Shadow Puppets

[heavendescent]

Chuck was a teacher of mine, and I assure you, there is hardly a more brilliant mind in animation. I had the honor of watching Shadow Puppets in school.

Fantastic request my15minutes!

[bwhahrhr]

stuble should have ment stumble. drunk typing ftl :)

[bwhahrhr]

Dir Sir, it has come to my attention that you havent been making videos latley. I hope this has nothing to do with bad things happening but just missing inspiration.

I hope that, one day, eventually you will stuble upon another thing that might inspire you to vlog again.

This day will be foretold as the one where newO came back, and it shall be a magnificent day.

[Veratus]

Old Friend,

Thanks for encouraging Mr. Gamble to post his cartoon here. It surely does deliver an incredible message and one that deserves to be shared. I initially received the link to this cartoon from you on an e-mail, but had no idea you had added your own commentary. I was searching for the cartoon tonight to share with another friend of ours and stumbled upon your comments.

Regards,

Mark L.

[SilentDilemma]

Just watched it and it blew me away! I've already added it as a favourite and I'd say I'll be watching it repeatedly over the next few days. Thanks for bringing this to us.

[my15minutes]

tyvm, silent!  :)

and please pass chuck's film on, and especially to anyone you know, that could use a little help!

[Annaconda1984]

i found that video trough fantasticb's channel and it has become one of my fave vids of all time, so I'm telling all my friends to see it

[my15minutes]

Thank you very much, Anna!

Long-time subscriber of yours, as well, so it's nice to finally 'meet' you. :)

[Annaconda1984]

(=P if you post lots of vids we might meet many many more times

xx anna

[my15minutes]

hehe! point taken. :D

i'll just have to remedy that, then, i s'pose!

i'm now recording my next clip. telling my favorite military joke, for a good friend.

[jrsnyderjr]

I know you were one of my first subs, I know that Matthias (bwhahrhr) was instrumental in pulling me out of my shell to make my first vid, I clearly recall your comment on his Unsubscribe Series #3...ahhhh heck forget all the coincidental paradoxes and ironies.

I have really been struggling this past couple of weeks with clarity for a direction to take on here with what I've been given and it is striking to me how I keep coming across things that answer that for me.

[jrsnyderjr]

that was a damn good vid Shadow Hand Puppets it was and nice to see you as no longer my mystery sub! Thanks!

[my15minutes]

You're very welcome, jr. I see that you enjoy following breadcrumb comment trails as well. :)

[jrsnyderjr]

Oh yes...and Matthias and I have practically made a hobby of it and it's now a running joke with us as we run across each other doing it!

[withanoxgoad]

this is awesome. nice to meet you. ima watch the vid now!

[my15minutes]

thank you!

likewise!

and please do! :)

[withanoxgoad]

i did! what a freaky cool film!!

[bwhahrhr]

Wow, what a first video. It knocked me of my feet. The short film was amazing as well. I am honestly speechless and will comment when I finaly got some sleep again

[my15minutes]

very cool. looking forward to tomorrow.

[bwhahrhr]

I can totaly relate to your blog, the short movie touched me propably more than other movies where able to. I could imagine you / me waiting for it to come back, to be able to recreate the moment of first seeing it. Well for me its easy, I will just click the thumbnail after this comment but... ;)

Also thinking about what to upload as your first video - I was spending a lot of time on that topic and I wished the video would have turned out likes this. (:

[my15minutes]

Hehe! Thank you, again, Matthias. Most of us didn't take a year getting ready for their first video, though. :D

I guess now my comment on your Unsubscribe #3 clip becomes a little clearer, yes? :)

[bwhahrhr]

It already made much sense to me, but yes its now crystal clear! (:

[jrsnyderjr]

Matthias and I clearly remember commenting on his comment on that vid also...it's coming around full circle now.

[8rf]

favorited this

[my15minutes]

Thanks!

Be sure to watch the thank you clip to him, that I just uploaded, because you're in it. :D

[8rf]

Jesus.... and he put the video here....

[SuperChig]

Owen....

Great call....

Thanks for making this happen.

[my15minutes]

zoinks! chig!

yw! :)

[mysterywalker]

so you're the reason that was uploaded on here? thanks

[my15minutes]

Oh, I merely played my part. A very small one, at that. But yeah, it felt great. Thanks, brother!

[U2bianSynic]

Thanks Owen!! That was AMAZING!!

[my15minutes]

Thanks! And that chronicles reply is in the works, but I've got a year-long backlog now... :D

[nochum1]

YES,YES,YES,YES,..(breathless)­,..I loved the film and thank you so much for forwarding it to me, but I have to say I'm even MORE blown away by your first video appearance !!! Oh my, inspiration can make us step right over our fear without even noticing it sometimes. I'm thanking Chuck for 2 things, his extraordinary film, and firing you up enough to get on camera. This is a fabulous first video. ~PEACE, NoBlancheChumNoE

[my15minutes]

Just putting the finishing touches on my video reply clip to him now.

Many, many thanks to you as well. You'll see soon.

[iamkarl]

That was a great little film - thanks for getting it onto YouTube. It really reminded me of "More" by Mark Osborne, which was nominated for an Oscar about 10 years ago. I've put it in my favourites, if you haven't seen it already.

[my15minutes]

I had seen that when it came out, yep! But hadn't seen it since then, so thanks for reminding me. 5&F on that one too!

[2soon2tell]

...great to see you! loved the vid. thanks for bringing it to youtube! (and thanks to mr. gamble, natch!)

[my15minutes]

Thanks, Todd!

And yeah, he's awesome. Check out his art at chuckgamble(dot)com to see what I meant about making software parents would actually want to buy.

There's no dystopia in the kid's stuff. :D

[phaedress]

You told me to follow the bread-crumbs. You didn't tell me I'd end up with a lump in my throat!

I agree with you about "Shadow Puppets'. I've seen a lot of art about totalitarian dystopias (and real places), including Brazil, the works of Vaclav Havel, and countess SF, and this distills those messages to their essence.

I'm glad you convinced the film-maker to share this movie for free with us here at YT.

[my15minutes]

Me too. I knew I coulda' just sent an e-mail, but it would mean more if I had a chance to tell him why I thought it was so great.

[FantasticBabblings]

Thanks for asking him to upload it. I have forwarded the link to several others, and I am sure that they will pass it on.

[my15minutes]

They did, and thank you, so much, Phil.

Float on!

[Oilwellian]

Well done. I hope Mr. Gamble will post the video.

[my15minutes]

He just did. Thanks, Katie. :D
