Every time I watch this film I always get a kick out of him throwing the seed and having a tree sprout up immediately to knock Martin over. Such a clever gag.

Suddenly I’m questioning if that seed just floated through the air for a couple centuries, when taking into account we saw it from the perspective of the Rocks.

I love the premise of this, and it really rings true to me. Humans are so fast-paced that we don't stop and look around at what will truly last. And those rocks just sit there and watch us collapse and undo everything, before just casually going about their business again like nothing ever happened. Scary and true.

I love this clip. I love the irony with the "built to last" signage and the dark humor. It is only dark humor because we humans are not just completely altering the natural landscape, or dominating all life on earth, but accelerating our own downfall as a civilization. The rocks are here to witness our extinction as they have done with the civilizations before us. I must admit, I was reading "Is It Time to Shift Our Environmental Thinking? A Perspective on Barriers and Opportunities to Change" commentary by Daigle and Vasseur (2019) when I saw a reference to this short clip. You can read the commentary, it's a really incredible writing. If you are looking for the most effective solution to the contemporary environmental issues, you need to change your mindset on how you view yourself in relation to the natural world. In other words, transformative change starts with you.

Yeah. That sort of scene is where the theme of the video breaks down. The pine cone would not have gone anywhere since the rock creature's arm would be moving so slow that it would just roll out of it's hand at the end of the pitch instead of making it to it's target. Not to mention it would have rotted away long before that point even.

I was curious and checked up on the makers. Heidi Wittlinger seems to have left the field, and Arvid Uibel died young, before the film was even published. But Chris Stenner continued to do animation professionally and is by now working in the major league. He won an Emmy for his work with Game of Thrones. Still only one Oscar nomination - this one.
