Dude.

That was creepier than usual. Noice job.

Have you considered horror films? Also I have to ask, did you use sparklers? I wish my camera could take pictures that fast.

I thought it was quite good. Very surreal

That was really good, creepy too.

You should upload it to NG. :3

That scared me.

And I don't mean like, "that was so weird" kind of scary.

I mean I was afraid, and I wanted to click out, but I just kept watching.

you should submit it to NG even though it's not fllash.

It was cool.

What exactly did you use as a light source?

Pretty cool.

I wonder what a burglar would think, breaking into your house to find a bunch of sown up manikin heads and sawed off hands.

I would leave.

Ray Bradbury here
First may I congratulate you on your confidence for self promotion. It is something some artists fear. I deeply enjoyed your animation and all of its surreal wonders and untraditional narrative.
Keep making cartoons for yourself and keep going. Lots of love Ray.

THAT WAS AWSOME!

It's your best stop-motion yet, beautiful to look at, yet quite disturbing...
I can't help but notice the tubes going into the head again, that happened in one of your cartoons too...
Perhaps a recurring theme that I've spotted? Like David Lynch and his recurring theme of stages in his films...

And who exactly would enjoy that?

Mmm.. truly brilliant.

Wow. Absolutely amazing :0

holy heck that was lovely.
also what sort of person leaves mannequin heads in someone's backyard

David Firth
You Are God Of The North
and the movie was fucked up
Please Come to NG meetup to be perfectly honest i want to meet you lol

Good Stuff

Very Chris Cunningham.. I like it!

These are what my dreams are like, almost identical to this stop-motion film.

At the start, the tap, is that water cling film? =3

Wow nice mate! this reminds of of "The ring" the death tape. it's not going to kill me is it? =[ Very good!

I love the pig face part, creepy as hell.

the whole thing was incredibly inspiring.

So much beauty in one movie! I love you.

did you do these circles by moving a lighter? that must ve been awefully lot work. good job

Absolutely beautiful. I especially love what you did with the lights

Its good to remind everyone here that flash isnt the be all and end all of animation.

Ah...All of your work amuses me, David.

That was some real creepy shit. Thank you for killing my inside, david :D

wow thats like thos colledge animations at the toronto anamation college

I really like the distorted images at the beginning. I wish I had wacky mannequin heads in my shed.

I thought it was awesome!
your works are always disturbing and I love your stop-motion ones in particular.
It was like your other video "hell" only the animation was better.
I loved the part with the pig head in the screen.
also are those the same masks you used in "Mouth Band"?

It reminded me a lot of We Are The Strange. Only better. That movie was too messy, I could never tell what was going on.

Drugs are bad...

What time at night do the demons visit you?

guess i'm crazy cause i didn't care for it.

enjoyed the lighting, which is what you were aiming for. so i guess you succeeded haha. but overall i dunno. i didn't find it that creepy.

This really is awesome.

And, a complete side note. You like Neutral Milk Hotel? Have you ever been into Akron/Family at all? They do some similar stuff, but a little less depressing.

that was frikken creepy.

screw brains out/in light play egg=life skull=death motif of partial humanity and subhumanity and pointless struggle freaking creepy modern troll bricke in to digital world mumbling is incomprehension light is light of man

thats what i got from it.

that was so creepy...how can you stand to have that stuff in your room/house or w/e?? I'd be so scared! haha Very awesome looking though....sound and visuals were just reeking of originality. Quite the head turner.

That was pure visual pleasure. But you must tell us how you created those fantastic rings of light. Please do.

That was extremely well done. You're one of a kind, Dave.

Best yet! you did an amazing job too! Chap

great work! im very surpised and impressed that marcus wrote the soundtrack for it, and not the other way around.

how did you pull over some of the really high contrast images without editing them? lens filters?

i just kinda shit myself...i like the manichans whered you get them

This rocks but the first time i saw it ,it scared the living Shit outta me!LoL

kicked the shit outta me . Nice work !

u are fuckin sick but i love it never stop makin the sick stuff

youre a fantastic artist.

i think that's about what happens inside my head when i try to think...

also you should add funny little dansing potatoes who pee beer out of several holes made with a big knife

a BIG knife

What else do you have around your house

WTF. it wasnt scary, but it was fukin creepy. good lighting effects ,keep it up.

You are a genius
& Insanely creative
:D

Will you bear my children?

Bizzare as always. Great stuff. That's definately quality work. I was watching wondering if there was a message in it or was it just something you wanted to accomplish randomly. Keep up the good work man. *Cough Whens the next salad fingers coming out cough*

This was an awesome video, so strange, and your technique was really impressive. Must have taken a long time to make. Love your work David.

and if you don't mind me asking, are you planning anymore installments in the salad fingers series?

Pure genius. Wonderful, wonderful animation.

its very nice. i like it much better than hell.

Is crooked orcus rot an anagram?

wow... this is really f**king good, creeping and disturbing but yet left me in a trace n i couldnt move my eyes away from it =D

dude make more of these, n try to create a whole new level, wait no, game of disturbing hehe

sorry id pee my sullf

One of the most screwed up things I've ever seen...but it looked so good! We need a copy here on Newgrounds!

I saw this on your website and I (yes annoyingly) posted it on my myspace, along with salad fingers. I love it. Everyone else that watches it says "I'm am disturbed for life". That is one of many reasons i enjoy your work.

The effects were amazing. Incredible job there Firth.

Eye candy! nice work on the lighting and creating interesting effects with simple tools.

sweet jesus christ that made my skin crawl!!
i just didnt know what was gonna come next... just something around every corner. It was awesome!

Beautiful work! Marcus' music is the perfect compliment to your imagery. Are you going to stick with the stop motion technique now? It really suits the eeriness of your work, gives it a harder more realistic edge.

is salad fingers seriously over?

Hey that was a freaking scary thing. But hey, im taking a graphic design clas this year and i could be presented with the oppurtunity to do things like this. Thanks for the inspiration. (My novice films can be seen on youtube)

O_o" Creeeeepy!

Was that trying to send some message that I didn't get?

mannnnnnnn...you should do silent hill or something like this
it would kick azz

You have the strangest type of art, and you have a sick mind. I THINK THATS AWESOME. Sometimes it's gross

I'm still trying to get rid of milkman. Ughh,

Aye Aye Aye.
I tried something like this with my film "Sub-conscious".
This is alot creepier.
Ooo-err.

ZOMG im from leeds 0_0 and that face is creepy.

duuude... only someone like you would have a treasure cave of manequin heads...

That latest Jerry Jackson was your best one yet. Keep it up.

According to a Burnt Face Man episode, I'm guessing you like Cradle of Filth.

Yeah, I love those guys.

And I just had a weird thought... Cradle of Firth !!! LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

It's Way Past Your Bedtime is great, I've listened to it a lot in the last few days since I downloaded it.

I was thoroughly impressed. All of it was just so ethereal and imaginative. You've got a knack for originality; probably one of the reasons why I've loved your stuff since I started watching it back in '05. A few of the scenes reminded me of the mannequin/bicycle scene from the Saw horror films - which is in no way a bad thing. Then I looked at other parts and thought quite seriously that you could be something like the next Tim Burton. If that doesn't indicate the awesome amount of talent you have, then nothing else does.

Still, it was all very eerie and yes, as Wiiporter said below, it was incredibly surreal. It's currently three am, which is in my opinion the creepiest hour to be awake at, but it didn't scare me at all; mostly because I'm insensitive to such things by now. It actually really entertained me. I was sitting there going "Wow, this is completely amazing." and not really giving a damn about time, place or the fact that I have to 'wake up' in another three hours.

Brilliant, and I can't believe that you found most of this crap just in your backyard - although to be fair I do have a mannequin head hanging around in my bedroom somewhere, but none quite as, er, twisted, as those. I'd have to say that I have respect for a lot of flash artists on NG, but out of all of them, you are my favourite; regardless of whether it's posted under this account or the Jerry Jackson account. Everything is amazing, and this is just like the icing on the cake, I swear.

Never, ever stop posting on Newgrounds, and never give up making flashes or little projects like this video. The world would be a much more depressing place (or much less depressing, if you count the mind-fuck known as Salad Fingers, but come on, everyone loves Salad Fingers no matter how much it takes away their childhood) without your work.

<3 Much love for your creativity, always and forever, because you deserve all the praise in the world for it. (Hell knows we don't have enough unique-minded people like you. We need more, damn it!)

scary stuff dude

Wow... and I thought you were only good at hand-drawn stuff! This is awesome!
I've been watching your vids for a long time now, Mr. Firth, and I adore them! I have to say, when I first started watching your series "Salad Fingers", I wasn't a huge fan of the weird stuff. Creeped me out too much, you know? But then I got hooked onto your series! And this little gem, "Crooked (Orcus) Rot", is such a sick, twisted little treat! It kinda has a little bit of a Tim Burton feel to it, although much more gory. I hope you're not offended by that. Thank you, and keep up the good work!

I want more Salad Fingers

Nice though.

Ive watched a few salad fingers n stuff but jeez this'd be scary to watch at night.

I beg you. Please come and join THE BIG MORPHING ORGASM!
Go to my userpage... you know you wants to.... so much. ;3

Nice man. I do stop motions, too. This was a great example of which to strive to become.

I noticed this a small while ago, but decided to let the video soak in a little before making a comment.

I love stop-motion animation and think its very underrated. Some people used to laugh at the B movies, but I thought seeing King Kong and dinosaurs etc moving this way, had a kind of creepy overtone to it. I also think clay is underrated as well, there is a good clay horror animation called Chainsaw Maid on Youtube, which you should check out.

The mixture of surreal and I guess half normal objects made the overall piece much more spookier. A young Cronenberg in the making you are, the world is your oyster producing shit like this at such a young age.

I've seen a few other videos that combine different techniques in this way. I can't remember exactly, but I think it might have been a bonus extra on an Hellraiser DVD, the surreal horror and bizarre imagery was absolutely mind blowing, wish I could find it.

I would love to see you do something like this again, but using something like Greek mythology with monsters like Cerberus, Medusa etc and combining it with occultism and black magic, hynotism or bizarre imagery along those tramlines.

Keep up the excellent work man.
