PSST!3: A collaborative film series

Wednesday night I was fortunate enough to attend a screening of PSST!3 at Galapagos Art Space in Brooklyn. PSST!3 is a series of 17 animated shorts, each made collaboratively by 3 distinct teams working on the beginning, middle, and end, each team taking over where the previous left off.
The resulting art quite possibly induces the most psychedelic visual experience one can have without resorting to chemicals. I was blown away by some of the young talent out there, and even more happy to see such work flourishing outside the big-budget corporate commercials, where one is most likely to encounter creative animation these days. Moreover, its great to see so many disparate directors, animators, and designers able to express their unique visual style, while also contributing to a larger cohesive project. To take this to the next level, I would love to see a feature-length project showcasing a singular story, yet have each scene directed by a different animation team. Either way, when it comes to the future of animated film production, large-scale collaboration will be integral.
The first 6 films are now available on their site — I highly recommend you check them out.
