Skeleton: "Das right. These old bones still got it."
Oooh.. Now i get the end.. Thanks ! ahah
@@TheNico6384 Because of you saying you get the end, now I GOT it! What a chain reaction lol
dat teensy smile, right?
@@thaeasy Yeah! So teensy that I didn't even notice it the first time.
That's only part of the point, I think. It's also that through the wide eyes of children, even the crudest of old Hollywood special effects have magic. Jaded adults, coddled by CGI, can't see the wonder that's right in front of them. A child can. Movies often seek the child in us, particularly fantasy movies. I am a middle-aged, analog man in a breathless digital world. I get more out of the exhaustive, intimate, handmade sorcery of Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen than I do out of all the motion-capture precision that clogs movie screens since the 1990s. Ich bin ein skeleton!
the part where he holds the picture of his creator while watching the film. That really hit me.
I wonder if he ever knew what he meant to his creation, or even that he was alive at all
Usum
I thought that was really a great badass film! This coming June 2020 master of stop motion animation Ray Harryhausen would have been 100 years old! I have his movies on DVD and Jim Danforth stuff also "Zanti Misfits" of the Outer Limits. Gave me nitemares as a kid!
@@robertszymanski717 Did you catch that the old guy animator is named Harry? as in Ray Harryhausen.
@@nathanmcwayne5705 I guess you can! Before he passed away, his daughter Vanessa put a website together in his name! I wrote them back then.. she mentioned that it would be nice if he did live to be a 100 but, sadly he passed away at age 92.. or was it 93?? I should have looked first before I post it here..I my self dabble with objects, clay, my grandsons robot toys, action figures....
I live in Hollywood and I've seen this guy walking around my area. Glad he finally got another role.
he built like a friend

20 years in the future when the next big thing comes along, mo-cap suit slowly hobbles into the bar, where the other stage effects welcome him. "First time?" says Phil.
No dialogue but you still understand perfectly the story, a masterpiece.
wait, I just realize about that, wtf, wow! (not being sarcastic, I promise)
I didn't even notice it had no dialogue until reading this.
@@jacobmossmedia8794 SAME!
Visual storytelling at it's finest

I’m an old CGI animator who is currently doing VFX and DP’ing besides Directing. Sometimes I feel just like Phil in this short, which to me is the most amazing tribute to our Master Ray Harryhausen, whose work inspired me to get into animation since I was a child. Thanks for sharing this awesome film. It makes me cry every time.
Of course - it's the dragon's teeth that turn into skeletons from Jason and the Argonauts. Loved that movie as a kid.
And i was picturing the skeleton sequence from Seventh Voyage of Sinbad! @@emperorofpluto

Although being an old 'special effect' set the precedence, they do need the recognition for what they contributed in their time and how they added to future ideas in advancements. Thank you, not old, but original labour intensive 'special effects' which I think are still amazing.
You said you did CGI?
Can you imagine how labor intensive Claymation would have been like the original Jason/Argonauts? Or even stop motion with posable figures like Gumby and Poke???
Those two random guys just trying to enjoy their drinks had me dead XD
Their complete lack of shock suggests this is a common occurrence which makes it even funnier

As a stop motion animator who idolises the work of Ray Harryhausen, this short spoke to me on so many levels! Absolutely floored by this! Recognise some of Nick Hilligoss' work there too! Well done!
Yes!! Nick Hilligoss was an amazing help! We initially approached him if he was available for animating for us, but when he wasn't he was so kind to lend us so many props/puppets for dressing - legend!

@@NicheXCC There's always Wallace and Gromit and Sean the Sheep! Aardman are doing some great work.
The guy that made the skeleton was Ray Harryhausen, special effects pioneer that made 1980s clash of the titans. Showed Calibos too. Super cool concept, very well done
Just perfect.
I loved that scene at the beginning of him doing the effects. All it took was one man. It’s mind boggling to think about.
Thanks for sharing this information
Also I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be based Off Jason and the Argonauts
@@ninjawasabie565 the Skelton soldiers were in both I think. Was ray's favorite
Thank you, glad to know that I am not the only one that spotted the connection. Spotted the influence as soon as the skeleton started to move and fought the centurian. I loved all of the Ray Harryhausen movies as a kid, a true pioneer of stop-motion movie animation.

@@Rin-qj7zt it looked like "invasion of the body snatchers". Really nice ode to old school movies.

Honestly, I'm surprised the Black Lagoon suit is still out of work. Taking over someone's body against their will like that is absolutely terrifying.
Such a charming film! I love the story and the blending of the different animation styles with the live action footage!
I think what sparks this is that you can really FEEL that emotion, it's a really good detail even though they say nothing.
I don't think people understand the concept that it's not about the skeleton but about the stop motion animators not being able to land a job, as with other dying industries
Very good point
Yes that's a very good point I wish people would go back to stop motion I feel bad about that skeleton monster I just hate cgi it's overrated

Best short film I've seen in a long time
Short?
Seriously. Salute
Agreed.
Guau!
Piper is better
This is just an amazing homage to all the old film techniques. One thing that never ceases to amaze me is how much effort and work goes into these media.
To this day the modern Alien franchise can never really beat the suits and animatronics they used in the originals. It's just not as scary, not as much heart. Same goes for Jurassic park. The original puppet they had to dry out every few minutes in the rain scene near the beginning has never been matched in quality in my opinion. Then there's all the old films such as Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal that are such gems. Even the new star wars series 'The Mandalorian' has recognised this and the child they use is a puppet. It's just so much more real.
This is beautiful, and I honestly thought it was gonna have a bad ending, but the hope he has at the end just made me smile. Even if the critics don't find him scary for the movie, he's a terrifying monster anyway. Scare on little bone dude.
Things were real that's why looked amazing. Now just fake graphics.
The Mandalorian would have used c.g.i. But Werner Herzog, who is one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema, by the way, attacked the producers, exactly because people nowadays use c.g.i to replace animatronics.. and, lo, and behold. Baby Yoda became a puppet.
Just saying, I heard the rebooted Dark Crystal series on Netflix are a series of new gems themselves, as a perfect fusion of old & new. I myself hasn't got the means to watch the series but they look so awesome in the previews.
@@olymolly3637
It is considerably less.. Dark, if you excuse my pun, then the old movie.. but the series are beautiful, nonetheless!
I agree. Its such a shame Jim Hensons creations are now just there to make dick jokes with SNL alumni
This 12 min short elicited more emotion and more kinds of emotion than most of anything else I've scene recently. What a great tribute to the great practical effects of days passed.
The best part by far was the suit scene where it put itself on the security guard, had me laughing so hard! Hahaha
I liked the little Dragon smothering the other Guard 😂😂😎
I can give credit to the Skeleton for being courageous. Despite having no guts.
Can this qualify for The Academy Awards? Guaranteed winner. Best short I've seen, maybe ever. The nuance achieved, while building characters, struggle, Hollywood world, work, home, public environments etc, whilst moving the timeline at lightening speed, so smoothly. I was never having to keep up, despite a distinct lack of focus, lol. I was actually a little awed by how much of the creative process and framework I could see coming through, and how much information you can put in a single frame. All, almost subconsciously, because I was being entertained and already wrapped up in this character. Brilliant. Bravo! and, ty
Most likely could.
@@dogskinner4286 👍 👏 Where do I vote? .. I get a vote, right? ...😆 ok, serious😐 😶😬 😳 😱🤯 🤩 🥳
Yes ... 😔🖤🌹🤵🏻 ...
Ironically, one theme of the short was the extinction of a hard-working method of cinematography before CGI (robotic props, claymation, etc.).
So, it wouldn't be very surprising if even this film (which required much more work for the "same" effects) wouldn't even get recognized in Hollywood.
and it is a movie about making of movies, so, a strong entry, as that is what the academy likes
I like how most of the "real" things the Skeleton King interacts with have motion blur, yet he does not have it, being a stop motion figure. Except the scenes, where the "figure" was not animated frame by frame, but in a continuous manner, like at 5:17. The amount of detail put into this short film is really breathtaking. I did enjoy this a lot. Maybe some day we will see another movie completely made without any digital processing involved. I know, the cost would be too big to justify. But, if this would have been done without digital technique, it would be not that crisp and precise. I just checked the behind the scenes and a lot of CGI was involved. Those pioneers who did this in the 1960s were truly masters of their profession.
This is very wholesome.
I love the way it shows the beginins of animation from the drawn dragon, to the liquid metal man (all others in between of course).
It shows how much the industry has achieved but also shows it's appriciation of where it started, at least thats what I'm interpreting from the short.
Regarldess, you guys managed to accomplish just that and I'm very thankfull and happy to see this. Congratulations.
I can't just stop thinking that the little girl at the end of the movie, after realising that this guy is the Skeleton Monster, decided to cheer up his day and act scared.
That's a guy, man.
That's a boy, and I think he was actually scared. He assumed the skeleton was an effect, and just that. He didn't think it was an *actual* skeleton. That was genuine fear, not just 'oh I'll make this guy feel better' thing. He had no idea what the skeleton was going through.
Waaaaaa??
Eh, looks like a girl to me too
@@RealDids Oh, boys are allowed to have long hair.
"Being an old special effect" is not a problem I´d have never imagined was a thing. I loved it.
I was feeling really down. My previous happiness from my childhood and career life seemed more distant every day. But I saw this and it made me happy. It made me even happier when I saw it was Timtimfed. Thank you man.
Jason and The Argonaughts - my favourite film to watch at Christmas every year! 👍🏼🥰
The script is hilarious at 2:56.
"He blows chunks all over TRICA who plummets into the ocean."
TRICIA: "I can't swim".
GRIFFITH: "Here, take this pool noodle."
LOL
The beast dies. The End😭
"well... at least *someone* thinks I'm scary,"
More than that: "Children still get me. There's hope."
Puede ser que no se comprenda...pero es un homenaje increible a todos los stop motion y monstruos con cierre a la vista y al olvido de quienes nos llenaron de fantasía en nuestra niñez. Gracias! Muy buena historia muy bien todo, desde guión hasta dirección!
So very much under-appreciated .. i feel like the Skeleton many days; that you're holding onto a long lost dream while the world has moved light-years beyond you. Great story. A tribute to the ORIGINAL days of Harryhausen animation :D [and i HAVE ALL THOSE 'Sinbad' FILMS and love them!]
Really nailed that Jason and the Argonauts feel at the beginning. The stop motion integration was fantastic (well the mix of stop motion and vfx) and the story was super fun. Really enjoyed it.
Should've had a Baby Bones cameo though.
Don't you see? This is all a "Where Are They Now?" episode for Baby Bones.
baby bones head was on the table of props
I like the scene where the skeleton and the other old school visual effect characters burn the studio and the skeleton guy melts and then wakes up from his revenge fantasy, its a metaphor that many peolpe hate to hear; Revenge might be satisfactory...but it also destroys yourself.
True, I think also the idea was that he realized he's essentially (made of ) the same thing after all
Revange is good, there is some people like us that follow Satan and for us that's okay, we don't agree on the fact that revenge is a bad thing but I get your point.
I mean, I twatted someone with a rock for revenge and I'm still intact. I don't hate hearing it, but it's not always right. Sure, most people regret doing something and not "being the bigger person", but I don't regret it. The only thing I wish is that the fucker died, as I was 9 at the time, meaning I couldn't have been prosecuted. Fucker somehow survived a caved in skull.
@@paulitikox I don't see much use for revenge other than getting myself locked up in jail, what is your view on revenge?
Um, I think it's a scene for comic effect, illustrative of the skeleton's frustration and anger, not a scoldy moral lesson on the wages of revenge. If it served to give you a thumbnail education in basic ethics, fine. For me, it simply and delightfully "fleshes out" the skeleton, which is the goal of the movie.
This was absolutely fantastic. Came here for a short film sample and watched it completely. Well done. I’m inspired
How original, lovely piece of work this is remarkable, I was feeling very sorry for the skeleton.
For my art class I get to do a zoom meeting with the creator of this masterpiece tomorrow
really excited to meet this amazing person
Aaaah you got to meet Michael Shanks? Lucky...
Tell him they should have recast that boy at the end.
His acting was lousy!
How it was?
How did his hair smell...?
Harveer Bhinder yes 😂 very much so
You have to hand it to the Skeleton, He roared pretty well for having no lungs
edit: thanks for 1K likes!
Imao
That exactly what was scary
Or moved pretty well for having no muscles? I think in this universe the characters can do whatever they did in their original movies. So if in the movie they added a sound effect to make him roar, he can roar.
no u

That was really good. The audio was awesome. The whole thing was fun and interesting, very very creative. It had a human touch, very likable. No dialog at all - the film just showed the story.

Congrats, I'm crying. I've dedicated my life to practical effects- and now like so many in the entertainment industry I'm stuck without work during the pandemic. This hit real close to home. I love it.
Stick with it mate! There are those of us out there that adore practical effects. I don't go to the movies anymore, like, at all. But the second a Laika studios film is released I'm there and the practical effects are the biggest draw for me (though most of their stories are fantastic too).
Nothing beats practical effects. Too much of animation takes away the element of magic that was.
I'd throw you some work, but...

Stop motion's grave was sealed with cement the day the lago movie came out. It's become nothing more than a novelty, which is pretty sad considering the amount of creativity that comes out of those who still use it, but still the fact that we have a movie where nobody knew the difference kinda makes it obsolete for anything other than to show off your skills.

The body traps book beneath the alarm clock was a very nice touch.
It's always about the story and how much imagination you put into it. NEVER about the effects only. This has everything. Excellent.
EXACTLY. All the effects in the world won't make up for a poor story. It's why we like hearing a good ghost story told well around the campfire.

I love the complexity of this story! We see the "has been" who really was on top in his day, being overshadowed by a reboot that he finds distasteful. And we see his struggles in daily life as he desperately wants to relive the glory days, just like the rest of his old friends. This short film is a masterpiece.
I have to say that it's great Phil and Mid-90s-Liquid-Metal-Man are still getting jobs. Two very underutilized actors if you ask me, which you most expressly did not.
Usually, a school will force you to pour hours into something ten minutes long, and you end up hating the original product due to whatever laborous work you have associated with it.
However, despite my school pushing this down my throat, this truly is something special. It’s a small, wordless, but beautiful story that deserves all of the praise it gets. I legitimately don’t understand why this has any dislikes.
It's because 99% of the world nowadays is stuck on the idea that if it isn't digital, realistic in every way, and 'modern', it's useless, dated, and obsolete. I mean, how many people watch the old "Jason and the Argonauts", "Sinbad", or any other stop-motion movie, let alone black and white movies (other than "A Christmas Carol")?
What's worse, is that, as with the 'Rebooted" script in this film, the prevailing thought process is to take a classic, use all the new and modern techniques possible, rework the original script with modern ideas and ideals,and current ways of looking at everything, and produce a worthless piece of crap to put on the screen and pass it off as a modern take on an original (cue full-screen shot of the poster for the 'Clash of the Titans' remake). I have YET to see a modern remake come out that matches the originals in quality, despite their age - INCLUDING the prequils/ sequels to the original movies. There have been a few sequels that improve a few things by explanations given or the like, but by in large, almost none have been better.
I was showing my appreciation for this particular piece. If you don’t like this work, or me as an extension, for liking it, then that’s okay.
But yes, I’m acknowledging that other movies exist. Didn’t think I would have to say that but here are we.
I love that the skeleton guy moves only every other frame, just like how stop motion is usually done. Nice attention to detail.
Excellent tribute to vfx creatures and skilled artists & craftsmen from bygone eras of Hollywood.
I wish I could offer this skeleton a job.
got one for me aswell?
There are no words to describe how well put together this was. One of the best short films i've seen in a while.
Do you know that refrain "When Smoky sings, I hear a violin!" ? During this video I hear a nervous violin player all the time. And the rest of the orchestra has some riffs, as well. Smothered in Emotion Violins!
This is funny, sad, entertaining, well-timed, short, beautiful
THIS IS PERFECT!!
i've got overwhelmed by empathy in 12 minutes. I laughed and cried.
And that was a good movie
I really love how they made this, I think the small dragon is one of my favourite characters because he's made out of paint, ink and acetate, just like the regular cel-animation which was then replaced with graphics-tablet animation.
Brilliantly done!
Haven’t feel this emotional for a special effect since Sméagol.
Excellent, great story told with emotion and humour in equal parts. Very entertaining
