Hi everyone! Today I want to share with you two short films that I found three years ago, when I was in High School.

The first video, “Alma”, is a short film realized by Rodrigo Blaas, animator of Pixar, and is a short film that has won some different prize in festivals. I like this short film because relate a story that has a symbolism and it signify more that you can see to “simple view”. Alma is a story about a girl that wants a doll that she found in a toy shop (a creepy toy shop). This doll is similar to the girl, and makes that she wants her more. When she tries to get the doll, suddenly she turns into the doll, and she begins to be the doll.
I didn’t found this video but my brother found it through a friend of the university. My brother shows me the video in winter vacations 3 years ago, and I was shocked for 2 weeks thinking about that. The link video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aw0uORumRts 

The next video is “Reach”, a short film too. This is a short film of Luke Randall that shows us how a robot connected to the computer, tries to go away from the room when he sees a bird in a tree trough the window. He tries and tries, but the cable that gives to him the necessary energy to make him alive, it disconnect of the computer and the little robot “sleeps” again. I like this video because it doesn’t have a happy end. Maybe is a pessimistic video, but I like because is real. Many times you want to get something but you can’t because some many factors, that are independent of you, don’t permit that you can REACH that thing.

I remember that I found this video 3 years ago searching some videos after see Alma. With this video I developed my short films mania (animated short films, to be sincere). The link of the video is here:
