[bullseye93412]

Thanks for all your help

[bullseye93412]

If you look at my videos I think I have a pivot from a while back if you want to see it it's not that good and i can do better now it's "Pivot skateboarding"

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@bullseye93412 Thanks for inviting us to watch your videos. Everybody has to start somewhere. Just keep animating and one day you'll master Pivot, Maya and any other software you want to learn. As long as you keep pushing yourself to learn more, you will keep improving and one day we may be posting some of your student films to our channel as well!

[bullseye93412]

Neh who am I kidding...I don't stand a chance

[bullseye93412]

Oh and just saying...Do you have some sort of buisness / Deal with "aniBOOM"? Sorry if I don't understand I'm only 13 And my school sucks the 4 Things I can do is Draw , Game testing , Author or a cook but since VFS is going nowere and could be there for me I'm starting small animations with pivot and taking it from there.

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@bullseye93412 That is great that you have started with animation. Hope that you enjoy every minute of it. We don't have a deal with aniBoom, but many of our students have uploaded their own videos to that site over the years. Keep following your passion for animation and you will have a chance to join us in the future!

[bullseye93412]

Yes! I hope to be seeing you soon!

[bullseye93412]

But there's still a problem for me...I'm not really that old...Still in my teens infact but when I saw your title my eyes lit up to see there was an actual school for animation I hope your still up and running in the next 7-9 Years or I'll never see my dreams through...My future relys on you guys please don't let me down

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@bullseye93412 Don't worry, VFS is not going anywhere! We'll be seeing you in 7-9 years!

[bullseye93412]

Me too I'm a wannabe I live in england so I might as well not try but iv seen all the videos of the Vancouver school and there really amazing

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@bullseye93412 There are students from all over the world who come to VFS. Currently, just under half of our enrolled students are from outside of Canada. If you're interested in learning more we would recommend contacting an Admissions Advisor at vfs(dot)com/startnow. They would be able to help you with information regarding admissions or coming to Vancouver. Thanks!

[AbusProductions]

VancouverFilmSchool Inspires me.

It's my big dream to work with such things as multimedia-design, film editing, 3D stuff and so on.. too bad i live en denmark where there is almost no opportunities! ):

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@AbusProductions Happy that we could inspire you. There are students from all over the world who attend VFS. We hope that one day you will join us too.

[TakeBackTheWorld]

The title is pure genius.

[lebello]

i love how when his shadows gone he still has a shadow

[oonitnelav]

Noo poor shadow xD lol he turned the lights off

[biorosetta]

I think that your idea and the quality of your work are inspiring young people (such as mjbc99) to pursue thier dreams.

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@biorosetta Thanks for your kind words!

[XxDemonoid123xX]

what program is that

[just8pink8it]

realy great idea :D

[TinyChubbyBuddies]

the shadow has a shadow =/

[kirillkolomyts]

i would've made the person (ninja or whatever) the shadow of the shadow, or made them play bball for some time, so that the person would be satisfied with the shadow (a representation of yourself in some way)....

[justinduyn]

hahaha

[iExD]

so what was that button suppose to do? a dooomsday device for them?

[GrApHicK]

@iExD just switch the light off (shadowman has gone... R.I.P little funky-ninja-shadowman)

[iExD]

@GrApHicK thanks for the reply

[UnrealAnimation3D]

@iExD

turn everything into a shadow where the shadow wasnt a individual and couldnt move freely cus a shadow needs some degree of light

[gllr02]

it's call switch... it turns on and off the lights....

are you amish or something?

[iExD]

@gllr02 I know that's a switch. and no, i'm not amish. lol.

[gllr02]

lol, ok... i was kiddin xD

[13samoht]

N. G.

[Phaileen001]

well the figure is supposed to not have a shadow but it still has shadows under his feet etc. ._.

[goldijun]

good music

[jaw1002]

im making a transformer that i need to get noticed "in response"

[afrogalatico]

hahaha. its remind me peter pan.

awesome

[bitterkeel]

HiiiiiiiiiiiHaaaa this was awesome

[3DandSpecialEffects]

rig +5

[Ruffy294]

lol weiter so

[Pferdeschwanzz]

geil 5*

[DanLee3D]

ahahah veryy cool XD

[djindio555]

Cool! some people basketball in there sleep, kurtis blow loves basketball, tyrone shoelaces has a basketball jones.

:-D

[candyfunk]

Great work ...love it :O)

[dukedanuke]

the shadow on the floor was on purpose.. or else it would be flat against the background =p

[the0hugi]

genial (Y)

[JohnFinnigan1]

he only thing was that he still had a shadow after his shadow left. look under him.

[Intense62]

Thats wht i thought, you wouldnt think theyd miss something like that..

[dragons0088]

I think it was intentional. I dont know why they'd do it though. Its easier to forget to put a shadow down in animation then it is to forget to take one out... if that makes sense...

[valek27]

the shadow was cast form the floor not the character its the AOs and it isnt easier or harder to do any its the push of a button :p

[monimoni0147]

it's a global illumination shadow

[psijacko]

it's awesome

[Coonebaby]

That was a great video! I loved the attitude the shadow had.

[dr2peppa]

This is just as great as the others, well done :]

[robertc009]

nice

[GeForce8200]

Tin man''means the guy is ninja and will play basketball?''Could change that is not?

[natancdf]

Yes, i love this film...!!!

[k4y0tick1ller]

what did the button do:/

[TwilightHunter4P]

IT TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF DUDE

[Coratto]

I LOVE THIS ANIMATION,

[OrP100]

silly he got another shadow down in 1:30 O_O

[zaorine636]

no he didn't.. in reality, it is a shadow.. but it can also be colour bleed. i dunno. but animation doesn't call that shadow.. =)

[DaGroundCheese]

When the shadow's gone, and the real guy's still sitting in that lotusposition, there's still a shadow there, lol. :D

[larfuma13]

wannabee shadow-warrior!!!

[Kotze07]

boring

[rumpeltisky]

good animation but i don´t understand the argument of the history, what mean the ball? and wy it becomes a basketball ball? and first the ball apear to have an own personality but later not, i think is a good movie, good graphics but unfundamented.

[yitih]

I don't think it's supposed to make sense, it's just supposed to showcase what you'll be able to do if you study at VFS.

[EliteSteamStudios]

...it's his idea, he can do what he want's, you dont like it make your own..

[DaGroundCheese]

You meant me?

If you did, I LOVE THIS ANIMATION, just thought it was a little strange.

[rumpeltisky]

hey man it´s only mi personal interpretation of the movie what´s wrong whit you do you want to figth whit me?

[EliteSteamStudios]

nothing's wrong with me, im just saying that this student did their best, the ball can have a personality, then suddenly not, i'm sorry if i upset you.

[rumpeltisky]

sorry,i don´t steand the point of able the comments if you goin on figth whit the comments that you don´t like.

[devenarora88]

hey very nice movie............good animaton

[SLAVIKandDIMON]

Yea!

[xanderex2]

he still has a shadow after the shadow detaches and the shadow has his own shadow too.

[Alyaziah]

the dark killed my shadow..excellent idea and very nice animation Hicham.. :)

[PincPanda]

good one ;P

[0maskot0]

i dont know where students takin ideas but its really cool :P

[BMGguy]

Very Nice :D

[jaaxxor]

lol nice animation

[skaplan1995]

do Vancouver film school students make their own music for the videos?

[VancouverFilmSchool]

Occasionally. They often collaborate with students in our Sound Design program, or they work with a music-making friend, etc.

[skaplan1995]

thanks!

[vseslav1]

Did the shadow die?

[stokmarknes]

I would not say ´die´, but dissapeared

[Hotmanex01]

nice

[colbzta]

lol ninja turtle

[magicemail]

I love the India touch to it.

[2boss4u]

yeah o.o

[onesh11111]

nice 1 funny

[SingleWhip2]

This was kinda cool, only have three points of major critique-

1)Despite that the alien ninja's shadow ran away, there was still a small diffused shadow (probably left over from GI)

2)The lack any mouth expression bothers me, a dimension of a sense of personality is lost when the character's facial expressions aren't fully realized.

3)No three dimensional setting (probably the only good reason to keep a small diffused shadow otherwise it could be assumed the envirnment was completely 2D.)

[Bobzeaux]

At least the head band working as his eyebrows was a good touch. :P

[TianSan]

Wall-E didn't have a mouth either, but we could tell what what he was trying to say a lot of the times through body language, and tones.

[Munchy365]

wall-e pwns.

[barbaid]

that was awesome!

lol funny

[robbkatherine]

why was the dude green?

[freetobeloveable]

he's an alien that s why he's green?

[AnimeFreak8770742]

alien NINJA lol

[Espiriteus]

He wasn't feeling to hot on the day of filming. It was food poisoning from what I heard.

[robbkatherine]

lol, he looks like a ninja turtle. or a ninja frog.

[Sakura2387]

a turtle .. like ninja turtles

[Bobzeaux]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Gecko. *lol*

[carlitoswey2008]

who wants a shadow anyway..wats it good for? it only gives u away wen ur tryin to hide or sumthin

[garycalgary]

some i like

this one i did not

but still creative

[masicklazik]

lol

[freddo212]

lol, the shadow has a shadow..

[mancyn10]

i liked it

[bortas2006]

He clicked on the light switch. Shadow gone hahahahaha! Nice one.

[Sweet99Flavors]

[lamx12345]

[cereny12]

i like it.

if that means something.

[hockey321smash]

awsome.i agree with beach bum.

[arvin152002]

teenage mutant ninja turtle?? nce vid

[Kenji000]

Pretty poor. Sure it is Ninja like, but it does not have the depth other stories by VFS do

[ArxRemix]

Do it better then... :P

[stokmarknes]

you're a pin-pricking stuck-up, arent you?;)

[raeeees]

Hey i agree with kenji000, it's clever has a great consept, is animated perfectly, but it's lacking in something. It seems a little un-VFS like...

[mynameisnotmaddie]

weirdish, but clever

[beachbumx22]

so awesome i wish i could play basketball with my shadow. that would awesomely awesome

[1nkBlot]

His shadow got bored, went to play, and wouldn't come back, so out went the lights. No more shadow.

[thedeathwar]

did he off it?

[penpolmedia]

Interesting stuff! We did some crazy experimentation with a Professor Loonicraz using some kind of shrinking potion she invented. It was amazing! It really worked! Check it out -- 'Mad Science' by Penpolmedia.

[niggyproductions]

Man that was cool very smart idea... Ahh man i really wanna go to Vancouver film school.

[bubblebriggs]

i was gonna say that doussis

[LeftosDoussis]

very clever scenario

[myecotpia]

I like how he looks at the audience, that's pretty cool!

[farvision]

Totally zen. His mind runs away. In the end,

he shuts it off. Excellent depiction!

[Clovergone]

thats one of the better shorts ive seen from vfs so far......nice

[djayjonnyyoung]

skinny tmnt impersonator =P

[JRage117]

VFS does make some nice stuff.

[technotrin]

Tight shit

[Littlellama0609]

[garter10895]

[wtfgirlz]

kinda creepy but really awesome!!!!! good work dude/dudes

[TSHh8r]

[gijis02]

LOL! Wow... very funny. Very well done. ^.^

[yumiyoko1678]

lmao omg that was soooo cool!!! =P awesome job!!

[aoriodoragon]

I hate everything that comes out of VFS.

[Squallleonheartfan]

if your hate it why commenting on it?

[battleaxe12]

if you hate everything that comes out of VFS then why were you watching this one also? also apparently you are the only one who doesn't like VFS videos

[luisthegrouch]

its... hmmm very odd

[mylastresort21]

ummmm... was that supposed to be funny?

[battleaxe12]

when god made you he was like ummmm... was he supposed to have a sense of humor?

[mylastresort21]

i just dont see how this would be funny

[battleaxe12]

thats fine, some people think differently about what is funny. I just felt like saying something funny.

[greeneyeseverus]

I enjoyed this, and it kind of brought me back to my ninja turtle filled childhood. I assume they were one of your inspirations?

[NMS2626]

omg guyz his shadow was bored found a ball and started playin the person found his shadow it didnt wanna go back to a dull life of meditating then a light switch came and the person flipped it making it swallow the shadow whole AKA making it dissapear because the shadow wouldnt come back that was his punishment

[battleaxe12]

thanks for explaining the movie for me I would have never been able to figure it out on my own.

[paledragon64]

Is he a frog or what?

[papastiffy]

itd be me neither actually. haha

[northweezie1994]

me too

[monkeylord6]

i dont get it....

[JerinWoW]

I hope you're kidding...

[vibe985]

odd

[gaararoxdadesert]

awe I thought he was going to verse him at a game of basketball, turning off the lights was *sniff* mean. Great animate!

[donnie28064212]

very cool... nice work.. respect

[TehMoOhor]

very awesome dude!

respect to Hischam Zouorob

[millionbucks101]

What program do u use for this cause i wanna learn!!

[xxdonatelloxx]

way to read the description

[bloorad1322]

flower buddy

[baardfa]

So this guy got two shadows, eh?

[BORISruler]

yea he had showdows after the shodow left@!

[alivewiththegloryof]

neat!

[varekai666]

wow!! very very cool!

[fujji]

hell yea man i wanna see more stuff like this from you

[conxmeo]

ahahah i thought that was pretyy funny XD

[ledodmoshe]

Wow, really good! Btw, Is there any connection to Peter Pen (The shadow thing)...?

[bam55599]

awsome!

[IMCOnAir]

this symbolic double talking is great. The unloyal shadow, the sinner stealing away and brought under control by the "consciousness". Great, really. Very spiritual. That way to start with "OM - YOGA" and Sitar-Tabla sound is really deep going. Keep such level, man. Enough waste is coming out of Hollywood factory. Go on ! - What's coming next ?

[Karnardo]

cmon STFU

[HomieInBlack]

yea karnardo STFU!

[asdfghjkl137]

i dont get the light thing. Wouldnt that benefit the shadow.

[baenghaa]

Don't think so, since there's not light.. how could there be a shadow?

[brockw444]

why on earth does he have shadows when his thing has left him?

[BORISruler]

yea he had showdows after the shodow left@!

[bensley56]

heh cool...

[redhawkfreak]

u guyz at Vancouver Film School r brilliant!
