@klewis9995 how do you know they had no hearts? maybe they just didnt agree of the end
the only reason im defndeing is because this vidoe wasnt made to have any bad coments even if its not about the vid unless of course they really just didnt like it but how wld we know?
Thank you for sharing this beatiful video, the video and music are so peaceful, seeing a wheelchair bounded child freed from his confinement is so emotional. My son Daniel has CP and is in a wheelchair also. He often look out the window, since he had to be homeschool. No one @his public school wanted him. I think this must be in every severely physically intellectually disabled child dream; to be able to do thing without limitation and judgments! .
If I were on the NiGHTS staff, I'd make you an honorary member. You captured the spirit of the game perfectly to tell your own story, which a beautiful work in itself. Two thumbs up and a great big Paraloop !
@melimsah yes, this was written especially for this animation as part of a joint school project where students in animation where paired up with students in composing.
I don't understand this at all, really. Did he die? If so, did he think it was worth it to have a taste of freedom beyond what others n/ever have, and thus he died happy? I was expecting the last scene to show him awakening in his wheelchair, wondering if it had all been a dream, but this did not happen. Was the jester evil and killed him on purpose? Many more questions than answers, but beautiful and touching nonetheless. Beautiful job, and awards well-deserved. Kudos to you. You will go far.
"Everyone has his own feelings and thoughts on this story and that's how it should be. What I try to create with this film is leave an opening for everyone's interpretation. There is as much beauty in life as there can be in death as they both define and redefine each other, especially now in times of artificial life support. With stories we can explore any boundaries and raise questions, make people aware of a numerous things. This is just that, a story, with some thoughts."
@2hotinaz thank you. There were several versions of the storyboard, at first the jester was evil. In the final version he became the boys imagination, hopes and dreams personified that in the end slipped through his fingers. What exactly happened, I like to leave to everyones own imagination, as I keep hearing very different interpretations and I love to see how everyone builds out their own story with it.
@2hotinaz I thought the same thing: "He died!?". I didn't think that the jester was evil but I had that feeling that as soon as the boy changed into light he had died. At least it seemed to be a painless death. Although I agree with you, the animation and music was wonderful. ^_^
@Ealynn I assumed it was a young boy, looks like one too, since from an artistic view point his eyes are masculine and have a hard edge were a girls would have a more sleek look to them (in my opinion).
I like the Jester he tried so hard to hang on to the boy at the end ... he tried :)
I -loved- this ending. The boy simply didnt cry and gripe about losing his friend and having ot go back, he apperciated the time that he got away from his wheelchair. This was super.
A masterpiece beyond all I could ever do in my lifetime. I would have never been able to animate such beautiful animation. 5 stars, favorited, subscribed.
It can be done as easily with a penil, paper and a photocamera. But you can also use simple software and work digitally, with something like photoshop or flash.
seriously though. ive actually come up with an idea for a whole series i could put up on aniboom. but, well, my only problem is i haven't the slightest clue how. not to mention i wouldn't even know what programs to use. and even if i did, i can't draw. i just have an idea. but all i've been thinking about for the past few weeks is how badly i want to share them with someone. believe me, i've tried, but nobody here is as interested as i am. it really sucks. i'm starting to think there's no hope.
ReAlLy? ^___^ I would like to know your ideas, and I'm sure some artists can give you a hand. (Well come on, you're not the blur in the corner of everyones' eye. :) ) I even thought of a little bit myself... n_n... Mwa ha, ha.
Yes, yes I do in a matter of fact. It's very rare to see stories or plots about court jesters, especially with no magic in them... yes. Passionate stories and themes with feelings are also quite scarce. :/ I am curious to see what you have in store for this character. And don't worry if you have limited resources, all I use is pencil, paper and tons of eraser. xD _ ;)
thanks for sharing this animation, it touches the essence of our humanity, giving , sharing , faith , hope, love ,...... man will eventually find peace & happiness, if not of this earth, but beyond the window of life
I used photoshop for the background and some of the animation, flash also and mostly Mirage to animate in (which is now known as TVpaint) and I used after effects for the composition, motionblur and the glow effect. Thanks :)
It was a little cruel.... but his wish may have become true.... we don't know what expects us in the afterlife..... or beyond
by the way, this is a most awesome video... made me remember so many things, made me feel sad, but in the end, none of us must give up hope ever... thanks a lot!!!
I first saw this video back when you released it on youtube and again when I saw the NiGHTS website...
One thing led to another and I once again rediscovered this video tonight...
Let it be known that this video makes me cry every time I watch it. And it is one of my biggest inspirations as an artist, along with the NiGHTS games...
You have done good for me and I really thought you should know. I look forward to any more NiGHTS animations you ever intend to do in the future... ;~;
Geweldig filmpje, kort maar krachtig ondanks de simpele animatie (niet dat dat negatief is). Vooral die bekende val-scène doet mij denken aan Spirited Away, wat ik ook een briljante film vond. :P
Bedankt, hij is al weer uit 2006 hoor, dus die simpele animatie is helemaal waar :) je leert veel bij in de tussentijd. En het is altijd een compliment om met Studio Ghibli vergeleken te worden.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but what was it that you were trying to convey through this video? The animation is absolutely gorgeous, but to me the story came across as being more morbid than inspiring. The way that youve painted the boys death makes it seem that his demise is more meaningful and beautiful than his life. I do not think that death is something to be afraid of, but I dont believe that it is right to so readily ignore the beauty and importance of life.
No, you're not. Everyone has his own feelings and thoughts on this story and that's how it should be. What I try to create with this film is leave an opening for everyone's interpretation. There is as much beauty in life as there can be in death as they both define and redefine each other, especially now in times of artificial life support. With stories we can explore any boundaries and raise questions, make people aware of a numerous things. This is just that, a story, with some thoughts.
Thank you. For my next film we will work together, but it's on hold for the moment as I need to finish a paid animation job first. ^_^ good luck with your film.
wow this is such a beautiful and iconic animation. It has wonderful style and brilliant animation. The soundtrack is one of the best animated soundtracks I've herd in a long time. This is a masterpiece in animation, and very inspiring to me as i am just starting my own longer animation. Thank you for sharing this, and I wish you luck in all you future works.
P.S. you and your friend should keep working together. :)
Prachtige, ontroerende animatie. Ook al word ik er van beschuldigt gewoont te snel geëmotioneerd te raken, moest ik hierbij toch een traantje wegpinken.
You know... I would love to see the princess' story- I mean, a princess and a court jester. Very traditional stuff you know. ^_^. Now that would be great... but how would the story go? Mmmmm *soaking up story possibilities* :D'
^_^ nice to see you pondering these possibilities. Pan could indeed reappear, Jonathan, I'm not sure about. I would like to do something with the concept again some day.
Yes, it would be pretty neat if Pan went to different people each time. I mean, it would probably work best that way (in my opinion). But still, there's always an opertunity to think of something different for different kids. And yes, it would be really neat if you brought him back. :) (Suddenly thought of something! :0 )
This was amazing. It reminded me of so many hopefully things that you believe as a child. You know they can't be real, but it doesn't stop you from wanting to believe.
Excellent work. I hope to see your work someday as a professional :)
Thank you, KojiTsunami. I think that it is as beautiful as it is, because it leaves a lot to the viewers interpretation and imagination. It makes a viewer part of the magic that is storytelling and pulls you in even deeper than a literal, straight forward story could hope to do.
Bedankt ^_^ De programma's zijn Mirage, Photoshop, flash en aftereffects. De meeste animatie is in Mirage gebeurd, sommige stukjes in photoshop en flash, achtergronden in photoshop en effecten zoals het gloeien van de lijnen en bewegende achtergronden deels in mirage en deels in after effects.
I hang around at Aniway under the nickname "Floofeh" ^^'
After ordering Bedtime stories I felt like browsing for art from OM members, and I stumbled on your youtube account (yes, people click the link in your signature ^^)
u r so amazing i cant even count how many times I've watched this!!
this is the most touching animation I've ever seen,so keep up the good work and could u please make more vids like this cause ppl really love ur work!!!!!!
I've seen this video so many times, and I still can't describe how amazing it is. Your animation style is very pure and gorgeous. I was really disappointed with the lack of good holiday specials on TV this year, and then I found this cartoon and it totally made my Christmas. Thank you. I'm awestruck by the way that you portray NiGHTS and I think Sega could learn a thing or two from you. I'm much happier with this ending by the way, as the other scythe scared me. Tell Joram to get his site up.
[Sorry for the double reply ^_^;] Also I was wondering if there was any influence by Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced in this video too, as watching this video makes me want to play that game and NiGHTS at the same time. If you haven't played it, then you should and you might see what I mean.
I'll go see then ^_^ I've always been a Sega girl, so I never had any other consoles until I recently was forced to buy a Wii in order to play NiGHTS journey of dreams *sheepish grin*
Perhaps you can contact Joram to get a copy of the music? That would help you play ;)
Oh, and the MUSIC!! Did you write/perform it yourself? It's what truly turns this film into a story and cements the ethos of the theme. The music alone is tearjerking. Combined with the story? Heartwrenching.
I noticed the similarities between Pan and NiGHTS. Did you draw inspiration from the character and games? I think the world of NiGHTS is certainly worth exploring and animating. Regardless, this piece is moving and beautifully animated. Well done!
Oh niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! All these clown ideas are already being taken over by people who already knows what they're doing! T_T" That bites 4 me but I'm very proud of the people who actually gets things done!_! It would probably take me 10 years to just do pittily squat!......... This movie's sooo cute! <3
Don't let that stop you to work on your dream! Everyone has their own story to tell and not one of them is the same. Sure, clowns can be used very well in certain story telling, but you can still add your own voice to it ;) it'll make it sound even better.
Agreed...it's akin to giving up 'cuz the Simpsons already did it. Tho, all told, virtually EVERY story has been told and retold since we began telling stories. Question is: How can you make YOUR retelling your own? :)
Beautiful cartoon and story!!

It's so beautiful. Everytime that I listen, it reminds me of when I first encountered NiGHTS

It's so beautiful.
I saw it two times so far and it made me cry both times.
I love the NiGHTS reference as well, I still wonder how such heartwarming game is still in the shadows.

This was amazing. It reminded me of so many hopefully things that you believe as a child. You know they can't be real, but it doesn't stop you from wanting to believe.
Excellent work. I hope to see your work someday as a professional :)

You have many animations, but none come even close to being as beautiful as "Beyond the Window".
I don't even know exactly what's happening and I love it.
KojiTsunami 3 years ago
Thank you, KojiTsunami. I think that it is as beautiful as it is, because it leaves a lot to the viewers interpretation and imagination. It makes a viewer part of the magic that is storytelling and pulls you in even deeper than a literal, straight forward story could hope to do.

I'd have to say this is one of my favorite short films I've ever seen.
The way the characters simply interact without a word being said and the flowing of the music just hits you.
Great work.

Echt prachtig, great job.
Mag ik vragen wat voor programma je gebruikt voor animatie ?
SMRRR 3 years ago
Bedankt ^_^ De programma's zijn Mirage, Photoshop, flash en aftereffects. De meeste animatie is in Mirage gebeurd, sommige stukjes in photoshop en flash, achtergronden in photoshop en effecten zoals het gloeien van de lijnen en bewegende achtergronden deels in mirage en deels in after effects.

I've seen this video so many times, and I still can't describe how amazing it is. Your animation style is very pure and gorgeous. I was really disappointed with the lack of good holiday specials on TV this year, and then I found this cartoon and it totally made my Christmas. Thank you. I'm awestruck by the way that you portray NiGHTS and I think Sega could learn a thing or two from you. I'm much happier with this ending by the way, as the other scythe scared me. Tell Joram to get his site up.
dark77778 4 years ago
I will do so ;) he will also be scoring my graduation movie, so look out for that one too in september ^_^
Ealynn 4 years ago
Fantastic, I can't wait! *has, admittedly now tried to play Voorbij het Venster on the piano by ear...or at least the part at 2:35*
dark77778 3 years ago
[Sorry for the double reply ^_^;] Also I was wondering if there was any influence by Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced in this video too, as watching this video makes me want to play that game and NiGHTS at the same time. If you haven't played it, then you should and you might see what I mean.
dark77778 3 years ago
I'll go see then ^_^ I've always been a Sega girl, so I never had any other consoles until I recently was forced to buy a Wii in order to play NiGHTS journey of dreams *sheepish grin*
Perhaps you can contact Joram to get a copy of the music? That would help you play ;)
Ealynn 3 years ago
Oh, and the MUSIC!! Did you write/perform it yourself? It's what truly turns this film into a story and cements the ethos of the theme. The music alone is tearjerking. Combined with the story? Heartwrenching.

D'OH! That's what I get for commenting before reading the About this Video section. :( Answers all my questions. Sorry!
ColAbernathy 4 years ago
I noticed the similarities between Pan and NiGHTS. Did you draw inspiration from the character and games? I think the world of NiGHTS is certainly worth exploring and animating. Regardless, this piece is moving and beautifully animated. Well done!
ColAbernathy 4 years ago
Oh niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice! All these clown ideas are already being taken over by people who already knows what they're doing! T_T" That bites 4 me but I'm very proud of the people who actually gets things done!_! It would probably take me 10 years to just do pittily squat!......... This movie's sooo cute! <3
chibbimetro 4 years ago
Don't let that stop you to work on your dream! Everyone has their own story to tell and not one of them is the same. Sure, clowns can be used very well in certain story telling, but you can still add your own voice to it ;) it'll make it sound even better.
Ealynn 4 years ago
Agreed...it's akin to giving up 'cuz the Simpsons already did it. Tho, all told, virtually EVERY story has been told and retold since we began telling stories. Question is: How can you make YOUR retelling your own? :)
