I’ll second the pretentiousness. Jeeze, on that linked video large segments of it were just black, and the animation definitely isn’t the least bit realistic or special.
The verdict: creepy and lame.

It’s awful as a recreation of the dance, but if you just take it as an animation style, it ends up looking kind of cool. The longest clip had a very eerie quality to it, almost like paper dolls but definitely venturing into the Uncanny Valley.

Atrocious. Not even a basic innate sense of timing. Not a new technique either. And he does sound incredibly pretentious.

I don’t get it, was anyone fooled by this? I mean, it’s not even very well made.

Fairly clever, but oh, so pretentious…

Yeah, well, I work as lion tamer in a primary school.

It’s pretty nifty … We don’t coordinate postings with Boing Boing, and considering that we cover the same grounds it’s actually interesting that not too many of our posts overlap.

I don’t read Boing Boing so it’s not redundant for everyone. Just b/c one site posts something doesn’t automatically make it offlimits for other sites… geeze.

Anywho.. don’t really see anything special with this post other than giving this guy more view hits. The videos are only a few seconds long, and most of that is taken up by just introducing the 2nd clip.

Yeah, most of us also read Boing Boing, so this is rather redundant.

I rarely feel this way about Neatorama posts and never before one by Miss C, but this is a complete waste of time.
