  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

BlinkyTM online

loved it! really really well done. congrats.

and while i understand that the boy is troubled about his parents fighting i'm happy the little shithead ended up as meat-balls.

great work! the cinematography is top notch. as is the overall cg integration.
the rain looks especially good. best cg water i've seen in a while. it triples the intensity of those shots. is it all cg or also combined footage?

Dude, I can guarantee you that rain was f&%·"$ real! I was holding that heavy red with an anamorphic 180mm... handheld... under the rain... with a 6x6 matte box and viewfinder and all the shit... for hours...

So yes, it was real. But worth it. XD

Hahaha but the rain on the robot was all CGI
 
Congrats Ruairi and Macgregor on your staggering work of heartbreaking genius. Or was that the other way around?

100K hits in 2 days?! WTF. Let's push this sucker to 1 million and see if the Internet works as it should.

I really really want to see this work. Mainly for my own motivation - EG if something this good doesn't get a feature deal, we might as well go home.

If we don't hear "after working his ass off seemingly-forever, REDUSER Ruairi Robinson actually starts rolling on a feature as a result of posting his awesome short film" or else I will be a sad turtle. Seriously if this doesn't work - then how good (and lucky) do you have to be?

Anyone else feel the same way? Please, REDUSERs - you guys have at least one of the following:
-power
-money
-connections
-talent
-enthusiasm
-sex-appeal
-twitter followers
-a pulse

This is the time to user your powers for good! Hook him up! I'm doing my best at least - partially because I'm just glad I finally have something I can spam people to watch that's actually cool.

I told RR last night he'd get 100K today, and it's going way past that.

Is the idea to put this out over net instead of film fests, Ruairi?

+1

If you can't get some serious work after a short like this... then I guess it really is all just luck and connections.

Although this was REALLY amazing... my only constructive piece of criticism is that the writing in the beginning when the kid was getting Blinky was kind of awkward. I just didn't buy that it would play out that way. Sounded too scripted. But overall, it kicked ass, so it's probably not too big of a deal. Also I loved Blinky's voice, it was PERFECT!

Bruce Allen... for president.

I don't know how to do it, because these sites are weird, but if someone gets this to IGN.com and Kotaku, and on REDDIT, it could hit 1M easily.

Bruce is right, show your support for Ruairi and talent, get him the views.

Posting on my FB right now, no large contribution, but I support.
 
Kholi is very cool and awesome and flatters me way too much :)

BACK TO BLINKY - 2011 Likes on Vimeo! And 171,000 views...

Ruairi, you really should need to get cranking on having some Blinky action figures and posters ready to sell. If Hollywood doesn't bite, fund your feature that way :)

You know... because I'm sure you have so much free time to do all that.

I'd try to get the figures manufactured myself but I don't have free time either. Anyone know some unemployed toy designers / 3D printing-experienced folks?

If I could get a Blinky figure with blood-stains on his face, holding a bowl of meatballs, I'd buy it right now...
 
Wow, great work! I agree with everyone that this is the kind of work that gets you more work with a much bigger budget, so great job!

Yes, there needs to be a t-shirt with Blinky and a plate of spaghetti on the front with "Do you like the meatballs?" It'd sell to a lot of people who watch this short.

Good luck with everything, Ruairi. I hope it's the beginning of a journey for you...

Showed it to friends - the room was cheering for several minutes afterwards :)
Also, seconded about Blinky action figure!
