  • I'd like to say something about this unique work, but for the sake of clearness I'll begin by saying something else: The real meaning of 'procrastination' can be found here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procrastination . Yes, I really had to review the definition of 'Procrastination' there. I was not diagnosed with such although this video has alerted me to the some facts that I was not aware of. Thank you, thank you very much.
  •  
  • Seriously, this is one of the best animated short films i've seen in years.
    Full of essence.
    Funny thing, I've been doing all these things the narrator says is procrastination, but I don't seem to know what I've been procrastinating from.

    ha ha - love it - as a young child/teen i was marched up and down the hall chanting "procrastination is the thief of time" by my mother who did not appreciate my theory of "why do something today that you can put off until tomorrow?"

    Simply brilliant! Did you use flash or ae or what?
  • Johnny Kelly plus 1 year ago
    Thanks a lot - all the linework was drawn pen/pencil on paper, then scanned in, and put together in After Effects. There's some ropey bits of Maya 3D animation in there too, the playing comuter games bit for example.

    Actually if you want a really long-winded explanation about how the film came about and was made, its included in this talk I gave for the website Its Nice That, last year:
    vimeo.com/5327852
    Its quite long, but the bit about Procrastination is about one third through I think

    really nice piece of graphic design and animation work. My favorite part was the TV inside of TV inside of TV. I do have to say i checked how much time was left in the video at 3 minutes, so by my judge you could shave a bit of time off of the piece and tighten it up. Great concept though, and nice style to execute it in. Cut it down and repost it!

    Procrastination is taking two years to read Heidegger's "Being and Time." Procrastination is Waiting for Godot.
