THIS USED COLD PRESS B (The ambient track) A YEAR BEFORE FNAF!? HOLY COW THAT HIT LIKE A TRUCK!!

[Gargoyle_Guy]

It's incredible how he can make metal things look so organic.

[dextroustrout]

these videos remind me of the old i-spy books

[Dylan_Otto]

This genius bastard needs a LOT more recognition

[SamLloydPresents]

Amazing work. People don't realise how much work goes into stop motion and its good to see, in this computer animation era that classic animation techniques are still being utilised.

As a marine biologist, I can confirm this is what fish look like in the deep.

[StudioAnnLe]

Wow, thats some really incredible and creative stop motion. Really makes you look at everyday items a little bit differently.

[GibbySmalls]

I wish we could have a full fledged movie with this kind of animation

1:04 those are the tongs from Western Spaghetti!

[alexandregilbert]

The imagination of this man is incredible.

Using this music before FNAF took hold of it.

The thing that's so impressive about this video in particular is the sheer amount of moving things in one shot. Look at all the little motions added up to form one shot. The fish are swimming, bobbing up and down, the seaweed is flowing, things are following each other, so much is happening and with so much fluidity to boot, that I think this video deserves a lot more recognition than it's gotten.

[dickmcstuffin]

Something about this video seems fake. Kinda fishy if you ask me.

[LegoMotionandMore]

2019 and still watching this. Love the lightning! Glad you recently did a new one! You're a real inspiration!

[LynchtheFinch]

You know he's an amazing stop motion animator when you get the same chills as you do when you're in the blood kelp in subnautica and you hear screeching in the distance

[etherialthunder]

this guy has such a creative mind. im in love with these videos

[PoseidonXIII]

So creative! I love the way you breathed life into these simple metal scrapes and hardware tools, turning them into these amazingly orchestrated creatures. And I love the comparison of such cold and hardened objects to these cold and hardened fish. I can never get enough of your stuff!
