A comedic stop motion animation from Oscar-nominated Cordell Barker in which a boy fantasizes about possessing godlike powers he'd use to impress his crush and undermine his bullies.

“If I Was God” | The Screening Room | The New Yorker
99% of people were probably thinking “Oh no he’s gonna shock himself.” But I was worried about how he’s gonna lick something that he just stuck into frog guts.
My response was "Oh God he’s gonna shock himself, and that's something that he just stuck into frog guts, not to metntion the perservatants that were used on the frog. YUCK!" I liked disecting, but the smell of the preservatants always made me nausous.

Omg sameee

That was sooo deep.
And of course, in your world of "OMG" and "weird" and "these sort of things" you could never even heard of Cordell Barker.
SAME.
"You see, If I was a god, I wouldn't only use my power to punish" Me: how nice. he'd also use it for good "I'd use it to get what I wanted" Also me : oh
😂
Just like Yahweh.

Everybody in the comments are just saying “If I was a god..” but nobody is saying how amazing this video was done. This must have took forever. This is great.
Exactly.
there's literally a guy just below your comment saying that 1 month before you did
Your right we’re just pointing things out.........but yes I do feel sorry thx for reminding me.😁

It's not that good -that is why ! Not everyone shares your opinions you know ? Ok bye now
He wanted to be God all way along and in the end he felt that moment of perfection. World's perfect with just the way things are. Everyone needs their moment of realization.
😅 wouldn’t call the world perfect but deffo here for those moments of perfection!
Ooh
Paradise isn't an afterlife; it's that one moment where you feel like you belong. Once you have it, you will never lose it. The world isn't perfect, but it's the only one I belong in, and as far as I know, the only that exists. I wouldn't call that a noteworthy memory, but it's good enough. I never had a paradise, so I found one within me. That's the only perfect thing I have in life.
The world isn’t perfect
@@user-gd8ij1br9w yes
As someone who went to John Henderson and is currently in the same high school Cordell Barker was in, (an alumnus plaque with his name is on the wall, right by the front doors) it’s so weird and cool to think that we shared some of the same classrooms. He’s one of my favourite animators.
Basically, this is Light Yagami´s inner thoughts during school. lmao
True!!!

This was about kids doing stupid stuff and permanently damaging themselves and even coming close to death ( the process of what it feels like to die in a kids mind). This was pretty deep. Feels like it was inspired by psychedelics.
Are you implying kids doing psychedelics? If so thats a really interesting way to interpret it.

4:40 sick 190° triangle there
Pomodorosan It isn’t a 190° Triangle it is an obtuse isososolies I spelled that so wrong :(
MMDDoge NO A RIGHT ANGLE IS 90° AGHGGAGHAGGHAGAGHGAGHGAGHHAG it is most commonly shaped like this “L”
Pomodorosan hmmm. 40 instead 30.
A triangle can only have the sum of its angles to be 180 degrees. In the video its 190. That's the mistake.
IKR? It's needs to be a 180 triangle ;-;
6:25 Actually a nice beat lol
4:42 wtf this is cursed if my math teacher would see that triangle this animation would be erased
This has a strange, dissociative feel to it.. and I’m not sure how I feel about it. It’s nice, though scary in a strange way. I guess the style of art and animation only add to the eerie feel, if you ask me
@Rorschach yeah dude XD
True. Your vocabulary impresses me very much. I am pleased... You should use your intelligence for something more than KZhead... Perhaps, maybe, better nuclear weapons for the soon to rise Soviet Union.
You look like a flluff doodle
Vv
When a film have this style of animation it is always the same... Except for Wallace and Groomit
4:42 triangles only have 180’ and its 190’

It's so strangely cozy at the end. I do believe the God simply heard his wish and helped to fulfill it a little. And that is great. The animation is beautiful and I like it very much! The creators are great!

Thats some GREAT ANIMATION especially when you did the cardboard and clay animation!

Well technically,”If I was god” is related to the actual video so
Genji Shimada for real
What does it mean by 'God'? What is this term's exact definition? We don't know. The ordinary person will tell you that it is an all powerful and all knowing being. The Religious person will tell you about his religion's God(s). The Scientist will tell you that there is no evidence of 'God' or God-like beings. The Dystopist will tell you that 'God' is a term for a higher but evil being, 'ascended' by technological or universal means that intends complete global wrath. What is your definition of 'God'? Please let me know in the replies!!

This must have taken forever to make!!
The video is 8 minutes how he could make a 8 minutes video on 3 minutes are you dumb?

@@packing7743 are you dumb? It takes a long time to make a animation especially a stop motion. How about you research before you start calling others dumb.
@@packing7743 are you that dumb? It takes days or even weeks to create an animation. I tried to animate a video and miserably failed.

😂😂😂 the way he was throwing out the insides of the frog 🤦♀️😅😂😂 Oh my goodness the teachers voice and manner of talking killed me
This animation is so cool! It's so fun and charming, and the claymation mixed with the 2D animation is so impressive. You took a very simple, very typical 12-year-old-boy concept and made it into something so bizarre and yet so lovable. I've just about fallen head over heels for this.

WOW! that was weird. Still, do they dissect frogs in High School? I remember doing this in the 8th or 9th grade. They would still be alive with a cut on their neck to sever the spine. It seems like a dream now. Would have been almost 60 years ago.
I got to do a mouse at age 14, what an incredible experience. Just happened that one of the mice was pregnant too

Is this a stop motion video? This is so amazing! It is so meticulous and precise motion! I respect this! I also make stop motion. I hope I'll keep doing and make a video lile this someday! I am so shocked! Is this a company?
