Fernanda Ribeiro just graduated from the Vancouver Film School, but no before producing this Flash-animated short. Cup of Tea is a 2-minute piece about a young girl who will try nearly anything to revive her frozen grandmother.

Here’s Henrique Barone’s latest film from his studies at the Vancouver Film School. It’s titled Tough West, in which you’ll see Barone’s very firm grasp on background layouts, composition and color. A critique I’ll toss in – the short isn’t quick on the draw. We linger too long on the opening shots, and don’t keep the pace throughout. But a solid film – congrats, Henrique!

Luis Gadea was so ready to wrap up school, he produced two graduation shorts. Here’s his second, titled Wait for me under the lamp post. He animated in Flash during his studies in the Classical Animation program at the Vancouver Film School.

While this Flash-animated short from Ross Klettke moves at a somewhat glacial pace, I think it’s cut just right. The slow burn, set against the excitement of the crowd builds the gag. The Celebrity is Klettke’s year-end short from his studies in the VFS Classical Animation program.

Vancouver Film School grad Grahaeme Cowie created this 2-minute Flash-animated film, titled Tok Tok Tok, as part of studies in the classical animation program. Congrats on graduating, Grahaeme!
