The more I look at those antlers the more I cant unsee them being completely fucked up. If there was ever a deer with antlers like that it would be the most non-typical deer ever.

Also why the fuck is stonehenge in space egypt lol.

Copyright makes this kind of work such a drag. If you try to only use credited or public domain images and sounds, invariably the best one for the job ends up getting tossed for the somewhat shitty compromise option, and you have to search through mountains of files that don't fit in at all, from dodgier and dodgier websites. God help you if you're trying to do this work just off discs of stock files or your own image library.

I just hope SOPA doesn't go ahead, because it only gets worse at that point for web content producers. I think at the moment the only thing keeping creative stuff like this going for smaller enterprises is lack of enforcement.

When Vinny started talking about transitions and I realized he was in Photoshop I realized I was entirely and completely lost. IDK what they hell they do to make their video magic.

Be interested if anyone knows. Why is the file in CMYK not RGB when it's for video content? I always thought you worked in RGB as long as possible and only changed to CMYK at the end for the print process?

It always strikes me how HARD these guys work to look like they don't work hard. It is SHOCKING how much effort went into making something that was intended to look corny and bad.

I watched these when they were first posted and thought it was really interesting to see the behind scenes look at the work involved in all this production. I recently finished my second semester studying graphic design and the new perspective on this work is really interesting.

Huh, never realized A2 was in this video. Guess this is where Yoko Taro got the inspiration.
