The Surreal Short Films of Stefan Ringelschwandtner

Stefan Rigelschwandtner, a student at the Academy of Design in Offenbach (Germany), just completed this un-official video piece for Radiohead‘s “Nude.” It has some nice moments, but once checking out his site, I found a pretty surreal collection of short-film experiments he has done while in school over the past few years.

Although some of his work may be perceived as a bit derivative and/or experimental, I think there is a pretty good exploration of a broad range of skills from shooting, editing, VFX, stop-motion, etc. Another note, which separated his work, is that he seems to have made the compromising decision to put himself in front of the camera as well behind it.
