Mark Osborne's MORE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 мар 2013
- Nominated for an Academy Award and awarded the Best Short Film at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival, MORE is a stop-motion mixed-media short film written and directed by Mark Osborne, the co-director of Kung Fu Panda and the upcoming animated feature film based on the iconic book The Little Prince.
MORE tells the story of an old, tired inventor as he struggles through joyless life in a drab and passionless society, leading the same cold and colorless existence accepted by the identical drones around him. At once tortured and inspired by his dreaming of and yearning for his younger carefree days, he struggles to finish the invention he hopes will give his life meaning and worth. His world, and the world of those around him, is transformed when his secret invention is completed. However, his subsequent success does not come without sacrifice. The inventor realizes that the true essence of his inspiration cannot be manufactured...
Available on DVD along with an hour long making of documentary called MAKING MORE at www.happyproduct.com

As I know that Mark Osborne occasionally reads these comments, I'd just like to say how much I love this short film. I rewatch it every couple of years and always seem to take away something different from it. Thanks again for this beautiful piece of art.
Seconded. I come back to this often. It helps to replenish the fire in my soul and realize what's really important in life. It's a wonderful example of what makes great art and creativity so powerful.
In my senior year of high school (class of 2019) my comp. and media (film studies) final was a spontaneous in-class essay on this short film, my teacher didn't tell us much about it except that it had been awarded and widely recognized.
To this day, I feel haunted by MORE: the chilling music, the colorless landscape, the alien-like creatures that are closer representations of us than we'd care to admit, it's totally and utterly unsettling. I almost hate how intrigued I am by it, much like how the main character seems riveted by the happiness which seems to come so easily to children. Unable to take his eyes off the one thing he cannot ever seem to achieve or create.
I too find myself coming back maybe once a year, to sit and stare, watching on in silence.
EDIT: Just now I was struck by the thought that maybe MORE, in some small and subconscious part, had some influence in my decision to be an English major (with an academic interest in film). I just hope that I can also contribute something valuable of my own.
I feel the same way. I first saw it in College when Vimeo was really the destination for art film. The good ol days! And this movie has haunted me and I love watching it. It’s a reminder of the human condition, at our core we long for acceptance and joy of adolescence. Adulthood is the unending pursuit of what’s been lost and being consumed by greed. I take my hat off and bow to you good sir. You’ve stirred our minds and elicited great admiration from us all.
Same! The first time I saw this, I was a little kid at an Imax movie with my pops. It was a short film, before the film. Back then I looked at it more like it was a cute thing, and would always refer to it as “The Clay People.” Now of course it’s still beautiful, but heartbreaking - plus as someone grinding away in a 9-5, 5 days a week, I can relate pretty well. Anyway, will always be such a work of art. The music is perfect as well.
That is awesome- thx for sharing. I’ve loved this piece of art since I was in college 20 years ago
This movie is basically the reason why I decided becoming a filmmaker.
Wow, that's awesome. I'm glad it inspured you!
yes!
And how that work out for you? Yeah, probably in real-estate.
Today, the day when Apple announced Vision Pro, it has became way more relevant than ever. Amazing how ART can predict the future.
And today, the day Vision Pro came out, it has become more of a reality than ever.
@@imworthmyweightinshekels4793и вместо гиганта Apple появиться такой же герой, который сделает лучше и дешевле.
Привет из России.
The music is what really makes this film powerful imo
It’s the band New Order. It was written for Ian Curtis who passed away by suicide. Elegia is the name of the song.
Америка говно
Kenna - Hell bent was originally the song to this video
@@sonofhibbs4425 holy heck, thanks so much!
@@sonofhibbs4425 This song was used in the Movie 'Pretty in Pink" (how 'bout THAT!!??)
It was actually a change we had to make due to rights issues with the New Order song (I wasn't allowed to use it for any credit sequence). My buddy Ben Decter did an amazing job creating original music for the end credits that really elevated the emotional impact of the films ending. So what started as a compromise ended up improving the film! Hats off to Ben Decter!
Honestly, I think if it had been any other way, it would have suffered.
this track had no visual reference for a decade or two, . . . . I had to buy a second copy of the album Low Life SideB ( on tape ), . . I always imagined a fishing trawler endeavour, . . .I still cry my eyes out with newer 12 remixes and such, . . BUT THIS is what media students should be given as a 'staple' - @UTCMediaCityUK #WhatDoesItMean
Kenna - Hell bent was originally the song to this video
And hats off to you for this film and Greener!
I really love the piano piece of the New Order - Elegia, wish it was like a New Order - Elegia ‘More’ Version with the piano playing at the end.
In my opinion one of the best short videos of the pre-RUclips age. Will live in my memory til' I die. Respect.
what is dead may never die.
Andrew Dale on toonami's midnight run special edition, they put this short n placed Hellbent by Kenna playing in the background. Check it out :-)
krazydude785 Cool thanks man! I will check it out
Kenna - Hell bent was originally the song to this video
@@mykayott6376 "Elegia" by New Order, the song playing in this video is the original.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_(1998_film)
anyone else remember seeing this mixed with kenna's "hellbent" sometime in the early 2000's? possibly on adult swim?
Yes sir! It was toonami for me. think I was like 8 years old.
Yes I remember someone else used it I only remember two lines controlling me .. please help me find it
Yes I remember someone else used it I only remember two lines controlling me .. please help me find it
@@DavidGarcia-nb7ly almost impossible to find the one with Hellbent. It's definitely not on YT.
I got to this and was trying to find out that song and artist
This film was the first thing I thought about after watching the Apple Vision Pro reveal.
Robin William's life comes to mind when I watch this video. He gave out so much of his happiness to others, that in the end there was none left for himself.
He had dementia. He loved life. He didn’t run out of happiness, he couldn’t handle the disease he was suffering with.
I don't understand the movie.could you tell me story briefly,just the abstract
@@Sonnythecrazy1990 People are still running with the "He killed himself because of depression" angle.
@@Sonnythecrazy1990 But in the disease there was no peace. I agree it wasn't JUST depression, he didn't want to suffer or deteriorate. But the feeling is much the same....he had nothing inside him to stop the disease.
@@himaloyshadhin9958 A man lives in a colorless world, and spends all his time toiling away at a dehumanizing job. Secretly, he works on an invention that can change how we see the world. He puts everything he has into making it, and he eventually succeeds. His invention makes the world seem beautiful and vibrant, though it's only an illusion and it doesn't last very long.
The invention brings him massive wealth and fame, but it costs him the passion that got him there. So now he's rich, but also empty and alone. The final shot of the film shows us the first and only characters in the film that are truly in color; a group of children playing in a playground.
The thing that he was chasing all along was not money or fame, but the innocence of youth. And he failed, because that's something no one can ever have back.
Made me cry a bit. I was 18 when I first saw this and it changed my out look on life.
It showed me that if you gain it all, become successful but forget what got you there, you'll lose the fire inside ur soul
I think the thing that I take from this the most is the end. The narrator has made this product 'Bliss' for himself and everyone else to cope through every day living to make it bearable and enjoyable, but the kids at the end don't need this illusion, life is already bliss for them.
Exactly what I was thinking!
The best short film I've ever seen. I still feel the same deep depression after watching it for the first time.
So true
Watching this short film was a core memory for me. I have no clue how I came across it. Like many others, I stumbled onto it one night as a young child in the early days of The Internet. I wasn't sure what I was watching. All I know is that I thought the animation was cool, but the world looked so drab and cold and that made me sad. I didn't understand why.
Fast-forward some 20+ years later, this song comes up in my shuffled music playlist. Immediately, all the memories come flooding back. The striking visuals and the melancholy music had stuck with me all these years without realizing it. I remembered the lil' stop-motion humanoid with his goggles and his ~furnace projector gut~. I looked up Elegia and saw reddit comments that brought me right to this video.
This song brings me to tears every time I listen to it. The outro complements it fantastically as well. The whole production elicits such strong emotions. It's thought-provoking long after the 6 minutes are over. And it hits that much harder now as an adult, watching it with jaded eyes. I've lived this story firsthand (albeit without the fame and fortune). I've felt those same creative life forces sucked out of me, working mundane desk jobs. MORE tells a cautionary tale. One that I was sadly too young to appreciate at first, but now I can relate all too well.
I'm glad I found this film again. And I don't throw this term around very often, but it's a masterpiece as far as I'm concerned. I can't think of any other piece of multimedia that assaults me with a barrage of feelings all the way through like MORE does. It makes me feel numb, terrified, nihilistic, elated, and optimistic all within quick succession. It makes me crave *more* out of life. This is what art is all about.
I feel you.
@jigglypoof I love how everyone who sees this video cannot ever forget it like it’s engrained in our brains
This sits in my head rent free for probably 20+ years now. I still relentlessly hunt for a video that just shows people relentlessly painting things red or blue yet nothing changes.
As best as I can tell, and I could be wrong. This is about finding happiness within. The inventor worked a dead end job for the system, all the while dreaming of happiness. He thought if I could capture it and sell it; I could be rich, I could be the boss and I would be happy. So he invested his life and happiness into making the product, he became the boss, and rich by creating the illusions of happiness. At the end he found the price he paid was his happiness. His invention and being rich and powerful did not make him happy. It's about the illusion we as adults buy into that makes us think if we could only be richer, and be the boss, be powerful we will be happy. And once we have achieved it, then we realize that we traded our happiness to get it. But hey that is just my take on it
My interpretation is drastically different. I only see the true expression of self in the innocent children on the spinning merry-go-round. The boss, the workers, and the society at large are woefully living as zombies. To escape, one would need to revert back to their child-self by stripping away all of the programming that the poisoned society as implanted in their minds. It's not about happiness. The Happy Goggles are actually part of the problem in many ways. The goggles go from Happy to Bliss, but the goggles provided neither true happiness nor true bliss. The happiness goggles made slave life more bearable, which actually causes the slavery to continue. It is a vicious cycle. Perhaps the saddest part of all is that the children at the very end, riding on the merry-go-round with their color (essence) still intact, are almost assuredly going to get turned into zombies as they get older. They will be turned grey by society.
first explanation: good
second explanation: DURR CAPITALISM BAD DURR PHONE ZOMBIES PHONE ZOMBIES HUH HUH I SMART I SMART
You clearly don't understand anything I wrote and you're unable to articulate the salient points of my message. Instead, you've resorted to condensing the message down to something it isn't. If you think my message has anything to do with "capitalism", then you should read it over because you're absolutely wrong and I never once mentioned capitalism. If you think my message has anything to do with "phone", then you really have reading comprehension issues because I never once used the word "phone" in my comment. If you think my message was about me being "smart", then I'd argue that I never tried to show off my wits; I simply wrote down my perspective of the video.
In fact, the only keyword you mentioned that has any relevance to what I wrote is "zombies", which is strange because the grey people could easily be seen as zombies/slaves. They've lost their inner color that they had when they were just kids playing. They've lost their uniqueness, their sense of wonder, and their imagination because society molded them that way. They work to live and live to work. They are living in a dystopian society with a dominance hierarchy. They are slave laborers being controlled by their master (i.e. the boss).
It's obvious that they don't like their working conditions, but they don't know how to escape the oppression.
In fact, they've been mentally programmed by society to think that this is all normal. The advertising for Happy googles on the sides of buses in an otherwise grey city. The life is being systematically syphoned out of them. They can't even imagine on their own or be happy (blissful) without the googles. Their lives are so empty, depressing, and fucked up that they'd rather put on the googles than deal with the truth. For these reasons I call them zombies or slaves.
Why would anyone assume that a third world country is better or purer by default? Third world countries can come with a litany of problems. I'm confident that a war-torn region is going to sap the life out of people. Regions without potable drinking water, education, nutritious foods, or modern medical facilities are going to suffer because of these sorts of problems. You'd have to look at a specific region in order to determine how well they are doing on the whole. How we measure some region to be better or purer depends on the principles and criteria that we use. I don't want to get into that discussion here, but suffice to say there are many factors to consider.
Michael Harbach I really like your logic way of thinking. 👍🏻
This feels so prophetic now that we see all these videos of people wearing Apple Visions in public.
This is exactly why I came back to watch this again today. I feel like this short is becoming reality more and more every day.
I have been searching for this for 15 years! Thank you so much for uploading it. I remember seeing it on Sci Fi loooong ago as a kid, and fell in love with it.
The dilemma of searching for anything on the internet called "More"
I thought it was called "happy" and found it by searching for such.
Me too. The music was stuck in my head since then and it again came to the fore front of my mind. Delighted to find it. Epic short 👍😊
2002 i worked a sports store this video was on the store TV & i never saw again till now by googling 'cgi doll needs its glowing soul ' thanks for posting.
I saw this first time at 2002-2003. took me 14 years to find. Now i come to see this everyday :)
This video has been stuck in my conscious since the first day I watched it.
Why this hasn't hit over 5 million views I will never know...
Should hit 50 million - SHARE THE LINK! Tell your friends to share it also. i just shared it on FaceBook. This stuff should be seen.
This could quite possibly be the best short film in creation.
I believe it is. It sums up humanity pretty well
It's 2023 and this still matters so much to me. Everytime I need to remind myself about my purpose in life, I come back to watch It.
I feel incredibly deep emotion whenever I watch this.
Kenna - Hell bent was originally the song to this video
@@mykayott6376 thank you! I remember there being music when watching this as a kid on the tv
One of the greatest short film ever made.
This is the first thing I thought of when I saw the ad for Apple Vision Pro
I always thought the Kenna music video for 'Hellbent' was made for the song because it fit so well. This just blew my mind that it was it's own short film
Artist - New Order - Album - Low Life = ruclips.net/video/MRnRuMxQYg8/видео.html
same
Thank you! Kenna was the other video I have been looking for for years now. Thanks honestly.
@@jpeoples (me checking this channel 6 years later) Oh, lookie!
Good to know Im not batshit and remembered this being set to a Kenna song. Holy hell Im 15 again.
Could not find this for the longest time but remembered "Bliss products". There is a moral here.
I just refound this short after seeing it on Exposure episode 1 forever ago. I never thought I'd see it again. It's still just as moving now as it was then. Truly a timeless masterpiece.
Still relevant. I've watched this since I was a child.
Absolutely brilliant short film!! to me this is the story of us all searching for happiness, the happiness we had as a youth that we lost somewhere along our life path. The inventor is living an unfulfilled life...he is inspired to create the Bliss product, fame and fortune come his way and the accolades of creating this invention. But he soon realizes that not only did he lose a part of himself in the process...he is left with even more emptiness than he felt before. all the success he attained..made the void in him even bigger.... Thank you Mark Osborne for showing this truth we all live in.
Yeah this short changed how I thought about life
I don’t think any visual in my lifetime has captivated me, indulged me over and over again as much as this film.
I want to thank Mark for this art that has given me hope, reality checks, kept me in touch with reality, emotional strength, and mental stability since 2009.
I have shown this to everyone I care about and it has made them a better person and/or made them appreciate what they have.
Finally found this again after 20 years. Amazing short film. Shows you what's really important.
I'm glad I did, too. About 10 years ago I first saw this clip. After a while, I had forgotten both the video and the soundtrack. And then, a lot of time later, I heard this music on Stranger Things... I don't know why, but I cried while watching. Now I am 30 years old.
"Nothing lasts forever" #LongLiveJoker 🕊️
what's theother video they put up?
This Hits Different in your 40s
Depressingly wonderful
I saw this back when I was young and could never find if again till now. It's Beautiful. Thank you Mark Osborne
Saw this in 8th grade
Sometimes the biggest price we pay for our dreams of fame and fortune is the same thing we hold dearest. The innocence and happiness we have by staying close to our memories of being the better, joyous, carefree and energetic person when we were younger...
I first saw this at an age of 11 on Toonami as the music video from Kenna. It was not the first nor the last time I had seen the ugly of this world and the people in it, but it remains to this day one of the rawest displays of how cruel and evil everything and everyone can (and always has the potential to) be
Seeing something like this that young really fucks up a person
Such a powerful stop motion. Probably the best one I have ever seen.
This is the MASTERPIECE!!!!
it has been freakin 20 years and this short still haunts me......
and it always will haunt us.
It is more haunting because the film is becoming reality.
All the start-up tech bros are watching this, crying onto their i-phone screens...
I first saw this late night on the sci Fi channel when I was in 5th grade and I've never forgotten it and never will. I'm now 33 and just shared this with my roommate and she was just as moved as I was. Truly powerful.
i couldn't remember the name of this, but found it immediately when i searched "short film with trippy goggles"
Marcus LaPorte
Same I just looked up claymation music video
B.F.M.G. there was a song that went with this video years ago I thought like in the 90s
Thanks A million, I finally found it! it's the Kenna version, it's amazing How soo many others have been searching for the same video.
I searched grey sad clay people that found happiness in glasses 👓
I found it by searching Manufacturing Bliss ... but this is not the music i remember being in the video
More is one of my favorite short films of all time. Back in 2000 or so I bought a copy from Mark via an independent film website (I forget which) on VHS. It was one of the first short films I showed my kids when they were little and they were enthralled with it. But what was really cool is that Mark signed it. I still have it squirreled away in my collection.
The imagery where he literally pours himself into making his dream come true, and then at end after he's "succeeded" he's completely empty inside. Very powerful stuff...
I remember seeing it on sci fi as a kid and being completely shaken. Tried like crazy to find a copy, which was a much more difficult thing to do in the 90s and early 00s. Mark Osborne created something truly special here. Easily my favorite short film of all time.
Greatest 6 1/2 minute film of all time. Been a massive fan of this thing since I first saw it on IMAX in the late 90s.
Swoon.
You saw it on IMAX? Jealous.
@@courtneefallonrex It was shot for IMAX, if I remember correctly. I was the coordinator of the LFFA festival and it was a student film chosen to be shot large format and screened at the festival which was held at the California Science Center. This was before there was IMAX everywhere. It was around the time the IMAX Everest movie hit.
My favorite claymation... perhaps even short film... of all time. Knowing that Mark Osborne went on to direct The Little Prince, another film that affected me incredibly deeply, just makes this piece mean even more.
It's 20 years later and look just how prophetic this impressive little animated movie has become. Apple's Vision Pro is here and it is the beginning of people truly becoming lost in an augmented reality.
I saw this video on tv when I was 9 years old and am now 30. I searched for it yesterday and finally found it. It resonated with me all these years.
Same here.
This is hands down the best short movie that ever existed. Words an not describe how perfect it is. What is even more impressive, the message is universal, as the movie does not need any dialogues.
When this song played in Stranger Things, I freaked out. I was instantly reminded of this amazing short film
Me too!
congratulations for creating something that i saw when i was a kid, then one day in my twenties it flickered in my brain, and it sent me on a quest to find it again.
I saw this probably 20 years ago, I vaguely described the video to a friend, he had seen it and was looking for it too. With his help we found it. Thanks internet!
I adore that the children are colorful because it makes so much sense
" something that makes you feel happy can't always have a happy ending"
This movie began a perspective-shift in my life, years ago. I now help others in addictions where they've lost sight of real joys in life, like I had. We're surrounded by tons-of-blessings that our child-like selves enjoyed, but forgot about and...while growing up, probably began belittling. If you doubt, see Mark's recent remake of "The Little Prince" -- an awesome story. See how that makes you rethink your perspective about life and what you're missing. I don't know Mark but wish I did. I'd encourage him about the path he's mindful of.... something we could all use huge doses of. :D
I’ve been searching for this for like 10 years
Kojima you gave me flashbacks to this. Thanks.
Mookae5
Sans lingua franca
Wow, this was incredibly deep and thought provoking
I keep coming back to this. It has stuck with me since i first saw it 20 some odd years ago.
Same.
R.I.P Jokers Stash 😢🃏
Yes one of my all time favorites. Mark Osborne made this film in his garage too ! Man is genius director and writer. Why hasnt this gone completely viral is beyond me !
Today is the first time I've seen this. Talk about impact, talk about still being relevant, talk about art. Fantastic production.
Well it’s 2023. Anyone else think this is a commercial for the Apple Vision Pro!?😢😂
I saw this 5 years ago. When i watched stranger things it really made me appreciate the show even more when i heard elgia..
Same
Master piece 18 years ago. Masterpiece now.
I saw this in college for the first time. I remember being stopped. Just stopped dead. I come back to it at least once a year. It gets more and more relevant the older I get for different reasons and my heart is broken. This time was the worst so far…
I feel like this should be required viewing in school. A lot is said in 6 minutes.
Влюбился в эту короткометражку еще 4 года назад и все еще обожаю ее. Именно такие вещи должны быть в трендах ютуба. Огромное уважение и благодарность создателю.
Абсолютно согласен. Испытываю море эмоций при каждом просмотре
Жаль что её нет в трендах(( мб быть люди тогда были хоть немного лучше....
.......greatest......short......ever.
This has been my favorite from the moment I saw it, maybe a few years after it was made. The message is spot on and I always loved New Order.
This never fails to move me. I first saw it late at night in an empty lab in the engineering building while I was "taking a break" from working on my engineering capstone project. I don't know how many times I've watched it now, but the meaning, for me, continues to change as I grow older.
He was searching for happiness when it was always inside of him.
At the end of the film, we're left feeling just as empty as he does.
This short film is excellent.
I first saw this film as part of the "Midnight Run" special on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network. I found it to be very profound, a six minute film touches very deeply on the subject of enlightenment itself. The film is best shown set to Kenna's "Hellbent" just as it was on Cartoon Network. Together, they touched me very deeply.
I have a degree in architecture, and spent 33 years in the development profession. I supervised literally hundreds of people. Every boss/manager/director/company owner should watch this and LEARN from it. Mark Osborne, I do not know if you are an artist or a business owner , or both, but you have produced GOLD!
This short film is a chilling masterpiece. Every time I re-watch it, I gain a new perspective. This time around, I saw the protagonist dissatisfied and unfulfilled with his current life, and as a way of coping he continuously reminisces about blissful memories from his childhood. He yearns for flashes of his past when he was effortlessly joyous with the present. Desperate to share this sense of joy with others, he begins pursuing power and wealth, hoping, ironically, to find happiness in the future. Unfortunately, unlike the carefree children on the merry-go-round who live in the moment, he remains unable to find contentment, caught in a cycle of chasing or longing for the past. Beautiful piece of art.
1999... Majstersztyk jakich mało. Wyzwala naprawdę WIELE skrajnych emocji u odbiorcy.
Też odczułem tego
Honestly, I think this video is anti-drugs. He spends all this time making and experiencing something that's not real, and then realizes that his fabricated joy is not the same as the real joy he experienced as a child.
Interesting interpretation.. I definitely see it more as passion being consumed by greed though.
Stephanie Rideout I could see that too. I think this video is amzing in that it has so many different, valid interpretations.
I saw it for the first time at least 10 years ago, every so often I remember it. It's just that lovely!
+Stephanie Rideout Yeah, I think so too! When I first watch it, I immediately rewatched it two more times. Then sent it to four other people.
It really is interpretable. I've seen and read a lot of people's different takes on the video.
What it said to me is take care of your heart. One can just as easily lose their heart as they can pour it into something good.
This is the movie that inspired me become a filmmaker. I watched it in college and it changed my life.
I’ve been lucky enough to have produced a few short films now, and every single one of them is heavily influenced by “More.”
Thank you to the great Mark Osborne for this timeless banger.
You'll be in real estate in a few years.
Mark, if you ever read this, I've been coming back to this video for 10 years and it just never seems to leave my mind. Thank you for creating something so fascinating and beautiful.
I absolutely love this short film. I've watched it over and over, and it never ceases to amaze me.
I've been hunting down this video for years. When I first saw it, I was about 10 years old going on 11. It was before Adult Swim took over the graveyard time slots for Cartoon Network, back when Toonami was still around as well as Toonami Midnight Run. It aired on August 31st 2001 and was hyped the entire month. At the time, I was the most interested in hearing The Gorillaz for the first time as well as the full music videos of Daft Punk. I was not, however, expecting to see this extremely moving animated short at the end of it all. Instead of the music you hear here, it was set to Hellbent by Kenna.
I'd like to think that night changed me. It changed my perspective on music and a lot of other things. It made me a Gorillaz fan before Demon Days made it "cool" to be one. But more than anything else, this video tied everything together. It's a message that should be heard throughout the ages, especially in today's corporate landscape, and should be looked upon as a cautionary tale.
Ok I was starting to think I was crazy because I knew this from the Adult Swim version with Hellbent and when I heard this music I was like "woah. This isn't right!" Glad someone else has seen the adult swim version too! And damn I've been in love with Gorillaz ever since that time!
Right- The video was how I first started listening to the Kenna. Can't find the video with Hellbent anymore
i remember seeing it MTV in like '99 with Hellbent. I always assumed it was the official music video for that song.
@@heartbravado1 You're not alone. First saw this on Adult Swim too.
@@havechanged someone put it on Daily Motion

I first saw this around 2003 before RUclips on some early proto-streaming music video service (can't remember the name of it). I was about 25. The video really made an impression on me, and for many years I had tried, and failed, to rediscover it online. I thought I might never see it again...until this morning, I Googled 'music video 2003 robots glasses', and I was able to find it in the first search result. I'm amazed I finally rediscovered it!
I quit my dead end job of 9 years after watching this. It's one of the best videos I've ever seen. Thank you Mark Osborne! :-)
Maybe Kojima saw this and thought "This is what my career has become." Hence why he decided to use this song in the MGSV E3 2015 trailer.
Also the protagonist becomes the villain at the end. Which may be another reason
+Johnathan Wells dude
.. i fucking hate you i hope you get fucking ass cancer or something. I didnt played it yet.
That's literally the entire premise of the marketing campaign. If you are a series veteran you saw this story coming from a mile away, he didn't spoil anything.
ArianTPL Chill out dude it's just a game. Didn't they teach you to not wish other people's death?
Also, that's literally the main point of the marketing campaign, if you don't know that it's because of your own fault.
Johnathan Wells Fuck you too. Btw, Han Solo dies in The Force Awakens, in Fallout 4 your son is a villain and you have to kill him.
A powerful short movie about materialism for material sake. Great music, much hard work to put this together. A great commentary on the sad people that think material goods, money, will bring happiness. Very insightful. This movie is not anti-materialistic. It is just an observation - of an aspect of human nature for some. Not all people value material over real happiness.
I saw this once when I was around 10-11 and it made a lasting impression on me. For almost 20 years I've been looking for this. When RUclips was newer I was trying endlessly for years to find it. I thought it was from a music video so I kept looking up claymation music videos and could never find it. I eventually gave up looking and then today I remembered it again and typed in claymation music videos from the 90's and it came up as the First option in the search results, I couldn't believe it! Lol ❤ It's so well done and it was really nice to *Finally* find it again, even though it's very melancholy.. but contemplative, reflective and deep. I'm so glad you decided to upload the video, I would have always wondered about it and yearned to see it again. Thank you! Amazing work & video! 😊🩵💛
Most influential piece of media I have ever watched. I watched it late one night on my public station by chance when I was 13 and I have never been the same since. I’m grateful that this film exits, it’s timeless and true art
20+ years ahead of its time.
I saw this once years ago, and I think of it every so often, but I hadn't been able to find it again until today. Saved to my favorites now, so I'll never lose it again. Thanks for the art.♥
stash will live forever
Thank you, Mark for teaching me to be myself instead of trying to emulate other people.
The only way to not let the creative flame go out is to not do what you do for praise.
"I WAS BORN IN A SMALL VILAGE "
me too.. did they also had a Oil Factory?
maybe?
"LANGUAGE"
It was raided by soldiers...
"FOREIGN SOLDIERS"
We can never regain the carefree joy of youth, okay. Thanks for that depressing reminder.
+Ruairoquai well, I like to think it's all in the way you look at it. You can see it as a cautionary tale, meant to help guide you along your way, or a depressing, inevitable prediction of your future. You choose!
+HappyProductCorp hey man. can you make another short like this? Take a break from kung fu panda. this shit was amazing
+DISPENCERY7 my latest movie is coming out March 18th in theaters, it is called The Little Prince -- go check it out!
+HappyProductCorp Oh for real?! Hell yea! Playing in theaters everywhere? I'm excited
+HappyProductCorp I first saw this on the Sci-fi Channel (pre-"syfy") many years ago. I loved it then and it has not lost it's impact. Thank you. And Congratulations on the Little Price! I can't wait to see it!
I love that this transcends language and culture entirely. Something that conveys a universal message to any person who watches it from any part of the world, however they may interpret it, is probably one of the highest achievements to be had as an artist (in my opinion of course). Great work, Mark.
I come back to this every now and then.
It's been a while since the last time.
A big thank you to Mark Osborne for directing both my favorite animated short in More and my favorite Dreamworks film in Kung Fu Panda. Your work has given me joy and the drive to work on my own artistic projects. Very interested to see The Little Prince when it gets wide release as well.
I've been looking for this video so looong!!!
I remember seeing this video on TV or on the computer like mid 2000s. Fast forward 15 years. Took me a few hours of googling different words like factory, gray, etc to find it
I was wondering when this gem would show up in my life again, haven't seen it in over 20 years...
I remember seeing this on the internet shortly after it was released. It was small, pixelated, and incredibly moving.
I've been trying to remember what it was called and I just stumbled upon it recently.
