  • Ok I basically watched this like....ok this is lame....and then that monster thing made little fishes eat the birdthing from the inside out...uck. Definately a jaw-dropper.

  • The creature looks like the monster from The Host.

  • These creatures seem so intentionally civilized in their behavior, it makes it more frightening. We become what we eat or what we eat becomes what we eat? Scary moral!

  • Moral of the story: Chew your food.

  • @curlybob64

    a good mood is never leaving you - is it ?

  • Well honestly, there are animals today that do that already, granted they aren't That big but they do things like that. If this short had a message to it I'm not getting it lol

  • LOL. xD

  • That's why you kill things before you eat them and if you don't recognise them take them to an expert, tad horrifying regardless.

  • Who created that was realy, very sick! (doh)

  • <:C

  • Reminds me to the Zophobas eaten by a lizard ... terrible

  • Comment removed

  • You may be interested to see a version of this wonderful animation with an alternative sound design. Follow my profile to have a look/listen, any opinions on it would be great! I've also written about how I came up with it on my website which can be got at through my profile.

  • if u guys can notice starting video the guy have 6 pads and almost ending like no pad already .. thumbs up if u think so too

  • thats what u get by eatting life thing ...

  • The hunter being hunted - very fascinating!

  • That will makes me have nightmares for a lot of nights now ._.

  • wow o.O that was unpredictible o.O cool work :D

  • @Drraygun check out salad fingers here on YouTube. Might be what you are looking for

  • @XiTwink i have its great but not what i ment

  • tha bad thing about awesome things like this...is they are always toooooooooooooooooo short....we need a tv series for things like this....but alas people are too scared...gotta have tha same old tv cop show filth

  • @drraygun I feel like making this too long would spoil the magic of this tragic short film.

    Also, remember that one person made this. It takes a lot of time and effort.

  • @PYates77 not make this one show longer....i mean more things like it being around at all...in movies and tv and everything

  • The music makes it seem even more haunting than it is

  • <3 the music o.o

  • Amazing :)

    

  • something is wring with who ever made this. very very creepy

  • @aNa5I Small fish gets eaten by medium fish, medium fish gets eaten by bigger fish. It's life! Like how jelly fish don't actually sting with electiricity, they inject poison to stun their prey (like what happened in this video) and then digest it some how. Worse things happen that are human caused, but like the creator said he wanted to show a "natural" event. Read the uploader comment.

  • M. Night Shyamalan twist in the end. He became the hunted one.

  • @spikytiger It was great! I'd say make more videos like this and you'll end up with a business. I'd definitely pay to see a short like this. Keep up the good work! :D

  • Well i could easily read something useful out of this. The hunter can become the hunted. Nothing is set in stone. Nothing may seem as it is.

  • 0.0

  • that was very cool..lol .. the story was a little creepy but the animation was awesome.

  • Whast is the music?

  • Creepy...very creepy...

  • All my due respect but this is disgusting. I had to look away at the end. Those kind of animals were the creepiest thing I've ever seen. Anyway, nice job.

  • i havent understand its message

  • @SotirisVS moral: chew your food before swallowing :D

  • speluznante

  • ah thats horrible. to see the good guy die.

  • @saphfire333 you do not know if he is good

    you,ve just identified with him, what is really easy to do

    i think this is cause by the why how narration is done

    and the anthropomorphic look like of the hero

  • Вывод: не ешь, что не знаешь, а особенно в живом виде.

  • thats nasty

  • Beautiful! I like how the fisherman is actually being fished upon. I don't need a deeper meaning or further story, its a beautifully rounded short.

  • Que doideira!

  • someone's feeling morbid.

  • always chew your food before swallowing!

  • @lala2bug

    LOOOOOOL

  • Creepy! But I love creepy! Great work!

  • me fascina es....... muy bueno estas criaturas me hacen pensar en los cuadros de EL BOSCO gran artista surrealista

  • wow i dont think i've ever seen anything that demented.... nice work

  • That, was beautiful.

  • ..nice! ..after watching this, i felt an urge to watch more creepy movies ^_^

  • I'm never fishing again

  • don't eat alive animals!!!!!

  • OH. MY. GOSH.

  • why didnt he chew on that fish before swallowing it alive into its stomach....

  • I WAS EATING, DAMN IT

  • This video is so well done! But it was kinda creepy... in a good way, I guess, haha. Very artfully done though, I must say. :)

  • Many of you call that thing what he ate a "Fish" which is not true.

    first of this is an alien planet, and second it is a land beast that have its kids stored in its mouth. It uses the same method that it might have done for Idk 100 of years buy put one in the water and make the fisher fish it and eat it raw (like reptiles always do).

    This is pretymuch how evolution works and can be find similar thing such as parrasites.

  • @Lizardruler

    The question is Wouldnt that reptilian be aware of that from earlier experience if it is something common or did he forget that.

    Maybe that beast have imigrated and it is new to that "tribe".

    Very interesting though and everything is possible in this wast universe.

  • Never be greedy. Thats it. Clearly, if he hadn't been greedy for more fishes, he could have survived ? coz he might be home before he felt the pain and seek medical attention? hahas.. Nice film :) Thanks for sharing!

  • A film well made, I have seen worse films. Good job, Students!

  • Well I bet his mother always told him to properly chew his meals.

  • Never eat a fish raw

  • My stomache

  • This is extremely disturbing and the whole half human head thing is demonic like what messed up person would make this! Personally I though this was a fishishing video like lord have mercy!

  • did anyone elses stomach churn?...mine did ....the video was well put but...left me a bit disturbed.

  • Well... I'm creeped out now.

  • ??

  • the moral of the story is ....BECOME A VEGAN....it'll save your stomach muscles from cramping....neh ?

  • There's something I find fascinating about this video. It's very well done! :)

  • Would you be interested in making a music video for some electronic music?

  • Wow...

    Sucks to be that guy...

  • This is amazing.

  • The half human is cool!

  • Can someone explain to me what this video means?

  • the message of the chort clip was cook the damn fish befor you eat it lol

  • holy freaky. omg. I think i feel a whole new world of horror movies. oh boy... i was like totally creeped out. nice work on that animation

  • Very nice. Fishing is only nice to the one fishing but for the fish it is no fun at all. If only human people would able to put themselves in other peoples skin every thing would be different. Racional and compassionate animals should not eat other animals, we are not racional yet.

  • @KRauSLoCo mate "animals should not eat other animals"? im sorry but yeh some animals are born to eat other animals, look at lions for example they zebras, buffalo, deer, blar blar blar... so really animals are born to eat other animals.

  • @mw2fan101 Dear friend, :)

    I did not write that animals should not eat other animals only that racional and compassionate animals like we proudly say we are should not enslave, kill and eat other animals. There is a world of difference.

    If a racional and compassionate animal realize that he can not just survive but live much better without support animal slavory the racional human animal will automatically make changes in his life to adapt but only if we are talking about a human human.

  • @mw2fan101 Exactly, circle of life wouldnt be called circle of life if there wasn't for animals eating animals ;)

  • Excellent ! I love the design and the tale.

  • The technique and visual style was beautiful. The setting and characters were unique and very interesting. The violin sounded so very bleak. However, is there a message trying to be sent through this film? Or is it just soully to tell a dark story, because if that was the aim it was achieved tenfold. But could you let me know if and what the deeper meaning behind this was? Id be interested to know the artist's purpose. Also, commenters, please dont try to answer this question with your interper

  • @TheBenhayden Thanks for the kind words! Rather an overt message, I wanted to use visual narrative to show a natural event/cycle. I was mainly interested in conveying a mood- lonely, harsh, beautiful, & interwoven. I'm fascinated by evolution and the unique designs it produces (as well as the mystery of fishing), and I hoped these factors were enough to make an interesting short. I'm sorry to disappoint if you're looking for a concise moral/message... "chew your food" might have to suffice. ;)

  • @TheBenhayden

    chew before you swallow or at least make your prey dead before ingesting them completely. (my interpretation)

  • it doesn't make any sense to me.

  • Wow... creepy... love it.

  • Stupid. I hate evil

  • I don't understand

  • Its the monster from The Host!

  • so THATS where babbies come from :)

  • i got scared by looking at the characters... i was like.. what? then oh God!! what? oh no. whats that? oh damn!!!

  • Briliant ! i love this stuff , great story

  • PLEASE COOK YOUR FOOD BEFORE YOU EAT IT

  • @jennituxx and be sure it is dead :)

  • disturbing..

  • fuck...that is creppy.........full of disgusting creatures...but it is a very creative story, worth to watch!

  • Alguém pode me dizer qual é a moral desse video ?

  • That is absolutely disgusting......and creepy.....and disturbing!

  • I will now remember to always chew my food.

  • Disgusting!

    

  • OAO

  • awesome!!!!

  • oh my god im never going to be able to walk on a pier again nice idea for a creature btw

  • yum.... F-R-E-A-K-Y

  • Oh my god.. this was freaky.

  • macabre...

  • this kind of freaks me out...

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!

    

  • like the song

  • Now paranoid BURN ALL THE FOOD BEFORE EATING!!

  • the moral is to chew before you eat !

  • Uughhh... What just happened?

  • This is so good!

  • I swear all these short clips have more meaning than the crappy hollywood films out right now.

  • I feel so lucky. I was fishing at that pier just moments before. This fisher'man' pulled right into my park spot as i was leaving

  • So imaginative; and brutally beautiful; visually, it's stunning!

  • fisherman guy thing: oh yummy lunch

    leech thingy: oh yummy lunch

  • That was really creepy, but cool

  • Nice! I'm a bit shocked, but that's really good animation haha \0/

  • The more I watch this, the more I like it. Beautiful animation.

  • So...why does the Hellbeak (that's what I'm calling it) fill the Avianoid with parasites instead of just eating it? Or does it use this tactic to feed it's young?

  • OH GOD...O.O

  • And this, kids, is why you bite their heads off before you eat 'em.

  • So, how does the under-the-dock creature walk on normal land? Does it's spine spin or something, or is it evolved to be like that? Just wondering.

  • OK now I'm gonna have nightmares!

  • O_O!!!

    

  • I like it...:)

  • OMFG!! I'm gonna throw up!!! So ate a fish that was still alive and then it started to eat his stomach!!!!! SICK MINDS!!!!!

  • I want more.... :D

  • I'm all for dark story lines and animations but I just found this unpleasant.

  • @DefaultBoy101 I guess that, if so, at some level the story succeeded, don't you think?

  • br00tal

  • It is first time from veeeery long time, when I am impressed by the darkness, beastliness and austerity of somebody's movie (here-animation). It was really looooooong time.

  • Very bleak, but that's nature, isn't it? Excellent work. Hope to see more!

  • euw that is soo disgustin'

  • This animation is a piece of art. Its too bad that some dumb people disliked the video.

  • This isnt nasty its pretty good actually good job

  • стращно нах 

  • wow this is great. i luv it!

  • ewwwwwwwww this isnt cool take it of of youtube

  • @HGBSproductions Take yourself out of youtube asshole. this is brilliant.

  • @Fugalmonkey i mean the animation is cool but what i don't like like is the fish part its nasty but all the other stuff if cool

  • ewwww, i cant get that out of my mind now. worst nightmare now

  • Why have many ARTISTS & MUSICIANS died in suspicious circumstances over the last few decades? DO NOT WATCH IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH THE MAINSTREAM SPIN. Latest Film from controversial director Zayd Depaor watch?v=5zE99Mj7T3Q

  • Well....that was unexpected.....Makes you think twice about eating fish!

  • I can summarize this video in one word: nightmares

  • this is disgusting

  • Moral ? ------------------------------­------

  • Thumbed up and fav'd.

  • the ending is quite freeking me...

    but great animation though :)

  • ou

  • Poor fisherman

  • he should have killed it first instead of swallowing it all.

  • Awesome!

  • that was so eerie and awesome! thanks! great job!

  • I actually went and vomited after watching this. THAT's how disturbing I found it...

  • Comment removed
