  • Made by Lasse Gjertsen in 2005.
    This video was my interpretation of the admission assignment for an animation school in Norway, which was to make a "self portrait in any technique". I decided to make something that combined everything I can do creatively. If you hear the word "tits-machine", don't worry, it means "time machine" in Norwegian. - Lasse

    This part "I'm sick of sleeping, getting up, brushing my teeth, showering, eating, working, going to the toilet and going to bed.. But that's life. That's the way we made it for ourselves, but is this what we want? Is this what I want? No.." resonates so loudly with me.. I wish we could change everything..

      The only part of that cycle of events that isn't absolutely - or at least highly - necessary to the living being, is working.

    How are you doing, 17 years later?
    What a beautiful video to just be captured in time. I still think of this randomly and saw it probably 15-17 years ago myself.
    That's when you know you created something great.

    I know probably this won't reach you, but I still wanted to put this out here :D I remember watching this video and generally your stuff, about 14-15 years ago and back then I was thinking that I want to be an animator too, because I wanted to do nice stuffs and maybe change the world with animation.
    And here we are in 2023, I'm an accomplished 3D animator, who works their dream job. Also back at the university, where I've learned animation I met my current fiance and a bunch of friends... Long story short lots of good things happened in my life, because of you and your work. Just wanted to say thanks for it. I hope you have a nice life.

    seriously though, thank you for putting meaning into your videos. The earth was created us to befriend, not to tame.People will only achieve true meaning, true happiness when we realize what life is really all about. No possession, no money, just the planet and the love that holds it all together. I cannot begin to say how right you are, thank you for sharing the message with those who have not yet realized it.

    It's wild that this video is 16 years old. It was on my MySpace profile page, and I watched it as least once a month for years. No lie that it definitely shaped how I approach my own writing.

    I love how humble this is. I hate when people do similar stuff and say things like... "I hate the way everyone thinks about money, they are all mindless" etc.
    Loved the way you admitted your thoughts about money too... Makes this enjoyable.
    Great clip

    Buddy. I emailed this to myself back in 2007. I do not know why I did that. But in cleaning up my email I found it. And I am glad I did. I am going to email it to myself again so I can watch it another 16 years from now. I am going to go through your channel and see where you ended up. Thank you for this thought-provoking beautiful video! It was meaningful to me 16 years ago and meaningful to me today - so maybe you captured a little bit about who I am too! Best wishes.
