A Gentleman’s Duel Animated Short

Gentlemen's Duel short by Blur
[edit - Video was removed from Dailymotion, alas.  Hopefully there will be a legitimate place to see it soon.  (Let me know if you find one.)]
I hadn’t been planning to post tonight, but for the deeply Steampunk Blur animated short, I will happily make an exception. A Gentleman’s Duel, by Blur, we’ve posted about in the past, and linked to the trailer – and to be honest I don’t know if the above video from Dailymotion is ‘allowed’ so to speak, but it has more than served its purpose because I will buy this given the first chance! I wish there were more from this wonderful Steampunk setting they have.
Two gentlemen, one lady – something has to give! An earthshattering battle and a cheeky ending. Highly recommended. Thanks to two gentlemen – M. Christian and Mr Goblyn. I’d watched this at work recently, but couldn’t find a link – thank you both!

    Get it while its hot, before it becomes not.

    Sadly, it seems that all traces of this 'film' have been scoured from the Interweb.
    :(

    Perhaps Miss Lawler would be good enough to direct us to the exact spot in that labyrinthine site where one might find the film? I have, alas, not been able to locate it, although I signed up and went through all the mish-mash thus entailed.

    Pray, tell us where this wondrous picture may be found there!

  • So far the film has not resurfaced but the trailer is visible from the blur site:

    Not a real consolation for those who have NOT seen it, but better than nothing.

    I saw that the animation was featured at the animation festival of Annecy. Unfortunatly the dvd featuring the festival does not propose it :(
  • Tinkergirl
    Ah yes, so it has. Bother, but not unexpected - I wasn't sure if it had been allowed to be posted (it seems to get put in unexpected places) but I expect that after it got mentioned on BoingBoing, someone noticed and checked up on it.

    I do hope they let us know when there's a legitimate way to watch it - it didn't get shown near me.

    Tarnation! It's been pulled! Any alternative links to it? O'wise, there's always the possibility of visiting www.blur.com and checking it out there.

    Amazing!

    Hysterical!

    Believe it or not, "A Gentleman's Duel" was featured (However breifly) on "Attack of the Show" a sort of news program for the G4 network. Amazing that such an unknown animation is reached the (sorta) mainstream!
  • Stand down Cheese Pirate!
  • Krom
    Damm,
    I remember seeing news about the artist on CGtalks forums.
    This is the future! All for the mechanical DVD now!

    Awesome!
  • SM
    Wow, battling Steam-Mechs... done with Brad Bird humor and style... outstanding sirs.
  • Bravo to the artists! The quality of the animation is fantastic! Dreamwork could learn some of them...
  • Grandtinker Goriath
    Fantastic!
  • Tinkergirl
    Oh I'd love to see this on the big screen, but I've not heard of any showings near me. Such a shame.

    It is good fun - and don't worry Mr Adams - it's worth the wait.
