PSSTPASSITON Film Collaborative






While doing the usual browsing of artful independent videos on Vimeo, I clicked my way over to PsstPassItOn.com, a film collaborative of 17 short films mae by 51 teams of designers, directors, animators, and composers.

From their About page:
The mission of PSST is to produce original short films through the collaboration of Designers, Directors, and Animators. Each film is comprised of three sections produced by three different teams: the beginning, middle & end. This process is the whole idea behind PSST! – a technique derived from the Dadaist game of Exquisite Corpse and the children’s game Telephone and applied to the arts of motion graphics, animation and film-making.
The site is slowly rolling out the many films that they have produced and will be updating with more every week or so. This is a great example of creative collaboration that is being made easily available online for all to watch and enjoy. Artists of all walks of life should understand the power of simply distributing their works to the public rather than the monetization of their artwork even from the early stages. Show your potential and the rewards will be easier to benefit from.

I hope you take the time to check out some of their work, and as I've wrote before, Vimeo is a great resource for video entertainment that is worthy of the attention of your eyeballs!
