Scanning a polluted city skyline, we see through his technology as he zooms ever deeper into a distant apartment and through the imaginative use of reflections and technology begins to unravel a sinister secret.<br /><br />Through this voyeuristic journey we are led to a climax with dramatic consequences. Johnny Hardstaff expertly generates intrigue through his development of mood and tension. Namely with the use of the operative’s own hushed voice to provoke a sense of seediness and setting of the tone. As the audience is led deeper we find a fiendish pleasure in this voyeuristic approach. Darkroom proves a clever and absorbing short that packs a very original sting in its tail.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Hunt - Jake Scott </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigGVnPUla5a5KQwNgMeH1l0NUIuuDcaCKWz-nrhZkRHbH1gje8tvA37RkGoJFLdZkOT3LuENJlHd-1HHS3fpwyOlIIdMUR8eHq29BkcR7bNe-ywrV9-zkgoz1JOLOm3kHJHOqNFlZ8Azc/s1600/Thehunt.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457847930743560850" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigGVnPUla5a5KQwNgMeH1l0NUIuuDcaCKWz-nrhZkRHbH1gje8tvA37RkGoJFLdZkOT3LuENJlHd-1HHS3fpwyOlIIdMUR8eHq29BkcR7bNe-ywrV9-zkgoz1JOLOm3kHJHOqNFlZ8Azc/s400/Thehunt.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 295px;" /></a><br /><object height="320" width="530"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JGsAjf5lsgo&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JGsAjf5lsgo&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="320" width="530"></embed></object><br />The Hunt follows two men on a trail to find the ultimate prey. In the eerie woodland something lurks; a mystical creature. Soon we will find that the hunters may well become the hunted.<br /><br />Jake Scott takes us on a slow pursuit, carefully building the tension through a seemingly desolate and hostile environment. Senses are heightened as Jake brings to life every inch of the hunt, every sound carefully designed to put the audience on edge: the crows in the background, the trickle of a stream, the earth moving under each step. As The Hunt nears its horrifying climax we hold our breath as the huntsman sets his sights. However his companion shows a fear and nervousness in his expression. Something is not right. Perhaps the intended prey is not to be provoked.<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Gift – Carl Eric Rinsch </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9fQaFyk25TDtwd_av_Eq7gqWlGiEoVsMM81T3wZlaKv89A_JQmWrFEB5VHOB7lQQ3E-8A_5YbfZ47ZNKx9fBm68gJMcJRhFZy-II9XpBFXj2lJhsGGEBB263d_HR8zsdw6voFEn6SsNs/s1600/THEGIFT.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457848219535457298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9fQaFyk25TDtwd_av_Eq7gqWlGiEoVsMM81T3wZlaKv89A_JQmWrFEB5VHOB7lQQ3E-8A_5YbfZ47ZNKx9fBm68gJMcJRhFZy-II9XpBFXj2lJhsGGEBB263d_HR8zsdw6voFEn6SsNs/s400/THEGIFT.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 295px;" /></a><br /><object height="320" width="530"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XOZkLIwbRrw&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XOZkLIwbRrw&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="320" width="530"></embed></object><br />In this sci-fi thriller, Podarok introduces us to a dystopian future. It’s a winter’s day in Moscow, but the familiar landscape is not all it seems. The traditional backdrop is balanced by the technological hints to the future on show. An experienced KGB Agent is on his way to deliver a special gift. Expressionless and giving the aura of emptiness the lone man makes his way across the city. As the secret of the gift is unveiled to the receiver, the desire for the object becomes evident. The agent must have it. Even at the cost of a man’s life. A high octane chase through Moscow ensues as the dead man’s robotic butler tries to rescue the precious gift. It must not be left in the wrong hands.<br /><br />Carl Erik Rinsch cleverly uses the pacing of this short to evoke and speak out to our emotions. We feel the bleakness of this post apocalyptic future, the gloomy life of an empty man, the desperation of the chased and climatically, hope.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">El Secreto de Mateo – Greg Fay </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH-t4TvPmiZTLdsp229jLfJqyfvXdqlqX-ECBpWTEqCWbKVqoYMT71LDAHg00wpjyG9KEKvRCId3MFfNpRGuDbf5rdQ6TFJFT-EAqdWnJVgKKYKRZUJmYSlmAmbXYYpadxkOJm_7237MI/s1600/el-secreto-de-matteo.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457849193121723218" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH-t4TvPmiZTLdsp229jLfJqyfvXdqlqX-ECBpWTEqCWbKVqoYMT71LDAHg00wpjyG9KEKvRCId3MFfNpRGuDbf5rdQ6TFJFT-EAqdWnJVgKKYKRZUJmYSlmAmbXYYpadxkOJm_7237MI/s400/el-secreto-de-matteo.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 534px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><object height="320" width="530"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hFH3JqL0X3o&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hFH3JqL0X3o&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="320" width="530"></embed></object><br />In this heart-warming tale set on an estate of tower blocks in South America, a boy shows a young girl to a room with a secret. The girl is introduced to a donkey which the boy tells her is a unicorn. Delight and fulfilment fills the young girl as she is left to feel the magic of this moment in a life that has offered her so little. This joy is short lived as we are shown the difficulties of growing up as bullies taunt the pair. The boy stands up for his younger friend. Afterwards though, it all seems too much as the brave boy is left to cry quietly in the corner. Unawares to her friend’s pain the girl returns her attention to the beauty of the animal.<br /><br />Greg Fay delicately shows us the hardship of growing up and the joy that can be brought on by a child’s imagination. Lighting is used to great effect. The hue and glow of a beaming sun fills scenes with a warmth, comfort and tender security away from the harsh realities of the world. El Secreto de Mateo leaves us emotionally speechless with the feeling of both happiness and sorrow.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Jun & the Hidden Skies – Hi-Sim </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2W-zJGYskujs9LxlE0lGCEed0oTqJlYbUJ91UcB3RewgKcP_1jAWCrvADzyblYBrMIihJqB7qeJRC4gK_fDMDUhCC2X7LT4R3KeP0RAJym25RuN7QD3lVD6_Lk5Cg-Sn8ofmJy-unA_g/s1600/jun&the-hidden-skies.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457849046040358066" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2W-zJGYskujs9LxlE0lGCEed0oTqJlYbUJ91UcB3RewgKcP_1jAWCrvADzyblYBrMIihJqB7qeJRC4gK_fDMDUhCC2X7LT4R3KeP0RAJym25RuN7QD3lVD6_Lk5Cg-Sn8ofmJy-unA_g/s400/jun&the-hidden-skies.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 535px; height: 300px;" /></a><br /><object height="320" width="530"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5SYctoTbOAA&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5SYctoTbOAA&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="320" width="530"></embed></object><br />Through animation Hi-Sim transports us into the playful imagination of siblings Jun and Aco.

Jun is left to fall from the skies before being saved by a fire breathing dragon. Jun and his new friend blow away the enemy as the plight to save the captive Aco gathers pace.<br /><br />Hi-Sim manages to bring out a childlike excitement and curiosity from the moment we enter the attic. This beautifully crafted animation bursts with fantastic colours of an imagined world. Visual details have been carefully considered and realism breaks through from the quality of the effects.
