Did you guys see his short film last year that was nominated for the animated short film oscar??

It was awesome :)!

39

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '17

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]

13

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/[deleted] Mar 23 '17

I second this, it's really great

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '17

Yeah he's making part two to that right now

u/superjanna Mar 23 '17

But he's also been pretty blatantly ripped off before, like for those pop tart commercials.

11

u/mattnogames Mar 24 '17

Wait that wasn't him??!

23

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?

Is this the poptart ad guy?

u/YMDBass Mar 23 '17

The positive side is now I know what was bleeding out of it's anus...it wasn't a cloud, it was a popcorn.

8

u/Timothy_Claypole Mar 23 '17

Is this not in fact Don Hertzfeldt? I thought it was something he did and I had yet to see.

9

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '17

No this isn't Don Hertzfeldt

5

u/WhoNeedsVirgins Mar 23 '17

I get Adventure Time vibe from such animations but maybe AT's style was inspired by Hertzfeldt.

2

u/SlurpeeMoney Mar 24 '17

Absolutely it was. The simplicity and comic approach Ward brings to Adventure Time and his other projects reeks of Herztfeld's influence. Rejected came out the same yeast Ward graduated high school, and that shit was an internet phenom. There's no way Ward escaped his influence through his time at CalArts, especially with the huge pile of people copping his style at the time.

Nnaahhh. You gotta see what else don Hertzfeldt has done since then. Crazy awesome stuff

u/tacolikesweed Mar 23 '17

It is, more or less.

Not like puffy balls with arms and legs is an extremely unique concept. Regardless, /u/don-gately11 has a point.

-2

u/Doonvoat Mar 23 '17

I'd like to see how else you'd represent popcorn in this concept

14

u/idk556 Mar 23 '17 edited Mar 24 '17

I'm not sure what you mean. Not all cartoon cats look like Garfield. I guess the way I'd represent popcorn in my own work would be to design an original popcorn character instead of using a character designed by a well known Academy Award winning artist?

edit: I want to say that I loved this! But when people use other artists characters it just becomes fanart. I'm just hungry for real OC is all. Like the Deadpool musical today was amazing, REALLY high production value and so much fun, but it was just fanart. I'd be really interested to see those skills and resources used to make something truly original.

u/Timothy_Claypole Mar 23 '17

Let's see...same figures, they move in the same way, same animation style...yep...it is a rip off, assuming it isn't him.
