Well, it looks like the trilogy of new channels is now complete: the short films channel has launched! To commemorate this, I've filled my queue with some interesting short films, and I've even taken a page from schmawy's book and modified my avatar for the occasion (though my photoshop skills are nowhere near his).

I've already started putting stuff in the channel, but I'm sure there's a lot that I've missed, so feel free to go through your videos and *shortfilms where needed. Remember, any video which tells a story is welcome.
