The Erlking

[SeadogDriftwood]

Absolutely, incredibly masterful - not to mention terrifying, especially the full thing.

[BennyZelk]

You can see the whole film at imdb or at nfb.ca/film/erlking

[JumperTrainer]

[pinkpineapple72]

this is true sand art anamation! iv been watching these things and a lot of it is junk... but this truley isnt!!

[ph6fingeredman]

Awesome! Very flowing and beautiful.

[spamspaz]

I saw the whole thing at the National Film Board of Canada, all the free short films you want :D

[clayca14]

only 44 secons long wtf.

I like this version the best, imagery is great.

Post the whole song noob.

[Arkhangemon]

I'm sorry...but the guy who MADE the video (as in, it's how he makes a living) is on here, and I wouldn't do something as asinine as posting the entire thing here.

The clip is from his website, and I put it up to promote the legal distro of it. Sorry.

[HemMan3]

@Arkhangemon how can I get this? This song is one of my favorites, and the imagery is also great

[richragsdale]

wow

fantastic

[gollum42]

I was at CSSSA as well, 2004. I recall seeing this and having my brain be thoroughly and awesomely boggled by it. And even in this short clip form I am boggled! Boggled! It's so great to see it again, for I remembered it vividly. The crazed persistance and detail that went into this...freyow! Utterly utterly awesome animation! Truly.

-CAP

[breannasaurus]

This is so amazing.

[mastabato]

sick dude this is awesome!

[sixpackdragon]

Benny I was at CSSSA 2006! OMG !!!! So good to see yer work on you tube! Peace & good luck!!

[bennyz]

-and it should only be $20 if you say you are buying it for home use. still a lot for 5 minues, i know, but i don't set the price. and i gotta make a living! thanks for watching- in my biased opinion, i don't think the youtube compression (or the Qt at the site) really does the image justice.

[Arkhangemon]

Ben? You probably don't remember me, but I was at CSSSA in 2003 and remember watching this and being blown away by it, which is why I upped the sample vid from your site on here ;).

I think $20 is fair, also. I

[bennyz]

i tend to remember students' faces and films more than their names (i've always been terrible with names). How very cool to run into you here, though. I was noticing earlier that there are many CSSSA fils on line...

[bennyz]

the website link should be fixed now

[barbedATU]

Great! Wish I could see the whole thing. Where can it be found or purchased?

[Arkhangemon]

Well, the website originally had links to order it, but now they seem to be defunct, so I have no idea.

I'm sorry! Maybe you could email Ben and ask him?

[barbedATU]

Hi. I followed him to the Canadian Film Board's site. I just can't see paying $89 for a 5 minute video. Thanks for the clip though. I will share it with my students.
