Anna Dasht I think it the video symbolizes a person going through a tough time who may be overwhelmed or having a mental breakdown, but soon after finding peace and calming down.
The expression he has at the end is for some reason really heartwarming. Like "oh. Hmm!" he's suddenly finally found that peace and relief in himself. It's okay.
This resonates with me about how anxiety attacks feel like. How you tend to lose your grasp on how to deal with all the stressors in your life. Sometimes they all suddenly pile up into a intimidating mess. What to do? Where do start? What if this never ends? Scrambling to find solutions without rationality and failing. Only then after you breathe, remind yourself that you're still you, and that you're still here due to countless situations that proved how resilient you were and still are, do you find that rationality to grasp the right course of action- step by step do things get better once again.
This could be interpreted by many ways but my interpretation is that this is how it feels like to have a panic attack everything is loud and you freak put completely sometimes you shut down (take it with a grain of salt)
This short cartoon has a huge philosophical message! It depicts the idea of stoicism that it is not the events themselves that cause us negative emotions, but our perceptions of them. In this video, the main character was unable to turn off the mechanism that made him nervous for some unknown reason, whereupon he "got in his own head", thus changing himself and his view of what was going on. I didn't know Jack Stauber was a stoic! ---------------------------- Этот короткометражный мультфильм имеет огромный философский смысл! Он изображает идею стоицизма о том, что негативные эмоции у нас вызывают не сами события, а наши представления о них. В этом видео главный персонаж не смог отключить механизм, который по неизвестной нам причине заставлял его нервничать, после чего он "залез себе в голову", тем самым поменяв себя и свое представление о происходящем. Не знал что Джек Стаубер стоик!
Perhaps the real answer inside was the friends we made along the way Was i like high or something when i made this comment I literally do not remember this and the joke isnt even funny wh
Once in a while, you come across a piece of media that perfectly encapsulates where you are in that particular moment of your life. This is one of those. Thank you, Jack.
This might sound weird but have a theory. Sometimes people with anxiety (such as myself) experience a mental phenomenon called 'sensory overload'. The name is pretty self explanatory. Every thing is loud and confusing like the buttons and the machinery noises. So the man has to experience the confusion until his emotions shut down and go numb like radio static. But the unsavory radio static is better than the overload. Or I am projecting myself onto an animated character without a name because I am sad.
@@jasmaniathegreat7118 I told people in my class that I have autism and they still act the same. I have to miss class because it’s too much and they’re too loud
At my high school, some teachers had microwaves in their classrooms, so it wasn't uncommon to see other teachers and students on different lunch shifts walk in to get something out of it.
that is one way to look at it. what i understood though is that this may be a critique to those who think that anxiety/depression etc is nothing but a "switch" that you have to flip back to "normal". the machinery doesnt stop going crazy after the guy flips the switch... or heroin, cant argue with that either haha
@@vodzdrums that's why he doesn't just "flip a switch" he rotates a dial with many positions, and a knob that could be in literally any position, etc. Hes more like tuning his brain carefully and methodically.
It’s about changing yourself, as said above. You don’t have too much of an effect on the world around you, you only have an effect on yourself. You can’t stress yourself with the things that are out of your control.
I took it more as accepting that you can't change and fix everything around you, especially in times of crisis, and that sometimes it comes down to just changing your perception/attitude of the world.
This gives me extreme anxiety at first but then I immediately feel calm when the clay man calms the hell down. Holy shit, Stauber, you are absolutely amazing
@@lamasu8060 What do you mean by "get anxiety"? Anxiety is something everyone experiences in their life, it's an emotion, but there's different types of anxieties I guess. I'm pretty sure the commenter meant a generalized anxiety, an anxious feeling. I don't know if you're talking about medical anxiety, the type that actually messes with your life. I have anxiety too, and I never said it was a joke.
he's so stressed out by everything happening at the same time he begins tearing it apart trying to make it stop, until he realizes that he can be happy if he changes his mindset because happiness is a choice and it comes from the way you think. I feel like this is a representation of anxiety but this is just what i get from it
I think I get it. You can't force changes on the chaotic world we live in but you can fine tune yourself to see past the chaos and become content with your place in it.
@@ceilingfanv i see all the time people claiming many different things to be an "attack" that i cant tell you what one looks like. stress and anxiety are real, everyone has it to some degree but freaking out over something isnt equal to chemical imbalance that forces you to freak out over nothing
Me before exam: you got this u studied hard and you know everything you’ll be fine Me during exam: 0:01 Edit 1:Thank u to everyone who liked this this is the most likes I’ve ever got❤️
I always thought this was really dark and he was trying to defuse a bomb then at the end he realizes his fate and gives up and sits to wait, but I’ve read the comments and it’s about anxiety 😬 watched to much sad jack
clay forester Shut up and take the free replay button I have enough stress to deal with every day at my job even without you ostracizing me AGAHAGAGHAGHGH
@@chucklenuts2160 They are saying that learning to live with things like anxiety can be hard, and when you don't know what's wrong with you it can be overwhelming, but when you learn what's wrong, your able to see what's going on and be okay with yourself. At least that's what I thought the point was.
And being okay with problems instead of solving them only makes them degrade and worsen until you are once more not okay with them anymore. The process repeats until you are physically incapable of tricking yourself into acceptance and you are in a much worse situation than before. Acceptance is a one way street to misery but all the road signs have smileys on them.
This is beautiful. Your artistry captures the irrational fear of anxiety perfectly, and conveys how self healing works flawlessly. If you ever read this, I want you to know how much these videos have helped me. Thank you 💕
dakota neumann I mean sure, it’s art so it’s open to interpretation! I think that’s a very plausible theory, mine just relates more to my personal life 🤷♀️
Okay, this set design is amazing, the clay figure is amazing, everything to the way you chose the sounds of the machinery to the crys from the man is amazing, i love how short and simple this video was along with its story. We dont know much about anything in the world that this takes place in, inturn it puts a layer of unknowingness to the whole video. I just love this so much and it reminds me of something.
Me: skips ad Also me: *_regretting skipping because it gives ad revenue to get him more clay_* edit: this is my 2nd most popular comment on yt lol, glad it's on a vid like this
Don't they get the money anyway even if you skip it? Cause otherwise nobody would be making money on here. I think as long as the ad pops up and you watch until you can skip it counts.
It's quite easy to understand. This is a person who just realized there's too much going on around him, not the way they want it to, and they want to change it, but can't. Yet, you can be the change yourself. You just need the WILL to do so.
i think it is up for interpretation but i feel like the message that he is putting out is that you can artificially make your self "happier" with drugs and things of that nature. But in the end, everything wrong in your life will just keep going on you will just be blind to it.
I think it’s interesting that the *name* of the animation can be interpreted a few ways. Will, as in the name of our character here. OR. Will, as in the will or willpower to resist the crushing pressures of the world and instead choose to adjust what can actually be modified-your own perspective and attitude.
This one is about the guy being overwhelmed and bombarded with the world around him and he can’t focus on his mind and what he can control, but hen he realised that if he fixes what he has control over, then slowly the rest of the world will too.
I'm scared. When I see something disturbing and that disturbing thing gives off the vibe of panic, I panic. Even though I don't have any reason to panic. Like this video made me feel like I was in danger but when the dude calmed down I calmed down too.
@@devonesque5946 Eating food can make you feel safe I heard, so that's what I do most of the time 8pm - 5am or when I decide to sleep is when I feel watched
Jack and bill have the same feel but different styles so it would give us a mixed bag of just weird that I would love OH AND DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW GOOD THE MUSIC WOULD BE
Well, I believe that there is a philosophical massage behind this short and bit of awkward video. Maybe that messy place is where shows this world, society, which individual cannot control like the man who sitting at the centre. Once man realising it is out of control, now he starts to manipulating own panel on his head, which is one's mind. Since one person can't fix the world, he (or she) fixes own idea to adjust to the world in order to find pleasure and relaxation. Mankind finding excuses based on justification for misfortune in real-world to reduce the pain from it. But when it comes to far, it is now so-called 'escapism'.
@@senoreverything6366 Then don't read mine. What a pity victim complex or persecution complex. Why don't you consider such a comment can make others uncomfortable as well? What a self-centred idea. I never tried to conceit myself. I am even not majored in philosophy or psychology. But I do interested in them and enjoy reading books or watching videos related to them. Based on that imperfect ideas, I love to share my ideas as I can also learn a lot from others' opinions.
@@Kyle-qr5pu the problem is you called it "awkward", implying some condescending idea of it being "quaint" or without any purpose besides the "philosophical" purpose only YOU are allowed to apply to it
The thing is when he clicks his little buttons in his brain the area is literally the exact same. Its just a thing inside of him. This is what a panic attack Is explained in a 1:00 video and without saying anything
Why do i feel like I’ve seen this before? I have a strange memory of watching this when I was really young And it’s always been in the back of my mind I know I’ve seen this before Or something really similar? I just remember it freaked me out and I felt really stressed while watching it Edit: oh jeez I’ve never gotten this many likes before 😳
Theory: maybe you have watched something similar to this when you were younger, but forgot about it but now since you've seen something similar to it you're feeling that emotion?
Ckcez I don’t know.. I remember seeing this exact video in a ‘weird videos’ compilation on RU-vid or something Back when I couldn’t read so I just clicked on anything that looked interesting
