i absolutely love the representation of the paleozoic period life you managed to make some the weirdest creatures from that time adorable without going off the rails adding or removing stuff
This is amazing. Isopods getting such adorable recognition, and the stunning atmosphere you’ve created with the ambient sounds, music, and lighting??? Absolutely fantastic
This made me cry. I found myself narrating it to myself, and crying. Inverts never get this cute animated treatment and I'm so happy that science and art have come together and that you made this. Thank you.
This actually made me tear up. The animation it so gorgeous yet simple and the storytelling was beautiful. I'm gonna go feed my pet isopods right now and give them the love they deserve
This reminds me of one of those animal folk tales such as “how the camel got its hump” or “how the snake lost its legs” but this time it’s with woodlice which is way better. Great work mate, the setting of it being in the Palaeozoic specifically just makes it even nicer in retrospective given how it shows how much arthropods and their relatives dominated back then, alongside amphibians and mollusks too.
@@Mr._funny2006 honestly, not sure. My next video has been in development hell for quite some time, and I don’t know when I’ll be finished. Regardless, I’ll try my best to stay active.
"Perhaps another time." Gets gored by an anomalocaris. "Can't say no to a snack," he said. I wasn't expecting a Soup reference here of all places, but I should've seen it coming 30 minutes away...
It's so awesome to spot so many animals of the paleozoic!! It's really rare to see animals from that era being represented in media nowadays, so it's really awesome how you filled your animation to the brim with these less known animals, even if most people won't recognize!
Fr! This could have been a regular animation about an isopod buttt the creator decided to make something more unique by placing it in another era (which can still work because certain bugs and insects have stayed the same for millions of years.) I hope this creator continues animation :)
well, yeah, it’s cool that more paleozoic life is getting more representation in media, but that isn’t really to say this an example of accurate representation. don’t get me wrong, it’s better than the jurassic series and how they turn regular animals into mindless killing machines, but there’s still somethings that are to be desired.
These designs are so criminally adorable AND accurate. I popped off when I saw that velvet worm, especially when they used their slime to string up some shelter for the lil’ isopod! I bawled watching this, but in a happy way. Both for the love of nature, and the love of animation, that this makes so crystal-clear.
This is now one of my favorite things, and I'll tell you why. You use of colors, both the variety and combos, are gorgeous💕 The way you express emotions simplistically, not needing too many details to know what the characters are feeling, how you convey to the viewer what's happening without and verbal dialog, your "simplistic" art style, that you can actually see the sketch lines, rather than being "clear-cut", your backgrounds, the different atmospheres, the multitude and various creatures present, their designs and the difference color choices and combos, the score, the lighting, etc. And that's only a short list of the things that caught my attention and made me love this. I seriously can't even imagine all the hard work, effort and dedication that went into making this. I'm seriously so proud of you💞 Excited to see what other treasures you have in store for the future😊
Not me being an Entomologist and tearing up over this! Absolutely phenomenal work, so lovely to see arthropods being represented in such a whimsical, adorable way as they truly are
@@KingDrakoTyrelli also liked the diplocaulus, but i dont think the time periods match up. I dont think anomalocaris lived in the same. Let alone meganura and trilobites. But i dint know
@@whatjusthappened911 Yea, but the main isopod is a rubber ducky isopod, which is a domestic kind of isopod that cannot be found in the wild so I don’t think it’s trying to be realistic.
@@whatjusthappened911 It seems that most of the animals depicted here are from the Carboniferous. Diplocaulus, Meganeura, Trilobites and Isopods, all existed together at some point in the carboniferous, its just the Opabinia (Anomalocaris relative) that stands out as it lived in the Cambrian, while none of the other animals did.
This qualifies as a "service" by all intents and purposes. It fits the very definition as it meets my needs for allowing me to escape and become grounded in reality. With the bombardment of junk we're required to adhere to and perform around it's easy to forget that Joy is all around us at every moment, it just requires a moment of perspective and focus. This is one of my go-to sources of instant *Joy* . It has many, Many forms and this one is filled with simply and genius! I hope you've won awards for this beautiful and invaluable animation because it deserves so much more!!
Dropping a comment on this beautiful masterpiece so that whenever someone likes or comments, I'll be able to come back and watch this again. ADHD may make me forget about this video but, the power of fellow Neurospicy folks and Isopod lovers will be able to keep reminding me of the existence of this incredible short film!💙
ok this is so much cuter than i expected and oh my god i love it so much! ngl, almost cried when the rubber ducky boy didn't find his friends : ( But it's so cute and i love the sound design!
@@Morganational Oh that's the type of Isopod it is, the one with the yellow head, it's called Rubber Ducky Isopod, they are amazingly adorable but it think decently rare to find as a pet they're called that cause the head plate is all yellow and the like part that sticks out with the eyes looks like a silly duck bill
@@Morganational they’e adorable to keep as a pet, I’m usually think insects are creepy but since isopods technically arn’t arthropods but rather crustaceans...so I made an exception ^0^
This film is the reason I decided it was a good idea to go to CCA, I remember it really clearly it was shown among many others when I was at portfolio day, talking to Kristof, yours was something I’d actually want to make. Not to say the others were bad, but yours felt like really inspiring and made me believe that I could actually learn what I needed to learn here. Thanks to your piece of animation. I’ve made so many amazing friends. Learn so much about art animation, myself life and love. I’m a better person because of what you’ve made. Even if that was never your intention. I really don’t know how to properly express my gratitude.
For those who are curious, a good part (if not good part, so) of the creatures presented at the video already existed, and a little amount of them still existing at the actual days
This looks like the type of thing to have 14 milion views overtime I don't know if you're still there, but do know, this was an absolutely amazing piece of art
i don't know why this came into my recommended but i'm so glad it did, i absolutely love these little goobers and want to hold one gently. i love them.
Enchanting. I love the universality of this little film. Regardless of your cultural background, anyone and everyone can enjoy this beautiful adventure. The creatures are charming, the colors and shapes are inviting and thers's whimsy and humor in their interaction and expressions. So sweet.❤
I like helping me main isopod is not an outcast and their friends care for them and other creatures they meet along the way are helpful and not taking advantage of them. it would’ve been so easy to make this more of a struggle but instead it was a cute and happy adventure :) The art style, sound design, and backgrounds are lovely
HOLY AVOCADO THIS IS AMAZING! The sound and lighting are great, the story is simple but really flowy, and it's all adorable and really pleasing to look at! I love it, we all do!
this is very reminiscent of the Russian fairy tale about an ant who was taken away from an anthill and he tries to return, and along the way he is helped by other insects. Very beautiful Thanks for this animation
The artist took a few liberties. Apparently the main character isopods are a pet variant that can't be found in the wild. And some of the smaller animals seem to only be based on animals that would have been around instead of specific species. The weirdest thing for me are the time travelers. This clearly takes places during the carboniferous (the time of the first ever forest and giant insects) but there are "guest appearances" of Cambrian animals (that should be long extinct by now) and at least one Permian animal (that shouldn't exist yet)
I'm so tickled to see Cambrian creatures animated with so much character. The appearance of each one is such a treat. Beautiful work, and I love the style of it so much!
AAAAAAAUUUUUHGGGGGGGG PLEASE THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER AS AN ARTIST AND A BIOLOGIST WITH AUTISM AND A HYPERFIXATION ON ISOPODS AND PREHISTORIC WILDLIFE I ADORE SEEING SUCH BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK MADE OF SUCH BEAUTIFUL CREATURES
Похоже тут смешались вместе почти все периоды палеозойской эры (поскольку вначале аномалокарисы, опабинии и триллобиты наводили на мысль о кембрии, а затем диплодокалиус напомнил уже о перми), а также немного мезозоя (лягушки возникли в конце триасса-начале юры), но всё равно получилась очень хорошая - занимательная, симпатичная и прикольно нарисованная анимация. Спасибо большое.
