The guy they show after Terminator is actually the actor that played Kyle Reese in T1...

Well, I get virtually all my videos from videosift these days, so I don't tend to contribute. At least I'm posting comments again though now and then, for better or worse! You go ahead, I don't mind!

If you're interested, I put up another one - Bruce Lee vs The Karate Kid - one of my favs. I like the Danny DeVito one a lot as well. I'll probably post that soon too, unless you want to. But you don't seem to post anymore.

I loved the original set of these. I'm such a sucker for stop motion. This is good too, though I don't know much about Eminem.

Looks like something I'd really enjoy, but goodness gracious the title perturbs the heck out of me.

He's INSIDE the source code? SERIOUSLY?

Source code is just plain old text compiled into a executable program (or executed by an interpreter), not something that someone can be inside. Every time they say "You're IN the source code," I'm just picturing him in a pile of paper with programming language all over it or maybe like they shrunk him down and digitized him so he can walk around on a computer screen inside an editor like Notepad++ or an IDE like Eclipse.

Oh well. They title movies for the masses. This was my same issue with the new Karate Kid movie (which is about a boy learning Kung Fu). Crikey. That's Hollywood for you.

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:

For a second there near the 2:40 mark, I was secretly hoping that it would do the crane kick from The Karate Kid. I'll be supremely impressed when robots can do that!

And then he's going to go kick the Karate Kid's ass after this!

Then you would have done crappy at the Karate Kid High School. You would have gotten the snot beat out of you just for thinking it was boring!


Well played sir!
