Pure and Simple
I made this!
This was just an experiment to see how far I could take free software, but i quite like the effect. No stickmen, and i hesitate to ask for opinions.

What you have achieved here is to create a unique visual style. It's ghostly but human at the same time. I am hypnotised by it. Dont let the admen steal this.

i'd be very happy with myself if i created something like this
it's very impressive. Perfect style too, the rough-around-the-edges aspect of the surroundings is a nice juxtaposition with the really interesting characters and their movement. I like this a hell of a lot.

If I were you I'd pull this information
Because you never know when the Copy Cunts may strike! It's a wonderful effect that were I to see it on a new Pot Noodle advert, I would throw my own shit at the TV and curse the world we live in. Unless you'd been commissioned to do it, like. Then I would pour thanks upon the beauty that is the B3ta-to-TV phenomenon.

Making money
Well, as someone above said - don't let the admen steal it.
So why not make a music video for someone instead. There's tons of cool British bands round at the moment; I'm sure there's possibilities here. Perhaps one for a forthcoming Hot Chip single?
(, Sun 17 Jan 2010, 1:01, Share, Reply)
I've heard that this Hot Chip are quite good.
However, I have been hearing about a band from round my neck of the woods called Hurts. They appear to be "the next big thing". Harry them!

oooh Hurts are good
They ARE going to be the next big thing.
(, Sun 17 Jan 2010, 14:38, Share, Reply)
Thanks, I'll have a listen out
However, i doubt i'll offer to make a video. I DID get commissioned by a band to make one, but I stuck so far in my comfort zone doing it I didn't have the heart to charge them in the end. It simply wasn't good enough. I doubt I'll ever get the confidence, despite this video being so popular!

You might not get to reading this far down, but feck it - I'll type it anyway...
I've always enjoyed your stuff but - and I hope you don't mind me saying this - I've always been struck more by your approach, humour and taste in music than the whole stickmen thing. But with this, you've surprised me - it's stunning and, dare I say it, even a little bit moving. Perfect music/footage choice and amazing result! Really - stunning!

I am fully aware how low tech they are; but you hit the nail on the head: They are really just a vehicle to share great music and a few laughs, although i have grown quite fond of them :)
