Totally fine here, and that was a lovely short film. Loved the use of layering, and for some reason I kept hoping that the wolf and the buffalo(?) would just run off and play jump rope together. :v:

For my part, I bring this really weird short from 1987, animated and directed by Vladimir Goncharov: The Stone Age.

Mastodon's live shows are killer in part because of those rad visuals. Loved the Timber Timbre stuff - the first song reminded me a bit of a mash-up between The Doors and the song See Saw by Pink Floyd in some spots.

Thank you for finding this one! There Will Come Soft Rains is a very good bleak and gloomy take on post-nuclear war and the human dependency on AI/robots. It's a bit sad, since there was a point where kids no longer felt the same angst and fear that kids in the seventies and eighties knew growing up (because the cold war had ended). But now, the nuclear threat has returned, and these shorts are once again relevant. Just replace the goose-neck robot with an Alexa.

On a related note, this one came up, and I feel that it fits here. From 1977, here is Полигон - Polygon by Anatoliy Petrov. When you combine mind reading, AI, and a tank, sometimes things go a bit wonky...

Finally had a free moment to sit down and watch these.

Tyll the Giant was great! The abstract soundtrack reminded me of the really dark soundtrack used in Polanski's version of Macbeth (choral, mostly acoustic and folk sounding). The art style here is unlike anything I've seen before. The battle sequence sounds like it could easily be recreated on the stage, with dancers and a chorus (which is :krad:). Thanks for posting it!

The Separation was also very well made. The wet look to the characters really helped to sell just how messed up the story was. Beautifully captured emotions in this short!

Mr. Madila was fantastic as well. I loved the combination of philosophy and slick talk, and liquid animation. Very cool stuff!

For my contribution, I bring an energetic piece from director Velislav Kazakov: Cuckoo (1983).

This week I bring more from the Cold War era. From the YouTube description:

quote:

Animated Soviet Propaganda S01: American Imperialist

Shooting Range, 1979, V. Tarasov. Soyuzmultfilm.

Based on a play by V. Slatkin. An unemployed American gets a job in a shooting gallery as a live target; the greedy capitalist owner charges patrons double for the chance to shoot at a human being. Tarasov, a fan of J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye,” modeled the film’s hero on Holden Caulfield. An artist as well as an animation director, Tarasov combed through back issues of “America,” a magazine published by the U.S. government during the Cold War, and American comic books, to lovingly create the film’s fabulous New York City back drop. The attention to detail is amazing (and sometimes off base), from the graffiti on the buildings to the brand name on the back of the hero’s tennis shoes.
This job really sucks. Enjoy Shooting Range:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tETXbPu73Zc

This is a 16-minute video demo reel for the Computer Image Corporation of Denver, Colorado, circa 1975, titled "Sight & Sound '75." The demo tape featured logos and TV opening titles for CBS' "The Mama Cass Show," ABC's "Wide World of Entertainment" and "Monday Night Football," "Jack Paar Tonite," WPLJ-FM, WABC-TV, HBO, Bell Telephone, Pontiac, and many other products of the era. Computer Image used an early imaging system called Scanimate, which created vector graphic images that were rendered and then rephotographed off monitors and combined with video switcher effects. While the results are crude compared to what is now done with CGI, the effects are an important historical record of the computer graphics industry of the early-to-mid 1970s.
