Oh my goodness your plant characters are so precious and Sprout is so cute!! Each plant has such clear designs and personality! Your voice work was awesome and really adds even more dynamic energy to your dynamic world..And I absolutely appreciate your hard work with your color design, its very vibrant and it already feels like a short film! I look forward to see where you take Sprout's story and stories you tell in the future! Your story and pacing is very clear, Sprout's wants and goals are well presented and I love the moral you show through Sprout's actions..I really felt attached to his struggles trying to become the other plants, and then realizing his own worth and talents. Wonderful work Sophia!!

I love the use of colors and the overall design! I like the use of sound effects as well. I would suggest giving the plants the ability to speak as it would create more of an interesting plot line. I like the theme of the video as many have had problems transitioning into adulthood. Growth looks different for everybody and I am glad to see that idea being expressed in this video. It makes the story more relatable and compelling. I am very happy to have seen your final submission and how it has played out!

I love how colorful this story is! You can feel the sadness of the characters when they get separated from each other. The music leading up to the sprout not being watered is perfect for that sequence. And the inclusion of the sprout checking it's "watch" is really funny ;) I like the personalities that you are able to create with your drawings, they seem like they are having a good time in their little plant world. Great job Sophia!

Hi Sophia! I’m so glad to see your final submission! I know you have worked so hard to get here, so congratulations!

I see big improvements from your previous versions, you have developed the relation of Sprout with the rest of the plants very well. I like the sounds that you have added, but I was wondering why they can’t speak. If they are able to think and to share their resources, wouldn’t they be able to speak?
I think that the moral of the story is wonderful, a lot of times we compare to other people and feel bad about ourselves since we feel we’re failing while other people, doing the exact same things than us succeed. I appreciate that you have decided to tell a story to celebrate the differences of each of us.

Congratulations on finishing the Xperiential program! I loved being able to see how your story evolved over the weeks :)

Hi Sophia!

I enjoyed the theme of this story and how you tied it to plants growing. It was a great way to highlight the struggles of growing up and leaving our comfort zone. The subtle sound effects were a nice touch. It was nice that even without any official dialogue, you tell a wonderful story. Great job!

Please use the box below to provide feedback to the creators of this submission:​

This is a story about growth/ growing up. Initially inspired by my own difficult transition into adulthood I want to showcase that everyone has a different journey. What works for you may not work for others, and people value success in different ways. You should never compare yourself to others because your growth may show itself in a less obvious way. You should never look down on someone because they don't look like your idea of success.Through this storyreel Sprout tries to find his own path to growth, and has some troubles along the way.
So I ended up kind of starting fresh with ideas developed from everyone's feedback. I believe this version has a more well rounded plot and I challenged myself to include no dialogue or narration. You will see i have added some (very rough) sound effects to give an idea of how it could develop further.
I know it may still need some work in areas but I am happy with the story and this experience has taught me lots! I have had lots of fun, thank you to everyone who has shared along the way :)

This is where the special thanks would go!  I’m assuming they will be a little longer this week, therefore, I designed extra space for them. If there is far more description and special thanks then there is space, this entire box becomes scrollable.

Special Thanks:
