Award-winning animated short by Greg Kihlström and Ben Good about a very unique hotel building owned by the brothers Cosmas. No tenant of the building has ever had to pay a dime in rent, so the brothers were called 'Saints.' Now, when one of the brothers Cosmas turns up missing, a very unusual request has been made of the tenants.
The short has been featured in several festivals across the U.S. and was named "Best Animated Film" at the Georgetown Film Festival in Washington, DC. The animation and post-production was done by Carousel30 and Suburban Sprawl Studios.

Awesome concept and great drawings of the chesspieces, but i agree the voices and slow pacing kills it

Interesting concept, but the lack of voices and excessive use of after effects/flash style animation kills it. I would even prefer no talking at all. Also the pacing is extremely slow.

that was GREAT animation with the chess board, was this done in Adobe After Effects?

very good. it does go a touch slow. but with out any true dialog one could theoretically speed the video up and only distort and not lose the musical accompanyment. really well done, 3-d "camera" movements about 2-d objects pulled off exceedingly well.

Moved a little slow for my tastes but beautifully done. Kudos! I'm inspired.
