Hello, World - Louie Zong | Animated Music Video

Thank you for watching my student animation short film project for 2021!
I had a lot of fun animating this and also learnt a lot. And thank you for Louie Zong for allowing me to use this wonderful music that I have fallen in love with since I first heard it~

Original Song:

Louie Zong for more music/animations and other good stuff!

That "Awaiting feedback....no response....shutting down" perfectly describes the lonely feeling this song gives off and I love it

[adamchmielewski]

This gives me the same feeling as still alive from portal. Just the calmness, but probably deeper meaning about technology is absolutely amazing.

[biganimetiddies]

Fun fact most programmers when they are new to coding or want to learn a new language they get the computer to say “Hello world!” And some A.I. honor this tradition when they first get implemented.

"A computer cant make you cry"

A part of the animation that I really liked with this animation is that in the countdown sequence, it hesitates at 2, which could possibly mean that there may be more behind the scenes than what we are seeing, possibly sentience?

[tapewormslurper]

holy wow i just found this animation and its gorgeous. I hope more people see this gem

[commodore]

i love the contrast of the upbeat lighthearted song with the shots of the outside of the bunker resting forgotten in the middle of a bleached desolate nowhere

[upqzpux]

He counted 2... twice... ah, my heart.

[Austin-khun]

Anyone else notice the gun outside the bunker at 2:08? My theory is humans made themselves extinct during ww3, and the last humans survived for a little while in that bunker, but died after exausting their supplies. Does anyone agree?

[wingbeltcreations]

This is SO well done, I love these backgrounds. They're so full of life despite having nothing living, and react to light super well. It's such a different interpretation than everyone else gives the song, and it's just as great. I hope more people get to see this. It's fantastic.

[BenjamintYT]

My theory:
This story takes place in the future. Humans moved to a new planet after drying the world from it's resources. The air supposedly became unbreathable, so they have built silos like Ironhood for work, relaxation, and a place to stay, and robots to aid them in living there while they tried to find planets that could support them. After humans found a compatible planet to leave to, they were told to keep everything in their place, leaving everything behind. The red button at the end could be a rocket starting button, to launch to the new planet.

The facility has been running ever since, as this computer's voice echoes through the halls forever.

[zadektwinoaks]

This gives me adventure time vibes. Sweet and super nostolgic.

[friedmelon]

This was well animated. Can’t wait for more people to see this

[rdinary_Dude]

It's cute that you put the original robot on top of the PC

[pbyarugaba]

i think that the computer dying at the end to be reunited with its creator would work as a happy ending

[jamestingtat]

I absolutely love the aesthetic of the video. It's just... Melancholic....


You're underrated

[sweetartsstudios]

Man I can imagine someone making a fallout 4 mod with this I would be crying mid game not in the laugh crying the legit crying as in tears with a sad expression. This song makes me cry when I wanna be sad

[hydrus]

i love the little byte (that's what i call the little guy) action figure that is on top of the computer

[quitequeerquesadilla]

Freaking love the amount of environmental storytelling in this.

[andpersand]

Perfectly captures the undertone of sadness in the song and lyrics
