he wasn't even scared at first he just didn't want to clean up the blood

[CheapCreep]

POV: Your nervous system gets a little too nervous and runs away.

[roachy]

im reminded of that one music video about the teens who sneak into a pool late one night and it turns out to be a portal to...somewhere insane

[VirtualWillE]

give the creator of this short all resources & creative freedom that he needs, this man has an insane amount of potential!

[SnagTheRabbit]

The concept of a brain and nervous system being expelled from your body is such a disturbing tier of cosmic horror and I genuinely can't believe I've never seen it done before. That being said, it's awesome.

Edit: Guys, I didn't say it's never been done before. Just that I personally haven't seen it before, and I consume a lot of horror content.

[TitusTheTiny]

This is what adult swim needs! This type of material with artistic value and effort.

[Julia-bttv]

the way I knew immediately that the creator of "Playground" made this lol love it

[faithchick]

The flashes of images are so haunting. People walking hooded in a forest, same people playing music to a bleeding head, a head smiling minicingly above a city/castle, a lamb standing before a sphinx laying in the dark with only its eyes gleeming. Very creepy and well done. I want to know so much more!

[Jungus]

The quality of the animation is so good it was almost distracting. Rodrigo has a remarkable grasp of perspective, few animators will fill their storyboards with such challenging shots, but Rodrigo just dives right in. There’s an insane amount of attention paid to the value range, something that’s accentuated by the grayscale beautifully. I urge you to rewatch the video and examine these incredible high-contrast compositions, each one is a masterclass in light and shadow. I hope his pitch for his Playground feature gets picked up!

[weirdalchemy]

Wait, this is the same lady from the previous episode of Uncanny Alley. What the hell is happening in this town?

[hadensasser]

Boss: That is the dumbest excuse for why you didn’t show up for work yesterday. You’re fired!

[theonlyaverity]

This gave me the chillsss
I also love how the girl from the first one comes back here. Really feels like it's building a universe i love it

[jammygeez]

Starts with a ballon floating towards the sky ends with the caretaker floating towards the sky!

[prismaticerror]

Sousa's ability to create the feeling of getting a glimpse of an entire fleshed out world is crazy. The lighting and perspective in this is also super impressive

[GojGoiOi]

Janitor for the entire half of the short:

" Dude, seriously? "

[morkenshi]

these epileptic hallucinations are absolutely gorgeous! not much space for animation. however pictures themselves are deeply hypnotizing

[marcell]

My heart just sank when that thing walked in.

[mexa_t]

Jesus those sounds effects from the first…thing, they really captured that sound of someone trying to breathe but their windpipe and lungs had been torn off

[szymonbeniowski]

I am so happy for the animator and artist behind those shorts. I believe he has a lot of potential, and i can't way for more of his works. Great job Rodrigo!!!

[oreo_smoothie]

The mere idea of someone's nerves, brain and eyes, retracting through the narrow channels they inhibit in the body. And then leaving, practically becoming another organism like that is just so horrid. And the amount of detail that was put into the scene of the janitor barfing his entire nervous system made all the more unnerving. ‏‪1:37‬‏ you can notice his eyes rolling back and exitimg there sockets before going out through the mouth.

This whole ordeal reminded me of an episode of adventure time where fin and jake both "wore" eachother to see who was a better armor. Fin wearking jake wasn't that horrific since jake could shapeshift easily. But when jake wore fin, we got a scene of jake sprouting tentacles all through out Fin's body. Which scared me way more then it should. And that haunting memory wad mirrored by this. Incredible.
