[PunchSydeiron]

Thumbs up if you saw this in the Nostalgia Critic episode "Junior."

[simlewis]

I absolutely love this.

[MikeGause]

How were things like this created? Was most of this handrawn? It said it was made in 1984 (same as the macintosh) so i wonder if this was early computer animations or not

[stuckingphoner]

[Johngalt43]

No substances were abused in the making of this video.

[50nine50]

does the tempo sound a little off to anyone else?

[harlequintears]

Can someone please help me out with the lyrics, english is not my native language, this is what I have so far: "()" = I'm not sure, and "---" = I don't have a clue.

[m1lkm4n]

@harlequintears I believe the animator and lyric writer of this short posted the video on his YouTube channel, so he could probably tell you directly. 16X9hidef is his username here. (thanks Vince for not making me take it down!)

[vallekanuz]

Letra de "Life Is Flashing Before Your Eyes": "Grab your chance, other wise, time wont wait, it always flies, Life is flashing before your eyes. So live it, up idolize, don't stop to compromise, life just keeps flashing before your eyes, everyday a new sunrise, cauliflower clouds, starry skies, life is flashing before your eyes, just like butterflies, or the key to paradise, life's out there flashing before your eyes."

[vallekanuz]

@harlequintears 2º parte: "A piece of life will synchronize with the animated energy of surprise life's right there in front your eyes cherries in a bowl satisfied your thirst for life will not run dry i said life keeps on flashing before your eyes well just to philosophy between two eternities I realize my life is flashing before my eyes it's just a dream and my advice is don't neglect to galvanize life flashed before your eyes have a nice life flash before your eyes"

[harlequintears]

grab you chance otherwise time will weight it always flight life is flashing before your eyes so live it up, idealize don't stop to compromise life just keep flashing before your eyes everyday a new sunrise coliflowers, clouds, starry skies life is flashing before your eyes just like butterflies or the key to paradise life --- flashing before your eyes

[heavytravis]

[edzorz]

@harlequintears "or the key to paradise, life's out there flashing"

"a pace of life"

"its just a dream, and my advice is dont neglect, to have on ice..."

[harlequintears]

a --- of life, will synchronize with the animated energy of surprise Life's there in front of you eyes cherries in a bowl -- satisfied your thirst for life will not run dry I said, Life keeps on flashing before you eyes well just to philosophize between two eternities I realize my life is flashing before my eyes it's just a dream in my advice (it's don't need) --- to have an eye life flash before your eyes have a nice life flash before your eyes

[vallekanuz]

It's awesome how the images keep constantly changing and every metamorfosis has it's meaning along with the letter. I love this, it's simply genious and captivating.

Thnx =)

[heavytravis]

Hi I'm french and I don't understand the lyrics. I'm asking a lot, but I'l be glad if someone write it at this email: chabotvincent@yahoo.fr

Thanks!

[edzorz]

1:44 to 1:50 is trippy as hell

[TonyXXD420]

I remember laughing so hard at this in college...and then puking up a bag of pretzels and a half-case of Busch Light a couple minutes later.

[alffPLASTICARTIST]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOWWWW

[LordShivasServant]

WIN

[only1duk]

quack

[deusprogrammer]

I don't know why, but that made me sad.

[LordShivasServant]

@deusprogrammer Because like everyone else, myself included, you realise on some level you're wasting your precious Divine moment.

Every moment is a gift to you, personally. That's why they call it "the present". lol Forgive the cliche, but it's fucking true.

[deusprogrammer]

@LordShivasServant That's so deep. Thank you for that. It means a lot to me.

[LordShivasServant]

@deusprogrammer <3 Only passing something on

[jcawein289]

i watched this for the first time when i was SO fucked up on shrooms, it almost destroyed my mind. I am very glad to see that it is just as epic when you're sober

[lowaces]

good thing i'm gonna be reincarnated

[PuppyTortus]

How long did this take to make?

[Elvarks]

was this intended for children?!

[WladicusMaximus]

This song makes my soul sad

[datnobodyking13]

why does this tune remind me of "let it be" by those unpopular liverpool lads... what's their name again?

[JOTA430]

genious vince collins :)

[shakazulu44]

why is this so amazing?

[xDIRECTORSRULEx]

I watched this on shrooms and I was shocked in amazment and I couldn't stop laffin. It's not scary, it's awsome! I have yet to do this on Acid. Soon will ^_^

[stargroove4]

@xDIRECTORSRULEx

Let me know how the Cid works out heh heh.

I'm on nitrous oxide and let's just say, I'm having a nice life flash before my eyes...

[reamraving]

@stargroove4

wut u gotta do is play this while ur buddy fixes u 3 times in a row. after that second hit ur fadin out, 3rd u cant feel urself breathing and then all of a sudden that guitar part kicks in and he does a 10 second verse that confuses the fuck outta u, and by the time u come to hes sayin have a nice life flash before your eyes

[LElongboarder904]

I thought i was dead after i finished watching this video.

[NexCarnifex]

Does this count as doing drugs?

[Gackra]

I-I-I freaked out a little

[zizumia]

seems like something that would be on sesame street

[HarryThePaladin]

@zizumia He actually did do a segment for Sesame Street.

[Vallence172]

@ HansHasHardHands No way in hell im watching this on shrooms

[CountCane1994]

was i just hypnotised

what type of genre would this fall into because its beasty

[T0talFaveL0adKid]

Wow, somehow... "Trippy" doesn't quite cover it...

Captivating is a better word I think...

[globalfreedumb]

what song is this?????????

[redpillguru111]

my best ever Goodwillfind

[Beck436]

It's so damned addictive. Curse you, Vince! Well, no. His Myspace profile is extensive and hilarious.

[HansHasHardHands]

[TeamShox1950]

No lie, this would have you going if you watch this while intoxicated..i did it lmao

[TKGB2006]

I want to comment. I really do. But I don't know what to say. It has a nice song and the animation is pretty sweet but I want to say more than that. But what can I say?

Nothing, that's what.

[jjkills123456]

[BizzarreProductions]

1:26 So THAT'S where they got the idea for the ipod commercial.

Daaah, too much flashing before my eyes, headache! D:

[IAmJesusFoLyphe]

God i love this video...

[omglightsdotcom]

[kersez]

i felt like crying. just had to tell someone.

[ilikebn30]

@kersez I didnt until I read this comment =X

[rambadibow]

Pretentious cunt, I'd say

[zathusura78910]

Everyone is judged according to there own judgements! The fact that you are a *ahem* "philosopher" doesnt mean that your logic there has any jurisprudence to anything. Like Nietzche? Heres a quote, "To forget one's purpose is the commonest form of stupidity. " As far as i knew, philosophy was meant to understand existence so we all could be a little more peacefull, not to justify alienating ones self as a superioir being-

You may know what you say, but not what it means.

[ThePlus09]

shut up yankee skunk

[YellowDartStudios]

i was high at schwagstock this weekend, beautiful campground on the current river with thousands of people. anyway, they have a place called echo bluff where they project videos onto the bluff, and the audio bounces all over the water and walls, i was boomin and saw this video... made me smile real big, had to find out what it was =]

[ymsefisen]

Excellent ending!

[LinkAMN]

Disney might not be too happy about a certain part...

[HMWFish]

[yardbirdsweet]

I feel guilty for wanting to press play again, like I'm completely defeating the purpose of the message.

[revdj]

I saw this decades ago - never forgot it. I've wanted to see it again, and periodically searched the internet for it.

Now my daughter is 3.5 years old, and she is in my lap, and I am about to push play.

Thank you for posting it.

[LilHermanIsBack]

@revdj awe :3

[penguicold]

[SCROOBA12345]

There is more creativity in a given second in this film than I have encountered in years of viewing the product of various animators that I have had the pleasure or misfortune of working with in the last 18 years.

[lollicake]

Who does this song? It's simlply amazing!

:]

[unkahdet]

Simply beautiful. i had a little tear.

[zathusura78910]

lmao!

Entheogen enthusiast?

yeah, another word for that is pretentions cunt- to quote you, "Not fantastic visions and obscure ideas. I speak as-" but then moments later, "I speak as an entheogen enthusiast and as a philosopher and writer of aphorisms (i.e. obscure ideas)"

youre so far up your own ass you dont know what youre saying,

[enjoiCam]

........ ok.

[loraine20tt]

Vincent Collins - Life Is Flashing Before Your Eyes

[DrGonzoPrototype]

Wonderful! I especially love the alligator and hippo ballet dancers. (I'm sure that's a wink to one of the animator's inspirations, Disney's Fantasia!)

[wilkes85]

OH MY GOD! I am high right now, and this was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life. I have never seen anything so beautiful, this animation was so fucking beautiful, you have no idea how beautiful it is. it is just beutiful.
