If Batman was French

David O’Reilly’s new animated short, ‘Please Say Something’ is a breath of fresh air.
Here we have a troubled Cat and Mouse love story, expressed in a way that is refreshing as a Gin and Tonic on a hot summer’s day. The shots are reminiscent of video games, the characters are irrestibily charming and the sound effects are oh-so-cute.
The first 20 secs were abit jarring though, I almost turned it off. Shots quickly jump from one another and the aesthetics are very crude to say the least. But when the characters squeak for the very first time you’ll fall in love instantly.
I haven’t seen a short this good for quite a while. I saw it 3-4 times in 24 hours!
Watch ‘Please Say Something’. Interview here.

I feel like such a tinselberry. All this time I thought Pharrell’s other name was “Skateboy P” as opposed to “Skateboard P”.
Skateboy P makes more sense doesn’t it? Anyhow. Whatever. He could’ve named himself Funky Duffle Duck and the ladies would still make him lemon ice tea.
Really proud of this shot. Pharrel himself and some fan saluting with the iconic Star Trek/Neptunes/N.E.R.D call sign. Shots like this only happen once in a blue moon.
(lol @ accidental yet perfect placement of fingers over Pharrel’s nether regions)

Funny story. At 20 mins into the N.E.R.D set, I really had to go to the toilet. So I did.
Highlight of the day was definitely seeing CSS live. Crazy minxes.
Sadly, there were no flying cars. What kind of a future is this?

Besides the obvious, what’s the difference between the two types of blocks above?
