    where do you go to school? i'm impressed with the quality of work if you made this just as a student..i'm guessing prior experience?
  • Jurriën Boogert 3 years ago
    Thanks Mancel! I am 3rd year bachelor at the Willem the Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. I have no prior experience. I guess I am just working hard..

    good luck

    Very good!
    ....since I'm aching to learn more 3d, I'm really curious how that stream to tree transition works. I imagine it so painfully fiddly!!

  • rickflick 3 years ago
    Well done.
    (Moritake may have been a great poet, but shouldn't it be "blossom" rahter than "flower"? Or is it the translation?)
  • Jurriën Boogert 3 years ago
    it is the translation. It is done in different ways. besides, 'flower' is a more general concept than 'blossom'. The same with 'butterfly', rather than 'Nagerhole Mime' or 'Chilasa clytia'.

    Arjuno, I highly recommend that you delete the HAIKU text from the page up there under the video...

    I saw the video embedded on another site, so I couldn't read the text in advance, and it's a lot better to have the poem revealed in the video. Since you can read the text before seeing the video here...it pretty much spoils the element of surprise.
    Best,
    Max
  • Jurriën Boogert 3 years ago
    You're right Max, thanks.

    what a great piece of work arjuno kecil(your name sounds so indonesia?)!!!
  •  
  • max hodges 3 years ago
    Arjuno, this is very exquisite by the way. I thought the video was very touching. You have a very exceptionally refined sense of aesthetics.

    I run a small publishing company here in Japan, maybe we can commission you to do a piece. Drop me a mail sometime. max attmark whiterabbitpress dottocom

    simply beautiful, and different away from the most motion graphic I've seen...
    A great interpretation of Japanese culture in just about 50 seconds...nice music too.
