Her words on making art while trying to live is so real. Literally every word was a struggle I've felt and it's kind of healing to hear another woman speak those words.
Thanks for bringing her work to light for me
I saw this at the Pioneer Theater (RIP) when it came out. It left me a little conflicted: so much of the acclaim at the time was around the length and isolation of the effort. I'm an artist who works alone and believes in the value of personal process (in contrast to Damien Hurst or Jeff Koons), but the nature of film almost demands collaboration. This video helps me reevaluate that 14 year-old viewing and I'm looking forward to the follow-up effort.
A career that was ruined by one person yourself
Omfg you 12? You didn’t even watch his video I’m sure…..
@@6Haunted-Daysdid you?
@@6Haunted-Days everyone who is going video by video because they were mad about the Wendigoon video is cringe.
@@johnbarrie447 youre doing it as well tho haha seems youre in the same boat
@@johnbarrie447 You liking this channel is cringe. You being OK with IPOS labelling people as "white supremacist" is cringe. Want to see more cringe? Pop your trousers and have a look down.
Damn. Wasn't expecting the Stopmotion spoilers and then it was too late. 😢
Same, but for me it actually made me more likely to watch now. I was hooked by the concept, then a little put off by the trailer, now I'm back to being interested
Ummmm kinda basic it’s a video ABOUT THE MOVIE AND PROCESS. My god what little level of intelligence it takes to know this fact about this video BEFORE YOU WATCH IT! 🤡😂🙄 It’s on YOU…..why didn’t you watch the movie if it’s soooooo important? No you’ll watch a video essay on this project first then wah wah whine about spoilers. What TF so tired of this uneducated nonsense 🤮
I love the idea of this series. And I was so happy to hear Tangomushi! She is another excellent creator, and a collaboration between you two, even just adding a voice, is amazing.
Omg!! My favorite horror discussion channel talking about my favorite indie film maker?? Nothing could've made my day faster! I've legit written 4 papers about Cegavske's work, I'm so glad you're giving it some coverage!
I absolutely adore Cegavske and would love to read your stuff if that’s cool!
i don know if you feel comfortable sharing yourself in a public space but if you do i personally would be quite keen if you'd post your work ^^
Definitely branch out, this guy's analysis video are pretty lacking in effort
If this is one of your favorite channels I ask you to reconsider your life
@@darrylatkins5049 Understatement of the millenium, lol. Hope OP figures it out.
A good novel to read during these upcoming video projects is Antkind by Charlie Kaufman, which is also about a decades long stop motion animation project (If you havent't read it already)
How many comments are you finding yourself deleting
All except the ones that say something about deleting comments
😂
Not enough nor fast enough, couldn't happen to a slimmer piece of shit hahaha
And that's a problem because?
@@ivanjurlina6869 it means they likely did something shitty recently that they are trying to avoid taking responsibility for
this hits me in a personal way. ive been writing a novel series for about 20 years now, with no real progress being made until this year when i decided to complicate the project by making it an audiobook. all made by me, editing (both audio and literarily), writing, narrating, voice directing, recording, foley, and ive found it to be very very fun. HOPEFULLY ill have the "demo" of the first 3 chapters done and on bandcamp and/or kickstarter later this year.
its taken me so long because i have very serious depression, and some kind of anxiety disorder that causes me to burn myself out and have to take days if not weeks off doing nothing to recharge so i can get back at it, as well as ADHD, in which case its incredibly difficult for me to do certain tasks sometimes, as well as list of unhealthy trauma based coping mechanisms that ive had to overcome on the way. i just want to get my story done, so i can move on the the next book, but its takes me so long to get any of it done its exhausting.
so just to see creatives who struggle, but still push through and accomplish their vision despite everything is inspiring. so thank YOU, for the hours and days it takes you to make these videos, and thank you for choosing this artist/subject/medium, to talk about. its helped me in both my personal journey, and also in discovering more art to love
That’s wild, 20 years, that’s older than a lot of people. I admire your dedication to stick with it, I also relate to the sentiment. You deeply want to keep creating but depression just doesn’t work like that.
You got this!
damn 20 years for single novel? stop procrastinate my guy.
Wow, he deleted the video.
Couldn't even stand by your own slander, huh?
True lol.
what happened
@ofdelossantos the dude attacked Wendigoon of all people.
@@kimberlycarrigan8824 I'm not familiar who is Wendigoon or what he did
@@ofdelossantos he's a horror youtuber. And he didn't do anything. He just happens to be Christian and has friends.
I didn't know that the film took so long. I watched it a couple of years ago and was enthralled.
So happy to see Blood Tea and Red String being covered by you!
Same! I watched this movie for the first time for Halloween last year and I fell in love with it. I can’t wait for Christiane’s next movie, Seed in the Sand!
Too bad its not covered by someone with a brain
FINALLY someone talking about this film!
"Film is a collaborative medium" is a phrase that live action people and big studios love to throw out there as if it was impossible for one person to do it all. As if in filmmaking you HAVE to concede and accept others ideas to make it work. Because film is so overwhelming and spans so many art forms that no one person can do it alone. This is wrong. There is more than one way to skin a cat (old proverb). In animation, with enough drive, if you want to make something happen, you can. Only time can stop you, or the lack of it.
Robert Rodriguez wrote a great book about doing his first movie alone.
I love that your (newer) intro already feels nostalgic. Like every time I was a new video I hum along with it and it feels like I’ve been hearing it for years
As an artist this gave me so much inspiration. Thank you for giving her a platform, she's so talented and if she ever engages in a kickstarter I will be the first to jump on it.
I wouldn't thank him for the platform that was built by spiteful person like praise of shadows.
I’ve loved this film for a log time, but never known anything about it, except that she made it by herself and how long it took. Incredible. Robert Morgan and Stopmotion, too. I can’t wait to see your other focuses of passion projects
New In Praise of Shadows let's gooooo 😤
Bet your favourite musical chord is A MINOR, now step this way step this way
I heard McDonald's is hiring.
I’ve seen, like, 50 comments making the same “get a job at McDonald’s” joke. What do y’all have against people who work at McDonald’s?
@@SirCamera they’re just stupid trolls from Twitter. Ignore them.
@@orwelliansonexcept this guy is an idiot lmao... a terrible human by all means
Lol he thinks we are trolls take that as a win
@@benny2906 you’re pathetic if you really think that’s a win. You’re just a grubby insect with delusions of grandeur.
I clicked off this video halfway through to look up christian cegavske on whatever platform i could find her, which i suppose is a testament to your video for how eager it made me to check her stuff out. Very happy to report she's got a patreon! It's crazy to imagine she started working on the seed in the sand the year i was born.
Blood String brings back happy memories of the stopmotion kids show Bagpuss reminds me alot of that shows storytelling segments
As a person doing a somewhat, kinda complex art project all by myself, I’m fascinated by stories of artists taking on these monumental artworks alone. It’s both inspiring and also makes you wonder if you would do that kind of stuff in the name of art and legacy and whatnot. It’s a great video and can’t wait to see the others on the series.
Lol,you just described me.
I have an art/music channel called -Will•∆lone-
I run a art/music channel called -Will∆lone-.
So happy to hear you talking about this masterpiece!
As a one-woman stop-motion animator and horror fan, this is inspiring and exciting! Her description of her work process is highly relatable. My projects can take years (never as long as 13 years, though), but I think I'm able to stay with these projects for so long because I'm using them to process my own experiences, much like you described with the live-action film at the end. I also enjoy the feeling of creating magic and being something like the god of my own universe. From wire and felt I can create the illusion of a living entity and from a series of images I create the illusion of life, movement and time. I think stop-motion animation gives artists freedom to express epic visions without a movie-size budget.
Yeah I feel her struggles. As of now, I'm writing a script, tackling art projects, chores and a social life all while looking for work as a storyboard artist which that in itself is an awful struggle at the moment... But she never gave up so that motivates me to keep going. Thank you for making this Zane ♥
One of the best channels on UA-cam, so happy to have it.
Some of the most fun I've had was painstakingly moving my unholy creations around my attic for hours for school. Seeing as I work 2 jobs, it's hard to find time and energy to keep making things but it's hard not to be inspired by her work
Amazing video, thrilled for the next one. I will definitely check out the artists and their work. Thank you so much for your work!
Thank you for sharing about this amazing artist. She’s so talented and I’m excited to see what she’s posted online and present in her works.
I got such a jump of excitement when you brought up Paperhouse. One of the most underrated horror film about childhood I've ever seen!
Amazing video, excited for the rest of this series!
I am thankful you introduced me to this film! Paused the vid within a minute and went and watched it before returning, and I'm really happy I did!
I actually know the person who did the score for this film
ok
That would be me.
It’s my birthday today and this is a wonderful present.
Happy birthday!
@@InPraiseofShadows Can I just say how much I enjoy your voice and what you add to the horror conversation. Please never stop doing what you do. Unrelated: where do you get your fabulous jackets?
That’s actually pretty sad
@InPraiseofShadows they're from Appalachia how can you wish them a happy birthday? You must be racist
Ok just watched this and what a lovely film. I decided to watch it before continuing your video to avoid any spoilers, but thank you so much for bringing this film to my attention. Really looking forward to Seed in the Sand.
Thanks for another great video, im excited to see the other ones in this series 😁
Every time you come out with a video on something more obscure like this, it's always the most beautiful and artistic works! Thank you for drawing attention to artists like this and for filling up my watchlist.
I can't wait to see more of your Videos in this Series. I love you retrospectives on movies.
Loved it and can’t wait to see who and what else you include in this project!
THIS is crazy... I just "discovered" this film last month and watched it, I'm so happy you made this doc!
Happy for a trash channel 🤡
These are my favorite kinds of videos you make. I look forward to more
This video got me to watch Blood Tea & Red String and now it's one of my favorite movies ever so thank you for introducing me to it!
the fact that this video came out today is a miracle for me, i’ve been trying to get back into filmmaking and was feeling discouraged but this woman is so fucking inspiring and amazing, and i’m also really happy to hear another woman who is super passionate about and dedicated to her art in a way i really relate to and i wanna watch this movie now, thank you!!!
For a second when they said it was made by a “single person” I thought they meant a single person as in they didn’t have a girlfriend. And it was a lesson in not worrying about being with someone and just focus on your passion.
Phil Tippett's Mad God best be on the menu. Took the man 30 years to complete.
Soooo you can’t even acknowledge this woman’s genius and work…..you have to WAH WAH whine about some other movie and artists getting it’s due? What TF Mad God is ON SHUDDER and PRIME…….I think people kinda ya know…..KNOW ABOUT IT 🤡🙄 it’s been talked about quite a bit
Just beyond gross you have to squawk about this and not say a damn thing about this video….what cuz she’s a woman?
Love seeing you praise this awesome movie
Inspired topic choice. Already watched this though multiple times and I’m still struck by the content and visuals. Bravo.
I can’t believe I never heard about her before, thanks for spotlighting her!
stunning work. amazing artist.
edit: it's on UA-cam.
Working a job is really hard, while trying to make artwork. I’m doing that myself, but shit is annoying💀but I’m unemployed now, so hopefully when I get a job I can make it work!
Late to the party but never missing an invite from this channel. I've been meaning to watch this for a while so this will be the impetus I need. Always an interesting review, always an interesting film, always those sultry tones, great channel.
Always glad to see you pop up again. Thank you for your work getting this ol' lug to sleep
Merchandising! Have a company make 3" figures of those white fur bird people and the black fur goat ones. Like make these licensed characters and aside from the figures the image could be put on shirts and stickers - but very limited art for the apparel. The proceeds from all these can go to fund her studio and ongoing projects. It could be used as swag during crowdfunding campaigns. And whatever. I hope someone has suggested some of these things to her if she isn't doing some kind of merch already. The other two figures I would choose are the main foxbirds from Tea, as well as the Mice in the red...Beefeater suits? They look cool and cute. So four figures to collect.
I always appreciate your work so much. It’s always provocative in an engaging way and your passion is contagious. Life has a way of convincing me that spending hours contemplating and discussing a fictional narrative is a waste of time
Great video, can't wait for the next one!
You have such a way with words. Looking forward to what's to come 👍
I love your video on Strangehaven - as someone who makes comics it touched me very deeply. I’m looking forward to this series!
Hey! This is my professor! She's a wonderful woman and an awesome animator. Crazy thankful to have had her as a teacher, its always so funny to see how often I encounter her work in the wild.
Lucky!
I'm sorry that your professor got such a garbage level analysis made about her amazing work. She deserves so much better
Your professor should be analyzed by someone with a conscience.
The professor echo chamber
Your Professor deserves a better channel covering her work, not this human septic tank
AH! I'm so excited to see you cover this film! I have no idea what you have in store for the rest of this series, but if you haven't already checked out the work of Yuri Nostein and Francheska Yarbusova I highly recommend it. They're truly some of the most talented stop-motion creators of our time, and even though they don't exactly make horror content, much of their body of work takes on a similarly whimsical darkness that Blood Tea and Red Sting does. Atrocity Guide has an incredible video on them, though I expect a lot of people here maybe already know that. I can't wait to see what creators you introduce us to next!
This film in particular to me is extremely interesting but it was the inspiration for one of my art professors to assign a project my sophomore year of college where everyone had only two weeks to make a one to two minute long stop motion animation, so I don't watch it too often out of spite. The fact that interviews with her are so rare was something that I was unaware of, since she's come to my college campus multiple times as a guest lecturer and during screenings for students that the art department does of blood tea and red string. If I remember correctly she's close with one of the art professors at my campus, hence why she's done so much for the art department.
This guy, just like Matt Binder, looks like someone who lurks at playgrounds and drives around in a busted ice cream van to lure children to him.
Well he does defend people who do, he made a video about that and then deleted it
@@darrylatkins5049 you didn’t even watch the video. He discussed the menace that is Kevin spacey and several others. God you kids are so shallow with your BS.
@orwellianson I did watch the entire video, I'm pretty sure we BOTH know that he just is mad Kevin has money but actually supports the pdf files. He reeks of bad faith and selfishness. He needs to never step foot on the internet again and definitely quit trying to make this happen. He was never any good at it anyway. His research is bad, his analysis feel like a huge waste of time that says nothing new. Someone lied to him and told him his drivel was good at some point and caused this.
@@darrylatkins5049 Who is Kevin and does Kevin support pedos?
@@orwellianson and you clearly are on the side of pedophiles...
Ben from Parks & Rec has been real quiet since this dropped
I just discovered your channel, love it. Very cool.
I'm a simple woman, I see In Praise of Shadows upload, I click and like. And then I proceed to binge his entire backlog x3
A tradition as old as time itself
I used to be this way, some of his videos lack a level of media literacy and often come off as moral grandstanding. Still entertainingly long time burners though
@@ricardoquiroz4938Time is apparently only 5 years old.
Oh you're trans...
Awwww cultured haha
Thank you for introducing me to this incredible artist!
Thank you for highlighting this wonderful artist
Oh my god it's one of my fave movies even if it bores me at times. Truly a unique experience
Another great video from another great UA-camr.
Thank you for sharing this
watched this film because I saw the thumbnail for this video. what a strange, inscrutable, occasionally almost nauseating, but always beautiful little work of art
My favorite stop animation movie ❤. So happy to see this video this morning ❤
Unrelated but I love your thumbnails, they're a piece of art that really gets me excited for the video when i can finally watch
Never heard of this movie before and after this will definitely give it a watch. Great video and good pick to have Tangomushi voice the quotes, she's giga Pog.
Thanks so much for this video! Beautiful, inspiring and terrifying
.pdf file.
Thank you very much for the invitation,sir,and join you I shall. When this video popped up on my feed and I read the title,I was on the fence regarding whether or not I wanted to watch it because it seemed like it MIGHT be interesting. But then I saw that it was you,which of course caused me to immediately click on it.
Omg i was just thinking about your channel while walking my dogs yesterday!!
Excellent video as always
Been working on an epic multiform playfully experimental 2-volume 60-chapter literary autobiography for about-14 years now with the first volume nearly completed, so this really resonated with me.
Great, great video! Who else chooses with such great taste the subject for his videos? Well done, as always! ...and I have to say that I miss seeing you appear on screen, for it's always nice to see the face behind the voice!
Thanks so much! After these four I’m doing one that will be 2-3 hours and I’m going to be on screen for basically the entire time. My main idea behind it is that if there’s a visual component I want to show that, but if I’m talking about something that doesn’t have a lot of visuals I’ll be on screen. But I want to do that more often, I enjoy being in the videos
@@InPraiseofShadows Good to know, and your explanation makes total sense! Looking forward to more shared passions of yours!
So you;re gonna talk about The Thief and the Cobbler as well as The Overcoat in the next upcoming videos of projects that took a very long time to produce?
I found this when randomly browsing Tubi one day and wish more people talked about it. Loved learning more about the artist
Doing a stop-motion short (14 mins) myself, and Im on year 5 now... Im not sure either how it took so long ;) Thanks for an inspiring video, both to you and to Christiane! :)
Love this! Thank you 😊
Damn, I remember watching this on Arte (European public service channel) one night like YEARS ago. It was really late and all I could remember was this weird red string and the stilted stop motion. When I was watching it I was just confused and weirded out throughout the entire film. Never thought I'd see it again.
Thats what i want from a good vid, it introduces you to something new you like.
We eating good today! New praise of shadows and it's animated!
I'm excited for this!
Im just here to shit on In Praise Of Shadows
This is amazing. Could you add links I he description to her socials so we can all give her work a little more attention (and ultimately, more funding so she's not so run ragged)
Your project is absolutely amazing and one of the best channel names I have ever heard keep it up!
Her work looks so much like Jan Svankmeyer. Absolutely brilliant. 💜
Thank you for putting a spotlight on small creators, it always helps them out a lot and warms the heart
I'd like to nominate La Casa Lobo/The Wolf House, as a part of this series you're doing. As well as a retrospective on Shozin Fukui's work
Does she have a Patreon? I would love to see her make the puppets and stuff.
I heard if this movie way back at high school, I got interested because of the peculiar looks to the bird characters. I still remember watching the video of the creator showing videos of the movie she is working on. Looks pretty trippy.
Yay! More love for Blood Tea and Red String!
Heck yeah! A Zane special! I know I should do my honey do list but this is one of those things where ya get so excited that you just push things aside for a bit to watch.
I have this movie on DVD. Very cool to see it getting some recognition.
