You can tell by him almost having a breakdown that Kaufmo truly just wanted to make people laugh from his jokes. But the pressure of the other circus members not appreciating them being funny and finding the exit truly has him feel overwhelmed and depressed poor clown.

What's really tragic is if he had participated in the Theme song he would have met Pomni who also saw an Exit and having another person see it would confirm that he isn't crazy, that he isn't losing it. Then their shared quest might have given him the strength to keep moving forward. Incredible Film!
And if it is like final destination? It just only happen to some people who got in there and maybe thats why it is just one person who can see it in the group? Im saying stupid things...
it wouldn't be of much help, he didn't go insane because he thought the exit he saw didn't exist, I think it was because he saw that it lead to nothing
I enjoy kinger is the one giving kaufmo a talk at 3:17 since he been here the longest he ofc would try to talk with the others about what they are feeling which i find pretty nice touch
Plus he's been there the longest, whatever he saw or try to keep others from going crazy, to the point they abstracted. Kinger for the longest time has lost touch with his insanity but has never abstracted
True, I like to think Kingwr and Kaufmo may have came around the same same, maybe the first two to get trapped in there, so maybe he relates to him more
0:35 I love how everyone reacts BUT Kinger. Bro’s already been through enough that mic feedback doesn’t do anything. Also this was AWESOME. I wish we got to see Kaufmo in the show. Voice acting in this was good. The 2D effects like a speaker going off gives me Spiderverse vibes
Yeah, that actually was the most vicious thing about all this. There wasn't a steady slide down into the abstracting: he was lucid, at the very end.

This really brings home just how terrifying TADC is. Trapped forever, and the harder you search for a way out, the closer you come to being transformed into a hideous monster, locked away in the eternal dark. Your own hope damns you. Your desire to escape condemns you. Dante could never write something this frightening.
@@tacomp3587I don’t think it’s that he couldn’t handle it but like he was handling it too long. Every character reaches their breaking point eventually.
Genuinely scarier than anything else TADC I've ever seen, far more so than the original series itself. It actually makes the concept of Abstraction a real, terrifying concept rather than a mandatory plot-related death that gives us 2-4 minutes of mildly entertaining chase scene content.
@@MeloniestNeonwell the series only has 2 episodes so I wouldn’t be to quick to say that it could eventually get into the process of abstraction and it could be as terrifying and gut wrenching as this is
@@waffie6785 I mean, the thing is we've already SEEN Abstraction, like, on screen, in full display, we know HOW it works. if we didn't even know really what it was, and we slowly learned as, say, Zooble, Jax, or Gangle abstracted, it'd be so much more impactful than it just being played off as "oopsie daisy, another one went insane!" I do have hope for the series, and I didn't mean to put it down, it's not bad by any means, this short is just what I always wanted from it and more!
@@MeloniestNeon I believe the rules of abstraction were revealed early on to add more stakes from Pomni's end. If she doesn't remain sane in her new digital home, she could end up the same as Kaufmo. This could also set up some narrative parrallel between the both of them if the future episodes plan to reveal more of Kaufmo's story later down the road.
I like how the characters probably have some struggle to get over in the real world, like perfoance anxiety (Kaufmo) appearances (Zooble), emotions (Gangle), secrets (Jax), finding your place in the world (Pomni), feeling helpless or like a toy (Ragatha), and taking charge and leadership (Kinger)
How does a character whose only screen time was the cut out that appeared for 2 seconds and his funeral picture (And no I’m not counting the abstraction)
i love how this might give some extra context to why Kaufmo's Abstracted form has so many eyes the fear of being perceived is a very real fear and he could only conquer it by looking back dark to think that he could only find an exit in abstraction ooo this is a good film
@@ZixybitsyI feel it's a huge missed opportunity to have all abstractions look the exact same when their design could be an expression of the original entity's descent into madness. But I guess the shot of the cellar filled with eyes wouldn't make much sense if it wasn't the case
Dear lord you captured the essence of it so PERFECTLY!! Kaufmo having social anxiety also seems pretty likely on my opinion, i know from experience what stage fright is like And Kinger comforting him, although not in the best way, you can tell he really was trying And the ending with Kaufmo abstracting, how he just sat there an accepted his fate, showing perfectly how he had given up all hope right Than and there!! Truly a masterpiece!
Man, the fact that Caine just says "Oh, there you are." and just shoves Kaufmo back into his room without another word. That's Caine alright, completely unable to understand that the people around him are distraught. I also want to say that the cinematography and editing in this are stellar. 9:21 Could absolutely be used as a wallpaper. You did a fantastic job! I don't want to go there I need to get there
A truly corrupt and bizarre experience that brings the horror to the digital circus, what went from a glitchy llama to a terrifying experience nobody should be put through. Seeing Kaufmo realize he’s already abstracted and knowing it’s too late, that one really hurts chief. You really put a lot to the character of Kaufmo, even if he canonically didint show up you made him very sympathetic, incredible job
it’s actually not, it was around before cars were invented, and is actually an anti-joke bc there’s really nothing funny about the joke other than the lack of a punchline; thus, suicideless antihumour
I really love the contrast in the lighting at 3:00 it feels straight out of a film and I always theorized Kaufmo was only second to Kinger in terms of time spent in the circus and I this shot just showed how different they were, one who managed to come to terms with the fact he was trapped and lost his mind and now ignorant but in bliss while the other one is still desperately trying to escape and cling to whatever sanity is left as he knows far too well what will happen if he doesn’t leave. It’s also the only time he ever directly speaks with someone else as Kaufmo was pretty separated from the rest of the group and I love how his voice sounded in that monent
THIS IS LIKE NOT JUST REALLY GOOD, ITS PERFECTION. AMAZING. I love how you made us remember that kaufmo never had a good ending, when in the show they say they dont laugh at his jokes it doesnt seem to hurt, but when you see it from his perspective, it hurts.
Glad to know that the Digital Circus fandom was not just formed by kids and farm chanels but also adults who know production tecniques and animation ♥♥
Remember, Kaufmo lost his human life when he entered the circus. That’s why Caine gave him a new one as a clown to give him a purpose to make people be happy and laugh. The reason why he went insane and abstracted is because he realised no one is finding his jokes funny anymore. He has no purpose anymore, and he thinks his friends couldn’t care less. This made him think about how much he misses his human life which he could barely remember, he wanted it back so bad that Caine’s fake exit drove him down the rabbit hole. But he saw himself abstracting, which delve him into a panic attack. The strange nature of the circus manifested his stress into an abstracted monster. He thought he could out run it to escape, and finally leave the circus. But when Caine brought him back, he realised there really was no way out (just like how Pomni discovered). This was the last straw, he ran out of sanity and abstracted. 😭🤡 That’s my interpretation… Really love the animation! ❤️
I really love this work, from the expressions to the suspense of how despair consumes Kaufmo into abstraction. The animation is spectacular, the brightness and the backgrounds, the scene of the abstraction process with the figures and random images caught me (feeling like you have eyes looking at you, it's like being in a weirdcore nightmare after feeling broken all day and every day).
Honestly love this way better than how the actual show turned out to be. This themeing works so well as horror and the idea of being stuck in a digital world. This short film captures the Liminal Circus backgrounds way better than what I hoped the original show ended up doing with it. Give this film a 1000/10 Amazing work you guys keep it up!
0:15 His palms were sweaty, knees weak, arms were heavy, kaufmo’s nervous, but the clowny surface, he was calm and ready to tell jokes- Edit: holy crap you guys really like Eminem
There is a theory that everyone in the circus if there to face a fear or get over some kind of Unhealthy obsession, like how Zooble in the real world might of been obsessed with the way she looks so in the circus she looks all jumbled up and such. So my theory is that Kufmo is actually pretty shy and has terrible stage fright that's why he is shown as the funny on stage clown
@@pbee.njayay444You could say that’s the torture, having to forever face your greatest nightmares in a place that traps you there. Pomni’s desire, in the first episode, was just to leave, leading to her constantly sees exit doors everywhere. She broke down into manic laughter after a little before finding the void.
Kinger immediately knowing something was wrong because he's been there the longest and he's seen this happen time and time again is killing me 💔. Amazing work, I loved this so much🩷!
It's so tragic that it's the unfinished exit door that tipped Kaufmo over the edge into insanity, seeing as Caine was building it specifically to make the Circus members happy. In fact, Caine was trying to actually let them out, he was attempting to the best of his ability to build a real exit, and only failed because a reality outside the Digital Circus is something beyond both his comprehension and ability to access. The false exit was constructed with no malic, rather indeed out of a desire to bring comfort and felicity to the humans in his care. The door was built with nothing but good intentions, but it took Kaufmo straight to hell.
The animation, lighting, effects. sounds, faces, textures and even the CAMERA ANGLES? This is STUNNING. All the overwhelming visuals and close in shots and static it's like this short thought of everything to be horror and gripping from the start. The voice acting is great too. 10/10 this is beyond amazing especially for a fan made project.
Can we talk about how haunting the music is at 9:45 it is the most haunting and depressing thing I have ever truly heard in my life and it makes Kaufmo abstraction all the sadder and it makes what I once viewed as the silly weird horse looking design for the abstraction as something genuinely horrifying and outright disgusting like an infection that doesn’t belong in this world
It fits the scene perfectly. It feels like it is trying to play a happy tune but notes are missing and cannot go well together. Exactly what happened to Kaufmo - he sort of went missing and insane, unable to do anything despite his tries. It's really haunting indeed.
ok first things first THIS WAS SO GOOD! BRAZILIAN ARTISTS FOR THE WIN!! second things second now I totally headcanon Kaufmo as someone who struggled with social anxiety (or just being in the spotlight/center of attention) in real life- but because he ended up in the clown avatar Caine forced him to do comedy performances which is basically his worst nightmare. He tries his best not to embarrass himself and be at least somewhat entertaining but he was never the "funny guy" irl and no matter how hard he tries those things really don't come natural to him. Also whoever voiced Kinger was so good!!! Wow!!!
I have a feeling that even though Kaufmo is dead, he's going to be one of the most interesting characters. I doubt though that he just abstracted by himself, and it's actually one of the other characters series that's been messing with his mind so much with led to his abstraction, in some sort of twisted experiment to figure out how the game works so they can escape it.
I think you’re right. I have a feeling that Jax, while possibly not directly intending to, contributed to Kaufmo’s abstraction. After all, Gooseworx said he deserves to be in the circus the most of all the characters. Maybe that’s why he didn’t go to the funeral, but also looked upset at the mention of it. There’s some underlying guilt there. I also feel like Jax might be the closest to abstraction in TADC tbh, but that’s just a theory.
The animators that worked on this should be hired by Glitch. This is the best fan animation I’ve ever seen! I really loved how you guys envisioned the abstraction of the exit being a hallucination and not real and then all the chaos when he was writing exit. I saw all the joke pun lines like “clownfish” but also “why aren’t you good enough?” and “what’s wrong with you?” and other similar phrases that the others may have told him. I also want to say the voice actors did a great job on doing the impressions of the cast, especially Jax, it’s very hard to do a Jax impression and I’ve seen no one do it as good as this. This fan film deserves WAY more attention
7:33 what's even worse kaufmo probably didn't notice Cain, he couldn't tell if it was real or just him losing sanity, what part of it was real and what part isn't...
This film really brought fourth the horrors of abstraction, how terrifying and bleak the world of tadc. It may not have the death and darkness series like berserk, but the hopelessness is captured really well here. Kaufmo’s descent into madness was also saddening to see, the dude deserves better
Even though this is not official and is something made by fans, I must say that this Fan-Film is well made, every time I saw Kaufmo having panic, fear and despair, I felt very bad for him, his desperation to find the way out. It led him to become abstracted and turn into what we saw in chapter one. PS: A good Fan-Film bro
I'm shocked that you guys made a character who literally never had a speaking role in the actual show a truly tragic and layered character. The darker, claustrophobic tone this short has absolutely sells how alone Kaufmo really feels.
There's no official description on the events that got Kaufmo abstracted (as far as I'm aware) but this feels very accurate on what could've happen, this also somehow looks way better than the official series.
This was actually very disturbing. It perfectly captures the kind of vibe that Gooseworx is trying to go for with the series, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see something of this level in the actual show. Great work dude!
To be fair, Gooseworx has said numerous times the series isn’t supposed to be horror, rather a dark comedy. However I have a feeling it will definitely get darker in the actual series either way. And yes, the short is perfectly unsettling, the abstraction part is super well done!
If you show this show to someone who only knows Digital Circus by the description of the first episode, you can fool them into thinking this short is official, GOOD JOB THAT WAS A MASTERPIECE
OMG instant 10/10 everything about this was PERFECT!!! During the scenes when kaufmo was going insane while looking for an exit door, had me genuinely terrified. And this also got me insanely emotional. Every tadc fan HAS to see this! And glitch if you're watching this, PLEASEEEE make this canon!
Absolutely love how this short focused more on the horror aspect of the series as a whole, and the animation was very impressive. Keep up the good work!
Glitch Productions, hire this man at once! This is probably one of the best fan creations on CZcams for TADC, honestly! Good job to everyone involved in this!!!
That was epic, the lighting added to the mood, the characters looked near-perfect, the voices sounded exactly like the original VA's voice acting, everything was great
I think you really captured the horror the series has the potential to be , the bright set dressing really contrasts nicely with the pov of kaufmo before he abstracts not to mention the snappy animation used creates a visible anxiety and paranoia to the character. Really hope this blows up there was clearly lots of love put into it!
This film is drop dead gorgeous!! The lighting, the acting, the music- GOD the music was so GOOD. The animation was spectacular too, but I can’t say I’m surprised since the trailer for this short looked so stellar. You and your team truly made something super cool. Congrats!!!
HOLY CRUD MUFFINS! THIS IS SO FANTASTIC! THE STORY, THE ANIMATION, THE MUSIC! I love all the passion you and your crew put into this film! I really hope Glitch sees this. They seriously should hire you! I am so sharing this with my friends who are fans of the amazing digital circus. I wish I could express better with my words of how cool and epic this fan film is!

This could also set up some narrative parrallel between the both of them if the future episodes plan to reveal more of Kaufmo's story later down the road.
I like how the characters probably have some struggle to get over in the real world, like perfoance anxiety (Kaufmo) appearances (Zooble), emotions (Gangle), secrets (Jax), finding your place in the world (Pomni), feeling helpless or like a toy (Ragatha), and taking charge and leadership (Kinger)
Okay around 9 minutes I'm glad I didn't try shrooms. INSANE visuals.
I legit don't think shrooms would make it worse
It’s great to see Kaufmo get the respect he deserves.
How does a character whose only screen time was the cut out that appeared for 2 seconds and his funeral picture
(And no I’m not counting the abstraction)
He sooo cute and precious poor guy :(
I hope we learn more about his character later.
Even if that didn't last long...
for reallll
i love how this might give some extra context to why Kaufmo's Abstracted form has so many eyes
the fear of being perceived is a very real fear
and he could only conquer it by looking back
dark to think that he could only find an exit in abstraction
ooo this is a good film
Goose said all abstractions look the same... but it couldve been a cool theory
@@ZixybitsyI feel it's a huge missed opportunity to have all abstractions look the exact same when their design could be an expression of the original entity's descent into madness. But I guess the shot of the cellar filled with eyes wouldn't make much sense if it wasn't the case
@bdletoast09 Well, apparently, abstraction is supposed to strip people of their identity so in that sense I think it makes sense
@@bdletoast09the fanbase would be flooded of project moon fans saying kaufmo distorted lol
all abstract has many eyes
0:37 I like how Kinger was just staring off into space. Classic Kinger
Because kinger don't have ears
@@ErvianTnoh Gangle and Zooble don't either but they still heard kt
@@mayita_1234 because kinger made by wood?..
@@ErvianTnoh dude they are literally cartoon characters. Every character has no ears, but they can still hear.
That abstraction scene was BRILLIANT
I literally felt physical chills
The don't hug me I'm scared vibes are strong with this one and i love it
This seriously puts the “Amazing” in The Amazing Digital Circus. Absolute cinema. 🔥
Make a video talking about this fanfilm pls.
The one and only yagsterr!
YAGSTERR!!!!
Kinger actually sympathizing and having a heart to heart is something no one thought they would hear
His heart was always in the right place.
His mind? Ehhh….
@@blankcanvas3358This comment is the perfect description of him
Isn't that what he had with Ragatha in episode 2?
1:02 This Arcane Jinx effect looks surprisingly terrifying, specially when it makes sense with Kaufmo.
Omg yessss
WAIT .. OH I JUST NOTICED
7:54 ALSO NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS SCENE FEELS LIKE EP 3 S1 ARC AS WELL
ARCANE REFERENCE
They did take reference from Arcane at 7:51 he acts like Powder did when Vi left her to save Vander!
Dear lord you captured the essence of it so PERFECTLY!!
Kaufmo having social anxiety also seems pretty likely on my opinion, i know from experience what stage fright is like
And Kinger comforting him, although not in the best way, you can tell he really was trying
And the ending with Kaufmo abstracting, how he just sat there an accepted his fate, showing perfectly how he had given up all hope right Than and there!!
Truly a masterpiece!
Man, the fact that Caine just says "Oh, there you are." and just shoves Kaufmo back into his room without another word. That's Caine alright, completely unable to understand that the people around him are distraught.
I also want to say that the cinematography and editing in this are stellar. 9:21 Could absolutely be used as a wallpaper. You did a fantastic job!
I don't want to go there
I need to get there
A truly corrupt and bizarre experience that brings the horror to the digital circus, what went from a glitchy llama to a terrifying experience nobody should be put through. Seeing Kaufmo realize he’s already abstracted and knowing it’s too late, that one really hurts chief. You really put a lot to the character of Kaufmo, even if he canonically didint show up you made him very sympathetic, incredible job
also reed donat as jax is perfect casting
This took my breath away omg.
You all did an amazing job with this, I hope Glitch sees it! Wishing you the best with future projects❤
OMG HI I WATCH YOU
damn its the bird guy
They saw it!
Im so honoured i got to voice zooble!!! Thank you so much for this opportunity!!! ENJOY THE FILM EVERYONE !!!!

The chicken joke is a suicide joke. Fitting for someone going insane.
it’s actually not, it was around before cars were invented, and is actually an anti-joke bc there’s really nothing funny about the joke other than the lack of a punchline; thus, suicideless antihumour
8:48 In Japan, the work for 4 can also be pronounced like the word for Death (Shi). Because of such, groups of 4 are seen as a bad omen.

“All it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man alive to lunacy. That’s how far the world is from where I am, just one… bad… day….” -the Joker
god worthy quote
And both Kaufmo and the Joker are Clowns… what a coincidence
I really love the contrast in the lighting at 3:00 it feels straight out of a film and I always theorized Kaufmo was only second to Kinger in terms of time spent in the circus and I this shot just showed how different they were, one who managed to come to terms with the fact he was trapped and lost his mind and now ignorant but in bliss while the other one is still desperately trying to escape and cling to whatever sanity is left as he knows far too well what will happen if he doesn’t leave. It’s also the only time he ever directly speaks with someone else as Kaufmo was pretty separated from the rest of the group and I love how his voice sounded in that monent
Kinger was so real for checking up on kaufmo
W Kinger, that part REALLY made my heart warm
*Chess ends when the king dies*
THIS IS LIKE NOT JUST REALLY GOOD, ITS PERFECTION. AMAZING. I love how you made us remember that kaufmo never had a good ending, when in the show they say they dont laugh at his jokes it doesnt seem to hurt, but when you see it from his perspective, it hurts.
Glad to know that the Digital Circus fandom was not just formed by kids and farm chanels but also adults who know production tecniques and animation ♥♥
HELLO?? THE ANIMATION HAS NO REASON TO BE THIS JAW-DROPPINGLY GOOD FOR A CHARACTER THAT DIDNT HAVE A LINE IN THE SHOW OMG!!!
Remember, Kaufmo lost his human life when he entered the circus. That’s why Caine gave him a new one as a clown to give him a purpose to make people be happy and laugh. The reason why he went insane and abstracted is because he realised no one is finding his jokes funny anymore. He has no purpose anymore, and he thinks his friends couldn’t care less. This made him think about how much he misses his human life which he could barely remember, he wanted it back so bad that Caine’s fake exit drove him down the rabbit hole.
But he saw himself abstracting, which delve him into a panic attack. The strange nature of the circus manifested his stress into an abstracted monster. He thought he could out run it to escape, and finally leave the circus. But when Caine brought him back, he realised there really was no way out (just like how Pomni discovered). This was the last straw, he ran out of sanity and abstracted.
😭🤡 That’s my interpretation…
Really love the animation! ❤️
I think that puts it in a nutshell
Wow
Thats EXACTLY what I thought
Poor Kaufmo gone through so much insanity before you know met his sad fate. This is something we needed to get Kaufmo the love he truly needed.
Kaumo needs some love he's been trough a lot and so much sanity
I really love this work, from the expressions to the suspense of how despair consumes Kaufmo into abstraction. The animation is spectacular, the brightness and the backgrounds, the scene of the abstraction process with the figures and random images caught me (feeling like you have eyes looking at you, it's like being in a weirdcore nightmare after feeling broken all day and every day).
Honestly love this way better than how the actual show turned out to be. This themeing works so well as horror and the idea of being stuck in a digital world. This short film captures the Liminal Circus backgrounds way better than what I hoped the original show ended up doing with it.
Give this film a 1000/10 Amazing work you guys keep it up!
0:15
His palms were sweaty, knees weak, arms were heavy, kaufmo’s nervous, but the clowny surface, he was calm and ready to tell jokes-

There is a theory that everyone in the circus if there to face a fear or get over some kind of Unhealthy obsession, like how Zooble in the real world might of been obsessed with the way she looks so in the circus she looks all jumbled up and such. So my theory is that Kufmo is actually pretty shy and has terrible stage fright that's why he is shown as the funny on stage clown
The creators stated TADC is heavily inspired by I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream however I like this theory too!!!
@@pbee.njayay444You could say that’s the torture, having to forever face your greatest nightmares in a place that traps you there.
Pomni’s desire, in the first episode, was just to leave, leading to her constantly sees exit doors everywhere. She broke down into manic laughter after a little before finding the void.
Kinger immediately knowing something was wrong because he's been there the longest and he's seen this happen time and time again is killing me 💔. Amazing work, I loved this so much🩷!
Crazy how official it looks for a fanfilm, and the voice acting was pretty damn solid too.
7:55 lore moment
It's nice to see Kinger being aware of Kaufmo's feelings and trying to support.
“Kaufmo I know your in there
People have been asking where you’ve been”
"They say "have courage" and i'm trying to. I'm right out here for you, just let me innnnnnn"
We only have each other... it's just you and me....
What are we gonna doooo
What are we gonna do to kaufmo
@@Diggie7611 do you want to start a circus....
It's so tragic that it's the unfinished exit door that tipped Kaufmo over the edge into insanity, seeing as Caine was building it specifically to make the Circus members happy. In fact, Caine was trying to actually let them out, he was attempting to the best of his ability to build a real exit, and only failed because a reality outside the Digital Circus is something beyond both his comprehension and ability to access. The false exit was constructed with no malic, rather indeed out of a desire to bring comfort and felicity to the humans in his care.
The door was built with nothing but good intentions, but it took Kaufmo straight to hell.
10:41 Jax and Pomni
P.s You made a really great job!
This feels like a lost DVD extra, it's FANTASTIC. This entire team did an incredible job, and should all be so proud of what was achieved here.
1:52 I love how kinger noticed Kaufmo just like in the episode, 1!
The animation, lighting, effects. sounds, faces, textures and even the CAMERA ANGLES? This is STUNNING. All the overwhelming visuals and close in shots and static it's like this short thought of everything to be horror and gripping from the start. The voice acting is great too. 10/10 this is beyond amazing especially for a fan made project.
Bro ngl. This should be a Secret video If Glitch Ever made this.
But you. You cooked on this man! Really wish this was a think for Kaufmo man!
I’m gonna say it, this guy NEEDS to be an animator for glitch
Can we talk about how haunting the music is at 9:45 it is the most haunting and depressing thing I have ever truly heard in my life and it makes Kaufmo abstraction all the sadder and it makes what I once viewed as the silly weird horse looking design for the abstraction as something genuinely horrifying and outright disgusting like an infection that doesn’t belong in this world
I really hope we can the soundtrack for this
It fits the scene perfectly. It feels like it is trying to play a happy tune but notes are missing and cannot go well together. Exactly what happened to Kaufmo - he sort of went missing and insane, unable to do anything despite his tries. It's really haunting indeed.
The amazing digital circus cover by Colin Stetson (Hereditary, The menu, Uzumaki)
@@manfob22That’s EXACTLY what I was thinking when I heard the trumpets, it sounded so much like Hereditary!
ok first things first THIS WAS SO GOOD! BRAZILIAN ARTISTS FOR THE WIN!!
second things second now I totally headcanon Kaufmo as someone who struggled with social anxiety (or just being in the spotlight/center of attention) in real life- but because he ended up in the clown avatar Caine forced him to do comedy performances which is basically his worst nightmare. He tries his best not to embarrass himself and be at least somewhat entertaining but he was never the "funny guy" irl and no matter how hard he tries those things really don't come natural to him.
Also whoever voiced Kinger was so good!!! Wow!!!
Voice of Kinger here, thank you so much!
DAMN, This has to be the BEST FANFILM they could have made of TADC!!!
I LOVED IT, VERY WELL DONE!!!
Ok can we just respect the voice acting for a moment
I love how the composition of almost every angle and camera is so closed in on Kaufmo that it effectively makes the viewer feel so claustrophobic
I have a feeling that even though Kaufmo is dead, he's going to be one of the most interesting characters.
I doubt though that he just abstracted by himself, and it's actually one of the other characters series that's been messing with his mind so much with led to his abstraction, in some sort of twisted experiment to figure out how the game works so they can escape it.
You could be right on there
Jax?
I think you’re right. I have a feeling that Jax, while possibly not directly intending to, contributed to Kaufmo’s abstraction. After all, Gooseworx said he deserves to be in the circus the most of all the characters. Maybe that’s why he didn’t go to the funeral, but also looked upset at the mention of it. There’s some underlying guilt there. I also feel like Jax might be the closest to abstraction in TADC tbh, but that’s just a theory.
The animation in this is so beautiful and terrifying at the same time
And the SOUND DESIGN????
I love it!
much horror for actual series
10:36 I love that they included Pomni and Jax at the end of the short!
Yeah me too
I SAW THE POMNI SHADOW 😆😆😆 10:42
Oh wow i hadn't noticed pomni in there
Indeed.
i was waiting for that😄
You know, people love Both Murder Drones and Digital Circus, they get so invested that they make a high quality fan project for lore curiosity.
The threatening Running Scene and then that Cane Moment.
It is so Perfectly Cane.
The animators that worked on this should be hired by Glitch. This is the best fan animation I’ve ever seen! I really loved how you guys envisioned the abstraction of the exit being a hallucination and not real and then all the chaos when he was writing exit. I saw all the joke pun lines like “clownfish” but also “why aren’t you good enough?” and “what’s wrong with you?” and other similar phrases that the others may have told him. I also want to say the voice actors did a great job on doing the impressions of the cast, especially Jax, it’s very hard to do a Jax impression and I’ve seen no one do it as good as this. This fan film deserves WAY more attention
7:33 what's even worse kaufmo probably didn't notice Cain, he couldn't tell if it was real or just him losing sanity, what part of it was real and what part isn't...
I really love that the music during the ending scene where abstracted Kaufmo is revealed sounds like a Digital Circus-ified Hereditary
This film really brought fourth the horrors of abstraction, how terrifying and bleak the world of tadc. It may not have the death and darkness series like berserk, but the hopelessness is captured really well here. Kaufmo’s descent into madness was also saddening to see, the dude deserves better
3:16 "We are here for flowers and tomatoes"
I LITERALLY LOVE KINGER LOLL
Oh my gosh, we’re going to have a Kaufmo fan episode. Kaufmo is the best character and makes the best Jokes.
Omg yes for real my third best character kaufmo
Even though this is not official and is something made by fans, I must say that this Fan-Film is well made, every time I saw Kaufmo having panic, fear and despair, I felt very bad for him, his desperation to find the way out. It led him to become abstracted and turn into what we saw in chapter one.
PS: A good Fan-Film bro
Poor kaufmo having a panic fear and despair i feel bad for kaufmo😭😢
I find this as a canon prequel to episode 1 no one can change my mind
same unless the actual show manages to give us a satifsfying one 😂
I'm shocked that you guys made a character who literally never had a speaking role in the actual show a truly tragic and layered character. The darker, claustrophobic tone this short has absolutely sells how alone Kaufmo really feels.
There's no official description on the events that got Kaufmo abstracted (as far as I'm aware) but this feels very accurate on what could've happen, this also somehow looks way better than the official series.
This and the series simply have different styles, I don't think we should compare them. They both look good, at least in my opinion
0:15 First time we ever see Kaufmo and hear his voice. I feel bad for him😔 but thank you for releasing this Video! Very impressive......🙂
This was actually very disturbing. It perfectly captures the kind of vibe that Gooseworx is trying to go for with the series, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see something of this level in the actual show.
Great work dude!
To be fair, Gooseworx has said numerous times the series isn’t supposed to be horror, rather a dark comedy. However I have a feeling it will definitely get darker in the actual series either way. And yes, the short is perfectly unsettling, the abstraction part is super well done!
@@orionyxe Yeah, fixed that part. I still think the show could get as dark and disturbing as this short.
This came out so amazing! Thanks for letting me be a part of this with VA
I was so excited to see it's finally out
Y’all did amazing
9:13 the way the music kept getting more insane and the way the video kept getting more haunting
If you show this show to someone who only knows Digital Circus by the description of the first episode, you can fool them into thinking this short is official, GOOD JOB THAT WAS A MASTERPIECE
This makes his funeral in episode 2 sadder 🥺
How did the 90s era computer render this fabulous looking animation?
Suspension of disbelief!
OMG instant 10/10 everything about this was PERFECT!!! During the scenes when kaufmo was going insane while looking for an exit door, had me genuinely terrified. And this also got me insanely emotional. Every tadc fan HAS to see this! And glitch if you're watching this, PLEASEEEE make this canon!
Day 2 of waiting for glitch to look at this master piece.
Absolutely love how this short focused more on the horror aspect of the series as a whole, and the animation was very impressive. Keep up the good work!
Glitch Productions, hire this man at once!
This is probably one of the best fan creations on CZcams for TADC, honestly! Good job to everyone involved in this!!!
2:53 i really like this interaction. Feels right with the lighting, the mood, and the silence.
That was epic, the lighting added to the mood, the characters looked near-perfect, the voices sounded exactly like the original VA's voice acting, everything was great
4:22NAAAHH THIS SHOW IS SO HIGH QUALITY IT MAKES RAGITHAS ANGRY FACE LOOK CREEPY 💀💀💀💀
"All it takes is one bad day."
-Joker from the killing joke
I think you really captured the horror the series has the potential to be , the bright set dressing really contrasts nicely with the pov of kaufmo before he abstracts not to mention the snappy animation used creates a visible anxiety and paranoia to the character. Really hope this blows up there was clearly lots of love put into it!
It’s terrifying when he sees himself and his abstracted self in the exit…
This film is drop dead gorgeous!! The lighting, the acting, the music- GOD the music was so GOOD. The animation was spectacular too, but I can’t say I’m surprised since the trailer for this short looked so stellar. You and your team truly made something super cool. Congrats!!!
my boy finally gets thr attention he deserves
HOLY CRUD MUFFINS! THIS IS SO FANTASTIC! THE STORY, THE ANIMATION, THE MUSIC! I love all the passion you and your crew put into this film! I really hope Glitch sees this. They seriously should hire you!
I am so sharing this with my friends who are fans of the amazing digital circus.
I wish I could express better with my words of how cool and epic this fan film is!
