- uriman, on 02/25/2008, -21/+225pixar quality in storyline and graphics. congrats
- MCA2142, on 02/25/2008, -2/+144Higher Def. NOT RICK ROLL
http://nofatclips.com/02007/12/03/situation/Theme% ... - diulei, on 02/25/2008, -2/+128I have so much more respect for 3D animators after taking a class on it. Only thing I made that looked right was Kirby.
- aladrin, on 02/25/2008, -7/+101It's good, but it's not "Pixar Quality" story.
- monkeyshines, on 02/25/2008, -0/+89And quite a 12 days for it not to make another week. :P
- TheKorn2, on 02/25/2008, -10/+92I know I'll get dug down for this, but screw it. It was done by TWO people, not one. One guy did the 3D, the other the sounds/music. (Read the credits at the end!!)
Granted, still impressive. - otis12, on 02/25/2008, -6/+70Very nice, it reminds me of some of Pixar's short films.
- Mootabolife, on 02/25/2008, -4/+59The scientist's voice didn't need to sound like a chipmunk though.
- monkeyshines, on 02/25/2008, -2/+44While watching the film, I kept thinking about how much the mad scientist reminded me of Orville Redenbacher. Then I looked up his picture and realized Mr. Redenbacher was, in fact, much scarier: http://www.coolquiz.com/trivia/names/images/redenb ...
In any case, the film was definitely impressive. - solidus636, on 02/25/2008, -2/+42I like how almost every time someone says, "I know I'll get dugg down for this...", they get dugg up.
- sagat, on 02/25/2008, -3/+42I see some jealousy in some of the posts above. To those nitpickers: You are average at what you do, this guy isn't, face it.
- frsrblch, on 02/25/2008, -0/+38That'd be quite the render farm for it to take only 30 hours.
- Pritchard, on 02/25/2008, -0/+34Ah, so that's how I know something's not Rick Roll... Look for the "NOT RICK ROLL" label!
- fridenstrom, on 02/25/2008, -3/+34Not quite.
- ep53, on 02/25/2008, -0/+19He should have put it on Metacafe and got some cash for "producer awards" at 931,546 views he could have made $4657 which is pretty good.....
http://www.metacafe.com/producer_rewards/ - reclusiveraider, on 02/25/2008, -0/+19"NOT RICK ROLL"
I'm so proud to be part of site that has to announce that. - jcims, on 02/25/2008, -0/+17Funny how the sound guys never get credit. The sound effects were good but the music was fantastic.
- jwolcott, on 02/25/2008, -1/+17A week in Theme Planet has 13 days.
- Shroom08, on 02/25/2008, -1/+16It's videos like these that make me want to learn 3ds Max and Maya. Granted he's probably been using it for years, it still makes you want to learn.
- colonelbuckshot, on 02/25/2008, -4/+18Guy's got talent... he's an Austrian guy called Michael Sormann
http://www.sormann3d.com/portfolio/index.htm - TheKorn2, on 02/25/2008, -0/+13I disagree; that's like saying the 3D could have been done by anyone. It's tough to write music that actually sounds good; don't belittle the effort.
- InActionJackson, on 02/25/2008, -1/+14this is amazing, its so inspiring to think that 1 person can make something that good in such a short amount of time.
by the way, it took him 3 months to complete, not counting the modeling, he mentions it on his cgtalk thread http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=154&t ... - IgWannA, on 02/25/2008, -0/+12i'd be very surprised if he managed to render a single second of animation in 30 hours. he no doubt hired a renderfarm otherwise it would be damn near impossible to render it all - it's of so high a quality.
- jcims, on 02/25/2008, -0/+11Something tells me he isn't trying to get a job as a writer...
- hammerpants, on 02/25/2008, -0/+11Careful. This site is like crack. One minute, you sign up to Digg something cool. The next minute, it's Christmas morning, and you're hitting refresh on the homepage, screaming, "Update, damn you!"
- flyingsquirle, on 02/25/2008, -2/+13Finally a video that actually deserves the title "Absolutely INCREDIBLE"
too many ones now adays that take that to the extreme and end up
being Absolutely INCREDIBLE pointless... - scallon, on 02/25/2008, -10/+21You must mean ok in the sense that Chuck Norris is "ok" at killing people.
- Hayaemsay, on 02/25/2008, -2/+12Amazing, end tune was reminiscent of Crash Bandicoot credits.
- Slick37c, on 02/25/2008, -0/+10Minesweeper
- explodingtree, on 02/25/2008, -0/+10I take a dump better than Shrek 3.
- TheKorn2, on 02/25/2008, -2/+12Two people... read the credits at the end of the movie.
- nakile, on 02/25/2008, -0/+9I guess you haven't seen what sampler and synthesizers can do now a days. Some of the new Korgs could almost replace an orchestra.
- fixty, on 02/25/2008, -0/+9Whoa. Now I know who they modeled the first zombie from the first Resident Evil game after...
- solidus636, on 02/25/2008, -0/+9Maybe because that's his only video?
- Elliuotatar, on 02/25/2008, -0/+9Yeah what was up with that? He sounded normal when he was yelling and grunting.
- wastelander, on 02/25/2008, -0/+9This one is a Rick Roll:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBGIQ7ZuuiU - cnot3, on 02/25/2008, -2/+10Yeah, it didn't rip off Seven Samurai.
- snurfle, on 02/25/2008, -9/+17Good animation, but the ending was kinda weak... with all the Pixar comparisons, I was expecting something better then "then the scientist crashes."
- greeneggsnsam, on 02/25/2008, -2/+10I signed up for an account to Digg this.
- battletrax, on 02/25/2008, -0/+8Its one guy, give him a break.
- Axeman2063, on 02/25/2008, -5/+12I will admit that I see waaaaaay to many videos and pics and such claim to be amazing, incredible and Barackulous, but that being said this video actually deserves the incredible title...especially where one person did all the work. I wouldn't be surprised if Pixar offers him a job, should they get wind of this project.
- SlimFastForYou, on 02/25/2008, -1/+8What's with you guys? He gave credit where it was due, and he didn't even point out a very big flaw. He also said that he thought the movie was "really good".
- SolidSnake24, on 03/28/2008, -0/+7I'm speechless!! This is better than Shrek 3!
- artofwar420, on 02/25/2008, -0/+7I remember when I rendered a small 5 second animation, it took about an hour.
- Morky, on 02/25/2008, -0/+7No one is mentioning the artist you would need to be to accomplish this. If he did all the tech AND art work, then it is truly amazing. I love that the means of production at this level are in the hands of the masses.
- viruz, on 02/25/2008, -4/+11since Chuck Norris hasn't actually killed anyone, then yes, it is just ok.
- quiznos, on 02/25/2008, -0/+6He should, I'd go over there just to give it a view
- XBSHX, on 02/25/2008, -0/+5Check this out: http://www.sormann3d.com/portfolio/anims/test3.mpg
