Research Looking at Short 3D Films

As suggested to me, I've started to look at Supinfocom's shorts:


This short is about a little girl that gets drawn into her bowl of letter soup and finds herself wandering a desolate land with the spaghetti which once floated in her soup now floating around her head. She stumbles across a boy stuck in the ground she tries to help but he's swallowed up by the ground, she looks around and notices that the whole floor is covered with the faces of small children. The eyes and mouths of these children glow and as the little girl tries to make a hasty escape she finds herself in the same situation as all the other faces in the floor, but she she manages to escape and return to her real world.


This one starts as a little girl scavenging for food. She finds a small window that catches her interest but finds the window flips and falls a long way down, only to land amongst some giant tomatoes. She discovers that the tomatoes belong to a giant singing chef that eats small miniature children to which she fits the category. There's a small chase scene and she dresses up a chili to make it look like her, the chef eats it thinking he is eating her but as it is really a chili he drinks as much wine as he can find to cool his mouth. This leaves him like a beached whale in the middle of his floor - then It's the miniature little girl that has the last laugh.












This is a good one called Hemlock. I really like his style and anticipation and it has a good narrative with excellent animation.









I've watched this over and over the style and animation work very well together this is the kind of look I'd love to be able to achieve!
