After this video, I immediately bought the book. I waited for the book to ship and I was as excited as a little girl waiting for a puppy to come home.
I finished the book in 3 days and my god, it was one of THE BEST thing I've ever read my entire life.
Thank you, Zealous Creative. I'm really looking forward to similar future project.
Wow, what a great review-thanks! We recently released a graphic novel follow-up to our other short film, Zero. Check it out here: bit.ly/Zero-The-Beginning
Zealous Creative i bought it on Amazon JP and gave it a 5 stars review ;)
Sorry, but can you tell me the name of the book? I’m really interested in it.
Thank you a lot!
Ignacio Medina it's called The Magnum Opus, you can find it in description of this video
Book?!??
This is honestly a pretty sad, vicious cycle.
You mean the cycle of life?
MattyDove no, more like the cycle of being created by your partner/SO/maker and then only having the amount of time in the hourglass to recreate your said counterpart before you perish, then the same goes for your counterpart after the time is up.
Not really. I don't want to spoil anything but you really should read the book. The link to get it is in the description.
They get to be together, to look forward to that. Many people toil endlessly and never get to 3:41, they get that moment over and over
Yes just living for 3 minutes only there to create another of your kind, no one there to love you and praise you... I can’t imagine
bro this man just been born 3 minutes ago and he rockin that violin
SassyLlama Boi lmao tbh tho
True Ling Ling
To think that the one he made is going to have to do them violin skills
That's a power of heredity.
@@pembe116 Although I do wonder what twoset would say about his fingering skills (or lack thereof)
Dude it's been 11 years and this is still a masterpiece
And they are still hearting and replying to comments! so slay
I watched this when I was little and I just now found out theres a part 2 book
How can people find this piece of art even remotely creepy or nightmare inducing?This has to be one of the best and most beautiful animations I’ve ever seen.There’s also brilliant music to back it up.
Bueno, eso es por qué muchos la vimos de niños y los personajes se veían algo inquietantes, además la atmósfera genera un aura de misterio que genera más inqietud. Pero bueno ví esto por primera vez cuando estaba en primero de primaria creo, y ahora tengo casi 16 años y ahora que lo vuelvo a ver me parece una obra realmente hermosa, aún sigo pensando en los posibles significados que podría tener
It is super creepy.
@@mapron1nobody cares what you think vladimir
The animation is very well made and i can't even imagine how many hours of work must have been put into this, but none of that's the creepy part. Just imagine what it would be like to live for about a day, and within that time all you would be good for and the most you could accomplish is to create and animate another one of your kind. The ending hit hard for me, especially considering that the second character realized this as well, that they are basically purposeless. That really existential moment of the clock ticking would be overwhelming to any of us.
If any of them failed to make a new one, who knows what would happen, if the time's up before one of them finish and they perish without anything to show for it, the entirity of their legacy could turn to dust, because there would be nobody left animated. Who knows, maybe i read the situation all wrong, but that's the beauty of the lack of context.
Overall, i agree. This isn't scary, nor nightmare-inducing. It's just cold and suspenseful, that's all.
Its because of the mask. Its pretty clear.
Honestly, this is such a sad story. Their entire short life is spent working and desperately hoping for a friend while fighting their extinction.
They don’t die when they disappear, according to the book they just get teleported to outside the workshop
:(
I haven't read the book but if they're hoping for a friend why doesn't the previous creator just make one more since he seemed to have nearly half of the time left when he finished the first one.
@@SC-zl6gs that is exactly what I thought too!!
You mean like... real life? Lol
The fact that this guy is still puting hearts and replying comments after 8 years is amazing
He did it again
What a legend
R/madlad
This girl
well it just shows that its all part of a cycle in some way or another. just boiled down in to one artsy nugget of stop motions animation.
I love how Allegro (I assume that's the Maker's name) slowly begins to smile as he creates the next Maker
Thank you for reading the book!
@@zealouscreative AAAA I LOVED IT SO MUCHHHHH
Just started the book and it is interesting to note how there are a couple contrasts to this film and the opening chapter. The film implies that Allegro was unsure of how to wake Sonata (his successor) and attempted several things before consulting the book for advice. The book gives the impression he was immediately aware that music was the key to her birth.
Also love how the music in this is actually not just part of the narrative, but is actually present in the process of making, and is what Spurs Allegro on with the urgency needed to perform his task.
You can see Allegro attempting several things before consulting the book and, as a last effort, attempting to wake Sonata using music.
@calciummother re-read @NerdTrap 's comment again. He is pointing the differences between the short and the book
I was about to comment the same, in the book the creation process has notable differences
Ty 4 this insight since im not a musician i cant reach that lvl of interpretation. But instead going 4 a more poetic way to take it showing how the circle of life goes and how humanity survives doing a tranference of knowledge but art is what make us want to live. At least that was my take.
When 5 minutes tells a story better than most 90 minute movies, you know its special

Canis Mortem Seems a lot like real life actually.
@@adammartinez8794 yes! Men real lfe in the actually.
I dont know, you start out with someone who loves you who gives you a goal, something to look forward to all througout your life. And in the end having achieved your goal you die in the presence of someone who loves you, whom you have now given a life purpose in return. It doesnt sound so bad to me.
Canis Mortem humanity does all the time it’s years for us not minutes
Yeah, i thought it was just him trying to make a girlfriend at first, but nah, it's more depressing than that.
This short perfectly encapsulates the human condition of picking up the tools of the ones before us time running out scurrying to leave others better off
this is how life feels. doing “what we’re supposed to” until our time runs out just so another person can do the same thing, and we’re told we’re doing something noble. as The Maker finds out in this, the only true form of escape is self-expression
So this is a never ending cycle of creation
Yes
Yes but I believe they are trapped in the cycle, unable to escape. (just what I read from the end.)

This is one of the greatest stop-motion works of all time. All of the details. The implied worldbuilding. The reveal at the end. There is absolutely no dialogue but the story is still communicated so well. Animation truly is storytelling through motion, with this short being a prime example. I have nothing to criticize this short about. Any grievances anybody could have about this animation comes down to a matter of taste and personal opinion. Objectively speaking, this is effectively a perfect work of art.
It’s honestly the epitome of the story of our lives. It’s as soon as we figure out how to make another one of us that we are gone.

This cycle is so sad. So basically what the creature has to do is make a creation and teach it everything they know and give them the book to make their creation and do that same thing.

note to young zoomers and alphas: beings of higher consciousness can break the cycle.
Did I just start a trend-
haven’t seen this in 10 years. wow still beautiful as i remembered.
This is such an amazingly interesting world right here, an endless cycle of makers, presumably never ending just to make themselves once more.
And the animation is stellar, so fluid yet with that stop motion timeless charm
An absolute gem
Not even mentioning the character design, love that

its weirdly wholesome at the end.
This is 11 years old and I only found it today, but it is just on time. Serendipitous.
Art touches a place in your soul that can’t speak for itself and springs forth. Everyone interprets it differently and sees something in it that speaks directly to them.
Your piece was so beautiful, it’s so concise and yet at the end I burst into tears. Time is fleeting. We have such a small window to create something that touches. You have created exactly that. From my heart to yours.
Thank you 🤍.

First watched this when I was in seventh grade. Now, coming back to it, it's almost like watching a completely different production. The artistic peculiarities are almost twice as fascinating as they were when I lasted visited.
Doctor: You have 3 minutes and 55 seconds left to live

11 years ago and still one of the best videos anyone can see ❤🖤
Coming back to this beautiful masterpiece, what I had never noticed was the message it holds. We may look like we have a long time, but it’s possible our end is closer than we fear. When making an accomplishment, it must be passed on to those who need that chance of life. I just read the book since my friend found it in a library near our town and we both really love the video and the book. I notice you also keep up to date with everyone’s comments and it warms my heart to see how after nearly 12 years. A masterpiece should get even more recognition for the story and how life be sometimes. 💜
Thank you 🥰

Creepy? He's adorable!
I think she was supposed to a daughter to him, not a wife. Notice how he took the time to show her the place and teach her what she needed to know, even though she was unable to reciprocate his affection or do anything for him. It's what parents do. They take care of us and when we are finally able to understand and appreciate them, it's often time for them to leave us.
@Mr.Wrapped Hat you mean deep?
@Mr.Wrapped Hat you dont need to apologize lol
That entire paragraph couldn't be any more sad
That's really pondering
That touched me so hard when I realized it was his daughter. It's the unfinished cycle of life.
That's why she was unresponsive at first, just like a child, her mind has to be build and once it's done you can have a brief moment of conscience with your parent before they are gone.
I also love the moment when he closed his eyes while playing. He closes them and gives it his all because he doesn't have time to do it again.
Truly the most magnificent short I ever saw. If I ever lose my memory, I want to see it again. I don't think something will ever make me feel like it again.
This was the video that single handedly inspired me to make a stop motion short by hand. The intricate design of every single prop "The Maker" left me in awe and made me re-watch this video so many times. seeing people make something as beautiful as this always makes me want to do art.
9 years later, and I still find this animation to be on par with block buster films such as Coraline. Everything is so smooth and wonderfully pleasing to the eye. Also, as an added note, the book is absolutely amazing! You guys really lived up the the 'Creative" in your name.
That's high praise. Thank you! We'd really appreciate it if you left a review of the book to help spread the word!
This is my second favorite animation after destino.
А как называется книга?
Let’s all appreciate the other rabbit taking the time to make the OThER rabbit a small vest.
It empathises woman energy care more about making something beautiful rather than something just functional.
Still one of the best short films I've ever saw. 11 years and still give me chills. So beautiful.
Well 11yrs old and this is the first time I've seen it, Im 63 and still get totally mesmerised by things like this. It was totally enchanting and left me wanting more.

After 10 years I still have not found anything more beautiful than this video and the story behind it.
I watched this for the first time in highscool about 10 years ago and while I understood the message then, it really hits home now that I live on my own away from my parents. ❤️
Use your time wisely, and pass along what you know. Memento mori.
I get your message, but i dont think that memento mori fits into this story. This is a story of a never ending cycle, which in itself means that death isn't really important for these two characters. They spend their whole life trying to rebuilt one another, living numerous lifes in the process, or at least thats how i understood this.
I thought it just represented the futility of existence...
I know I’m sad
@@octopustophat9053 I am just saying what made more sense to me. As it is a message about how existence is fragile is a "deep" one as well
I suppose it depends on how a person interprets it. Art brings out something from the viewer (or listener), and that's a pretty good means of determining art from all the pretenders that try to hog the spotlight. As a father of three, I see in this the drive to be a part of the creative process, to bring those we sire to the point where they're able to take the book (so to speak), and do what they have been taught to do. I think it's significant that the male didn't immediately stumble on music as the awakening catalyst, leading me to think that he might have been brought to life by a different means. Like with my children, we all have to find that thing (or things) that will give meaning and purpose to the next generation. It's only then that we can find our own completion. Oh, and we're always under the clock, as this so aptly illustrates.
Dre Productions I have watched it but I know Latin
This kinda reminds me of the way an artist puts their soul into each piece so that in a way after they die they stay alive through their creations... maybe in the same way the people who made this film put their soul to it😌
Meraki
Greek
meraki [may-rah-kee] (adjective)
This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love -- when you put "something of yourself" into what you're doing, whatever it may be. Meraki is often used to describe cooking or preparing a meal, but it can also mean arranging a room, choosing decorations, or setting an elegant table.
Yes! Very odd concept! Weird creature. But we all are! However, my soul felt it!
Saw this a few years ago on Amazon and just wanted to say watching it back makes me nostalgic and I loved watching this beautiful film all over again wish I could watch it for the firsts time again
I always come back since 10 years ago, and always is like when I watched it at the first time ❤
I always come back 💀
In my opinion, this story represents the cycle of human life: when a new generation comes to the world, it aquires the whole knowledge and skills of its parents, gives its greatest efforts to develop it, bring the progeny to the world and convey futher all the wisdom to the youth. When at the end it comes time for elderly to go, they are replaced, and the cycle goes on, yet since the prehistory.
I felt the same
And it means that you should add something
Spot on. Good job.
I think you nailed it. Although art is open for interpretation, as a parent, these were my thoughts as well.
@@Aegelis Another thing to point out is how writing systems allowed mankind to pass on information from previous generations.
I was amazed by this video 10 years ago, I was 13. And after reviewing it after so much time, I can't watch it without tears. This short story touched me to the core. Both then and now. I see it as a reflection of our lives. We are born, we work to leave behind descendants, we live for the sake of others and we devote so little time to ourselves. But life is so short... And only love brings life to our hearts. And, of course, music. Many thanks to the author, the creators of this wonderful cartoon that has sunk into my heart forever. I wish happiness and love to everyone who reads this comment and good luck in life❤

I'm section leader of the horns and am going to be drum major of my marching band. I'm gonna go do music for a living. I want to play music for the rest of my life. This piece changed my world.

i ve discovered this piece of art 6 years ago and it still make me wanna cry. Beautiful!
i love this so much.
this concept of being in this non-stop loop where you race to put your lover together, only to spend a few seconds with them before they have to put you together is beautiful, but also somewhat terrifying.
not to mention the music and animation matches this concept perfectly, because the animation, on a technical level, is amazing, but the designs of the characters and setting also help put together this beautiful but morbid concept, and the music is just the icing on this cake of perfection.
well done, this is truly a beautiful piece of art.
First saw this when I was 11. Now at 20, I'm still in awe of all the artistic little details of not only the characters, but the story. This masterpiece is so impactful that 9 years later, to this day, I can still imagine that hourglass flipping and feel how I felt when I first watched it. Incredible.

Talk about attention to detail! you can see the reflection of him playing the violin in her eyes when they open
It's not a random detail, they probably have that shot just for the purpose of showing the reflection,so the viewer can tell she is watching her while he's playing the violin.
I watched this for the first time like 6 years ago, and i still come back here from time to time, everything about this creation is amazing, no matter how many times i see it.

Its texture is the best one I've seen in a short film on UA-cam.
However, character's expression is not the best one I've see in a short film.
I got its deep meaning, it's amazing, but I don't think everybody is able to easily understand how deep the main idea is embed on character's actions.
it's is
An initially creepy character design became completely charming within the first few moments of the story.
Wach moment with someone we love is eternity, and so precious. Love this for expressing this.
The lesson of the show is that we must cherish our time with our loved ones, because we might not know if they will still be with us in the upcoming days.
The book doesn't really say that, beautiful way of interpreting the animation though.

What I love is when he disappears, he seems to join everything around him. He became apart of the magic in that studio. Idk why but I love that.
(Edit: wow! Honored for the like❤️ fantastic work)
If I was one of them I would probably have had ruined the loop
XD
Then you'd be the main character of the book
or perhaps expand the loop? make 3 instead of 1? 3 make 9? ...
Me too, among all of my siblings, I'm the stupidest one XD
If I was one of them, it would look like the ugliest thing because I rushed, or it would be unfinished because I keep redoing it because it looks ugly.
This was made 8 years ago
And it’s better than most clay animations nowadays
i mean not really
@@boponthewee7585 it really is
@@ferneagle5393 i mean im gonna be honest they havent really been getting worse though
@@ferneagle5393 not to mention some parts look a little awkward
I mean, we dont really have Clays animations that much
He’s amazing at the violin for being so young
So I have lost count the number of times I have rewatched this short over the years. I ran into it in college when I was studying film, now I'm sharing it with my two sons who both gasp in wide eyed wonder at the world you created.
To me, this video is a great example of parenting. Parents put all the time they have into nurturing us, loving us, and educating us. And they're always looking at the clock because it reminds them of their limited time to be with us. And to prepare us for the world. And when they're gone. It's up to us to restart the cycle all over again.
The best way to honor your old ones is to take good care of your young ones
I saw this when I was younger feeling disturbed of how everything looked, I come back after several years and it still weirds me out but in a good way. I admire the work behind the scenes 👌
me senti igual !!!
He's kinda cute in a way...! Uwu
omg, and what is the malnourished giant doing here? you know the battle cats are also locked in an neverending loop of battling and winning.
There is twenty one 1000 comments and you have hearted most of them. Not only do I respect you for the skill of the video I admire your dedication to the fans. Who love this stuff. Two Thumbs up 10/10
It's a small effort on our behalf to acknowledge the people still watching and commenting on our work 🥰
came across this video in 2012-2013 and i still watch it, i love it so much
The Violin. The sound effects. The Stop-motion. Everything about this is (in my opinion) absolutely perfect. This is hands down the BEST animation I’ve seen.
Je confirme : cette animation et son propos sont d’une finesse extrême. Très poignant. Une émotion rare.
The 5.5K people that disliked this video is just jealous of your creativity.
5.6K lol
I encourage anyone who really understands the meaning of this piece of wisdom, to forgive the people who dislike this: perhaps is they simply cannot face the - undeniably hard - truth that other ones suspect - or perhaps even realize - about life and transcendence.
It is already difficult in life for a common good person, to save and keep a humble legacy and make others receive it.
..
... but if you even try to enhance that heritage, the only chance you have for achieving that, is to become a genius, a leader, or probably both, and that gets so difficult as becoming one in a million in the right way.
Maybe they were australians who tried to upvote instead
5k people who scared this faces
There are lots of degenerate children on this platform, or better say on the entire internet. They fear reality so their only defense against it is to be negative about it. Often when someone says the truth they call you a hater, abuser etc even tho the irony is they are those exact things. Later when that "told you so" moment comes they pull a victim card like it will magically justify their ignorant and idiotic way of life and somehow change anything. The damage has been done and the only enemy is your own self not being a realist, accepting facts and using common sense. Same thing with disslikes, you are being negative about someone's creativity and message, that is it, you can't undone the damage, you have spoken who you are.
I watched it when I was 5, and loved it! I found it 10 years later and now I play the violin ❤️
10 years, and I still watch this!
This animation was and forever will be one of my greatest inspirations to be a stop motion animator
Good luck! Can't wait to see it :)
