This is an accurate representation of an actual job. It's basically a routine you have to follow, but it doesn't mean it's good to follow. Sometimes you need a little spice in your life, like a change of rhythm.

There was so much emotional expression from that blank block face. It was amazing

I think this represents how society expects us to move along to it's beat, to work as it wants us to, and how some of us find that we can no longer continue to go on like that. We can discover this is so many ways, and not all of us agree with this change, but in the end, we all realise how happy it makes us to be different.

少し本題とはずれた考え方だと思うけど、黒線が消える→エネルギーが生まれるという風に考えると、1:28で100枚くらいの紙の束(すべて長方形)でエネルギーになってたのが、3:08で感情任せに描いた一枚の線でエネルギーになったってことで、すごい才能なんじゃないか？

the sequences of the drummer in his heart were so incredibly expressive; the movements and colors strongly contrasted what happened in the animation before. Loved it.

These short films are simply the best

Okay but props to the actual drummer who did the audio for this. What a legend.

I like how the cube guy heart starts glowing brighter and brighter the longer they follow there own rhythm.

when you try and be like the others, but you truly are different.

well i'm a drummer for 9 years now and i can totally feel with the man who plays with his heart! i loved the way how the impression of the own beat was made 'cause i know if im Sitting alone i had to tap with my fingers on a table or on my leg to create a beat

A touch I would have liked, is to see his wall scribbles stay, instead of fade, signifying that only those who are willing to not conform to society are remembered

4:22 When your boss said "Your Fired!"

This is a pretty accurate representation of what happens when I try to draw a straight line without a ruler...

I think it symbolizes that you can think you are comfortable with following everyone else, being like everyone. But when you get your own style it satisfies you more.

one of the best shorts EVER seen so far!

The fact that this dude can make perfectly straight lines yet doesn't use them appalls me XD

This is what really happens inside your computer - a million of tiny square-y men draw squares. And when one of them goes nuts like that - you get a BSOD.

there is always that one person who stands out

3:05 when they tell me to write my name in cursive

4:02 me when I’m trying to pay attention to my teacher

At that moment, he knew that he had fucked up. But at that moment, he knew, he felt alive.

The theme of squares throughout the short is brilliant! Sends the perfect mood! Great Job!

the inside spirit in all drummers in a band, wanting break free and let loose the burning sensation of lashing out in a long well deserved drum solo.

This protagonist is me trying to draw better lineart for my drawings. Okay, real talk, this is awesome! The concept is creative and handled super well. I like how the animation is super choppy when things are "normal" and "uniform" and becomes super smooth as things get more "irregular."

that would be trippier even if you ended it with that "cube" everyone works in as being a block in somebody's body. kind of like adding to the idea of the "tiny voice" in us all

i think the moral is dont try to blend in with society, be different from everyone, follow your own beat/drums, and move on as "you"

Being different is not a problem. It's just you being you in your own creative ways.

Great! A video animation coordinated so well with the sounds of solo drumming, I've never seen anything like it! But as a guitarist I would find it even cooler to underline such an animation based on a simple riff with an Eddie Van Halen solo. Actually, this would work with almost any instrument. But of course the drums have the percussive tones that can be impressively synchronized with the images ... Absolutely great!

Wow... I could go on forever about why this is an amazing, beautiful, and perfect creation in every way. This isn't a video, it's art.

Guys his heart was "beating"

Oh my god.... when is the pen ever gonna run out of ink

This looks like me playing with the beat while draw and then disaster

The birth of a drummer is a beautiful thing

...and finally someone explains scribble art

One of the best animations yet!

I love it's ending. when two beats combine together.

Basically when I try to write with my non-dominant hand.

1:13 being the only guy at work who seems to enjoy his job.

Other people :"Wow😍😍😍" Me:"Why didn't he draw a face on himself with that pen ?😐😑😐"

Anyone else got chills down their back from hearing the marker?

We start the day with pen and paper. Sit on a table, open the lid, draw the same box and close the lid again. By this we feel our life to be a loop of single beat. Let’s do something different and worthy that makes us happy. Let’s get out of the box and create new beats. Let’s get our heart “Beating”. Let’s remain “living”.

Me every time I try tnot draw a perfect circle

Nostalgic

OMG! I've been looking for this video for a long time! I think this video is gone :0 This video bring back all old memory :)

When all you've ever done is conform but all of a sudden you can no longer be what people expect of you it can be scary! But don't panic, sometimes you just have take a new direction and find something you can do! Never be afraid to do what's in your heart you may find more meaning and purpose then you every imagined!

I love this so much! Im a percussionist myself, but I've lost my interest over time, however this film really inspired me! I may begin drumming again, thank you very much for this outstanding work!

4:20 when you realize only 3 people showed up to Area 51

Muchas veces, estos cortometrajes nos dan moraleja de no ser un Peón mas de la sociedad. Seguir nuestro propio ritmo por como vemos la vida, algo que nos fue dado para disfrutar y no andar toda nuestra vida pensando entre solo 4 paredes

The power to create and break free from the norm is the best

This is the type of short film that makes people shot out "MORE!"

This animation is perfect to those people whoe love the drawing and the drum

The drummer in his heart represents the rules and conventions or the pression, the influence of society around the world over people, they can drive you out of what you would like to do in your life, represented in the beginning of this short film if you can't control them, you will do what makes you unhappy. Is the sad moments we see in the end of this short film, very instructive, the lesson : Makes what you likes not what other want you do, even it can make you earned a lot money if you are not comfortable you will just do it for money without joy and your heart will unhappy or in trouble....

awesome every time , just genius! the character, the George Orwell's 1984 setting, the DRUMMER o.m.g, the drummer, bleakness made really sweet looking, animation, direction....just unbelievable. awesome job!!!

Fight the system!!

The start makes me think of a kit kat commercial

imagine if this was a rhythm game also this can represent either the fact that whenever there's music, the heart tends to follow along, or simply arrhythmia.

thinking outside the box... amazing!

And then he ran out of ink.

I love how the normal beat and the drums goes very well together at the end

Middle and end of video: *cool stuff* Beginning: *h h h h h h h*

Thought it was going to zoom out and be a dead pixel on a monitor.

who was reminded about the movie "A Wrinkle In Time" when every one did something at the same time

2:21 WORKER 00195 YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!!!

Hype+drawing+music=this

guys we've found it the original minecraft

This is what happens when you try to make a creative person think inside the box. lol

This dood knows how to draw perfect long squares! Too much power...

The irony of the man’s freeform rhythm synchronizing with the enforced metronome!

NALU Dragneel I like this one! It pretty much means to follow the beat of your own drum :)

I can't describe the great feeling I have right know and every time I watch this video ! It's so deep ! So Strong ! and so simple at the time !! great job ! It's amazing !!!

This actually left me shaking.

Bro, this was such a good animation that I just had to find it again

That was cool. Quite intense and profound but very minimalist at the same time. I normally greatly prefer hand drawn 2d over CGI 3D but in this case the style and the story really lent itself to the medium.

Very cool. Loved the sound track.

You have no idea how long i have been looking for this

Okay, but, not a word was spoken at all. Like, only the credits showed any words. And yet, the amazing synchronization of the music, the visuals, and the sound, the amount of emotion packed into a bunch of rectangulat shapes, that form a humanoid creature, that doesn't even have a face, the way everything moves kinda choppily, but conveys every action and emotions clearly, the fact, that there is literally no music, other than ambient distant synth, and percussion, the way that one cube spins around, glowing red, to symbolize a heart beating?? THE BEATS THEMSELVES, INCLUDING BOTH THE REGULAR ONE, AND THE MAD DRUMS?????? THE CONTRAST OF MONOCHROME GREYS AND WHITES WITH THE BRIGHT RED????????????? I LOVE THIS SHORT SO MUCH.

It's literally a beat box lmfaoo!! I love this!!

Dare to be yourself and not what you "think" others want you to be. :)

Omg...it's been years since I've watch this video...AGAIN!

The drums is like the noise or yelling you here at night when your really tired and it’s really late

Listen to your heart ♥

for best effect make it sound neat read this aloud with the clocks beat the sound we hear inside our brain the sound that gives our ears no strain the beat goes on externally for all to hear and all to see the sound that never seems to end a beat that all our hearts can mend the soul that makes the rhythm strong much louder the beats one song and while they seem to sound the same all in a trance lost in the game my heart beats faster by the tick an inspiration light bulb flick and with this enough is said about the rhythm in your head

It's unsettling to find a new path, hard to venture into it, terrifying to leave the safe and well-known, and comforting to feel both safe and happy.

This animation is too good for my life

And that kids, was how rock n' roll was created

I guess we could call it..... -Applies sunglasses- A beat box?

Isn't it a wonderful harmony they make together? If only they could see how much they need each other, how beautiful they are side by side. Fate and free will end in the same loam. Why not make our melodies side by side? We sound so much better when we're playing for ourselves, for each other, than when we try and drown each other out.

Moral of the story: drawing a perfect square is too hard

I liked! The video shows how important it is able to demonstrate in gestures (or words) what goes on inside us.

This is the artistic prefection of creativity. Great video!

I'm so happy I had a kit-kat sitting nearby

Did you notice the heartbeat drummer in some scenes

this gives me so much anxiety lol

A pretty deep short film. and btw, I love the beat of the drums. haha!

I love how dreamy it looks. Blur works really well

Damn, the characters without a face have their own incomprehensible charm

5:24 he realized ah fuck I forgot to put the cap back on

basically me in the office... 😕

Holy fuck, I finally found it I saw this video a few months after it came out and now I finally found it again, years later

This new people Playground update is looking sick
