I love the line “Are you coming, or what? You’ve got my car keys!” implying that he wouldn’t have come back for his coworker had he had his car keys on him. It just shows how much more humanity Don and Andy have, than the actual unaffected humans.
When the cameraman zooms into the two small, albeit healthy, plants... it was a very sweet moment. These decaying humans are trying to grow life and create a home, even if it is small.
andy is such a sweetheart, don is broken but still has a good heart and most importantly props to the cameraman decided stay and capture that beautiful moment
I love how the cameraman is given a voice through his/her choice of focus, even if he/she never says a word. If this were feature length, it would be about the reporter slowly changing his views of the undead.
Don and Andy show so much real compassion and empathy for eachother. It truly shows that they are truly still human. The reporter did not care that they were, he wanted a good story. Camera man on the other part seems to have a genuine interest in their story. These characters are so beautifully done, i would love to see them fleshed out more, and in a full length film.
Thing is that, if people said the truth on the internet, then they get called crazy. By people like you, by people like me, by anyone. You wouldn't understand how much brainwashing occurs in your life.
Holy shit, now that you've brought it up, I can almost see it. The daily lives of different cured zombies living in the zone. The struggles they face! The guilt of not knowing what they did after they turned!!! SHIT! SIGN ME THE FUCK UP!!!
i want this animated into a series so badllyyyy, i’ve always wanted to see a good show where zombies are just sentient, rotting people. it makes me so happy
I love how open to interpretation there relationship is. They could be lovers, they could be friends, they could even be total strangers who found each other after the outbreak, but they love each other in a way that hurts when the other hurts. Very cool
@@kingjammm3500 kids get manipulated by the lgbtq and makes kids believe that they are gay or that they can change their gender, like when a 6 year old sees two guys kissing, it messes with the kids mind and makes them confused with their sexuality, im not good at explaining things but I hope I did good
@@MokPlex people who are gay that always saw straight media still turned out gay? You're only using kids as a reason to hate on the entirety of lgbt why is it ok to only show straight media?
“You still there man?” You can hear the vulnerability in his voice. Don needs Andy just as much as Andy needs him. So moving. In a world where he has nothing anymore he still has Andy. And it only took him less than a minute to be en route after him. A+. Really.
I cried when he pulled out that harmonica. My dad loves his harmonica. He can be a bit gruff at times (military guy) but when he's playing music, his soul shines. This short film was so bleak but had so much life in it.
I know Andy is the zombie portrayed as the one who cares the most in the beginning, but I think people are sleepin on Don. It takes a lot to throw away your pride and anger to heal the divide between two people, and what he did shows how much he cares for their relationship.
Yeah, he's angry but he still has a heart and when he sees his friend (or whatever) is hurt he knows he took it too far and knows he needs to apologise. He's a man who had his live taken from him, but he doesn't want to lose anything else
This could've been really awesome as a Netflix series, in each episode they show interviews to some zombies, and also just explaining their story and seeing them returning to their happy lives, y'know?
This is too good for netflix , but you still dream... unfortunately nobody will pay for this, becouse thie video shows a lot of bad things of the real world.
The man said he was in the facility for 6 years. The reporter said the cure was developed 5 years ago. He was put in the prison for 1 year without the cure.
I love the cameraman. The reporter is terrified and leaves, portraying the deep-seated and unreasonable fear of these people whereas the cameraman seeks to capture it all. The good and bad. A genuine person.
@Tintin Mcdindin the website states that it's more of a father son relationship, but even if he was it means literally nothing about the character, so take your homophobic shit and leave please
@Brosef Stylin1878 In this video, though, the zombie outbreak was treated like a disease rather than a post-death phenomenon. Historically, many people were treated the same way as these guys because they had an illness that wasn't understood at the time and was therefore considered beyond control.
I feel like if the camman was left alone on this he wouldve had a regular cool conversation with those guys. No words spoken yet there was a lot of empathy showed by the camman
They're both so cute! Andy is adorable and seems to be trying to make the best out of the situation while Don is clearly much less ok with everything but still does his best to help out and genuinely cares for Andy to the point where he'll continue on with what he considers a hopeless life just for him.
It’s horrible to see how even when they’re clearly just as human as everyone else, the man was willing to interpret the tiniest negative thing they do as proof they don’t belong in society, even though he likely wouldn’t have minded if they were humans acting like that. It’s even worse to realise that this prejudice is an actual thing right now in the real world being held against real groups of people.
@@cit1zz3n.ex3 You’re the only one who speaks the truth. Pretty sure no person in the right mind would not be scared. People who say they wouldn’t should be thrown into a room with domesticated predators of humans and see them fight.
@@olivia.8152 didnt he literally show that these zombies are still humans by staying around after the emotional outburst? anyone with a brain watching this footage knows that these are just people with mental issues, which isnt that hard to undersand since these zombies havent had much social contact in years
OR the message is about military people like normal soldiers, Whom get used as (some times) meat shields. They will send them out there ti fight even if they know they will die. Only for a military strategy or something. I think that's what Don, the big zombie was talking about. And the thin one, being nice and all, was showing to be "human" and the journalists called them a threat in pubblic. So yes, ur understanding was good but missed a little part :)
It could've been a fun twist if the reporter had been mugged by an ordinary human in that shady street at the end. As in spreading misinformation about the zombies while facing actual danger from another human.
The moral of the animation is clearly just because you look like a monster doesn't make you one, and learning to accept some outcomes are a product of life and cannot be changed. This is no ones fault, its just a fact of life. I really enjoyed how the set up was centered around the zombies but the real focus was the reporter. I really enjoyed this and feel better having watched it. Thank you for it.
One noticeable thing to me is that Andy is content in his "new" life as he isn't worrying about what he's lost by becoming a zombie while his friend is miserable thinking about the life he had 6 years ago. Acceptance is key to happiness.
But Andy is still very fragile overly enthusiastic and emotional, which means he's not really happy. I don't really think he's happy. I think he's just in denial.
Seeing the evidence of Andy wearing himself down with his nervous tics, his arm and neck worn down, resonate with me. It fleshed him out immediately in my eyes (no pun intended). This is masterful work
Don playing the harmonica for Andy is so heartwarming. They have been living together for years and they still fight but they are very close and that is adorable, hope they get a better house or something. I can see what Don has gone through just by him being so frustrated, it's great the person behind the camera caught him "apologising" to Andy.
@@jeanzlarg6686 his intestine are out you think he've got energy for that I think the anger buildup is acceptable but ye I see where you coming from and respect but ye this is my point .
Why can't I just get more of this in a feed? Way down the list I found this gem. AND immediately right back to disasters and horror. Maybe it's just me. I count this as a win. This writer an animator did a great job.
I like how the zombies are in apartment 13. It might be just me reading into it too much, but I think it’s a subtle hint reinforcing the idea that the zombies were just victims of circumstance.
I skipped ahead and my headcanon was like "Ohh they probably cured the neurological effects of zombification but not It's physical effects" And that was exactly right. That's a very good concept honestly.
This is the display of human prejudice towards the ones that are different from the norm, propaganded by media, you can relate because you're probably part of a minority yourself. Close minded people see different from them as wrong, while in reality different is just different, nobody is better or worse than the other, and without any differences we would be all the same and all boring empty husks with no character
I want a whole movie of this! In just 6 minutes I'm already connected to the characters and wish I could watch their backstory and hopefully happy ending.
Amen! I felt like I was watching something like a mashup of Monster House and Trollhunter, animation mixed with the handheld camera “documentary” style. I really think it would do amazing as a full-length movie.
baTman 77 there's different kinds of relationships I hope you get that LMAO. You can have relationship problems without actually being in a romantic relationship
I think my favorite part of this short film is when Don starts to play the harmonica. Not just because of how emotionally heavy the moment is but the actual shot itself. You get a clear shot of his hand and the wedding ring he still wears on his finger. And that to me is just a fantastic example of showing and not telling during a story. It makes his "I had a life phrase" so much more meaningful.
@@distorted5589 I don't think so, I think these two guys got randomly shacked up as "roommates". The ring could have been from "his goddam life". Before he was a zombie.
The camera man felt like the main character in fp games, you know the ones where the hero never talks yet everybody understands him as if he was saying the most insperational thing they've ever heard.
*”the images speak for themselves”* I saw this video along time ago and have probably watched this more than once, but I still enjoy it each time. I really like the way the cameraman decides to stay, because our(the viewers’ of this TH-cam video and even the ‘viewers’ of the video of the story) understandings’ of what’s going on really relies on what the camera & camera man are showing us. What I got out of this video are 2 things: 1) that it’s media’s responsibility to show an honest image (because what they show is what many believe) 2) & that overall, people should hear things out and be open minded rather than running away when it gets difficult or scary. It’s important to hear out a whole situation and decided what something means for yourself, rather than run away like and form a belief from pieces of the truth like the reporter
Andy is such an amazing character,you can tell he's really trying to be a good person even in the shitty circumstances he finds himself in,Don is a really sympathetic character aswell,it must be hard to work all your life to gain some level of status in the corporate world only to have that taken away by something out of your control,he probably feels cheated as if all those years of hard work had been for nothing,I understand why he would be upset,but the fact that he's willing to put all that aside for his lover is really touching...
They're just 2 men who got imprisoned together because they got infected during the Zombie outbreak. Overtime they became friends. But after 6 years of being imprisoned together, they started to behave like an old married couple. Ya know? There's nothing gay about that! Just look at soldiers in the army or take a look at a prisoners cell, there are men who are trapped together and have to spend many years living with the same roommate. Not everything has to be fkn gay 😤
I've actually watched District 9 the plots could be seen as SIMILAR but the reporters have different stances on their respective topics. The reporter from District 9 if i remember correctly was more curious than concerned. Also I'm more talking, "cured" zombies, and societies stance on them. Like that movie Fido had an interesting look at it. and I find alien, and zombie themes tend to have different atmospheres.
In The Flesh is about reintegrating cured zombies back into society and it's really well done. It only got 2 short seasons but it's worth checking out. Some great characterisation.
As someone who is disabled, their situation resonates with me. I haven’t always been disabled, there’s so much I’ve lost because of my illness. Some days I’m Andy, grateful for what I am able to do. Some days it’s all too much and I’m as down as Don. This is definitely a great concept for a story to be explored further ❤️💐
I imagine watching everyone around you get ripped open and have their insides pulled out and eaten while their fully aware and conscious is a bit hard to forgive or forget
Dragutin the Slav- Veliki except in reality, they are pushing the narrative of the filmmaker, not the cartoon newsmen. The news media bends over backwards to excuse and cover up for the scum of the earth - hamas, ms-13, Islamic rape gangs etc. Just like how this film does not show any zombie violence.
larry lovehandle you're kidding right, it didn't show any violence because there was none, the reporter spoke about a previous incident and used that to tar everyone with the same brush. Kind of like the far right to towards Muslims and the far left towards Jews. Everyone does this, can't just judge each situation on its own merits. This a problem with broadcasters like CNN and FOX, neither of them just say it as it is, both push their own spin on it. Can't just be objective. Then joe average will pick a side and ride that 🐂💩 as though their life counts on it. Lo and behold the *objective facts* get left by the wayside.
I just love to rewatch this from time to time, it's a gentle reminder to not let ourselves become as blind as the interviewer and the zombies interacting in the end is always so heartwarming! The silent cameraman really makes you feel like you're there, the images he focuses on do truly speak for themselves, it's just an insanely well done short
I feel like this shows what life after prison is like and the integration of former inmates back into society. They were once human, and had lives and after prison they aren’t left with jobs or a way of returning to life as it was before. They are feared as threats to those of us who haven’t been “zombies”.
I love the line “Are you coming, or what? You’ve got my car keys!” implying that he wouldn’t have come back for his coworker had he had his car keys on him. It just shows how much more humanity Don and Andy have, than the actual unaffected humans.
Wow I didn’t even notice that detail!
Omg finally one comment who thought about this ! I wrote about it too but was scrolling to find out that how come nobody got this BIG detail
You have THE car keys .
You forgot about the cameraman
Looks like a case of apocalypse survivor mindset.
The saddest part is that the news would probably cut out the part where they’re making up at the end and only show the “terrifying meltdown”
Sadly, that's how media is.
That's news for you
and thats why this short is terrifyingly accurate (besides the zombie people)
that's exactly the point why do you need yo say that?
ARMY!!
When the cameraman zooms into the two small, albeit healthy, plants... it was a very sweet moment. These decaying humans are trying to grow life and create a home, even if it is small.
Camera man does a lot, my favorite was at 5:21 it is his way of saying "yeah it not possible because of people like you"
❤
A story about cured zombies post-outbreak is a really clever idea. I'd love to see more media explore this concept.
Somewhat fits the books/Movie The Girl With All The Gifts

OR the message is about military people like normal soldiers, Whom get used as (some times) meat shields. They will send them out there ti fight even if they know they will die. Only for a military strategy or something. I think that's what Don, the big zombie was talking about. And the thin one, being nice and all, was showing to be "human" and the journalists called them a threat in pubblic. So yes, ur understanding was good but missed a little part :)
It could've been a fun twist if the reporter had been mugged by an ordinary human in that shady street at the end. As in spreading misinformation about the zombies while facing actual danger from another human.
That would’ve been a great twist!
Subtle
or that the murder they were reporting was actually by a human
This really does a great job on how we view others as a society, and how the media manipulates the news for its own benefit
spot on
The moral of the animation is clearly just because you look like a monster doesn't make you one, and learning to accept some outcomes are a product of life and cannot be changed. This is no ones fault, its just a fact of life. I really enjoyed how the set up was centered around the zombies but the real focus was the reporter. I really enjoyed this and feel better having watched it. Thank you for it.

One noticeable thing to me is that Andy is content in his "new" life as he isn't worrying about what he's lost by becoming a zombie while his friend is miserable thinking about the life he had 6 years ago. Acceptance is key to happiness.
But Andy is still very fragile overly enthusiastic and emotional, which means he's not really happy.
I don't really think he's happy. I think he's just in denial.
@@petitesayo4542
For sure, these two have a side that needs balancing out.
Andy clearly had a "gd life" as well, but maybe doesn't talk about it as much because he doesn't want to make Don feel even worse.
I think ur right any has accepted that’s his life and he’s happy and don just can’t accept it
"friend"
I thought that skinny zombie was so cute that he just tried to be calm through it all and be thoughtful ❤️
Slime_central._ yes I knowwww he was so cuteee
Slime_central._ I think the skinny zombie is a female. I could be wrong
TheDragonfriday I think so too
Except Don called him "man"
Slime_central._ sounds like Olaf
Seeing the evidence of Andy wearing himself down with his nervous tics, his arm and neck worn down, resonate with me. It fleshed him out immediately in my eyes (no pun intended). This is masterful work
Don playing the harmonica for Andy is so heartwarming. They have been living together for years and they still fight but they are very close and that is adorable, hope they get a better house or something. I can see what Don has gone through just by him being so frustrated, it's great the person behind the camera caught him "apologising" to Andy.

This is the display of human prejudice towards the ones that are different from the norm, propaganded by media, you can relate because you're probably part of a minority yourself. Close minded people see different from them as wrong, while in reality different is just different, nobody is better or worse than the other, and without any differences we would be all the same and all boring empty husks with no character
Right? That cameraman had no business recording their private argument.
Those zombies are a couple. Nobody can convince me otherwise.
The odd couple.

Rahul Ban cheers, ♪
Might I suggest the cartoon Ugly Anericans?
I think my favorite part of this short film is when Don starts to play the harmonica. Not just because of how emotionally heavy the moment is but the actual shot itself. You get a clear shot of his hand and the wedding ring he still wears on his finger. And that to me is just a fantastic example of showing and not telling during a story. It makes his "I had a life phrase" so much more meaningful.
minimoon137 wait so the zombie was gay?
@@distorted5589 I don't think so, I think these two guys got randomly shacked up as "roommates". The ring could have been from "his goddam life". Before he was a zombie.

*”the images speak for themselves”*
I saw this video along time ago and have probably watched this more than once, but I still enjoy it each time. I really like the way the cameraman decides to stay, because our(the viewers’ of this TH-cam video and even the ‘viewers’ of the video of the story) understandings’ of what’s going on really relies on what the camera & camera man are showing us.
What I got out of this video are 2 things:
1) that it’s media’s responsibility to show an honest image (because what they show is what many believe)
2) & that overall, people should hear things out and be open minded rather than running away when it gets difficult or scary. It’s important to hear out a whole situation and decided what something means for yourself, rather than run away like and form a belief from pieces of the truth like the reporter
IU
Finally a comment not preaching about gay relationships
Holy sh*t, somebody just explained Religion...
Typa person who would write a essay on this
sadly, in reality.. media and people aren't working/ behaving/ approaching things like that¡
Andy is such an amazing character,you can tell he's really trying to be a good person even in the shitty circumstances he finds himself in,Don is a really sympathetic character aswell,it must be hard to work all your life to gain some level of status in the corporate world only to have that taken away by something out of your control,he probably feels cheated as if all those years of hard work had been for nothing,I understand why he would be upset,but the fact that he's willing to put all that aside for his lover is really touching...
Lover?
They have great chemistry with each other
no hate against gay couples but the website says that don is a father figure to andy
@@minkminkd i’m sorry that’s just a really weird father-in-cent relationship then because I got lovers vibes Like a married couple
They're just 2 men who got imprisoned together because they got infected during the Zombie outbreak. Overtime they became friends. But after 6 years of being imprisoned together, they started to behave like an old married couple. Ya know? There's nothing gay about that! Just look at soldiers in the army or take a look at a prisoners cell, there are men who are trapped together and have to spend many years living with the same roommate. Not everything has to be fkn gay 😤
It was posted 7 years ago, but somehow it is so accurate to what is happening recently
This made me so sad, you have to make a series of this. I NEED to see the guys eventually find their place
5:00 When you realize that the reporter only came back for the cameraman because he has his car keys

Which also implies that he went to the car without the camera man
starblazer 6, lol, I noticed that too, I can imagine the thought process where the reporter dude got outside.😂
I'd SERIOUSLY watch a feature film based on this premise!
District 9
I've actually watched District 9 the plots could be seen as SIMILAR but the reporters have different stances on their respective topics. The reporter from District 9 if i remember correctly was more curious than concerned.
Also I'm more talking, "cured" zombies, and societies stance on them. Like that movie Fido had an interesting look at it. and I find alien, and zombie themes tend to have different atmospheres.
In The Flesh is about reintegrating cured zombies back into society and it's really well done. It only got 2 short seasons but it's worth checking out. Some great characterisation.
Thanks! I'm gonna check that shit out!

This animation describes how does the media act.
They see both sides of the story but tell us only one.
That's it, nothing else.
Dragutin the Slav- Veliki except in reality, they are pushing the narrative of the filmmaker, not the cartoon newsmen. The news media bends over backwards to excuse and cover up for the scum of the earth - hamas, ms-13, Islamic rape gangs etc. Just like how this film does not show any zombie violence.
larry lovehandle you're kidding right, it didn't show any violence because there was none, the reporter spoke about a previous incident and used that to tar everyone with the same brush.
Kind of like the far right to towards Muslims and the far left towards Jews. Everyone does this, can't just judge each situation on its own merits.
This a problem with broadcasters like CNN and FOX, neither of them just say it as it is, both push their own spin on it. Can't just be objective. Then joe average will pick a side and ride that 🐂💩 as though their life counts on it. Lo and behold the *objective facts* get left by the wayside.
I hate this kinds of animations

I just love to rewatch this from time to time, it's a gentle reminder to not let ourselves become as blind as the interviewer and the zombies interacting in the end is always so heartwarming! The silent cameraman really makes you feel like you're there, the images he focuses on do truly speak for themselves, it's just an insanely well done short
I feel like this shows what life after prison is like and the integration of former inmates back into society. They were once human, and had lives and after prison they aren’t left with jobs or a way of returning to life as it was before. They are feared as threats to those of us who haven’t been “zombies”.
ok
