Probably many of you allready know this piece.
What do you think about this piece?
Even with something worse than a dvx100 you can make remarkable films.
This would have rock in this festival.

The camera may be "worse" than the DVX, but the cgi in that short is far and above the reach of most low budget filmmakers.

And I'm pretty sure that the cgi is 99% of what makes this short worth watching.

But you're right when you say this would have rocked our sci-fest

EDIT:

The film's message was pretty thought provoking....But I'm still fairly certain that the crazy effects were what elevated this above the status of boring sci-fi social commentary.

Transvaal and Tempbot are two more films with similar themes and were also done by Neill Blomkamp. He also did that great Citroen ad with the transforming dancing car. Here's a link to Spy films. You might have to scroll down a bit, but there's couple more on that site. Great stuff.
