Found this on another site - thought it was amusing enough to share with y’all.
That was very cute. There’s a lot going on in some places.
That’s awesome!
There’s a sequel as well.
That is a good one.
Reminds me of my experiences as a Flash beginner. The program can do so much that it really does seem to fight the newbie, tossing him from feature to feature and constantly knocking him down.
There’s even a little moral in that => [ Don’t Save ] at the end. Only with a lot of waste motion and lost effort do we ever get really good at anything.
Nice to see an actual Flash version of it, rather than the scaled-down YouTube video. I could see a lot more detail. Anyone got a link to the Flash version of the sequel?
I found the sequel on deviant art. It isn’t fullscreen but the quality is better.
Yes! The details are clear!
I am shocked - SHOCKED! - that such a talented graphic artist uses Windows XP You just don’t see that every day…hehe
This one definitely qualifies as ‘when animation goes wrong’, but for very different reasons.
WARNING: It’s only a cartoon, but some people may find it disturbing as it (literally)graphically depicts extreme violence and bloodshed.
What. The. Fuck.
A work of genius.
Can’t watch videos at work.
But now I can find this thread when I get home.
I thought it was fecking hilarious.
The comic timing on what the banana says is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.
The only problem is that the title is wrong–it was not a “Best Oscar Award Winner”. It was definitely nominated for an Academy Award for animated short, but it didn’t win.
However, this did win the Animated Short Oscar a few years earlier (and fits the OP in the creator vs. creation genre).
I wonder if he really submitted those commercials. To me the funniest thing was trying to imagine the reaction in the board room as they watched them.
I honestly wouldn’t put it past him, but he didn’t. Don Hertzfeldt is…very rabidly against commercials. Odd man, but does some fascinating stuff.
“I’m feeling fat and sassy!”
I am always tempted to say this when people ask me how I am.
