Four Ton Mantis

[saintfather]

Highly professional stuff. Great video and music. People who dislike this, you better go for Britney Spears or other kind of glamorous junk.

[cecisota12]

mixed feelings about the video, but the song is really pretty brilliant.

[cecisota12]

I don't think you're supposed to get it. it's more thematic, i think... like talking about a certain idea or something. that's pretty common in experimentals, i think...

and just so you know, im no pretentious art school student... i just like watching this sort of thing :P

[ShinFer26]

@cecisota12 It's fine when an art means something; but don't missunderstand it with saying than a thing means something just being random; sorry if I didn`t explain well.

[plechazunga00000]

This video is well made and everything, but it strikes me as rather pretentious. I mean seriously, I'm all for being bizarre and shit, but when you just stick in a fucking robotic prey mantis out of nowhere, its seems like your just trying to replace actual meaning with being an avant garde douchebag.

[xzc426]

trippy

[chelseadee1989]

I think this vid is an acquired taste. Definitely not boring, which is an accomplishment in itself. Kind of difficult to keep paying attention all the way to the end, but overall, super interesting. Props.

[x6h0ztx]

Pro Video...

What programs did you use for this ?

[Masakione]

Now this is more like art :)

[inumanu]

this amon tobin art.u like it or hate it

[davidjonasdesign]

Visually interesting but somehow it was really hard to keep my concentration all the way to the end. A little vague... or maybe I just didn't get the point.

[fatmikecj]

Yeh I have the same problem. It's like some kind of art school media presentation thing. There could be a mesage in there somewhere, but the creator was too busy showing off. Having said that maybe I just missed the point. Anyone get it? Anyone?!

[lThellRockl]

.....I'm trying to get what this clip means but, the more i watch the more, confuse i'll get......hmmmm

[kishbot]

stylez.

[aerobique]

amoon ToBin

[aerobique]

good

[vianegativa85]

befitting of Amon Tobin's music style, love it.

[Sawechka]

супер!

[Iisei880]

cool... but a little disturbing.

[snakeyez7z]

I thought maybe the chick laying on the floor was tripping on LCD or something, and everything being shown was what she was seeing.

[Deed1992]

you mean LSD right?

[juvenilevoodoo]

yeah, the chick was really tripping on her LCD tv in the bathroom. There`s no LCD like a bathroom LCD, as Albert Hoffman said once, kids take LCD is good for you on those lonely Sundays when Oprah is HBO

[GovernmentalStatisti]

Wow, that was... I don't know but I like it.

[saemj]

The music would be great if the quality werent so shabby :(

[chrisarchangellus]

different, but way too weird for my taste

[musicdude101]

i feel that people need to appreciate this more artistically then a regular video. Try to watch it with an open mind.

[audadvnc]

It is unnerving, I like it. Don't wanna live in that world, but it's interesting to visit.

[socks1999]

hands down the worst furture short i've seen.

[TheTruthTTT]

Urgh. bad. Headache.

[nambypamby34]

Too drug induced..

[funkiemonkeys]

good one

[mullahnasrudin21]

the last point the vid shows us would be the human itself. i think it shows that at some point the human becomes uninportant and can't take it anymore to live in such a consume addicted society and gets crazy. but this is only my interpretation of the clip.

[mullahnasrudin21]

i think this is a very good clip. the way i interpretate it is that it shows us how we just want to consume more, build everything taller than before, make everything faster than before and then it shows that doing this is completley unnessessery because we got so much of everything that we waste it and destroy it, while at at the same time these things are needed.

[tkobvious]

I have random flashes of crap like this in my mind every once in awhile, I find it to be annoying to watch in video form though. So extremely random is ultra artistic right? 5 stars on cool editing though.

[muffinz1995]

random...

[utlcutl]

wow ... that was intense ... didn't get it but that was intense

[acidsoda1]

its art in video form. beautiful. i wish u would have told us that it wasnt really a short film. Its more of a music vid.

[pdobbie]

Doesn't actually seem to be all that unique of a video...

[blah11blah]

I liked it...

I thought it was unique and interesting

I don't get why it was rated so poorly

Perhaps this isn't as intriguing to others as it is to me

Or perhaps I just have poorer taste

[KWarren7]

Uh...what?...I...um...WTF?

[goody1984rambler]

its kinda videoclip for music, bot not short movie

IMHO

[Jdog2360]

Pause at 4:00

[rhyscannon10]

BOOBIES!!!

[Nightmarefhk]

amazing piece of art

[mastuh00]

wat

[nakubu]

this is the Amon Tobin clip and it's nine (!) years old!

and it's still kicks ass! .)

[luciano1007]

seems like the mantis likes the pants but not the content

[bham58]

This made "Un Chien Andalusia" look like a documentary.

[XZekeX]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO IN THE FUTURE PANTS WILL GO EXTINCT xD

[xXBboyiceXx]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

wiat... whats pants?

LOLOLOL

[XZekeX]

=o? is that what kids are calling it now?

[niiidar]

Am I the only one that didn't get this?

[jordanamachado]

no. i didn't get it either. =p

[TehFipFlops]

nope. i didn't either. If you ask me it was lame though >.>

[eelexa]

Really creepy meets really lame.

[meheh]

Kind of ridiculous.

[fear98scare]

.........o_0" ccccrrrreeeeeeeeeeeppppyyyyyy.­.......

[Sillyfeet13]

ummm oooooook?

[RaterRate]

I don't get it but it's somewhat disturbing

[iamunderstand]

Uh...

[mrfilanges]

It's got a darkness to it that is compelling.

[Aviv36]

Righhhht... :|

[yutubecop]

i like it. its weird and i like the editing. i dont know what the story is though.

my guess

all the people are fake, and their body parts are travelling to the junk. the praying matis eats that.

[ALEX2998]

No one is going to call this art you fucking crack heads.

[zeffii]

issues!

[sdfsdagh]

Somewhat, for this video...i totally agree with you, some parts of art are not understandable, but people are taking that tooooo far...

[saluja6]

4th

[davejsa71289]

[freaky108]
