[brian7becker]

How long you took to finish this animation?? The boy character passes a great and strong spirit within him ,,, and that's the most difficult in animations,,, not just the thecnique itself... so... congratulations for that... I hope there more where all this came from... Keep creating strong characters,,, just like this one!!

[RosDosED]

Deine Farben sind schön , Dein Bild ist ruhig und ausgeglichen. deine Zeichnungen(art) gefallen mir, Du hast das TV Paint echt im Griff. Kamerafarten kannst Du ja nun auch in TVPaint erstellen.

Was mir nicht so gefällt: die Schwarzen Zwischenschritte.

Ich wünschte mir da mehr von Deiner kreatieven Seite als Übergang aus TV P. Es gibt doch so viel Freiraum.

ANsonsten Gratulation . Rose

[silnetofsn]

wonderful!

[snesokk1]

Let me tell you about the day I found out my dad was an eagle

Ich liebe es. Obwohl ich weinte.

[LughOnG]

Epic...

Pyeryem user BTW

[asazisc]

I loved this video. As someone who does volunteer work with birds of prey, I was kind of worried at first, thinking this was anti-eagle. But when I saw the end... just wow. What a beautiful film!

[ChronicPixels]

wow!

[SlimJoeKowalsky]

this is a great piece of artwork... thanks for that!

[mynewrisingsun]

[rodrigolima3d]

Wonderful!

[fakepivot]

[EvilFox302]

This is one of the most beautiful, amazing things I have seen on Youtube. Absolutely incredible job, David. This is wonderful.

[BrownCreature]

David I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be using this animated short in my English essay on Belonging.

Thank you for uploading such a beautiful and emotive piece of art.

[grantrobinson]

Magical

[Dragon168999]

Beautiful heart-moving film...any chance to release high-quality HD video version on YouTube?

[DoctorCuriosity]

Definitely has a good folkloric feel to it. Old Man Crow teaches a lot with his tricks.

[stoictales]

Amazing superb storytelling. I wonder if you would like to do a short interview about the meaning of your video??

[billmills]

Lovely story and beautifully told in engaging animation. Evocative musical background adds a lot to the effect. It was a sweet short pleasure to watch. Congrats on the great work. Thanks for posting and sharing with us.

[LupineOblivian]

This is one of the most touching videos I have watched in a very long time, and it reminds me of tales of lore that I've heard all through my life from different parts of the world.

The work put into this is just incredible.

//Gabriella.

[MrBracey100]

Wow that was great! The story, the art style, the music, all of it...perfect!

[batichico66]

i love it!



[juzbunny]

Really nice. Great feelgood piece.

[Dzuksi]

How long did it take you to do all this? It's great love the art and music!

[jinaragunlark]

Mind -> Blown

[invisibleal]

This made me smile, thanks. And I agree with people saying you need to submit this to some animation and film festivals, it deserves awards.

[dudeduck]

absolutely beautiful

[djrhienna]

i never leave comments for youtube, but i really hope you've submitted this to film festivals (specifically, sundance) for animated short. it's powerful, breathtaking, and perfect. 

[Ionizap]

A terrific piece of animation.

[ColdEnigma]

@ddubs33 , I am curious as to how you animated this. did you draw all the panels and stick them together or was this all made in some program?

[ddubs33]

@ColdEnigma - I used a program called TVPaint for the actual animation and Adobe AfterEffects for compositing and camera moves.

[lauwer]

wonderful

[petyonuggets]

yeah, this is incredible.

[Porly62]

I don't get it...

[audiotrax2000]

I LOVE this! Have to wonder, is it supposed to be a commentary on religion?

[t4stywh34t]

I don't think 18 people paid close enough attention. I can't imagine why they wouldn't like this.

[monsimand]

cool

[shitizens]

the music perfectly matches with the story. great job.

[kerrykrishna]

Expat, What a wonderful job you did on this. I truly hope you are proud of this terrific piece . Thanks so much..

[Oxenfrey]

Speechless

[KikeYopo]

Cool

[Cybercooties]

Mr. Wolter, you should share some of that talent with the class. Based on this film, it's obvious that you've got plenty to share.

Great job, man. That was Pixar-quality art direction, story, and, well... everything else!

[Kavalistik]

Its magic! Its so great and touching...

[Theruxpin]

What a great film. By the way, that lamb is adorable.

[JaddisonAppleseed]

Saw your film at the Producer's Show. IMO was better than what they chose as the top film. Congrats on Dreamworks.

[Snagglefratz]

That is without a doubt the coolest slinging video I've ever seen. It blew me away!

[googolplexbyte]

what even was that?

[leoni133]

muito bom

[randomartist01]

Gorgeous film! Tonally perfect and surprisingly moving. Quite an achievement!

[Haneer95]

Neat!

[simbha07]

I recognize that it's cliche' to point out how many dislikes there are on a submission - and that everyone's entitled to their opinion - but, i really don't understand how anyone can dislike this film.

[nikki2290]

this is such a wonderful film.. LOVED the concept, and executed beautifully.. I also loved the boards.. Seriously great work. Congrats and all the best! :)

[lishakara]

Oh, that was just freaking amazing

[DouglasZwick]

This is the coolest thing ever! And that includes all other things!

[domgproductions]

This is in my top 2 of the greatest short films I have ever seen. This is excellent. Made my day.

[hudsontia]

This It is a true animation. Very nice, man.

[Tyrantz184]

felted bad at first but it was good at the end :)

[Xavierusis]

OH MY GOD!!! I LOVE THIS!!!

[ScilentFox1220]

Very amazing man. I am a student at the Art Institute of San Diego working towards a degree in animation and I have to say your definitely a talented artist. Also your friend that did your music is so G. The animation and story was great, but the music just added to the narrative in such a great way. Im working on an animation of my own for my demo reel too, so hopefully it can stand toe to toe with yours. Keep it up man

[IndiaStarr]

wonderful and surprising!

I'm going to school for animation myself, and I hope to create something this wonderful myself in the near future. thanks for being inspiring ^_^

[NoSleepSheep]

reminds me of stuff from the late 90's.

takes a lot to give me that feeling.

[juanochoa]

amazing work, sir.

[menchimartini]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pollobionico]

so intense and touch me. thank 4 create this and tell us

[charlotteycheng]

The twists and turns of this story were a perfect counterpoint to the simply beautiful style of the art. Well done and congratulations!

Dreamworker.

[DancingJesus94]

All these fucking comments like "Beautiful" or "Amazing" or "It opened my eyes, and made me run outside and kiss a homeless person", you're just jumping on the bandwagon.

It's a crappy cartoon about some asshole who has a crazy bastard of a father who teaches him a lesson about life or something.

[HaoWenXiang]

@DancingJesus94 you obviously never had a father. Or a mother, by the looks of your language.

[MitraXyde]

@DancingJesus94 I pity you.

You have obviously never enjoyed or understood, if even watched a movie where the plot isn't clearly spelt out for you. It's a shame you can't figure out the meaning on your own.

The point of such films as Eyrie is that there's no true moral, you make one yourself.

[DancingJesus94]

@MitraXyde, well films where you take your own message from it tend to be designed by pretentious cunts, FOR pretentious cunts.

I bet you're the sort of person who reads Atlas Shrugged, and then equip your fake beard and sit in a circle with other people who have their heads up their asses.

I watch movies and read books to be entertained, not to be made sit there and think "Wow, what an amazing piece of film/literature, I think I'll go plant a fucking tree"

[incubusrok]

@DancingJesus94 This wins my award for dumbest thing I've read on the internet all day, and do you have any idea how much time I spent on 4chan?

[ScilentFox1220]

@DancingJesus94 Trolls like you piss me off. This is a 4 minute animated short, that took this guy months and months to create. You have no idea what actually goes into the production of anything like this. Not only that, giving the animation a story and message that is original and entertaining. And no matter how much you hate it, it is beautiful, and amazing. Stick to what you know, which is jack shit. You could never do what we do, or hope to create anything like this.

[peasantchick503]

Obviously, this guy is more than deserving of his new job. Congrats!

[dmohninger]

I was just going to say "beautiful," but it appears as if that's done already. I shall be back after consulting my thesaurus to tell you how touching this was.
