This one's definately my favorite. It was just so thought provoking and beautiful. I have an idea what it's trying to say... maybe like losing sight of things as we try to reach our goals and aspirations. Just a swing at it.

It sucks writing with a Wii.

[yeahsonebraska]

okay, ive watched about 20 videos which were all really lame and cliche

but this one is fantastic, so good on you for avoiding the train tracks and rivers and homeless people

I loved this video.

Did you by any chance have the seeds the landed on different parts of the soil develop differently on purpose?

Maybe I'm analyzing it too much, but I loved it anyways.

[kaebobee]

I did... I was playing with the idea that little things can cause big effects and vastly change how things turn out, though they all started out from the same place and looked the same.

Thanks :)

[laserpilot]

nice animation..what software/techniques did you use?

[kaebobee]

Thanks :) I just use what came with my computer, Windows Movie Maker. It's basic, but it gets the job done and I'm learning how to make up for its limits the more I play with it.

For my technique, I paint the characters, backgrounds and objects first, cut them up and scan them. I arrange the pieces into the scene I want, frame by frame, making more drawings as needed, and save the images. I export them over to WMM to check I have the timing right, and go back and change any frames if needed.
