Drawing on the previous lectures, you will also need to provide a discussion as to why you have chosen these particular films.
So we can choose any films we want to put into this post. But they have to kinda relate to last weeks lecture.
Anyone remember what that was about?
This is one of the videos i think has killed since its Youtube debut;
Creating the term "Beached as bro" this shotty drawn whale has created a niche all its own.
With shirts, cups, calendars, bags, clocks, bumper stickers,& other merchandise, including a spin off " Sausage As, a squeal and their own website, this short little film has shown Hollywood how its done. It tapped into a relatively small market & has totally owned. Granted it hasn't reached the high flying figures accompanying the silver screen but with 4,973,500 views since being uploaded in April 2008, its getting there.

The next film is a "dark-comedy" made by Griffith student, Zie.
It is politically incorrect, morally repugnant & hi-freaking-larious.
This film taps into the current "Emo" phase & pokes fun at the "problems" of Gen Y.
Because short films, especially those broadcasted on youtube is not an area usually explored by the big guns, it can afford to be a little daring & different.
The creater has posted two more parts to the Ash the depresent series, all able to be viewd online.
The third & final part of our collection is Movies in Minutes - Harry Potter.
This is a fad sweeping the youtube/movie world. There are different collections of people condensing movies (Harry Potter, Twlilight, Titanic etc) into mere minutes, mocking the conventions of old Hollywood by simply getting to the point. They are a complete joke but have created a life all their own.
