Short Film

Frankenweenie.

If you saw The Hunger Games recently (in Canada, anyway), there’s probably a pretty good chance you saw the trailer for Tim Burton’s upcoming Frankenweenie: a computer stop motion animated film about a boy who brings his dog back from the grave.

The movie is actually an extended animated version of an 1984 Burton short film of the same name. He made the film for Disney before he’d done a feature, but you can tell from very early on that this is a Tim Burton movie. If you have 30 minutes to spare, it’s definitely worth checking out. It even features a young(er) Daniel Stern, known to most of us as Marv from the Home Alone movies.

Portrait film of the Dundas Plowing Match.

We’ve been going to the Dundas Plowing Match as a family for the past couple of years. The “plowin’ match”—as it is colloquially known—is an annual country fair held in Dundas (yes, that Dundas), PEI, in late August.

I’ve taken photos while there the past couple of years, but this year, I decided I’d switch the camera into video mode and make a short film.

You can see it in HD on Vimeo, if you’re a resolution snob like me.
