Hey all, this will most likely be the only thread I create.
I want to start by saying that I'm not trying to upstage Clockman, and I will accept it if people read this and think that and move on. However, in light of the recent spike in awareness of the Clockman fiasco, it has reminded me of a similar experience.
I remember seeing this when I was around 7 or 8, around 02/03, though I remember seeing it on Nicktoons Network, and I'm not sure if they had their young animators showcase running in those years because the first time I saw mention of it was in 2010, or even if the channel was airing around that time. But I'm 100% sure that I saw it on Nicktoons.
Anyway, onto the media. It was a short of a boy sitting on his bed with a flashlight against a blue background. The boy turns on the flashlight, and the background changes to orange with a yellow circle where he is pointing the light. They boy starts making shadow puppets, simple at first, but then getting more complex until he's animating a full on pirate battle with just his hands. The pirate battle gets more and more intense until there's an explosion and the boy falls off of his bed. He reaches up and forms the shadow of words saying "The End" before the short ends.
I've been to 4chan and reddit looking for anyone who may have seen it. I've been trying to figure out any minuscule amount of information about this and I'm beginning to question if it was even real at all. I just need confirmation that I'm not crazy and it existed, but it's up to you guys if it's worth finding.
(This is my first post i'm usually a lurker but I figured it would be better to post it now rather than after Clockman was found because either way someone would accuse me of copying Clockman. I'm not looking to be famous.)
