Blokes & Two Inches to the Right – Matt Frodsham

Rudy — Sat, 05 Jun 2010 02:16:19 +0000

“Friendly banter and the odd over the top cuss, loads of bravado but no false pretense, and all our jokes at no one else’s expense.”

Two powerful short films from UK director/animator Matt Frodsham. Last year, he put out “Blokes” which was the winner of the Shortcuts Film Festival.

This year, he’s back with “Two Inches to the Right”. “Basically, I shot footage of myself for the motion capture then edited and exported to an image sequence and traced away in Photoshop any spare minute I could get with a Wacom tablet doing a black and a white layer… back into After Effects, lots of blending modes and a few keyframes and not a lot to the compositing…”

Beautiful and moving. Check out both shorts below. Absolutely amazing:

I’m Here

There’s nothing more refreshing than finding art that truly touches your heart. I was so inspired by this little film that I just had to share it with you all.

I’m Here is a 30-minute love story about the relationship between two robots living in LA. Andrew Garfield and Sienna Guillory are in the lead roles, and the soundtrack includes original music by Sam Spiegel and original songs by LA-based art musician Aska Matsumiya and other emerging musicians.

Check out this brilliant, inspiring, short film by Spike Jonze:
