I loved it, it definitely had your signature "wot" style, but I don't think its your best work, the music in the other one's really help bring it all together, I think that this video was lacking that sound that makes it all flow nicely.
Reviews for "Ancient Cosmos"
The idea is cool, not too sure if you mean the pope is an alien or if aliens are being used as an excuse by humanity to control and induce fear but still...why the pope? lol the catholic church is so weak these days...and its always catholics why couldnt it be a rabbi or a muslim dude..lol

Actually the catholic church is one of the most powerful political organisations in the world. However I didnt do a rabbi or a Muslim dude probably because I live in the western world, so catholic imagery is much more relevant to me. I like Catholic imagery more than any of the other christian sect, I also like Hindu stuff which I don't have any connection to it. I grew up watching Fellini also so thats is a big influence. This animation is more about the idea of interconnected conspiracies and wacky theories. But again, of course if you are in a christian country the religious iconography you reference will be christian, why on earth would it be Krishna or something? Krishna and buddah are big in India or Tibet, you know? Asia. If you want criticism of Islam read The Satanic Verses or something.
I seem to be getting this feeling your trying to silently say something with this. That said I mean the use of the pope and a triangle which is known to be associated with illuminate conspiracy theories. And also the drilling of the forehead seems like its a new agey thing like. So what I got was with a title like "Ancient Cosmos" I'm left with thinking this clip is about how the pyramids are space ships and the aliens have taken over.
So just askin is this right?
I'd like to know if this was intentional or im just not thinking right.
spacefader responds:
You are pretty close, the drill in the head is more like quackery than new age stuff though.
Not bad but I really wish you would really explain more about whats really going on, also is it just me or is pixelated derangedness creepier than pretty much anything else??? You just cant seem to make a guy look more deranged and crazy when it's pixelated. Good work you seem to be getting even better at it.

Ok this is about conspiracies behind the show Ancient Aliens and the movie Chariots of the Gods. People have conspiracies that are like kind of super conspiracies that imply that all of human civilisation was started by aliens. These aliens are like gods to us an thus we created religions to explain them. The scientist is a guy called Giorgio A. Tsoukalos who is big in to this stuff. Note: I just find this movement aesthetically interesting.
A lot of torture scenes are pointless. I am not against violence but there was no point. Also, why would you identify the Church with violance? Your work is astounding but reckless nonetheless. The animation and the lights are great but for an attack on conservative values you will receive a 3/5.

Eh???? I thought I was attacking liberal values????
