I thought the photography was extremely well done. The use of pause and rewind and mute was smooth, and selective colouring with the blood was good but at the same time not overly original, but I know it looks nice and is very tempting to do lol. Very good film. I haven't finished my surreal stuff yet, all I have uploaded is a really bad group effort lol.

Thank you. I appreciate constructive criticism and look forward to seeing your surreal stuff in the future.

This isn't worth my time xD

@Egghollo I think they are inspired by Eraserhead, or at least the Lynchian concept.

Why is it so that all videos that are called "surreal" have to be creepy. I have watched some animations on youtube now and I'm getting a bit tired of the dark and creepy animations. Not that that's bad. Just saying...

i liked this! many elements in play that i love to see (chess, backwards, laughter, b/w) great work! don't listen to the ignorance and negativity of those who speak from a place of weakness and insensitivity. i second the appropriate citation of the wonderful jim jarmusch.

why not put the title of your film on the video before 'surreal film project' respect your work and always be proud of it!!! thank you for sharing with us!

Check it out! It's Twin Peaks at 1:48!!!

So the chess pieces represent famine and the video represents war. Poignant, moving.

Such a HAPPY film; I'll be smiling all day!

I liked the chess board being in the wrong orientation and the whole coughing up chess pieces thing

@kingpanzer17 yeah, you are beginning to get it now.

This is more horror than surreal. Nice effects though.
