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, 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!
(, Sun 17 Jan 2010, 13:10, 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 :)
