s and 50s. What could be more iconic of that era’s animation than a mouse trying to get cheese off of a mousetrap without getting whacked? The film even has a bouncy musical soundtrack right out of that simpler time.

Lindsay Thompson’s short film “The Look of Love” is a fun little romantic comedy with a Pixar Animation visual sense and a Bridget Jones sense of humour. The main character is very appealing - cute, and a little clumsy. Yet the man sharing the diner counter with her could not be less interested. What’s a girl got to do to get a little attention?

An amusingly bleak hearted tale of two weather lashed old spinsters. Lol and Edna Pearce live on a remote and austere strip of coast. They scrape out a miserable existence from the sea. The pearce sisters is a tale of love, loneliness, guts, gore, nudity, violence, smoking and cups of tea.
