These guys deserve way more recognition for this. It's like a dnd campaign brought to life, with more compelling characters than a lot of what comes out of Hollywood, and with better choreography too
@@soulance8342 i still am i think I've watched this 10 times already from start to finish maybe more i share it with anyone i can, it was a random thing I watched a little bit at first then stopped to do other things but then i said I'm gonna watch it all and man was i blown away once it gets going it pulls you in and won't let got its intensely entertaining it's spectacular
Judging by the recent slew of comments, the algorithm managed to pick this gem up and dish it out all of a sudden. A good thing too, the animation and story were excellent.
Не хуже голливудских фильмов. Концовка особенно зацепила: - А моё желание? - Ты жив! У тебя есть всё, чтобы его исполнить. Авторам уважение за огромный труд.
I arrogantly judged this off the bat, thinking "An amatuer claymation video in Russian? Probably going to be a bit naff." Holy crap was I wrong! One of the best things I've watched in years and was the first time in a very long time where I was on the edge of my seat. Amazing fight scenes with imaginative monsters, the story is engaging with just the right amount "show don't tell", it's characters are compelling and have genuine and relatable convictions, the dialogue is superb, and I couldn't predict anything ahead of time like I always can with the abundance of formulaic Hollwood TV/Movies we have these days - absolute 10/10, a fantastic piece.
This is a great analysis. This was so good and refreshing, that it makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with Hollywood writing. I never knew what was coming next while I was on the edge of my seat. The characters were compelling, unique, and believable.
Wasn’t it just amazing. I loved the feel, the depths of this. From music to how heartfelt the brothers demise was. A masterpiece yet to be fully discovered I feel.
Случайно наткнулся на данную работу, это неописуемый труд с точки зрения построения сцен и работы затраченной на постановку боев, анимации. Сюжет очень хорош, держит интригу до самого конца и не дает скипнуть. Судя по комментам делали 2 человека, этой работой можно и нужно гордиться, очень годно.
You two are fucking amazing: The choreography, the pacing, the dramatic arc, the violence, the suspense, the moral dilemma/resolution, EVERYTHING was so carefully conceived, blueprinted and enacted as to be BETTER than an ordinary film, more visceral than a live-action film, more emotionally riveting than Hollywood can usually manage and by far, more labor-intensive and physically artistic than nine-out-of-ten films I view on RU-vid. You should be very proud of yourselves, there were images here that evoked Greek Tragedies and Germanic hero sagas and Vedic struggles of titanic dimensions...I was flabbergasted by how good this was...thank you.
What an absolute masterpiece. 10/10 amazing swordplay and combat. The fact that you see the bull mans triceps and biceps flex and twist as he tries to lift himself is absolutely stunning. You made clay look like a liquid for some beautiful blood effects. The fact that I just stumbled upon this has made my day and inspired me immensely. I love your work, great job.
What an amazing film! This must have been a stupendous amount of work for just two animators. The fights are as entertaining as anything Hollywood has to offer. Rough plasticine clay is much better than bad CGI. It is let down by the awful recording of the dialogue. This could become a hit if they rerecorded it, preferably in English, but with good actors, good microphones, and actual women playing the female roles. Count me in as a voice actor if they do.
I agree with your assessment it is a great movie abd the only complaint is the voice work but i think that they were still able to give an emotional layer to the characters and story and the tone of the dialogue is still understandable even though tye language might not be i still love it the way it is but i would love to see a voice acted in English version with the same dialogue
If it's re-recorded, it should be in Russian, not English. A part of its charm is that it is Russian made, and it is a poetic and lyrical language. The subtitles here don't really do it justice. Even if the voice quality is bad, the personality of the character is still felt, and we should respect the vision of the creators by re-recording it in the closest medium possible.
@@TheWildManEnkidu agreed but a English dubbed version was teased in the trailer and would maybe make this work of art more palatable to a wider audience , i love it as is myself
The obvious flaws are honestly positives in this case, showcasing the earnestness of the creators' objective, they're endearing and actually help cultivate the atmosphere to watch it. The ending was an exceptionally surprising message, as well as the twist of the post-credits reveal.
The realistic combat movements, the use of weapons, the character's way of thinking and evolving personality, all of this is amazing! In the 80s it would've been loved even more!
@@meyawabdulaziz3863 most people die for what they wish for, but few live for what they wish for. Reach your goals in life while you're alive to reach them instead of dying for them. At least that's what I got from the final dialogue.
This deserves to be in cinemas. Even with the current voice acting. It gives this movie its own charme. The two animators are talented as fuck. I hope they do well and made the best of this incredible talent of story telling and animating.
I've spent a lot of time on RU-vid over the years, and this is the BEST FUCKING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN! That was absolutely insane, and the ending was actually profound in a way I wasn't expecting. Honestly that had me 100% in the moment I hardly realised it was nearly 90 minutes long, the creatures were creepy, great character development and the visuals are just stunning. I am going to tell a lot of people about this!
I found that ending incredibly satisfying. The truly selfless got exactly what they wished for even if dead. The selfish took it or the grave with themselves...and the winner? The last man standing? Has everything he needs in himself, alive, to make any of his wishes come true? Beautiful. I love it.
@@LittleMushroomGuye wanted the Brothers to survive, so when he died his wish was the same as theirs. Same as how the Archer wanted to be a hero and do something great - he made the devil fear him. And pure/healer one wanted to save someone’s/assassin’s life and for her family to come back. And female warrior wanted to become greater fighter than the barbarian , so she became a naga monster.
I like to think the Rogue's true wish was a chance at redemption in some way. To start over and live a better life that he wouldn't regret. He got that in the end too.
As a kid i had an entire collection of figures made like this and sometimes i'd just put clay over plastic figures pretending to give them armour that breaks off as they fight god that was such a fun thing to do as a kid
Фильм на одном дыхании, начал смотреть лёжа на диване, закончил сидя нависая над телефоном. Даже не ожидал что такая озвучка может понравиться, лучше думаю и не надо, так как фильм берёт смыслом! И боёвка захватывающая! И вроде поначалу чопорные отталкивающие образы обернулись совершенно другой стороной! Правильно в одном комментарии сказали, что в таком формате ярче начинают блестеть бриллианты! Это правда шедевр! Крепко жму руку! 🤝
This completely captures the feeling and imagery I had in my head as a child playing with action-figures. Watching it was like re-living that time in my life in the best possible way. Not to mention the story and character development were great in their own right.
Авторы, вы возрождаете веру в творчество и спасаете разум от застоя. После просмотра вашего шедевра ощущаешь невероятный приток вдохновения, желание творить просто зашкаливает. Спасибо Вам, ребята, просто неописуемое спасибище =)
Одно из лучших если не лучшее видео на ютубе живой шедевр ,а его создатели крутые творцы спасибо за ваше творение мне нравится как тут всё устроено битвы,диалоги,пермонажи и тд . После просмотра всегда у меня офигенное вдохновение 😢❤!
It's this kind of old school productions. Heart and mind working together to create this. It's not like today's stuff filled with empty emotions and unreasonable behaviors. Even the fighting animations are more realistic than those in Hollytrash movies.
ОФИГЕТЬ. вот это уровень. я давно так не балдел от просмотра. Чёрт возьми. Это одно из лучших творений, что я увидел в ютубчике за многие годы. выражаю огромную благодарность.
" - Как же моё желание? - Ты жив. У тебя есть всё, что бы исполнить его." 10/десяти на кончиках пальца. Лучше, чем многие современные голливудские и уж тем более отечественные кино поделия. Ну реально: сюжет - имеется, развитие персонажей - имеется , мотивы персонажей поступать так как поступают - имеются, мораль и смысл - в наличии. Огромное уважение к проделанному труду. Если создатели не забросили своё дело, то может с помощью нейросеток женских персонажей переозучить?
I'm years late seeing this but it's absolutely phenomenal! It's got Dark Sun vibes. "A warrior does not seek fame and honor. They are after him, while he humbly follows his path. And surely a warrior is not sorry for himself."
Делает\делают "для себя". Кому-то нравится в бутылке кораблики собирать, кому-то вязать или из бисера поделки делать, а ему из пластелина мультики делать. Уважаю создателя. Труд титанический.
The reward is showing the world how talented the people of Russia can truly be. I think we're blessed to have artists like this in our world. I'm really glad to have discovered this.
It's a good thing i watched this masterpiece before and now i did again. Can you blame me? I just love everything here, animation, fighting, character development and the character themselves. It must have took thousands of hours creating this, and for the attention it is getting, it absolutely deserved it. In the near future, maybe i will come back here again!
This was actually sick, you could feel the inhuman toughness of the monster in the arena by all the blows and punishment they received. Really great combat scenese, and the ending makes for a good leeway of theory discussion.
This was amazing. I cant believe 2 guys can put out a movie of this quality. I mean that was the best fighting ive ever seen in a movie. Every move was fluid and made sense. Yall have out done yourselves, this movie puts Hollywood movies to shame!
Гениально! Чувствуется , что пилили все шедевры на канале люди, не чуждые борьбе и рукопашке, и отэтого оно настолько гармонично- прекрасно! Глубочайшее почтение и увОжение вам, талантливые братья!
This is a masterpiece! I didn't expect to keep watching till the end with this voice over but the fighting choreography really caught my eye, and then when I saw the character development I had to watch it all. I hope this comment will help RU-vid algorithm to recommend it to more people. This deserves wider recognition.
with professional voice acting and musical score, this would win an oscar. One of the greatest animations of all time, and its from only two people. Absolutely amazing
The choreography, the dialogue, the tiny details and expresions rendered in clay... This was simply a masterpiece. 👏 Bless the brothers Akhmetov for making this and the algorithm for recommending it.
Just finished it. The pace is excellent and the dynamic between banter and battle is well balanced, the moral aspect is very well developed - especially the ending and it's twist - the characters are all memorable in their own aspects... Wow, I'm shocked. This is a work of passion that has it all, good characters, good story, insanely good animation. You guys deserve every bit of praise and that's not nearly enough.
Fucking legendary! Holy shit, where has this video been hiding for 5 years?! Those fight scenes are better than ANYTHING I’ve seen in a hollywood movie. Mad respect for the creators. This is what legends are made out of.
This is one of the best overall movies I've seen. It surpasses many more filmed with actual cast and special effects crews and huge budgets. It shows you guys put your entire heart into it. Insanely good.
Who knew a plasticmation for free in RU-vid would be my new favorite movie... Seriously, I cannot think of a better example. The raw amount of effort, action, and moral of this story is amazing. Even the downsides point to an upside, the voices were very similar, but I didn't care at all the entire movie, I was so into the story I barely even noticed, it was so good I could look past all of the very few negatives. Only True 10/10 I could give to anything.
Этот фильм достоин показа в кинотеатрах! Он как чистая вода среди всей этой попсовой мути! Концовка очень удивила! Бои просто делал мастер и они захватывают тебя! Это шедевр!
This is amazing! The soundtrack is kickass, the fights are beautiful, and ther characters are fantastic! I truly love this! Bravo to Ivan and Alexey Akhmetov!
This film made me out loud shout ‘NOOOO!’ When the characters died. I was more emotionally invested in this film then I’ve been in any film this year. Absolutely amazing
Афигительно, просто слов нет! Полтора часа кровь/кишки на одном дыхании, а в конце настоящий катарсис. Осознал себя в одиночестве сидящим перед экраном монитора, и ничего вокруг.... Я жив, пойду воплощать свои мечты!
As a current student of animation and stop motion, this is fucking insane. The level of detail, storytelling and cinematography is overwhelming. I hope you get picked up my a major studio soon, you certainly deserve it!
"What about me, what about my wish?" "You're alive, you have everything you need to fulfill it" great story guys!! At first watch I thought to myself what am I watching? Then I got hooked to the story. This is a blockbuster.
Вот это чувство стиля!!! Неограниченная фантазия!!! Каждый поворот сюжета непредсказуем, полтора часа в напряжении на одном дыхании! Глубокие мысли, и характер героев. Редко пишу коментарии - но это гениально!
@@kras_mazovвся жизнь набор штампов в разной вариации. может я в свои 46 излишне впечатлителен но мне понравелось. дело вкуса., вот сыновьям не зашло... с уважением к вашему мнению.
incredible work. The storytelling, the emotions, the sheer mastery of clay, and the ending! One of the best things i've seen on youtube in a while, thanks for this masterpiece! I won't put any spoilers, but I must say that some of the plot twists were just too well done.
More people need to find this is unironically better than 90% movies releasing today in terms of story,action AND characters. Is the first movie that got me thinking about it days after watching it in a while.
Im only about a minute into this and its by far the best movie I've ever seen in my life. The work that must have gone into this amazing stop-motion film must have taken an incredible amount of time and patience. Im showing this to everyone I know. What an amazing job. The first fight scene just blew my mind. Everything about it is perfect.
I randomly clicked on this video because it was in my recommended.. didn't think I'd actually watch or be engaged by anything from my recommended for so long through upon first viewing on RU-vid, I didn't even check the comments for fear of spoiling it, AND was engaged the entire time, you managed to make the fight scenes Supreme and gory, this an unexpected gem, I was emotionally invested in the characters. I was scared that any of them would die. Simply a masterpiece, props you guys who created this and to RU-vid for showing this to me.
@@tycko4 yep agreed, although the voice over still manages to give an emotional layer to the characters...even tho i don't understand the language i would still like to have girls voice the girls even if i can't understand them lol but that's a trivial nit pic i still love it as it is
This is one of the best RU-vid videos I've ever seen. Better than most Hollywood movies in my opinion and with a more riveting story. All of this done by two people. Bravo!
Этот фильм- это тот редкий тип творчества, который делается совершенно безвозмездно. При всём этом, авторы умудряются сохранять интересную динамику персонажей и чётко прописывать их характеры. Шикарная работа!
17 minutes in. I have no clue how I got to this part of youtube, but damn, if I'm not invested! Theres something really charming about the practical effects plasticine animation can produce, that CGI just _cannot_ reach.
Это настолько великолепно и философски глубоко. Очень поразила финальная фраза. "Ты жив - у тебя есть все, чтобы выполнить свое желание" Авторам огромнейший респект и благодарность!
The RU-vid algorithm has brought me a gift Just finished it Holy Shit that was amazing by far the best claymation I've ever seen what a gem and despite the rough transition a pretty good story really wish these guys would've continued making stuff because they have a real talent for this great work guys
I found part of your animation on a Tiktok video without giving any credits, I'm glad i found your original channel and even the whole animation, you're incredible talented and I have no doubt you're even better now
This should be a cult classic! This is easily one of the better action movies i´ve never seen. It´s visceral, inspiring and moving. I´m gonna tell everyone that I can to go and watch this film!
Просмотрел фильм от начала до конца. Невероятно круто, каждую минуту удивлялся сколько труда и фантазии вложено в эту анимацию. Лепка, съемка, монтаж, музыка, звуки, эмоции, мораль и философия. Благодарю, было круто!
Хотелось бы похвалить создателей за вполне оригинальных монстров этой арены. Смотря на них, в голове возникают вопросы об их происхождении. Судя по концовке, монстрами арены становятся бывшие её бойцы. Исходя из этого, хочется думать о том, кем были эти ужасающие твари, которых наши герои встретили на пути.
Посмотрел по совету друга. Вначале, если честно, отнёсся скептически и ожидал классический пластилиновый трешак с кровищей без смысла и сюжета... я ещё никогда так не ошибался! Отличный сюжет, прекрасно поставленные боевые сцены, живые персонажи с проработанными личностями, диалоги со смыслом, ВОТ-ЭТО-ПОВОРОТЫ и сама техника исполнения - 11 из 10, господи, 11 из 10-ти! Большое спасибо братьям Ахметовым за их работу и отдельно желаю им новых творческих успехов.
This has something that no movie from Hollywood, Pixar, Disney, has: soul. Each of these characters has more "realness" in their little button eyes than all the big money cartoon characters put together.
2nd time watching this, and I've gotta say, i genuinely missed this. That teaser at the end is killing me with anticipation. I hope there comes a part 2. Amazing work guys.
Absolutely fantastic film. Easily better than pretty much anything that comes out of major studios these days! You should have a Patreon. I'd definitely pay 20 dollars for the hour and a half of entertainment.
Фильм потрясающий! От концовки я вообще в шоке был, сначало подумал, что только девушка выживет, а в итоге выжил тот персонаж, который(как я думал) умрёт где-нибудь в середине фильма. Большое спасибо авторам за проделанную работу! Никогда не переставайте творить!
The Akhmetov brothers are my new favorite animators. What an epic story, even with a questionable English translation this was incredible. Ive never been so impressed with stop motion. Incredible score, brilliant choreography, it’s just an instant classic in my book. Well done sirs.
Holy shit... I mean SERIOUSLY, this shit is way WAY beyond my expectations! I LOVE IT! Way better than most Hollywood BS, and I say this as someone who usually is picky on Historical based combat. But the characters, the fact that they use what they can, the show of desperation, I love it! Not yet done with it as of writing this comment (at 56:26), the Pigmen, breaking weapon after weapon, as a way of showing their immense strength to the viewer, but when it comes to the Mace, a very strongly built weapon, it tried, but quickly tosses it away in frustration as its too sturdy, even for it. I love it. And all the extra effort in modelling small details and shit, so much they could have skipped and just been like (oh well that happened off screen while you were looking at these other characters), things such as bandaging, picking up weapons, cleaning weapons and clothing, also small details such as bits of armours being chopped of the characters or "heroes". ... And that ending... damn, NOT what I was expecting, but so.. soo much beyond expectations. I wont say details about the end for fear of spoiling it, but that was such a nice ending! A dose of mystery, but also fullfillment and some real life wisdom/advice to come with it, that being that its never too late to change your ways, dont give up on life or yourself, go ahead and do what you think is right. The only two "negative" notes I have on this, is that I noticed a few voice lines were missing (but the subtitles compensated) and also the voice acting wasnt all that great, but I do NOT complain about those two facts, as this was done by a two man team and if they would have been given a "proper" movie budget none of those things would have been there as a "problem". So with what they had they did an absolutely AMAZING job and I dont even wanna think about how long it took them to make this! xD Goodnight yall!
