    Fantastic work Dan, you've really created something awesome here. The mix of stop-motion claymation, 2D animation in the posters, and what looks like composited shadows (?) is all done very professionally. I am also really impressed by the believable emotions of each character, it was totally compelling.

    absolutely A-W-E-S-O-M-E story! the long production time (and the days without any sun, I guess) was really worth it!
    thanks for uploading it here.

    Thanks everyone for your comments! They mean a lot to me, so thank you.

    I'm very grateful Vimeo exists. So much easier to share work when you're not mailing out VHS tapes...

    And Blake, thank you for making it a staff pick! Wow!

    Touching! Amazing work, congratulations. I think this should be played at United Nations or G8 meetings... perhaps we'd have a better world then.

    Incredibly powerful imagery with the innocence of characters. I've not felt this emotional about a wartime post apocalyptic animation since When the Wind Blows.

    Awsome! When in the Navy, about 1968 we went to Nagasaki, I went to the museum and saw actual sections of fence with shadows on them, freaked me out standing there with a navy uniform on.
