Have You Ever Witnessed a Collapse of Cartoon World?
There is no doubt that exists many either rejected or unknown, unreleased cartoons and animations. Don’s Hertzfeldt Rejected Cartoons probably falls into bucket of Great Forgetness. So is there any point to spend time to them? VideoDoc says “Yes”! Rejected Cartoons is mostly black and white, drawn by hand classical animation of first beginning times. It shows many small episodes with crazy and fun stuff evolving fun characters speaking and interacting in non-standard manner and in the end sharing terrible fate – collapse of their world.
After watching this animation VideoDoc feelings could be described in one word – “Awesome”! He has never seen before such somewhat strange yet very funny and crazy cartoon! No doubt that Hertzfeld put his heart into this stuff although this cartoon is chaotic and looks kinda weird but that is what makes him original. And that Alien – eye hunter fellow definitely rocks, so does the ending!
So, here VideoDoc share some advises to folks who sticks with 2D although it will be different then previous ones:
- Don’t Reject Your Work. You created it, it’s peace of you and those drawn folks need you. They need your attention, dear animator! If you really decided to get rid of them – destroy, erase their world totally with them along.They will forgive you this but they won’t forgive if you just left them to exist alone! You are God, Creator, Master to them and they will accept your fatal decision with respect no matter what although you could scare a hell of them. Once you had drawn them and their world, they start to live and share the joy with you.Nevertheless, if you got feeling that their world becomes unstable and failure of project becomes reality, you loose control and decide to end their suffering – then be sure to destroy everything and not a small thing is left so everything rest in piece in Animation Undead World which no one dares to draw. Hertzfeld had to make his decision and he did it, no one can blame him.
After witnessing for the very first time a collapse of one of cartoon world with it’s inhabitants VideoDoc couldn’t hold small tear as Hertzfeld probably, too. But then again, we can’t change Nature laws and things go as they go. So VideoDoc really advises to think twice before rejecting any of your creations.
Take a while to read a God’s message
Letter From God (To Men) is a fan version bootleg video for song of the same name. What is that God wants to say to us? What is He amazed by? What’s that makes Him feel disappointed about humans? Is He happy with us, His creation, or are we even created by Him? Listen to what he has to say about it. Video done by Yogzatot Studio, 2007. Original song by Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip.
Whatever these guys from Yogzatot are they done incredibly nice work! VideoDoc was really impressed! So many thoughts ran in mind, so much left to think off.To folks out there VideoDoc advises:
- Use bootleg video to express global message. And it means – real big strong message. Bootleg video is a very good choice for attracting attention to global problems and here’s why – bootlegging means putting many following images, videos so you can touch many problems in small amount of time, to be precise – in one video! Take this video as example. And using video and picture hides one more point – picture many times speak more than thousands words.
- Use impulse shots. These are those specifically filmed city or landscape or nature shots, which are speeded up so you can catch a feeling of pulse that usually isn’t possible due to relatively large amount of time it takes against 24 hour day.
- Use 3D graphics. Don’t hesitate to use 3D or 2D graphics to show things at angles that are not possible to be seen with natural angles. For example – some atom movement inside Sun or such things or more classical – Earth from Space. It will always work.
- Link Video to Words. This gives to video more strength and meaning, fills video with your message. VideoDoc found word credits worth.
God doesn’t visits humans occasionally and if He does there is reason to this. Maybe we should listen to His words and take them into account?
