This whole piece was an exersize. Not so much to improve my skills, althought that is important, but more to see if I have the patience to commit to something extremely long, tedious, and painstakingly boring. X_X

720 frames of animation later I would like to think "yes"! XD

Not quite the 10,000 frame masterpiece I had in mind, but this will have to do... for now. XD

No if you'll excuse me, I'm going to give my poor eyes and wrist a break. XD

Heh, just recreated this in Promotion to see how long it would take. 13 minutes.

Haha, man, keep them coming! ;D

Nice job mate. Gave me a laugh ;3


greenraven (Level 8 Cannibal) at 8/25/2009 1:58:30 PM

Thank you. ^_^

You know, it's funny, I actually considered of only making this thing just a handful of frames and see if anyone would actually sit through the whole thing and tell me "Hey this thing doesn't go all the way back to twelve, what kind of clock is this?!" XD

The interest doesn't lie in the piece but in the concept : it's very impressive, and the proof is that people overeacted and said "you wasted your time, etc". I think that piece is puzzling : maybe there are only 30 frames in his animation, and nobody is ready to wait and count, and that would be useless. Make me think to this artist who put shit in closed boxes and who sold it for astronomical price. Maybe these boxes were empty, but what is important is the concept, just the concept !

Great work Raven =)

'but please don't make it sound like I pulled something out of my ass in ten seconds.'

You did, and then worked the rest of those hours on it with your eyes closed.

There are soo much better ways to have spend that time, but you could only have thought of those if you spend more than 10 seconds on the idea.

 They  upload stuff for others to see it. =P


greenraven (Level 8 Cannibal) at 8/7/2009 6:55:39 PM

Why does anyone upload anything? XD

And Rayo, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it, you don't like it. XD


lucas_irineu (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 8/7/2009 6:44:55 PM

 Well, I guess that if you made this just for you and not for the others to like, then its fine.

 

But if it was just to prove something to yourself, why upload it? =P


Raytheon (Level 5 Lieutenant) at 8/7/2009 6:42:08 PM

hey everyone i can use the fill tool for 720 frames!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


greenraven (Level 8 Cannibal) at 8/7/2009 11:52:34 AM

That's fine with me. I made this to prove something to myself, and I did. :D

If people don't like, I can't put a gun to their head, now can I? XD


lucas_irineu (Level 5 Killer Klown) at 8/7/2009 8:19:10 AM

 I think you spent all those hours on this for no reason. I mean, its not like anyone is going to look at all the 720 frames. It gets tiring to look at after a while, and most people will just watch it for 20 seconds, and get bored =/


greenraven (Level 8 Cannibal) at 8/7/2009 4:29:01 AM

Thank you. :D


Green_Hell (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 8/7/2009 3:51:25 AM

I think it's a good experiment. I do admire your patience when creating this.


THE KAPPTIN (Level 5 Captain) at 8/6/2009 6:28:31 PM

It's a hilarious piece of conceptual art.


jamesmorrow07 (Level 2 Kukyu) at 8/6/2009 3:17:45 PM

That's awesome!


A.B. Lazer (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 8/6/2009 1:37:38 PM

I think that it could be a fantastic addition to bigger piece to actually have ticking clock in it, and basing some scene or mechanism around it.


greenraven (Level 8 Cannibal) at 8/6/2009 12:54:48 PM

Tomic & TINC, all art is different to different people. Boring? Maybe, everyone has their tastes and opinions.

But "waste of time" is really a subjective term. Since I clearly saw fit to sit through for god knows how many hours trying to finishing this, clearly I beg to differ on the 'waste of time' part. XD

No one says you have to like it, but please don't make it sound like I pulled something out of my ass in ten seconds. XD

I'm afraid I'm with tomic on this one.


NotlikeTheOthers (Level 2 Quiet One) at 8/6/2009 11:30:54 AM

 you made me laugh today!


Manupix (Level 5 Assistant Manager) at 8/6/2009 11:28:06 AM

You're the next Roman Opalka, no doubt of that.

This is crazy, but I'm afraid I like the idea :-(


tomic (Level 11 CEO) at 8/6/2009 11:17:47 AM

even if you're totally into watches, it gets boring after 3 frames. seriously, creating this really was a waste of time.
