Late reply, but I disagree. AAA Studio was helpful, certainly, but there are a few reasons they can't be credited as having "found it."
1. The short existed on the internet prior to them uploading it. It had existed on the file sharing website Ulozto since 2014.
2. Although the video was on AAA Studio's YouTube channel a month prior to NitrateNerd running across it, the video was not titled "Clockman" at the time. You have to remember nobody knew the real title so Clockman was just a name we made up. The YouTube video was instead named after the short's original title, O Paradive Sally, which is why it wasn't identified immediately. AAA Studio renamed the video after the fact to make it more easily searchable.
3. The most important point is, even though the video did exist online throughout most of the search, none of the uploads of it were titled "Clockman" and so remained unidentified as the short we were looking for. It wasn't until NitrateNerd made the connection that Sally IS Clockman that it could be considered found by everyone looking for it.
