A Depressed Whale

Posted by Jason Steele | Friday 12 March 2010 7:53 pm

I’m working on a zillion projects at once right now (including Charlie 4, which I have just started,) but it’s been way too long without a FilmCow release so here’s a short little cartoon to hold you over.

“A Depressed Whale”

QuickTime:

YouTube:

I’m going to try to start having a more consistent release schedule from now on, even when I’m busy with larger projects.  Cartoons like this one only take me a couple of days to complete so I should be able to at least have something for you guys on a regular basis.

    This is probably the funniest one you have ever made Jason *Applause*

    Wow. I think this is your best video ever… I love excessive plot twists…

    YAAAAAAY! I check this site every day for more Filmcow goodness. It gets me through college.

    So uh… going on 5 years now… Spatula Madness feature? I’m waiting to shell out some money for that. Seems you’ve made 90+ minutes of animated delight what with all the other projects you’ve released to merit having something to show for the big project that’s kept a ton of fans waiting.

    lolthe whale has 3 hands… or should i say… FLIPPERS! *dramatic music plays*

    You need to stop making Charlie The Unicorn. More Cloaks would be much better. But I still look forward to Charlie 4.

    Also, A Depressed Whale was great.

    Also, after 4 years of making Spatula madness, you MUST have some footage for a trailer or something.

    Snazztastic! What could possibly go wrong with a name like that?

    Carter S. I have watched this video 5 times already. I still love it. But it is getting less funier now

    I see some fascist symbology in here…

  13. Comment by Jason Williams — March 15, 2010 @ 1:36 am

    That’s great. I can get more drug-induced Filmcow goodness on a regular basis :D

    Will Charlie 4 have more ‘Communist symbolism’ lol. Maybe you could add symbolism just to get more of those comments.

    I also hope Spatula Madness is going well. I don’t care for any clips of it, just in case it spoils the feature length movie.

    Sorry your soo stressed maybe take a long vacation? You deserve you work soo hard :3 Love the work keep It up

  15. Comment by Danielle — March 15, 2010 @ 8:46 pm

    Can you please make a Ferrets 2 or a Detective Mittens 2? You don’t have to but that would be awesome! My friends and I are so excited for Charlie the Unicorn 4! We love all of the Charlie the Unicorn and Llamas with Hats videos. Good luck with Spatula Madness!

  16. Comment by Mars — March 16, 2010 @ 3:48 pm

    I understand your release troubles. I work with 15 people on a film, it still takes a month for non-after effects shorts.

    But really, Charlie 4?
    I thought the meds were helping.

  17. Comment by Snurgle — March 18, 2010 @ 7:10 am

    Your stuff is great, but there should be downloads available for normal Mp3 players as well as for i-pods/i-phones, I would so totaly watch those all the time

    P.S. Keep up the great work, Charlie 4,I can’t wait

  18. Comment by Lilly — March 18, 2010 @ 7:26 pm

    I love Charlie the Unicorn, Llamas with Hats, Spatula Maddness, basicly all of your videos. Keep up the good work Jason!

  19. Comment by Eric — March 18, 2010 @ 9:06 pm

    i’m still waiting on Bino the Elephant, man.

  20. Comment by Kyle G. — March 18, 2010 @ 11:32 pm

    What are your future plans [if any] for another Cloak or Cloak-like video? Can’t wait for more!

  21. Comment by Snurgle — March 19, 2010 @ 10:42 am

    Yeah, there should be more cloak videos,that one is my favorite! Also were are the videos such as bino the elephant and those other ones?

  22. Comment by PieMonster — March 20, 2010 @ 3:59 pm

    Snurgle, there are downloads on itunes.

  23. Comment by Snurgle — March 21, 2010 @ 6:58 pm

    Sorry Mr. or Mrs. PieMonster but I cannot acess i-tunes, i just need normal mp3 format videos.

  24. Comment by PieMonster — March 22, 2010 @ 3:46 pm

    Snurgle, Then go to youtube and copy the url, then go to savevid.com. There you paste the url an download the file in flv or mp4.

  25. Comment by Snurgle — March 22, 2010 @ 4:16 pm

    I just got home from shcool and i would like to say that i am thinking that filmcow should have a running schedual posted somewhere with longterm goals and aproximate dates of releases so that the blog could be devoted to shortnotice announcements and updates.

  26. Comment by Snurgle — March 23, 2010 @ 10:13 am

    when will chalie 4 be out, could the next blog tell us predicted dates, or do the posts only come out with a movie update,caus4e i’m not gonna bother looking at older posts.

    I agree with most people I would LOVE another detective mittens. Another ferrets would be good too. also a depressed whale was funny:)

  29. Comment by doijj — March 24, 2010 @ 2:16 am

    I personally think he should work and get spatula madness done and over with, it’s got a lot of hype, and it would make a lot of people happy to get it. It has been forever, I think Charlie can wait.

  30. Comment by Snurgle — March 24, 2010 @ 11:07 am

    I beg to differ, though it filled me with joy (my sweet walrus) :) spatula madness was my least favorite animation. Charlie cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  31. Comment by doijj — March 24, 2010 @ 4:58 pm

    @ Snurgle you don’t have any taste. Charlie is funny and stuff, but i think Spatula Madness should definitely have priority over Charlie. I just think that jason shouldn’t be such a perfectionist. Though that is what makes him great, and why I have great expectations of the film.

  32. Comment by Eric — March 25, 2010 @ 10:02 am

    i’m going to agree with doijj on this one.

    i’d rather if Jason focused completely on Spatula Madness. as much as i love his shorts, we’ve been waiting, what, 4 years now for Spatula Madness? i hope he is still working (even just occasionally) on getting it finished.

    like i said, i have no problem with seeing no more shorts for a while if that means we’d get Spatula Madness sooner. and i’m sure others would agree.

    Man, it must be so hard to answer all these fans. Anyway, that video at first made me go “whhhuutt?” and then laughing for 2 minutes straight. I’m sure this is just like another one of your fans but really, you are one of the most funny and creative people I’ve heard of. Do you think you might ever reveal the names and gender of the two unicorns? Perhaps when the series is retired of course. And I agree with the others on the fact that another Cloak would be so great, and I wouldn’t mind another Detective Mittens….as much as he scares me. Still, me and my friend always laugh at Charlie and his friends. (I use the term friends loosely)

    Thanks for working so hard on this, you really make people smile. :)

  34. Comment by Snurgle — March 26, 2010 @ 10:13 am

    I think that the name and gender of the other unicorns should remain hidden, but what are you going to do about his horn Jason?

  35. Comment by doijj — March 28, 2010 @ 8:09 pm

    What is this regular basis? on a bi-weekly basis, monthly?

  36. Comment by Snurgle — March 29, 2010 @ 8:03 pm

    Yeah, i’m still waiting. we were all excited about this, youve let us down,jason :(

  37. Comment by Kitty98 — March 30, 2010 @ 8:36 am

    Charlie the Unicorn is AWSOME!!!! All hail the Pink and Blue unicorns!!!!!!

  38. Comment by doijj — March 30, 2010 @ 1:26 pm

    haha Snurgle, don’t speak for the rest of us… please.

  39. Comment by Snurgle — March 30, 2010 @ 5:48 pm

    well sorry!!! If i liked to think before i did stuff i wouldn’t be saying this, would i?

  40. Comment by aether — April 1, 2010 @ 9:00 am

    so a regular basis means one vid every 2 months?
    cant wait for another llamas with hats
