THIS AND THAT

I cut up the sound from the This´n´That card magic video to make this rather surreal conversation. The characters are made from the pages of an old book about humor. This is my final outcome.

This is originally a video response to:
This'n'That - you can learn it at WTFmagic.com!

... All I have managed to get from this is something involving a little bit of love, a little bit of death, and not much of "heaven," or "the afterlife."

I don't think it's funny, I think hugohunx has a point actually. I really love pappirus' vids, truly great in their simplicity they are, but by taking them further and further he/she could develop even more as an artist. I think especially it could be cool to see some "real" elements incorporated into them, such as hugohunx' example of real playing cards for this vid in particular.

funny how hugohunx is telling you how to do your own art hahha

Very, very nice video and concept.

It's a five.

If you or anyone else cares to check out our first stop motion video, feel free.

We call it, Baked Ziti.

I like your style, but I think I would like to see you go a little further with your backgrounds. I've seen most of your other work and it's all foreground action without any attention paid to backgrounds or the environment the animations are taking place in. Perhaps if you did this animation using playing cards instead of the pages of a book, you may have been able to involve the characters more with the story as well and give it a visual synchresis with the audio.
