xkcd - Alternative Energy Revolution

[IAMLiveBait]

As captain of my soccer team i put "Don Quixote Lord of lamancha(or whatever)" song on our warm up cd..they laughed at me, but we were undefeated....

[pokerrace]

Wow, I was expecting another shitty done xkcd slideshow, instead what I found was a fantastically produced animation of the original. Brilliant job, man.

[bashibazouks77]

I initially didn't get the man at the end months ago. Read Don Quixote coincidentally, saw the comic again, and I went OHHHHH....!!!

[KOTYAR0]

All the changes in the world, for good or evil, were first brought about by words. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis

[yggrunt]

to see sth as genious as this made me really happy ^^

to be honest i nearly cried when i saw don quichotte

really good animation

[tobiasmar2]

This totally makes the comic come alive.

[StrikerSL9]

The moment their arms spun freely in our air, they were doomed -- for Man has earned his right to hold this planet against all comers, by virtue of occasionally producing someone totally batshit insane.

[pyroneph]

oh man this was actually funny

[discursion]

Excellent! You might consider trying to make little variations with the heads of your characters.

[warecreepers]

And do spork!

[warecreepers]

I love this one!

[TheJEFedo17]

For man has earned the right to defend his claim to Earth from all comers, even by producing someone totally batshit insane.

The scroll-over text, one of my favorites

[StallordD]

I love Susumu Hirasawa. Is there any animation you could do with "the girl from byakkoya"?

[colt45joe]

@StallordD xkcd animation? or any kind of animation?

[StallordD]

@colt45joe really anything, but i do love your xkcd.

[DiggrBoi]

why is there no "f*ckin' LOVE!" button?

[42aGhost]

Anyway... this is epic.

[42aGhost]

@GUARDIANOFFOR shit. take an English class before the grammar Nazis invade your house.

[MirokuYaoiboy]

I wish I could fall in love with a tavern wench.

[humson0]

You should do the journal series or, and I know there's not a whole lot of panels in this one, "find you.

[colt45joe]

@humson0 the journal series is awesome. I just cant find the right music for it. "find you" on the other hand ... sure, I might do that one.

[lforlight]

I DEMAND MOAR!

[colt45joe]

@lforlight I'm working on it. slowly.

[GuardMedic36]

Lol @ Quixote

[Hampsterman4]

Is it just me, or does the girl look like she has a slight beard?

[colt45joe]

@Hampsterman4 lol, yeh it does, like a goatee..

[bashibazouks77]

Watched it going Oh WOW~ all the while. You HAVE to make an XKCD compilation and somehow make a movie. You rock, dude.

[cpPete993]

This animation is so perfect. It looks EXACTLY like the original comic just in video form and even more epic.

[Benes911]

Great video; well done :)

[crosstrian]

must have been fun to make :) good job man

[gambit7775]

Y doesnt Stallman save us with his katanas!

[patu8010]

This is just awesome

[Rufochka]

@colt45joe I agree with @runedeadthA your animations are great.. this one is awesome!... and the music, again, fantastic!

[bookeater]

I'm farely sure that Susumu Hirasawa is incapable of not making any song he makes sound EPIC

[eyeammi]

Hehe, I'm working on a wind turbine research program and I have this comic hanging on my office door at work.

[ECRWriter]

I probably sound like an idot by saying this, but: What program do you use to animate?

[colt45joe]

@ECRWriter Adobe Flash

[ECRWriter]

@colt45joe thnx!

[123funwithanun]

al gore youve doomed us all!

[123funwithanun]

i have a feeling that background was repeating....

[G00st432]

You managed to combine two of my favorite things:

XKCD and Susumu Hirasawa. You are a god amongst animators!

Thanks for this!

[Shadrannat]

"The moment their arms spun freely in our air, they were doomed -- for Man has earned his right to hold this planet against all comers, by virtue of occassionally producing someone totally batshit insane."

:)

I love this

[xXHisExcellencyXx]

what is this music?

[colt45joe]

@xXHisExcellencyXx

"The Westward Of Time" by Susumu Hirasawa

[Libertarianist]

How quixotic.

[TheAnnaShowUk]

very well done, I like this! do more! your very good, like simons cats animation styley good, even if its xkcd artwork I really like it!

[rockmessiah142]

I would also like to add that the windmills instead headed west and did not attack the villiage...that is all

[Someducklovinggeek]

So suscribed.

[souris1782]

this is my damn favourite XKCD cartoon. nice work ^^

[runedeadthA]

Please make more of these, you animation is great and synchs really well with the music. You rock!

[colt45joe]

@runedeadthA . thank you. i have plans to make more. but, I am very slow.. so yea, it might take years...

[rockmessiah142]

Who else, but Don Quixote!

[RaistlinMajere333]

@rockmessiah142 But where's the little fat guy who follows him around? He played an important role in the Windmill-slaying.

[narutofreak142]

@RaistlinMajere333 lol oh sancho yes i do wonder where he is...

[BytEfLUSh]

This is amazing! I still can't believe how awsome it looks... Bravo!

[CuriousOnlookers]

This has got to be one of my favorite things on the internet. Epic.

[AshyenMagnerus]

Don Quijote, save us!

[psychiafreak]

Oh my god. It literally comes alive. Haha <3 Thank you for this.

[Phatency]

I love how well you made the animation sync with the music. And I agree with bluplr, these should have much more views.

[kralyk311]

Brilliant!

[KageShinjiketo]

This is just, WOW seriously well done indeed.

[system0101]

ossumness

[bluplr]

These deserve so much more recognition, good work!

[laserman]

These just get better and better.

[COLDCHEMICALpresents]

XD awesome!

It would have been even better if at the end you included the "comment" attached to the cartoon while slowly zooming out of an image of Earth...
