    Beautiful. Sound FX might have made it more crisp IMHO. The crackle of the expanding branches, the wisp of the light waves, etc. Great job! After it was done, it left me deep in thought...meaning and emotion transcending the image and music. Great stuff!

    Intricately beautiful. Really makes me think about the seemingly "dead" landscape of a city in such a different way - how fluid everything was before it was solid. Great vision

    Alors au cas au t'avais pas compris , je résume et traduis et confirme !!! c'est totalement magnifique, sublime éblouissant, quand je vois ça ca donne envie d'arrêter, collègue, enfin , on joue pas dans la même cours !!
    C'est d'une qualité cinématographique rare , montage , photo , score , tout y est , putain , pardon , mais j'espere que t'a au moins 56 ans et autant d'experience, mais ça réconforte dans l'idée que les frenchies ont quelque chose que les autres n'ont pas et tu le prouve encore une fois , TU tue et retue encore retue , je t'interdis formellement d'aller regarder sur mon profil, c'est la honte à coté, mais j'ai toujours aimé jouer avec les fluides, et je remercie next limit tout les matin en me levant , allez, merci encore pour ces belles images , et pis ouais comme dises les autres, balance nous ça en HD , ca serai vraiment chouette !!:!
    Bonne Chance pour la Suite .
