Title: Short Films with Still Images
Post by: r-man on July 29, 2010, 11:20:36 am
Looking for examples of arty movies of a certain type - I mean the sort where still images (especially illustrations) are used instead of video/animation to display a narrated story.

Here's a very average example of what I mean, though I'm sure there is much more potential in the format. Vindictus Story Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmGiCu4-Vtg&feature=fvsr#ws)

Anybody seen anything good? I'm sure there must be something on vimeo, but I can't think of any right now.

a search for "photo montage" on vimeo might produce something?

Not really after photo montages though. I'm looking for illustrated stories. But not animated, except for after effects.

I'm especially keen to find shorts using great combinations of illustrations and after effects.

Ah, I see.

Right then, just put La Jetee through a posterize filter and... voila!
