That's some really astonishing art-direction. I love the swimming pool scene, and the city landscape in the TV scene. Brilliant....

the film is beautiful - but there is no story.. It's an interesting perspective, but the character is not very original, and there is no change or turning points.. I only write this cause I think you're talented and you shoud have amazing stories to go with your amazing animation.
Gabriel Galdino 1 month ago

I agree with you.
Will Bryan 1 month ago

So do I. I love the atmosphere and art direction, but I would love even more to see the same sensibilities applied to a more dynamic story. Here, I think the gorgeous animation and mood exceed the story.

the story is that she is a good wife because she is a sacrificing one. She's keeping all the anger and sad emotions inside of her to keep the family alive.

Really beautiful, and lovely pacing. What typeface are you using, Futura?
W. Scott Forbes 1 month ago

Thank you very much, Miles.
Yes, you are correct, various weights of Futura.
Jason Sondhi 1 month ago

Very lovely. Wouldn't have minded more connection to the character, fewer wide shots. Yet I only complain because of how engrossing the piece was visually and tonally.

Nelson Zagalo 1 month ago

Absolutely great film, love the visual palette, and the atmosphere it develops with the music, plus the progression and the narrative subtleties. Amazing good work.

DrLeiGage 1 month ago

Kinda makes you think if she did this because of something at home or what. In any case. Very good work.
Kyle Hance 1 month ago

I don't know if it was intentional, but I love the implication that she not only cheated on her husband, but her family as a whole. Should make one think.

sogni birchofiani 1 month ago

I love the colors, but I don't understand what happened to the wife..(?)
*farblosbunt* 1 month ago

Do you mean the ending or the whole story?

She had sex with another man, in a motel.
After that she returns home and makes the dinner that was already prepared in the beginning and everything looks like a normal day.
Maybe she regrets it on her way back home(the look in her eyes)
The red-light might also be a symbol of "you have done wrong"
sogni birchofiani 1 month ago

Oh! Ok. I thought she had sex with her husband. Now it's clear! :D
