The Watchmakers Apprentice (Short animated Film)

[poetxyz]

Where's the apostrophe?

[lovingkittykat]

the beat of the song reminds me so much of "The Dark Woods Circus" by the Vocaloids :I

[KauKatKay]

reminds me of, "the Blackwater Gospel"

[TChoiProductions]

This was very well done. One question though; was the wing scene at the beginning and end of the vid inspired by The Blackwater Gospel? Because there are scenes very similar to that scene in both animations

[TEXANCHICKK]

@TChoiProductions Just telling you this so you get your answer XD up at the top the creator actually responded that it was. :) (He commented to another person)

[Wikimancer]

1. Why did you cut out part of the song at about 3:22 ?

2. What's with the repeated shots of the church? I mean, it's not mentioned in the song or anything, and nothing else is in those shots. just wondering

[TheOfficialRobinRAD]

@Wikimancer the answer for both your questions is that i only had about 5hours to create and edit it all together. i agree though, it is a shame i had to cut the song! but as you can see with the repeated church bit didnt have enough clips!! thankyou for watching though!

[Pr00ch]

@TheOfficialRobinRAD

That's a shame, If you'd polish it a bit and ad something here and there It could be as well the official music video :)

[lightningslims]

Very nice indeed! Great animation that really fits the great choice of music. Well done!

[guybot360]

Wait do he rigged the watch to shoot or explode on the guys chest

I like this guys style

[LatinaVixen91]

Ah The Fugitive's story

[PeekingInTheKeyhole]

Im in love with the song.

[TheBadassKitten]

nice use of watercolor

[Clairelaferret]

I've heard the song before and I really like the visuals you did: the style is fantastic and fits really well.

[GertrudeOgilthorp8]

This is great and I can understand most of it but was that man killed at the end the apprentice?

[RoTTeNbAx]

This is some of the best work i have ever seen,i am verry impressed also what is the black water gasple

[narutokabuto]

I love the music and artwork for this video, also the pocketwatch is essential for any gentleman or if others would prefer "gentle" women, I carry a pocket watch now a days and it is spectacular. You 3d image of the pocketwatch is just amazing. Thank you for the great film and opening me up to a great band

[DrakeVagabond]

I went into the Watchmaker's Apprentice hoping to see a video able Syler. Sadly there is nigh mention of Heroes in this video. But if you wanna drop some acid and be like "WOW WOW THIS SONG IS SO DEEP!!" or not drop some acid and be like "..... Huh." This is for you........ I really like by the way.

[MrSuvvri]

it reminds me Borderlands ;D great video!

[TheTheonlyonehere]

Amazing please tell me you have made more like this. The story in the song is even good please please please tell me there is more :D....... if not can you at least tell me where more like it can be found..... I beg of you please can you do this one simple deed....

[JackThorne1234]

Oh wow, I LOVED this! You're very talented!

[Doribi117]

This is a great song of revenge.

[NegaZxyz]

Your video's awesome, though it did confuse me for a second I thought his boss got revenge and killed him at the end lol, but I watched it again and got it the second time.

[RAWRimmaMONKEY]

I was listening to this with my headphones and realized my heart was keeping time to the clock ticking.

[analisette]

Very nicely done! I am impressed. :D

[artistdeterminedmsv]

Inspired by Hero's Syler character by any chance LOL

[DeathsBestBitch]

I'm so gonnas start singing this with a pocket watch from now on.

[23monkey45]

that was the ,most beautiful short film I have ever seen. I tip my hat off to you :D

[yipyipyipi]

That. Was. Epic. ZOMG I NEED MOAR!!! :D

[NegraCardia]

this is an amazing piece of work that has given me the inspiration for another. I actually needed the biases for a steampunk engineer with a touch of madness, and this is SPOT ON!

I hope to hear more great works from this band in the near future, as they are clearly a hidden gem of steam-based music.

[DJelectfire]

Wow, this song is DARK.... I love your interpretation of it in this nicely done animation!

[TheThatStranger]

Were the scenes of 0:13 and 4:17 inspired by the Backwater Gospel? Because I love that short, and it just reminded me too much of the Undertaker.

[TheOfficialRobinRAD]

@TheThatStranger yup! your pretty much spot on!

(this was my art gcse final piece) and as part of my planing for this i had to look at a number of similar films and source inspiration and make links to them in my own! ^O^ i probably would do it very differently now!

[marnieluna08]

I only have one problem with the video it looks too American and the there is certain things which make me think of Victorian England ( i.e smog) sorry , but I love this song I think it's amazing , the video is good just too American

[EAConwell]

i LOVE the voice singing this song

[stormscorpionuk]

reminds me of devil take the hindmost out of Love never dies

[stormscorpionuk]

awesome vid!

love it!

[Anime86Butterfly]

This song is my new obsession!!

[MagnusThiHan]

It was cool, certainly...

but it wasn't that good. i dunno, it just didn't vibe with my idea of the song.

but still; it was cool. you should keep doing it!

[darkdragonsouls]

this is very good!

[salazarroxy]

this is my Favorite video :)

[SuperspazzY19]

I love this. Its like some twisted steampunk thing. Brilliant.

[HaloChaos]

Very good job on the video well done.

[CyberBolls]

It looks like he used an engineering software. Probably didn't though

[UrbanMongral10]

Wonderful

[heroicmarinelaughat9]

I really really really really liked it. Aside from the slight Japanese Style of the Apprentice's face. I've always thought of him as the more Benjamin Barnes style of looking.

[danitheskatergirl]

Robin, did you create the clock at the very start in sketch up?

[TheOfficialRobinRAD]

@danitheskatergirl ^-^ yup! actually all the 3d stuff was made in sketch up! n_n

[SteffiMess]

Ewwww!

Originality, thoughtfulness, creativity?!?!

DISGUSTING.

I'm a troll and I'm going to dislike this song because I'm the hugest fan of Rebecca Black and of course being a rabbid JB fan!

You know some of the turd did that shit...

But this song and video combination was brilliant and the watercolor on this was a wonderful touch!

[the101ish]

@SteffiMess dick head

[SteffiMess]

@the101ish

I was being sarcastic...

This interpretation of the Watchmaker's Apprentice was amazing.

[x0babiiray0x]

YOURE SO TALENTED!!

[CherryValincourt]

Your watercolor was amazing and the video was a very fitting interpretation of the song.

[texx0101]

love steampunk tell everyone i know! so amazing everyone will love it! =) you're awesome

[kwl912]

This song/Video reminds me of "When You're Evil" by Voiltaire haha

[ykjt91]

Love the music and the animation yells the story so well. great job.

[CoolerThanSora]

This reminds me of Orlick from the novel Great Expectations. Excellent job with the animation, I would not even want to imagine how many hours of determination and headache this took you.

[mooncowslow]

this is truly amazing, but i really can't wait to see what you'll do when you perfect your skills

[TheCowbiscuit]

Saw this in assembly, it was probably the highlight for me :)

[charben92]

This was for your gcse... I was an alevel art student going on to uni to do graphic design... And honestly you put my work to shame!!! Hahahaha

[matthewgilpincom]

i don't know what i like more, the music or the animation... either way they compliment each other perfectly.

[emowannabe42]

You inspire me to become an animator so much :) I love your style and everything

[SoulRythm]

AMAZING!!  Wow

[DrPepperForMe]

[ItIsRebecca]

Woah this is awesome, the clocks and stuff look so technical @_@

do people at your school often do animations for their final pieces? i've never heard of it being done before and i know that most art teachers prefer everyone to do acrylic paintings to be 'safe'?
