Story telling: the most important aspect of any movie

After being impressed by the visual effect of the Open Source movie Elephants Dream , I suddenly have an urge to take a look at the freelance CG animation short world. So I did a quick serach on YouTube, and found that while a lot of people putting their nice animation short online, many of them are just bad story in OK to nice CG. A lot of them are related to stupid boy interest like explosion, blood and gore, frat, cheap and nasty practicle joke. It was fun for the first 15 seconds, but then the fun simply weared off.

So here's the moral to myself: if I don't have a good story to tell, don't bother making a indie animation.
