E.T.A. by JUNK from Henrik Bjerregaard Clausen on Vimeo.

JUNKworks has released another great short for Vimeo, set in the distant realms of space.  It premiered in 2008 at the Bingen, Germany Breakpoint demoparty, and presents a scene with a very bored spacefarer named Marvin.

Full screen, volume up.

Run Wrake made this very strange, yet very intriguing short called “Rabbit.”  Like the Dick and Jane books of yesteryear as seen through the eyes of a madman, the style is unique, and the moral of the story is poignant.  (Warning: animated animal slaughter.)

Walter Beckett, a junior CIA agent, receives a briefcase that controls a nuclear missile. The hand-off goes smoothly, until a pigeon gets trapped inside. Pigeon: Impossible is a six-minute short film by Lucas Martell. It is his first animated film, and it took him almost five years to complete it.

College Humor presents an instant classic:  A funny road trip on the Street View highway, with actual Street View shots used as animated backgrounds and settings.

A fascinating video clip depicting the 12 billion years life cycle of a Class G type star in 6 minutes (actually 6:29). From its conception, birth, death – and the deaths of surrounding celestial bodies – and then its remnants contributing to the growth of future stars and planets are all shown. No narration just great music and animation so sit back and relax.

* Interesting note for those who don’t know: our Sun (Latin name Sol) is a Class G type star.
