Citipati - CGI Short film (2015)

[@xthieryx]

It took less than 2 minutes to make me feel saddened about a fictional dinosaur from millions of years ago. And the visual effects? Well done. Amazingly well done.

This made me feel even more sad about how dinosaurs went out. The way the Citipati accepted its fate and the strong message behind it. Also, the production quality is insane. The music, the close ups, the attention to detail. Everything. Absolute perfection.

no, he live, but he live in a Different body that was changing over the years. He live, Fighting and winning against the adversities of change. He live, Adapting to the different realms of the new world and thus embodying many forms.

[@1fishmob]

My best interpretation is that Citipati is witnessing the end of the dinosaurs, but through his near death experience he gets to see the universe itself and how it works, and realizing the meteor is not the end of the world but the beginning of something much bigger, Citipati choses to run towards the end of the world to start a brand new journey, and leave the old world he knew behind.

[@Каналменя-м3д]

👏👏👏

[@aithi2694]

[@fiberglass101]

It's interesting to think that a dinosaur would have a level of awareness capable of imagining his place in the universe . But we don't know what we don't know, do we.

[@KeegoonBarnacle]

In my opinion it seems to be a story about death acceptance; in the dinosaur's own dream-like vision it runs towards the approaching flame, embraces it, and is for a moment reborn as a phoenix from the ashes.

[@timofeifilippov9558]

I think it's about Infinite divisibility.

[@ksoundkaiju9256]

Asteroid Acceptance is Death Acceptance

[@fang609]

Agreed.

Just like a phoenix rebirths from fire, the citipati will be reborn as the birds we see today. That's explaining evolution in a much more emotional and exciting way.

@@murphy1825 birds aren't simply related to dinosaurs. Crocodiles are only related to dinosaurs. Birds are dinosaurs. I'm not sure what fighting has anything to do with it. Birds and mammals existed long before any tyrannosaurid, doesn't mean theid fight them

[@trvth1s]

@@realoceanic1737 birds are literally flying dinosaurs. When scientists say "nonavian dinosaurs", they are literally saying "not capable of flight dinosaurs" which means all non bird dinosaurs

I broke up with my boyfriend of five years last week and this made me cry way more. The extinction of the nonavian dinosaurs is such a tragedy.

I had to come back and leave some form of a comment. This is by far one of the greatest films created. To say this was an emotional journey would simply be an understatement. You gave this amazing dinosaur an existence that could truly be: true-to-form, while it observed the burning embers. This is what I chose to takeaway after finishing this brilliant clip. You gave it awareness. You gave it life. You gave us hope to remember that these beings once had a time, like us, that still continues in other forms... Simply impactful! Great work, on all levels, with this production. Thank you.

Not all of them lol. When Dinosaurs Roamed America and Dinosaur Planet are better than this.

[@djwashington8071]

Trying to compare this to a documentary (and vice versa) is futile because these things have two completely different goals in what they’re doing. Documentaries aim to be more upfront in educating their audience about things and being factual, this is doing none of that because it’s not intended to function as a documentary. it’s conveying a story through both auditory and visual means, it’s like trying to compare an apple to an orange

CGI and animation is fast becoming THE art form of the 21st Century.This short is an amazing example.

[@TVJUNK85]

Beautiful animation and visuals. The score is phenomenal as well; it really adds to the emotion of the short and brings a level of wonder to the already artistic sequences. My only complaint is I wish the Citipati was a bit more accurate in design to what we know them to look like and less "Jurassic Park- esque". It would even help with that end moment of it jumping into the fire; the feathered wings and tail igniting into firey duplicates. But other than that, phenomenal job.

[@aliromen2224]

It's an animation. It isn't supposed to be scientific. Get your smart ass outta here and go complain to Spielberg.

[@eclipsefx]

Thanks :) The criticism is valid though; it was a bit of a struggle to in terms of getting it done with the limited resources available, to the point that even the "mane" & back coverage was a late addition during production, even if it's just a JP3-esque compromise.

[@horsehorsehorsehorse8500]

Huh, sometimes there is beauty in destruction and chaos. Adding a whole new perspective on death and life.
