THE STRESSFUL ADVENTURES OF BOXHEAD & ROUNDHEAD - Crumb Factory

[DrThemoWorm]

This is stupidly catchy. I kinda wish it was longer though.

[Elliotanimated]

@TheAnonymousAspie - I'm not sure what is so confusing. Perhaps you can clarify your question.

[TEriguine]

NIce!

[Notebooked]

Oooh, very interesting.

I like the animating style a lot; Boxhead and Roundhead are very...eerily charming, if that makes any sense. Like friendly ghosts; you want to like them, and you do, but there's still something oddly off about them both.

Not to mention those flutes. Oh man, that...that is just unnerving. Still, though; a very cute, well-animated short. And for being able to make any kind of short, I applaud you.

[Elliotanimated]

Thanks Notebook.

If you forward me an address I'll send you a B&R DVD.

[jbofortuna]

I like this song but can't find it. Does it have a different title than Crumb Factory?

[Elliotanimated]

Sure - it's called Employee of The Month.

[PessimisticEscapist]

Great video. I love your style of animation. Great song too. :)

[Elliotanimated]

Thanks.

If you email me your postal address I'll send you a DVD of all the Boxhead and Roundhead films : )

[PessimisticEscapist]

Really?  Does it cost anything?

[Elliotanimated]

Nope!

[Bearfoot]

is that deal for everyone?

I liked this vid sence I saw it.. :D

[Elliotanimated]

Yep.

It sure is.

[Elliotanimated]

Because the rest of them I don't mind if they download.

In fact, I encourage it.

[musictriangle97]

Hahaha no, but I just thought that you were just like a copy and paster or whatever...

That's really cool though :]]

[Elliotanimated]

Oh I getcha : )

Yep - it's all my handiwork.

[24onepiece]

boxhead and roundhead At Sea

if you took that 1 video down, why didnt you take the others down, ppl can still mp4 the other vids

[musictriangle97]

Oh wow, I didn't know you animated this!!!!!

I LOVE it.

[Elliotanimated]

I sure did - do I know you?

[damanfrommars]

you're very good at animating

[Elliotanimated]

Thanks Dan.

I do my best.

[damanfrommars]

lol my names mike, it da man from mars , what program do you use?

[Elliotanimated]

After Effects mostly, Mike (I misread yer name there).

[24onepiece]

what happened to ur vid boxhead and roundhead At Sea???

[Elliotanimated]

Well, I was always happy to have them on Youtube but I realised they'd created a situation where you could download the mp4 onto your own machine, which didn't seem very sporting.

I felt compelled to take them down.

If you forward me your address I can send you a DVD.

[Funkadelicmang]

You reply to EVERYTHING.

[Elliotanimated]

I'm pretty busy but I do my best.

[poliser0]

Thats something special in your animation, It makes them diferent. I simply love them.

[Elliotanimated]

Thanks Poliser.

If you're on Facebook you should join the B&R group for updates and news and stuff.

[musictriangle97]

this honestly has no point.... i love it =]

[Elliotanimated]

I'm glad you love it, but I think it has a little bit of a point....

[57goldtoplespaul]

What album is this song off of?

[Elliotanimated]

It's from a bonus CD that went out with The Else.

[LavosXII]

Got here from the TMBWiki. Real ace stuff here, great job!

[Elliotanimated]

Thanks Lavos.

Make sure you tell your friends.

[geeko55]

Just heard this a few days ago, and BAM! stuck in my head, found myself singing it seconds after watching it. Man, TMBG is the best, and thanks for making this.

[Elliotanimated]

It's my pleasure, and yes, TMBG are indeed the best.

They rock!

[mushroomdolls]

ian im sry u love a polka band so much

[geeko55]

Once again, they aren't polka just becuase of the accordian, which isn't even in this song. And ben, I'm sorry my opinion and taste in music differs from yours.

[NvPGulstab]

It's called "alternative", fucktard.

[Elliotanimated]

Now then kids, play nice or you'll be sent inside without any supper.

[NvPGulstab]

Since when do I go outside...?

[geeko55]

No Supper?! :O But we just got a whole bunch of Krummen!

[Elliotanimated]

You gotta love the Krummen...

[NvPGulstab]

Indeed, I do love sweet, sweet Krummen...

[ambroziak]

great! what program are you using to blur the foreground?

[Elliotanimated]

After Effects, the same program as I'm using to animate the rest of it.

[ambroziak]

that's what i figured. i haven't had a chance to mess with after effects yet, i would really like to, how do you feel its difficulty level is compared to flash?

[Elliotanimated]

Well, it does different things to Flash.

I prefer it (and HATE Flash).

[kapitankartoon]

AWESOME!

[Elliotanimated]

THANKS!

[asteriskpix]

It's a little disturbing, the German is.

It's a little "arbeit macht frei", you know, with the German.

That's what makes it stressful. "Drang", more accurately.

[Elliotanimated]

Hey - that must be Richard, yeah?

[lilynick1]

Nice one Elliot! Great to see our two heroes so eager to get out of bed in the morning and head off to work. Even if it is a crumby job!

[Elliotanimated]

Indeed.

Not a very stressful adventure.

People have been asking for one for some time...

[lextream]

That was cool once again. Congrats on getting your previous films sold! You'll probably get an even wider exposure now + you're actually making money to invest in more high quality stuff (or drugs... whichever you choose, I'm sure you'll make more 'spacey' stuff :p) Keep up the good work Elliot!

BIGUP!

- Relex

[Elliotanimated]

Well hopefully so.

And my drug of choice is love.

[lextream]

well yeah but you cant buy that :P

[Elliotanimated]

That's not strictly true...

[TheMcCart]

I'd call you a sellout, but I can't argue with success without it being out of jealousy. So Congratulations on selling your films!

[Elliotanimated]

I am quite happy to be a sellout if there's money involved.

[TheMcCart]

hahaha. Amen to that.

[MCGEE1115]

I love B&R.

What are theY going to do with the old vidz?

are you going to make more?

[Elliotanimated]

They are going to distribute them in any avenue of their choosing, and of course I'll make more.

I have one in particular planned.

[Melorama2000]

Crumby!! Awesome focusing techniques. Keep up the good work!

[Elliotanimated]

It's not exactly a technique as such, but thank you anyway.

[CatherineCrowe]

Excellent! As always looking forward to it.

[CatherineCrowe]

Love it.  Love the mix of animation and real photos. As always, well done.

[Elliotanimated]

Thanks Catherine - I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm currently plotting my next full B&R adventure too.

[GitGitaar]

I LOVE B&R!!!!

[Elliotanimated]

GitGitaar loves B&R.

It's a little song.

[bottlesofbeer]

Brotkrumen. Sehr lecker.

[Elliotanimated]

Cheers Mr Meyer!

[maynereport]

fantastic! I feel like bread

[Elliotanimated]

You look like it too!

[Shoysrock]

They were sold to be distributed? That's fantastic! Congratulations! They're awesome cartoons!

[Elliotanimated]

Thanks - I think so too!

[borishiestand]

I love krumen. There are some on my shoulder and belly as I type this.

[Elliotanimated]

You should fins a small dog to lick them off.

[screamphoenixe]

thanks i liked that!

[Elliotanimated]

Thanks! I like that you liked that.

[fuzzball11001]

the happiness of boxhead and roundhead.... makes me wonder what could possibly go wrong. great work elliot :)

[Elliotanimated]

The agony and misery began after the music finished...

[iamFenny]

Tmbg ftw! Another awesome, Elliot. Love the part at 1:06 :D

[Elliotanimated]

I prefer the part at 1:05.

[iamFenny]

o rly?

[Munchy365]

i liked the graphics and the music fit... but i hope you go back to the kind of music you had in the others cause if this one was actually a "stressful adventure" like the rest, it would not have fit very well.

[Elliotanimated]

I will sometime.

Originally, the others all had music like this too.

And no, it's not really a very stressful adventure.

So many people were asking for a disaster free ending and I gave them one (accidentally).

[NannaLaurie]

awesome song, and animation!!! I loooove it!!

[Elliotanimated]

It is an awesome song.

I wish I had permission to use it!

[frankrause]

Radness!

[Elliotanimated]

You have radness of your very own, Fran!

[Wonderboy0046]

I loved "At sea"

[Elliotanimated]

You'll see it again one day if you email me and ask real nice.

[itstheownage]

love these

[Elliotanimated]

Thanks!
