Short Film of the Day: Psych yourself up for Chronicle (in theaters now!) by watching Chronicle screenwriter Max Landis’s Drunk History-esque, semi-sweded, sNSFW, not-all-that-accurate retelling of The Death and Return of Superman starring Elden Henson (Fulton!), Elijah Wood, and Mandy Moore.

The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore

by Moonbot Studios

“Inspired, in equal measures, by Hurricane Katrina, Buster Keaton, The Wizard of Oz, and a love for books, “Morris Lessmore” is a story of people who devote their lives to books and books who return the favor. Morris Lessmore is a poignant, humorous allegory about the curative powers of story. Using a variety of techniques (miniatures, computer animation, 2D animation) award winning author/ illustrator William Joyce and Co-director Brandon Oldenburg present a new narrative experience that harkens back to silent films and M-G-M Technicolor musicals. “Morris Lessmore” is old fashioned and cutting edge at the same time.

“The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore” is one of five animated short films that will be considered for outstanding film achievements of 2011 in the 84th Academy Awards ®.”

One of the best short movies I have ever seen. Beautiful!

This Looks After Effects’ed of the Day: The mermen surf, while the world burns.

YouTuber keef70 offers some context for his masterfully After Effects’ed GoPro surf video, “Apocalypse Later, Surf Now”:

The machines in the distance are oil rigs, their cylindrical legs allow them to walk/float anywhere in the ocean and [they] have sucked the Earth dry like locusts. The airships aren’t an invading force, but a massive evacuation by other humans trying in vain to escape the meteor hellstorm raining down.

Music: ”The Whales” by The Mermen.
