Bloody balls! Make sure to stick around for the surprise ending.

Supposedly no significant computer generated effects were added.

Wild. It actually doesn't look much like CG at the beginning. Or actually, it looks like CG in that it looks a lot like something people would normally do with CG, but the lighting, radiosity, etc look very real. Obviously, CG gets better and better, so there are no guarantees.

I missed the surprise.

not very surprising, except for the fact that Youtube showed a "10:00" duration and it ended after 3:12... more relieving....

Allegorical? Surprise? Questions? I don't see it.

I did like the music, though. Thanks.

This is exactly what happens whenever I try to play Guitar Hero.

That was a great, great video.

Robot High School allegorically questions what happens when our perspective and views of reality are manipulated by those in authority without any moral concern for the outcome.

Totally.

I think it's an excellent video, however, it's hard to reconcile "minor post-production cleanup" and credits for "rotoscoping".

But the idea gets kudos and it's enjoyable.

For one-take music videos made recently, I think I'll stick with "Work it Out".

I had the bloody balls when I didn’t go commando in training a bit back. This was nothing like that. Which, y’know, is really a good thing.
