It was so ahead of it’s time. It was made using a per-release version of Maya (3D animation software) that was being developed alongside the production of the film and the film won numerous awards.
Also. You’re crazy. This still looks good now. It blows away Toy Story 2 which was released a year after this film. Also. The script is both disturbing and thought provoking. The character designs are hilarious and the animation is exceptional. Dumb ass.
People say this is disturbing but it's hilarious and fun to quote and annoy my friends with. It's also supposed to be funny because it's a dark humor play.
This is basically Evangelion summarized in clown form Everybody gaslights him into being Bingo despite not wanting the role, then once he's convinced into being Bingo, it all ends
The thing is the technology of CGI was still not ready to make human characters without making them look strange, in this short it’s all so dark because it hides the flaws, when Pixar made human characters they mostly look kind of cartoony and not very realistic like in this short so they don’t get much in the “Uncanny Valley”
To look at it in a different light; Maybe he kept forgetting he's at an audition. All of a sudden, you realize all the yelling was due to their frustration with this guy, who can't seem to remember what part he's playing. Just a theory.
Sorry for resurrecting dead post, but as I remembered it this short story(?) is a perfect visualization of character assassination. Sure it's scary, why shouldn't, someone died inside at the end of the story. Still remember back in 2002 when Kevin Mannens went to my town for Maya lecture. Good stuff.
I remember when G4 was still TechTV, they had a show called Eye-drops (or maybe it was just I-drops.) And they showed this as one of the short animations. Even at age 6 I absolutely loved this. I still do.
@@nowelie1263 I (that was 14 to 15 year old me above) probably should look into that programme again, so I can discover other gems lost to the vaults of memory.
How did you manage to animate something that so perfectly captures the essence of a fever dream? I literally feel like I'm watching a dream of mine on playback every time I watch this and the feeling is uncanny.
@@thebongmaster most people are disturbed or wierded out by this but i feel like this whole thing has a much deeper meaning to it. Just tells you if enough people tell you who you are you will forget who you really are and become what everyone sees you as.
@@TheOne496 its all about the effect steps needed to do all the things you see happening. Its not really about a story per se. In the days this was made , lighting effects, motion, and physical effects were all many many steps to accomplish unlike today. All of the ease of doing in present day has been developed because of the complexity of doing them yesteryear.
This was on a CD with the book: Maya 6.0 Character Modelling And Animation. I've always thought it was one of the creepiest animations I've seen. I'm sure if any young kids saw it, it'd give them nightmares. The Circus Master, does anyone think she looks a little like C.S.I.'s Pauley Perrette??
It was made with the first iterations of Maya. Beta to 1.0 It shipped with various merchandise and promotion material back then as well, along with the stuff from Ruby’s Saloon.

And before you say it.. no, you aren't strong enough. Almost no one has suffered this at full strength: just small pieces. Even advertising/companies/governments have only toyed with pieces. Evil fact, the more you think "I can avoid it." the easier it is to work. The subject resisting makes it work MUCH better.
@bluebarker It's not one of the easier concepts to get, since it's easy to just think there's something 'special' about the guy and thus isn't really similar to the rest of us. Thinking that way, it's just a comedy/shock. When you realize that the 'clowns' are performing manipulation techniques that work on ANYONE, including yourself (aka, they can make anyone including YOU-the one reading this-think they are Bingo doing this) it's no longer funny.
I believe this was before clowns entered the world of nightmares. Or this was one of the first scary clowns. For me that's for sure. I found a clown frightening that seems evil and physically strong enough to carry a piano.
I did some digging on imdb. I thought evil clowns were much older, but it turns out it started in the late 80s early 90s with movies and shows like _Killer Klowns From Outer Space (1988)_ and the original _It (1990). Of course there was The Joker in Batman in the 60s, but he's not really a clown, he just wears clown's makeup.
@@Bonez0r what a thorough researcher you are.... imho sad clowns (crying harlequin clown) were invented much earlier than the evil ones in theatres. Maybe it was just an easy step for someone to replace the sadness as an emotion with evil approarch. Anyhow the contrast between evil looks and the original meaning of a funny clown is still large and working well in various dramatizations and fueled really well some costume designers and makeup artists.
It's a double fake. The video shows you the gaslighting process so you'll trust the video. Like a hustler showing you part of the trick to make you feel smart and also make you feel like you can trust them.
@@thebongmaster during BRBs (pauses between streaming games) he showed fragments of Bingo the Clowno to chat (his audience) for giggles and everyone liked it so much that people began to find the full video. Personally, that how I got here and saw this masterpeace.

Wait, this ain't the amazing digital circus.
You're right, it's the Spectacular Binary Carnival
Looks like the type of animation you'd get for getting a strike at a bowling alley.
agreed
This was incredibly advanced for its time, though
It was so ahead of it’s time. It was made using a per-release version of Maya (3D animation software) that was being developed alongside the production of the film and the film won numerous awards.

A sadistic example of gaslighting and brainwashing through trauma and torture.
real
Man, the amazing digital circus episode 2 looks great
I honestly enjoy this style of animation. The story and the way it's presented reminds me of a few of both my nightmares and dreams.
