I forgot to mention; Yeah, the 2 kids at the end of the short are the 2 kids from Being Pretty. The boy is even playing with his dinosaurs seen in "No Monsters". Also, that moment is where his fear of Freaks came from. I guess these turned out to be more connected than I intented.
boawesomeness the awesome, The anti-gravity stuff was supposed to represent the unexplainable. It was the only way I could think of doing it without asking too many other questions. The world around the Traveller had to not make sense (without being too frustrating to the viewer) but there is nothing he can do about it and he has to accept it. It's my exaggerated, surreal version of this; 13:00
The Gospel Music in the background really sells it (edit: it's not gospel music, it just sounds exactly like music they'd play at church also I don't know how else to describe it otherwise)
Even if this is the last Autodale animation it leaves everything kind of open ended but it still seems like a satisfying ended, it leaves so much stuff unanswered and makes us fill in the blanks ourselfs... and sometimes that’s a good thing
4:55 "We also investigated some abandoned railway tunnels which ultimately didn't really amount anything in the short." The second animation after this one 'Friendly Shadow': features sewers and tunnels. It seemed they did amount something after all.
I really don't think he should the shorts setting works because you don't know much about it if he explains a bunch with a prequel he would need excellent writing (which can't be guaranteed) or it would be a massive disappointment
Ok, I have two ideas for you and they can be summed up as A Beginning or An Ending. The Beginning would naturally the story of how the cities and the matriarchs first came to be, what happened to the world, were did everything go so wrong. The Ending would be the fall of Autodale, all the other cities have fallen everyone else is apparently dead so Autodale seams to be already on borrowed time. And you can even have people question weather it was a good thing or bad that the last totalitarian bastion should fall leaving nothing standing between the humans and the freaks.
"This is the story of my teenage years, just with added monsters, giant cyborgs, and floating snails." Don't know about you, but my teenage years included all those things.
-"I'm not going to pretend that I'm some wise old man now, who's got everything figured out. Far from it, I'm constantly re-evaluating everything I think about, I'm only 22 after all"- I'm 22 right now and I just wanted to thankyou for saying that, I think I needed to hear it from someone else
I'm not saying being pretty was in any way not great, but I think a big part of its impact is that its our introduction to this world. I was stunned when the mass graves were revealed and the confirmation that this world was not so pretty. You can't copy that first impact
I don’t think the cut made him into a “freak”, but rather the perception of each person to one another. People that grew up in the city “autodale” viewed him as a “freak” because they had never seen someone like him before, as they only follow the cycle of life the robots had set up. I think that he viewed others similar like him as a freak because he felt different, left out on certain parts of his life, just like the author said the character was based on himself.
i first found your videos when you made being pretty. im so glad that dont feed the freaks found its way into my recommended list so i could find this channel again and finally subscribe. I've binged watched all your short films and even some of your sculpting videos. youre such a creative guy and youre definitely going to go far. please never stop doing what youre doing because your videos are honestly so inspiring.
man i just wanna say, you are my favourite artist. your style is so unique and recognizable and there's so much depth in every drawing and short. there's so much to unpack and i think about your films, and the worlds they take place in on a daily basis. i've been wanting to see these "freaks" for a long time now, and you did not disappoint. i cant wait for part two of this "making of". this is amazing work dude, i can only dream to be as good as you some day at story telling through art.
I Love Autodale so much, but I love these videos just as much. It’s incredibly interesting to see how you created this world. Thank you, David, thank you so much for the gift of giant robo-zombies and cyber perfectionists.
Wait... your just 22? How can you be 4 years younger than me? 😨 But well, besides that, I want to thank you for this video. Now I can see what you intended and I'm less confused. I can see what you mean with everybody is a stranger, a freak; some crule and some nice. I was just like you, when I was a kid. Growing up in germany those days as a girl who liked boysstuff was challenging! People saw and called me a freak. I was strange in there eyes with my allergics and my sickness... Your so happy for having a supportiv family by your side and not having to face everything (and/or everybody) alone like the freaks in your short. But as I'm thinking... when I look at my self and how it made me to the person I am today, and I'm calling myself out to be a freak... does the freaks see each other as monsters as well? Or do they see people and for that are seeing more than the normal people? Well, enough of my thinking at 2:15am in the morning. ^^ Greets from Germany
@@zessh.9669 I think they know that, using 'man' in the context they are using is like that of a phrase. Not really referring to gender. Not trying to be mean, just mentioning it ^^
I love his “making of” videos. When I was watching them sometimes i didn’t pick up everything he wanted the audience to. Just seconds into his explanation that whole video made more sense to me.
Hi! I’m an aspiring artist. I just wanted you to know, well, I can’t really describe how much of an inspiration you are to me. Dystopian futures, apocalypses, dinosaurs, freaks, and robots are my favorite and I hope to be able to draw them. Your sculptures are even better, they’re extremely detailed and beautiful. Even your humor cracks me up, it’s really the little things. I hope to be half as skilled as you one day!
Will you ever publish your idea journal? It's seems amazing and very interesting to read, to see your thoughts and how you come up with your ideas. And your drawings are the perfect type of illustration it needs. Please, if you ever think about it, I strongly recommend.
I can't personally relate to your homeschool life completely, but I find it cool how your story connects to it. How it overall reflects in a very creative way, and that you're now pretty open about it. I can personally connect to the story, in terms of being seen as an outcast, odd, and for me that treatment encouraging me to look toward the outside world more. Even if you might be stuck on if you will continue with this series, the 4 episodes alone are all amazing and nothing of what I see too much of! Can't wait to see more intriguing stories of yours
Love the fact that the freaks are implied to be people who think differently. Essentially uglies who are ok with the fact they're the way they are, or who don't even know it.
I'll take the chance and say I really appreciate your work. I really love how much love and care you put into all your projects and hope to see many more in the future. I can relate as someone who'd be called a 'freak' by some others.
The ending to this video, (before the DVD bit XD) where he massively opened up about his childhood was amazing. Not only was he brave, he explained so much of his reasoning behind the short. It made it even more sentimental, and I personally thought he was so courageous to do that. Well done David, I've been following this series and have been thoroughly satisfied and impressed. Whatever comes next for you, I can't wait to see what you make. :)
Take all the time you need, I can't imagine how long and how much effort it must take you. Also I love this story so much, I would rather watch something that you are really are proud of than watch a video of something that may not go with the story. I love your work! And if watching it means waiting a whole year, count me in😊!
You have a bigger personality then most of people I know together. I've never thought any of soul breaking experience like this can be made into something as far as wonderful as your art. You truly are an inspiration, tho I get why you might not think that. I even love your making of videos more then the actual shorts, because seeing the world through your eyes is truly a experience. Sorry for making this so long.
I love everything about all your work, and the clear, but deep and important messages behind it all. I also love hearing about your artistic process behind designing the characters and environments in the shorts. Everything you make is beautiful and unique and I cant wait to see what more you do. Keep doing the great work you do and thank you for sharing it with us!!!
you are such great animator and artist you deserve way more attention and I love your art style and dystopian story/idea it's amazing. Oh yea i saw that female titan drawing in the background in one of ur vids (I forgot, sorry) and it was crazy good. u could maybe do the fall or escape of the matriarch in your next vid.
I love this series so much! And I love how you give us inside scoops on the process and behind the scenes it's so interesting and I feel like it even makes the series more interesting when you know where it all came from. Great work, I can't wait for more ~
YES! It's here! I have been waiting for this after the short film came out^^ You are amazing for making those short films and sharing them with us :) thank you very much! I do hope you might get inspiration for another of the series cause I love it and would love to see more^^ but if you don't, I don't think I am unhappy with this end, so no pressure :) just happy I got to see the story at all^^
How can some one dislike this,this just proves that he puts his heart and soul into his works, and it is amazing and thank you for your art and your short films and pleaze continue with your work!
Something I love about the writing in your shorts is that they work metaphorically and literally. Like the freaks are both horrid mutated monsters with a kind side and just people that our protagonist sees as strange and dangerous. Both interpretations work and I like to think it's a little of both.
David: "I'm actually a DVD copy of Spiderman 2" Me: "I fucking knew it" I love you're Autodale series and your other short films! I'm very excited to see what else you make in the future. Also I love these "how I made" videos
I'm so pleased to be watching this in November 2020 with the COVID lockdown giving this a slightly different perspective. Loneliness is rampant, changes and fears about change. You are 24 now David, I'm 55 this week and still learning about myself. Thanks for sharing this part of your life with all your friends.
Having everything figured out isn't all there is to wisdom. Goodness knows Uncle Iroh, from Avatar The Last Airbender didn't have everything figured out for the majority of the series. He was homeless, and barely even understood how much he needed Zuko, for the first half of the series! Yet wise he was. Just understand that, David.
Thanks dude I've seen Autodale and just started making my character holding an "exceptional" mask in the middle of her face only showing an eye and the mouth. Autodale is just great. New sub.
All those fallen cities and the dead Monarchs are one of the strangest details in the short film. Why are the cities in ruins? What killed the Monarchs? What was the Monarch used a cover by the traveller running from? The reason behind the dead Monarchs could be 1 of 3 things: 1. Each city and its Monarch were overthrown by a revolution. 2. A huge event caused the downfall of each city and its Monarch. 3. Each city and its Monarch eventually died on its own. Anyway, I love your work, the fact that there's so much lore packed in there, makes it even more fun to watch! Keep it up!
David, you are an amazing storyteller! Especially for one so young (I'm 46.) You've been through some shit, which you have used so wonderfully in your animations. I know this comment is a year late, and I just watched your 19 minute Autodale epic, but I sincerely hope you continue your work. It is beautiful, sad, compelling and even hopeful.
Honestly this story is the most amazing shorts I've seen yet, i have to say the lack of any back story and the very way its controlled is what helps add to the uniqueness. Ibhope even after you make the next one you will one day come back to the awesome story you've created
It was very unexpected and beautiful journey that I went through. "Being pretty" just catched my eye on the front page of the youtube and I was surprised by the idea of it. When it came to the "No mosters", "Children's Toys" and "Dont feed the freaks". After Ive watched all of that incredible piece of art I found all "Making of" videos. Its one of the most amazing storytelling Ive ever seen. The way that the autor spoke and showed how and WHY all these stories were created amazed me. A whole new world can be built out of the one person's imagination. Thank you so much for that incredible journey!
I appreciate taking the time to open up about your personal life and how it's influenced your beautiful work. I've only just discovered it, but it's wonderful.
I think what you’ve achieved with the “Autodale” serie is quite amazing! I’m looking forward to your future project! And when I hear you say you’re only 22, I think to myself : “Wow! He is so young! So gifted!” And then I remind myself that I’m about the same age as you (23) and that I just lack the confidence to open up my world to others! I guess I’m a Freak too in my own way! Well, anyway, just wanted to say that your work is very inspiring and that I’m really amazed about how deep your thinking process is! Makes me feel happy and less lonely! Makes me feel like I’ve found a “friend”! Merci!
Wow. This is some really deep stuff. Different angles of perspectives of different people and How their experiences change their perception. And their world around them. I want to learn to animate and this is a great insight of How i should find inspiration. You’re the greatest bro
Damn, the story of your childhood really hit home for me. I wasn't ever bullied, but around the time I was 9 or 10, we started jumping from house to house quite a bit, I wasn't in any public school, and the little circle of friends I had at the time had started moving away. I spent 8 years pretty much bumming around home and dicking around online. I joined a charter school when I was 17, and I had the same experience, where I was looking for friends, and seeing freaks all around me. Eventually, I started talking around, and I met quite a few people who I first saw as freaks, and now one of them is one of my best friends. I thoroughly enjoyed the animation, but after hearing your story, I think I enjoy it even more.
I never actually thought of the kind of "backstory" of this story of society ! Now that you mention it I kind of have this "realization" moment about being bullied and seeing others as freaks and the freaks also see you like that! Honestly I love your videos this need more attention :3 I am already hype for the second part :D ☆
Man, watching your "Making of" videos, I just wish I had 1% of your drawing skill, story writing skill, software skill, your patience, commitment, and talent. I have never seen a person doing it all by himself. Hell, these works look like PROJECTS that have many people involved: story writer, animator (2D and 3D), sound recorder, editor, voice actor, etc. It's sad to discover your past. But, I think, there is a great thing coming out of that. You have been able to perfect the skills and talents inside you, and that's admirable. Please keep doing this. You're doing it great. Wish you the best!
I forgot to mention; Yeah, the 2 kids at the end of the short are the 2 kids from Being Pretty. The boy is even playing with his dinosaurs seen in "No Monsters". Also, that moment is where his fear of Freaks came from.
I guess these turned out to be more connected than I intented.
I wanna see a story on how or where the "freaks" came from.
I love how you chose parting glass to end off the video
The creatures probably dont realize they look like that.And the guy doesn't realize he's one.Thats probably how it should be.
Please explain the entire anti gravity grass thing
boawesomeness the awesome,
The anti-gravity stuff was supposed to represent the unexplainable. It was the only way I could think of doing it without asking too many other questions. The world around the Traveller had to not make sense (without being too frustrating to the viewer) but there is nothing he can do about it and he has to accept it.
It's my exaggerated, surreal version of this; 13:00
“I guess I should come clean with you. I’m not actually a lizard. I’m a dvd copy of Spider-Man 2”

Even if this is the last Autodale animation it leaves everything kind of open ended but it still seems like a satisfying ended, it leaves so much stuff unanswered and makes us fill in the blanks ourselfs... and sometimes that’s a good thing

If you come back to the series, could you do a prequel?

I totally agree with you. "Don't Feed the Freaks" is my favorite film of the ones you've made.
he probably will make a better one so

The cut turned him into a freak
IT'S A DISEASE!
Actually, that makes Sense, he would look totally normal without it, but the cut makes him look like a “freak”

You are 24 now David, I'm 55 this week and still learning about myself. Thanks for sharing this part of your life with all your friends.
Having everything figured out isn't all there is to wisdom. Goodness knows Uncle Iroh, from Avatar The Last Airbender didn't have everything figured out for the majority of the series. He was homeless, and barely even understood how much he needed Zuko, for the first half of the series! Yet wise he was.
Just understand that, David.
Thanks dude I've seen Autodale and just started making my character holding an "exceptional" mask in the middle of her face only showing an eye and the mouth. Autodale is just great. New sub.
aw what an adorable leopard gecko you have

All those fallen cities and the dead Monarchs are one of the strangest details in the short film.
Why are the cities in ruins? What killed the Monarchs? What was the Monarch used a cover by the traveller running from?
The reason behind the dead Monarchs could be 1 of 3 things:
1. Each city and its Monarch were overthrown by a revolution.
2. A huge event caused the downfall of each city and its Monarch.
3. Each city and its Monarch eventually died on its own.
Anyway, I love your work, the fact that there's so much lore packed in there, makes it even more fun to watch! Keep it up!
Wow, for a spider-man 2 dvd, you are an amazing artist! Keep up the good work!
David, you are an amazing storyteller! Especially for one so young (I'm 46.) You've been through some shit, which you have used so wonderfully in your animations. I know this comment is a year late, and I just watched your 19 minute Autodale epic, but I sincerely hope you continue your work. It is beautiful, sad, compelling and even hopeful.
Do a short about one of the city’s fall, include the matriarch “escaping” drawing you did a while back
I absolutely adore your art. Your animations, illustrations, sculptures, videos, voice acting. All of it.
"I have been a lizard this whole time."
Me: A lizard draws better than me. TwT
Your art is interesting and your ideas are amazing and scarily relatable.
Your work is so fantastic. I could see this turned into a feature-length film or a short series on Netflix.
Honestly this story is the most amazing shorts I've seen yet, i have to say the lack of any back story and the very way its controlled is what helps add to the uniqueness. Ibhope even after you make the next one you will one day come back to the awesome story you've created
Hiiii love your vids can't believe how you put soooooo much work into your shorts and are still animating k byee
what you do with love and give away part of your soul, makes love your creativity for other people. best I've seen

It was very unexpected and beautiful journey that I went through. "Being pretty" just catched my eye on the front page of the youtube and I was surprised by the idea of it. When it came to the "No mosters", "Children's Toys" and "Dont feed the freaks". After Ive watched all of that incredible piece of art I found all "Making of" videos. Its one of the most amazing storytelling Ive ever seen. The way that the autor spoke and showed how and WHY all these stories were created amazed me. A whole new world can be built out of the one person's imagination.
Thank you so much for that incredible journey!
Also, i loved the short! Keep up he good work!
I appreciate taking the time to open up about your personal life and how it's influenced your beautiful work. I've only just discovered it, but it's wonderful.
I think what you’ve achieved with the “Autodale” serie is quite amazing! I’m looking forward to your future project! And when I hear you say you’re only 22, I think to myself : “Wow! He is so young! So gifted!” And then I remind myself that I’m about the same age as you (23) and that I just lack the confidence to open up my world to others! I guess I’m a Freak too in my own way! Well, anyway, just wanted to say that your work is very inspiring and that I’m really amazed about how deep your thinking process is!
Makes me feel happy and less lonely! Makes me feel like I’ve found a “friend”! Merci!
This was awesome. Don't feed the freaks is definitely your best work so far and I can't wait to see where you go with Autodale.

Wow. This is some really deep stuff. Different angles of perspectives of different people and How their experiences change their perception.
And their world around them.
I want to learn to animate and this is a great insight of How i should find inspiration.
You’re the greatest bro

Damn, the story of your childhood really hit home for me. I wasn't ever bullied, but around the time I was 9 or 10, we started jumping from house to house quite a bit, I wasn't in any public school, and the little circle of friends I had at the time had started moving away. I spent 8 years pretty much bumming around home and dicking around online. I joined a charter school when I was 17, and I had the same experience, where I was looking for friends, and seeing freaks all around me. Eventually, I started talking around, and I met quite a few people who I first saw as freaks, and now one of them is one of my best friends.
I thoroughly enjoyed the animation, but after hearing your story, I think I enjoy it even more.

David are you okay

The effort you put into these films amazes me, keep doing what you’re going,I cannot WAIT to see more!
you and your brother are hilarious!
salutations have you heard of the homosexuals? Oh my gosh!! I have found another admirer of the poto bird!!!! Nice to meet you 😂
Not a lizard, a gecko. An adorable little gecko! It's so cuuute!
Also, I love hearing your thought process behind each animation. It's truly amazing.
Haha anyone see the "Maddie was here" at 7:16. Honestly it about folded me
I never actually thought of the kind of "backstory" of this story of society ! Now that you mention it I kind of have this "realization" moment about being bullied and seeing others as freaks and the freaks also see you like that! Honestly I love your videos this need more attention :3 I am already hype for the second part :D ☆
the freaks are so cute tbh OH MY GOD
Man, watching your "Making of" videos, I just wish I had 1% of your drawing skill, story writing skill, software skill, your patience, commitment, and talent. I have never seen a person doing it all by himself. Hell, these works look like PROJECTS that have many people involved: story writer, animator (2D and 3D), sound recorder, editor, voice actor, etc.
It's sad to discover your past. But, I think, there is a great thing coming out of that. You have been able to perfect the skills and talents inside you, and that's admirable.
Please keep doing this. You're doing it great. Wish you the best!
