Nicely done, Artw. Lovely bit of...bits...

Really wish less people would use Vimeo though. Even autogenerated subtitles are better than none for some of us.

wait, the squids had subtitles?

Yeah, no. I guess I wasn't clear. I regularly find the lack of a subtitle option on Vimeo frustrating as I suffer rather bad tinnitus. (And the player seems poorly optimized for lower bandwidth users)

That reminds me of William Tenn's "Will You Walk a Little Faster?".

Very nice, and the aliens seemed really alien! (Also, nice historical irony in its being filmed in Ireland, though I guess there's hardly anywhere on earth where it wouldn't carry a weight of irony.)

Simon Roy does really, really good alien design - see his work on Prophet. And the work here bringing it to life is pretty great for seemingly one guy.

There is a CC/subtitle option on this video, and it works. Right next to the HD option. Might be new?

Very good creature work. Much like.
