Sintel - super cool video by someone to watch for in the future.

Sintel is an approximately fourteen minute short directed by a young man, Colin Levy.  It is a thought provoking story filled with irony and a sense of continuity that makes me sad and yet fills me with hope.  I suppose what is most touching to me is how people can come up with ideas for a story and then bring it all together through imagery and music. 

Colin  has been making short films since he was a kid.  His blog states that he just got a 12 month residency position at PIXAR.

I think this guy is going to  be someone whose work we will see on the big screen in the not-so-distant future.

If you want to follow this rising star's trajectory, bookmarking his blog might not be a bad idea.  Following this link will also give you the opportunity to see some of his earlier work and it will  give you a front seat to his upcoming video short called, "The Secret Number".
