Here we go with the video of the week section where I bring to you a great inspirational video found on internet throughout the work week, it could be a motion graphics or an animation, 2d or 3d, even a trailer or music video with some great design or animation techniques.

I try to bring a wide variety of outstanding shorts to your attention on this section, this impressive short “Alive in Joburg” a 2005 project where real video is mixed to some 3d effects to create a little documentary about aliens and how they are living on the earth since 1990. I know you may think this is a copy of the film District 9 but not, is the opposite.

The director of this short film, Neil Blomkamp is really talented as we can appreciate on this video and some others like Citroen C4, Nike or tembot, and thanks to the success of this mock documentary, he become the director of the film release on 2009 by Tri Start pictures, based on the same scenario and includin some actors from the short like Sharlto Copley.

Directed by: Neil Blomkamp
