Short Film: Thursday

[DickensianDreams]

That was brilliant! It must have taken a long time to make this video, what with you having to painstakingly move the props one shot at a time. The music was brilliant, as well.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Daniel! =) Yes stop-motion is always time consuming but it is my favourite type of animation - I love the magic it can create with such simple tricks! ;)

[PerthPete1]

This is fantastic work.

I have a huge smile on my face.

Great choice of music. Delightful props and use of them, especially the birds and leggo figurines riding elephants.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Pete! This film was so much fun to make =)

[invisibletime]

[zebidee55]

Just occurred to me that this should have been titled 'Friday' to explain the missing day in the story!

[slippereal]

When the nurseries dark, your toys get up and talk!

Talk to each other every night.

When the nurseries dark an eternal moon is shining,

Outside the land is snowy white. Delightful, I loved it!

[frumpyframpton]

Reminded me of Hannibal, what with the elephant and camel. Very engaging, I anticipate great things from this channel, should you continue to maintain the ever elusive drive to make collaborations =]

[xOREGx]

I've not much of a clue what that was actually about. But I love it! Five stars!

[MickB0529]

cool stuff!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

hehe! Thank you! =)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

hehe, time flies when creativity strikes. Thanks Rick! =)

[EightiesGrad]

Golden! But then again, everything the two of you touch is! ;D 5/5 and subbed!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you very much Dale! =)

[walksindarkness]

I like it, it for some reason reminds me of the book, The Indian in the Cupboard written by Lynne Reid Banks. Job well done!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thanks Jason! 'The Indian in the Cupboard' was a favourite book of mine when I was young. I had fond memories of it when we filmed the scene in this with the cowboy and native american. I should like to re-read that book again now I am older =)

[snowpatrolbaby]

wow that is super creative am loving it... 5 from me too and a sub aswell.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you, snowpatrolbaby! =)

[ravensky23]

This was brilliant, Jen! You are a true talent! Nice to meet your talented sister too. 5***** and a sub!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Debbie! =)

[tjkoz22]

Spellbinding! I loved it.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Tom!

[uziyahuidf]

This needs to be featured!

This was the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy in 3 minutes!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Aw thank you Uzi! It is quite intense, hehe!

[KIRKIN2112]

Very very well done!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you ^^

[GodNeptune45]

I wasnt sure at first but it turned out to be really thoughtfully done.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you, GodNeptune45 =)

[Sadistica]

I loooooove it!

Jan S. is such a great artist, I always loved his "Alice" :)

Thanks for posting your art, I will watch the channel too.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you! I hope to see more of his films sometime, the 'Jabberwocky' of his had a wonderful effect on me =)

[ThreeofThree]

I've been rewatching. ;) haha

[TheRavenOfPoe]

hehe, thanks Ash!

[ThreeofThree]

God. I love the music choice. XD

[lostnomoor]

I should have known this would be good! i think the music really makes it! :) CJ

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Yes the music is very much at its core ;) Thanks CJ!

[Wheelsgr]

Wow! I'm so pleasantly confused!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

That is the effect the Jabberwocky film that inspired this had on me, hehe! It is a fun way to make a film ;) Thanks Aleya!

[djplazma]

Fantastic! I was so sure this would rock that I subscribed before I even viewed the video. Great video.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

hehe, thanks Jim! =)

[janeczka]

I really enjoyed this, the atmosphere and the music, which contributes to it a lot. Good job! hope to see more from you guys.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you Janeczka! The music was wonderful to work with =)

[TikiTikiTemb0]

Mesmerising in a good way. The cardinal fluttering in is my favourite sequence but the lone chess piece alternating colours, synchronised with dramatic tones in the music, is fairly captivating too. Never say nevermore!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

hehe, thank you Tiki! =)

[markakroll]

It seems to me, that you have captured the basic elements of a dream. The surreal animation (i.e. order & chaos) with a heavy heart beat in the background. Encore...Encore... I can't wait to see more.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you very much Mark! =)

[Aaroncast86]

That was bloody brilliant, seriously! wow.

I hope at least one of you is perusing a carrier in the film industry. Clearly you have the skills to get paid for your efforts.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you very much Aaron! As of yet neither of us are headed towards a career in the film industry but we both love film and enjoy creating pieces too. I don't think it is a hobby that will fade for us any time in the forseeable future, hehe =)

[justdave42day]

Very good. Unique. Compelling. I enjoyed it.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you =)

[FlaviusAetiusII]

Awesome! Stop-motion seems like it would be really fun to do! What is the music?

[FlaviusAetiusII]

Scratch that about the music. I don't know how i managed it, but somehow i missed the credits.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thanks Jack! Yes, stop motion is a really fun film method! I love the end result it produces and how it can bring inanimate objects to life.

[ThreeofThree]

Ooooh I love this music. I thought I recognized the artist. haha

And the stop motion was awesome! I love how old it seemed because of the color. I want that box too! Soooo pretty!

[zebidee55]

Oooh! Competition prize!!! I'm sure the owners wouldn't object. Much.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

lol!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

hehe, as do I Ash! It is wonderful that such music is made Royalty Free, for otherwise us YouTubers are left with few options ;)

[dancegypsy]

Really loved this.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you, dancegypsy! =)

[ASAngelo]

You two have opened Pandora's Box haven't you!

~I have no words to say. Speechless with impressions of Carroll's 'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves. Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:. All mimsy were the borogoves,. And the mome raths outgrabe.'

Yet provocatively holds hypnotic daydreams to MacLeod; clips seem bound devilishly twisted to the downbeat. Surreal tension between relics, birds & animals havin' a go at brutal peckering.

Dear heavens!What happens when the two of you get together!

[zebidee55]

LOL! It's not often that you see a Jabberwocky quote in a comment! (OK,it makes sense here though) Carroll was a very odd dude...

I'm a bit concerned at the ready availability of stuffed birds! Was that a cardinal? ;)

Yes I agree, we're all in trouble now...

[ASAngelo]

Yes ... They are two bright geniuses at play. O my. One must tread softly on that femenine creative energy! ^^

Carroll ... poor chap, so creative but troubled as most creative types are. His imagery is quite scary for children. I relate to it because of his broad imagination and inventive spirit despite his own inner struggles.

I suppose the same could be said of Poe. Odd dude there too. But genius.

I love reading your comments. You have a way with words that has a clear inflection;)

[zebidee55]

LOL! Thankyou!

My favourite thing about Jabberwocky was it was written as an example of how NOT to write a poem - a sort of protest if you will. Of course, now it is studied and commented on as a work of genius. Couldn't the poor guy catch a break?! We didn't understand him when he was being serious, and we didn't understand him when he was joking...

LOL! They're all weird, but maybe that is the key. If they were all normal, they'd slide into the obscurity of the human condition.

[TheRavenOfPoe]

I assure you it was not a real stuffed cardinal, hehe. It is some form of plastic beneath the feathers ;)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Deepest thanks to you ;) The 'Jabberwocky' is one of my favourite poems - it intrigues me how such nonsense words when placed and chosen carefully give the illusion of a great deal of meaning, as though I know precisely what each adjective and noun is expressing, despite the fact they are purely the invention of the poet. That is perhaps the effect this short film has, where what may be snippets of surreal nonsense (hehe) when placed together give an impression of something much more.

[zebidee55]

Yay! Huge congratulations on the first of many cool projects! This must have taken so long to do. I want to watch it again already!

A very warm welcome to YouTube for LaCasetaMagica!

[ASAngelo]

Stop animation is under-rated in it's time consuming process. It must have taken quite an effort! I too watched it more than once trying to associate a storyline. I have many thoughts and absolutely no conclusions.

[zebidee55]

Yeah, I'm curious to know how many photos it took - any comment from the creators?

[ASAngelo]

Indeed.

It is a masterpiece! I am so charmed they got together for this. I favourited it immediately. It is the best stop motion feature I have seen in terms of it's surealistic artistry and uniquely flavoured imagery. Hypnotic and enchanting colour tones ... I cannot help but wish for more elaboration from the creators. However, in the artistic regard, perhaps the magic lies in its mystery:)

[zebidee55]

Ooh! You reminded me - I forgot to favourite this! Curse its hypnotising qualities...

I agree, as a stop motion it is really impressive, but as a FIRST stop motion it's amazing!

[ASAngelo]

I agree completely.

Oh yes ... this is one of those ... where one knows one has to favourite it right away!

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Thank you very much, Angelo! I think you are quite right about the magic lying in the mystery behind the films idea and its making ;)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

I am not exactly certain what the final count was, but somewhere between 500-1,000 ;)

[TheRavenOfPoe]

Aw thank you Michael! And yes, stop motion is always time consuming, hehe, but very fun to put together the results!
