6My Love letter To The Old Videos Of The Internet
The tune is Numa Numa.
"Numa Numa" (/ˈnuːmə/) is an Internet meme based on a video by American vlogger Gary Brolsma made after the song "Dragostea Din Tei" as performed by O-Zone. Brolsma's video, entitled "Numa Numa Dance", was released on December 6, 2004, on the website Newgrounds.com under the username "Gman250" and shows Brolsma lip-synching the hit song with lively gesticulations and dance moves, which later got taken down by the Newgrounds team in late 2016. The video title is derived from the Romanian words "nu mă nu mă" that occur in the refrain of O-Zone's song. It was the first Numa Numa-themed video to gain widespread attention. Less than three months after the release, it had been viewed more than two million times on the debut website alone.
"Numa Numa Dance" has since spawned many parody videos, including those created for the "New Numa Contest", sponsored by Brolsma, which promised US $45,000 in prize money for submissions.[1] His original video was named 41st in the 2006 broadcast of 100 Greatest Funny Moments by Channel 4 in the UK.[2] The video was featured on Channel 4's Virtually Famous,[3] and was ranked #1 in VH1's "40 Greatest Internet Superstars" in March
Don Hertzfeldt: I am a bananna.
oon after graduating from film school, Hertzfeldt purchased his own 35mm rostrum camera and made his next animated short, Rejected.
Released in theaters in 2000, the short won 27 awards and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film the following year. It is now considered a cult classic and one of the most influential animated films ever made, especially after it found its way onto the internet in the early 2000s and became a viral sensation.[41][42] In 2009, it was the only short film named as one of the "Films of the Decade" by Salon.[43] In 2010, it was noted as one of the five "most innovative animated films of the past ten years" by The Huffington Post.[44] Indiewire film critic Eric Kohn named Rejected one of the "10 best films of the 21st century" on his list for the BBC Culture poll in 2016.[41]
The film presents itself as a reel of rejected commercial work by a fictional version of Don Hertzfeldt. The commissioned animated vignettes grow more and more abstract and inappropriate as the animator suffers a mental breakdown, until they literally fall apart.
Although the film is fictional and Hertzfeldt has never done advertising work, he received many offers to do television commercials after Billy's Balloon drew international attention. In appearances Hertzfeldt has told the humorous story of how he was tempted to produce the worst possible cartoons he could come up with for the companies, run off with their money, and see if they would actually make it to air. Eventually this became the germ for Rejected's theme of a collection of cartoons so bad they were rejected by advertising agencies, leading to their creator's breakdown and ultimately the cartoons' metaphysical crisis.
