Me: *gives really weird names to my art* Friends: *judge me* Crazy good artist in this series: *Repeatedly refers to a tower in the background as the penis castle* Me: *gestures angrily* ITS NOT JUST ME
Lol yea he called it out at least twice in video Edit: also its not just u I made a chara whos named spoopy vampuzenelle lol cuz it was the best and it stuck qnd it was for spoopy month
I thought the exceptional boy was a girl because I thought the exceptional women running from the monster was the child when they grew up. Anyone else think this?
I have fallen in love with the Dystopian society that he's created. The story behind it is amazing, and the animation put into it is beautiful. I adore how he makes videos explaining his thoughts behind it. I can't wait to see more of this.
it's actually the society we already live in, he just drew it at its best with an apocalyptic touch, I think that's one of the things that makes the series so interesting and deep
Within the lore, the thing I enjoy the most is how the exceptionals are treated. They treat uglies mercifully by killing them, but the exceptionals have the most dire punishment, which was assimilation. Even before you made this video, I had figured out the lore, even if slightly different to how you describe it.
I know I'm late and you probably seen the latest video but you have to remember the humans don't think like us and they think that dying "ugly" is part of life
Actually the exceptional citizens treat being part of hive as a great honour. I just realized something, in the first few shorts, a lot of the uglies are running away from the handymen, but where we are now in the story (Millenia later, during model citizen abs friendly shadow) they all go peacefully to their graves, the mother in friendly shadow is even fine with the fact that she’ll be killed, worrying more about her daughter. Autodale has become more and more stable, it takes less effort to keep up the perfect cycle
Coded _Ragon. Or what if she is both ugly and exceptional? She can be intelligent and creative like her brother, but also have a quality that the robots think is ugly, like if she's a lesbian.
I find this world extremely interesting, it has a simple yet terrifying feel to it. I noticed that all the uglies were adults, even the ones that were crippled or blind something they would have noticed in childhood. I wonder, do the robots wait for someone to grow to a certain age to see if they will fit in to the world veiw or some how fix themselves and then kill them off when they don't? Idk, just a kinda theory I made up I guess. I hope you make more shorts soon, I really like them
I think maybe it's because they don't have as much blood (or whatever is harvested for the matriarch) as children so they let them grow up a bit before sacrificing them
The other replies are good theories, but my headcannon is that Dead Sound was just more disturbed by the idea of children being killed, so he doesnt show it
You know what I really enjoy about these? Is that you give such detail about your process, about the details, about the inspiration behind all of it, and that these behind the scenes are double the length of the actual shorts. It shows just how much effort and time and blood and sweat and tears (those last three may be metaphorical) you put in these. Thank you for your thought process, I can't wait to see what you have in store for the next time around you visit this universe, if you do at this point.
The assimilated are probably used as extra motherboards, memory banks and processors for the legions of Handimen. They are exceptional, they are the future, they are Autodale
Why not make a survival horror game in which you play as an exceptional and the only way to survive is to be different and creative with survival and avoiding monsters.
@@rinb4599 this guy is inspired by those games too!(he said it in the making of "being pretty"---> th-cam.com/video/jVTLcBAJE3Q/w-d-xo.html ).I also love Playdead's games too! Even tho they only have 2 games but they really passioned making those games. My personal favorite is INSIDE, cuz i always love the idea of a dystopian world.
Oh my god, to start off can I say just how amazing your short films are? They’re so stylistic and creative. Each one always leaves me wanting more of the story. Also, These “crafting” videos are really helpful cause I’ve always wanted to make a short film but I’ve never known how, I just bought a sketch book so I can start working on concepts n all that jazz. I never would have thought to use sticky notes on it but now I see how easy it is to just keep adding and remiving them instead of erasing and leaving marks on the page :D keep up the great work ( and pls make more short films )
I aspire to have ink drawings, sketches, and paintings as detailed as yours. You are such a talented individual, and you think up such genuine concepts. Huge props to you for this fantastic dystopian project!
I think if you make another video on this world, you could show what the pretty people actually do. Like, what do the fathers do at work in a world like this? Since most places that benefitted most from the “American Dream” were places that had nearby factories where most fathers could earn money, thereby allowing them to spend it and drive up local economy. So how would the idea of the “working father” be shown in Autodale? It doesn’t have to be the story, you could just show what they do, but it _could_ be the story. The first thing that comes to my mind is a Handyman factory.
You're amazing! You have made so many people, including myself, think more about, well, everything! I have truly enjoyed these animated shorts and anxiously await new ones, even if you start a different project! Thank you so much for your wonderfully sinister brain!
I really love your dystopia animations and love hearing about why you do these things in the animation, hell even you talking about how the animations worked intrigued me. I really hope you continue these dystopia animations and the explanation videos that go with it.
I wonder if the original art you did could be a backstory for the Hive Mother. What if it was a twisted version of Beauty and the Beast? Where she was a "beauty" that tried to help a "beast" but he hurt her so instead of a happy ending, it twisted her pov. And perhaps the Beast is out there in the real world trying to help some escape her dystopia.
I love these concepts with a immense passion and have often tried manifest these ideas in to my own works and this is one of the best ways I’ve seen this done and so I must thank you for the brilliant inspiration.
So........ Where did Autodale come from? How did a bloody hivemind get installed? What's outside Autodale? What is the objective of the hivemind? Is there one? What exactly is the hivemind designed to do, anyway? Create and maintain a so called "perfect society." Who built it, and why?
Can't really answer most of those things, but I was thinking that the "freaks" in that society may have been some type of experiment gone wrong with the matriarch and happened to live in the woods.
Don’t know Made out of exceptionals, help run the town, the mayor decided to use the exceptionals instead of label them as ugly To keep up the perfect cycle
3:42 I never would have expected such a phrase to be said in such a calm, serious manner. Yet somehow, that makes it even better. Kudos to you for creating these spectacular shorts. Your drawings and paintings look amazing too.
What you make is beautiful and deep, plus it is so incredibly detail. All of it is wonderfully thought out and I’m surprised that there isn’t more people watching and loving this. It is all so intricate and fabulous that I am just at a lost of words when I see it all. Thank you so much for all your videos, drawing and works, it all just so gorgeous.
I love your animations so much and really appreciate the behind the scenes videos but I would really love for you too do some more animation based tutorials on this. Taking about the programs you use, how you started out, etc. I want to get into animation but have no idea how
I’m not a big gamer but seeing this makes me LonGgg to be able to lay a game based off of this. I really hopes this wonderful story is able to become a game, it would be a lot of work but the ending result would be absolutely amazing! I have no doubt that it won’t get big!
i LOVE hearing your process, your way of thinking. the way you talk about your ideas and the way you talk of the thoughts that lead up to them... you can tell that you’re just an insanely clever dude! i’m genuinely awestruck by everything you create. i just wanted to thank you for sharing these videos with us! they’re obviously very personal and i think it’s real special to be allowed into your mind for a bit, so to speak!
I feel.... that a true AI wouldn't think this is a perfect society unless they were specifically programmed to do so. which means someone wanted that to happen. I dunno, maybe I overestimate AI, but this is a weird conclusion for an AI to come to. I love your art, it's so beautiful
If it was an AI it most definitely wasn't tasked with the perfect society. At least from our perspective, it seems like it was tasked with the perfect human cycle or the most robot like humans. Unless of course this machine truly has no understanding of human rights in which case, yep this is accurate. If you told an AI that didn't understand your intention or rights take you happy, it might just tie you to a chair and drug you.
Your Dystopia series is the first series of yours that I have watched so far and I absolutely love it! I love the story concept, the artwork, EVERYTHING!
maybe this is the thoughts of a robotics enthusiast but what if one of the handy men were to become aware? or would this be along the same premise as the monsters?
Skeletal-Undead I don't think the Matriarch would provide the processing power for that. I imagine them to be extentions of her will rather than soldiers following orders
they have antennas on theire heads. that means, that they are likely connected to the hivemind and controlled by it, like the other commenter alredy pointed out.
You EARNED this support. Especially with behind the scenes content, we need more of those videos from TH-cam channels, it lets them make more content while informing the viewer. I love this.
This video has themes from "1984" George Orwell, "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut 1) 1984 is about the fictional dystopian society of Oceania where all free though is punished with death and torture and you are constantly watched by government. Plus all citizens must watch constant false propaganda from the ministry of Truth. The main difference is that there is no constant warfare or extreme poverty even among the Upper class factory Owners and intellectuals there are little to eat and few consumer goods. 2) The Giver it is about a society who runs on the philosophy of Sameness. Everyone has to dress the same, live in the same house, own the same things, and there can be no originality. The main difference is some how all memories of the outside world have been sucked into one man the Giver and they kill old people and underdeveloped babies by lethal injection. 3) Harrison Bergeron is about a fiction America where all people are equally competent by law and the talented people must where handicaps to prevent inequality. Strong people where weights to weaken them. Pretty people wear ugly masks to no make less people feel ugly. Smart people get there brain wiped so no one feels stupid. The similarity is that exceptional people who are talented is prevented from using the talent because society is afraid of them. 4) The Ugglies in its social division between Pretties and Ugglies and the fact government controls them. The difference is the age hierarchies "1st) The Littles 2nd) The Ugglies 3rd) The New Pretties 4th) The Middle Pretties 5th) The Late Pretties #Plus the Specials which is Optional. Plus the freedom of the Ugglies is also a difference
The way you create and your creations themselves are brilliant! Watching your shorts is just incredible but watching the behind the scenes is mind-blowing! I'm so very happy I found your channel
You work so hard and put so much detail into this Dystopia, your art is so unique and well made too. I feel like more people should know about you and the amazing work you do.
I wonder if there are some "exceptional" people who made if out what if the "monsters" aren't monsters they actually are scared of the robots I have a idea of someone who made it out and seeing one of the monsters curious they follow it and then they realize that it is scared and Calms the monster down showing that they aren't there to hurt them.. I can imagine that they feel like one in the same being cast aside because they are both scared because they are different I would love that idea of someone alone with a giant monster.. I wonder if there is something out there besides what we have seen maybe a failed Utopia maybe hundreds of failed Utopias and this is another try I'm just sharing my ideas these behind the scenes stuff are probably my favorite videos keep up the fantastic work!
I’d like to thank you for creating all this, I doing a drama project in school of which we have a to create a 14 minute dystopian piece. The piece is HEAVILY influenced but your work and I would like to thank you for it .
You need to make more of this! It's so amazing how your work blends together in a creepy, interesting, and amazing way! I would love to see more of this dystopia!
I fell in love with your shorts and I love and aprecciate this kind of making of: talking abaout the story, it's origins and even the techincal part of how it was made. Absolutely gorgeus!
Yo I love this dudes voice. When he gets into the darker bits he knows how to stress his words to make it have a different impact and and I just generally love his way of talking and his accent is nice too.
I think your world, I think has given me some inspiration for my d&d campaign. I already love this series, it always has my head buzzing with ideas. Thank you.
"The penis tower" I KNEW IT! Btw, these shorts absolutely make any week that I happen to be lucky enough to stumble upon them on. I just need so much of this worlds lore, it's fascinating.
I love the world you have crafted, you are an inspiration. The machine logic of your world is amazing, how it’s voluntary, you tell more story in a couple of minutes more than a two hour blockbuster.
It's really interesting to see the thought process and ideas behind your animations. You clearly put a lot of time and effort into your work and it's really cool to see it.
The Sun's Sky Finally someone who is thinking the same question. What if someone has a quality that makes them "ugly" but is also intelligent and creative, making them "exceptional"? Perhaps Part 3 might introduce someone like this.
EmMuffinDraws I was thinking that as well. Why would she have even been included in the first video if she didn't have a larger role later on. Plus, the boy and girl do not wear masks. Because they aren't pretties or uglies. While the boy is exceptional, the girl is truly special. In fact, I think that they will be labeled "specials" and something truly awful happens to them
EmMuffinDraws I've noticed that there are two kinds of robots. There are the handyman/humaonoid robots, who have malicious intentions, and there are the large tank like robots who don't do much. What if the specials are turned into these robots, to endlessly roam around in loneliness for all eternity?
I wonder how schools look like in this world - what can you teach to children so they stay brainwashed with tunnel vision and don't have individual thoughts? And how do they manage to kill the creativity out of children?
I don't have a specific answer to your question, but the general answer is: the same thing you taught their parents. Remember, we've seen only three generations of Autodale citizens and have no idea how long this has been going on or how long robots last. Those questions would tell us how much practice the robots have at spotting exceptional children and catering to them enough to keep them from running away. Consider in 'Children's Toys', a robot has exactly the right answer to calm a child that has noticed blood splatters on it. So, enough time has passed to have this down.
I’m imagining ACE curriculum-type stuff, just on a broader scale. It’s a Christian curriculum designed for churches to run their own private schools to keep kids away from the “corrupting” influence of public schools, and takes inspiration from a typical 50’s era office environment. Kids work alone, in their own cubicles, with no teachers to help and the books are as devoid of any kind of creativity as I can even imagine. Comics are interspersed throughout, giving supportive messages to their ideology such as the benefits of women’s submissiveness to men, the ideal dress length for a small girl, a parent stating that “we always feel good when we obey”, etc. I can’t imagine anything more suited to Autodale.
I freaking love your animations and your sketchbook/process videos like this one. Getting greater insight to this awesome world, as unawesome as it would be in reality, it amazing! I know it really gets ME feeling creative! :D
Your explanation of the forced perspectives and how you blend 3D with 2D images really helped open my eyes on how to fix some issues I faced. I absolutely love with Orwellian nightmare of a world you have created. I hope I too can make something this well done and thought out. The imagery and unspoken message is delivered so well! I can't say enough on how much these shorts have helped me pan out some ideas and break through issues that had me stuck.
Your process is beautiful. You can tell that you put sooo much time and love into this. This is so flipping wonderful hearing your explanation as when I watched the animation I was shook. It actually moved me. Great work.
(Sorry for the wall of text in advance) I really like this Distopian reality, and that it does point out the flaws of what the American dream was. It also is amazing to me that you have slightly influenced one of my drawings. The statements of all of these creations, the what-if factor about them, truly draws me closer to the world and prompts me to truly stop and think about the world. I do have my interpretations of things, but I believe that no one really wants to hear them, so that will stay in the dark, but I am really glad that I have found this and seen the animations since it has definitely made me think.
I absolutely adore your animations in every way and the behind the scenes stuff! I know it takes forever to finish these but I cannot wait for your next animation
My next animation will be something completely different. More Utopian than Dystopian. But I do think I'll probably return to this series for at-least a 3rd animation. It's too much fun to make these! ^_^
Dead Sound I have a question. What if someone has a quality that makes them "ugly", i.e. homosexual or physically deformed, but is also very intelligent and creative, making them "exceptional"?
Dude literally just now watching this and boy have i been missing out you are a straight artist and never stop I am going to watch everyone of your videos these are truly awe inspiring and I wish I had your talents man stay blessed and stay on it. I bet this is hard work too! Don't ever get discouraged! This is phenomenal and I can't wait to see what else you create man!
Only question is, in a world that is perfectly run by a flawed system, what work is there for a human to do? “The father works”, what is his occupation?
So amazing. I have no other words. I would love a part three, but if you think that the story should end here, I would accept it since there was nothing lacking. The pride you take in your work is "exceptional" 😁
This story explains the animation process but more importantly the ideas behind the story and what inspired it Every Dictatorship based Dystopia has 3 groups: 1) The orthodox who obeys society and fits their roles 2) The government who rules over society and make unfair rules 3) The rebellious who try to change society But not every dystopia has these two Groups of People: 1) The failures who try to obey society but can't because they have blizzard desires to break rules or a weaknesses making them useless to the dictators that are to hard to change 2) The Pre-revolutionaries that are always watched. They obey the system but are more likely than the main orthodox or even the failures to have a successful rebellion because they are conscious things are wrong but more important they are powerfully smart enough to outwit the system or have political power to lead the people against them. It takes organization to run an army, persuasion skills to lead people to war, economic skills so your new government does not collapse financially and allow a counter revolution to come to power Counter Revolution: When Revolutionary Rebels Throw a Revolution against Revolutionary Rebels who started the original Revolution against the Government groups both hated because of disagreements on how the new society should be

What about his sister? What does the boy's sister think of the system?
He might of also said something to her which could of got the gears turning.
I can't really speak for the creator, but I believe she is just pretty. But maybe another sequal will prove me wrong :)
I wonder what the boy would do if she was, oh, how to say... became ugly?

Uglies are either “Model Citizens” who have fulfilled their purpose; or those who are different, queer, and the considered failures of Autodale.
they grew up to be food for the wood Godess
I think maybe it's because they don't have as much blood (or whatever is harvested for the matriarch) as children so they let them grow up a bit before sacrificing them
The other replies are good theories, but my headcannon is that Dead Sound was just more disturbed by the idea of children being killed, so he doesnt show it
How fitting that the assimilated woman is a hybrid of human and machine as well as 2d and 3d images.

Why not make a survival horror game in which you play as an exceptional and the only way to survive is to be different and creative with survival and avoiding monsters.
Jaybee Bartolome sounds like an even cooler version of epic mickey
I actually know a few games like that. They're called Limbo and Inside, and they're both made by PlayDead.

I'm hoping that the autodale thing becomes a movie it looks so amazing!!
Yes this would be a great movie plot. The movie would probably follow multiple exceptional people that are trying to take the system down.
If you made a book with your sketches and notes telling how to make an awesome dystopia, I would definitely buy it

7:50 "quick little drawing" shows a disconnected head casually when you can only draw spaceships and birds quickly.
I absolutely/love/ these shorts. The thumping heart of the assimilation scene in No Monsters is so powerful and effective. It's... Exceptional.

You should turn this into game
WE happy few is the closest you'll get to a game of this
I agree to
Chicken0w0 For some reason it also reminds me of papers please, but I agree there is a very obvious correlation to We Happy Few. :)
i know how to model the building human body
No a book or sad film
i LOVE hearing your process, your way of thinking. the way you talk about your ideas and the way you talk of the thoughts that lead up to them... you can tell that you’re just an insanely clever dude! i’m genuinely awestruck by everything you create. i just wanted to thank you for sharing these videos with us! they’re obviously very personal and i think it’s real special to be allowed into your mind for a bit, so to speak!
I feel.... that a true AI wouldn't think this is a perfect society unless they were specifically programmed to do so. which means someone wanted that to happen. I dunno, maybe I overestimate AI, but this is a weird conclusion for an AI to come to. I love your art, it's so beautiful
Yeah, you are right, because of our creativity we can create lots of things that it will be useful to that AI
Just another maximizer went wrong. Although I do wonder what does it maximise. May be it maximises dystopia.
If it was an AI it most definitely wasn't tasked with the perfect society. At least from our perspective, it seems like it was tasked with the perfect human cycle or the most robot like humans.
Unless of course this machine truly has no understanding of human rights in which case, yep this is accurate. If you told an AI that didn't understand your intention or rights take you happy, it might just tie you to a chair and drug you.
Your Dystopia series is the first series of yours that I have watched so far and I absolutely love it! I love the story concept, the artwork, EVERYTHING!
maybe this is the thoughts of a robotics enthusiast but what if one of the handy men were to become aware? or would this be along the same premise as the monsters?
Skeletal-Undead I don't think the Matriarch would provide the processing power for that. I imagine them to be extentions of her will rather than soldiers following orders
they have antennas on theire heads. that means, that they are likely connected to the hivemind and controlled by it, like the other commenter alredy pointed out.
You EARNED this support. Especially with behind the scenes content, we need more of those videos from TH-cam channels, it lets them make more content while informing the viewer. I love this.
This video has themes from "1984" George Orwell, "The Giver" by Lois Lowry, "Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut
1) 1984 is about the fictional dystopian society of Oceania where all free though is punished with death and torture and you are constantly watched by government. Plus all citizens must watch constant false propaganda from the ministry of Truth. The main difference is that there is no constant warfare or extreme poverty even among the Upper class factory Owners and intellectuals there are little to eat and few consumer goods.
2) The Giver it is about a society who runs on the philosophy of Sameness. Everyone has to dress the same, live in the same house, own the same things, and there can be no originality. The main difference is some how all memories of the outside world have been sucked into one man the Giver and they kill old people and underdeveloped babies by lethal injection.
3) Harrison Bergeron is about a fiction America where all people are equally competent by law and the talented people must where handicaps to prevent inequality. Strong people where weights to weaken them. Pretty people wear ugly masks to no make less people feel ugly. Smart people get there brain wiped so no one feels stupid. The similarity is that exceptional people who are talented is prevented from using the talent because society is afraid of them.
4) The Ugglies in its social division between Pretties and Ugglies and the fact government controls them. The difference is the age hierarchies "1st) The Littles 2nd) The Ugglies 3rd) The New Pretties 4th) The Middle Pretties 5th) The Late Pretties #Plus the Specials which is Optional. Plus the freedom of the Ugglies is also a difference
The way you create and your creations themselves are brilliant! Watching your shorts is just incredible but watching the behind the scenes is mind-blowing! I'm so very happy I found your channel
HOW DO YOU HAVE SO MUCH AWESOMENESS STUFFED INSIDE YOU!!! Not knowing what happens next is killing me!!!
Your shorts really gave me Unwind feels, it may just be the dystopian of it, but seeing the exceptional woman's organs really drove this feeling on.
You work so hard and put so much detail into this Dystopia, your art is so unique and well made too. I feel like more people should know about you and the amazing work you do.
I really enjoy seeing the pages of your sketchbook and what you make based off of your little series.
They're very asthetically pleasing in my opinon.
*"Big scaly kangaroos"*
I wonder if there are some "exceptional" people who made if out
what if the "monsters" aren't monsters they actually are scared of the robots
I have a idea of someone who made it out and seeing one of the monsters curious they follow it and then they realize that it is scared and Calms the monster down showing that they aren't there to hurt them.. I can imagine that they feel like one in the same being cast aside because they are both scared because they are different I would love that idea of someone alone with a giant monster..
I wonder if there is something out there besides what we have seen maybe a failed Utopia maybe hundreds of failed Utopias and this is another try
I'm just sharing my ideas these behind the scenes stuff are probably my favorite videos keep up the fantastic work!
I don't understand why you still haven't become famous. So much potential.
3:32
So he ADMITS that was what it looks like
I can't wait for your next upload, all of your artwork and concepts are truly... Exceptional.
Lol u right
by far one of the most impacting and brilliantly thought out animated shorts ive EVER seen!
It's so fascinating hearing your thoughts process and the amount of concept work that was put to be done, I'm falling in love all over again :'D
I absolutely love these Dystopia animations and behind the scenes. It's how I found this channel. Can't wait to see what else you create!
I’d like to thank you for creating all this, I doing a drama project in school of which we have a to create a 14 minute dystopian piece. The piece is HEAVILY influenced but your work and I would like to thank you for it .
You need to make more of this! It's so amazing how your work blends together in a creepy, interesting, and amazing way! I would love to see more of this dystopia!
Oh
I'm early
Ha
I absolutely love this dystopia!
It's so great, and SOO unsettling.
You did an absolutely great job.
I fell in love with your shorts and I love and aprecciate this kind of making of: talking abaout the story, it's origins and even the techincal part of how it was made. Absolutely gorgeus!
“This is actually a boy”
X - Doubt
Yo I love this dudes voice. When he gets into the darker bits he knows how to stress his words to make it have a different impact and and I just generally love his way of talking and his accent is nice too.
You sir, are a fantastic artist and creator. Thank you so much for giving it to us.
I think your world, I think has given me some inspiration for my d&d campaign. I already love this series, it always has my head buzzing with ideas. Thank you.
"The penis tower"
I KNEW IT!
Btw, these shorts absolutely make any week that I happen to be lucky enough to stumble upon them on. I just need so much of this worlds lore, it's fascinating.
I love coming back to Autodale after watching Sauria, it’s so cool to see how you’ve improved
My favorite thing about the Autodale series is it’s all in black and white except the blood. It really creates a lot of contrast
I love the world you have crafted, you are an inspiration. The machine logic of your world is amazing, how it’s voluntary, you tell more story in a couple of minutes more than a two hour blockbuster.
This was great..I hope there will be more..please ^_^
It's really interesting to see the thought process and ideas behind your animations. You clearly put a lot of time and effort into your work and it's really cool to see it.
Whoever disliked this can...
GO TO FRICKEN AUTODALE (have fun , hope ur PRETHY)
Lmao.
im going to use autodale as gulag 2
Too bad, they're ugly. Time for them to go to the ugly holes
Love both the shorts so much! Just came up on my recommended and I’m glad they did
Really tho you need more subs for how much work you put into this stuff.
This world you created is truly brilliant! I look forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future.
3:43 I had to replay this part a few times to make sure that I heard correctly.
Love this video..... you're really creative...love how it parallels the world we live in
Wait... would you have to be pretty to be exceptional or could you still be ugly???
The Sun's Sky Finally someone who is thinking the same question. What if someone has a quality that makes them "ugly" but is also intelligent and creative, making them "exceptional"? Perhaps Part 3 might introduce someone like this.
Anonymous12 Ten bucks says that it's the sister is somehow "ugly" but also talented and creative
EmMuffinDraws I was thinking that as well. Why would she have even been included in the first video if she didn't have a larger role later on. Plus, the boy and girl do not wear masks. Because they aren't pretties or uglies. While the boy is exceptional, the girl is truly special. In fact, I think that they will be labeled "specials" and something truly awful happens to them
Anonymous12 You thought more in depth than I did.... XD but I am interested to see what he does with the kids and what happens to them
EmMuffinDraws I've noticed that there are two kinds of robots. There are the handyman/humaonoid robots, who have malicious intentions, and there are the large tank like robots who don't do much. What if the specials are turned into these robots, to endlessly roam around in loneliness for all eternity?
everything from your process to your final works is amazing, fresh, different and captivating. please keep going
I wonder how schools look like in this world - what can you teach to children so they stay brainwashed with tunnel vision and don't have individual thoughts? And how do they manage to kill the creativity out of children?
I don't have a specific answer to your question, but the general answer is: the same thing you taught their parents. Remember, we've seen only three generations of Autodale citizens and have no idea how long this has been going on or how long robots last. Those questions would tell us how much practice the robots have at spotting exceptional children and catering to them enough to keep them from running away. Consider in 'Children's Toys', a robot has exactly the right answer to calm a child that has noticed blood splatters on it. So, enough time has passed to have this down.
I’m imagining ACE curriculum-type stuff, just on a broader scale. It’s a Christian curriculum designed for churches to run their own private schools to keep kids away from the “corrupting” influence of public schools, and takes inspiration from a typical 50’s era office environment. Kids work alone, in their own cubicles, with no teachers to help and the books are as devoid of any kind of creativity as I can even imagine. Comics are interspersed throughout, giving supportive messages to their ideology such as the benefits of women’s submissiveness to men, the ideal dress length for a small girl, a parent stating that “we always feel good when we obey”, etc. I can’t imagine anything more suited to Autodale.
I freaking love your animations and your sketchbook/process videos like this one. Getting greater insight to this awesome world, as unawesome as it would be in reality, it amazing! I know it really gets ME feeling creative! :D
The explaining of the pretties , uglies and exceptional is my greatest fear and nightmare not being free
Your explanation of the forced perspectives and how you blend 3D with 2D images really helped open my eyes on how to fix some issues I faced. I absolutely love with Orwellian nightmare of a world you have created. I hope I too can make something this well done and thought out. The imagery and unspoken message is delivered so well! I can't say enough on how much these shorts have helped me pan out some ideas and break through issues that had me stuck.
Your work is amazing! :D
Your process is beautiful. You can tell that you put sooo much time and love into this. This is so flipping wonderful hearing your explanation as when I watched the animation I was shook. It actually moved me. Great work.
I freaking love peanut butter and jelly! Also your videos are awesome. Keep em comin
(Sorry for the wall of text in advance) I really like this Distopian reality, and that it does point out the flaws of what the American dream was. It also is amazing to me that you have slightly influenced one of my drawings. The statements of all of these creations, the what-if factor about them, truly draws me closer to the world and prompts me to truly stop and think about the world. I do have my interpretations of things, but I believe that no one really wants to hear them, so that will stay in the dark, but I am really glad that I have found this and seen the animations since it has definitely made me think.
You are exceptionally talented
This has to be the most deep story ever. I gotta say. This is the best work I've seen. Keep it up
This handman in the beginning is one that died in “friendly shadow”
I absolutely adore your animations in every way and the behind the scenes stuff! I know it takes forever to finish these but I cannot wait for your next animation
Video:*starts*
Me:DAMN THAT ACCENT THOUGH
Ngl the way your sketchbook is structured/organized is very pleasing and nice to look at
Will there be part three? Also I really want this to be a show on TV!
My next animation will be something completely different. More Utopian than Dystopian.
But I do think I'll probably return to this series for at-least a 3rd animation. It's too much fun to make these! ^_^
Dead Sound Okay now I'm super excited!
also my little brother wants to know what happens to the exceptionals
Dead Sound I have a question. What if someone has a quality that makes them "ugly", i.e. homosexual or physically deformed, but is also very intelligent and creative, making them "exceptional"?
Dude literally just now watching this and boy have i been missing out you are a straight artist and never stop I am going to watch everyone of your videos these are truly awe inspiring and I wish I had your talents man stay blessed and stay on it. I bet this is hard work too! Don't ever get discouraged! This is phenomenal and I can't wait to see what else you create man!
Only question is, in a world that is perfectly run by a flawed system, what work is there for a human to do?
“The father works”, what is his occupation?
So amazing. I have no other words. I would love a part three, but if you think that the story should end here, I would accept it since there was nothing lacking. The pride you take in your work is "exceptional" 😁
This story explains the animation process but more importantly the ideas behind the story and what inspired it
Every Dictatorship based Dystopia has 3 groups:
1) The orthodox who obeys society and fits their roles
2) The government who rules over society and make unfair rules
3) The rebellious who try to change society
But not every dystopia has these two Groups of People:
1) The failures who try to obey society but can't because they have blizzard desires to break rules or a weaknesses making them useless to the dictators that are to hard to change
2) The Pre-revolutionaries that are always watched. They obey the system but are more likely than the main orthodox or even the failures to have a successful rebellion because they are conscious things are wrong but more important they are powerfully smart enough to outwit the system or have political power to lead the people against them.
It takes organization to run an army, persuasion skills to lead people to war, economic skills so your new government does not collapse financially and allow a counter revolution to come to power
Counter Revolution: When Revolutionary Rebels Throw a Revolution against Revolutionary Rebels who started the original Revolution against the Government groups both hated because of disagreements on how the new society should be
I love the depth you put into your animation and the storytelling. Keep up the great work
