I'll never look at clowns the same way again...and the same can be said for popcorn!

"KaBoom!" is another extremely short film by Adam Pesapane--who goes by the name PES (I have no idea why). While it's listed as two minutes long, it's actually barely more than a minute and is, as usual, very strange! PES uses stop-motion to animate a battle sequence using a few war-like items (a plastic airplane and some toy guns) but also adds LOTS of things that have nothing to do with war to make these 'weapons' come to life--including plastic clown heads and popcorn!! It's really hard to imagine what it's like unless you see the film. All I can say is that Adam is extremely talented...and extremely strange. This is not meant as an insult--I LOVE strange and talented folks! Great job...but, as usual, just too short. I'd love to see him to a much longer film--maybe even a whopping 5 or 6 minutes long!!

Boring premise but the unexpected objects really make this interesting viewing!

Very short and well done Warning: Spoilers
"KaBoom!" it's a colorful, amusing and witty little short, in which (like in the other shorts done by PES) ordinary objects (such as toys, matches and Christmas ball ornaments)circuits and are used in order to recreate not so ordinary situations, resulting in something unique and visually impressive.

Those special qualities are also the main factor why the shorts done by PES are so enjoyable, giving a "special" or "magic" quality to those objects and activities from everyday life.

Also, the brevity of each short serves as an effective component to appreciate the virtues displayed by them.
