Digital Design

"What matters to you//me//?"

I mean, What really matters to me,
that thing that keeps me awake even after 2 days without closing my eyes,
that thing who always want to make it better and better and it's never good enough,
that thing that makes me want to not only "be good" but be The best.
That thing that modify your world and put crazy new ideas in your mind,
that thing that makes you hate yourself and one minute later makes you believe your the greatest.
That thing that makes you smile, laugh, dance, jump like lunatic.
That thing that often is not finished but is on your reel.
That thing that makes you be late.
That thing that puts you under pressure.
That thing that doesn't obliges you to sit in there when you don't want or you just don't "feel good" to sit there and make what you need to do, but when you sit by yourself there that thing makes sure that magic happens. That thing that makes your heart crazy.
That thing that say "every detail matters",
that thing that makes changes "here and there",
that thing that when is finished you say "yeah... I like it" and months later you may say "wow, it is great" or "I can't believe I was that bad".
That thing that creates the impossible.
That thing that makes you climb the mountain and scream, "thank you!".
That thing that impulse yourself to make a video for a competition where the possibilities are so few.
That thing that search the best quality.
That thing that keeps you up to date with ads, animations, webs, movies, music...
That thing that customizes all your stuffs.
That thing that screams and makes you to forget anything.
That thing that shows you the way to the most creative.
That thing...

So what's that thing "THE THING"?
I cannot describe it in one word but I'm sure it's not the money or the fame.

It is the love, the passion that God put in me of making something great, that makes you feel "something" when you get in touch with it, see it and hear it.
To produce something Innovative that makes a change or just catch your attention and make you smile, think, buy or just say "that's original".
That is the thing.

I believe VFS can help with this thing and that Digital Design is something I Love.
I believe there are no impossibles and I believe as Albert Einstein said once:

"I wish to do something Great and Wonderful,
But I must start by doing the little things like they were Great and Wonderful"
-A. Einstein

    That was extremely well done. Bravo... Kudos... And all synonyms that go with the aforementioned terms.

    And what I found even more interesting is that your computer setup (or the one you chose to go in this video) is exaclty the same as mine. Same computer/mouse/desktop color... even the exact same mouse pad!

    just one word "WoooW". How long did it take and how did you made the animations like the tree popping up?

    AND YES you should be proud to be this creative!

    Wow! Great writing. Great theme music. The design is the icing on the cake. It's not really cake without icing, is it?
  •  
  • Speldosa plus 3 years ago
    Very good but I would have prefered if you used another voice actor. In the end, the only thing that doesn't feel polished is the speaker voice. The dynamic range is just to big and as I already said, the voice actor himself (which I guess is you) isn't compelling enough. Otherwise, this was really great!

  • Jr.canest pro 3 years ago
    Thanks to you!.
    Thanks to all of you for your comments.
    "When I was younger... so much younger than today" i usually watch videos that inspired me, and make me smile or think... Now that I see that the video I made is making you to feel this things is just... AWESOME!
  • Colin Roache 3 years ago
    I'm not sure how much younger is much younger, but I'm only 17, and I'm franticly trying to sweep together a portfolio, because I have hundreds of hours of fx training, with no final products(because I can never be satisfied by less then perfect)...
    I'm sitting here at my studio waiting to start a shoot for a 25k scholarship and it looks like its not going to pull through. I hate to be somber, but my point is that this was the very thing I needed right now. Thank you!
  • Jr.canest pro 3 years ago
