Winner of the Intel Indies film contest last week, The Wand is an animated short film by artist Nick Worthey and backed by Atom Films.
Ever wonder what you would do if you found a wand that granted an unlimited number of wishes? That is just what happens to the central character in this Flash movie that is both humorous and thought provoking.
Would it be time to say goodbye to the same old dull routine and usher in a new age of wealth and prosperity? Would you use your powers for good, or would you take a more selfish path and keep it all to yourself? Regardless of the choices you make, one thing is certain: nothing would ever be the same again.
Nick's delightful and entertaining Flash animation took top honors in the contest and earned him $45,000 in cash and prizes. Flash? Yes, please. Click.

now i ain't sayin she's a gold digga... Loved it - made me laugh, smile, a bit sad and then laugh again. So now all I want to know is where the $45,000 is going - a shiny red car or the charity of his choice?

LOL @ the shiny red car.
And I suppose 'the wand' is just a metaphor for the artist's pencil with which he created his award-winning piece. =)
A veritable Harold and his purple crayon.

I thought it was a very witty piece of work!! I really enjoyed it.
I checked out his other pieces of work as well...they are all really great. He's very talented...especially his caricatures!!
Thanks Jay!

wow . . . deep . . . i liked the part about the two endings. it showed the point where he had to make a decision, whether to keep his rich and stylish life, and therefore die, or put things back to normal and help others, and therefore live. hmmm . . . it'll make me thinnk twice the next time a mysterious ufo lands in my house and i find a mysteriously glowing stick. 10 out of 10.

A darn fine piece of animation, and a well-deserved $45,000.

Excellent, both endings. At the first *Hollywood* ending, I was about to show the film to my kids, but after wathcing the second ending, I am not so sure about that. Great movie.
I like the site, by the way.

I LOVE this flash. It just goes to show that it's the feel, not the eye candy.
I'm so glad you posted this. It made my day.

Excellent! I especially loved the bit where he decided to give up his rich life style. really deep stuff, how he had to learn that it was either be caged up the rest of his life with the wand all to himself, or being free but keeping low

fantastic movie! i love atom films. if you truly have a dark sense of humour, check out "i love death."

nice - a moral tale with a sense of humour. nice touch that the wand's use brings colour to a monochrome world
