“Saturday Short” (suggestions on a better title are welcome) is a new feature where we’ll be featuring a new (to us), full-length, weird short every Saturday. Shorts are selected by our new “shorts editor” Cameron Jorgensen.
This stop-motion animation by David Firth is just over a year old. David found a lot of the props he uses in this animation in his own backyard. Beware, most of his shorts are very creepy, and “Crooked (Orcus) Rot” is no exception. A lot of his work can be defined as dark humor while this would better fit under experimental. Musical score written by Marcus Fjellstrom.

Amazing. I wish I had the ability to do this sort of film work. I see hints of the Brothers Quay and all those Tool videos in these as well as a lot of other things. Very much the stuff nightmares are made of, and the dark places I like to live.

i have been a fan of david firth’s for years. while other internet cartoonist start to bore me, i never tire of him. i can’t wait for his full length film to be released. when it does, i’m sure it will be one to consider for the site.
