    A really absorbing film (sorry!). It's so beautifully crafted, every shot has incredible depth, texture and detail, and brilliant sound design by Joe Tate. It's also a fantastic simple thought-provoking story. Inspirational work, thanks for sharing it David. Can't wait to see more of the work you create with Moth & Studio Aka.

    This animation is lovely, but rowing doesn't work like that. You have to row the boat facing backwards to use your whole body to move the pedals, the rowing sequence just seems awkward.

    Ha ha ha, great thanks.

  • Ryan Gillis 9 months ago
    Really really beautiful. Every once and while I'll find an animation that shocks me out of a rut I didn't even know I was in. I know I've got a long ways to go, but this animation just reminded me of how high the bar actually is, so thanks.
    How on earth did you create the weather for the storm sequence? The ocean with ripples and drizzling? It looks CG but there's an organic quality to it that's really confusing me.
    Keep up the great work!
