@@Крщенебудуказати I don’t think it’s a human, because even the butchers aren’t human.They are probably war robots who were built by humans, then took over. Maybe the birds were too.
@@limetime1285 Or maybe the creator didnt have any time to make the details of the human body and face and just went with that look. Or its just a whole different reality in the creators imagination
This is astounding. I can't think of anything to say. I don't think I've seen a better stop motion video when I consider craft, aesthetic, writing, and atmosphere. And believe me, I've seen more than my fair share.
I'm speechless. This is a terribly underrated youtuber but I'm not entirely sure whether I want him to go too much mainstream or not. The first video i saw was one of Dabchick's and obviously loved it immediately but every next video I watch surprises me with his unlimited and diverse talent even more. He has an amazing sense of humor: naughty, dark or childishly funny'; Although some of the videos are deep and emotional life experiences; his puppets are amazingly made and the movements he creates are so lifelike it's unbelievable; he's an amazing narrator with deep voice and an amazing singer with soft soothing one. And after all this the only thing I was not expecting was this creepy, dark side of Barnaby to exist. And I love it so much. The motion, the light, the sound, the puppets and the vibe, atmosphere is so good. Gosh :D I went on for too long but anyway, I wish this guy all the best, he deserves world.
There's such a great sense of chilling atmosphere and grim nuance to this short piece. I really like how none of the characters act clearly good or bad, they just have different actions that collide with each other and that have unintended consequences. Really excellent work, I'd love to see more like this!
Probably used to be 2000 views before the "New Puppet Concept" came out. Now the influx of viewers from that video is bringing all the guy's videos from the hundred view count to the thousand view count.
The almost complete silence adds to the mood and its scary yet delightful to watch. Thank you for being such a great person and blessing everyone with these types of things Dixon. We love you and appreciate all the work youve put into your puppets, stories, songs, and even this. Thank you.
Holy shit, this is incredible! Some of the most skilled stop-motion animation I've ever seen. I loved how emotive the characters were without ever changing facial expressions.
I discovered this video two years ago and loved every part of it, and I just stumbled upon it again and enjoyed it just like the first time. The amount of world building, character, cool aesthetic look and expressiveness in general that are here in just 10 minutes is simply amazing.
Can someone tell me how to find more stuff but same like this,"robotic" characters,spooky and dark,same level of quality?This is some next level shit fam
The bird movement was consistently great and there some really stand out moments with the 'humans' as well, particularly whenever you had them kneeling or laying about. Essentially anything that isolated the upper body looked gorgeous- like when bird hater returns from the pillaged fish room and just puts his head in his hands. The feet on the men felt just a teensy bit unstable or at least compared to how gorgeously fluid that bird moved. Several really nice cut/transition sequences in there as well (Door swinging open shut open shut, fish bag 'falling on the camera'). Anyway Im fuckin jealous. I wish i had talent.
The story: What I like to call the characters: •Eskos the flying bird thing •Hater, the worker who hates Eskos •Admirer, the one who is merciful Okay, so it all starts off when Hater and Admirer arrive to work, doing their daily routine. Hater is first to come in, and gets all of the fish ready to do the butchering. They apparently both sell it, but Admirer and Hater have a big problem. Eskos. Eskosmseems to thrive on fish, and of course, the easiest place to get it is Admirer and Hater's factory. Admirer arrives, and is ready to set up. When he is finished, Hater removes the wrapping from the fish, but it releases a loud screech. Hater and Admirer are both very sensitive to sound, most likely because of the metal on the back of their heads, and body. Hater quickly kills it, and both set to work. Unfortunately, Eskos hears the screech, and quickly flies over, expecting a nice meal. He lands on the roof, expecting it to be there, but instead, he finds nothing. Using a special call that may lure in fish, he sits on the roof and waits. Hater gets angry when he hears the calling, for he cannot work in such noise. He also cannot risk Eskos getting in and eating the rare fish again. Grabbing a gun, he gets ready to shoot Eskos, who is unaware. Admirer, fearing for Eskos life, makes a loud bang on the metal, making Eskos fly away and Hater dizzy. Hater gets mad, and throws the hatchet on the ground, leaving Admirer to do all the work himself. Admirer sits in silence as he finishes, and then leaves for home. Eskos, remembering the bang, flies back to the factory, and finds a way in. He falls, stunned, and stands up in the unfamiliar room. Then, smelling his meal, goes into the back room to feast. Eskos eventually finishes all of it, and falls asleep under the wrapping, most likely because of the cold. The next day, Admirer is first to show up, and notices the broken chimney. Cursing to himself that he didn't let Hater kill Eskos, he ignores it until he hears Eskos inside the freezer. Arming himself, knowing he is a wild animal, he goes inside, gun pointed. Nothing is there, except all of the frozen fish's guts spilled all over the floor, including blood. Admirer, you knowing he is merciful, begins to get sick, and steps out, cursing himself again at the table. He knows Hater is going to be angry. Hater arrives, seeing Admirer, confused as on why he is upset. He then finds out when he steps into the freezer. Getting mad at Admirer for not letting him kill Eskos, he throws a fish head at the wall, waking Eskos. Eskos suprises Hater, and hides while Hater reaches for the gun. Eskos distracts him, and runs out. Admirer, also fueled by rage, traps Eskos succesfully. Hater is about to shoot him when he notices ammo is gone. Reaching for a spear, Admirer stops him from killing the innocent Eskos. Hater, raging, knocks Admirer out, and goes for Eskos. He is so deeply in rage to get Eskos, he slips off, dropping the hatchet, causing him to lose his hand. Eskos escapes through the hole in the ceiling, and Hater's dripping blood wakes Admirer. Admirer is shocked, wondering if Eskos did this. He helps Hater, and they both head home. Before going though, Admirer looks around the room, looking at the damage Eskos did once again. Will he ever kill Eskos, to keep the business going? Or will he keep him alive, out of the goodness of his heart? Hope you liked it! 😊😊😊
What really surprised me about this is how damn good the cinematography is for a stop motion film. Usually that is well overlooked and here it is damn fantastic. Nice work.
I am 54 and quite a jaded movie goer. I love stop motion and puppetry but I am still jaded. (I think I am the only person alive who didn’t cry during Ghost). I got so invested in this wonderful creation that I gasped aloud when the person trying to kill the bird got his hand cut off. THIS IS STUNNING!!! Thank you for sharing your art.
As obscure as this reference might be, what comes to my mind while watching this is the ‘postlude’ part of the memoirs* (p.245+) of the wife of a certain theologian (‘From time to time’ by Hannah Tillich), where there is this apparently metaphorical conversation btw her and a shopkeeper in a store full of puppets which represent certain phases of her life before the shopkeeper guides her to a mysterious door somewhat representing a different phase of her life, before she disappears by the time he finishes explaining it; a part of me feels bold enough to say that if I ‘had uber-cash to spare’ I’d commission Barnaby to do an animated take from that book. *she would still live for ~15+ years after that book came out during the early 70’s *This* sssoo corresponds to the kind of cryptic-ness I felt from that melancholically puzzling memoir. The only other kinds of animation which could ‘match’ to that part of that book in my mind would be something experimental and ‘dark’ entries from the ‘National film board of Canada’ or when ‘Final fantasy’ series illustrator Yoshitaka Amano worked on ‘Angel egg’.
It's actually delicious, well of course if ya had cooked it properly. For example, the fish head curry at Penang, Malaysia is truly a must if ya are going here !
Found your channel today from The Great Big Story channel and I've honestly made the best decision to subscribe and watch all of your amazing creations.
Wow! I really love dabchick, but this just blew me away! I love how much emotion you captured without any mimic expressions or speech. And how the camera shifts it's focus like in a "normal" movie. I can't remember seeing that in a stop-motion film. And I really enjoy the robotic look of the characters and the creepy warehouse situation. Oh man I guess I'm gonna watch it again right away! You are a true artist! Thanks for sharing it with us :)
Hmm, bear with me, but I'm going to try and offer my own interpretation. I don't mean to imply that other interpretations are invalid, or that there is any singular right way to interpret it, I merely see it this way. The bird represents the problems in life. The bird, while annoying, is easily deterred by a simple, nonviolent method. While this is not a permanent solution, it is effective nonetheless. This represents how even if life has those permanent, nagging problems, they can always be solved. But the first automaton wants to kill the bird, a permanent and relatively extreme solution. The problem bird then comes back late at night, possibly angered by the threats of violence. It then proceeds to destroy the automatons' food supply, which represents life. This shows how violence can only lead to worse violence. This is further demonstrated in the battle between the automatons and the bird. The first automaton insists on using violence, which only ends up causing his friend to get hurt, and for his hand to be severed, while the bird escapes. Ultimately, this film represents how solving problems with violence will only lead to harm upon those that deal damage to others in the first place. I encourage others to commentate, critique and offer their own interpretations. Overall, I believe this a wonderful animation with a unique aesthetic and tone, and that more people should witness its uncanny beauty.
I like your interpretation, but I would like to comment about it - always in a constructive way. Let's take the bird as the problems in life. The first automaton decides to take action and solve the problem, while the second one prefers to go for a temporary and useless solution. The bird does not come back to destroy the humans supply, but for the same reason that it came on the first time: food. The bird comes back for feeding, so the temporary solution only postponed the problem, which will come back in the future in an inappropriate moment to deal with it. Still, they will have to face the problem once again, after getting more complex than it was, since now aside from it, the lost they food as well. So the firs automaton decides to deal with the problem while the second one decides to again, be passive and search for a temporary solution. It leads to a conflict, and as a snowball, the problem not only does not disappear, but it creates new problems. It goes so far that it lead to real injuries that might no be possible to solve. Yet the main problem, still not resolve, and it might come back again. So from this point of view, the film represents how not dealing with the problems in an appropriate way, facing them and do what it needs to be done, will end up harming yourself and others. I don't take the fact of shooting the bird as a radical action or a violent one, but as a hard thing to do, like breaking up with someone, or go to the doctor to check that strange black dot on your arm. About the animation, is really awesome!
It's funny, I am 15 right now and I remember watching this way before. I remember, specifically, the part where the guy picks up the fish head. Strange isn't it? How nostalgia and memory works.
This is...amazing.And this is Stop-motion!Stop motion,Carl!So many little details. Cool crazy style.I can't imagine,how hard was to do it.You're awesome!!!
I have never wanted a stop animated robot bird to die more than I did watching that. That bar is set pretty low. I think it is the first stop animated robot bird I've come across. But I wanted it to die. The simplicity of the story had my imagination reeling as to what else was going on in this world. I felt like the dry aging of the fish or whatever they were doing was really important to their survival. And that maybe "life" has become a very rare thing in this world. The partner knew that and thought the bird was precious because of how rare it was, just being a living creature. He doesn't have the same empathy for fish. They live in an unknown world that they can't go to. But a bird is up there with them. The butcher knew their would be consequences to letting it live. The consequences were greater than he thought. As a butcher, he needed his hands. I could write a whole essay on the world that developed in my head. Beautiful video. I dunno why exactly, but this really struck a chord with me.
Wow, this is incredible! I just found out about you through ThinkerCon (great demo during Festival of the Spoken Nerd, btw) and I'm really enjoying watching through your stuff.
I just wanted to say I've been going through and watching all your videos and I am absolutely blown away! You are so talented and deserve so much more recognition that you get! Anyway have a awesome day!!
Coming back to this on Halloween, because it scratches a freaky itch that nothing else I've found quite does. Amazing work, Barnaby! Keeps me still coming back after so much time as passed since it originally haunted my adolescent nightmares.
Omfg this was amazing. I love how weird and twisted it was!! As cool as your puppets are I wish you still did stop animation. Your style is everything!!!! ❤️
This was the first thing I ever saw of his. I was 12 and it freaked me out, didn’t see more of his stuff until my sister showed me dabchick years later. Imagine my whiplash to rediscover this
That was just incredible. Seeing these guys go about their inconceivable, deranged job like it's just another day is an absolute joy, and I love how you managed to give these expressionless, featureless armatures their own distinct personalities that set them apart from each other even though they're physically the same. Really just a fantastic job all around, and a huge inspiration to boot. This deserves way more love than is has. Side note: The camera focus changes (like the ones that occur at 2:52 and 6:57) are really cool effects that must be pretty tricky to pull off in stop motion (if that even is how this is animated). How did you do it?
i love the dystopian, robotic, abandoned feeling i get from this and personally i would LOVE to see more of this universe
It kinda reminds me of liminal space horror just because of the empty feeling of it
you should watch the movie "mad god" that came out last year
Far too little attention has been paid to this awesome animation.

Amazing. So much tension, and yet no music. That's a craft I greatly respect.
What did I just watch?
A. A horrifying animation
B. An amazing piece of art work
D. Both
The answer is both
Yo what about c
@@theresasassthetician8935 Hol up
I am 54 and quite a jaded movie goer. I love stop motion and puppetry but I am still jaded. (I think I am the only person alive who didn’t cry during Ghost). I got so invested in this wonderful creation that I gasped aloud when the person trying to kill the bird got his hand cut off.
THIS IS STUNNING!!! Thank you for sharing your art.
I wanna learn how to do something like this, it was really cool
A little gruesome, but this is an amazing animation! You have so much talent and i hope you make more!!!
I liked the reason it was gruesome 😶
As obscure as this reference might be, what comes to my mind while watching this is the ‘postlude’ part of the memoirs* (p.245+) of the wife of a certain theologian (‘From time to time’ by Hannah Tillich), where there is this apparently metaphorical conversation btw her and a shopkeeper in a store full of puppets which represent certain phases of her life before the shopkeeper guides her to a mysterious door somewhat representing a different phase of her life, before she disappears by the time he finishes explaining it; a part of me feels bold enough to say that if I ‘had uber-cash to spare’ I’d commission Barnaby to do an animated take from that book.
*she would still live for ~15+ years after that book came out during the early 70’s
*This* sssoo corresponds to the kind of cryptic-ness I felt from that melancholically puzzling memoir. The only other kinds of animation which could ‘match’ to that part of that book in my mind would be something experimental and ‘dark’ entries from the ‘National film board of Canada’ or when ‘Final fantasy’ series illustrator Yoshitaka Amano worked on ‘Angel egg’.

For real yeah
Fish’s head is not delicious
KIM12D yeet
It's actually delicious, well of course if ya had cooked it properly. For example, the fish head curry at Penang, Malaysia is truly a must if ya are going here !
Deqz95 yeaaaah man of culture, fish head is delicious
If you fry it, ypu can eat it while its still warm. Its great 😍 (talking about small fice specifically)
What in Heck’s name is your profile pic
Great, sooner or later, people will find this on their recommendations and say WTF.
Good animation tho
To make it better, this isnt anination! Its "stop motion" something even cooler!
Nah they’ll say “whoa”
i agree
Yea..... so sad that happens a lot.
Так и произошло... Чёзанах?
I can tell how much time he has spend on the puppets themselves and the sets itself this is a work of art.
Sound design was also pretty top notch. Keep up the great work!
Found your channel today from The Great Big Story channel and I've honestly made the best decision to subscribe and watch all of your amazing creations.
Ashily Lara me too
same
No speaking and very little sound, yet you conveyed everything awesomely. Thats super hard to do! Awesome job!
you're the next big thing buddy
He does puppets and does amazing stop motion, from nearing 9 years ago! This guy is better (creatively) than I will ever be!
Wow! I really love dabchick, but this just blew me away! I love how much emotion you captured without any mimic expressions or speech. And how the camera shifts it's focus like in a "normal" movie. I can't remember seeing that in a stop-motion film. And I really enjoy the robotic look of the characters and the creepy warehouse situation. Oh man I guess I'm gonna watch it again right away! You are a true artist! Thanks for sharing it with us :)
Hmm, bear with me, but I'm going to try and offer my own interpretation. I don't mean to imply that other interpretations are invalid, or that there is any singular right way to interpret it, I merely see it this way.
The bird represents the problems in life. The bird, while annoying, is easily deterred by a simple, nonviolent method. While this is not a permanent solution, it is effective nonetheless. This represents how even if life has those permanent, nagging problems, they can always be solved. But the first automaton wants to kill the bird, a permanent and relatively extreme solution.
The problem bird then comes back late at night, possibly angered by the threats of violence. It then proceeds to destroy the automatons' food supply, which represents life. This shows how violence can only lead to worse violence. This is further demonstrated in the battle between the automatons and the bird. The first automaton insists on using violence, which only ends up causing his friend to get hurt, and for his hand to be severed, while the bird escapes.
Ultimately, this film represents how solving problems with violence will only lead to harm upon those that deal damage to others in the first place.
I encourage others to commentate, critique and offer their own interpretations. Overall, I believe this a wonderful animation with a unique aesthetic and tone, and that more people should witness its uncanny beauty.
I like your interpretation, but I would like to comment about it - always in a constructive way.
Let's take the bird as the problems in life. The first automaton decides to take action and solve the problem, while the second one prefers to go for a temporary and useless solution. The bird does not come back to destroy the humans supply, but for the same reason that it came on the first time: food. The bird comes back for feeding, so the temporary solution only postponed the problem, which will come back in the future in an inappropriate moment to deal with it.
Still, they will have to face the problem once again, after getting more complex than it was, since now aside from it, the lost they food as well. So the firs automaton decides to deal with the problem while the second one decides to again, be passive and search for a temporary solution. It leads to a conflict, and as a snowball, the problem not only does not disappear, but it creates new problems. It goes so far that it lead to real injuries that might no be possible to solve. Yet the main problem, still not resolve, and it might come back again.
So from this point of view, the film represents how not dealing with the problems in an appropriate way, facing them and do what it needs to be done, will end up harming yourself and others. I don't take the fact of shooting the bird as a radical action or a violent one, but as a hard thing to do, like breaking up with someone, or go to the doctor to check that strange black dot on your arm.
About the animation, is really awesome!
stop searching for meaning everywhere.
I like violence....
It's satisfying and entertaining.
@@mamaprosti but it's fun!
@@mamaprosti true. . Its a waste of time. Unless youre being paid to do it. Meanwhile the creator is laughing at them for thinking too hard..
It's funny, I am 15 right now and I remember watching this way before.
I remember, specifically, the part where the guy picks up the fish head.
Strange isn't it? How nostalgia and memory works.
I’ve been trying to find this for a couple of years now, it’s nice to come back
This is...amazing.And this is Stop-motion!Stop motion,Carl!So many little details. Cool crazy style.I can't imagine,how hard was to do it.You're awesome!!!
Nobody:
My little brother when I literally touch him: 2:01
And I oop-
*continues to chop off little brothers head*
Lmao
@@justapotato7863 oh
I have never wanted a stop animated robot bird to die more than I did watching that. That bar is set pretty low. I think it is the first stop animated robot bird I've come across. But I wanted it to die. The simplicity of the story had my imagination reeling as to what else was going on in this world. I felt like the dry aging of the fish or whatever they were doing was really important to their survival. And that maybe "life" has become a very rare thing in this world. The partner knew that and thought the bird was precious because of how rare it was, just being a living creature. He doesn't have the same empathy for fish. They live in an unknown world that they can't go to. But a bird is up there with them. The butcher knew their would be consequences to letting it live. The consequences were greater than he thought. As a butcher, he needed his hands. I could write a whole essay on the world that developed in my head. Beautiful video. I dunno why exactly, but this really struck a chord with me.
This is underappreciated.
The sound design in this is especially lovely, I turned it up way louder than I usually listen to things to hear every little sound.
I love how well this stop motion film moves. I respect how many frames you took the time to take.
Man! This is one of the best animations I've seen! You have a lot of imagination! Keep up the good work!
“Knife goes in, guys come out. Knife goes in, guts come out.”
Ah yes I love it when I cut open a fish and loads of men come pouring out.
@@theresasassthetician8935 its raining men, hallelujah
That’s what Osaka seafood concern is all about
2:20 "Let's just flush those bad thoughts away"
Your work is excellent, thanks for sharing.
the fluidity of cutting open the fish and then dropping random bits of fish guts was crazy. How did you do this?
Jim Pitcher I think it was a real fish that just died
It looks like red strings
the fish was ckearly real meme juice .. it didn't just die .. it was problably from a can of sardines ... and i think the organes where string
That was amazing. I couldn't stop watching to see what would happen next. You are brilliant!!!!!
Wow, this is incredible! I just found out about you through ThinkerCon (great demo during Festival of the Spoken Nerd, btw) and I'm really enjoying watching through your stuff.
I love the animation and the material they used for it.
My favorite of this man's work
Isn’t it weird that they are made of different metal’s yet they bleed?
_Oil?_
Or just some weird kind of fluid they use that resembles blood and acts like it but is used for their overall movement
@@RustyRed05 somewhat like gasoline.
I was thinking more of hydraulic fluid
I just wanted to say I've been going through and watching all your videos and I am absolutely blown away! You are so talented and deserve so much more recognition that you get! Anyway have a awesome day!!
Coming back to this on Halloween, because it scratches a freaky itch that nothing else I've found quite does. Amazing work, Barnaby! Keeps me still coming back after so much time as passed since it originally haunted my adolescent nightmares.
Omfg this was amazing. I love how weird and twisted it was!! As cool as your puppets are I wish you still did stop animation. Your style is everything!!!! ❤️
this is so well made
love this movie. regret not seeing it sooner
This is such an incredibly underappreciated piece of art. Should have 100 times the views.
I cannot begin to tell you how much I love this. What was the inspiration behind it?
being a fucked up human being
You must be extremely sheltered to think this is a product of a fucked up human being.
+tonystark5882300 a I'm a sheltered fucked up human being.
Probably of fishermen, they get their fish stolen by birds sometimes lol
obviously the raven from edgar allan poe
I am stunned I LOVE CREEPY THINGS OR GORE ANIMATIONS AND ART (somethings wrong with meh lel) BUT THAT WAS FREAKING AWSOME
This was the first thing I ever saw of his. I was 12 and it freaked me out, didn’t see more of his stuff until my sister showed me dabchick years later. Imagine my whiplash to rediscover this
鳥の動きの再現がリアルで細やか！芸術的でドラマチック！
He started as a Erie stop motion man and now he make puppets
Toy show
this has made my childhood you know i think this is amazing i love this thanks for making this!
Really impressive, how many frames does it have?
the description doesn't tell
Thank you! Ummm.. No idea, 10 mins of 16 fps, whatever that would be :D
9600 frames
Thanks :)
Those frames are over 9000!!!!!!
9,600
this has such a reminiscence of the early Tool music videos
Everything about this is absolutely stunning. From the sounds to the animations, absolutely breathtaking
That was just incredible.
Seeing these guys go about their inconceivable, deranged job like it's just another day is an absolute joy, and I love how you managed to give these expressionless, featureless armatures their own distinct personalities that set them apart from each other even though they're physically the same. Really just a fantastic job all around, and a huge inspiration to boot. This deserves way more love than is has.
Side note: The camera focus changes (like the ones that occur at 2:52 and 6:57) are really cool effects that must be pretty tricky to pull off in stop motion (if that even is how this is animated). How did you do it?
