I’m reviving Animated Oddities where I’ll find offbeat animated shorts, movies and more for you all to enjoy.

This is Playing Ghost (2011) is a stop-motion animated short by Bianca Ansems. It’s a beautifully crafted piece about a little girl and her mother coping with the recent death of her father. Luckily, you can watch it HERE and click HERE for more animated oddities.

NEW SONG: the noises we make when no one is around - "playing ghost"

“Playing ghost” sounds just like what it is – a British songwriter with a beautiful voice, playing acoustic guitar in a dark room while listening to Xiu Xiu.  “I can see that I am not safe,” Taylor-Broad sings quietly, as an atmosphere of spindly acoustic guitars and ominous synths slowly build up around him. The haunting, repetitive melody makes this less a conventional song and more like an ambient drone composed of traditional instruments. It’s unusual and uncomfortable, and it’ll have you coming back for repeated listens as you’re doing something else, until you realize it’s latched onto your brain. For maximum effect, listen in the dark.

This is Bianca's graduation film from the NFTS (National Film and Television School). I visited this school and saw one of the set's used in this film. It was vast.
