It's about time that aardman showed its origins in a full digital, HD upload. It's artistic and early side is seriously undermined by what it's known as today. To be able to capture a still life scene in moving clay within 24 film photos per second is as much as an artistic statement than Dickens was to ink and paper.
Poor fella, it sounds like he was too embarrassed or ashamed to say in a straight to the point way what exactly he wants, which appears to be a meal or maybe even just someone to talk to if he was lonely. He also mentions at some point that he was “disabled in a way”, so hence the man’s confusion. Hope this poor guy got what he needed after this conversation. Definitely one of the more sadder animated conversations.
Poor guy, I suspect that he really wanted (and needed) a meal but was too embarrassed to actually say that he didn't have enough money to buy one😞 My grandparents came from that proud, hardworking and self-reliable generation where people would never want to bother or put on anyone else (especially strangers) unless they had absolutely no option👴👵
I think it was less 'working-class pride' and more 'early signs of dementia'. Sounded a bit like my Nana in the months before her total descent into Alzheimer's-induced gibberish.
This is actually a pretty cool way for aspiring filmmakers to hone in on their skills. Just lip sync to a real conversation, or any audio made beforehand. :)
Takes me back to watching and collecting the FOUR MATIONS on VHS as a kid. Wanting to be an animator. 30 years later, I don't want to be one anymore! Except that these films have re-inspired me. Thank you David Sproxton and Peter Lord, for your beautiful observations.
I feel bad for both the people in the office & the fella that was talking to them. They can't understand what he's trying to tell them, & he can't put the words together to tell them what's going on.
It’s only because the poor man was suffering from dementia. At least, that’s what I thought. Believe me, my gran and grandad suffered from dementia, & I lost them both cause of that. 😔
@@BTNFStudios Dementia, and Alzheimer's for that matter are real killers... Lived and cared for an alzheimer's patient and claimed he was driving a truck down highway 42 whilst sitting watching the ball game and reading a newspaper. Really hard to empathize with disease. My condolences.
I know so heartbreaking. Clearly paranoid and suffering dementia and confusion. God I hope people help me if I ever get in that state and don't just shove me out the door shaking their head saying they can't understand me. 😭😭
That was utterly heartbreaking! 😭 Sounded like he had nowhere to live, sounded like he also had run out of money.... he said the pension was yesterday. He also said he struggled across the road but no one helped him back across. Someone In the comments said the well meaning people were struggling to help him, but I think they just weren't properly listening. It was quite clear what was happening. I wonder if the people recording the conversation stepped in to help.
They all used to be like this, when they first started getting popular, used to be on channel 4 late at night in the early 90's, I might've seen some in the 80's too, it's getting hard to remember. I feel like the old bloke in the film haha

Finally, after years of being in the shadows, it got to be uploaded to here.

Poor old fellow had such a rambling story full of contradictions.... it's no wonder the well meaning Salvation army staff don't know how to help him.
I remember seeing a clip of this on the Wallace and gromit curse of the were rabbit DVD
Wallace and gromit go to Hollywood?
I saw it too.
Me too!
Same.
Ugh, I'm that old I can remember seeing it on TV.
Ugh.

I have never seen these before Aardman and I have been a fan of yours since childhood. These are super cool and interesting. 😇👍
Thanks.
This short was missing on UA-cam, as well as 'Confessions of a Foyer Girl' (1978)
thank you for posting these!
I really hope that old boy was ok.
Me too.
Talks with my grandmother.
Have you got any English subtitles from these series of great short movies?
“Who did you ring?”
I didn't ring anybody. They rang us.
& I never done 'em no 'arm, _none_ of 'em.
I know so heartbreaking.

You can hear the salvation army guy telling him at the end that he'll help him across the road, even though they don't show it in the animation.
Can you release Confessions of a Foyer Girl?
It's weird that this conversation got claymated

You know that this animation was their first animation and it was created in 1978 ;)

Now upload the Wallace and Gromit short films all of then please

Back in the day, the Aardman shorts are some sort of grownups.
This doesn't look creepy at all
You are not creepy, dude!
this is really grim
Why?
He doesn't like the roughness of this early stuff I'm guessing
@@user-os4zl2fv8w The sheer loneliness that homeless old people suffer?
Nah it's not - it's just snapshots of working class British life in the 80's, nowt to be a-fleyd of.
It never did us no harm. None of us.
