World of Goo claymation video
Wow, I think everyone was a little floored when they saw this clay animated World of Goo video:
Photos of her constructing the set here. Contest page with more entries is here. Commenters are calling this the early winner, agree?

Wow, that’s a pretty morbid way to look at the sign painter. World of Goo definitely seems to have captured a lot of people’s imaginations.
April 9th, 2009 at 10:59 pm
as your official propaganda department i say “Yes sir! Great decision”.
April 9th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
Holy cow… that…. is amazing. o_O
April 10th, 2009 at 12:13 am
o_O amazing!
April 10th, 2009 at 12:33 am
That’s pretty amazing. I love it! :D
April 10th, 2009 at 1:53 am
WOW
WOW
WOW
That’s brilliant. Nice work with the sign painter, good idea.

Wow, i would love to see a full-length movie like this! :)
Really goo-d stuff…………
April 10th, 2009 at 3:36 am
I will never trust the Sign Painter ever again after watching this. :O
This is one of the best entries I have seen in this contest.What an awesome idea. :)

incredible! gj!

If she doesn’t walk out of here with a 52″ TV and plane tickets, a crime will have been committed.

Wow – whether it’s shot at 24fps or just doubled up in twos (2x of every frame at 12fps) the movement is really smooth and well done (it doesn’t have the ‘jitter’ problem that most non-professional claymation has). And on top of that, it’s a pretty awesome use of the concept too. I like :D
April 10th, 2009 at 6:58 am
Wow. That is pretty swell. Very nicely executed, and it fits well with the game, both visually and in story terms.
April 10th, 2009 at 8:57 am
I’d say someone has to do something pretty friggin spectacular to top this [absolutely amazing] effort. This is definitely the current champion.
April 10th, 2009 at 11:08 am
further proof World of Goo would make a perfect Tim Burton movie, also the sign painter wouldn’t be evil! i bet that was like one of the corporation’s signs
April 10th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Yeah. I liked this, but it was a bit dark.
It still makes sense; humans are actually more brutal in reality.
April 10th, 2009 at 1:03 pm
Oh, yeah.
Definite contest winner, or else.
April 10th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
I LOLed when I saw the sign made of goo, since you see it everywhere in the game.
April 10th, 2009 at 3:43 pm
Genius! And beautiful work, too! If the person who made this has any other World of Goo-related work or any other stuff I can see at all, I’d love to! (If you’re reading the comments, please, please show us your other work!)
I love the dark atmosphere. The only problem I had was a bit at the ending where the one goo extended its hand to the other. At first I didn’t know what the hands were or what was going on, or which goo was which, etc. But that was a very slight problem. You get seven trillion cookies as a reward! I’ll ask MOM to send them to you as soon as I can.

Also, I love the angry goo ball that passes him by at the beginning.
GRRR.
April 10th, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Marvelous – just marvelous!!
And yes, the angry goo at the start – super cool!
April 10th, 2009 at 11:09 pm
Amazing work! They must be professionals or something because the video has been expertly recorded and edited!
April 11th, 2009 at 6:08 am
Definitely the best so far! Completely captures the feel of World of Goo…the sign painter’s secret is definitely something behind the scenes that 2D Boy didn’t show us, I’m sure.
April 12th, 2009 at 4:49 am
That is just a fantastic video!
April 12th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
Well, 2D Boy, I think you guys found someone to do your advertisements for you.

Amazing ! :D
April 13th, 2009 at 8:49 am
I love it :-) Great images, great sound, great story! Well done!
April 13th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
It’s World of Goo meets Eraserhead.
Nice.
April 14th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Whoa, both The Painters Sign and I are denied! I guess there aren’t any bonus points for trying to think outside the box and tell a story. Dunno about everyone else, but I thought PortlyPig deserved the win. I think she was robbed.
April 14th, 2009 at 12:12 pm
We want leaderboard back
April 14th, 2009 at 3:00 pm
I couldn’t believe that Painter’s Sign didn’t win! I mean, I was a little sad that I didn’t win, but I was even more upset that Painter’s Sign didn’t even place! Portly Pig was robbed. She at least has the bragging rights to the most viewed video in that whole contest. With that kind of talent, something better will probably come along.
I hope Eiffel tower guy enjoys his tickets to E3… Personally, I thought there were more creative (not to mention more INTERESTING.) videos submitted than that one, but hey.

I need WOG on my iPhone!!!!!

COOOOOMMMMMMIIIITTTTTTTEEDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m a huge fan of this vid. The actual contest winner was uninspiring, at best. But this sent shivers down my spine. Good work! As Jordan says, something better will come along.
April 17th, 2009 at 3:38 am
I saw this a week ago and I was like ‘easily the best one’. It’s really well done.
April 18th, 2009 at 11:34 pm
OMG.Excellent work.
April 19th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
Portly Pig, you KNOW you deserved to win. I’m not saying that the others were bad, but I think yours definitely should have won.
Maybe they wouldn’t let you win because they wanted an actual product (like a guitar or a goo-made Eiffel Tower) rather than a film of a story…? Which is a really silly reason not to win. I loved the backgrounds of the scenes with the authentic cityscapes and purple sky and how well you got the dirty kind of industrial feeling.
But anyway, you definitely wowed 2D Boy, which counts as a lot. :) There must be some strange reason why you didn’t win…
I also think you made excellent use of the song. Most people just kind of added it as a second thought, but I think yours really works with that song. WE LOVE YOUR VIDEO!
April 20th, 2009 at 1:04 pm
I have to say, I’m awfully disappointed in GameTrailers. Amidst all of the worthless junk constantly being posted on that site, they ignore one of the few genuinely creative videos to pass through.
Portly Pig, your video is way better than that shoddy gaming site. Post it somewhere else, and please make more!

Holy crap, man, this is breathtaking! It’s like giving a purpose to all those Goo building those structures to a pipe in each world. Just to escape the Sign Painter. ;)

This is the BEST in the contest, no question! GT must’ve questioned because questioning is free. It’s just the best! But a question. What does the SP use during the informational Super Highway stage?
November 3rd, 2009 at 2:29 am
MOM would be proud, great story and amazing stop motion, Portly… you are an inspiration and do 2D boy justice…
