And the Oscar goes to.....

Well last night was the oscars and I must say I was a little gutted that Avatar didn't win more awards. I definitely felt it deserved Best Film and Best Original Score, however I do feel that it won where it deserved to win in the form of its pioneering visual effects (if they hadn't gotten those then you would know the oscars were fixed and Anti-Cameron).

It was also good to see an animated feature getting more recognition by the academy, especially one by the genius' at Pixar. Lets just hope that one day the Academy may recognise the work of comedy in the oscars and I felt that The Hangover definately deserved to be up there amongst the top films of the year. But thats all to do with the bigger awards.

What I want to focus on is one of the smaller, less recognised awards that was presented on the night and that is the Shorts categories and in particular the Animated Shorts. The winner was a film called Logorama and is a fantastic piece of film making. Created entirely from recognisable logos thats make up various elements of the cityscape and characters. Its a very unique film and just goes to show how important logos are to our subconscious and conscious minds and how we perceive the world through them. I could go on and tell you all about it but I would suggest that you check out the video below.

Oh and congratulations to the production team H5 for making the film and winning the Oscar. Look forward to seeing what you guys do next.
