Something I always liked... Time to start a topic :)

"Distraxion"

QuoteA short film about a tough night at the office.

Distraxion- Short Animation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxezt4Ks5XA#)

:)

I wish somebody would play me music whenever i'm stressed out =P. Nice vid though. I've recently found a really cool animated vid called "Pixels".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0dE23jVLXw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0dE23jVLXw)

That was a really cool film  :-X

nice one, tehsam016  :)

Cool vids, both :-X :-X

Something like a music promo with animated clip:

Jean Michel Jarre's TEO & TEA FULL VIDEOCLIP 2007

Kind of cute :)

Here is one I like to show you... lovely story, well animated, great music (jazz) :)

"The Fountain"

One more... about a greedy mouse  :)

"Cheese"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VngRJXrjXE0


...and the brutal, violent, and gore version...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cz1AqVEOgt4  ;D :-*

And here something really good. A short film "Junglejail" or "prison break 3D".

Deffo a must-see! Almost 8 minutes  :-X

Cool vid D_B... kindda of how I feel in Portal sometimes!  ;D ;D ;D

This is one of the ads for Team Fortress 2 where they introduce playable characters. I liked most of them, but "Meet The Sandvich" is the funniest for my taste  ;)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63-rGJsYAdY

Favourite quotes:

"My blood! He.. he punched out all my blood!"

"You call that breaking my spine? You red team ladies wouldn't know how to break a spine.. ahh" *CRACK* "..ahhh, my spine!"

LOL  ;D

found something that was both strange and halfways funny I had to watch it a couple of times  :)

By a Russian animator age 21, "Blin Animation Studio"

Title of the series: Versus
Title of animation: Homeless vs Paris Brighton

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--Jjqh6-aaM

Some good links so far in this thread.  :-X

Every time I wander over to Youtube I end up getting lost for a few hours clicking related links.  :-[

Youtube is really amazing.. There is so much crap to be found but also some really cool stuff. I never "surfed the internet" but I do surf youtube, like you I enjoy following links there and it takes me a good amount of time before I realise how much time I spent there, again  :)

I'm the same with YouTube - one thing leads to another... and another... and another... As Art said, there's a lot of stupid rubbish, but you do come across some gems, like the ones alluded to so far in this thread :-X

on behalf of black.penta whom I greet cordially  :-D :-X

 ^-^

 :-D

What is it with Germans and flatulence jokes  ;) Nice animations. I liked the change booth one the best  :)

Evidently they're a gassy lot.  :angel:

I don't know, really. I don't know any flatulence jokes. Dino Island apparently is a French production, not German: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dino_Island (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dino_Island)

Sci-Fi with a tad of anime/manga style. Stunning and smooth hi-res CGI. Fascinating. :-X
Azureus Rising - Proof of Concept (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agk2svo7svI#ws)

Nice find Art.

That was pretty cool.  :-X

thanks you, mandru :)

You should watch this one, too. Like nothing I've seen before, yet elements that seem familiar. Truly amazing CGI and smooth "camera" and movements. A bit on the dark side, cyborgs with martial arts skills and bullet time, and bloody. Weird, slightly disturbing but at the time mesmerising.  :-X

Rosa (Short CGI Movie) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WFC5UPaEIc#ws)

Also very cool Art.  :-X

cheers :)

I happened upon the next one and I am glad I did. I am still amused -- it is amusing. really :-D

CGI Animated Short Film HD: "Dji Death Fails" by Simpals (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv9c_HuK9Gg#ws)

 :laugh:

One of my favorite stop-motion animated films:

Brothers Quay 1986- Street of Crocodiles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgqmXK1pf7Y#)

or go to http://vimeo.com/ (http://vimeo.com/) and type in 20715637 for the video, slightly better quality than youtube I think.

Amusingly unusual D_B but I'm having trouble becoming emotionally connected enough to it to consider it a fav.

+1 for weirdness factor.  :)  :-X

Quote from: mandru on August 30, 2013, 10:24:31 AMI'm having trouble becoming emotionally connected enough to it to consider it a fav.

I was waiting for someone to come up with something like that as I pretty much had no idea what to say  :-D +1 :-X

And agree.. that is indeed worth a +1  :-X for D_B for the extreme weirdness factor involved  :-()

This one caught me by surprise. It is rendered so well it took me a short while to realise it is ALL CGI  ??? Reminds me a bit of I Am Legend, FallOut3 and The Last Of Us with a tad of Metal Gear Solid. Amazing. :) :-X

Ruin (Watch in 720P HD) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cewEPop4B0#ws)

amazing video indeed. All of them btw. :-X :)

Mandru & Art: The weirdness is exactly why it's a favorite of mine.

 :-D

On behalf of Stiku..

QuoteStiku: [too] tired to post, need to think too much before posting

Funny Animated 3D Short Film (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCu7Xf9XElo#ws)

Priceless :laugh: :-X

Some more frog action to watch, not so verbally abusive this time.

Very funny two frogs fly eating competition cartoon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6meFp5fTd8#)

about time, Stiku  :-() welcome to OWG, matey :)

the end of that vid is nice  >:D

Welcome Stiku.  :-X

Good vid.  :-D

 :-D

Just a quick Christmas greeting animation.

 :-D :-D :-D

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdUUx5FdySs

wow, been a really long time since I last watched that. Nice find  :) :-X

I liked the elephant one, but I didn't get the kiwi one.

Kiwi wanted to know how it feels to fly,like other birds, before committing a sadly end. :(

the kiwi can't fly. He nailed the trees to a vertical plane so when falling down it would appear to the kiwi as if flying over ground and tree tops.

I see. I must be slow this week :-[ :-()

Nothing wrong with that. Just abstain from catching snails.. you know.. like, chop-chop, they're off and away :)

 :-D Heheh....

But I needed the explanation too ;)

Nice vid indeed. It reminds me of the squirrel in Ice Age:

Funniest Scrat Moments (ORIGINAL UPLOAD) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbsGWNXZ51I#)

Scrat is great, always cracks me up :)

Me too :-X

Heh heh heh.  ^-^

I like the following vid -- watch out, Portal friends (and everyone else, of course)  :)

"...Wait around for Half-Life 3" - lol :laugh:

That's the one that triggered me as well :laugh:

Good vid, good find ;)

Ok.  Yes it's related to a game I'll never play and even though it's a commercial I like this.

Spoiler

The sheer simplicity of this add and with only two words spoken through its entire length I'm genuinely impressed at the power this piece is able to deliver.

 ???  :-()

just by the way, I removed the "s" from "https" so it would embed.

I didn't mind that there wasn't a preview screen as it takes away a bit of the ad's impact but thanks Art it's still good.  :)

I hope, you got a good compensation from Blizzard, for posting that in here  :-))

 :)

mandru, you can remove the "s" and then slap spoiler tags around that link. that way it'd pop up here rather than having to bail out to watch it on YT. I just did that for you, hope it's the way you intended it to be ;)

Good idea about the spoiler tag - I forget that being useful for videos to allow the page to load faster.

You can always watch on YouTube anyway - now that YT does 1080, I like watching on the YT site because you can see so much more.

 ;)

It looks good now.

Sorry, I habitually right click and open in a new window when I don't want to leave a page so I didn't even think the way I posted that might be problematic for someone else.  Oh and the suggestion to capture vid links in a spoiler for faster page load is a good thing to remember.

Good cgi is animation, right?

here the YT link to the vid

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H08tGjXNHO4

http://www.wimp.com/spacefilm/ (http://www.wimp.com/spacefilm/)

CGI is animation in my books, yes :)

by the way, that vid of yours, if you click on "watch on YT" you can get the actual link, saving us to go through other sites just to end up with a YT vid anyway -- I just edited your post putting exactly that into spoiler tags. ;)

wow, that was a cool film, mandru :-X

Terrific vid :-X

mandru, I've been checking occasionally on the progress of the Rosetta mission and with the landing yesterday I was going to post something about it, but you beat me to it in a very cool way :-()

A huge +1 Art.  :-X

That was superlative.  I enjoyed it a great deal.

The content and vast concept of this video waive away any objections I may have had regarding the absence of actual science behind the formation of our universe.

I found the descriptive auras and construction scaffolding for each of the bodies being shaped and created fascinating.  On my second viewing I often had to stop and almost frame by frame observe the dynamic movement of the aural plotting as information was being displayed.

Spoiler

Not to mention the hilarity of the flatulent noises made by the deflating asteroid when the Father was scolding the one older son for adding dark matter to its composition to speed up the job and skimp on materials.  I almost lost it when the father commented "You didn't come from my floogles."  :laugh:

Delightful.  Simply delightful.

Wonderful :-X Very nice find Art :)

I'm reminded of a non-fiction book by Issac Asimov called "The Tragedy Of The Moon". He went on about how the moon's tidal influence on Earth very likely gave rise to life on the land since the tides may have washed small forms of marine life onto the shores, and they had to adapt to survive until the tide came back in to rescue them. Over time, they adapted so well that they no longer needed to return to the sea - they had become completely adapted to living on land.

The "tragedy" part of the title refers to Asimov's speculation that had our moon been in orbit around Mars or Venus instead of Earth (and we had still somehow managed to evolve), there would have been indisputable visual proof that at least one astronomical body orbits another. This may have allowed humanity to bypass all those centuries of deluded notions of everything revolving around the Earth and thus placing the planet at the centre of all Creation, along with all the strife this misguided reasoning has caused:

Everything appears to be revolving around the Earth;
So Earth must be at the centre of all creation;
Therefore it occupies a privileged position in the grand scheme of things;
Humans are clearly the predominant form of life on Earth;
Therefore God must have created Earth solely for the benefit of humans;
Since God made Earth for humans, it belongs to humans, and thus it's theirs to do what they like with and they have every right to divide it up, fight over it, and persecute over it.

This geocentric attitude persists, either consciously or subconsciously. Some people and their belief systems still cling stubbornly to it. It's inherent in common figures of speech such as "down to earth" (which implies that the only tangible reality is "down here") and "outer space" (it's all "out there", and we are somehow insulated from it).

Maybe, just maybe, had the moon orbited another planet which we could clearly see, humanity may have developed with a less geocentric and more realistic view of the nature of the Universe and our place in it, being aware that we are not at the centre of anything at all. Maybe we would have evolved with a healthier and less arrogant attitude toward our existence, and refrained from the belief that this planet belongs to us.

Or not... ::)

thank you, guys. :)

"Hm? Wait an eon.."  :-()
"The boy is 14 billion! When will he ever grow up?"  :laugh:

Mandru (and anyone else), about your spoiler,

Spoiler

Although I noticed that guy said "floogles," it is a word unknown to me and it is virtually impossible to find a useful meaning for floogle on the net. What can you tell me about it? :)

Floogles?  How to put this delicately.

Spoiler

While the word floogles might be completely alien (extra dimensional in this case) the structure of the rest of the phrase that contained it is common in the languages of mankind and completely recognizable.  Determining the meaning of the word floogles is a matter of context.

The dad was bluntly saying that the person being scolded (the short cutting son) came from a set of testicles (or the xenobiological equivalent of an organ that serves a parallel function in that species) other than his own.  :laugh:

well, then -- "cheers," I guess :-D

For mandru :)

(I couldn't find the one he alluded to in the Jokes topic, but I liked this one, with the "Bilko" dwarf)

! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4ikEBaMOBE#)

:laugh:

It took a huge set of "floogles" for those dwarves to pull off that scam.  ;)

there's that word again.

Funny vid, fragger :)

There were a lot to choose from and I tried anything that looked like it might be the one that mandru was talking about, but it either wasn't there or I missed it. I liked this Snow White one for the Sgt. Bilko-like head dwarf, I thought that was a cack :-()

I've spent several hours over the last couple days tearing apart every video reference I can think of trying to find compilations of Fractured Fairy Tales. 

After rewatching enough of every one of the available episodes to eliminate them as the source of my reference I've come up empty handed for the name of the specific source of  "What? You picked her out of a bunch of good ones?"

There was one episode called The Magic Lychee Nut that I was not able to find a viewable copy of but the trend of naming for the Jay Ward Productions series of cartoons would suggest that this episode would have taken place in an Asian setting which is contrary to my memory of the toon I was searching for.

I know it was a cartoon out of the Jay Ward Production line up because no one else makes anything nearly that sketchy and yet loved for its quirky humor as well as being aimed heavily at entertaining the adults in the room while fooling the kids into think it's on the TV for them.

If I do find this episode I'll come back and drop a link but for now I'm at a dead end.  :knockout

Alright. I admit, I find this funny.
