Cool Animated Video Set In A Future Post-Apocalypse World, Or Detroit Yesterday
I watched Blade Runner the other day. According to their timeline, in seven years, it’ll be raining all the time in Los Angeles, and everyone there will be Oriental. But they’ll still read paper newspapers.
But hey — flying cars.

I liked the pseudepigraphal tales better. The ones where the hero runs under the elephant and swords him in the belly. Of course, the hero is crushed, but the idea is far richer, and by an order of about 100:1.
Damn kids these days.
I love animation like this, but in RUIN is a step above what I’ve seen so far – this is simply amazing.
Love the story line too – I hope he keeps the story alive – it seems like there is more to be had. Maybe a studio will pick it up.
Fun stuff.
Hi Casey- And their music is just noise.
Hi Tom- The notes on the YouTube page say they’ve been picked up by a studio already.
FYI: Just to demonstrate the difference in digital animation technologies from 2004 to present, take a look at Atom Films (now part of the Comedy Channel which sucks) “Rockfish”.

This was state of the art in 2004/2005 and this film won a number of awards – some of them very prestigious including Cannes believe it or not.
Created by Tim Miller, the short was supposed to be picked up by FOX for expansion (the fisherman’s name is – get this – Sirius Kirk. Inside Star Trek joke). Never did even though Vin Diesel was going to be the Producer and money guy.
Anyway, Blur Studios went on to construct and animate many opening sequences for video games and commercials. I wish they had expanded this to a full film.
I was glued to the screen the entire 8 1/2 minutes. Hard to believe how animation has matured. It even makes Clutch Cargo look dated.
