Friday Smackdown: Deploy All Beasts

Sounds of the throngs bent the vapid air. Grey fur and red hues mixed among family upon the large beasts taking them to an unknown land. A horn would sound – you wait for the count. One, you continue moving. Two, you stop and dismount. Three, you attack to the right. Four, you deploy the full power of these links.

Kisoo Lee – Wonderful views of fantastical lands, castles and windmills, monuments old and ancient, and a peculiar rhythm across them all.

Central Panik – I’m not completely certain what this surreal short is about, but it has very cool visuals… and there’s flying hamburgers in it. Making of included.

Carboard Airships – These amazing cardboard airships by Jeroen van Kesteren are my new favorite thing in the world. Ohhh, the detail.
