Posted by coughing-dog - November 4th, 2008


well my uni year is over, and now i have a 4 month holiday...woo. Its been a great year though, i couldnt ask for a better course, and I'd like to think I've gotten better at animation. Hopefully ill be able to create some animations this hols, ive got a few things in mind and maybe even a collab. so i just uploaded Kid A, just one of the many assignments I've done the last 2 semesters. I was thinking of putting some of the others on here but I'm just not sure if they would be recieved well. Hmm thats something to think about.

Im guessing the only reason someone would read this is if theyve just watched Kid A, but if u havnt seen it go check it out if you want to feel sad for some reason. Truth be told i feel nothing from this animation, like im missing a soul or something. O yes and thats a screenshot below. In case theres anything you don't get in Kid A, and i understand completely if there is (perhaps not the strongest story teller) feel free to ask. A few things tho. The world had been left in turmoil and humanity's only hope of survival is through human cloning. After much research and experiments, Kid A, the first human clone, is produced (an homage to Thom Yorke). Kid A is highly unstable though, and many of its bodily function must be controlled by machines. The fascility also contains thousands of cameras to monitor Kid A in every way (the little robots and B.E.A.R. also acts as cameras). The stick animation part is like a projection of Kid A's thoughts, the white stick figure being himself. The zaps of electricity signify the pain caused by the electrodes. B.E.A.R. is a new technology thats been built to interact with Kid A, using A.I.. B.E.A.R. has an instant connection to Kid A, and when the camera robots (who really pose no threat) appear, B.E.A.R. instinctivly removes them. However after watching the projection B.E.A.R. unplugs Kid A to end his suffering, short circuiting himself in the process. The next part is weird, Kid A, as an adult, meets with B.E.A.R. in 'heaven'. Yes i know hes a robot but who could prove me wrong. Together they walk and B.E.A.R. sees the earth, decaying and dying. I guess there are a few themes that resonate within the video - human cloning, extinction, technology, and gloabal conservation. I hope this answers some question for you. I think i could have had a stronger backstory, with the world ending and all. Lets just say a series of unnatural disasters were the cause. If ive left something out just ask me, chances are its a massive plot hole :P.

Thanks for voting guys, and for the radiohead collection :D:D:D.
