Tim Burtons first stop motion short called "Vincent". Reminds me of Edward Scissor Hands and his style is just awesome.


A short film by AM alumni Gonzalo Andres Toso called "CannonBall Man". Really cartoony feel to it and a funny ending.

A short film by AM Alumni Ziv Kitlaro called "Apprehension". I remember seeing this when I first started AM it was featured in one of the newsletters and I really liked the story and great timing in the animation.


A short film by Trexel Animation called "Copia A". This short has a great story and the fact that they made this on spare time really makes me want to do something like this.
