I wanted to cover the subject of web based films. This is a good one couse it takes advantage of the web discourse to create a different kind of documentary, divided into episodes that you can watch in whatever order you want: Camera War, by Lech Kowalski.
What's good about it?
The way it's edited, and the bits of "reality" it shows
Who may like it?
If you're tired of Discovery Channel documentarys, and wanted to see something different, this is your movie!
My advise
Go straight to the nazis protest in the US.

Good Movies 7

I recently realized that, even though it was a great recent hit, not many people now this sub-product from The Matrix universe: Animatrix. That's why I wanted to take this oportunity to recommend it. It's a series of short films produced by The Matrix directors, the Wachowsky brothers, directed by many great Anime directors. 

What's good about it? 

Breathtaking animation, made by japanese masters, and their view of the matrix world. If you never watched Anime, this is a great way to start. Right after watching this nine masterpieces, you will have to see the work of each of these japanese directors, from whom there are great jobs like "Cowboy Beebop" or "Eaon Flux". 

Who may like it? 

If you liked Matrrix 1 (wich is the only good one of all the movies) this is the other matrix subproduct worth watching. 

My advise

As I said before, if you liked this, search for the work of the directors... they're way better than the Wachowsky brothers. 

Here's the trailer.

Today, I wanted to make a difference between a good and a bad video, so you all know my selection criteria. First of all, It must have some kind of interesting relationship between image and sound, and that doesn't mean that they have to be connected in an obvious way. Rhythmus or tempo is very important, since the cuts usually follow the music. But I also consider if the image can sustain by itself, a good way to analize that is to watch a music video without the music, if you find that images are a series of cuts showing the singer in different costumes with no montage criteria or whatsoever... that means you're looking at a bad video. To make an example, I bring you a bad and a good video to compare. I don't like the music in any case, but if you see the image without the music on each case, you will find what I'm talking about:
On the bad side, the queen of bad taste, Lady Gaga, with "Judas"

On the good side, David Guetta with "Titanium"

And now, on the excellent side, Bjork with "All is full of love", directed by Chris Cunningham
The reason why this one's is excellent is the care for details. Not only the edition goes well with the music tempo, the concept behind it is simple and complex at the same time, and the effects are jaw dropping even today, almost 20 years later.

Born to die

A while back, among the first shorts I published, there was "Otakus" by Andrés Borghi. It turns out that he's working on his film "Born to die" and he published on the site idea.me a series of chances for us help him finance his movie. In the rewards you will find tickets for the premiere and DVD copies of the film.
On the next video you will find the trailer and all the necesary information to contribute:
