A dark, futuristic and slightly surreal sci-fi animated short film from Wolfram Gruss (better known as electronica artist PNFA) with drawings by Michael Noll. The animation blends After Effects with hand drawings to tell the story of a very special Janitor that controls day and night on behalf of God.

Our first animation...
We're very pleased to welcome our first animation (and non-Coffee film) to the channel, and a very dark, unique and unusual one at that, hope you all enjoy it and call back soon for more...

Excellent
Excellent Visualization of the alone feeling generated by being the only solid moving thing, and the echoing darkness around. great watch. The strange sounds you just keep hearing make it all the more compelling to make your mind swim in thought. Great idea for a story too. Excellent sounds. nothing too grainy or choppy.

wow
nice animation I like it. 5 star. I don't know if you know this but people make videos and try to submit it to metacafe to earn money and they just go to other peoples videos and give it a 1 because they want the highest rating on theirs. I think that's a load of bull there.

- Yeah
  I see a lot of that on here, the rating for this clip was below 3 for a while but seems to be heading back up now, thanks for dropping in!

- what I wish for
  is that someone on the administration team would put a drop box for people trying to put a 3star or below and ask for a reason. I see a lot of people come up to mine and say I'm voting this because I want mine to be the highest one on metacafe. but I wish people would vote on how good the video is, what the mistakes are, if the background is bad or good how good the background sound is. all that stuff is what your movie has and I like it. this is what all these video should be counted on too. even though I have videos that I made from my camera and out of my mind, I vote on peoples videos like a 3 or higher. I don't like going below unless it is very bad.

THANK YOU
This film of yours has encouraged myself to push to another level. This is your first animation !? I can't wait for the next one. I've subscribed to your channel...My rating for you is infinite !
I really enjoyed the subtleties , the little actions & reactions of the creatures of the night & the sound & music. The characters role as a janitor working for God . Cool.
