Vintage film spools with film

I don’t care too much for the Oscars. I think their sole saving grace is to bring attention to the films that weren’t as noticed this year.

So, I prefer the less popular categories. This year, let’s say it’s the Oscar-nominated Animated Short Films.

I’ve gathered them here for you, as best I could. I’ll tell you my favorite at the end.

“The Lady and the Reaper” (La dama y la muerte)

“French Roast”

“Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty”

“Logorama” (Some strong language)

The final contender, Wallace and Gromit’s “A Matter of Loaf and Death” I could not find a full movie for, but here’s the trailer:

I like French Roast, followed by Logorama. French Roast has that classic appeal while Logorama is a well-executed and original idea!

What do you think?

For those of you who haven’t heard of TED conferences, it’s a series of talks, no longer than 18 minutes from people who are passionate or inspired about their ideas. Although sometimes, I don’t have a particular interest in the topic, the people are interesting and have things to say that may help you look at your own problems in a new way. TED’s tagline is “Ideas Worth Spreading”, and I think the idea of this conference is worth spreading to you.

Take a look at this quick TED talk to get an idea of what kind of things go on, and go ahead, subscribe on iTunes or visit the TED website to learn more!

It’s silly, so feel free to laugh - I did!

Rock on!

From the site: “The Electronic Guitar Shirt is not a toy that plays pre-canned musical riffs, it is a real musical instrument that allows you to play your favorite songs and sound great doing it. All major chords are recorded from a real electric guitar, and the included magnetic pick allows you to strum just like you would a real guitar. The included mini amp clips to your belt and gets plenty loud with great sounding amplification circuitry. The tone knob on the amp lets you adjust the sound just like a real guitar.”
