Here is something that could be worth thinking about later:
I would like to see what happens next to the young man in this clip! Where is he going? Will he make it back home? Will he leave his art dreams behind? It could make a good story!
p.s. also, it could be a little brighter b/c the resolution is a little dark IMHO.
reading your comments, mahingsun, dont worry about it. you can have fun doing alot of things. one of the happiest guys i know writes poems in books that nobody's ever heard of (he acknowledges this), draws pictures, and makes stereos for a living, never making much money, but happy. Whatever you want to do, you can make it work.
Dear all supporter of this animation. First of all, thank you for your comments and supportive manner.
Unfortunately this animation didn't make it into top 10 or top 20. Personally I really feel disappointed as my work didn't recongized a spot in the competition.
For competition details, please search Vancouver Film School in Youtube.
I am 29 now and after this competition, I will just deeply consider about my career. as I wonder why my work-hardship can't have proper reward.
if you are gonna let this one failure stop you, then good, give up. Really, you should be thinking about your next project. For example, I recently made an animation for a channel frederator contest and a video for VFS, both not making the cut. But you know what? That's not going to stop me from finishing an animated film I'm going to premiere at my city's film festival at the end of this month. Never give up, if you truly love what you do. Peace brother.
It is about life and value. Sometimes learn from the experience, currently I feel that I was robbed, and may feel how stupid I am(why not taking film). I have to support myself and there's a limitation for animation creation...this is the reality that I have to face. May be deeply consideration is about changing directions, I don't know either.
Do you have the skills for video game animation? That is creative work. It is also an industry that is experiencing a lot of growth, and probably pays well.
Well I can only say that I love to see cinematic cut scenes in the video games. Personally I would like to treat this competition as a springboard, One hand I would like to train my skills and the other hand is seek opportunity to working aboard as in HK, I don't feel that I have a good prospectus to be an animator. I would like to make people feel shock and amazing when they saw my animation. But in HK, this industry is just too "mono-tongue".
I think you should do what makes you happiest. I understand that you are upset that you weren't recognized, but consider this - some of the greatest artists of all time were never recognized. Vincent Van Goh died without any recognition, Philip K. Dick wasn't recongnized enough until after he died, Franz Kafka too.
So I understand you need to make a living, but if making art truly makes you happy, then you shouldn't do it for rewards. Also, maybe you're just ahead of your time? =)
This is an excellent animation. Not only it captures the scenery of old public housing in HongKong beautifully. It also microscope a conflicts between the reality and emotion of people. A lot of people living in public estates want to keep pets but it's against the law to do so. It's a simple and touching story between human and cat. I love it very very much!
this was an excellent submission i really liked the way you achieved your setting because it gives the story a different more realistic humanized feel anyways great job man and good luck if you can check out mine and tell me what you think
Thanks, actually I would like to do 3D animation in a special way, (not just for photorealistic). Yep, it is similar as "Animatrix"
Well about this competition, it is something like comparing "apple" to "orange" and because we work on different category, It is hard to compare. Well lets become one of the 10 finalists first!!!
This is beautiful...you were very real. Touching.^_^

You can always make art in your spare time, too!
Here is something that could be worth thinking about later:
