Fun With Short Films – ISOLATED

While watching Isolated I was immediately asking myself one question – why can’t animated features be this beautiful? It is the story of Ivan, a man who awakens in a wrecked taxi with no recollection of where he is and how he got there. The next few minutes are spent following Ivan as he uncovers what is happening and the very real danger he finds himself in.

It’s so realistic looking at times that within the opening 30 seconds I couldn’t tell whether this was going to be animated or live action. The detail in facial expressions, scenery, and lighting are just meticulously crafted and portrayed. What Isolated does with its visuals beyond telling a story is taking you behind its creation. You can feel the heart and soul the team over at Peak Pictures and directed by Tomas Vergara put into it.

Speaking of the story, what they are able to cram into 5 minutes is truly remarkable. I won’t get into plot specifics as that is part of the value of Isolated. It is definitely a high tempo romp through a city scape with some extremely tense moments – I mean the wine cellar people (you will understand that after watching it).

Perhaps most importantly Isolated meets the criteria I have for any short that I review as part of the Fun With Short Films feature. It keeps me wanting more. As it wraps up I have more questions than I have answers and I see the potential for more shorts, or better yet a feature film. In the end, my words won’t do it justice. Give Isolated a watch below, you won’t be disappointed!
