Is the torture of poor Boxhead and Roundhead never to end? I suppose I must be a very cruel person, because I laughed a lot, but I have a question: WHAT IS THAT LANGUAGE??? It sounds so romantic...
JESUS! you're turning out an animated short every week! Kudos to you for getting yopur shit together & MAKING something! There's some excellent compositions in this one when B & R are INSIDE the machine - the shapes & textures - GORGEOUS! You'r ehot on the heels of joel Trussell's position of ONE MAN ANIMATION STUDIO. Keep it up. & Happy New Year too!
That is a great short. Just found you on Drawingboard.org. Great use of a Tom Waits song too. He is popping up more and more in animation since his music already elicits imagery. Patricia asked what language it is... I think she was talking about the song... It is actually entirely made up. The song is called "Kommienezuspadt."
Your use of texture in this animation is awesome. Great work!
I look forward to watching it a little later.

ReplyDeleteJAG - you'll love it.
ReplyDeletePatricia - When I first wrote the books and showed them to my friend Alex he said, "There seems to be a recurring theme of calamity here".
Grim and beautiful. I watched it a few times in a row and will watch it again tomorrow, to lift the spirit.
ReplyDeleteNext one should be in colour, a Disney's employee said.

ReplyDeleteAccording to the various Germans I know it isn't in fact gibberish (I had read it was).
