Txt Island
Text Island by Chris Gavin at Tandem Films is one of the best things I've seen in a long time. A short animated film made almost entirely with a pinboard and some old plastic letters, it's incredibly inventive. I love those old sign boards at the best of times, but this takes it to a new level (via Creative Review blog).

Go for it! It probably only took a couple of years to make ;)

In addition to everything else that's exceptionally clever and wonderful about this film, it really demonstrates the power of good sound design.
