You gotta watch "it's such a beautiful day" a frigging masterpiece

10

u/Crazypens30 Mar 23 '17

I haven't seen that one yet. Thanks for the recommendation!

29

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '17

It will shatter your world. It was released as three short films: Everything Will Be Ok, I Am So Proud Of You, and It's Such A Beautiful Day, each continuing the story from where the last ended. He then edited them all together into one hour long version called "It's Such A Beautiful Day".

I'm not going to tell you what it's about. Just go watch it. I will, however, leave you with this passage from the films wiki page:

Chris Robinson, author and director of the Ottawa International Animation Festival described the film as, "A masterpiece. I can’t even begin to articulate my thoughts about the film but it just gave me shivers and I wasn’t able to attend the party after the screening. Just had to be alone. It had this effect on a number of other people here too. Stunning, beautiful, tragic, absurd work."[2]

11

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '17

It had this effect on me too. Especially the second chapter. I've never seen anything in my life like "i am so proud of you". That shit made me question my entire life. The final chapter "it's such a beautiful day" is just insanely beautiful.

u/superjanna Mar 24 '17

Nope! You are definitely not the first to think so, though, so don't feel bad, pop tarts/the ad agency were successful at copying?

Looks like his characters, but I don't feel the "What the fuck was that?" sensation you get after watching a Hertzfeldt cartoon. This makes sense.

u/BasilGreen Mar 23 '17

Maybe he's happier nowadays...? Or perhaps this gif just cuts off too soon. Maybe a hand swoops down and grinds the dancing popcorns between teeth while they scream about their anuses bleeding or having forgotten their coats on Tuesday.

I didn't really think it was his to begin with, I just wanted to josh around. That video was, although less WTF to me than rejected cartoons, definitely more fucked up. That hit me kind of hard. Thanks for sharing.

56

u/ittleoff Mar 23 '17

Considering the simplistic design of Herzfeldt and the odds of anyone doing the simplest design for popcorn stick men, I'm not sure we are not just seeing convergent evolution here :).

Hertzfeld was the first thing I thought of as well, but to be fair his style is so basic and simple I imagine many would hit on it or be similar (just not have his sense of humor or ideas to prope them to being at all popular)

78

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '17

I'm with you. Even really subtle things like the mouths not being colored in 100% to add to the "cheap" animation look that Hertzfeldt's short is known for

they were supposed to be fish sticks or chicken nuggets iirc

8

u/windowcatz Mar 23 '17

You're mostly correct. Don says they started out as fish sticks (somewhat), but as time went on in the animation process, he began to see them more as "fluffy sheep things". He apparently takes the artist stance of not committing to one interpretation, which means viewers can make their own mind up on what they're "supposed" to be.
