when ur teacher tells u to sit the hell down
And u say no mom
yes
I love how the chair retains its clear shape throughout, even from far away, the tension is so palpable, and I love the ending. We live in a time where aesthetic means so much, people love color and big eyes, I'm glad you made something stark and different when there's so much pressure to do the opposite
Thanks for watching !!!
Chairs provide stability and comfort. I think its a metaphor for trying achieve a place in society where you can get that. Others arent successful in achieving stability and some fail more quickly than others despite trying hard and they are forced to leave into a place of nothingness and left behind because everyones only focused on trying to secure their own seat on the "chair" to do anything else.
accurate representation of how it feels to lean slightly too far back in a chair
Hope YT recommends this to more people, making hand drawn animation takes a lot of skill and patience
First time I found this video because I was specifically searching for hand-drawn animations. Today it got into my recommendations. It gives me hope, that more people will see it
Glad YT recommended this
Digital animation require skill too..
@@user-xh6ju3pg8c yes, yes it does
@@narwhal5447 Thankx and it's really expensive to buy papers or animation cells
the muscles were handled delightfully. Although just graphite, the rope seems so full of real tension
Thanks everyone for watching in 2020!! Obviously a trying year. One of those year will use as a marker in our lives.
What was the plot of this chair story my boy? How did all this connect?
dang, pretty strong animation :o👌 love the weight feeling when he trys to grab the chair, also cool ending! dammn artistic stuff :D and mad skills!
Trying to hold on, like the people in your animation.
metaphor for life? when you think you have just done all it takes to be seated you look aroundand see others have had a hard time being seated as well, just to realize thats what is going on with existence in general,seat taking
The ending is very terrifying but so amazing at the same time
👁👃👁 Does This face scare you
I hate how little attention this animation has, considering how amazing it is
Thanks everyone who watched!! I went from a 100 views or something in 2018 to suddenly a few 1000 views in second half of 2019. THANKS!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Thank you
What software did u use to bring your drawings together
@@monkeyking734 believe it or not this was shot old-school. So paper frames are placed down and shot on a 16mm film animation camera called Oxberry. Even the pan, zooms are manual with a hand crank! Later the 16mm film was transferred to digital.www.oxberry.com/filmaker_page.html
The anxiety is strong with this one
No but siriously I am amazed at how beautiful and terrifying this is, such a surreal yet simple idea and you delivered the emotion flawlessly. Amazing, really
This could be seen as someone trying to find their place in the world, struggling to grasp at it and finally attaining it in the end. But we also come to the conclusion that, we're not alone in this and at times some fail to find their place and just fall into the abyss.
Or that once we find our place in the world we come to the conclusion that we're just like everyone else and the only way to be free of the "safety in purgatory" that the man-made illusory construct of the chair comes with is to let go and find our own fucking way. But in truth, most of us will simply die without the leash of the safety chair holding us from the great abyss.
I mean, if you think about it, we could only see the person at first. At the end, we see everything he could already see all around him. Those are all the examples of people who got this situation to work for them in their own sad way. They're simply sitting around doing nothing, waiting to die. But they're safe. But as he's falling, he sees they're safe; that's ALL he sees in that terror-filled moment. So he follows their example to be safe, never knowing what happens when you reject the leash. And he becomes like them.
The apathy these people who made it on their chairs show to the people falling is truly abhorrent. They watch from their safety net and do NOTHING while people, brethren die all around them, crying out for help, for direction. Maybe the masses of people in their chairs have it in their mind that life in this twisted world is meaningless, and their only choice is between a slow, meaningless, coddled death atop a chair and the unknown fall that would certainly lead them to a painful death. Maybe they all know this and have lost hope, despite the fact that there may be a different way to live if they jump and take their life into their own hands.
@@evieisleavie some art is less a message and more a reflection of yourself that you want to see.
To someone who thinks this, you can determine what your own woes are. Maybe you should look at these comments you made to find out what makes you unhappy, now that a year has passed and you've likely forgotten what you wrote.
This probably has a deeper meaning but I have no idea what it is.
I've watched it over and over, sometimes months apart, haunting. Never forget it
This was brilliant
And now for something completely different...
...عندما يخبرك معلمك بالجلوس 0:43 😂😂😊
To me it's about how we are confining and restraining our infinite and ever expanding souls with mere 3d achievements and societal pressure (notice how chairs themselves are hanging and pulled downwards by gravity but the bodies are shown to float upwards).
now seeing all these ai art trends etc its so refreshing and beautiful to see such commendable work.. so beautiful
This makes so much more sense when you watch it upside down.
Not everything has to be popular for it to be great could it still consider art if it's not shown to anyone
Thanks ! Happy New Year! first comment of 2024!
I just realized that the video was upside down after watching half of it 🙃
I’m scared shitless and I don’t even know what’s going on
A gorgeous piece. Gave me chills. Great stuff, dude.
This literally put me on the edge of my own seat
Everyone put this on the algorithm
oh he be sittin
Hand drawn animation is beautiful. And this is beautifully done, dang. Wow.
I'm learning animation and this is just awesome
I’m scared
Being that i animated a short film myself for the first time, seeing this is just amazing. Not just the animation but the visual storytelling and the unnerving music zooming out to see the other people is just great. A great animation!
This really illustrates the state of modern capitalist societies where everyone is forced to earn a seat at a company in order to ensure a decent living/survival.
me at ikea trying to get _chair_ on blackfriday
Good
The is beyond words simply beautiful, hope more people will see this and that 2d animation is not lost to time.
Bro just wanted to sit
I imagine it as everyone is struggling in life both mentally and physically some people can’t make it to “ the chair” some people push and make it and are able the continue with life and sometimes they make a wrong move and fall off the chair
the storytelling is amazing ✨
thanks!
Woa
Wow
Waoo
This is super good how long did it take? This looks so hard to make💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Underrated for how amazing this looks
That phycological moment when you can’t sit the fuck down.
No one liked this
@@riverbandit2138I liked it
My mans just trying to the relax but the puppet gods said nah
This is terrifying, legit gave me that dizzying feeling you get when you almost fall off of something. I love it.
this is dope
Watch it upside down
Amazing this reminds me a little bit of Junji Ito,
especially the last part
Thanks! That's high praise!
And this is why hand drawn animation is superior to everything else --- its the mother of all storytelling. Please share this! ❤
Olağan üstü!
I can't even animate this good on a tablet lol, I guess practice makes perfecto
This is so underrated 😔😖
Beautiful animation!
Como diabos eu vim parar aqui?
love the storytelling and the raw lines
Wow...! Love it!
Museum worthy.
I yelled & I yelled at my computer screen. "Wrap the rope _around_ your wrist 1st!" but he just wouldn't listen! So, frustrating.🤬
(But, tbh it _was_ fantastic animation. Thanks for sharing.🤗)
I remember when this had only 4k Views... Such a masterpiece!
wowwowowoww

It's SO FXXKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
The timing is so great!
lovely
wtf this is dark
Wow! Your so amazing!
Beautiful animation! Makes me fill discomfortable just as it should to. Amazing!
LOVE IT! I have a film idea with similarities to this that I really want to write!
Write it! My philosophy now is to spend 70% of the time on the writing - before it was reversed.
Incredible work - can’t believe I never saw it until now. Great animation, great concept, great sound design.
Holy crap! Excellent work! Really felt this
It's an odd comparison to draw but this feels very Junji Ito. Incredible piece!
awesome video, found that ending quite dark with some of the figures falling off. very cool.
Thanks for watching! Guess I have a bit of existentialist streak.
@@imagevulture don't we all. Makes me want to have another go at animation
Woooow !
This is absolutely amazing
this kinda scares me and I play horror games all the time
Thanks!!
Are you Mori? I love this short film. One of the best I've ever seen!
yes, Hiroshi Mori
Wow it's 2023 already! Thanks for still watching!
Am from 2024 hi
Nice!!❤️
I am very impressed with the drawing technique you have, the concept of the story itself is disturbing as well as realistic. I have no words, you are a great artist!
Wowww, great work 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
This is what an existential crisis feels like.
How many frames was that?
「山下明彦」が作った透明人間のアニメを思い出しました。
面白かったです！
Juan 😈👊
