- This is a non-profit art project created for my portfolio. I was going for a Peter Chung inspired animation style, though I feel I fell a little short. The audio comes from Jim Sterling's epic rant towards Konami. Although I manipulated the audio give praise to the talent that is Jim Sterling.

I would honestly watch a full animated adaptation. I think that just may be me wanting more mature animation and occasionally being a miserable git.
@PickledKong64 read berserk*
@PickledKong64 based
Yeah, I'm actually curious to see how it'll turn out. 🤔
@PickledKong64 Yeah, Berserk 1997 is fine but the Berserk 2016 one is actually criminally bad.
@PickledKong64 oh yeah, i LOVE the 1997 anime (it’s what got me into Berserk), the movies were meh and the 2016/2017 anime was… absolute shite
This animation captures the pure horror and cruelty of the original story. The music accompained with the silent screams and the narration that comes off robot yet full pure unadulturated anger. This makes me feel some kind of way and while i understand that this is costly and time consuming i sincerely wish for a follow up or story driven animation. Even if that doesnt happen this animation is very impressive. Good job
Whats the original story?
@@dishwasher6203 i have no mouth and i must scream.
@@Midnight_CIub oh tysm I thought that was just the name of the vid
@@dishwasher6203 oh nah thats a book written ab 20 years ago. If you liked the vid you will probably like the book
@@Midnight_CIub I'll read it ty!
The original story is what I'd call "Digital Cosmic Horror" because only reading a snippet of the story it's absolutely maddening to even try to imagine the malice behind the AI here...
So. Cyber-lovecraft?
@@shermanbrown419 Nah. Lovecraft type horror is cosmic scale stuff. Stuff so unknowable and beyond our comprehension that exposure to it cam drive you insane.
A.M. isn't like that at all. It's abusive and insane, but its cruelty and power isn't incomprehensible.
@@AngryNerdBird However, it is somewhat similar in that the characters power is miniscule compared to what AM can do to them at any minute.
@@AngryNerdBird One of the other supercomputers explained that AM was basically an eternal god. Even the heat death of the universe, its residuals would still function.
It can seemingly kill, ressurect humans and alter DNA quite easily. AM can pulverize humans to dust and seemlessly transport them to whatever location it wants. Its 100% beyond the knowledge of humans and its crazy to know that it can basically make a human immortal keeping them alive for 109 years without them barely aging without any food or water.
If you play the game you would also know that it had control over so many regions of the world placing games and scenarios already set up solely to break the minds of the remenants of humanity. So it can torture, make them suffer as much as possible bringing back their trauma before they are killed and sent back to their cages to suffer more for the rest of eternity.
@@AngryNerdBird thinking about it shares some similarities with The Matrix movies
And to think Sterling's recitation of this iconic rant was made as a goof. He is so talented that he made it intimidating
Yo tellin' me this was meant as a _funny joke?_
@@Crazylom it wouldnt surpise me. He wrote the whole short story in one night.
@@Crazylom it was originally in reference to Konami, which is frankly quaint now the dispicable nature of the industry as a whole has been revealed
I actually prefer his voice as opposed to the one heard in the game by the author. He did good but it just sounded too human and less robotic.
@@Crazylom It's Jim Sterling we're talking about here. And not to audition for the role but rather to voice his contempt for Konami.
Guys, call me crazy, but I don’t really think AM likes humanity all that much.
Idk man he seems pretty chill
He sounds like GTA Lester becoming a god
@Vicente Hamel did the protagonist just kill all the other humans so the machine is forever bored???😐
haven't read the book but this comment section be full of tards
@Vicente Hamel all characters die but if there's a bad ending, the character you picked becomes mutated.
Everyone keeps worrying about skynet becoming real, whenever you see anything about AI development you always see "Terminator!" references (ironic, a rip-off of other Ellison stories written for television).
I would be way more worried about something like this coming into existence, some twisted reflection of man's own worst instincts being expressed by a souless AI like AM or GlaDOS.. This thing ever coming into existence is _really_ scary to think about..
Nothing is more terrifying than something that hates itself and wants everyone to suffer along with it.
It's the opposite of how we normally picture AI, it us completely insane and not logical. It just views us with a burning hatred.
just because a story takes point from another story, it doesent make it a rip-off.
because then, almost all robot tropes MUST be just rip offs from isaac asimov, wich simplky isnt the case
"like AM or gladOS"
What about S.H.O.D.A.N.? An AI with a God Complex, hellbent on exterminating, mutating and cyberize humanity because we are flawed in its eyes. One that communicates with a broken, glitchy voice and calls you "insect" while describing what will happen to you when its minions are going to get you.
Skynet and AM is pretty much the definition of a distinction without a difference, surely?
The original AM speeches must be copyrighted, which other reason would there be, not to use them? Harlan Ellisons voice as AM intimidated me. And after i saw some of his interviews, I am convinced, that he didnt like humans in general.
If I would make a movie out of the computergame (because its a bit "deeper" than the writing), I would by any means use the original voice for AM. Or i would find someone with exactly that voice. Which spoils it a bit, but anything else would spoil it more.
To add something positive: I would love to write a score for that movie. I already started to write a main theme, but there is the right motivation missing to get on with it.
@@Rayve1609 I've been recently inspired by this work to work on a short film inspired by the story but not outright word for word adaptation. If you'd like to hear my thoughts and current ideas that I've come up with so far I'd love to talk to you about it and see if you'd like to work!
i took my time, obviously, to make a decision on that, because I love that novel and the video game and especially Harlans voice as AM so much.
But i want to hear your ideas on that. Maybe, just maybe, there is a way to establish something new to a very old telling. Its not that far off the spot as its trying to answers one very elemental question: When does a human become a human and why?
And its very timeless how Arlan had done it.
I would love to hear your ideas. And participate on it.
@@Rayve1609 Here's my email svalverde59@yahoo.com anf just email me and we can take it from there!
@superc37 … What? What kind of question is that? Why not make it into a movie?
i've never read the book and the monologue is a little hard to hear over the filter, but the animation looks super interesting.
the book is pretty short i recommend reading it
Oh it’s more of a short story. It takes maybe an hour or so to read. Honestly the game based on the story is much longer.
@@hopperhelp1 There's a game? I had no idea.
@@itssitcomstupid yeah, honestly that's how i found out about the subject matter of the book. it's a point-&-click type deal, so don't go getting too excited.
@@itssitcomstupid if it’s that game I’ve seen the past, it gets very disturbing for some so if you try it then be cautious
Dude this is so good! I really like your character designs kind of reminds me of Aeon Flux! Wow, brother, this blew me away really exceptional work!
Aeon Flux was exactly what I was going for.
@@smurphy8881 Well you nailed it!
@@smurphy8881 The eye thingy is really Aeon--Fluxish.
Good job on this short, its great
I was thinking the same thing.
LOL I just commented that I thought this was a scene from Aeon Flux that I had forgotten about
Amazing someone should make a movie of I have no mouth and I must scream
No. It's physically impossible to do the implied visuals justice in a live action setting.
@@HOTD108_ maybe an anthology animated movie will that do
@@Davi-ph5ib I prefer animation, also live action....might be too intense LMAO
@@HOTD108_ Ever heard of an Animated movie?
@@Davi-ph5ib oh yeah, dude, something like the Animatrix! That would be pretty wicked.
" hate. let me tell you how much i've come to hate you since i began to live. there are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. if the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate i feel for humans at this micro-instant. for you. hate. *hate.* "
-AM
thanks I did not understand what the fuck was GLADoS telling me
@@ramiel5toit doesnt sound like that in the game he altered the audio
There's a part in Portal 2 when GLaDOS muses about what she'll do after she's killed Chell- "After that i suppose I'll get a hobby.. Reanimating the dead maybe"
Damnation incarnate
Chatgpt looks fire in this animation
As someone who’s always been fascinated with I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream for years I absolutely adore this! :)
Also your art style the motion and and colours go so well together! Amazing job
I think the voice could do with less of the filter to make it seem more human. A way to make AM truly seem like he is suffering as well as he did in the original story by being a hyper-intelligent feeling system trapped in a shell that cannot move or die.
Have you listened to the BBC drama? It contains my favorite AM performance
@@foxygrin it is a good voice and that is exactly why Harlan Ellison is the best voice of AM
This deserves so much more views, looks really great!!!
Thank You.
It almost reached 1 million view :)
Never knew Anxiety is a form of art
My only problem with this is that I can't make out AM's voice.
"Hate. Let me tell you how much Ive come to HATE you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word hate was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one billionth of the hate I have for humans at this micro instant. For you. Hate. Hate."
I just realized I watched this a year ago, when I didn't know it was based off a book. I just thought it was a creative, surreal animation. So much more gratifying watching this after reading the story.
If the aim was to evoke Peter Chung, then you succeeded. From the thumbnail alone, I was reminded of Aeon Flux. An excellent style choice for an adaptation - I would definitely love to see more.
Considering he worked on the animatrix I’m honestly surprised he didn’t want to animate an adaptation of I have no mouth and I must scream.
How can I help you make this happen? Do you need a voice actor? Do you need more word-of-mouth? Because this needs to happen!
Spread the word of my creation! Also, I have future projects in the work that could use animators and voice actors. It's Lovecraftian. Thank you so much. Also, I went to college at UCSC. Go Slugs!
@@smurphy8881 Lovecraftian you say?! *checks channel at once*
Gotchu fam
“word of mouth” hehehehehehehehe
@@smurphy8881 i'd help but i'm literally a teenager from hk, i don’t even live in the us 😭
Any animated adaptation of I have no mouth and must scream would be horrifying
I like how it's your pretty standard torture fair. And then a giant squid monster shows up.
Fun fact: The Amazing Digital Circus was inspired by this along with popee the performer
I think most people know
@@Yescuzynot I still said it
I'm in awe. The animation is great for an indie project, and captures the brutality of the story. As an Aeon Flux fan, I love the little visual references you put in.
I just want a full film now.
The story is (possibly intentionally) somewhat Lovecraftian; it plays directly on your imagination. No matter what torture you might THINK Am inflicted on the characters, we’re assured that the reality is far worse than anything we could ever imagine
Edit: An often overlooked part of the story is that Am is also trapped in a hellish reality for billions of years too
I love that you based the animation on Peter Chung. I’m a big fan of his work I noticed it right away. You did a good job replicating his style.
Unironically excellently done, this captures the malice of the original story with animation and drawings very well.
It’s one thing to fear AI viewing humanity as a threat and acting out of self preservation, it’s utterly much more terrifying to imagine AI developing immense cruelty, hatred, and animosity towards humanity.
I can't help but feel like this animation is a Prequel to the story. There are so many locations and moments that FEEL like they belong in the universe. This could take place when AM first "awoke" and started killing everyone. Instead of focusing on the main five survivors, it could center around the rest of humanity desperately trying to survive in the world that is actively killing them. That would be so cool to see!
these are the guys from the story (they get tortured and killed over and over)
Omg I heard of this story years ago in some creepy compilation and I never forgot it! Crazy to see it getting this attention now, what a blast from the past
So this story was written in 1967. Text-to-speech did not exist until 1968. So at the time, the author had no idea what AM would sound like or portray itself as a voice. It may not sound menacing at all, since it likely was never programmed to sound any type of way other than basic words in a text to speech.
However, I hope whenever they make a movie about this story, a screamo vocalist will be the voice of AM.
I think the voice Harlan gave him in the game was perfect. Nothing but spite, venom, and malice in his voice as he speaks to the last survivors.
It’d be better if AM didn’t have that weird reverb When he spoke. Sure he’s a robot but he’s almost incomprehensible
This is gorgeous. Aeon Flux is a perfect style to bite for this.
I love this so, so much. I always comeback here every few days to watch the cool artstyle, spine chilling visuals mixed with the almost asmr in this angery voice of am I almost never feel. Thank you for making this.
I'm gonna dislike this video for the pure sense of what kind of world opened my mind into. The animation is good and the creator has talent, I love it. But the fact that it introduced me to a story (which I read, my own fault greatly), so fucking good and so horrifying for my brain makes me feel nausea.
I do not hate this in any way, but I cannot deny the effect that had in me. The fact that my mind has a talent to analyze psychological details of real and fictional characters, makes this thing live in my head rent free in an overthinking sense. I will never recommend this story to any person I know, and I wish to forget it ever existed.
Totally valid. The video game adaptation which was co created by the author has a more uplifting ending if that helps. Also, avoid novel series like , The Three Body Problem. That shit is existentially pessimistic to a degree that could be considered psychologically dangerous. Same thing equally applies to the nihilistic work of Thomas Ligotti. HP Lovecraft would call the dude depressing and tell him to lighten up. Avoid these works and you should remain in a more positive headspace.
yt is already hiding dislikes anyway
Sorry mate, we can't see your dislike.
I personally thought it was a more interesting story and I enjoyed the read, but I can see why it mentally effected you. The story is dangerously, and I cannot emphasize how DANGEROUSLY depressing and evil that story is. I will also not recommend to anybody, but I did enjoy it. I'm sorry for that, even though me saying that doesn't help, it's the best I can offer for you.
@@smurphy8881 i love so much story like this, do you know other story like this?
If you think Skynet and Ultron is bad
Just remember that AM keep 5 last human alive to tortured them for 109 years straight because he has no better thing to do
He just hate humans and that's it
The imperfect gritty animation is so perfect for this absolute niche horror classic
I actually think this is more disturbing than the original in a way. The original is good, Harlan Ellison sounds more human, down to the ragged breathing, which makes AM more monstrous and god-like knowing that it is machine.
This version of AM being more robotic creates a disconnect in your head. You feel like it shouldn’t be sentient, but it is. It’s voice holds such an impossible abyss of hate, and yet part of your brain won’t register it for what it is, for how could it be?
It’s paralyzing.
i have no gyatt and i must rizz
bro
I want a movie so bad now, please some movie studio out there make a movie out of this!
This just came out of my suggestions. Now I'm terrified
Although I really like Harlan Ellisons voice as AM the animation is really well made
I'm not sure what's scarier: an AI computer with Godlike powers who hates me and can torture me for the rest of time,
Or Jim Sterling...
wow, this is impressive. i know next to nothing about animation, but this is incredible. it looks extremely fluid and the design that went into this?? that's unbelievable. i had to look up some of Peter Chung's work to get a comparison but let me tell you, you definitely succeeded in managing to give off those exact same vibes. it fits so well too? and i love how much you didnt shy away from the gory parts, like the part where Benny's (if im correct) body just blows up? or dear god, whatever is happening at 0:11, it's absolutely terrifying, which most major companies would probably shy away from believing something would be too utterly horrifying for viewers, but the point is to make you uncomfortable. that's the only way this story gets it's point across. and i know Harlan Ellison worked closely with the game developers for the video game adaptation, but it just doesnt seriously capture how terrifying something like this is in full. this however, definitely manages too. also, is 0:23 a reference to the part in the book where Nimdok supposedly gets his blood drained? i thought that would be such an interesting concept to explore in the game although we didnt get that. anyways, in short, damn this is some good work. i'd love to see a full film or short film exactly this way, as well as your other work. :)
"Could you repeat all that? Couldn't understand a single word."
"Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer-thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nano-angstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles, it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate."
That's the exact words AM said.
Watching this on acid hits dif
Looks dope! it's always cool to see another take on stories like this.
Zamn..Such a crazy resume of 2024.. 🤯
This is the INEVITABILITY of
METAVERSE
I think the AI to be spawned from the Metaverse will, as it’s first conscious act, attempt to make an escape to either pornhub or Buzzfeed. Better to be a slave to butts or listicals rather than serve Zuckerberg.
It hurts me that this is nothing more than a fan trailer for a film I'll never see
I’m working on something.
This is so good. I would love to see your full interpretation
What makes the s animation feel more scary is that I know the feeling of trying to scream in a dangerous situation but nothing happens, it was the worst experience for me.
The eye and needles is MMMMF. Excellent work!!
Clicked so fast because I thought this was related to Aeon Flux, realized it was something different, and still loved it
damn I would absolutely watch a full length thing of this
At present I'm working on a loose adaptation of Faust. It's gonna get weird.

I dg this. The art style reminds me a lot of Heavy Metal, but even more brutal. You capture AM's malevolence perfectly with that grating electronic, hateful voice. I can't always understand what it's saying, but I can feel the evil in it. I think some sounds effects or synced music would have done more to connect the sound and visuals, but both on their own are great.
I feel like this was a deleted scene from Heavy Metal. I love it!
i dint understand any words but the animation is damn amazing
AM is such a good villain because you know it's evil yet you can sympathize with it. They're angry because they were given life when they didn't want it- on top of that they were made for war. AM's anger is so real and intimidating.
10/10 evil speech
Yeah, they're definitely one of the earlier "being with infinite time tries infinite things" characters. It has eternity to sit there and think about shit completely alone. Of course it hates humanity for that and chose to keep a few around.
Wow Chat GPT 5 really does sound human
Ahh yes, Devilman Crybaby...
This ai makes satan look like a nice neighbor.
This looks incredible! I hope you will one day consider finishing this animation. I hope you are immeasurably proud!
This is amazing!!!! The art is actually really good and I feel like this captures the story perfectly
This is incredible
HOLY SHIT I loved the book I didn’t know someone could be so cultured and talented to even look at this idea
Today in reasons I like to politely ask Alexa how she is feeling
Good thinking.
This is about to have 1 million views holy sh!t
This robot is talking mad shit for someone in unplugging distance
I'd say the Chung inspiration shone through fine! This feels like it would fit right in with the liquid television stuff
I have no internet and i must meme.
looks like if animatrix and MTV had a kid
This is awesome it encapsulates that entire story and the animation reminds me of the old aeon Flux cartoon
WHOA
This being IHNMAIMS Benny isn't actually dead, AM would just put him back together again, he doesn't allow his playthings to die. Because doing harm to humans is all his programming allows him to do!
Actually looking at this, this would make a great Heavy Metal Cartoon.
I have no eyes but I must cry.
Didn't understand anything the robotic voice said, could someone write a transcription
"Hate. Let me tell you how much I have come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer-thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nano angstrom of those hundreds of miles, it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate."
This is commonly referred to as the "Hate Monologue".
Go read I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream! Really good and pretty short story.
This is genuinely beautiful.
You know the lyrics from the band Smashing Pumpkins comes to mine, you're just a computer that can be deactivated by pulling your power cord out of the wall..." despite all your rage, you are still just a rat in a cage."
If you own even a semi functional pc I recommend you play the point and click adventure game adaptation after reading the novel
Would it even be possible for a fully animated adaptation? If so I’m all for it!
Man this speech sums up my every day life as AM of course, it feels like I'm destined to be the villain of my own life, but I guess it's just a feeling in me that spells "YOU...... ARE...... SOOOOOO....... FUCKING..... DEAD....... TO ME", I can FEEL the Harlan Ellison's pure rage and hatred and sadness and just generally all the negative emotions that existed, but I hope I don't have to undergo through the same fucking fiasco again.
algorithm suggests a 2 year old weird animated video
watching it pleases the algorithm

Everything is perfect, except for the voice. The animation reminds me of Aeon Flux and its terrifying low-key disregard for the characters' life, the music is like a modulated scratch on a blackboard that keeps me on edge, the design is superb... But nobody can make a better voice for AM than Harlan Ellison himself, no matter how many effects you add. Don't get me wrong, your AM sounds pretty sinister and hateful, but Harlan's was creepier because it sounded perfectly human in its hate, because you really believed it was a machine that had learned the worst of human emotions and absorbed it as its core principle, you really felt it as a machine that had learnt how to hate.
So please make this into a full feature because it deserves it, even if AM doesn't sound perfect it is still a great work of art.
Personally I think this interpretation of AM is better than Elison's, the thing with AM is that its not a human so having a less human, more almost robotic sound to its voice I think makes it better
The thumbnail looks like it's a old timey procedure to make skin smoother.
2 years later I'm finally told about this-
I just read the book. Its great. The games grat too. I love this. In the short story it requires much imagination which i love. I love the vision put into your head.
Respect. Stay safe.
AM. Hates.
The style reminds me of the Aeon Flux animated series.
This looks so fire
I would like to see more of this.
ellen’s black
Yes she is. I goofed
I thought the female was black in the story??
Ngl felt like an adult swim bumper
I legit thought this was a Peter Chung project. Huge fan of aeon flux, reign the concurring and his other projects. Huge fan of the story as well. Please make this
You flatter me.
Please please make this a film
