AniBOOM, in cooperation with The History Channel, present "The People Speak" winner
the Competition:
The History Channel and Aniboom are giving you the opportunity to have your animated take on a great historical speech shown on television. We've recruited musicians, actors, and writers like Matt Damon, Morgan Freeman, Josh Brolin, Allison Moorer, and Bruce Springsteen, to read the words that have shaped and enriched our nation. By boldly rising and demonstrating the power of free speech and democracy, these select few people enriched the world and changed history with language. Keep the traditions of self-expression and artistic freedom alive-we want to see your take on the incredible and inspirational words still ringing down the annals of history! the Grand Winner: Patriotism for Scoundrels Created, Directed and Remixed by David Chen Narrated by Sandra Oh, of a speech declared by Emma Goldman, entitled, Patriotism: A Menace to Liberty (1908)-(Anti-War) Released on December 10, 2009 Congratulations to David Chen, winner of Aniboom and HISTORY’s The People Speak Competition! David’s unnerving animation takes the words of Emma Goldman, as acted by Sandra Oh, and shows how easy it is to destroy the very ideals from which freedom is based.

Not a short, but a music video. It's animated, so it counts.
Even if you don't like the song, the video is pretty powerful.

Granny O’Grimm’s Sleeping Beauty Directed by Nicky Phelan Written & Performed by Kathleen O'Rourke Produced by Darragh O'Connell Music composed by Gregory Magee Released on May 31, 2008 (Premiered at the Palm Springs SHORTFEST) Distributed by Brown Bag Films, in cooperation with The Irish Film Board, RTĒ, & The Arts Council Schomhaírle Ealaíon In this comedic short, Granny O'Grimm, a seemingly sweet old lady, loses the plot when telling her granddaughter her own version of Sleeping Beauty. It blends a mixture of 3D computer animation as the main background, and then shifts to a palette of 2D paper-marionette animation when the grandmother orates her fairytale. This short is a nominee for a 2010 Academy Award.

"logorama presents us with an over-marketed world built only from logos and real trademarks (over 2500 of them!) that are destroyed by a series of natural disasters (beginning with a hurricane, cyclone, tidal wave...). logotypes are used to describe an alarming universe (similar to the one that we are living in) with all the graphic signs that accompany us everyday in our lives. this over-organized universe is violently transformed by the cataclysm becoming fantastic and absurd. it shows the victory of the creative against the rational, where nature and human fantasy triumph." -- synopsis via the creators (François Alaux, Herve de Crecy and Ludovic Houplain) This short won the 2010 Academy Award, category: Animated Short Film.

A Matter of Loaf and Death

Gromit is worried that they may be the next victims but Wallace couldn’t care – he's fallen head over heels in love with Piella Bakewell, former star of the 'Bake-O-Lite' bread commercials. So Gromit is left to run things on his own when he'd much rather be getting better acquainted with Piella's lovely pet poodle, Fluffles. Will the duo be able to escape with their heads, or will their rise to the top eventually end with a plummet? This short is a nominee for a 2010 Academy Award.

Inventiveness that intercrosses illusions, which finally brings about insanity...
I've delayed this as far as I could, but it seems this film is not to be found anywhere on the net (yet). Until then. . .
Quote:
a haunting bard of disillusionment, I'd regard, with a medium of work, which ironically, is all about providing the audience with a sense of grand illusionism. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Monochrome is a collection of monographs dealing with inventors in their most critical moments of life. In this volume we meet historical figures, we can look at them closely, their work and its effects. We'll find out who really invented the cinematograph, who was behind the discovery of X-rays, the discovery puzzle solved will the North Pole. In addition, this album reveals a darker side of life in a world revolution and leave us in suspense, whether people are guided by machine, or vice versa. [This is the story from which Tomek drew his inspiration to create his third animated short film, The Kinematograf.] The Kinematograph Directed by Tomek Bagiński Original story by Mateusz Skutnik, adapted sceenplay by Tomek Bagiński Musical score by Adam Skorupa and Paweł Błaszczyk Released on June 17, 2009 (Premiered at the Złote Tarasy Multikino in Warsaw) Distributed by Platige Image Francis, a humble clerk and a self-taught inventor had it all, it seemed: a big house in a small town, a lot of free time and a loving wife. His invention is supposed to change the world. He forgot about one thing: dreams always cost too much. He is focused only on himself and his work and realizes the gravity of the situation only when it is too late.

another animated music video
Year of the Rat directed by Monkmus music by Badly Drawn Boy released in June of 2004 (UK) ; October 5, 2004 (US) distributed by XL Recordings author's comments: (Damon Gough) "It’s still about relationships but not so much about just me and Claire this time, it’s about wider friendships. I’m asking people not to wish their lives away. But most of the time, through the songs, I’m telling myself these things. I can be quite a dark person, a born worrier, and I think that sometimes these songs are a message to myself to see the brighter side. The last album was thematic too but born mostly out of the frustrations of being away from home. For this record I was at home and now it seems I’m looking out at the world from there."
