Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed your video reflecting truth that more should see…May eyes be opened to the reality before us. May the change we need be made sooner rather than later; too late.

Chills.

OMG!!! Thank you guys for all of your support!

Unfortunately I was unable to comment on the livestream since I don't have a channel, but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who commented, watched, or even just scrolled past this and thought, "hey that looks kinda neat".
I was super touched by everyone who enjoyed this, and I'm so glad you guys liked my StoryReel!

Congrats to everyone who submitted, and special congrats to the other winners, Zoey (Growing) and Mason (Not Your Average Slice of Pizza)!! Both of your submissions were amazing, and you guys definitely deserved your awards!

Everyone did such a great job with the program, and I look forward to seeing all of your work in the future!

Congratulations everyone! :D

Yeah, thank you for your support too, and congratulations! Your story totally deserved a win, great stuff!

Thank you! Same goes for you :)
Congrats!

WOW!! Absolutely beautiful!!! The message was so clear something many people can resonate with and the art and animation was incredible! Overall, you did an incredible job! <3

Thank you Kat! :D

Wow your animation is really vivid and the music added an element that gave me a hopeful feeling. I also resonate with the story you are telling of nature and technology, which needs to work together and not against each other. Great job!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked the animation!!

Absolutely wonderful this story was executed perfectly the characters and visuals are are top notch and the music is the just the perfect cherry on top.

Thank you!

This is so incredible! I love this story so much! I am so sad I never got to see your acts in development but I am so glad I get to see your final story reel. I feel like there are not enough words to express how much I love this story reel. I know this story reel is on the longer side but it is perfect. I love how you balance color and movement in your submission. And you have incredible use of perspective. I definitely see all the techniques we learned about during this program shining throughout this piece. I really hope you post more of your work on YouTube so we can continue to see other things you do.

Thank you so much Maya! I'm so glad you enjoyed! :D
Unfortunately, I do not have Youtube, but I'll be sure to let you know if I ever do in the future!

The music was great for the story, and I loved how the characters worked together at the end. The art was absolutely amazing! Great story all around.

Thank you Nicolas!
:D

Love these types of stories, about two different worlds who need to learn to understand each other. What to say! your visuals are so great, no need for dialogue at all and you can tell what is going on. Incredible storytelling and message, it is so creative!

Thank you! I am glad you understood what’s going on! I also love the two worlds/opposing forces come together stories :)

OMG that was literally so amazing. I was already so impressed when I watched your previous submissions, but now, with music? That was on a new level! I sincerely wanted to cry. I thought I was about to cry (if your film had been longer, I would probably be sobbing right now). Your artwork is literally so good. The one thing I was confused about was how much time had passed in the film, but that did not distract from the PURE AWESOMENESS of your film. I loved it so much.

Audrey, I cannot tell you how much that means to me!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! :D

That was absolutely incredible! I am so impressed. The use of music and illustration was amazing, this is bound to get an award! The coloring, drawings, and symbolism was amazing, and the lesson was something we need to learn in real life. I am so impressed I can't even put it into words, this is a masterpiece! AMAZING WORK. Everything was perfect. :D

Aw thank you Grace! :D
I'm glad you enjoyed!

This was very well done. I like the bits of animation, they added a nice touch. Very good job again and I hope to see more great things in future semesters!

Thank you so much Madeleine!

How can I say this without cussing? THAT WAS THE BEST FREAKING SHORTFILM IV'E EVER SEEN!!!! If I saw that recommended on YouTube, I would watch that! I can always tell what goes on just by music, so even if you didn't put the story in the description, I would have still known what was going on and that actually takes a lot of work to find the right music to match what's going on! You did amazing! Hopefully I see this story again soon.

Thank you so much Rose! I'm so glad you enjoyed my short that much!! :D

I'm so glad you enjoyed the music editing, if you're curious about where it's from, the song is called "Eternity" by Whitesand. They have royalty free music on their youtube channel.

Really good and exciting to see your final project! I really liked the beginning and how the music, movement and colors moved with the story. All of it came together so well into such a good ending. I think this looks professional and I really think you have so much talent. Such a great story!!

Thank you so much Mason!! :D

That was amazing! The drawings were so cool, and the movement you added with animation really brought the whole thing together. The fight scene was just phenomenal, and the lighting effects made it even better! Great work, loved how you incorporated both nature and technology working together in the end!

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the fight scene!
