So wonderful

The Simpsons’ couch gag has become a great place for innovative filmmakers and artists to show off their take on the iconic nuclear family and the many denizens of Springfield. From the creators of Rick And Morty, to Don Hertzfeldt, Guillermo Del Toro, John K., and many others, all have left their individual stamp on the opening of the classic show and its opening segment. Now another artist has thrown his hat in the ring, albeit unofficially, with a gruesome blending of The Simpsons with Adam Wingard’s film You’re Next.

Lee Hardcastle is an experienced stop-motion animator that has applied his craft to a segment in The ABCs Of Death, a mash-up of Frozen and The Thing, and even a music video for the group Gunship. Now Hardcastle has brought that same off-kilter horror sensibility to his proposed couch gag for Springfield’s first family with a possibly NSFW-ish (due to clay violence and gore) and fairly disturbing short. Hardcastle’s couch gag opens serenely enough before devolving into a home invasion pastiche just like You’re Next—much to the appreciation and applause of Adam Wingard himself. It’s unclear although unlikely that Fox will actually use this couch gag on screen, but maybe it will help boost Hardcastle’s chances for crafting a Treehouse Of Horror intro/segment.

Never forget how awesome Don Hertzfeldt is.

I'm not saying that this vid has the kind of graphics that would entice me to pay full price at the box office, nor am I throwing down high-fives for sup-par work or uncool people. I'm sure 110 days of rendering time could have helped to give it the kind of polish that could be up to today's standards, and yours.

I enjoyed this piece because I appreciated the story told by this animation. Better graphics wouldn't hurt, but it was good enough to carry that story.

There are countless examples off great storytelling and enjoyable animations that don't rely on billion polygon counts or dynamic lighting. Whether that's Don Hertzfeldt or Dottie Goes to School or Groundbreaking Music Videos.

Nevertheless, you are absolutely entitled to your opinion, and welcome to focus on what you like in videos and animations. I just wanted to share where I was coming from too.

Also, good for you for getting your name out there and getting work in your field. I know a lot of creative-types and I know it ain't the easiest line of work to get into.

peace

i'm a jr. comp artist. it's a day job, not a passion, so i've had no need or interest in doing a pro bono project of any kind. the last film i did comp work on was the new karate kid (i did some roto for clash of the titans, but that doesn't really count). i'm currently working on eureka, which is a silly show, but lots of fun to work on.
comping all CG shots is usually easier as you (generally) don't have to roto, pull green screens, camera tracking, regraining, etc.
this is a whole other league, but it was done by one person and effectively no budget:
