My first thought when the hand-print showed up on the screen: "Run back and get your arm!" BUT then I felt a sense of total and utter despair when I saw that it needed HEAT signatures, which the dead arm wouldn't give off. I also really loved how this character wasn't your run-of-the-mill good treasure-hunting guy - if he'd succeeded, we basically would've seen the uprising of a villain.
Such an excellent animation!
Same. I also loved the sudden shock of seeing him standing on the robot in front of the ruined city, and then the reveal of the dead map seller at the end.
well i mean it wasn't long ago that the arm was cut off so it still would've been warm for a few minutes
I'm not sure about the heat signatures, as it takes time for something to cool down
if 5 prints + one palm is enough for signature, the feet should also do.
It also needed his left hand, not his right. Idk if it would've worked with his right hand.
this is why you keep your normal arms, you should add extra arms if you want mechanical ones
People am I right ?
DiamondGirl XD yup
So true.
Dark Angel Dreadnaught Thanks. I'll keep that in mind.
John Milton k
Moral of the story: limbs are important.
no what comes around goes around
Alex Hackett i agree with both and the moral is somethings are not ment to be replaced or upgraded.
I think the moral of the story is:
Always bring a friend, you never know if you'll need a hand.
i think it is " always take your limbs with you if a laser cuts them"
always bring a hand no matter what or just break that scanner.
Rewatching this after two years and I still want a full show/movie with this story and art style it’s fucking perfect
I swear, that warning sound and that "screaming" of the robot is absolutely terrifying!
This animation is literally worthy of a full motion picture
I wonder if it's such a smart idea to have your business advertised as "ILLEGAL TREASURE MAP SHOP"
My thoughts exactly
How else would they find it😂
you could say his robot arm wasnt that handy...
starling lol
The robot arm was VERY handy
+JosephHP8 og har
Har har
Wow xD
This is AMAZING, I have no words to describe my feelings. The picture is just gorgeous, the sound, the dynamics, the story. The creators did a great job! I'm going to review this video more than once!
Akira
Victoria W This!!! the sound matched the film well.. all the element came together! Kudos to the team
Yeah I loved this short, so perfect
This would be a badass videogame haha. Let's hope
Sam Gameover If this was a vifeogame i bet it'll be an 8-bit videogame :v
This life also😂
Oh fr, I would totally play this
I think it's called Horizon Zero Dawn
I can imagine it being some kinda retro-styled platformer,with the same artstyle…then halfway through the game,you realize you’re playing as the villain of the story,then end up dying at the hands of ancient robots lol
The ending is amazing because his greed and sick determination made him ignore losing his arm which would've costed his life if it weren't for the fact that that the arm he sacrificed long ago was needed to survive. So even if he cared about his severed arm it still wouldn't be enaught because from the beginning his adventure had been doomed.
It´s not likely, that the protagonist "sacrificed" his arm long ago, but he consciously changed it for a "better" version. At the very beginning of the story you can see the cynic advertising about the tech-arm: "Throw away that piece of flesh that you call an arm !"
In the end he fails because he is not a full human, but already half a robot. The arm is just a symbol of his inhumanity...
Is it just me or does he look like a grown up Astro boy?
I'm Pretty Dank •-• yup.. me too. and also animation style.
I'm Pretty Dank •-•omg I thought I was the only one who thought this 😂. The character, art style, everything (nothing wrong with that though)
I'm Pretty Dank •-• I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!!
Astro boy is also weaponize and can fly unless he lost those abilities he would be a good match against that thing
Ahh my butthole
Be careful what you give up; be careful what you accept.
(i.e., flesh & blood; & an unspecified treasure!)
Cathy Vickers Great takeaway
Nice
The treasure in this case was authority over the robot
In our quest for power we often give up our humanity.
The most important of us we often forsake
When you think about it , the robot was actually the good guy
@@reyneo6791 yeah, he protected the world from himself.
Preach
When he realized the prize was taking over the machine to rule the world he kinda felt disappointed but he needed to survive cause the machine was about to kill him but unfortunately he lost
I was yelling at the screen for him to go get his severed hand because it couldn't have cooled down that much after just a few minutes, could it?
I think he realized that too but it was too late when the machine got to the bridge
but the thing is it has to be the left hand. you know, with the thumb on the right and all.
Didn't think of that, he was screwed no matter what he did
jessidraws If my arm was cut off, I would pick it up and carry it with me.
Danshaku Lawrence same.
WOW
He was the villain all the time!
And it's impossible to dominate the world with that X robot! Because everyone has robotic left arms and the machine needed real hands! This is geeeeeeeeniuss!!
Lol I like it. Good blend of 2/3D.
Felix Figueroa Yeah some parts felt like a platform jump game!
The best ive seen yet .... most is 2d, the face and mouth are animated/painted over the 3d model .. what need to download and watch frame by frame
The only things that bugs me about all this is that if a laser was to cut off an arm, it wouldn't bleed. The intense heat from the laser would seal the wound up before and blood was spilled. Otherwise amazing animation
haha I thought the exact same thing!
yeah, but you know.......blood is cool and shit
Riyad Chokri I singed bloody arm is also bloody cool!
i think a lot more blood would be lost from a cleanly sliced off limb so it's probably that the laser was so focused that it left a *thin* layer of cauterization which would reopen like a scab when the skin around it shifts
You'd think so, but no. A laser powerful enough to cut an arm off in a single sweep would actually boil the blood it contacted instantly into steam, making it less of a cauterizing action than just exploding his arm off.
what i loved the most in this :
transitions between scenes,
and the good/bad characters thing, it was well done even the look of the principle character was "good character" looking. love it.
Engaging yet simple story line. I've seen roughly 50 CG bros shorts and this is definitely in the top 3! Fantastic art work, great action sequences, and dramatic shifts from light to dark environments. We always say in film: "the Big 3; sound, composition and framing" and this short has all 3 in spades! The music complimented the emotional moments and created an admiration for the hero. I really wanted to see him win. 5 Stars!
AMAZING!!
This was awesome.
I jumped to conclusions that the merchant sold him a map that he knew would lead to his peril with no reward.
He got mad cash, and that problem that had just paid him wouldn't be complaining for a _refund_.
Well, the merchant did not expect he would succeed finding anything useful there.
It didn't cost him an arm and a leg, but 2 arms.
Dito and his life
+Tjake123 -TH-cam og
didn't cost him a sibling either
i feel those fma feelings coming
Lol, yeah! (FMA?)
love to see an adventure platform with this animatics
The sound is what I best remember about this piece. So nicely done.
Am I the only one who thinks he should've ran back and retrieve his arm when he still has the chance...I mean, it's still fresh
True but he didn't figure it out in time.
GreenGrounds Doesn’t matter, the hand wouldn’t of helped anyway, he needed a flesh LEFT arm, his left arm was robotic so, yeah
Yep
@@conscripthornet4430 technically it doesn't matter if it's left or right, as long as the limb is flesh with finger print he can control the robot
It had a heat detection. The dead arm is Cold, you know
This gave me some deeep INCREDIBLES nostalgia. loved it.
This is so good, the only thing that is missing is the Love Death & Robots Logo as the Intro!
Ahhhh revisit. Don't know why YT keeps recommending videos I've seen years ago and liked already. Get your algorithms together.
I still love this story.
The background details and lighting effects are extraordinary!
Wait so the ""protagonist" was looking to rule that evil robot thing so he can destroy the world?
Sir0cks yyyyyyep...at first i didn't get the ending but at the second time i understood it...and i didn't feel bad for him!
Who doesn't want a robot that can destroy the world!!!!!
Or rule the world and kill all who oppose him
I don't think the robot was evil. I think it was trying to keep itself from being controlled.
Protagonist doesn’t always mean good :)
Art , sounds, camera movement, character, and environment design are all wonderful in this movie.
GAME OVER 11:19
The contrast combination of comics and games is amazing
Whenever I have a game over, I think it would be really fun to have an animation like this.
I watched this on VRV 2-3 times, I could've sworn that this was 2D, I already considered this one of the best things I've ever seen and this just made it even better.
This artwork would make a great game :D
There honestly shouldn't have been blood. I think the laser would've sterilized it as soon as it chopped it off.
Depends on the lazer I guess. Is it like a heat lazer? Or is it like an atom smasher lazer (launching molecules very fast, cuasing very... very clean cuts)
The second one.
Stroud Tha God well that I would assume due to the lack of carterization.
Maybe cauterization was why there wasn't more blood. I actually thought that was a surprisingly little amount.
For the most part cool story, very nice animation.
Nice work on the "journey" storytelling; sense of adventure, foreshadowing (e.g. with the bird flying away before you know he'll slip), plottwists, jokes, setting up conflict, viewer thinking along with the protagonist, atmospherics.
Great music design and I enjoyed the soundtracks, they gave some extra energy to the short. Picking up the same music when the protagonist left the store, as when he entered the scene at the beginning, I found an interesting touch.
The plot had a good pace, but started slacking when the antagonist had to be beaten again and again, with not so many new elements.
Towards the end, I started thinking ahead of the character's actions (i.e. "grab the arm instead of fuzzing with the computer!"); which didn't exactly thicken the tension but rather felt a bit aimless and odd.
The finale was not as strong as may have been expected from the former pace, energy or even surprises of the short - the character's defeat might in itself have been a nice classic tragedy-type of ending, but the connection to the moral justification for it could have been clearer.
I suppose it would be "don't get your arms lazered off your body", but "greed does not reward" might work as well :p
This small evaluation is meant positive. After all, that there's something to give critique on, means there's enough interesting substance to criticise in the first place.
I would surely encourage the artists to keep on creating!
Mouwrits Bond
the cool thing about it is that at first one may think the robot was the villain, but in the end it was just protecting the world from evil people who would have used their bad intentions to use it in their destroying the world.
when you have 4 projects you waited last second to do, but you gotta get that daily dose of beautiful YT animations.
I hope this blows up, saw thin on Instagram a week ago
it's ok, but it has nothing on shelter.
Firestar9114 what's shelter?
i think they meant the music video for porter robinson - shelter. though personally i think art-wise and details, this one is way better. but of course shelter is lovable for the music (which is the main point) and the storyline that goes with it.
the story line is incredibly moving and heart wrenching, the music is obviously good, but the animation was also beautiful and you could feel the passion they poured into the short.
C'thulu TheGreat?
One of the greatest animated action film I've watched. Brilliant story, great animation, and amazing sound. Hats off
This should be in the upcoming love, death, and robots season.
❤️☠️🤖
The old classic tale of reaping what you sow
Spectacular. I guess his power hand had one major flaw after all...
Still, ain't gonna work, that scanner requires a flesh left hand, which he doesn't have to begin with!
BC he has a left robot arm.
i need another version of this, or a continue with the same protagonist, this was absolutely awesome
Would need a new protagonist. This one's kind of dead.
Ey x Ien maybe a prequel? A backstory with this character would be amazing.
Did you mean "antagonist"?
I loved the aesthetic, i really like cyberpunk and dystopian worlds
That arm chop was personal.
The art style, that thing that chases the guy...
Reminds me of the game *"Another World"*
This needs to be a series
also sucks to not have an arm when u need one o-o
The posture and body language of your characters were phenomenal! Very well done!
This is legitimately one of the best pieces of story telling I've ever encountered.
At first the protagonist looked like a cool dude, but after all that killing the merchant and almost got his "hands" onto the super WMD...I feel good that karma made him pay his debt by the most cruel way possible.
I feel like it was also foreshadowed when the protagonist yeeted a knife at animal
I have watched a far few times over the years and have to say that this is of my most favorite and enjoyed animated stories with beautiful dynamic sound! #Stunning
Oh my god those backgrounds, those EVERYTHING
Love the 90s neon-cyberpunk point&click adventure game aesthetic!!!
I am 75% certain that most of this was inspired by video games in some way.
the game was already over before he even started it. the scan required a real left hand. knowing the requirements is just as equally important as having the right map.
Only 1.200.000 views in 3 years? Cmon, wtf?
This is amazing.
Чудесный мультик о чрезмерной самонадеянности и эгоизме! Очень впечатляет ) музыка и атмосфера в целом крутые)
your treasure is what you value. the shop owner values destructive power. the explorer values currency.
I should've recognized that evil grin when he was riding up the lift all smug-like
That animation is simply amazing, great work to the animators that did this you are truly talented.
Futuristic and amazing story and animation
This is amazing. It inpires me a ton.
I wish stuff like this this got more attention.
Im in love with the art style damn
This is so good. I love this so much. I keep coming back to it. I love the style, the music, the atmosphere, everything.
MORE!!!! I want see more of this story or universe! This AWESOME
You guys would make a pretty bad ass game if you put your minds to it
that short film is sad and super funny well i hope the guy learnt his lesson
Charity Omenka why funny?
The facial expressions, backgrounds, animation, and art style are marvelous
Such style! Such color! Such panache! Such a leitmotif!
in love the animation and art style! so dope!
Cartoon gorgeous! Sound design awesome!
What a track is played at 2:02 to 3:15?
Best animation, lighting, shots and story since the Incredibles. Kudos!
I love the red X blinking at 11:39, such an eerie sound
jesus 10billion tons that thing could lift a damn mountain
Insert Random "your Mum-Joke"
*i'm loved this anime it's Short and don't like a natural anime but i loved.*
Ayzana san it's not anime.
Nazeem
*ammm Yes it is already Anime If you watched*
*Any Anime In your life You will knowThis* *drawing Style It is to draw anime style*
Ayzana san it looks like Megaman or something but not an anime, it has more frames the style is videogamish but not pure anime
Nazeem
*Yes, you're right it's not Pure Anime But he* *still Using drawing Japanese style In anime*
Ayzana san yeah he is
I remember watching this when it first came out, ahhhh nostalgia, bringing back memories. Still my favourite one
I don't know why, but I always keep coming back to this because the protag/antag is hot as hell.
I think Shiro from Voltron and Astroboy had a son.
Makes you wonder: if he was 100% biological human, would the robot have hunted him?
Probably. I feel like it was left in "defense" mode of whatever that place had been previously. So it's just doing as programmed. After all, it never scanned him to see it he was all flesh or not. The button may have activated as a "shut down" switch for that feature.
Very cool. I love this kind of stuff with lost advanced civilizations. I really love this style of using CG to make cartoon looking stuff. And I'll admit I would totally get an X-5 arm for myself. I just wouldn't use it to pillage ruins. Probaby just rocket punch my brothers when they aren't looking or change channels on the T.V. when I can't find the remote.
character design and animation is awesome!
It reminds me of fade to black / another world in its aesthetics. It is a good thing to remember...
I like the twist.
Parts of this reminded me of "The Iron Giant" and "Atlantis"
Vitaliy worked on an episode of love death and robots and it is soooo good! It immediately reminded me of this!
This is truly awesome.
why didn't that part of the building fall when the bridge was destroyed
max finazzo just go with it and say ropes and suspensions
Didn't you see the many spherical thingies that fly? I thought the same thing until I noticed the detail...
Tjake123 -TH-cam look at the bottom. There are thrusters that keeps it up.
From a design perspective the bridge shouldn't have been solid, but suspended, signalling that it does not support the other structure. But that's only if you want the viewer to get it instantly.
He was too ambitious, too arrogant, and paid the same price that he paid for the ball.
This.is.so.f*kin.cool. MOOORE WITH THIS CHARACTER ! It was epic !
I like that there is no words, It makes your brain tell the story but a very precise story to lead your brain/ story.
Live by the sword die by the sword, eh?
A bit of a cliche' ending, was afraid it was going to be "You need a human hand" sort of thing when he lost his right arm.
What I wasn't expecting, was the "2 days earlier" bit, to make you not feel so bad for the bastard.
I'd lost my sympathy for the dude the moment he killed that bunny, that bad, bad man.
I lost my sympathy when he imagined taking over the world.
I didn't lose my sympathy because I never had one in the first place.
@@Toshimi1043 that's what the creators wanted
@Sage Channel Ikr!? The guy dealt with him honestly.Their was no need to kill him.
Why does this not have more likes? This is fantastic.
This was awesome. The music was great.
Heavy visual influence from maaaany other famous movie/game titles, such as Akira, Astroboy, Lord of the Rings (Gandalf Vs Balrog) or the game Out of this World, or even Oddworld Abe's Oddissey (compare their Scarab monster and the X orb machine). Other than that, it was a great story. Kudos.
This was good. Kept me interested
This is awesome, love the character, story, animation, and concept. Radical
здорово, молодцы! cool, well done!
Bad ambition create your own grave.
Nyoman Wira I'd like to to see you do better
What you mean?
What the actual fuck are you talking about?
Nyoman Wira OH SORRY I THOUGHT IT SAID ANIMATION
Sorry accepted. Maybe you need some water dude
