"Cubic Tragedy" is a funny, smart, well done short animation, with hilarious references to CG software.
I just love this short film about the pursuit of perfection and its consequences.

Creepy but, amazing.
Alma is Rodrigo Blaas’ first short film as a director. Originally from Spain, Rodrigo Blaas has worked in animation for more than ten years, in Spain and in the United States.

Seizing the possibility of directing his first independent short film, Rodrigo Blaas asked some of the best artists in their field to take part in this independent project: French animator Bolhem Bouchiba, character designer Carlos Grangel and Sergio Pablos, ArtDirector Alfonso Blaas, music composer Mastretta and sound designer Tom Myers.

I love the shot from inside the doll's eye. Beautifully done!

CECI N’EST PAS UNE MOUCHE (This is not a fly)

A story about a man in an art gallery, a painted fly that seems to be playing mind games on him, and an angry security camera that will not let him get too close to find out what is going on. "Ceci n'est pas une mouche" is a story inspired by the painting Saint Catherine of Alexandria by Carlo Crivelli and how it evokes the idea behind Magrittes Ceci nest pas une pipe (this is not a pipe). The film was completed as part of the Transcriptions: Animation project for the National Gallery London.

Directed by Carlos Fraiha
