Logorama: Great Short Film Critiques Ads x Wins Animation Academy Award
Monday April 05, 2010 |
 This is a short film that was directed by the French animation collective H5 (François Alaux, Hervé de Crécy, and Ludovic Houplain). After it was presented at the Cannes Film Festival and opened the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, it won a 2010 academy award under the category of animated short. Yup, it’s really that good. In the film there are two pieces of licensed music in the beginning and in the end. All the other music and sound design are original. The opening track (Dean Martin "Good Morning Life") and closing track (The Ink Spots "I don't want to send the world on fire") songs are licensed pre-existing tracks. All original music and sound design is by Human.
Yes, it’s 16 minutes long, but do yourself a favor and watch this over your lunch break. The film plays off the inundation of advertisements and signs in public space.
