    I'm trying to think of some worthy adjectives to describe how amazing I feel this film is, but I think that would take longer than it did to render this masterpiece.

    Thank you for this film.

    The project took 3 years preproduction included.
    But the actual film was done in a year and a half with 5 people constantly working on the film. So I think a year and a half for a 14min short film is not slow but also not too fast :) Animation needs a lot of time.

    I'm amazed that only one guy animated this whole thing... Impressive!
  •  
  • Goro Fujita plus 1 year ago
    Thanks everyone for the flattering comments!

    where did you get the information that it was animated by one guy. It was two main animators. Felix and Me and then we had 4 additional animators Heiko, Stephan, Lucas and Tobias who helped us out with the insects and the deer shots.
  • Guz 1 year ago
    Hi Goro, I just saw one name on the credits below the video at the time: Felix Graf.. But now I see that you were the supervising animator, sorry.

    Congrats you both for the excellent acting you put on those characters, dude.

    I'm still working out all the underlying themes of this short film in my head. Probably will be thinking about it for a few days... You know you've made something great when you have this affect on people.

    Creative. Beautiful. and a lot of work! Probably won't watch it again because it was a tad creepy. But my mind will grind over the ideas behind this.

    So your short has made an impact on me XD

    not crazy about the cinematography and animation, the camera movement is especially cgish and disturbing, but the design, texturing, shading, and rendering are cute and the story is sort of interesting.

    Wow. It reaches very far and that is wonderful. Thank you for that. Great piece of art with some genuine feeling. Curious how you secured such great voice talent. Keep it up and make another. Great to see such an aspirational reach in something like this.
