Very nice. How did you make this?
Ian Worrel 1 year ago

thanks. material used: straight pencil and paper for the man and cat line animation. colored in photoshop, composited in after effects onto backgrounds constructed in photoshop out of various pieces of media (pen/ink, pencil, paint, photos, etc.)

Man, this is truly amazing, probably the best short I've seen this year. Maybe an impolite question: What was the budget?
Anyways, much succes to you :D

I did most of this my last year of school. So I guess tuition would be the only money I spent. A buddy of mine, James Mark, did the music for free (a fun side project for him).

I loved this!! In the end when the Cat breathed life into the man reminded me of.... "the LORD God formed the man, from the dust of the ground and breathed into him the breath of life, and the man became a living being" Genesis 2:7, really cool!!! I loved how the characters were out of normal proportion.

wow, congratulations! I will know that feeling of accomplishment soon... I'm in the middle of finishing my first solo album. It's a story with many characters I do (cartoon voices) It's out March 15 -It's called the second coming. Strange, our last names and our "second" projects... crazy coincidence. My girlfriend recommended me to your video -not to mention she did my album cover. If you want, I can let you know when it's out -it's gonna be a FREE Download

that's an amazing short.Beautiful textures, great narrative, an perfect music. It reminds me of The Settlers a bit.

Except this made me stop what I was doing and think. Not sure what about but it was a very special unique film.

Wow I can't describe the feeling when watching this film. I'm speechless.

It seems like the cat and the windmill or the "windmill spirit" are in some sort of correlation to each other. What's the meaning of it?
