DRY RUN

A short film made for Adult Swim's "Off The Air". It's about a Trolval, one of the recurring sea monster motifs found on medieval maps, generally in the uncharted spots that might be full of strange things that kill you. Here in Australia was one such spot, and the Western world still seems to view our wildlife much the same.
If "Here Be Dragons" as the maps say, they’re probably critically endangered by now.

Shoutout to that one absolute *LAD* that kept giving it water

[Ett.Gammalt.Bergtroll]

Bless his heart. Small island towns like this are entirely dependent on Trolval impulse purchases to maintain their economy.

I love how he's aware that all of that cost something and he casually give a whole treasure and the owner look at that and doesn't even care.

i love how the license plate of the car is just car

That lady is like: ah another 50 year passed? Well go ahead and buy your groceries.

The dude with the water bucket is the mvp
He needs more recognition

[ZWolf]

Somehow seeing Felix animate what is supposed to be normal humans is more surreal than the fever dream character designs he usually uses.

I want to go to Felix's imagination when I die.

I seriously want to see this guy's sketchbook!

I love how the newspaper's top headline is "Man Unhappy".

[factual-fantasy]

I found it so wholesome that the humans kept trying to help this creature. Even when it was deliberately dragging itself away from the water and it was clear that it didn't need water, they still tried to keep it wet to help it.

[Xiox]

Thank goodness those people were around to help.

[TheSuperantispy]

IDK how you got footage of me leaving my house to get snacks but can you please delete it

[razmerry]

I've always appreciated this film for its considerate view of humanity. In most stories like these the humans are always trying to kill the monster, or scared of it, or whatever. I like that everyone is trying to help in their own way.

[Oakiyox]

2:12 "Man unhappy". This literally sum up the humanity

[chupathingy]

No one really talks about it but these videos always have amazing sound production.

[CoryMck]

This wildlife is so advanced that it is polluting it's own water, and we are helping it.

[alanbecker]

I love this. Such a unique story, such great timing, such a great art style. I love the police car, the one guy who goes back to the ocean for a bucket of water, the way the guy's head obscures the beached creature in the first scene, and the way the shop owner keeps reading the news after getting treasure dumped on the floor. Keep it up.

[Cyranek]

absolute love for everything this man puts out

"Durries" AKA durry, an Australian slang for cigarettes, the type of "roll-your-own". Felix Colgrave is an aussie, there is no question about it.
