Nice video even though I don't care about the song.
Is there a high definition of it?
nice one! y'know... I can't remember if I've seen a Dom n Nic production that I didn't like...
First Class animation but the guy just stands there and does nothing.
finding nemo on acid
dom & nic love narratives were the protagonist seems to have accidentally taken some form of hallucinogen.
have any of their chems videos taken a different direction?
i think this is fucking great and will be played to death forever
good work gents
aaaaaaaahaha i loveitiloveitiloveit. i want whatever the kid's had.
dom + nic = genii
This just shows how fantastically entertaining Dom and Nic are. I didn't feel at any point it was trying to be too cool for school. It's simple, beautiful, funny, surreal. I'm with hassey on this one... this will be on TV rotation forever... or should be! Quality.
So nice :)
The promo's fun but the narrative a little flat. The kid was cast wrong and clearly has trouble holding his 'part'. At times very difficult to follow where he is mentally/emotionally.
Consider their believe video for instance. That actor was spot on.
yeah. my instinct as a director would have been to make the live action stuff more dense/interesting to lighten the load of the 3d animation. As it is, we got a kid looking in a fish bowl.
but still, awesome stuff. what a bizarre single.
Really good. When you got lyrics that literal you have to venture in the surreal and framestore knocked the animation out of the park. Congrats fellas.
try this
simply heavenly.
About the performance from the actor being flat. i think thats just you can't see his expressions properly on the youtube version. watch the quicktime. it's spot on. loads of really good details in his expressions. awesome video.
sick.
love it: fresh, cute, funny, a little weird and beautiful
nah the kid's great. he's happy, he's entranced, he's confused, he overwhelmed, he's slightly frightened, he's acceptant. he kisses the tank! and when you think that for the shoot, all he's got is an empty tank and a director telling him there's dancing fish to react to...
Well done for sure.
awesome! perfect animation, fun song, it all came together great, how can someone not like this?
amazing! dom&nic are very clever chaps
