The Greatest Ape

[CalStrackplays]

Very nice, the wacky left field ending caught me off guard, but I guess that was the point lol!

[Jameson3632]

Blue ape sounds a lot like James Woods...

[Sishiful]

I was shown some animations some students had done at MCAD, and this was my favorite of all of them. Very well done!

[TheIntermissionShow]

This is great! XD

[johanstone]

great, great animation, great ending, cool job man

[NodTrooper]

OOooooohkkaaaaay. IMO I do think Chester overreacted though.

[hotstuffwatcher]

@NodTrooper no way i mean the red guy HIT HIM TWICE ON THE SAME SPOT! thats unforgiveable

[holyknight234]

how does he goes back to his windmill?

[punkrocker95]

This is epic! Your college came and showed this to us too, along with a Harder Better Faster animation. This is amazing!(:

[xXderka17Xx]

Kermit if you ever read this I will be happy but thank you for showing me the genius that is this animation.

[octopus1138]

@xXderka17Xx Piggy, I'm happy to helped. Time's fun when you're havin' flies!

[Deathbunny600]

Your college came to BTW and showed us this video and I loved it so much!

[caltigo]

Awesome animation :) I really hope you become professional someday! :D

[fulouzero]

Watching this makes me want to quit working for my engineering degree and pick up animation.

[petro1986]

Look Monkeydust-ish, nice!

[katieb1111]

Ah yay it's on youtube~! I saw this on the MCAD website awhile ago, I was really impressed. I love the interactions between the characters at the end, the small movements of their hands and the facial expressions and stuff really brought them to life.

[DirgeReaver]

"am i bleeding, is that blood ?!" "no you hairy"

BEST PART

[youtubasoarus]

That was epic!

[TheImperialGazz]

Still my favorite Owen Short.

[shadowlink21889]

LAWL!

[H3LLK3RN]

very cool animasion

[stolendata]

this idea seems to be stolen from the old quick/qbasic game GORILLAS, where you had two gorillas in a terrain that battled by throwing bananas on eachother, destroying eachother and the terrain they played on.

[octopus1138]

@stolendata I probably stole it from that game.

[propuke]

@stolendata So what? _That_ game appears to be stolen from TANK WARS that came out a year earlier, & that from a load of other junk, eventually leading back to ARTILLERY on the Apple II. Who gives a damn?

octopus1138: cool animation bro

[MarkSickBoy]

ohhh god.....the animation so goooood......and i die with the ending XD

Congrats ;)

[TheRealEchoElite26]

I fucking LOVE THIS!

[Itachisasukekiller]

I take it that a prerequisite explanation to why the gorillas are living on windmills wasn't required for your thesis.

[SirDamned]

I havn't seen such great story structure since I read twilight.

[MarkSickBoy]

@SirDamned that its just saaaaaaaaadd

[FxAxF]

Stunning, just stunning :)

[octopus1138]

@FxAxF Thank you, so nice you had to say it twice ;-)

[FxAxF]

Stunning, just stunning :)

[NonCommente]

1:19 to 1:24 was glorious.

[briecinc]

This is phenomenal. keep up the good work

[CNAsweetpeas47]

haha like the people down below said, the MCAD guy came to our school today!!!! i love this vid :D

[musicfreakonaleash]

Somre recruiter from MCAD showed us this video today in my cartooning and animation class, and I just have to say that I fell in love with Chester. :D

[octopus1138]

@musicfreakonaleash Awesome. I'm glad you like it

[guthixXXL]

I was looking for the song windmill windmill from gorillaz...

[octopus1138]

@guthixXXL

I never even thought of that connection.  Awesome. Good song though. You're looking for Feel Good Inc. *thumbs up*

[lakeoballguy]

Some recruiter came to my high school. He was showing us your college and during the presentation he showed us this animation. Everyone loved it! And im most likely going to MCAD for a Web and Multimedia major.

[octopus1138]

haha awesome. This makes me happy. Good luck at MCAD.

[DasAntiNaziBroetchen]

LOL!

nice work!

but sometimes the animation is a bit laggy.. i mean, when they throw an object, there is something like a delay..

[therru]

completely surprising ending will make it very memorable in years ahead. Great Job!

[8elizaire]

wickedy split matey, we should hook up, got some shorts could do with a decent animator. love it.

[umwhoami]

this makes me think of what, i imagine, coconuts milking each other would look like.... think about it.

[octopus1138]

I thought about this comment for a long time now. I really don't know what to make of it.

[Trassk13]

complete awsomeness... the animation alone won this one for me... GREAT WORKMANSHIP

[deanx0r]

Really good stuff Owen. Can't wait to see what comes next.

[zestymonserellastick]

owen...this is hpil...this vid was actually pretty freakin awesome

[TheImperialGazz]

Sheer Unadulterated Awesomeness! I love it man. Very Ghibli esque.

[stakyl]

Very nice, my friend. Tell me you got some of the sfx from my good ol hard drive.

[Elipsys]

So which one is the greatest?

[octopus1138]

It's a choose your own adventure, you're doing it wrong.
