I dunno, seems to me like his childhood was healthy enough for him to have developed a sense of societal awareness to the extent that he could make a satirical animated film about the opioid crisis already by the age of 16. Is the society he grew up in pretty damn messed up, though? Oh yes, absolutely.
i love when people see something dark different and creative they assume either the person is fucked up or on drugs. maybe you should widen your scopes and accept alternative art and media without labeling its creator and making assumptions about the artist
Being able to see the reality as it is, and the system we live in, just take a pair of eyes and a brain. Even blind people are able to “see”. So it’s the brain.
@@GrahamChapman I don't think it's about the opioid crisis, I think it's about capitalism in general. The big guys at the top literally expect us to give our bodies up to them for just a little bit of cash, which we "need", or at least that's the narrative they propagate to us.

+mattricks21 Oh, you too? As a reward for your discovery I will share with you my opinion. :D The scene from 2:03 (that one with the bridge). The Killer Pig slashed his back to inject himself with a coin, on which there is a quote: "All pigs can fly". Now look at the graffitis. In conclusion: There are more junkies which are admitting the coin's quote. "All pigs can fly" "I AGREE." "As do I
+Masta_Artista the grafitti represents the brainwashed masses and what lies they are fed. I dissagree though that the grafitti is related to the coin. The "I AGREE - so do i" is more implying that there is no need for a topic to agree. "All pigs can fly" is also part of the lies the pigs are fed up on, just like the "everything is as it should be".
I think coins represent money, and this pig desided to spend them on drugs. It would be a little stupid to make a black market that only gets you drugs.
"All pigs can fly," could easily stand in for "anyone can rise to the top/pull yourself up by your bootstraps." This expresses a very real critique of the faux meritocracy of capitalism. Money is the drug that provides momentary satisfaction in the squalid world that surrounds them. They gain coins, even though their material conditions are not improved, and the man lives in relative comfort at the top of a tower feeding off of their bodies: the fruits of their labors. This is by no fault of the pigs, even the uninitiated are cut, and given a knife to destroy their fellow laborers in order to seek fleeting comfort. They are born into that desperation.
This guy is actually pretty smart and clever instead of him assassinating other pigs by himself to eat he made coins as drugs to make other pigs kill each other and bring body parts of themselves or others and as a way of a lazy but smart idea to eat without starving
I don't think it's post apocalyptic, there's far too much established productivity. I think it's just a really dark interpretation of big cities and how money can be leveraged to gain more money often through exploitation of those without.

The worlds Felix creates leave an impact on you. Whenever I finish a video of his, I always feel a sense of unease, like someone took my brain into the backroom of a dusty bar and let it walk around in a place that seems too fantastical to be real, but, emotionally, there's something that hooks you and travels with you for some time after the experience. The feeling eventually boils down to some primal kind of anxiety that flares up whenever you reflect upon it. It's like if a Terry Gillliam cartoon grabbed your head and made you share its idea of reality. It's just exhilarating. I absolutely love this man's work.
Not only is this a great animation, but it has such a genius theme behind it as the pigs change when they get money and begin to do anything for more of it.

I like how contrary to his dumb expression, the 04L Pig is secretly the smartest character in the short. He knows this whole thing's a scheme by the pale, eyeless man. So he did the only thing he could do to not only refrain from killing his fellow swine, but also not fall for the money trap. Just sit there and hope the rest of the pigs follow. Then sooner or later, the eyeless man would starve.

@Cookiesnjam Yeah for some reason I decided to make it even harder by doing this on the mobile app. Which wont let you play the video unless you throw away the comment your currently writing, so i ended up “copy & paste”-ing several times. As for looking back and forth that was constant. Had lots of practice in school when they would force us to write notes after all. I was surprised that there wasn’t already a comment like this especially on such on old video. So i took it upon myself.
There’s so much to unravel in this. To be made by a 16 year old is insane. One might first assume that it’s about addiction, but in reality it’s about human nature, and our addiction to life, and to success. When he first walks into the office, and we see 4K go through the transaction, we see him get a coin, which he offers the head and parts of another he has killed, offering the pain and suffering of another, taking the burden off of himself while still carrying out the duties of the burden himself. He receives the coin, which could be a metaphor for drugs, but could also be a metaphor for anything materialistic. He gets that good feeling, the materialistic high, and feels as if he’s flying while in reality he is laying face down next to a toxic river waiting for the high to be over. For his money to run out, for whatever one bought to lose it’s newness, for another desire to give him initiative to put the burden of his pain on someone else in order for him to get a coin once again. The second, 4L, who is late, I assume has given up. I don’t really know to be honest. The third, 4M, gives up something near to her, assuming she can not bare the burden of killing or giving pain to someone else for her own betterment. And then we have 4N. Who is new to it all. First entering the world of human nature. He does not know the tactic of putting the burden on someone else, so he takes it himself, unable to live without the coin, without money, or the drug, or whatever he has connected to happiness. The trader of the coin knows this, and gives pain to the pigs because he knows they need the coin, and knows they will give pain to others in response to him giving pain to him. From a societal perspective, this would be almost like a pyramid scheme, although that would mean all of capitalism/free market/human nature is a pyramid scheme. Someone on top holding power, selling something good to someone in return for a burden (work, money, etc.) which they can pass to someone below them in order to displace the burden from themselves, and so on. The coin is only a vessel for the obtainment of power of the holder of power, the holder of the coin. The coin is not what he desires, what he desires is real power, which the lower class believes is the coin. Money is not truly equal to power. Power is the ability to get people to do what you want. You’re power to manipulate the world around you depends on your understanding of it. And the holder of the coin understands that the coin itself is just a vessel to get people to work for him. The people that work for him see that, and get people to work for them, however they see the coin as success, as power (ie: money is power). They believe that with the coin they can become powerful, and use the coin to manipulate more people and get more coins. The flaw in this mindset is that they themselves desire the coin, and will always work just for the coin. They do not realize that the ones who are truly powerful simply work towards manipulating others into desiring what they already have. As such, the entire world desires what the top 1% have, money. However that would trap them in an eternal battle for money, leading to tactics in order to achieve money, not realizing that with an entire society planning and making tactics to earn money, the people holding the coin have thus tricked them into battling each other and trapped them in a trade of money for power and power for money, time for money and money for time, all while spending the money on things they enjoy, things that bring them happiness, essentially wasting it on the game of the illusion of power. I hope this was comprehensible but coming from a 16 year old this video was incredibly idealistic and introspective.
It could also be construed as our addiction to materialism and monetary gain. To the point where we let our lives become enveloped by it. Where we give away our entire lives for some sense of "success" based on the digits in our bank account. Similar to the way opiods and alcohol may easily consume the lives of their users.
You are the most talented animator I have ever seen. Only 16? I mean, I have seen 12 year olds animate good but this? This looks like something that would be a real show!
it should be in Thrill.. if yah dont know what thrill is its a channel where everything is horror. but this would be a horror cartoon so what do u think?
This is poetry in terms of expression toward war. Money for death, drug habits formed from ptsd, kill everything for less pay than the ones that pay you. Draft is no choice and it's by force, you are a statistic and a number, your life is worth less than the ones you kill for. Surrealist expression of war? A+
Look up a channel called TristanGrunts, all his videos about a specific subject were shown in class. In one he starts talking about Larry Flynt and Hustler porn mags.
I Really Love it I could Watch this over & over Again its so Strange & insane Except...Bloody & this is my Favorite video of this Universe & everyone Does not like the Way it is💜
And now, what was going through my head while watching this “I made this for school” Oh, this’ll be good ... Alright, seems like it’s gonna be a little weird, but it has some charm ... Wait, what does that say? Oh, ok, just a funny little Easte- sexual activities? Ok... that caught me off guard. ... WHAT THE FUCK? THIS WAS FOR SCHOOL???
Its a visualization of how far people will go to get drugs (the quarters in the animation), even if it means taking another life. The creepy old guy is the dealer, the pigs are drug addicts and the little snippets of other dimensions are side effects of whatever drug they received
Holy smokes, 2009? 16?? In flash??? This shows how amazing technology has become- with traditional animation, he'd be making public animations MUCH later- being limited to film. I feel unhappy now because most of my childhood was spent playing games on a linux machine...
I like how it's a video made solely based on perception and is open to interpretation as any piece of art should be. And then there's the fucking comment section.
The pigs are people and what they offer is work and time, the guy giving them money is their boss and in the end he gets to enjoy the fruit of his capital.
Depends what job you have. If you're some master engineer and know some plant biology you could just house and feed your family and continue on making money, or structures and mechanisms to benefit your family.
As I watch these videos, I find myself drawing the message Felix Colgrave may purposefully or unknowingly conveyed. For this video, the pigpen: We, the fat and gluttonous, pay money for pig parts to consume them, adding onto all the fat that we constantly try to hide. But pigs are smart creatures. Why are we killing and eating pigs if they are smart? People are smart, and we don't kill and eat people (aside from cannibals). And then too, this video shows how desperate people are for money. It compares people to helpless pigs, as if those that desperate for money are nothing more than animals compared to the "man" with the money. A pig gave up her baby for money, and painfully watched it slaughtered in front of her. A pig gave the skin on its back. But, smarter pigs learn that instead of giving pieces of themselves, they can kill for money. All of these are worldly examples of how human society operates. Selling slaves, killing for body parts to put on the black market, selling babies or otherwise getting rid of them. And there was the scene that shows what those so desperate for money end up doing with that money. Drugs or other useless outlets that don't help with ending the torment. The other scene, with the coin in the refrigerator symbolizes what money equivalates to - food. Most of the struggles in real life society boil down to having the capability to take care of basic needs. It's not easy. In fact it's hard, and made harder by 'the man with the money'. The man with the money is the one calling the shots, because otherwise there won't be any means to stay alive. You better do whatever that man with the money says or else you're dead and no one cares. The hardships we go through to stay alive are so intense, it is no wonder many turn to cheap thrills such as drugs. It makes them feel good in a world that is otherwise horrifying. "EVERYTHING IS AS IT SHOULD BE" says only the man with the money.
I have never read something more fucking ignorant, pigs are considered to be one of the smartest animals, clearly more intelligent than you are. And if you don't believe me, you can read about scientists who study pigs and how they act and think, with proven tests showing they are, indeed, very intelligent animals.
Everyone's talking about how good of an artist this 16 year old was, I'm concerned about how messed up this boys childhood was
I dunno, seems to me like his childhood was healthy enough for him to have developed a sense of societal awareness to the extent that he could make a satirical animated film about the opioid crisis already by the age of 16. Is the society he grew up in pretty damn messed up, though? Oh yes, absolutely.

I like how contrary to his dumb expression, the 04L Pig is secretly the smartest character in the short. He knows this whole thing's a scheme by the pale, eyeless man. So he did the only thing he could do to not only refrain from killing his fellow swine, but also not fall for the money trap. Just sit there and hope the rest of the pigs follow. Then sooner or later, the eyeless man would starve.
I think it's a she but I agree smartest out of the short.

Yeah for some reason I decided to make it even harder by doing this on the mobile app. Which wont let you play the video unless you throw away the comment your currently writing, so i ended up “copy & paste”-ing several times. As for looking back and forth that was constant. Had lots of practice in school when they would force us to write notes after all.
I was surprised that there wasn’t already a comment like this especially on such on old video. So i took it upon myself.
How long is you co men t I read that for half an hour

Semedian You have not discovered the true meaning of life, child.
@@imsupergodd1514 let's discover the real meaning together comrade
There’s so much to unravel in this. To be made by a 16 year old is insane. One might first assume that it’s about addiction, but in reality it’s about human nature, and our addiction to life, and to success. When he first walks into the office, and we see 4K go through the transaction, we see him get a coin, which he offers the head and parts of another he has killed, offering the pain and suffering of another, taking the burden off of himself while still carrying out the duties of the burden himself. He receives the coin, which could be a metaphor for drugs, but could also be a metaphor for anything materialistic. He gets that good feeling, the materialistic high, and feels as if he’s flying while in reality he is laying face down next to a toxic river waiting for the high to be over. For his money to run out, for whatever one bought to lose it’s newness, for another desire to give him initiative to put the burden of his pain on someone else in order for him to get a coin once again. The second, 4L, who is late, I assume has given up. I don’t really know to be honest. The third, 4M, gives up something near to her, assuming she can not bare the burden of killing or giving pain to someone else for her own betterment. And then we have 4N. Who is new to it all. First entering the world of human nature. He does not know the tactic of putting the burden on someone else, so he takes it himself, unable to live without the coin, without money, or the drug, or whatever he has connected to happiness. The trader of the coin knows this, and gives pain to the pigs because he knows they need the coin, and knows they will give pain to others in response to him giving pain to him. From a societal perspective, this would be almost like a pyramid scheme, although that would mean all of capitalism/free market/human nature is a pyramid scheme. Someone on top holding power, selling something good to someone in return for a burden (work, money, etc.) which they can pass to someone below them in order to displace the burden from themselves, and so on. The coin is only a vessel for the obtainment of power of the holder of power, the holder of the coin. The coin is not what he desires, what he desires is real power, which the lower class believes is the coin. Money is not truly equal to power. Power is the ability to get people to do what you want. You’re power to manipulate the world around you depends on your understanding of it. And the holder of the coin understands that the coin itself is just a vessel to get people to work for him. The people that work for him see that, and get people to work for them, however they see the coin as success, as power (ie: money is power). They believe that with the coin they can become powerful, and use the coin to manipulate more people and get more coins. The flaw in this mindset is that they themselves desire the coin, and will always work just for the coin. They do not realize that the ones who are truly powerful simply work towards manipulating others into desiring what they already have. As such, the entire world desires what the top 1% have, money. However that would trap them in an eternal battle for money, leading to tactics in order to achieve money, not realizing that with an entire society planning and making tactics to earn money, the people holding the coin have thus tricked them into battling each other and trapped them in a trade of money for power and power for money, time for money and money for time, all while spending the money on things they enjoy, things that bring them happiness, essentially wasting it on the game of the illusion of power. I hope this was comprehensible but coming from a 16 year old this video was incredibly idealistic and introspective.

“And above all, try and enjoy yourself.” Yup.
It could also be construed as our addiction to materialism and monetary gain. To the point where we let our lives become enveloped by it. Where we give away our entire lives for some sense of "success" based on the digits in our bank account. Similar to the way opiods and alcohol may easily consume the lives of their users.

This is poetry in terms of expression toward war. Money for death, drug habits formed from ptsd, kill everything for less pay than the ones that pay you. Draft is no choice and it's by force, you are a statistic and a number, your life is worth less than the ones you kill for. Surrealist expression of war? A+
Brilliant

Its a visualization of how far people will go to get drugs (the quarters in the animation), even if it means taking another life. The creepy old guy is the dealer, the pigs are drug addicts and the little snippets of other dimensions are side effects of whatever drug they received

True Story
Depends what job you have. If you're some master engineer and know some plant biology you could just house and feed your family and continue on making money, or structures and mechanisms to benefit your family.
You know what they say. Major in what you truly love and you'll never work a day in your life, because that field probably isn't hiring.
2 serious 4 me
As I watch these videos, I find myself drawing the message Felix Colgrave may purposefully or unknowingly conveyed.
For this video, the pigpen:
We, the fat and gluttonous, pay money for pig parts to consume them, adding onto all the fat that we constantly try to hide.
But pigs are smart creatures. Why are we killing and eating pigs if they are smart? People are smart, and we don't kill and eat people (aside from cannibals).
And then too, this video shows how desperate people are for money. It compares people to helpless pigs, as if those that desperate for money are nothing more than animals compared to the "man" with the money.
A pig gave up her baby for money, and painfully watched it slaughtered in front of her. A pig gave the skin on its back. But, smarter pigs learn that instead of giving pieces of themselves, they can kill for money.
All of these are worldly examples of how human society operates. Selling slaves, killing for body parts to put on the black market, selling babies or otherwise getting rid of them.
And there was the scene that shows what those so desperate for money end up doing with that money. Drugs or other useless outlets that don't help with ending the torment.
The other scene, with the coin in the refrigerator symbolizes what money equivalates to - food.
Most of the struggles in real life society boil down to having the capability to take care of basic needs. It's not easy. In fact it's hard, and made harder by 'the man with the money'.
The man with the money is the one calling the shots, because otherwise there won't be any means to stay alive. You better do whatever that man with the money says or else you're dead and no one cares.
The hardships we go through to stay alive are so intense, it is no wonder many turn to cheap thrills such as drugs. It makes them feel good in a world that is otherwise horrifying.
"EVERYTHING IS AS IT SHOULD BE" says only the man with the money.
Oh
That would be real if the pigs where actually intelligent and if they won't do the same thing for money
I have never read something more fucking ignorant, pigs are considered to be one of the smartest animals, clearly more intelligent than you are. And if you don't believe me, you can read about scientists who study pigs and how they act and think, with proven tests showing they are, indeed, very intelligent animals.
The coins are drugs i.e they will give up anything for drugs
Wow,wonderful to know,and by the way,I didn't read a thing you said
