Platige Image has just released a long trailer to Damian Nenow’s short
film Paths of Hate and it’s quite simply some of the most amazing bits of
animation you’ve ever seen. Even in this shortened version we get to see a nice long look at a dogfight that conveys the theme of the piece- the inanity of war.
The (translated)
synopsis of the short from their
website:
A
tendency to blind hatred, a peculiar amok or a destructive fury lead to
total destruction in the end. Neither the scale nor the ideology
matters. It doesn’t matter whether it’s about two people or a million
people. Human life lasts only a second. Future generations get no more
than scars – bloody traces, paths of hate… .
Watch this sucker in fullscreen HD if you can!
Image is a Polish production house perhaps best known in the
States
known for their work on Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist. Yes,
they’re the people behind CHAOS
REIGNS.
premiere on the 26th at the Multikino Złote Tarasy film festival in Poland (the same day as an unlikely double feature of Machete and Entangled).
Pray that it makes its way over here somehow!

Interesting. It's like the Motion Comics technique to the Nth degree.
That was pretty Gods damn beautiful.
For a movie about "the inanity of war" it sure makes romanticizes it and features a hip soundtrack…
Art style is very similar to Borderlands.
yeah that IS the best animation i'v seen all year. FOR A VIDEO GAME. ffs shitty cell shaded bollocks. And anybody who wants to come up behind me and make smarmy comment just know your a dipshit, you only do it because i cant reply to it.

First thing I thought was video game. Second thing I thought was Borderlands. Third thing I thought was "who fucking cares." I just picked up PONYO on Blu-ray, so you're gonna have to do better than cel shaded CGI to impress me right now.
Gee whiz the internet is just chock full of miserable people who will complain about anything at the drop of a hat. Anyways…. I thought the footage was beautifully done. Thanks for the posting Alex, I hope this makes the rounds at some short film festivals here in the L.A. area.
Hey, bopgy, what do you mean you can't reply to it? Is this your first day with a computer? Or maybe it's because you don't know the difference between "your" and "you're"?
Ponyo was some beautifu animation, especially on BluRay. However, Ponyo was last year, so the argument can still stand. Doesnt matter how the animation is created, matters only how it looks. One man's opinion…
In re: comment #9, from Marco: I couldn't agree more.
I'M ON THE INTERNET AND I DON'T APPROVE!
