Man, I could NOT tell what kind of animal they were trying to make with that shadow puppet. Was it a sand worm?

Ahh you know all the right buttons to press m'lady

Thank you so much, I love this song!

This is excellent! *promote!

Looks more like they're not making the sounds, just the shadow puppets.

Sorry Edeot... but I knew right off that this was a dupe of

I'll leave this because it only has 2 votes at the moment, in case you might want to self-discard.

Awesome pick.. thanks for bringing it up there!

where else would i spend my first post-resift *promote?

For me the best attack out of that whole fight sequence was the first one, where the girl on the right gives her friend a whack with her school bag. That had me laughing harder than all of the ridiculous over the top "martial arts" that came after, though the shadow puppet move at 1:46 comes close.

@ant - The music video you're thinking of is "MEG - Precious", with shadow puppeteers, dancing, magic and most importantly, kitties! http://video.yahoo.com/watch/3394071/9490332

^ that fake comment section was fucking hilarious.

so, this was my primary post:
http://www.videosift.com/video/Rock-Jihadi-Why-You-Hate-Yourself

it was made by mysterywalker, who i honestly consider the best thing on youtube.
his real name's Kory, and he's one of the people i wanted to see 'shadow puppets', before he left for another tour in iraq/afghanistan. that's why he's the 4th name on my 'thank you' clip, at the 1 minute mark.
wasn't the first time i heard or thought about the philosophical dichotomy he's referring to in the clip. but he sums it up nicely, and does a great job mimicking the Flintstones. the animation style, typeface, dust speck artificial aging, etc. and he's one of the few people that consistently makes me laugh.
he currently has 926 subscribers. go sub him, and help get him 1,000 before his tour ends. and watch his old stuff. you'll be glad you did. thanks!
now leave. i need to take a shower.

*dead, might as well fix the original though

also, i'd like this on the record, in regards to downvoting, in general.

i have never once taken a single one of ant's downvotes against him, and he knows that because i told him so. we all frequently joke about them.

http://www.videosift.com/video/Crazy-Eddie-commercials-we-had-to-endure

i have never felt ant was targeting me, or anyone else to my knowledge, just being harsh yet honest.

and his votes given / received ratio shows a genuine interest in selecting the best and worst for their appropriate thumbage, before the clip has sifted, and those less interested in manning the churn, suddenly appear.

ant was one of the first, to upvote the one thing i really cared about here.

http://www.videosift.com/video/Shadow-Puppets-animation-by-Chuck-Gamble

and i notice him secretly upvoting my comments.

besides, he's the yin to my yang. i dig ant.

if all that shroom did, to deserve any of this, was downvote any one guy's shit honestly?

we would not be having this conversation, and every one of you knew that, about him, long before i got here.

ps.
>> ^MycroftHomlz:
Rottenseed, I agree that all of my15minutes videos suck.

funny. the way i read that, rottenseed was talking to, and about, K0MMIE. not me.

i guess we all see what we want to, though.

and, if you're willing to provide some more useful and specific criticism, i'd happily accept it, Holmz. here, or in private, at your convenience.

i've only been active here 2 months. but i honestly didn't think anyone had a problem with TED clips, a couple funny commercials, some old TV intros, a single Ron Paul vid, and one cute sift.

pps. were this an isolated incident, with shroom, the way it was with TheSofaKing, three weeks back, dumping on blankfist?

http://sofa.videosift.com#comment-282621

that's how i'd handle shroom.

but this incident, is about as isolated, as Paris Hilton at a circle jerk.

which is a fucking shame, because TheSofaKing needed only the merest of prodding to see the error of his ways instantly.

thank you all again for your time, and attention, to keeping the sift the kind of place that you want it to be.

i will happily submit to the will of the Jedi Council.

- owen

wow! holy fuck, blankfist! tyvm!

i owe it all to severe insomnia and enlightened self-interest. i know i can come off as a suck-up or something, but i really do watch the things i upvote, and i really have yet to see anything i would downvote, here, from any of you.

and yeah, my queue could use a lil' love every now and again, like anyone's i s'pose. but what i'd really want is for anyone who hasn't already seen it, to check out the clip i have as my favorite:

"shadow puppets", by chuck gamble. sifted by 'berticus'.

http://www.videosift.com/video/Shadow-Puppets-animation-by-Chuck-Gamble

and pass it on to anyone who could use a little hope. guess that means all of us.

No problem.

And Balloon Animal Jesus seems to be popular here. Thanks for noticing, but don't bother worshiping him. He only died for the sins of balloon animals.
