Animated Short Set In Post-Apocalyptic Brooklyn - Fathoms

(Video Link)

Animator Joe Russ drew inspiration for his epic length CGI short Fathoms from his father’s untimely death due to cancer when Joe was only seventeen, he drew the funds to complete the film from a successful Kickstarter campaign, and he drew, and animated, and created over a six year period, working mostly on nights and weekends, until he'd finished this heartfelt project.

Fathoms is a touching, relatable and beautifully melancholic short film about “Sam, Evan, and Hippo the cat as they struggle to survive and find meaning in a flooded world haunted by remnants of the past”, and with a total runtime of just under twenty minutes you're going to have to set some time aside to watch this one, but believe me-it's worth it.

Nice interview, and I love the origin story of the name, Neatorama. The mention of guest bloggers who have come and gone made me think: "Alas, poor Yayo. I knew him well."

if your Twitter feed is just the same as the site, I'll stick with the site. If there is something more on Twitter - comments, links that didn't quite make it, etc., I'll be all over it.

I'm leaning toward Twitter-only content - it doesn't make much sense to me just to run the feed through Twitter, though that has been the way it was set-up before we got the account officially.

I think a combo of Twitter-only content and Neatorama exclusives/particularly good posts is the way to go.

I think neatorama is best in its current format. I am always eager to look at the latest posts every day, or a few times a day. That said, I don't want to have to look in two places. Please don't post exclusives on twitter. I can see how a time dependent contest would be well served by twitter, but other than that, I don't see much of a point.

To be fair, I dislike twitter very much. I'm all for technological progress, being 22 and all, but there are various things about twitter that rub me the wrong way.

Ahhh ya lost me on the Twit er.

It's a banal and ignorant place to be. More a flame game than the old yahoo chat rooms. Really alex, please reconsider. Twitter is for twats.
