The concept of a brain and nervous system being expelled from your body is such a disturbing tier of cosmic horror and I genuinely can't believe I've never seen it done before. That being said, it's awesome. Edit: Guys, I didn't say it's never been done before. Just that I personally haven't seen it before, and I consume a lot of horror content.
@@hermes_job_observer144 I'm gonna struggle with this comparison. Especially when SENSOR is right there. There's also a comic by Hideo Yamamoto that features a character's nervous system acting a bit strange. Finally there's probably the only good scene in some trash tv show that's not actually very good, where a character expels their nervous system out their back. Anyway, Ito is definitely in this art style.
It’d be cool if adult swim had little art blocks for upcoming animators trying to make a name. A couple minute clips at most. Similiar to how Nickelodeon had their way of introducing pilots to kids
I mean I’m pretty sure this is an infection type of horror where each time the empty body meets someone they also expel a nervous system so boss is probably on board at that poont
The quality of the animation is so good it was almost distracting. Rodrigo has a remarkable grasp of perspective, few animators will fill their storyboards with such challenging shots, but Rodrigo just dives right in. There’s an insane amount of attention paid to the value range, something that’s accentuated by the grayscale beautifully. I urge you to rewatch the video and examine these incredible high-contrast compositions, each one is a masterclass in light and shadow. I hope his pitch for his Playground feature gets picked up!
Sousa's ability to create the feeling of getting a glimpse of an entire fleshed out world is crazy. The lighting and perspective in this is also super impressive
The flashes of images are so haunting. People walking hooded in a forest, same people playing music to a bleeding head, a head smiling minicingly above a city/castle, a lamb standing before a sphinx laying in the dark with only its eyes gleeming. Very creepy and well done. I want to know so much more!
Well I think it has something to do with those weird images that flashed before his brain came out I noticed a few similarities like one of the pictures depicting a figure with blood coming out of its mouth like the janitor
@@CarsonRileyC. I don't think so, she would have those weird spores, I think this is something else I concluded that it's some ancient curse that spreads through that strange audio, causes your nerves to expel out and your husk of a body now a vessel to continue to spread the curse.....but yea it doesn't explain why she is poring blood from spots where it shouldn't so maybe. But also how does the creature from the first connect with this curse like power? I'm confused
Jesus those sounds effects from the first…thing, they really captured that sound of someone trying to breathe but their windpipe and lungs had been torn off
I am so happy for the animator and artist behind those shorts. I believe he has a lot of potential, and i can't way for more of his works. Great job Rodrigo!!!
EPIC! This has spoilers, so read with caution. I just started watching these episodes, and I love this series. Rodrigo Sousa’s ability to animate fluidly and create unsettling atmospheres is absolutely incredible. I love the world building/implied mythology within this short. The movements of the afflicted woman are very unsettling, and add so much to the experience of watching this. And the concept of a nervous system separated from its body is so cool and creepy to see animated, and it is something I used to think about as a child sometimes. I love how that concept is portrayed here. So far, this short is my favorite. I quite like swimming pools, animation, and fictional horror content, so this is very, very cool to me. Keep up the good work!
Rodrigo de Sousa! And Jérémy Ben Ammar! Wow, I wonder if this is an indication that "Playground" is getting some studio backing or something. Anyway, very cool.
This is amazing. Mr. de Sousa you are seriously my main animating inspiration. What you did here is incredible. It's scary, and compelling, and eldritch, and wonderfully designed. In my wildest dreams i want to make art like this. Thank you!
UNBELIEVABLY good! Rodrigo Goulão de Sousa's brand of horror is one of my favourite things. So happy Adult Swim's doing this, and I hope there's more in future
The quality of both the blood dripping onto the floor as well as the body cracking uncannily as it compacts and bends in places it shouldn’t is simply superb. They’re so well mixed yet you can hear both of them if you listen.
Thanks to the extraordinarily skilled animators who have worked so unbelievably hard to achieve such artistic genius, thank you adult swim for existing and funding these projects and thanks to all of the people here supporting this, you are all facilitating the continued creation of art of which actually matters.
Beautiful work rodrigo I remember seeing your playground trailer on TH-cam and I just wanted to see more of your work whether it was playground or not. Your work is absolutely amazing and I can’t wait to see what you do next also I feel like no body has talked about this part in the chat 0:24 AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO FOUND THIS PART UNSETTLING!
At the end it says "Thanks to Mila Mona" at the bottom. Joel Haver knows by now that 'Mila' is an anagram for "Lima" (which is Lime in Spanish), and Mona means "Moon". In other words, special thanks to "Moon Lime"
BRO IM STILL WAITNG FORPLAYGROUND XDD (no stress lol.. take ur time) ITS JUS UR ART STYLE IS SOOO GOOOD BRO :DD its rly clean even with all the messyblood >:DDD
come on lady i just finished cleaning there i just had this little patch and i would have finished my shift but now i need to clean it all again because of your blood. why did you had to bleed all over the clean floor, didn't you saw the sign. oh come on now you bleed in the pool. do you know how hard it is to clean blood out of a pool i need to replace all the pool water or my boss will be angry at me tomorrow morning. he's a really strict guy he'll get mad at me because of you. oh man i really needed this job why are you making my life harder. please leave i need to exorcism the building because of you. (sigh) and i thought ill be able to go home early today. my mom will be disappointed. hey did you not hear me leave the pool. HEY kkkh ah sarlahmanhhaportenihfrekhnisrikrendu.
That was really cool, and the wet and shiny effect on the tiles was really well done! I'd like to know if that was a filter or rhe artist's choice of shades to achieve that visual.
I just wanna point out the fact that while his brain was being pulled his eyes were still in the eye socket and then all of the sudden teleports connected to the brain
God the detail of every shot, I think its CG for the turn arounds, and yet using loos lines… these guys got some talent.

He has ALL the talent. It's a matter of time that he could work in a movie like the ones of studio 4C. Mind Game , Kemonozume, Kaiba or Tekkonkinkreet. Just imagine that!. Playground esta al lado de Cat Soup, palmo a palmo. G R E A T! ! ! !
he wasn't even scared at first he just didn't want to clean up the blood
👍🏽
:)
he's more scared about getting fired for that
I thought it was going to suddenly change the tone toward the end to a comedy because he wouldn't want the leaky blood lady making a mess of the pool.
As a jaded individual who has worked plenty night shifts, I can relate lol
POV: Your nervous system gets a little too nervous and runs away.
That's rough buddy
giggled
can relate
i giggled
Sounds like a joke from HHGTTG where someone else heard the Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz's poetry...
im reminded of that one music video about the teens who sneak into a pool late one night and it turns out to be a portal to...somewhere insane
DyE - Fantasy
Thank you! I need to revisit that @@sdccf9876
That's exactly what I thought of too :)
I thought the same too
So we all thought the same, huh? I haven't seen that video in years!
the way I knew immediately that the creator of "Playground" made this lol love it
Epic but longer.
im glad im not the only one who recognized the style give this man all the money
I want him to carry on with the Playground !
@@pluslinfini4135 Same! We've been waiting a whole year for any updates!
give the creator of this short all resources & creative freedom that he needs, this man has an insane amount of potential!
Search up "playground trailer" on TH-cam, you'll see a project he Is working on and it's also horror related.
This guy is Rodrigo Sousa actually he collaborated with adult swim to make 3 of these, he also has his own project he’s working on called playground
@@TekunoKunty that playground trailer was so sick !
@@TekunoKun wait this is the playground guy??
@@logan735yes it is

Edit: Guys, I didn't say it's never been done before. Just that I personally haven't seen it before, and I consume a lot of horror content.
It seems to me, it's obviously "inspired" by Junji Ito's "The Hanging Balloons."
Correct!
@@hermes_job_observer144 I'm gonna struggle with this comparison. Especially when SENSOR is right there. There's also a comic by Hideo Yamamoto that features a character's nervous system acting a bit strange.

Anyway, Ito is definitely in this art style.
Basically all ideas have been done before, it's how well it's done that counts. But yeah, it is a shame that this idea isn't done more
@pneumaticpterodactyl4015 There's Nothing New Under The Sun.
This is what adult swim needs! This type of material with artistic value and effort.
It’d be cool if adult swim had little art blocks for upcoming animators trying to make a name. A couple minute clips at most. Similiar to how Nickelodeon had their way of introducing pilots to kids
@jksimmons1560 you're being sarcastic, right? Because that already exists
Btw the artist has an upcoming mini series call playground it’s pretty promising
ur kidding right- thats literally what adult swim has always had and been
@@jksimmons1560 Check out our Smalls program - th-cam.com/play/PLQl8zBB7bPvJEW7pwb1wYawqBdFPLf_TP.html
Boss: That is the dumbest excuse for why you didn’t show up for work yesterday. You’re fired!
I mean I’m pretty sure this is an infection type of horror where each time the empty body meets someone they also expel a nervous system so boss is probably on board at that poont
dude, benson's gonna be so mad when he finds out what we did instead of cleaning the pool
Starts with a ballon floating towards the sky ends with the caretaker floating towards the sky!
No it ends when you tie the broom to the pool floats to bottom and broom impales it's weak spot there helps force it down,,, for good

can you imagine Rodrigo as director in horror movie with actors? People will scream to see his work.
The art is brilliant, probably unobtainable skill level to most.

Wait, this is the same lady from the previous episode of Uncanny Alley. What the hell is happening in this town?
Nice observation, I didn't notice that.
Cool, so it wasn't just me :)
I just realized the larvae 🐛 are through her eyes, either she’s dead, or the larvae is co trolling her now
Well I think it has something to do with those weird images that flashed before his brain came out I noticed a few similarities like one of the pictures depicting a figure with blood coming out of its mouth like the janitor
Janitor for the entire half of the short:
" Dude, seriously? "
My heart just sank when that thing walked in.
It’s the same woman from the first short
@@CarsonRileyC. I don't think so, she would have those weird spores, I think this is something else

@@thenightmare666. look at the details, she had the same mole under her eye, and earrings, maybe the larvae ate out of eyes
This gave me the chillsss
I also love how the girl from the first one comes back here. Really feels like it's building a universe i love it
Wow, good catch!
these epileptic hallucinations are absolutely gorgeous! not much space for animation. however pictures themselves are deeply hypnotizing
I would love to watch a story about those hallucinations.
Jesus those sounds effects from the first…thing, they really captured that sound of someone trying to breathe but their windpipe and lungs had been torn off
Me when I'm nervous: 1:53
I am so happy for the animator and artist behind those shorts. I believe he has a lot of potential, and i can't way for more of his works. Great job Rodrigo!!!
Janitor: This is beyond my pay grade
gets spine ripped out jjk style
Hanitor: This is beyond my Gay Prade 😂😂😂
The setting of each place feels so familiar yet so distant, like a liminal space or something out of a dream. I love it
This is my type of horror.
Not relying on typical jumpscares but sticking with the uncanny
Oh its the same guy who made the playground concept trailer
I thought this style looked familiar, thanks for confirming
That got real Ito-esque fast

He experienced a miracle.
This is violently cool, but also extremely interesting: these ideas are original and well executed.
Rodrigo de Sousa! And Jérémy Ben Ammar!
Wow, I wonder if this is an indication that "Playground" is getting some studio backing or something. Anyway, very cool.
He is free. Ah, to be a nervous system floating peacefully through the air like a balloon.
Not sure about it, those things he saw looked like hinted that he’s being sacrificed to some ancient gods.
@@sardonyfilor6886 Just let him have this... he needs it.
@@greatclubsandwich5612Indeed. He deserves it. Being a janitor is hard, he needs to have peace in the sky and be one with the gods.
This is amazing. Mr. de Sousa you are seriously my main animating inspiration. What you did here is incredible. It's scary, and compelling, and eldritch, and wonderfully designed. In my wildest dreams i want to make art like this. Thank you!

I love it, give me 6 seasons and a movie
The lady seems like she was the previous victim like she had her nervous system and brain removed too
The nervous system got a bit too nervous
Love to see him getting some recognition. "Playground" is such a good short.
The quality of both the blood dripping onto the floor as well as the body cracking uncannily as it compacts and bends in places it shouldn’t is simply superb.
They’re so well mixed yet you can hear both of them if you listen.
I absolutely love the music here it perfectly reflects that shaking anxiety feel it’s super cool!
imagine a show like off the air but only scary stuff like this. it won't happen but the thought keeps me warm at night.
Dudes brain was like "I've heard enough" and decided to leave the planet.
You know it's good when you gotta pause it to sip your coffee
The guy was definitely pretty nervous by the end.
Hell yeah, Rodrigo. Hope this leads to more!
Yes. This. I constantly complain there isn't enough horror in animation so this makes me feel gooooood.
Man he got some nerve to follow that person
Not anymore
I'm freaking LOVING them!! Keep em' cominggg.
This is next levellllll... where has media like this been??
she spoke truth to him and he can no longer live in ignorance
Brain just wanted to live his own life in the sky :’) thats beautiful
The ending music where the brain is already outside just makes me don't wanna go outside late at night...
Love how unbothered he is at first. Great designs!
The fact that he didn’t care until the stuff happened
Erm, I think he should get that checked out by a doctor

It’s the same lady from the 1st episode “the screening”!!!!
Creators accounts were stolen and turned into a crypto channel, it would be helpful if anyone can bring attention to this.
Well he’s back babeeeeyyyy
Thank you!!! It's solved know!
nervous system: aight im clocking out
Awesome AS ! You’ve guys been part of my childhood/ life for almost 30 years. Love you guys
Having your nervous system slide out all in one piece gotta feel great
My brother in christ...you dont just see that THING walk in and be like "...aaaaah man, i just cleaned over there :L"
At the end it says "Thanks to Mila Mona" at the bottom. Joel Haver knows by now that 'Mila' is an anagram for "Lima" (which is Lime in Spanish), and Mona means "Moon". In other words, special thanks to "Moon Lime"
Doesn't Mona mean doll or could also mean monkey in Spanish

I like how bro couldn’t care less that there was a demonic presence in the building and he just wanted to clean up the blood 😂😂😂
Hell yeah, new material to show to my homies when we r high just dropped

Talk about outta body experience, amiright? eh? Eh?!

0:28 the sound of thumps combined with the creaky iron door opening sound reminds me of little nightmares with the chef's
It seems that the Lady's brain could be floating somewhere in the sky too
Just a body walkin past him like that... and he don't even blink 🙃🙃🙃
the fact that the janitor doesn't feel the pain
Incredible. Animation's come a long way. Thank you Adult Swim!

This is amazing, I don't know what I just watched, but it is awesome.
sequence at 1:20 absolutely rules
That’s disgusting, horrific, grotesque, gut wrenching, nightmarish, and so much more. I cant take my eyes off it.
RIGHT?! ❤🎉
Bro became a great one at the end.
INCREDIBLE work!!
FUND THIS MAN’S PASSION PROJECTS!!!!! HIS WORK IS SO SPECTACULAR!!!!!!!!
absolutely enamored with these !!
There's moments in life when you hear people say stuff that gets up to your nerves, up to a point where you can only think "aight, Ima head out"
Oh this is good. I don't like the way my body feels no more. Yeahhhhh. 12/10.
She popped her domain
The nerve of that guy.
I wonder what the writing is on those medieval illustrations.
Amazing work!
Waiter!! More animations by Rodrigo Sousa please!!❤
PLEASE ADULT SWIM, SUPPORT HIM TO MAKE HIS PROJECT "PLAYGROUND" IT WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!
Куда же без шутки про «типичный Питерский вечер»))
Love these shorts!! More! How terrifying.
imagine waking up to this on the tv at 4am in 2006.
