Fantastic
Not only caters to my absolute, crippling Lost obsession, but also delvers some seriously breathtaking rotoscoping. I mean, some of this is professional quality. Particularly the beginning and end. if Linklater's looking for staff for another project you'd be in there :P
But yes, brilliant use of the lyrics. If you're obsessed enough with Lost you realise that nothing in this vid is incidental, much like Lost actually. Congrats on a fine piece of work.
EXCELLENT... or maybe I'm just stoned?
Simply put: Best use of Lost, Weird Al, and an unbelievable style of animation. Not only can I not wait for the end of season 3 for my questions to be answered, but just to see another masterpiece from you.
Thanks!
Still going strong
At first I was completely baffled by the graphics you used... they looked TOO good, especially compared with the simple animutation style in the first. I'm guessing you traced them from the show... looks pretty good.
I was surprised you continued with Weird Al, since I didn't think his random polkas combining all the different songs would still work, but somehow you pulled it off very well. Great use of the four-toed statue leg at the end... man, what was UP with that thing, eh?
I just have one thing I didn't understand. Somewhere near the middle, is there a reason the song messes up at the line "Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard"?
They're partially traced over photographs from the show, and partially drawn from scratch, with a few of the uglier shots created using flash's bitmap trace function. it's not always immediately apparent which is which.
As for the song messing up... if you've watched the show, then the image of the person "singing" the line should be explanation enough for the garbled sound. Walt was having some problems communicating with Shannon, remember?
Wow O_o
Love the animation style...it moves so cool...and i love this song...from now on ;)
Ha...
The ending was messed up but very funny. I watched the first one so many times. Glad you made a second.
