  • I agree with all the above and thank you for honoring the bison in your work!
    The last free-roaming and pure buffalo are still not truly FREE and neither are we, until we have broken from the chains of apathy for the earth in which we sprung.

  •  
  • Matt 1 year ago
    OUTSTANDING. It really is the most beautiful speech ever written...to me, your work makes it that much more compelling...thank you. It's always so ironic to here him say "the world will little remember...." if he only knew
  •  
  • Fantastic. A really good iconic synthesis
  •  
  • Matt Cook 1 year ago
    Really well done. Kinetic movement flows well and the transitions are smooth and thematically linked well.

    My critique would be to add an underlying music bed, and I think the last frame with the flag, should end larger in the frame.

    Good job though!

  • c. patrick sotz 1 year ago
    f*ing profound... THIS should have been my history textbook in grade-school.

    I love history and I know these words, but this speech never seemed as important, relevant, or beautiful as it now resonates.

    ol' Abe is waiting with a big high-five for you in heaven.
    great job.
