Edgar - A Morbid Aniboom Animation by Aviad Goldgevicht

[Euph0riaLove]

wow...these videos never cease to amaze me

[RipperrX]

I absolutely adore art, particular dark films and animations. Ask 10 different people what they got from this clip, and you'll get 10 different answers. Art is self expressive, full of depth, and can be interpreted in so many ways! Keep it up! ;)

[artsfestoriginals]

wow that was great

[LLxHe]

ahh aniboom always disturbing,scary,and sometimes youre animations give me a headache...oh how i missed you guys

[deathwizardkai]

This was great - I really loved the colours used and the way of animation. Keep this up ^^

[DiaboliCkification]

יפה אביעד, זה עשוי היטב.

קצת מוזר שהוא בורח ככה בהתחלה רק כדי לבקש להקבר באמת בסוף

אבל אני מניח שזה היה רק שארית הפחד מהמוות שעוד נותרה בו

[FSXTout]

@drorjs אני מסכים. הדברים שאדם יעשה בשביל אהבה. (Google Translate)

[martinaee]

Wow... this made my shitty day even more depressing lol (it's a great animation though lol)

[HenryandMomma]

Truly amazing. Great animation. You created a mood and a story that really pulled me in. That's hard to do in six minutes. You can tell by the comments that people are leaving that you really struck a chord. Excellent, excellent work. Jason

[anjocult]

Edgar Alan Poe, really..

"I became insane with long intervals of horrible sanity."

Parfait, ma amie. Parfait!

[jimipage6662]

Muy buena animación ( u_u)'

[Ephemerance]

I feel the concept was that the man was already dead and that the solemn gravedigger was finally able to put his spirit to rest.

[4Brownie4]

@Ephemerance It feels to me he just gave up on living

[StarrSketch]

Reminds me of a charcoal picture :)

[EncoRecord]

In my opinion this feels like that Edgar, the old man can represent someone who is having rough times, drug addiction or something similar..

In this case the grave digger tries to help him out, it can represent anyone and still no-one.

But Edgar has set himself so deep into the darkness that he just can't find the life energy enough to be wanting to stay alive so he gives up.

[THEDARTHSIMON]

AMAZING animation but still its very sad

[SittingMooseShaman]

... the Digger offered the way out- Most o' th' time 'e does! To live. Again? Or to live... on; In the same unchanged, unending torment, personal or health-related.

Sometimes it's all in the attitude... and nothing else. We set our horizons... However, be aware there is a path to walk... and/or cut.

Yet at times; Some are just plain worn out...

Either way- we all must face the Digger sooner or later... So... Make the best of it while that Breath-of-Life is in yer lungs while yer healthy!

[TheSnakThatSmilesBak]

oh my god that was fantastic, it made me cry, the poem annabel lee does that to me though, so this was like, after the fact feelings. it was amazing, and i hope more things like this come out soon :]

[aniBOOM]

@giantcookiejar We have an interview with the winner of one of our competitions on our blog. There's a link to the blog in the description box, and the post is called "Yannick Puig – Winner of the Saatchi & Saatchi Nothing is Impossible Challenge".

[geek2thextreme]

i feel bad for the grave digger

[BladesOfMunch]

This ACTUALLY gave me shivers - I swear I can STILL  feel that cold wind blowing up my neck! I FELT like I was actually chased too. VERY eerie, and VERY well done! Great music choice to go with the art style too.

[phreak506]

awesome. thank you

[jamaicangal1991]

Wonderful!!! i love dark animation i think E.A.P. would be very proud

[aniBOOM]

@jamaicangal1991 Thanks, glad you liked it!

[KansasChick2010]

Very nice! Love the animation style. Hope to see more like this. :)

[Ogchlosome]

its okay, it felt predictable, and crude looking ...

[w1nos]

Very depressing...

[AtheistActivist]

Is this based off of a Poe poem I've somehow missed?

[TheSnakThatSmilesBak]

@AtheistActivist its about annabel lee, when he sees the grave digger and it pans out, thats what that grave says. its the only grave with a name that we can see. it was also one of the first things i noticed. :]

[CxC2007]

Poor, Poor old man.

[MrHuntervad]

In the end we chose an end anyway, but seriously sometime we chose that end, and respect is a good thing to have, to help or get helped :|

[StarrSketch]

Aww...

[SickODaniel]

but whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy D:

[roopeshchhabria]

strikes the right emotional chord

[BenjiFester]

He didn't want to live without the one who died, so he rejected the hand out of the grave? I think that was what happened.

[Ahntara123]

Wicked good!

[RodrigoSEMLIMITES]

FANTASTIC!

[spooks77]

huh..

[imyourgirl70]

he visit his deceased wife then why he was buried alive?does it mean he wants to follow his dead wife?

[NinoUrushadze1]

@imyourgirl70

As i think - He just not see the aim of life to go on without HER ! So : 1. This is a symbol of dead life; 2. He just following her, which is absolutely incorrect approach to the life. When One not see the main aim of Life, any negative matters are driving him/her to despire and this last one (despair) is one of the reason of suicide. Actually, this is my point of view !

[Dymamyd]

That was amazing. The ending was pretty confusing though...

[satruper14]

GREAT

[MyTPEE]

blilliant!!

[Suisei]

Very nice animation!

I kinda giggled when it said Camera Obscura because I'm such a Fatal Frame fan lol

[NeverNatter]

The running part kinda reminds me on Sleepy Hollow O.o

..I'm sorry! Well this animation is really sad in my opinion!

[KITTYclaws10]

that was creepy. but FANTASTIC! brilliant animation! made me cry! :')

[aniBOOM]

@KITTYclaws10 Glad it stirred emotions in you.

[ichirootaniguchi]

i think morbid was a wrong choiceof word as this is more dark than morbid, nonetheless this was just beautiful

[MrJourney17]

that was fantastic, you should be very proud of that. i would do the same thing if i ever lost my wife. that was very good

[TerrenceAnimation]

Edgar Allen Poe! Of course it's morbid. Brilliant poet, must've suffered a lot. I was hoping Edgar'd get out at the end, that was really morbid. I hope the animator doesn't suffer as much as Poe did.

[FrozenNos]

@TerrenceAnimation

Funny since all of his poems were about being buried alive, at least a majority of them.

[aniBOOM]

@TerrenceAnimation I hope so too!
