hunger-la faim (part1)

[TheDoctorGrenade]

technically the first computer animation

[setpunk12]

beautiful

[gmancraplol]

Classic. 

[DoubleM55]

Wow, 1974!!!, I would be pretty hard to do this today even with technology like flash... And they still managed to make it back then... Amazing...

[synthastia]

Man is the music awesome, and the synth breakdown at 3:30 is phenomenal.

[MatrixRefugee]

Very artistic: the music reminds me of Kraftwerk and the animation style... There are moments you forget it's not traditional animation, and moments when it's so fluid, it's almost better than the glossy form of CGI that's ubiquitous today.

[TheChembalin]

lol this music.....is sooo ominous D: like a clock that counts out this guys life....it is like frantic tic tic tic toc D: Whoever made this is absolute genious, and the music perfectly suits the morphing scenes D:

[SincereCreature]

@TheChembalin I agree fully!

[XMeHowX]

You're wrong. First, the guy is from Budapest. Second, Foldès' goal is to use the principle of morphing, of transformation, to create the evolution in the plot. That is why each scene is part of the previous one and so on. The fact that he is getting fatter is just a way of creating stress and anxiety, same for the music and the cold atmosphere. (Sorry, my english isn't as fluent as my french)

[TheDoctorGrenade]

@XMeHowX Pretty damn good English. I don't know what you are apologizing for

[Montork]

gave me fucking nightmares as a kid. worst part is, ive always been and still am fat. even if i work hard and eat moderately. it doesn't really bother me, but it bothers other people. every time someone makes a big deal out of my weight i end up thinking of this cartoon. long live the french idea that everyone whose even slightly fat gluts themselves 24/7

[Pulits]

This is one motherfuckin scary movie

[Daan892]

From all the animation shorts/movies I've watched, this is the first one that able to terrifies and disturbs me. But, still, it's awesome!! Actually, Toy Story 3 is also scary and disturbing, but not scary and disturbing as this!

[CandyBekah]

this is some freaky shit...

[Ritzuka24]

awesome!

[avisualfeel]

This makes me so,so,so, hungry! A great metaphor for our many different appetites!

[soyjuice888]

@avisualfeel hahaha

[DaDoc540]

This film has to be shown to people in modern nations today, especially in the United States. Probably might have to do a little editing out or censoring at certan parts to keep the religious reactionaries from crying foul, though.

[rush211289]

i like the transformations

[rush211289]

See, foldes had to be high, but yet he was a genious at the same time to do this is 1974. what does that tell you? haha. amazing stuff

[memphiselle]

This is awesome.

[tamenga88]

Brilliant film.

Amazing what computers were capable of in 1974.

[trucanuck14]

Ny uncle was the one who invented key frame animation used to make this. No word of a lie.

[JoTokutora]

@trucanuck14

Hello, could you pm me? I have been working with a university creating auto inbetweens for animation for several years now. I would like to share our progress with you uncle if that is a possibility.

[KURDISHkamz]

The process was a breakthrough in modeling techniques: characters were able to fill and rise freely in the air and rotate around themselves creating a three-dimensional illusion. The computer animation which he explored in the 1960's in France used graphic metamorphosis to carry the action, rather than traditional cutting or editing techniques, creating a dreamlike flow of constantly changing subject matter.

[KURDISHkamz]

The system he used was developed to deal with animation in-betweening. The computer system created images between the key poses of a sequence. This process was an extension of conventional animation processes.

[zararaab]

I am looking for anyone who knew Peter Foldes and can tell me about the years before he died in 1977. I knew him slightly in 1968-1969 when I work briefly doing animation drawings. He was a prolific painter--the canvases dark and covered with writing in German and French--as well as filmmaker. I wonder what happened to his paintings, and if his films are available in another format? Why isn't his biography on Wikipedia? Anyone who knows more about this extraordinary artist, please respond. ZR

[MeagerBlackCat]

Incredible amount of work! Never would have known it was so old!

[wanabeswordsman]

Holy crap, that had to be the best animation I've ever seen, especially considering the year it was made! Absolutely fantastic!

[EFFANDJEFF]

WOW! How on earth did he do this in 1974?!

This is incredible animation.

[extremejon]

1:52 TRANSFORM AND ROLL OUT

[brgrz]

this video showed up computers can create in between drawings and show morphing

[JinEfreet]

Oh man, brilliant. Even if it is disturbing as hell.

[ch7ostheory]

great.

[arcticjungle6]

must watch on acid

[Bizarronumber4]

I saw this on ABC TV here in Australia back in the 80s. It was the first time I'd seen anything by Peter Foldes. I thought the end sequence was straight out of a Bosch painting.

[Overfiend002]

When i was little i remember seeing this cartoon and having nightmares for days later. The ending is what scared me the most... still scares me *shiver*

[ddixon06]

Does Peter Foldes have a large body of work such as this or is this the only thing?

[burnmaker01]

saw this on mojo.. excellent!!!!!!!!!

[asdfglkjh10]

fucking borring

[darinsavesthedays]

probably because you're a tool.

[jmorocksfancyclothes]

fucking love this

[reuillois]

Incroyable et magnifique, surtout sur la forme, mais le fond ne pêche pas.

[smithrs]

Is this available on DVD anywhere?

[SCROOBA12345]

This is clearly the first example/demonstration of what in later years was referred to as the "morph" effect, and for which a fraudulent loser named Tom Brigham took full credit and received a technical academy award for. He also cheats when playing Scrabble with his friends.

[radiofreejuan]

This is the first example of keyframe animation

[Kimcee4younme]

Yes, it is, if you ignore what "Keyframing" means.

It's the first example of animation done on a Computer.

[jasdecoy]

Yes, you are absolutely right! But what was the name of the Quebecer programmer?

[MINESWEEP2k]

WHOA! All THIS before Terminator 2! Great funky music, also!

-MINESWEEP

[ExistentiaDementia]

Thanks so much for posting this. I was hoping someone would. So fucking good!!

[fripp13]

Yes!
