As a person who has worked with "parts" that look like the ones in this flick my whole life, I loved it. At first I thought it was amazing CG texturing. I've seen some CG work that came close to the look of stainless steel, but not this close. Then I realized it was all real. Stop frame animation is becoming rare, and this is excellent work. As for a plot, I don't really need a super deep plot to enjoy this flick, a full length feature film would not work, but a short such as this is fine. I think the plot is about survival of the fittest and evolution, which go hand in hand.

Interesting fact: the silver “tail” on the main protagonist is actually an item known as shield braid. It is used to surround a series of wires, known as a wire harness, to significantly reduce signal-to-noise ratio. I know because I used to work with this. And the black woven “skin” on the second creature is known as nomes sleeping, used to reduce friction and chafing on wire harnesses that would otherwise damage wires.

This was one of the best stop motion movies I've ever seen. A lot of effort was put into this. I can see that just by watching the whole movie.

Brilliant, I loved every second. As an amateur animator and hobby machinist, best still-frame animated short I have ever watched.

I can totally see how this might take ten years to make. The guy started out as a Apprentice C.N.C. Machinist, and did stop motion films as a hobby. He got rid of all his set up and scrap parts by taking them home to use for this movie haha! Slowly over the years he had enough of his parts and footage to make a movie.

Ray Harryhausen lives on. Great piece of stop-motion cinematography. 👍🏻

I just don't possess the vocabulary to describe how brilliant this was. I feel like whatever I say wouldn't do it justice.

I watched this a long while ago. To finally watch it again is nostalgia.

I forgot to comment on this video when I watched it a while ago. This is by far one of the best shorts I have ever seen by Dust or any other studio that does these types. The humanoid that was talking about the new world almost half way through had an awesome and creepy voice. Wished there was more of that.

I've watched this film several times now and each time I spot something new. Sheer genius.

This animation was made over a course of 5 years, since it is a hand-made animation with a lot of objects being moved ever so slightly frame by frame. 5 years compacted into 20 minutes...how wow is that?

I have no idea what the heck I’m watching, but I absolutely love it.

This is so well done and smooth, I absolutely love seeing bones used in stop motion like this.

This was an absolute work of art! The time, skill, and imagination this took is amazing! There was also a clear story here.

One person?!! My god, the dedication. What a beautiful piece of art.

This is what you get when you have sharp, intelligent, creative designing minds on acid. BRAVO!

This was incredible. Top to bottom and side to side. Reminiscent of Brothers Quay, etc however, perfectly unique and utterly captivating to behold. Bravo.

Absolutely outstanding, fucking beautiful! The use of stop motion in this film not to mention the odd components used to build the scenery and characters is simply genius. Very reminiscent of 80's claymation.
