      Since the thing still has electricity or some kind of power source when it seems the rest of the world lost it long ago, is in the middle of nowhere and seemingly has a pocket dimension for that long ass quarter tray to disappear into, I'm guessing this is an SCP type of machine that defies any known logic. For all we know, maybe they did try to break the machine but it just wouldn't budge.

    This couldn’t have been uploaded at a more appropriate time in my life.
    I’ve been following you for a while here and you are one of those creators a check up on often, as your animations are just fantastic.
    When this was first uploaded, my father had just passed away. My relationship with him has always been lacking and he died pretty suddenly and I was never allowed much closure in terms of what I wanted to confront him with. I had been cooped up in my room for a while and I was doing pretty awfully to be completely honest. I checked my sub box and saw this animation; I immediately knew I needed to watch it, despite the fact I knew from the thumbnail that it would hurt.
    Throughout the story I was begging for our friend here to what he wanted, to have his struggles come to an end and for him to get what he wanted. When the story concluded I cried. I’m not one for outward emotion but I just couldn’t stop. He had been robbed of what he deserved for all his work just like I had been robbed of a father in much of my childhood. Neither of us got closure, and that’s just part of life I guess.
    I’ve come back after all this time to re-watch this, and I’ve found that our common tale is one of tragedy. It’s no longer anybody’s fault for what we are missing, as all those who could’ve helped or been held responsible are gone, and have been for a long time.
    It’s just a shame things don’t always get to work out in the end, but it’s important we accept when they don’t. It’s just a shame when things work out, nothing more, nothing less.
    Thank you so much for sharing your art with us. Some may be silly, others may be serious, but either way, they are more treasured than you could imagine. I could tell you put passion into this animation, just like your others, and I can promise you that passion carries over to us onlookers.
    I can’t speak for everyone, but I assume I’m not alone in the thought that your animations are extremely important to me, and that I respect you completely for your talent, work, passion, and everything else you put into this. Thank you, so, so much.

  • @PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth
    @PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth 4 роки тому +3330

    My _God._ Instead of just leaving a comment, I just gotta break down everything I love about this.
    First-off, the environmental details and creativity. Things like the security cameras piled on our sticker-searcher's house, the old dog-racing horse activated by a quarter on a string, the many sticker-shops buried beneath snow, the gentle gathering of curious birds, or the swear-jars decorating an old floral-print bedroom... it is all of it whimsical in a way I have never really encountered before. It evokes a feeling of warm nostalgia... like sunbeams filtering through a dusty attic window. I find myself desperately seeking to emulate that feeling within my own works.
    Next, there is the music. The base instruments themselves would not feel out-of-place in a monk's monastery, creating a sense of mystery muffled beneath feelings of stillness. Alone this would be nothing special, but when you combine it with the electronic overlay, the ticking timer in the background, and the rise and fall of pitch? The listener can _feel_ the frantic uncertainty if our protagonist and the strangeness of this world and their quest, all while the solemnity of snowy stillness hangs in the background...
    Next, there is the story itself. You have always been good at combining that unique brand of nostalgic weirdness with a healthy dose of intrigue, and audience interpretation. The plot itself is simple, but serviceable. "Protagonist has goal, gathers items to achieve goal, almost gives up directly before goal, moment of triumph as goal is within reach, moment of despair as goal is pulled away at last second, moment of wonder as goal is achieved thanks to external force, final frustration as goal proves disappointing, end on protagonist vowing to continue chasing goal and reveal that this is not their first failure."
    That by itself is nothing new. What therefore makes it so fantastic and thought-provoking is the presentation. In this desolate, broken world, the protagonist's goal is a sticker-dispenser that glows with heavenly light, and demands a hundred quarters. This is an excellent and whimsical subversion, yet what _truly_ makes it stand out is that by this time, the viewer is 100% invested in this sticker-dispenser. A lesser artist would have only made their audience laugh with the goal's reveal, yet here all they do is lean forward. The reverence with which our protagonist treats this machine is shared by the viewers, transforming it from sticker-dispenser to monolith of worship. We _feel_ the importance of this luminous star sticker, even when we can't explain _why_ it's so valuable.
    Anyone can take a simple story and add whimsical elements, but to so thoroughly engage the audience whilst doing so? _That_ is the sign of a great storyteller.
    I could go on, but it's been an hour and I have things I need to do. I've no idea if you'll even read this, but after such a beautiful display of skill I felt it was only right I take the time to express my appreciation to the full extent of my abilities. Your art is an inspiration.

    Wow.
    That's all I can really say to this, just Wow.
    The visual design of everything is phenomenal, the muted colour pallet, the beautiful blend of 2D and 3D animation, the way you play with depth of field to immerse us in the story, just absolutely incredible.
    The sound design made every single little bit feel grounded, and real, while the music really helped convey the emotion and set the scene super nicely.
    And the story itself, without uttering a single word other than "Woop!" you made me feel so many emotions throughout this animation. I could feel the characters exhaustion, his hopefulness, his joy over the bird brining him the coin, and his subsequent disappointment over getting yet another duplicate all with just the phenomenally expressive animation.
    And that ending, after all that, after this super well done characterisation of the main character and getting the viewer to root for him, that ending is just a total punch in the gut. The well done kind, the emotional kind. The one that is super hard to pull off with a character you've seen for about 5 minutes at that point, and yet you pulled it off masterfully.
    This left me genuinely sad by the end, which is incredibly rare for me. I usually feel very distant to fiction, and it rarely affects me, but this was just so well done, that it just had an effect on me on a deep, personal level.
    This is one of *the* best short films I have ever seen.

      Think about it, everything in this world is dead, unmoving, alienating.
      Anything that has any semblance of response will either never get close to him or borders on dead.
      Everything except the machine. The machine has warm light spewing out of it.
      Interacting with it takes something from you, but has the opportunity to truly give something to you as well.
      The dog is alone in a (literally) cold, dead world.
      But the sticker machine isn't cold, isn't dead.
      To him, it's the only other person in this world. His estrangement from it, his distance is what allows him to perpetuate this belief in it, the enshrinement of it.
      It's the only thing that gives him meaning.
      In short, It's his god.
      The reason the birds come in at the end are to show that he isn't really alone. There are others there, he just has to look.
      But he still doesn't quite get it. In the end, he stomps away, since all the meaning he had previously had was just dashed away.
      The Birds' efforts to give him faith in others were wasted when they inadvertently became a vehicle of the dog's despair.

He cheated on the ride to the city, he stole coins from people's house's (Even if abandoned) and machines, but why not continue that to the final machine?

She saw how amazing that one look and ask me to go again and again each time the new sticker remind her of why dropping dollars into the machine was so worth it. It reach a point where she just handed me $10 and told me to exchange it for change at the store and spend it all on alien stickers. I used to even collect the cardboard slips just because it felt like a waste to throw so many of them away all at once after spending so much money. It just one of those weird memories that will forever stick with me despite being honestly a boring event on a random day.

    Wow!! Just because you worked hard for something... Doesn't mean you'll get a satisfying result.

    for some strange reason your animations just give me good vibes, like I have no idea why. they just do.

    The perseverance and acceptance of the character is incredible. They keep putting those little blob stickers on their door even, like they're not ungrateful for it. The anguish the character felt when they felt like they couldn't go on in the snow anymore, when they thought they didn't have enough quarters, and when they didn't get the sticker they wanted was portrayed SO WELL and the character didn't even have a voice, mouth, or eyes other than the glasses
    Such a great animation, so much detail and thought put into it, an amazing thesis project for sure

    I like this, most post apocalyptic settings you see are either deserts or jungles. You almost never see winter seasons this is something fresh
