Neighbors - Vancouver Film School (VFS)

[unwantedillusions]

is the author who made : 'a trick of the wind' ? if my memory isn't bad.. because of the character that appears at 3:09 eating.

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@unwantedillusions Nope, not the same animator but they were in the same class together.

[Kasen717]

This was well-executed. You can never please everyone all the time. So negativity, even to art that some perceive as genius, will always occur.

[yummieyummie123]

this shouldnt have as many dislikes as it does.

[NervengiftDeluxe]

It's kind of weird Oo...

[Temulenta]

confusing... the fly...

[ayramSeven]

Are you sick?

¬¬

Ok, I need make a confession.. I like this, maybe I'm sick too xD

Very nice!!!

[hohappyhing]

??????

[MissezEI]

i love it

[morbydance]

no feeling...3 stars

[ronnie22shade]

sad fr u

[ronnie22shade]

reminds me of bill plymton

[ronnie22shade]

totally love it...this is called art house/ experimental/expressionsm....e rest are jus considered low art or commercial art...onli ppl with considerably high intellectual are able to appreciate this form of works...they require u to go into the art form and study it....theres high meaning behind these art forms...it would be good if people can appreciate both forms of art style...

[Leadman1989]

"onli ppl with considerably high intellectual are able to appreciate this form of works"................. sure

[Tasha347]

That was very disturbing...I dont understand it, I didn't enjoy it much.

There's probably some meaning to it, and an explanation of what it is, i just didn't get it.

[jessie2no1]

Yup. I think the same...but the flys were somehow scary...hopeI dont dream about them...:/ oh, HAPPY NEW YEAR! :) (its 1 am here where I live)

[incantatis]

interesting episode about dead women in the bed and death, comforting her spirit (little girl). Though the scene of children chasing pig gave me associations about Willam Golding story "Lord of the flies". Intersesting stuff! Recomemnd to read it

[wowkid653]

u guys are fucked up just a lil bit

[bgirlraiderette20]

FTW?

♥BW♥

[kaiserwilhelm23]

strange hystory but well made although i realy didn't get it it keeps my mind going

[xxuselessbulletsxx]

LOVED IT!! very deep and twisted. Going to my favorites!

[xL0vexLess]

i don't got it ._."

but i think the flies give the saying "fly on the wall"

[radlizards]

I'm not going to pretend that I "got it" but I like watching it. A lot.

[cogsinthemachine]

this was really disturbing but i liked it. the flies were very symbolic i thought. they were maybe representing 'all seeing' or 'all knowing', like 'a fly on the wall'? reminded me of some long forgotten childrens story that gave me nightmares for years. very dark. thank you.

[EvaGun]

I think it does very much represent suburban life, and says a lot about a lot of things. It's by far one of my favorite animations.

It does make you think, too.

Genius.

[kevinguy247]

That was terrifying, distgusting and disturbing...

[Yomadman]

.....lost me on that one

[Solymr]

This is so true :(. Anyone next to you.

[loaf92]

creepy...uh i dont get the point but, it was a good cartoon

[Kaloba147]

Scary, disturbing, completely RANDOM, and oddly I love it. In it's disturbed way, even though I think it was just random stuff. It told you a little bit of life, somehow.... how different people do different stuff. Don't know about the skinless guy, or the fat guy in the bed. It was just scary I guess... randomness by all means is created by a true genious

[pukeke017]

luv it

[SugarSugarCutie]

Creepy...VERY creepy... But good!

[ACJW4FT]

i don't get this man

[guilhermesetti]

that trip man

[Sladkaya666]

sad

[StevXtreme]

It's a surreal cartoon goddamnit! You people need to stop living under rocks....

[StevXtreme]

It brings forth (from what I've understood in 4 mins of view) the human vices (prevalently sloth) and even treats about death (near the very end of the movie).

I'm still uncertain thou about the final flies: being only a method of "fading to black" or actually meaning "Stop wasting your life watching TV and being so lazy!"...

[emobangs67]

i've analyzed this three times and i've decided it meanes almost nothing.especially the flies! and stop using ()! IT'S ANNOYING

[birmingham1010]

I think these weird people (including some normal ones from the beginning) are all neighbors. We know this because we see this as the flies fly from one place to another. We see what the flies see. But I don't know about the fat man sleeping at 2:06. I think she killed him but what are the stuff on his bed? Leech?

[guilhermesetti]

hahahaha

[onebraid]

Oh yeah... I hate when that happens.

[RammTube]

LSD trip

[hafeu123]

thats exactly what i was thinking

[bre3004]

Very crazy

[quinyeager]

I......don't......get........i­t...............

[10072450]

wtf was that

[Saks1990]

pandora box

[Rockrchik53]

What are you on?

[capoile]

man i was high and it was like the first time a i saw pink floyd the wall...very hight,,, thx for this feeling!

[Nmason78]

SCARY

[noonecaresaboutwes]

interesting style and transitions

[theatrextechie]

Scary, disorienting, fascinating, absolutely crazy.

And absolutely awesome. :D!

[Freezer7Pro]

This remind me of Salad Fingers in so many ways.

[PunkyFoofie]

i thought the same thing.

[milchss]

I love this style of drawing, Kinda like the Maxx.

Which tools did U use to create this?

Way great

[Sceptical112]

The only reference I get is the Lord of the Flies where a bunch of kids are charging spears at a pig...Hmm...

[debbieannsilva]

0_o i dont get it plus it was really freaky and scary sorry but i am only being honest....

[NejiBadBoy]

i didn't really get it, but i still like it.

[axrt]

scary, confusing, weird.. but still like it! great job!

[sleepwalker4u]

i knew death was a chick......

[tmonkeypunch]

One of the MOST unique videos I've ever seen.

[innerself9]

strange but facinating

[Necromancer1389]

Is it a parody off of lord of the flies. The chase scene, ther reaper? Excellent sybolisim.

[Fankarlin]

I like the unhelathy person behind the film, art or not, he or she dares with is more then many othes. And that might count as art it self. But then again, what is art?

[dexternp]

worst thing i have ever seen. are you some kind of pshyco???????

[iluvlucy031282]

i don't get it... at all.... anyone care to possibly explain?

[Eddynka]

neither do I...=o

[killakon1]

dude every scean is like a murder sequence wtf O_O good tho

[jenny911]

Its very confusing. Barely makes sense. Very beautiful... But still barely makes sense...?!

[Ryshu]

this is gonna give me nightmares, LoL

[utahrealtor]

what the hell?

[Kenji000]

This was on the same level as abstract art. Fresh, different, and complete nonsense.

Life is weird, that is a fact, but having no greater purpose than to state that life is weird makes a mockery of art.

[khal007]

you might want to remember that the higher purpose here is study of art. Plus art isn't a photograph taken by a robot - think on that for a while. No really think about it. Your definition of "art" is wrong. All art is subjective, but objective.

[Kenji000]

I do not wish to troll but if "Art" is subjective, then my personal point of view of Art's purpose to be objective, is correct in my eyes.

This was mearly my interpretation of this peice of art, I did not see anything particularly deep or meaningful in it for me. Thusly, in my comment I stated this. I am not claiming to be any kind of art athority, mearly stating my PoV.

Your robot example is just what I see in abstract art. With meaning found by interpreting ordinary into extrodinary.

[khal007]

Well just because you have an opinion, it doesn't mean you can say "this is a mockery of art".

It isn't; it isn't meant to be; it's what it is: a school project where people learn.

I suppose you like Tim Burton? What do you suppose he was drawing in school? Stuff like this. There's no mockery, there's no point being negative. Take it for what it is.

[skootfairy]

my subjective PoV is that you are an idiot :)

[skootfairy]

...and yes, i am a troll kenji000

[0michelle]

very nice!

[darnitalltohell]

disturbing

[rusuvick]

omfg! how dumb can u people be? it is not supposed to make any sense. He wanted to represent life in its diverse and grotesque formes. Each scene is another piece of reality, and as with life you can't get them to be harmonious or even relevant to each other. To only linking element is the fly which, in part, symbolises the decadence and meaningless of life. I believe, the creator surprises very well and imaginative neighbourhood life, in all its aspects...Thank you!

[plantasmus]

You sir, deserve standing ovation! :o I completely agree with you. Sometimes when you may not understand something or it might not make any sense, that's the most fascinating thing. And this video is one of the most awesome videos I've seen in a while. And that's final! <3

[iyarjani]

wtf?

[MikePortnoyz]

Too much metaphors and allegories make you sick.

[ElectroJulie]

I would love to have a screen saver with all the flies !!!

[manuelbres93]

i didnt get this... i like the style

[Nmason78]

i didn't get it asshole

[Dfork46]

it wasnt bad, but i dont get it

none of that had any relevance to any other part of the movie

[luthienali]

wtf!

it doesn't have any sense!!!

i didn't like it

[peanutsthyname]

wtf i dont get it

[m0nkeypr0n]

what are u 5 years old? rly this might be the worst shit in whole youtube. grow up kids

[siljepai88]

OMG!!! :D i LOVED it :D

[Tis2much4ya]

creeeeeppyyy

[plantasmus]

Wow.. What a cool animation. I liked it very much. :p For some reason, maybe it was the style or feel of the film, but it make me think of Aeon Flux.. xD Definitely going in my favorites!

[psytorrest]

completely insane, out of this planet ....

[hamxham]

this was good but...totally demented

[beachbumx22]

weird neighborhood it didn't make to much sense to me

[Ifthikhar768]

same here!

[Ravenhound7]

that was pretty wild

[88rubi]

I wonder what the Point was But It was very abstract.

Great Job! :)

and "disasteress" Is 100% Right. xD

[disasteress]

ohh flattery will get you anything! :-) thanks

[hooskinbagen]

O.O

[disasteress]

I thought it was pretty interesting and it makes you think, by trying to figure out what it "means". Isn't that what art is supposed to be about? Make you think? I think it is great that everyone could bring their own personal thought, feelings, experiences, prejudices, fears, etc... into it and make it their own.

I also really liked how the flies were depicted from below...it almost gave me a sense of (excuse the morbid thought) the movie being filmed from the "perspective" of a corpse.

[johncho12]

i agree - and i think that lol, i think thats what the flies are for haha... thats so weird

[brot444]

WTF ????

[davidatwork]

That is one strange place. I am glad I don't live in that neighborhood.

[luddeknut]

that was a wierd neighbourhood...:/

[RHCProck182]

traumatic dude

[LeastLife]

wtf?

[anashadkuo53]

what the hell?

[XenoBoT]

Excellent animation, my god. And don't pick out quin for expressing his opinion, he/she is certainly entitled to it.

[supergsx]

why do people always seem to use the words "entitled" and "opinion" in the same sentences?

IT WAS CREEPY.

[XenoBoT]

because it's a common phrase used in the English language.

[blojos]

I don't get it...

[quinyeager]

I am sorry but I just don't like it

and also, don't spam me please for what i said

comments are for COMMENTING on what you think of the movie/video. and I am commenting saying I don't exactly like it. Admit i have a point and do not spam please

[tillyandmisty]

You cant be mad at guinyeager for speaking what he thinks, i say!

but i do like this vid, a bit strange, i have to amdit!

[MdoubleVproducties]

The fly is the red-line in this story right?

It's not about all the random things. Its the way how they are being connected? That's the fly doin'right?

[ToffeeBear15]

I don't really understand this..?

[spoonspoonspoons]

.........? That was like a bad trip.... I'd love to know the point, so that I could be impressed, as is, I couldn't find anything. Although, I must say, it was really cool how you showed the flies from the underside, whereas usually we would only see them from their backs. Neat, but way weird.

[jennal720]

the creeepy laugh at the end scared me.

i was just scrolling down reading the comments after the video and the "gehahhahahhahah"

i jumped out of my chair.

[pubtor]

nice but the plot is weird...

[meatkoala]

wtf.... sorry vancouvor films i like most of ur vids but to the student who made this, you are creative but make things a lil too random :)

[wolfgar45]

yeap!!!...);-,

[looker186]

i dont understand

[little3nikki]

nope I don't get it either

[barak5100]

trippy and demented

just the way i like em

[myecotpia]

Ok, I'm sorry , but this video made no sense. What was the main point?

[Madarze]

weirdest thing I've seen for a long time.

[ledodmoshe]

weird...
