Brilliant, simply brilliant.
January 16th, 2010 at 8:25 am
Absolutely fantastic. Incredible style mixed with an eccentric plot. Keep the great work up!
January 16th, 2010 at 8:32 am
Quite amazing! Saved for sure ^_^
January 16th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
WOW…speechless…very very thought provoking
Thank you for sharing your work.
January 16th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
I loved it!!! great story, animation and concept…91 centimeters….very well done!
January 16th, 2010 at 10:19 pm
Fantastic work, thought-provoking concept. What really puzzled me, however, was when he was looking through the telescope. On both occasions that he does that, he appears to be looking right into it. As every other part of the film is so well thought out, I’m sure it’s not a mistake. So then, why?
January 16th, 2010 at 10:27 pm
Quothi: He needs to be 91cm to interact with any solid object, but he was simply looking through the telescope. watch the part where he needs to adjust it and you see he peers through, moves to the side, telescope moves, and he peers through again.
January 16th, 2010 at 10:40 pm
Of course, his vision hasn’t shifted 91cm, just his ability to interact with material things. Thanks. I can get on with my day now.
January 17th, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Absolutely amazing. The swing ending really makes you go Huh.. and start thinking. great job communicating your point with precision. Wishing you all the best <3
January 18th, 2010 at 11:29 am
Fortement intéressant! J’étais très marquer par cette film. C’était très bien faits, ingénieuse comme idée!
January 18th, 2010 at 12:46 pm
Très intéressant. Je devine qu’il était schizophrène?
January 18th, 2010 at 3:16 pm
Very interesting. Is he supposed to be schizophrenic?
January 19th, 2010 at 3:56 am
Shopped
January 20th, 2010 at 9:53 am
Smashing piece of work!!
January 21st, 2010 at 6:36 pm
Would be hard to make love!
January 22nd, 2010 at 1:57 am
He is schizophrenic. 1 of 100
January 22nd, 2010 at 9:12 pm
I just can’t find the words…
January 24th, 2010 at 10:19 am
this is amazing.
January 24th, 2010 at 9:36 pm
wow! nice work! thanks to share!
January 27th, 2010 at 8:54 am
amazing and unique
January 27th, 2010 at 3:22 pm
wow. that was really amazing i found myself having tears in my eyes. feeling so sad for his loneliness.
January 28th, 2010 at 4:58 pm
That was an amazing piece of work.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:37 pm
Wow. Absolutely gorgeous, a refreshing look at mental illness.
January 29th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
Awfully depressing ending though… a schizophrenic man struggles and fails to hold himself together, ultimately ending up in a state of utter detachment. Beautiful and heartbreaking.
February 1st, 2010 at 1:05 pm
I almost cried with this ;l This was so unbelievable good.
February 2nd, 2010 at 2:55 am
Beautiful!
February 2nd, 2010 at 2:05 pm
this is awesome and such a great idea.
but it’s so sad…life is so tragic.
February 8th, 2010 at 5:36 am
C’est génial, vraiment jolie. Que increible visión, gran inspiración para muchas otras reflexiones.
February 8th, 2010 at 6:22 am
Really nice, I lovee it
February 8th, 2010 at 9:43 pm
The story is so touching and the video passed the story perfectly. Congratulations!
February 9th, 2010 at 10:59 am
marvelous.
February 11th, 2010 at 3:41 am
Wow! Spectacular, but at the same time a little bit sad. Makes me wonder what if…? But no…
Your work in ten minutes is really Fantastic.Congratulations!
C’est Magnifique!
February 12th, 2010 at 7:31 am
this is officially my favorite animated short. absolutely genius!
February 13th, 2010 at 12:55 pm
Awesome!
That’s all I can say.
February 13th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
this is incredible…
to capture the absurdity of disconnect from mundane and trivial daily interaction in such a simple and encompassing concept is beyond imagination….good work…
the ability to feel so far beyond human connection is completely and perfectly expressed…it evokes a catharsis that is truly and most honestly soulful….
wonderful expression and beautiful delivery…
thank you for this
February 15th, 2010 at 2:37 am
can somebody that speaks french tell me the actual words, in french, starting from 11:25 to 12:08, please
February 18th, 2010 at 4:47 am
Terrific!!!!!
February 24th, 2010 at 4:29 am
When I saw it I said:How brillaint do you have to be to have such idea!?
Very beautiful.
February 26th, 2010 at 10:32 am
nice! it’s brilliant
March 1st, 2010 at 7:38 pm
It has a logic fail, cuz he’s 91 cm from one side, so he could just go to the other side and pick up the phone. You cant be 91cm from every side.
Other than that, it was great:)
March 2nd, 2010 at 12:01 pm
Oin Bien, in relation to the phone, he’s 91cm to the right of it, as with everything else. His ability to interact with material has been moved 91cm to the right; so there is no logic fail.
March 3rd, 2010 at 1:39 am
WOW! Nice Work loved, is there more stuff from you?
March 7th, 2010 at 7:39 am
bravo
March 9th, 2010 at 11:34 pm

Bravo
March 11th, 2010 at 1:16 am
Absolutely amazing work everything from the original idea to the quality of the animation itself.
Absolument tout un travail extraordinaire de l’idée initiale à la qualité de l’animation elle-même.
March 11th, 2010 at 7:56 am
unique
March 13th, 2010 at 2:22 pm
Beautiful, loved it. Great job.
March 14th, 2010 at 10:53 am
It’s perfect. Thank you.
March 14th, 2010 at 12:12 pm

March 15th, 2010 at 2:53 am
Beautiful and heartbreaking. Amazing vision and creativity. Excellent.
March 15th, 2010 at 5:46 am
that was absolutely the best thing i’ve seen. i got so in tune with the character, i loved it!
March 15th, 2010 at 7:38 am
Wow, simply incredible. This blew my mind.
March 16th, 2010 at 1:11 pm
This is one of the most moving things I have ever experienced. It will haunt me for a long time, if not forever. The image of Mont Saint-Michel will be with me forever in this context now too.
March 17th, 2010 at 9:24 pm
aaghin:
11:25 to 12:08
“On ne précise jamais aux gens de combien ils sont fous.
On dit juste qu’ils ont perdu la boussole, qu’ils sont à côté de la plaque… paumé, quoi.
Alors un peu plus, un peu moins, finalement, à quoi ça peut servir, de savoir… de savoir de combien de centimètres on s’est éloigné.
La seule chose dont je suis sûr aujourd’hui c’est que d’où je suis ça ne me fait plus rien, plus rien.”
March 19th, 2010 at 4:48 am
wow. just wow. this is amazingg
March 24th, 2010 at 1:12 pm
Beautiful cinematography, interesting new idea, and very depressing ending. This short film is so original and beautiful though, I don’t care how depressing the ending was. I was gawking in awe at the computer screen, enraptured in the beauty of it all. Poor guy.
March 27th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
i have such a hard on for this… like.. wow
March 27th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
Yeah, but.. When he interacts with his telescope, he’s standing right behind it, and can see through it, but when he’s driving, he adjusts his rear-view mirror from 91cm away and is obviously looking through it as if it were in front of him.. o.O; Which is it?
March 28th, 2010 at 3:20 am
This is beautiful. It brought me to tears.
March 28th, 2010 at 10:36 am
amazing, just amazing. but definitely a little long. I think it could have ended when the second asteroid was about to hit him. that’s my 2 cents
March 28th, 2010 at 11:01 am
brilliant.
May 3rd, 2010 at 2:53 am
great post as usual!

where the hell is it?
bloody owner removed it, heck!!!
August 2nd, 2010 at 6:09 pm
Sorry if I’m missing something here, but in his house, his physical form is to the right, and his interaction form is on the left, but when he’s driving, it’s the other way around?
Unless he’s always 91 CM to the East (or West / North / South, I can’t really tell) of whatever, that would explain that and the compass on the floor (:
October 16th, 2010 at 9:59 am
I like blogs like this one, short and straight to the point without any unnecessary fillers. Please continue this way.
November 18th, 2010 at 9:48 am
Excellent work. I am, also, an animator and have MUCH appreciation for this piece. It is very well done, in all aspects.
I have, also, felt this phenomenon. The feeling of being displaced or partially-detatched from my body. I had never considered it being out of my mind or how much of an offset there was.
This short film portrays the feeling very well.
November 18th, 2010 at 8:18 pm
I’ve watched it three times. Funny how a few stones, arranged in just the right way, sing.
August 8th, 2011 at 5:43 pm
