Vision of the Dark Tower

[brianwilk]

Spot 1:49 is my fav in the clip. Great job! My most favorite Dark Tower video on Youtube! Would love to see more of them!

[mariovalentino100]

Not to mention Jake goes threw the same scene tht Eddie dreamed. but Jake was not dreaming

[mariovalentino100]

This scene is I'n wasteland. do more bits of the series plz:)

[applicableoleny]

This is amazingly well done, very nice work!

[cannamagic]

beautiful,i start reading all over again

[Tachot123]

ewan mcgregor would be perfect for eddy i think

[licensetofly]

I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.

I aim with my eye.

I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.

I shoot with my mind.

I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.

I kill with my heart.

[GrandSupremeDaddyo]

I made sure to watch the video to the end in case it started again :p

[licensetofly]

@GrandSupremeDaddyo

I see what you did there >>

[bumgahdna]

I like how you paid close attention to the music...it can really make or break.  Very Creative!

[TheGeneral937]

this was a great video but the only thing was that there was no rolling stones is the video. "I see a red door and i want it panted black no colors mater I want them to turn black"

[Electricrom]

KA is law

[4351Roxas]

The Dark Tower always brings a sense of awe, even though I read all of the books I have wondered what is at the vary top of the dark tower? Roland found a door, is it some sort of symbolic universal doorway to whatever the person desires?

[xPhalx]

*spoiler*

I believe the door he went through was the top, but roland wasn't able to enter into the room as he was not yet worthy, and thus had to retry (as he has several times). I'm not sure what what would make him worthy, but one thing he needed and didn't have was the Horn of Eld.

[elspoko]

@xPhalx Honestly, I don't think he'll ever be ready. Jake, the innocent of the bunch, always dies. I believe when Rolands innocence is kept alive, only then will he be able to see the final room.

[MONEYVAL9]

i am creating the animated movie for the dark tower.

ive only read the wizard and the glass.

and used the audio books for the first to.

am currentlyworking on blaine the mono translap.

if u have any ideas u'dd like to share am all ears

[mrttwo]

Fantastic. You shuld make more.

[Enothrae]

I liked it, but I just think you should not have just plucked already known elements out of the series and put them together, im not saying you should make up new parts, but maybe you should have tried to use those elements to make something new, instead of directly using them (like the first line, or the rosefield).

[rattegg111]

@Enothrae i think you should shut up.

[Enothrae]

Why.

[rattegg111]

@Enothrae sorry that wasnt meant for you.

[MonsuerLePlague]

That's exactly the very thing I hate from directors that translate books into movies- Liberties. I always enjoy a translation to be as close as possible. Besides, this is nicely done. Good show.

[Enothrae]

I think you missed my point. what this little clip is is also a liberty, Icant find this scene in the book can I? but what anoys me is that it is a creativityless mix of known elements, so why do you like this? its both a liberty- it didnt happen in the book- as well as something with little artistic value in my opinion

[MonsuerLePlague]

Actually, I believe this scene *is* in one of the books. It's been a while since I've read through the entire series.

[Enothrae]

i'm sorry, it is, ill have to take back what I sais earlier.

I agree on the liberties part, because in movies hat come from books they're usually made to make the movie shorter and/or to make suitable to a broader audience (like the golden compass or the lightning thief).

I think this little clip is well made, nice style, but lacks creativity in the substance. although saying its just loos elements is not an argument anymore since it was actually in the book.

[BlindReaper22]

actually this scene is in the series

[MorbidGuardian]

I just read this scene last night

[Pyram1dH3ad]

Awesome job! Hope you do more in the future. This is the best Dark Tower related video I've seen.

Long days and pleasant nights!

[mmmgollito]

man... this is awesome!!!

please do some more of it!! (sorry my poor english)

things like this are like a breeze of fresh air for us, the tower junkies around the world (i'm from Chile)...

my sincere congratulations

[TCBProductionz]

Trippin balls; fucken sweet!

[herrpotat]

This is superb! This almost scared me, its almost as if its taken out of my head..

[qwertyuiop78945612]

Very nice.

[lextune]

Thanks. That was truly awesome. I hope Mr. King one day happens across it.

[spookydom]

Brilliant! can't belive I haven't watched it b4. Also Hope 1 day you feel inspired to make a little bit more. Eddie was my hero through most of my teens and twenties. :)

[CaptainRon0001]

dude, you need to produce more of this, this is the most amazing dark tower content i've seen, I love the fact that you decided to go with an abstract art style and I love the choice of score.

this is purely awesome, Thankee Sai.

[Harry83CANE]

you are the gunslinger or ?

[AddziD23]

That was fantastic! You captured that scene perfectly! You should really do some more!

[ztls6i]

wow. That was brilliant. I really liked the way that the roses appeared.

[Dimitrij90]

that was just,, awesome man.. purley awsome

[TheAcesofJokers]

You captured the Tower perfectly

[TheAgeofShadows]

Absolutlely perfect, the onlly thing i can say is that they shape of the key isn´t correct (three inverted V with an S on the end), and Jack Andolini should have said "dad a chum dee da chee not to worry you've got the key". Apart from little details, perfect.

[machst3m]

So, then it was not absolutely perfect? :)

Great animation! KA willed it...

[LocalH3ro]

That was intense, perfectly imagined from one of (my many) text sequences of the story.

Ever since I heard that the film version of the books is finally on I've been soaking up as much DT as I can. This is one of the best I've experienced so far. Thankee Sai!

[eltehartland]

Thank you all very much for your kind words. It still amazes me that people still watch this and like it! :)

[raredonkey]

I am in the middle re-reading the series AGAIN and this just a truly excellent addition to the dark tower world. Long days and plesant nights!

[ROCKQUEEN19786]

This is AMAZING! Perfect job man! I also felt exactly this same way while reading the book! Beautiful!

[Aiwe78]

Really good! :)

[Laxanii]

Book 3.

[Snipestorm]

clap clap that was just what I imagined while reading that book.

[Ghaiyst]

This video portrays exactly what I imagined, when read the part of eddie's dream! Excelent video! A+

[dustinandstacy]

Great video. Remember JJ Abrams from Lost is doing an actual movie of the Dark Tower as soon as the Lost series is finished.  Stephen King is a big time Lost fan and only trusted Abrams to do this movie.

[littleguy136]

Where did you hear this at? I hope what you are saying is true.

[elspoko]

It's true. It's old news actually. You can just goggle it, it was all over the booknerd news about 2 years ago before he started doing Cloverfield.

[TEHM4X]

and, apparently, christian bale is gonna be Roland.

[eltehartland]

Thanks, everyone! I think it's amazing that this video still gets feedback after one and a half years.

[sdmffromhell]

Brilliant!

[mattmethod]

This is really great, it fits in well with book and stays very true to the whole feeling you get when reading about the dream sequences in the novel. Great job

[Epidrone]

I dig this. Good stuff

[uvonky]

Great job, im really impressed!

Never have i seen a better fan-made video corresponding with "Dark Tower".

Please, if u ever make another video i'd love to do the music score.

[Bumbler19]

Top notch.

At first I said "What no Roses?". The way they grew out like that was sweet. Kinda like the Byrus.

More please.

[MandaOwl]

I've said it before but I gotta say it again.

THIS. ROCKS.

Geez, I just love it.

[PhantomPhire93]

what about jack andolini saying, "dad a chum dee da chee not to worry you've got the key"?

other than that, its excellent

i am currently reading the wastelands, because im reading the dark tower series over again, and this is a very good representation of eddie's dream.

[snarepsycho1616]

I'm currently reading it too, but this is my first time through with the dark tower, although i do know the ending of the series...wikipedia i never thought i'd end up reading the series but i did, but they're still great books. awesome animation

[thedon420333]

@PhantomPhire93 dad a chum dad a churtle not to worry you've got the turtle

[JupiterIsland91]

the animation reminds me of the movie Waking Life.

good job!

[JupiterIsland91]

awesome!!

[AceOfSpades0009]

I liked it, but only one problem with it:

WHY DIDN"T JACK HANDLINI SAY "DAD-A-CHUM DUD-A-CHEE!?"

[GoNosis]

Man, good work. This is a fantastic representation. I especially like eddie's accent.

Keep up the good work!

[stiansas]

good work there!!

[Sephilocke]

Dude, badass! Please, make more :D

I'd love to see some of Roland going across the desert, or some of Flagg, or even the final scene of the book, that would be awesome!

Well done!

[headbangerthebest]

5*.

best vid on you tube

[liamisthesexy]

looked like shit, and it was completely irrelevent to the story line.

[krystalstardust]

i'm sure stephen king would get a kick out of this. amazin.

[Ellz815]

Wow, amazing video, I've watched it over and over again! In particular I love the way the shadow falls on Eddie, you caught the scariness of that part perfectly. Great stuff, and great books, say thankya!

[eltehartland]

Thanks!

[r4shin]

This is a brilliant peice of art.

Congratulations, it's great.

Rashin~

[chipwichesrool]

That was so amazing, a great add-on to the greatest book ever written

[upsignerman]

Do you have a high quality version?

Many people would be very glad if you'd upload one :-)

5*

[eltehartland]

Thanks, I'm working on one right now.

[Pimpsonite]

That was bad ass.

[JebanyZajebisty]

Wow, this was almost perfect in bringing the atmosphere of the books.

[longway05todream]

Bellissimo video.Ricalca stupendamente le atmosfere della serie.Complimenti a tutto lo staff che ha lavorato al video ed a Stephen King creatore di una delle serie più belle che siano mai state scritte.

[eltehartland]

Grazie molto. I don' la t parla italiano, ma ho usato Babelfish.

[snkaes251]

The Waste Lands is probably one the the best books in the series. I was glued to this story, especially Eddie's dream. Then there was the vacant lot with the rose, the Doorkeeper, Blaine the Mono...Stephen King is fucking BRILLIANT!

[lucopr]

Davvero incredibile... Hai fatto centro amico, complimenti

[brokenbacktango]

This is absolutely incredible!

[LegEndLeonardo]

that was something special, very well done. everthing worked. 5 stars defiently.

one small thing was not quite right but im not gonna say what that is. i really hope u do more. :-)

[eltehartland]

If you mean the icecream, that is on purpose. (Started as a misread, but decided to keep it.)

;-)

[nessusred]

This is a great peice of work! and actually one of my fav moments of the whole series, it had the same feel as when jake first finds the rose! great job capturing the atmosphere! I have a peice of music I composed which I think fits the Dark Tower, gotta get some footage now!

[moonseolnyeo]

Superior work. Congrats.

[surfvampire]

That was very special ... everything works so well together, music,visuals,words. A beautiful tribute to the tower!

Well done!

[MandaOwl]

Yeah I really like this, because it's not just clips someone has taken from other movies and repeat over and over. It's very, very well done, with the dreamlike way everything's floating in and out of focus.

Good sounds aswell :)

When it comes to me, I'm still waiting for the 5th book to be published in Swedish.

[finalxcx]

I haven't yet finished the series yet, but i have to disagree with you about Wastelands being the best. Wizard and Glass was the best for me with the simple fact of Roland's child hood story in the Barony of Mejis. Don't get me wrong I like Waste lands too, but i don't think it was the best. This series got me to like reading. I mean I read the 3rd and 4th book in a period of 2 months. This little movie was really good, i was shocked. You need to make a longer movie! :)

[bream1957]

Amazing job.

Yeah I lke the Waste Lands best, but the last one had a specil ending, I like to hold the entire series as to the answer to the meaning of life and everything.

[eltehartland]

Hey thanks!

I don't know if the Dark Tower series hold the answer to life and everything. When in doubt, I just say '42' and get on with it! ;-)

[bream1957]

Hahaha a "Hitchikers "Fan too huh?

[WDW888WDW]

I mean DT

[WDW888WDW]

I mean DK.

[WDW888WDW]

The best vision! I want see more work on DK.

Great job.

Cheers

[OneBigBlank]

So good it's scary!

[eltehartland]

Thank you all! I really appreciate your support.

[TheTimHortons]

That was really cool

[camaleon782]

wowo amazing job truly well done

[thecollectfew]

Yeah I still can't get over how amazing this is, like the music compliments the imagery so well. The 7th book is a toughie, its mega long many people either love it or hate it I find.

Heres my favorite Dark Tower books in order:

1. The Waste Lands

2. The Drawing of the Three

3. Wizard and Glass

4. The Gunslinger

5. The Dark Tower

6. Wolves of the Calla

7. Song of Susanna

[NippleSqueez]

Oh my frickin god!

This was truly awesome!

I can't believe that this has been up since October '07 and only has 1200 views. Well, I'll certainly watch it again. And again. I LOVE the Dark Tower. Still haven't read the

7th vol. yet, though. But I will in about a month.

You really managed to capture the universe, I think. And I love your drawing/animation style.

Keep up the good work - if/when you ever get the time to it again.

[thecollectfew]

That was brilliant! Doing anymore?

[upsignerman]

wonderful.

[tenaciousguitar]

this is the most real darktower trailer i have ever seen to te people how made it thanks

[ZULUTUBER]

No problem, it's all good. Huge thanks again for all the work on this one, all the best in your travels thru life..Peace

[ZULUTUBER]

Fantastic job! You remember the face of your father well ,now more please :)

[eltehartland]

Thank you both, ZULUTUBER and Worldsofwonder2007, but I don't think I will be making another part of VotDT for a while. This one alone took me about half a year. I'm working full-time now, as well. Not a student anymore.

[Worldsofwonder2007]

Fantastic! Can you make more chapters for the books, PLEEESE? :-)

[chadzorz]

That was kick ass just like I imagenied it in the book! amazeing.

[uycheporq]

Is this from one of the books in particular?? Im reading the last one and had to cut the video through the middle because I was afraid of any spoilers XD

[eltehartland]

It's from the third book. This animation is an interpretation of Eddie's dream about the Tower.

[uycheporq]

ohh cool, nice video!

[Digweed2010]

this was awesome!

[MandaOwl]

NEAT

[JanoSeishu420]

Good animation and good tribute to one of kings biggest masterpieces The dark tower.

[tekonaza]

OMG! Incredible!

What software did you used?

=============

"I'd love to see some more of these."

x2

[eltehartland]

Thanks! :) I made it using primarily Photoshop and After Effects. Took me a couple of months fulltime work, though.

[auraldemolition]

I'd love to see some more of these.

[arkilias]

Best tribute to the DarkTower ever!!11

You have a great talent.

[cuoremale]

bravissimo...un bellissimo video

[666darksoul666]

netjes 5 sterretjes van joey ;)

[Blairoid]

Brilliant! I give you 5 points!

[eltehartland]

Thank you, I appreciate it!

[RolandoKatet]

BRAVO!!!

[Geomon19]

This was very nicely done.

[eltehartland]

Thank you! I just finished uploading all my animations, so please hang around and watch some more.
