I'm finding myself completely captivated by the Chimerascope films and watch them over and over. The animation is breathtaking and the stories portrayed are thought provoking and very touching.
Love it. I don't think any other form of animation could ever get across the creepiness and gross-out factor as stop motion. Great story, great execution.
This video describes my life as a video producer. coming up with what you think is good and people quickly give you the smack down. But they wont stop me, I will come up with something different and better..
I think this video could apply to me, in the sense that I am my own critic, and I am feeding my criticism by abandoning projects. It's better to have SOMETHING than have a bunch of projects that "aren't good enough".
This was the first of V-Sama's Chimerascopes that I had ever seen...and while I was a tad disturbed, I was equally fascinated and wowed by the quality of his work. Ah...how I love him and his jack-of-all-tradedness. :3
This short is actually very beautifully well done. I love the comparisson of artists to a cat. It is pretty true. Though I'm only a teenager and people tend to love my work, it's usually only because they can't do better themselves and aren't real critics, or are just trying to make me feel good.
Everyone who made this video is amazing!! Wonderful short
True yet false. I myself get this all the time. Tis only opinion yet opinions are wrong. All of them, yours and mine. Its of course the cycle of life and death. People say they understand then criticize it when they didn't even understand. Its like looking at a bird and saying "that thing has no arms and a screwed up nose so its a horrible!!! Lets kill them!" and eventually the dodo's died out.
I would comment something witty and flattering, but it wouldn't be enough to give this video what it deserves. Fortunately, all the awards and nominations listed in the description almost do enough.
Wow, i this this is great! great job to you Voltaire, for putting this together and also thanks to Danny Elfman for the narration! it really sounds and looks great!
I relate ALOT to this mummified cat, people only notice the flaws of my ideas and art, instead of appriciate the main idea. If you feel the same, thumbs up?
Side note: Been watching a lot of interesting stuff lately about how the art gallery scene has become ruined by perpetual meaningless picture-making exercises to sell crap to ignorant rich folk playing a high-end version of the comic book speculation that nearly killed the mainstream comic book industry in the 90s. Art criticism has been invariably affected by this as well. So you will see lots of brilliant artists ignored while too much attention is given to dumb diamond covered skulls.
Also it always tickles me whenever I find work that critics deem as 'crap' that is actually quite good. Whether it be gallery art, film, comics, games, music or what have you. It's just that the critics didn't 'get' it, and sifting through their reasoning it usually comes down to them largely simply not being creative people, and only working with a frame of reference of what has come previously - so they tend to be most pleased by amped up rehashes they erroneously call innovative.
i can not stop watching this!

Your work is amazing; and I must say that is how us artists think... It's an interesting experience; certainly..
It's like seeing the world with another set of eyes different than the 'average'. It may cause it's problems.. but it also has its uses..
