Night of the Crash Test Dummies.mp4

The visuals for this video were created entirely in Blender 3D, from scratch, in January - March 2009.
I did the 3D animation and rendering, Ben Hansen did the voices and ripped the music - so don't ask me where its from! It took a total of around 300 hours to render, using between 1 and 3 computers (depending on when I could get my hands on them). Credit goes to Gary Larson and his hilarious Far-Side cartoon!
Enjoy and comment :)

Review: "Night of the Crash Test Dummies.mp4" - A Chilling, Blender-Made Masterpiece
"Night of the Crash Test Dummies.mp4" is a short horror film that stands out not only for its creative premise but also for its technical execution using Blender. This film explores a haunting, darkly ironic twist on the classic idea of crash test dummies, turning them from mere tools into vengeful entities with a spine-chilling agenda.
The film starts innocuously, introducing the inventor of these test dummies as a slightly arrogant, unsuspecting figure. He’s portrayed as someone who sees the dummies as disposable objects, entirely unaware of the chaos that’s about to unfold. The tension begins to build early on with the subtle, eerie animation of the dummies - their lifeless plastic faces suddenly become disturbingly menacing.
The turning point of the story comes when the inventor is overpowered by his own creations. The suspenseful pacing of this scene is brilliant; the dummies silently place him in the driver’s seat of a car, showcasing a slow, deliberate shift in control. As the car speeds toward a wall of toxic waste, the animation captures the sheer terror of the inventor, with detailed lighting and sound design enhancing the urgency and horror of the moment.
What makes "Night of the Crash Test Dummies.mp4" even more effective is its clever use of dream logic. After the horrifying crash, the protagonist wakes up in a cold sweat, believing it was all just a nightmare. The film toys with audience expectations here, lulling viewers into a false sense of security. But just as the tension seems to dissipate, the final twist delivers a powerful, gut-punch realization that it wasn’t merely a dream. The visual cue-a small, overlooked detail from the dream appearing in his real-life surroundings-gives the ending a chilling permanence.
The artistry of this short is remarkable. The Blender animation is fluid, polished, and adds an eerie realism to the otherwise uncanny test dummies. The sound design, particularly the grinding metal and creaking plastic, enhances the tension to an almost unbearable degree, while the use of dim, industrial lighting gives the entire film an unnerving, dystopian atmosphere.
Overall, "Night of the Crash Test Dummies.mp4" is a short horror film that excels in both concept and execution. It brilliantly combines suspense, irony, and horror, turning a seemingly absurd premise into a nightmarish experience. The film’s effective use of Blender as an animation tool demonstrates the impressive possibilities of 3D animation in the horror genre, and its surprising, bone-chilling ending ensures that it lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
A must-watch for horror and animation enthusiasts alike, this film is a terrifying reminder that even the most inanimate objects can hold a grudge.
5 Stars *****

beees in the trap by nicki minaj is a generational defining piece of art that would shape the world of music to come for decades. UGH. NOBODY understands what sgoing on in my brain. Its like there are little CRASH TEST DUMMIES. rolling arounnd and playing slightly promiscuous rugby matches. Plus there is a lot of cheese sort of just available on all these separate tables that bordered this sort of... Evenet? Anyway, I should get back to EDGING. I couldnt resist unloading onto my phone screen when i heard the horror sound effect that kind of sounded like the call of the Pokemon Kriketune, but only a little bit. ITS HERE AGAIN THAT WRETCHED SOUND.. But beyond what I was about to confess of Elzibath. She doesnt matter as much as my friends who matter more because they like furry hentai.

[@ImAleXD]

I didn't like the 2:50 part at all.
It could have been much better.
If you really wanted for it to scare effectively, you should have let it appear suddenly, and not gradually.
And the background music should have bee on its highest, like in the last part.
