Carnaval of Animals - part 8 - Aquarium

[TheG4Ch]

It's not only Harry Potter theme, B theme is used as a ringtone for some older Nokia models ;)

[guydgazit]

That is a definite compliment! Thanks! :)

[shirochancosplay]

it's os eerie I love it <3

[biriboy98]

it's from harry potter

[guydgazit]

It is? I didn't hear it there...

[Arnadath]

@biriboy98 what does this masterpiece by saen sans have to do anything with a shitty book for kids?

[guydgazit]

@Arnadath

I give up... what's the answer?

[Arnadath]

@guydgazit Nothing!

Saen sans was a master-mind, J.K.Rowling was just a poor woman with a good writing skill.

[guydgazit]

@Arnadath Oh...

Well, that's one answer... another is that Saint saens wrote J.K Rowling while The Carnival of Harry Potter comopsed animals... But I might have my facts wrong ;)

[Arnadath]

@guydgazit I give up, this was too funny XD

[ZeroStas]

Beauty and Beast :D

[guydgazit]

Huh?

Disney version? LOL

[rhnpeterson]

@guydgazit Beauty and the Beast's Prologue was heavily influenced by this piece, thats why they sound similar and people get them confused :p

[guydgazit]

@rhnpeterson

cool.

I didn't know that.

[c1130762]

well done! =)

[guydgazit]

Thanks! :)

[StopTheMoti0n]

reminds me of Neptune from Holst's Planets Suite.

[enVme731]

is it ok if I have an erection from watching 1:52 to the end?

[guydgazit]

I don't know... is it?

Won't you get arrested by fish police?

[enVme731]

@guydgazit I hope it is and I guess if it isn't I better not swim in the ocean anymore, I just got bailed out

[guydgazit]

Maybe in the Caribbeans it's OK...

I don't know...

[enVme731]

@guydgazit I guess that means I'll be visiting there soon. I think I am going mad, I want that fish flopping all over me. How can you resist it?

[guydgazit]

I like my fish on a plate...

With a twist of lemon...

Especially that gray big fish... with the snout... you know... the succulent one...

Dolphin, I think....

(LOL, just kidding!!!!!!)

[enVme731]

@guydgazit really? I like mine with a honey glaze on the grill. Mostly I try to get the black and white ones, I forget what type of whale they are called.....amd I knew you had to be joking, dolphins tastes like crap.

[taouane06]

is so cute

[guydgazit]

Thanks! :D

[cellofellow1223]

Lol, fish at the end:)

[guydgazit]

Sushi...

[Rockwildon]

lol

[guydgazit]

now that's a comment I love! :D

[majiklover11]

favorite peice ever love the carnaval of the animals

[guydgazit]

Cool :)

One of mine too.

[waddleduckie1]

The most annoying thing was at the beginning of this video when a harsh voiceover announced the title of the piece. I only wish that someone would speak a little less loud and smooth. Also the sound feedback needs to have less interference. But I love the wonderful animation and before you know it, I am so addicted to the video!

[guydgazit]

LOL... point Taken. The voice for this piece was made by myself, as me and my Friend Eitan Rieger alternated parts narrating the names of the pieces in different accents - I was trying to sound like an Italian... the sound was recorded with a computer microphone (which is bad enough), but I was also not careful and I saved it in 8bit mode! so the quality was reduced...

But, glad you liked it!

[waddleduckie1]

I was very interested in clay animation as a child and was totally engrossed in its appeal. I am sure it is very popular still and I want to know how much time was spent on trying to create a animation using clay and a special camera! All I remember is doing an old typical drawing animation and this type of animation is more sophisticated and advanced than the typical animation I used during class at the Academy of Art in San Francisco.

[guydgazit]

well... this was one of my first attempts in claymation, and I never have learned it properly until recently. So from what I remember every one of these bits took me about 3 hours of filming, not including design, building it and post production - such as editing. all in all - the whole 25 minutes took me about a month and a half or so work.

[bandxgeek]

I feel that this piece is... strikingly modern.

[guydgazit]

well, Saint-Saens was an impressionist, I think :)

[cellofellow1223]

Nope. He was too early for that.

[yoyo95580]

WOW this video has good music sound quality! Your video gives me motivation to learn this song because i'm actually playing the piano part of this piece but yeah it takes me forever to learn pieces. XD

[guydgazit]

Good luck!

And work hard on your music :)

Maybe one day you will get to Carnegy Hall as a pianist ;)

[MinnieLittleStar]

maybe you could tell me where have you fuond the music sheet of this music?? i'm looking for it..and please excuse by bad english!^_^

[guydgazit]

Ummm... I didn't have a music Sheet. I just used an old recording of an orchestra here.

[onewingedangel111]

There's 2 Pianos, A flute and a string section plying htere dear =)

[guydgazit]

cool, I didn't know that :)

[iainetc]

...and a Celesta

[DementedHoundour]

Yes, I have. I haven't seen much else except for ani,e episodes and stuff. ^_^;

[guydgazit]

Well, I hope you liked what you've seen so far :)

[gozala00]

גיא, שנים לימדתי מוסיקה והשתמשתי בדיוק בביצוע הזה. מאחר וזרקתי את כל התקליטים בחודשים האחרונים (והפטפון איתם) הרשיתי לעצמי להעתיק את הביצוע המסוים הזה מהסירטונים הנהדרים שלך - תודה

[guydgazit]

הביצוע הוא של איזושהי תזמורת גרמנית לא כל-כך ידועה (לדעתי), ההפקה של הדיסק בו השתמשתי היא לא ממש איכותית.

אפילו על עטיפת הדיסק משום-מה שכחו לציין את פרק הפינאלה...

[DementedHoundour]

^_^ I love carnival of the animals. It's so pretty. >.<

[guydgazit]

Have you watched any of my other works?

Did you like anything elese you might have seen?

[DementedHoundour]

>.< Yay! Funny claymation fish!

[guydgazit]

Glad you liked it! :)

[ChristiRich]

This is my favourite part of the composition. I play it on the piano frequently.

[guydgazit]

Cool :)

I like it too... but I can't help but think I could have done a bit more with the fish though ;)

[ChristiRich]

Maybe some sea urchins, octopi, and a shark :-)

[guydgazit]

Haha, cool! :)

Good thinking... when I'll re-do a version, I will take you as consultant ;)

[somethinweird06]

that would be pretty cool! no, Im just kidding. But I DO love classical. Which is weird, because people call me a freak?? You just HAVE to love it, if you have the feeling for it. It is just so flowing, and hard to imagine how someone could compose something as beautiful as this...!

Yes, yu probably see now why people get weirded out by me! :)

[guydgazit]

You're not that much different than myself... So at the risk of being FREAKY... Welcome to the club! ;)

[xJC12x]

It's not classical. xP

It's Impressionism.

[guydgazit]

Thanks!

Glad you liked it!

Hopefully will upload some more soon. Newer. Better... ;)

[guydgazit]

Thanks! Have you watched the whole of it by numerical order? (or at least never beofre the Finale part...)

[swimchickslam]

ooh i played this :)

[guydgazit]

Cool :)

[girljacksparrow]

Really, really clever!!! Thanks!

[guydgazit]

Thank you!! :)

[likethecheeze321]

I am so happy to find this! I love the Carnival of the Animals! and yes, Saint Saens is definitely not played or broadcast enough! I am a singer and violinist. And the romantic and impressionist periods are my favorite. The French owned that period of time...Renoir, Monet, Debussy, Saint-Saens...*sighs*

[somethinweird06]

Amen to that, I am so glad that there are some people who like classical music and classical composers! I play cello myself, and I LOVE this style of music, its just great. I am glad that you aren't just some random person who likes rap rock and pop. It makes me quite miffed when people message "Ble..." or "boring..." or something under classical music videos. Glad you like it! I LOVE it!

[guydgazit]

Wow - so many musicians like my work! :)

People - this can be the beginning of a new world-wide -virtual-online-orchestra! :)

(I can play the Jew-Harp!... just kidding)

[guydgazit]

Haha... The french owned many an eras in the history of art, science and philosophy... Well... nobody's Perfect!

[somethinweird06]

Well, look at the facts. all the other music has come and gone! 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, pop, rock is beginning to fade, rap is UNFORTUNATELY fairly popular, but I will firmly hope that that infernal annoying, profane noise will die out soon.

But CLASSICAL however, is still very popular on radio stations you hear, even though not many of the younger people agree with me, classical is still in style. It has survived and grown from baroque to orchestras from the middle of the 17th century.

[guydgazit]

True!...

You forgot the ACID/HOUSE/TRANCE kinds which hopefully will begone soon!...

Long live Classical music! (And Jazz too... Folklore music is cool too) :)

[somethinweird06]

oops..forgot it, didnt I?

I apologise if i offend anyone with this statement but I still think rap isn't music. compared to THIS, rap is nothing but excess noise. Theres no need to play it so loud, with their shattering beats (which happen to be all the same if you listen closely)

[drienkovica]

Camille Saint-Saens RULEZZ

[guydgazit]

I love him.

I think he is an under-apreciated composer.

Not performed or broadcast enough.

[drienkovica]

all the impressionistic artists have been under-appreciated, musicians, art painters and the others as well...

[guydgazit]

Well... Debussy isn't under appreciated (I think), and neither are artists such as Renoir and Monet (and others).

[drienkovica]

Yes they were under appreciated, most of them became famous and reputable only after their death you know.

[guydgazit]

Ahh... but that is almost always the thing about artists... they need to die in order for someone to make money of their art!... :)

[drienkovica]

So when you'll die, your claymation projects will be famous and your children will make money of your art! :)

(I'm only joking, they're pretty cool even if you're alive)

[guydgazit]

Haha, Thanks.... I think!

[pianogirl714]

this is sooo gorgeous!!

[guydgazit]

Thank you very very much! :)

Being Pianogirl714... have you seen the "Pianist" piece - from "Carnival of the animals" yet?

[guydgazit]

No problem friend :)

And thanks again.

[guydgazit]

working on shrinking it... takes a whole lot of time though...

[guydgazit]

Thanks! :)

Have you seen the whole of it?

I'm planning on uploading the full movie (all 15 bits together).

[guydgazit]

I'm so glad you liked it!

Thanks for watching, and I'll do my best to post more soon.

[beadazzle51]

I liked this one and your others. If someone happens upon your site like i did i hope they will enjoy your work as i have. Thanks
