ANTEDILUVIAN: EXPLAINED. History + Bestiary + Animation Process

[@MarioLanzas.]

This is a 3 part dissection of the ANTEDILUVIAN animated short (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnnWq4SCYtCrnLM) . Make sure you watch it first if you haven't yet ;). 1st part is a side to side comparison of the animation to the historical pieces that inspired it. This time for a change featuring an alternative sound design, courtesy of Dahkkloud ( www.youtube.com/@Dahkkloudmusic ). 2nd part is a Size comparison format video to list the different creatures that appear in the short 3rd part is the animation process Hope you enjoy it and find it interesting or useful. Thank you all and Happy upcoming new Year!

Do you plan to make a sequel set in the Cenozoic era in the future?

[@germanomagnone]

the "Seals" of the dinosaurs in your video remind me "slightly" of Tim Burton's style (in a positive sense)! and I could title your "ANTEDILUVIAN" portrait: "Adam after the fall!" = that is, when after biting the "fruit of knowledge" he is chased out of Eden and.....let's say he put the fauna of creation in a "bad light"!

[@bradbradthebrad]

I think it would be cool if you made a “sequel” to this film with the depictions of dinosaurs in the 1900s. By that, I mean the Charles R Knight paintings, the old depictions of dinosaurs in movies like in O’Brien and Harryhausen films, etc

[@SAGOTO2006]

@@bradbradthebrad This is also an excellent idea that I would pay to see.

[@bradbradthebrad]

Also another question: why did you choose for the pterosaurs to be reptilian instead of the old marsupial versions of them? (in case anyone didn’t know, pterosaurs were believed to be marsupials back in the day) Was it to make them more monstrous and intimidating?

[@caracol764]

Honestly, frame by frame animation will always have my deepest respect!! Amazing work as always!

[@Red-MagicOrchestra]

I really like the way the old paleoarts characterize these prehistoric animals for some reason. They feel like hulking brutes harboring a visible disdain for life itself while lacking any capacity to become much more than unholy monsters destined to be wiped out by God's judgement.

[@jacobcox4565]

4:55 I like how the Elasmosaurus is based on the E.D. Cope reconstruction that puts the head at the end of the tail.

[@d012k-n5t]

I love the music it feels appropriate

[@joshjames582]

I literally just watched Antediluvian again this morning on a whim, and now I see this in my recommendations. Very nice.

[@bestuan]

Early conceptions of prehistoric life are so fascinating

[@j1ktheparasaurolophus]

I absolutely loved this idea from the moment go. I love how much thought went into this project. Especially with some of the paintings and how they were turned into life. I have seen a few of them but not all of them. If you ever do something like this again, might I make a suggestion of doing something similar but with Charles Knights reconstructions and paintings. In my opinion it would be fascinating to look at.

[@chancegivens9390]

Your Antediluvian is an absolute marvel! So, understanding how it was made, what things inspired it, the oh so appreciated sources, and of course the Bestiary Size compilation are a real treat! I've screenshotted all of these wonderful creatures, and plan on crafting them in articulated figurine form for Stop Motion in the future. Thanks for the more in depth visuals to work with. I plan on rewatching Antediluvian many more times in upcoming years.

[@naturalistwarrior]

05:46 - 09:37 - All I can say is lots and lots and lots and lots of good effort

[@nicholasrobson1430]

Another video on Victorian dinosaurs, I love this. It hits me in the nostalgia because I actually visited crystal palace park as a child.

[@jessepatterson5995]

incredible work Mario

[@slartopod4265]

I think that ANTEDILUVIAN is one my favorites short films

[@gajoandrade6164]

Sos un genio Mario lanzas, esto es una obra maestra, te sigo desde la creación de tu canal y no paro de maravillarme con tu contenido, sos un groso mi hermano 💪💪💪

[@mellokid1899]

Love the effort that you have put in this video, music, sound... Everything is 👍 great !!!

[@Mr.Yensen]

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! the poduction value, the dedication, the design and the whole sequence. This is just... beautiful

[@bibio2001]

mario lanzas um dos melhores artistas que eu ja vi na internet, animação incrivel

[@Ix99oblivion]

Thanks for posting this excellent dissection of your marvelous film!

[@Milanesismo]

What a great work!!!

[@ThisHandleIsDefinatelyTaken]

Thanks for this and the film!

[@anabelenmartinez7424]

Hermoso trabajo ❤

[@zephlodwick1009]

Nice detail drawing Adam for scale, with his bellybutton covered up. For those who don't know, artists long struggled over whether to give the first couple bellybuttons, as, on one hand, they weren't born from another person, but, on the other hand, they wouldn't've been fully human without them. The real question is whether they had innie or outie bellybuttons. And frankly, Adam's very handsome.

[@izael7000]

0:27 Historical curiosity, before the name Pterosauria was given, they were called Pterodactyl. The name was informal, as no pterosaur had been formally named. All pterosaurs ended up being called "Pterodactyl", the one that suffered the most from this was the Genus Pteranodon. That, because it was the most famous Pterosaur, and because it was the most well-known for a long time, it was super saturated in the media, and since everyone called any pterosaur a Pterodactyl... Yeah. Now, there is a mistake by some people,because this story, and the fact that the name Pterodactyl is always associated with Pteranodon, makes many people think that Pterodactyl did not exist as its own genus... You may have seen people saying that Pterodactyl doesn't exist,but it does exist, the species Pterodactylus antiquus, which lived in the Late Jurassic, from 150 to 148 million years ago and some broken numbers. There are two other dubious species.

[@bradbradthebrad]

Is that the reason why there’s like 3 different species of pterodactyls in this, like the small ones (I like to think of them like seagulls), the medium sized ones, and the really big one which is basically a quetzalcoatlus

[@Celibpa01]

Bellissimo come sempre e....MOLTO SUGGESTIVO 😯...... Semplicemente GRAZIE (e complimenti davvero). 🙂🙏🦕🦖 e Buone Feste. 🎄⛪

[@xavenstelmack1411]

You should make your own documentary on prehistoric life.

[@dekaexis]

Me FASCINA todo el trabajo que usted ha puesto en este proyecto, no tengo palabras para describir lo sublime que me parece el corto animado, el dibujo, la animación, las criaturas, todo parece una obra de arte viva, me conmovió tanto ver este trabajo que me siento demasiado inspirado, muchas gracias por haberlo realizado y espero que hayan trabajos así de espectaculares en el futuro!

[@cyclopes683]

this short might just be my favorite thing ever tbh

[@germanomagnone]

Wow, Amazing work 😮😊

[@anonymousg6627]

The animation is so gorgeous, some of the best I’ve seen, so I’m glad to see how the process went. It all felt so familiar, you imitated and expanded on the references so well !!!

[@AlejandroUmbral1]

Increíblemente hermoso y magnífico, muchas gracias y felicidades Mario, eres un verdadero artista de la talla de los grandes

[@lardosfilmes7659]

Gostei muito dessa animação parabéns aos envolvidos 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@jungleblazers1249]

Your art is beautiful. Many people wish they could even draw as good as you, but to animate like you, only the very best can achieve that! Can't wait for whatever you share next.

[@giovanniu.cavallera3829]

Un eccellente video filologico che mostra la minuziosa ricerca che hai fatto per realizzare Antediluvian. Complimenti Mario, e grazie per i tuoi video. An excellent philological video showing the meticulous research you did to make Antediluvian. Congratulations Mario, and thanks for your videos.

[@NotesFromTheVoid]

I was about to ask whether the reports on the state of the fossil record are representative of victorian knowledge or present day knowledge but then Iguanadon came to answer the question, thank you scientists for finding loads of those since the victorian era.

[@mahakalaeliluminado7675]

Me encanta, greetings from San Luis Potosí in México 🇲🇽

[@jahadoom666]

4:28 me recuerda al indoraptor Me encanta como los primeros paleontologos y artistas se imaginaban estas hermosas bestias que una vez pisaron este hermoso planeta y que por obra casi divina desapareciendo solo dejando rastros de su existencias gracias a sus descendientes y tumbas Si se me permite ser un poco supersticioso,para mi las antiguas bestias nunca nos abandonado pues ellos viven como espíritus y en sus descendientes Buen video,ojala saque mas animaciones como antidiluviano Que tengas un buen dia y una Feliz Navidad!

[@TheDinoDemon]

La verdad que es muy interesante observar la evolucion de la paleoarte con el pasar del tiempo

[@RudolphRanchMaster]

Man, you are simply the best. My most sincere respects and admiration for your great art. I hope that inspiration and passion for this topic never ends. I will continue enjoying your work. ❤️🤠

Wow... It's just... Wow...

[@TransformersRID2015]

Great Animation!

[@MatheusCayresdeMello]

It's cruel and it's disgusting, but yet so beautiful and incredible! Congrats, my captain, you are amazing!

[@Jonata_cb2kz]

He is back

[@boggybeard]

Mario, I hope you understand how significant your film is. I have sent it to several of my family members who each appreciated it for a different aspect. Please continue this kind of artistry! Also, I found the alternative audio to be very interesting, but perhaps would fit more so with a harryhausen-esque stop motion film. Tristan Und Isolde was a beautiful choice, and works much better with the art style. I’d love to hear more about how you chose that piece exactly, as it is beautiful, but otherwise rarely associated with dinosaurs. Thanks again for the lovely film!

[@RamdomGuy2007]

Man... this is awesome! Seriously, how were you able to do that?

[@xavenstelmack1411]

3:50 almost looks like a cross between a giant armadillo and a dicynodont.

[@bradbradthebrad]

wish dicynodont was still a turtle :(

[@CON-z8f]

finally You back

[@MoonbaseTV]

i would do anything for more animation like this in the world

[@РоманКарле-м4ы]

Как же интересно выглядели старые реконструкции

[@y21-h5r]

This has so much world building potential

[@YuwarajRai-r2k]

Is terrifying but beautiful at the same time

[@Olorotyrant]

I have the patience for stop motion, but I definitely wouldn't have the patience for traditional animation

[@willydanielmeneses4892]

Without a doubt it is art it is it's highest expression

[@JudeEvans-b7h]

👌

[@dudotolivier6363]

The short you made was really a great one, with really tons of works and efforts put into it, and we can feel it, and really giving an incredible tribute to this part of our Science and History. So, seeing this Making of video is really a good add to show all this even more. Shame the Mary Anning short sequence used for the trailer of this short animated movie wasn't used in this latter itself. Don't know why it was cut/removed from the main movie, but ok. Aside, minors personnals note, I like how Dryptosaurus is depicted and was believed to be back then. It remind a little the Indoraptor from the Jurassic franchise. Or others monsters series B type movies. Ichtyosaurs were really displayed as the masters of the seas back then, looking a lot like Mosasaurs and battling the others marine reptiles. While in real life, while they did decently for most of their lifespan on Earth, Ichtyosaurs would still finally lose against others marine reptiles and been outcompeted by them, as the final blow, after they faced a decline of their order due to changing climate. Overall, really a great short and a good Making of ! 😊

[@sweetsea3607]

What I like about Victorian prehistoric creatures is that they're displaying how knowledge has evolved. Like how some of these creatures would never have met each other because of time and/or location. Even now what factoids do we have that are yet to be noticed?

[@cancel1913]

Wow!

[@dicemice80808]

[@myleswelnetz6700]

Noah, get the boat.

[@kroek259]

is the fossil record in the bestiary based on what we know now or back then?

[@bradbradthebrad]

back then I believe

[@JoseR1207]

Excelente trabajo Mario.👏👏👏🤌 Aún con las actualizaciones del paleoarte de hoy en día, en efecto, el Mesozoico fie la era de los Dragones. 🗿

[@mlgodzilla4206]

Honestly my favorite era of paleontology

When are you gonna announce your next collaborative project and what's it gonna be?😁

[@randomraptor1720]

Cuál es la música que sonaba al final en los créditos del corto?

[@Sepi-chu_loves_moths]

Is the belemnite drilling into the mud creative license or actual paleoart?

[@HernánHilarioDominguez]

Creaste algo muy bello

[@Nasraniksatria]

They will never make dinosaur movies with designs like this today.

[@t-rextheorie9115]

This design can work well as animals a movie or video game on an alien planet.

[@user-hxsowterSamnatTitanis]

OMG We will talk about the old ones in this story.

[@scott-vn]

Good 🧐

[@Weirdturtlein2025]

Dryptosaurus looks like that slender giant creature from Star Wars ngl

[@Noodle-Wizard200]

So where did you find the art refrenced. did you find them in a book or did you just look them up?

[@DeinoWolfhybridhero]

How did evangelion and angel's egg inspire this

'Lol nice, you're the reference human, right? Also, wait, was Mary Anning supposed to appear originally?

[@mlgodzilla4206]

She is in another short, which is the prologue

[@KnightlyNerd]

Absolutely love it, especially the influences - but I think you missed an opportunity in the bestiary to contrast the animals with their scientifically modern counterparts.
