Now Let’s Make Our Escape……

Awhile Back We had a Short Horror Film Friday that featured a Six Episode Horror Series called Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared. It was brought to Our attention recently that Someone had Located the Pilot Episode of DHMIS, and We were a little more than Psyched to Learn of This Development.

Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared is a Surreal British Cult Comedy Horror Web Series. The Web Series was Created by British Filmmakers, Graphic Designers, Artists, and Animators Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling. DHMIS Consists of 6 Episodes, Released from July 29, 2011 to June 19, 2016 through The Artists’ Website, YouTube, and Vimo. Every Episode of DHMIS Utilizes Live Actors in Costume, Anthropomorphic Puppets, Traditional Animation, Stop Motion, and Computer Animation to Tell Each Story in the Series.

Each Episode Revolves around Yellow Guy (and His Father Roy Gibbleston), Red Guy and Duck Guy meeting One or Several Anthropomorphic Characters, Who begin a Musical Number related to a Basic Concept of Day-To-Day Life complete with an Upbeat Melody similar to that of a Nursery Rhyme. As Each Song progresses, it becomes Apparent that its Moral/Message is Nonsensical or Self-Contradicting, and that the “Teacher” Character has an Sinister Ulterior Motives. The Climax of each Episode Typically Involves GRAPHIC VIOLENCE, BLOOD SHED, GORE, OR PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR!!! Later int he Series, the CHaracters begin to Questioning the NAture of Their Reality and the Bizarre Messages of the Teachers.

“Friendly Shadow”| Dystopian Animated Short Film

We are Thrilled to bring You “Friendly Shadow”the Second of Three NEW EPISODES in the Apocalyptic Dystopian Animated Short Film Series By Scottish Writer, Director, Sculpture, Painter, Artist, and Animator David James Armsby. The Short Film Series (which Ended in 2018 and was Revived in 2020) takes place in the Sci Fi Post Apocalyptic Town Known as Autodale where the Citizens are Anything but Normal.

The Creator in His Own Words:

“Hello, Citizens of Autodale!” “This Public Service Announcement is following ludicrous concerns and whispers we’ve been hearing as of late. Silly claims of monsters and other loathsome things living within our city walls!” “There are no monsters here, citizens. Not in Autodale!” This film follows a detective that Autodale’s public knows as the “Friendly Shadow”. Autodale makes an effort to keep the monstrous creatures that lurk outside their walls from entering the city but somehow, incursions and attacks are becoming more and more frequent as of late. It appears that one particular monster-breach got very violent very fast and the Friendly Shadow is sent to investigate.

This film was a colossal amount of work, as you can imagine. It’s the longest animated film I’ve ever made. I’ve been working on this project for just over 10 months now and the number of sheer man-hours I’ve put into this one film is something I don’t want to think about. I’m extremely proud of this film, though. It’s very near and dear to my heart. I think it’s a decent film, with a decent story and I’m very chuffed I managed to pull it off. It’s one of the most ambitious projects I’ve ever attempted and I think it turned out pretty awesome. I REALLY hope you guys like it too! ^_^”

“Model Citizen”| Dystopian Animated Short Film

We are Thrilled to bring You “Model Citizen”the First NEW EPISODE in the Apocalyptic Dystopian Animated Short Film Series By Scottish Writer, Director, Sculpture, Painter, Artist, and Animator David James Armsby. The Short Film Series takes place in the Sci Fi Post Apocalyptic Town Known as Autodale where the Citizens are Anything but Normal.

From The Creator In Their Own Words:

“What is a Model Citizen? A Model Citizen is a providing father. A Model Citizen is a caring mother, all in service of a scrappy, young boy or girl. A Model Child raised by a Model Family, to become a Model Citizen of their own!” This brand-spanking-new installment of the Autodale series follows the lives of the Robinson family; Autodale’s perfect citizens. I’ve wanted to make an animated short film based around the life-cycle of an Autodale citizen/family for a very long time. We’ve only ever seen Autodale through the eyes of children. All of the other short films in the series focus on skeptical children being successfully brainwashed/indoctrinated into complacency with Autodale’s dystopian ways. This short film doesn’t have that arc. This short film is about the parents. These characters have NO DOUBTS about how this system works anymore…” -David James Armsby-

“Autodale is BACK!”| Announcement Video

We couldn’t be More Psyched that After Two Very Long Years one of Our Favorite Animator’s David James Armsby has Revived His Apocalyptic Dystopian Animated Short Film Series that takes place in the Sci Fi Post Apocalyptic Town of Autodale where the Citizens are Anything but Normal.

In The Creator’s Own Words:

“Hello, citizens of Autodale! It has been a long time…”

“This video is an announcement of what I’ve been working on for the past few months. I have three new Autodale-themed animated short films in the works. The first being an idea I’ve wanted to explore for a while; a look into the lives of the average Autodale citizen. The life-cycle of someone who’s essentially just another cog in the machine. This short is almost completely finished. The second, a detective-noir short film. Autodale’s infamous vigilante, “The Friendly Shadow” investigates a particularly gruesome incident after a monster manages to breach Autodale’s walls. The third will be a continuation of “Don’t Feed the Freaks”. This short film is the one I’m most excited about but it’s also the most subject to change. It’s the only one that I don’t have a finished script for yet and haven’t started animating. At the moment it follows the same character, traveling farther than he ever has before, likely focussing more on the Monarchs than the Freaks this time around.” -David James Armsby-

See You Soon,
