Very well executed. It's a nice story and you explained it very well.
Maciej Sarna 7 months ago

Ok, just for improvement: in the 33rd second the boy looks towards the camera, with his head to his left. Than there comes a cut and we see him from another camera angle, but instantaneously he's head is back to the "upright" position. This is a simple montage mistake. I don't know if You got my point...

That was really AMAZING!! I love how the visual style looks like toon shader but has something more that makes the skin looks like wooden. Music and sound effects was perfect and last but not least animation was superb!!! Watched it twice and i'll definitely share ; ) best of luck to all of you

Joaquin Braga - ANIMAC 7 months ago

Amazing job!,... I looked without sound, because I don´t have speakers here, and I can tell you, the way you told the story it´s perfect. Great moves, like the look and feel, something diferent.
Mike O'Neal 7 months ago

Amazing storytelling! No words, no facial expressions, and yet so sensitive and emotional. Nice work.
Bongo Cajon 7 months ago

What a great job! I was spellbound. It made me imagine all the emotions on their faces. The sounds were just wonderful too. Well thought out and executed.
Caio Bucaretchi 7 months ago

Wow, great story, and i loved the way it was told. The lack of a facial expression was compensated by body language, really well thought and great style of animation.

Akima 7 months ago

I found myself mentally adding the missing faces to each scene. Really enjoyed watching that. I especially liked the scene when he snatched the toy bike away from the older guy and then gestured it towards the girl. Lots of great animation. Love the ending too with the little girl that showed up.

Julia e Sá 7 months ago

impressive work...
their body language was so beautifully done, that we don't even miss the facial expressions...
I think it's supposed to be a sketch line effect, but the characters have some kind of wooden texture...
really like it!
