Video Spotlight: The Third & The Seventh
If you’re not especially smitten with fine art and architecture, you’d almost be forgiven for overlooking The Third & The Seventh.
At a whacking 10 minutes plus, you might think it a bit of an investment to sit through what is admittedly a very pretty montage of architectural shots overlaid with a gentle, haunting instrumental melody.
But what’s truly amazing about this piece is that it is the work of just one man, Alex Roman, and that it was created almost entirely using computer generated imagery. With very few exceptions, everything in the short film was skilfully crafted using Autodesk 3ds Max, V-Ray, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere.

Video Spotlight: Plane Stupid and the polar bears
In this surreal anti-airflight video by campaigners Plane Stupid, we’re told that the average European flight produces 400kg of greenhouse gas per passenger, which works out at roughly the same as an adult polar bear.
Not sure the motif really drives home the point, but the video is certainly striking and is bound to get people talking – something which, in the days of shock campaigns aimed at shaking the non-voters out of their indifference, is almost as important as the message itself.
Video Spotlight: Forever’s Not So Long
What would you do with your final hours on earth? In Forever’s Not So Long, a film by Garrett Murray and Shawn Morrison (aka Gutsack & Robot), we witness a young man named George as he reflects on his life, while deciding how to meaningfully spend what little time he has before the world ends.
It’s a well-produced, 12-minute short that touches on themes of relationships, regret and what might constitute a worthwhile existence.
