amazing work.

[emeraldas]

Fucking awesome stuff, guys. Congratulations!!

[shadowrosegx]

this is great it mixes real time actors, pupets and animation and makes for a very colorful story

[deadman00]

good attempt. at least u did not make the mistake of the other remake and make this a 'talkie'

[Rocketeer4them]

Very good stuff Gavin - from an old mate.

[datalal624]

Wow. I am impressed! Great job, guys!

[VAMPIREBIRDIE]

Not bad.

[joeblowthehot]

so very good!!!!!!

[Phoust76]

Damn! Yes!

[Fledrmaus]

I love your use of the word "eldritch" - so antique and atmospheric! Much better than the original, which refers to Caligari as "a mountebank" - that's the English translation, anyway, not sure how the original German read.

[martin7970]

Mute the music and play Coil's "Anal Staircase"

it works.

[dude833]

amazing! great job on this!

even the original scared the hell out of me lol

[ernialvaraoz]

da miedo i intriga

[lbyrnth20]

very nice!

[djbethell]

This is superb. Well done. Great work.

[malcolmtheundertaker]

The original film is legendary. However, the ending is something that always bothered me...

It was suggested by Fritz Lang, Robert Wiene had nothing to do with it.

It was an attempt to make the movie politically correct.....Authority can be insane sometimes. But there always comes the tome when authority is the guardian of sanity and order.

[R100ROSE]

Oh my god! This whole video is going to give me nightmares (if i'm not to scared to fall asleep). Good job.

[Fledrmaus]

I loved it! Congratulations - you've achieved a real sense of nightmare, and the combination of live action, animation and puppetry was very exciting.

[cha5]

Very nice job except--

SPOILER****

(Oh c'mon, If you're a fan of this classic film you'll know all this) The 'Asylum' sign at the very begining gives away the fact that this takes place in an insane asylum and that the two men who open the film are mad, When in the original film that's not revealed until the very end.

Outstanding job anyways,

I really love the Caligari puppet.

[djbethell]

You are a SPOILER

[cha5]

(shrug) Sorry about that, I really didn't give away anything that's not common knowledge about this film IMHO.

[djbethell]

No offence meant (it was said with a smile - honest). It's just we all know the ending of Psycho too, but there's a whole generation always coming up that are seeing it for the first time. It's nice to let people see films for the first time without knowing how it ends. Didn't you get to see Cabinet without knowing the end once too?

[DkEugen]

Yuck, my favorite horror film just got butchered.

[Rozmbar]

It´s good. But If I tried to remake this clasic, I would try to change the story to it´s original censored purpose, that means without the end where is said that everything happened in his insane minde. But I liked it.

[marblecrust]

Very creepy but also very very brilliant. Love it.

[OorvakanSar]

Why is he dressed like a pilgrim.

[lithium68681]

A new masterpeice. I love it.

[KrakenSoundscapes]

Very, very good.A very cool hommage to Robert Wiene. Now plese make one for Nosferatu eine symfonie des Grauens and Der müde Tod :-)

[gavoid]

thank you, and thats an interesting idea!

[Clicephas]

Great tribute! Thank you!!!!

The original film was by Robert Wein in 1919 (I think). Wein was a commercial director but his film became the landmark of German expressionism cinema.

[b4ifly2paradise]

BRILLIANT!

[hobo93]

That Dr. Caligari is freakin' scary! Great video!!!

[valvador22]

Oh my God, it's so great !!!! BRAVO

[McGeesJabberwock]

That was really freaky. Loved the puppet Caligari ( who looked like a demented hybrid of the Joker and the Penguin from Batman) and the eerie music.

[Kregermeister]

Pretty good man, some things were a tad over exadurated, but Id say it was a solid view and well constructed.

[StrawberryZombie]

This is so amazing. The variety of media used really astounded me...one of the most creative pieces I've ever seen.

[blackenbmx02]

this piece was excellent!

did you compose the score for this film by any chance?

[thomasbant]

fucking brilliant video. well constructed. keep up the great work. classic.

[Deadmeatproductions]

WOW!!!!! Seriously, this is unbelievable stuff! The music and visuals are just stunning! I can't thank you enough for creating this masterpiece. Stunning, truly stunning! Great job!!

[gavoid]

Thank you very much...for all the kind comments.

[HowardVause]

great work - brilliant precis that retains the uncomfortable atmosphere of the original.

[claujida]

This is Amazing!!!!!

[srm5436]

fantastic! I love the sound/music, and you added your own flair with the animation

[TedNewsom]

Excellent, guys. Really, really good. Captured the spirit very well. Makes me wonder why the original couldn't tell the tale in the same amount of time.

[victhevamp]

hahaha i have to completly agreed, very well done although im gona have nightmares now about that puppet!!

[bullterrier1972]

very good work , it is genuine expressionism

[richragsdale]

love the puppets

and you abbreviate the story of caligari really well

i look forward to seeing more of your work

[Todicarpe]

just a word, Perfect!

[yurikorsikov]

FANTASTIC!!!!

[shebangproductions]

You only used imovie to make this? Well done. Its great.  Good work. You must have spent a lot of time on it. Good fun, simple animations. And the Dr Caligari puppet is very creepy.

[gavoid]

we did use after fx as well, and thanks very much.

[franlfc]

What's that efect "old movie" style? What app does that?

[gavoid]

It's just aged film effect on 'i-movie'

[franlfc]

Geat thanks!!!! I'm makin a litle movie to... for my studies, when its ready ill upload it. Thanks again.

[gavoid]
