The Origin of Creatures is a distururbingly bizarre short film created by Floris Kaayk. It takes place in a post-apocalyptic furtue overrun by these strange human mutated body parts. This is seriously something right out of a nightmare.
Here's a description of the story:
A futuristic vision of a world after a catastrophic disaster. In this dark parable mutated limbs are looking for cooperation, but due to miscommunication this mission is doomed to fail.
The storyline of The Origin of Creatures is based on one of the most well-known tales about collaboration, the Tower of Babel. This tale is transformed and twisted and is set in an imaginary future, after the world is hit by a catastrophe. Among the remains of a devastated city lives that what is left of humanity. Human bodies are divided into separated parts of the body and are fused to special beings. Together, these creatures form a colony,...

A viral video of a Dutch engineer 'flying' over a park in the Hague has been revealed as a hoax. Jarno Smeets, the engineer behind the flight video, has since told Dutch television that he is a filmmaker and animator named Floris Kaayk, and has called his videos "online storytelling". He had released a series of videos since August 5, 2010, detailing the process of the creation of his 'wingsuit'. Kaayk stated on his website: "The Human Birdwings project was a non-commercial media project supported by a professional team. The story was carefully crafted and [built] (more)...

Cartoon Brew has debuted the list of the thirty-three films up for consideration in the Best Animated Short category for the upcoming 2011 Oscars and I have done my very best to find a video for each and every one. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find anything for Rao Heidmets's Inherent Obligations or Don Hertzfeldt's Wisdom Teeth so if anyone out there can help find video for those either let me know in the comments or shoot me an email.
Otherwise, spend some time over the next three pages to preview some really cool videos. I had a chance to preview a few of them while putting this article together, but have yet to check them all out. So let me know which ones are your favorites and which ones don't really do it for you.
Additionally, if any of the people that made these films are reading this...
