Love the Dirty Projectors! Thanks for helping to get their work in front of a larger audience bc I know everyone can (&should) appreciate the brilliance of their art(=

[@rojm]

i cried before the sad part. some of the shots in this could be stills. so beautiful i don't know how they did it. it's like claymation evolved. the lighting is unreal. i love this.

[@Kipplz]

Once ray trace lighting becomes a bigger thing, people will be able to make ultra realistic claymation looking animated movies

[@phoebexxlouise]

I have a feeling it was computer animated to look like claymation.

[@gcil8214]

This is what adult swim should be. High effort, small studio, creative and innovative projects given a larger platform and budget.

[@DataRew]

WOWWWWWW. It's been 10 years since I last gave the Dirty Projectors a listen and DAMN, have they evolved exactly how i would've asked them to.

[@henryleitch]

You need to take a listen to Lamp Lit Prose (2018) and Dirty Projectors (2017). You'll be amazed.

[@DataRew]

@@henryleitch Thank you very much for the recommendations! I'll check them out.

[@karawethan]

Swing Lo Magellan was...not great. Personally I was not a huge fan of the S/T either. But clearly (and fortunately) Longstreth is now getting back to his more experimental/orchestral roots

[@herudnoldan6593]

@@karawethan you are kidding right? Swing lo is a masterpiece! Every song is súper intricate, it has the perfect combination between the great future productions , and the old touch of the acoustic stuff

Adult Swim is probably a more creative collective than all of Adobe.

a company that price gouges doesn't have morals and to create good art i think you have to feel something.

[@refusingtoconform]

@@hypercept Okay, and Da Vinci used oil paints in his work but no one would ever credit his incredible career to the people who manufactured his brushes. Creating the tools for art is not the same as being equipped to create with those tools.

[@FriedWyce]

I think the creativity falls more on the creative team than the publisher

[@kottur4846]

[@thelonecontroller5694]

I love how everyone is commenting on the animation / how emotional the story is. But I just wanna take a minute and think about that whole climate change message.

[@MoosGoCow1]

What climate change message? Did we watch the same video? Lol

[@thelonecontroller5694]

@@MoosGoCow1 I think we did. It's the part where the snowy region starts to become more dry and arid and it starts to get worse. She dreams about the snowy region. So taking into account of all that there's a subtle climate change message.

[@ralstonwithanr]

@@MoosGoCow1 David Longstreth, the creative head of Dirty Projectors (DP), is very climate conscious. Blatant themes of environmental destruction were on DP’s 2018 album “Lamp Lit Prose,” specifically on the song “That’s a Lifestyle.” Also the EP that inspired this short film is titled “Earth Crisis.” Hmm, thinking about crises which impact the earth... have to choose one: Direct habitat destruction by human development; indirect habitat destruction by climate change; ocean acidification; chemical alterations to soils by acid rain ellusion; mass extinction leading to worldwide decreases in genetic, population, and ecosystem diversity; deforestation and desertification; increased likelihood of storm events in coastal communities; sea level rise; loss of naturally-occurring freshwater for literally all of humanity; increasing frequencies of wildfires; wiping out rainforest and prairie biomes around the world; methane (more heat-holding capacity than carbon dioxide) being released from massive methane deposits in melting permafrost and glacial ice in the subarctic; or crop and infrastructure failure?

[@Feces132]

There is software that utilizes AI to interpolate frames between frames. You can take a stop motion clip done at 15 or 30 frames a second and up it to 60 for more or less free.

[@ApexHerbivore]

This is CG made to look like stop motion though. They've purposefully done 2-4 frame staggered poses at times to accomplish this. Works really well.

Just because it’s stop motion doesn’t mean it’s robot chicken, christ. Watch the actual video, it’s nothing like it

@@Kiwi-cc7ib I agree with your point...This isn't stop motion though. It's very cleverly animated on computer to make it look like stop motion.
