Altitude Adjustment

[lukethegreat101]

i didnt cry

[Zombieman132]

Aaaw :D

[buddyolepal]

Amazing work, i couldn't place the piano music towards the end but its from another movie, anyone know? Also i feel leaving the film "as is" will serve the emotion in the animation the best, really nice work!

[Haolehero]

thats amazing



[catsarethekewlest]

Laptops don't break that easily...

[PrincessFitzherbert2]

BTW, don't finish it. The unfinished aspect of the video leaves the beautifully raw emotion there. I love it.

[PrincessFitzherbert2]

OMG Freaking bawling my freaking eyes out! This is AMAZING!!!

[akshayde]

i think the unfinished aspect of this really kept the focus on the animation and emotion and story.. usually i find animation to be very colorful and unrelatable. this is brilliant.. man I wish i could do something like that.. maybe then I wouldnt hate animation (im studying it) so much.

[101janos]

Excellent! I wish you the best of luck with your animation and hope you work for your dream animation company because this is really good!

[wukongzzz]

can u by any chance finish it? this is really beautiful work. it is great as a pencil test though.

[Coquerel]

So sweet. My eyes are wet :B

[animehobo]

I realize animation is a long and arduous process, but I believe it would be worth finishing all the animation in this film.

[xXOtakuNinjaGirlXx]

awww

[howzlova]

great work! are you going to "finish" it? i like the sensitive use of newman's music, perfectly fits there! i study animation too, watch my channel if you want to see my work. keep up the great work! greetings from czech republic.

[jra1633127]

love the story and animation, great job.

[DavDamian21]

this is very touching good job :')

[percussionchica101]

Music?

[snoopthagreat]

@percussionchica101 sounds like the song from Lil Nemo

[nmGISfan]

18 people would have ripped the puppet... :(

[jdog106]

You wouldn't happened to be related to Alex Butera now would ya?

[PencilO11]

this is what i want to do sooo badley (animation), and watching this has really inspired me!!!

[MsRazzburry17]

how can sum people DIS like this video?!?!?

[dreamelatte]

awww, This was touching! amazing job

[rosepetal29]

Get a job at pixar. You are THE person to work there. I wont be surprised if i see you on TV =)

[xfujikix]

[bhabooshka]

[THABRIMS]

[THABRIMS]

this is cool

[CandesamoTheGreat]

D'aawwww!  ;_;

[Streusel95]

Thats awesome :)

[sharicemitchum]

really cute i love it :)

[nicklepa24]

did you like CalArts? I'm thinking of applying but I hear it's not your normal college, so i can't ask any one about it beside the people that go.

[zlxq3000]

The work lost by the destruction of that laptop cost the man's company millions. After being demoted to that guy that passes out the mail, he was fired in front of his entire office. His family, unable to bear the loss of the patriarch's six-figure salary, was forced onto the streets until his wife finally divorced him for a doctor, taking their two children with her.

It really is a good piece of animation. Very cute, and well-done. I like the whole idea of empathy in this; it works really well

[7tvrocks7]

awwww, that was so sweet!!

[JannzkyStudio]

awesome. When it's finshed it will be even better =3

and i love the kids eyes xD

[nanadepuchodana]

The 18 people who didn't like this are douche bags.

[dragonsrkool]

This is wonderful you told such a good story in a short time and you really showed emotions well.

[amigaknight]

wonderful! :'-)

[USAFilms1]

A well crafted piece of animation and story colliding together as one. This is truely one of the best short films I have ever seen. I think you should consider a job at Pixar.

[Spockpaperscissors]

made me cry...so good :)

[BassoonandOcarina]

magnificent story

[tatsunoko70]

Really nice and story is very interesting.

[vulkein]

noice!

[lukthere2]

great story dude!!

[cottoncactus]

this is so amazing!! gosh your style is so amazing. don't go to pixar... your 2d stuff is so amazing and i feel like all the good artists go to pixar and no one makes good 2d cartoons anymore!! amazing work, i hope i can be as good as this someday!!

[ThePixelReport]

I really love this short film!!

[nddlj]

is the ending music from Finding Nemo or something??

[rapnrocknroll]

beautiful :-)

[hitmanimation]

wow that some talent youve got there absouletly mesmerising fantastic well done.did you check out my latest animation pulp fiction take a look many thanx hitmanimation

[ThatGlatorian1]

alex butera

[DruidAnthony]

Right on!

I like art :D

[ItsUrFavoriteGuy]

This is so good its unbelievable. I'm sure you'l go far (if you haven't already). Now that Disney's trying to get 2D animation back in the game, you should get in on that.

[yeknom5g]

Great animation :D

[VerySourLemon]

Very nice cartoon.

[makingtheboy]

This is unreal! You'll be working for PIXAR in no time :D

[Nudlaufguss]

you got some great animating skills! i'm missing some inbetweens here though... but anyways, great work!

[PTBass]

Ahhhh man, really good and touching. Made me smile on the inside. Be proud of yourself.

Best of lucks to you.

[acinom18]

Thats really Sweet :)

[masonnf1]

that was 100% homo.....

sapien. that's right, human. a triumph of human nature.

[shmutzman]

This is so awesome! :D It's way better than I expected. I thought it was gonna be a story of some guy who cracked from pressure and took it out on the nearest innocents, but this film actually had a good story and the guy learned a little life lesson.

[MsCrazyTacoBitch]

that was so cutee!!

[olive1913]

very well made, and i was really thinking about the moral of the video, keep on that good stuff :)

[Snarfbargler]

Nice one!

[albee1000]

Excellent work!

[kungfu05]

This made me cry.

[JDeanFilm]

very well done, I really enjoyed the expressions.

[wraithvsx]

coll stuff man, can i get you to look at my reel and give me some feedback, i could use the help. thanks

[StarC0mmander]

Very well done.

[AwesomeGirl86]

Very nice & touching too. :)

[mysticanimation22]

Awesome work! story is great.

[AnthonyPhilipTorres]

he should have thrown that kid out the window

[Phalang3]

Yeah, it's from Sounding Nemo.

The soundtrack is amazing and good use of it :)

[filmguru]

Ha ha! Sounding Nemo? Awesome typo. :P

[xslimkrnboix]

awhh :D

and yes perfect music with the perfect setting.

[jar0fdirt63]

wow that was amazing! you've got some real talent!

[TVShaiff]

Nice music too.

[GmanFTW]

isn't the music from finding nemo?

[PurOStudios]

It actually sounds like it would be... I dont know. I like it though.

[TVShaiff]

Awesome stuff.

[sadisticmind49]

beautiful well done with placin emotion in ur animation

[MrJeffrees]

damn, you and your CalArts, good shit.

[05111989t]

Nicley done!

[lop001]

i would have hit this kid right in the face with that broken laptop and then cut his face off and eat his brain

[dianaberry1993]

that sounds terrible. I think the guy in the cartoon felt compassion for the kid, and made the right choice. Besides, a laptop would not break that easily, unless it was a crappy one.

[AbraShazaabra]

What a cheap laptop LOL.

I'm glad he decided to "grow down."

[TwoAnimators]

Really nice work! I'm gonna put this damn computer away and go play with my son now ;)

[dbdaddio]

I really like the acting and situation you put the characters in.

[anythingpainted]

lovely

[KoRnelius]

that was wonderful:) You're very talented!

[eatlizband]

Greaaaat!

[carnivaldead]

Didn't expect that after some of the other demented funny stuff i've seen from calarts. Not bad though

[jazzimation]

lovely story, and beautiful character designs. You guys from calarts certainly know what you are doing :) great job

[ClassictheClown]

really hits home, *tear

[xxchris321xx]

aww

[brameijk]

Aah nice Road to Perdition song.

i love your animation man, really cool style!

[churraheefilms]

Wonderfull :)

[dianaberry1993]

ohhhhh, that is sweet. :)

[ya1y1234]

lol, thought this was gonna be the hank jr song, but still good anyway...

[nanadepuchodana]

Oh, my gosh, I love this!

This is a great example of why I want to be an animator.

[dearsilence]

REALLY well done!! This is really inspiring...thanks so much.

[starfang30]

Cute!

[wolfofdarkness15]

THAT IS A WONDERFUL STORY

[d3vilcat2004]

*is weeping*

[bamb0oleaf]

pretty good :)

[BOULDERBADGE]

Solid work and nice style.

[emerarudo]

That was so heartwarming! I hope you'll finish it. Do you have a finished copy around?

[Choppie222]

awe im crying thats was soo cute!!

[AdmiralTosz]

Sweet and so on. But still this kid didn't behave appropriately on the plane. I think he should be taught some simple rules of kindness, like: do not disturb other people while they have something important to do.

[number1animechick]

that moved me, it was just too cute for words. That stuipid dad he was the cause for all of this, let his soul burn in $%^^ (the opposite of heaaven if you can't guess!) but maybe, just maybe the father's father's father was mean, i don't know it could of been a chain of meanness. thanks for the vid, it was very opening

[TelekineticFreak]

so cute! I love it!

[fukmeandfukyou]

absolutely amazing!!

[raudhaha]

So Sweet!

[frankpatton]

nice job, was this a true pencil test - the old fashion way? How did you create this? Is Cal Arts back to teaching drawing?

[talatsmum]

awwz cute : )

i love that sort of storyline..

but oh god that kid is STILL annoying me..

[BinglesI]

Lol ya me too

[joesharps]

some frames in the animation were a bit faded, and parts disappeared,

but the story more than made up for it.

very good! I enjoyed it very much.

[Radica1Faith]

That was really really good. It made me cry towards the end though.

[loravine]

Oh my god...

That moved me...

[Foxtale2]

That was so sweet. Excellent film.

[Triangle1988]

aww!! i freeking started to get tearyeyed in the last bit! beautiful film! (hugs the film)

[notsogoodartist]

T_T sweet..... ^o,^

[Vordrace]

that makes me think of my childhood, when i was 5 or so... really nice, the man who doesnt't want to be like his old father... thats simply genius! 5 *****!!!11

[VALENTINEproductions]

AWSOME!

[RecessiveTrait]

This was adorable! Congrats! <3

[vkacademy]

That was really sweet, and very well presented. Not too long, not too short. Best of luck to you!

[noncba]

a very provocative piece of work

[twinlotus617]

That was exceptional

[kangelt]

great vid. great heart!!!!

[NickJammar301]

Yeah pufect words to say about this video

[hrn001]

That's very sweet <3

[MoonKissed27]

It's usually a battle with my computer to post comments on YouTube, but hopefully an exception can be made here.

That short was so sweet, it really surprised me.

I was just surfing through, and stumbled upon it.

I hope you get to finish it out, even though I really like it just as it is.

[MixyBoy]

heartbreaking vid.. :( at least for me...

[delfrig2000]

Just wondering, do you draw these frames on celulloid or with pencil or what? (Im wanting to get into this myself is why i ask)

[kenpichigo]

dude, message me when u finish it! awesome ending! soooooo heartwarming!!!

[MalevolentTeaparty]

Awe. So sweet. ^^

[themagiciannumber5]

wow....

but pls..dont make an 3d annimation out of it...

its.. i dont know... ^^

[quietthomas]

Yes, that was very well done.

[dylanmaxwell]

the ending.. it was getting funny and then...

[Jaderain]

that was wonderful. at first i thought he was a jerk. this was very heart warming and the music at the end added very well to the effect. good job

[silvanoscherrer]

have to se it when 'ts done =D

[The80swasStraight]

CUUUUTE!!! Dude great lines! Lemme know when its polished! :D

[keybobrob]

sniff...

[hurtwings]

(((:

[AnarchyNightmares]

Aww.. sweet!

[Haha5473]

[mb00063942]

good one mate!

[BastardJack]

Thats good, you should finish it.

[RockOnBob85]

Very cool

[blaa94]

great animation

[ShrivelyBallsack]

the music in the end made me so sad.

[Karokapha]

Easily a turning point in a feature length film, touching as a film of it's own. Great work!

[bleeder9o0]

Good work ^_^

[amoniacarater]

5* very nice!

[Tiger331PL]

grate ! grate animation u got a 5 stars !

[lightcuteness]

wow, u got TALENT there man!

[Rakasha113]

awesome ^_^

[Hazmatdude]

That was Amazing *sniff*, if you gave that yo Pixar or Walt Disney, maybe they could put your finished clip in the front of another one of their movies. You know where sometimes they have that small animated clip before a movie? well, this one could be one.

5/5 stars. Keep up the good work! :)

[FragMaveri]

not bad, at all.

[videochick770]

very nice!

[RawrNiklas]

Freaking awsome! It can be made to a freaking movie..

[StuffedRabit]

That was.. Beautifull. Very well done.

[TheAlmightyRoyzo]

Hmmm. The animation is a bit.. different,

but the story and the whole idea behind it is done very nicely!

4/5 for you mate!

[emwbomb3]

wow. this stuff is amazing.

[DMWdftr]

Rated by the D.

Awesome > This brings up lots of memories

[TerriCereza]

That was awesome! The sound, the animations, all were fantastic!

[oxarplatt]

what the bloody hell was that peice of junk? im adding that to my playlist

[spankyquest]

yeah, what the was that. i would of slapped the shit out of the kid. and bring him into the bathroom and teach him a lesson he will never forget! hehahahahah!

[madden1957]

Very cool vid. I like being included in the creation process. I wish I could do it for a living.

[tokinblckgie]

Ahem. GREAT vid.

[tokinblckgie]

Greay vid.

[C0unterattack]

[gringochucha]

nice facial expressions on the old guy

[MetakDarr]

Good Job

[superglueman54321]

it was boring and hard to see it was lame they keep blinking and stuff

[sayterra]

Obviously you have no idea how much work goes into animation, so please, just leave.

[JannFinn]

[Kampy187]

[fanboy20]
