Stone Dagger is a good video. This is a serious play on mythology and Advance Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D). AD&D is shallow to serve the desire of power & conquest, high adventure without the risk. Mythology we get Medusa that would turn people to stone with her hair of snakes. A snake is an evil spirit, and Medusa is a ruler: two meanings, stoned to death, or quarry slavery; such as being turned to a pillar of salt is slave salt mines--to tell entertainment the language is changed, is myth.
Not only does the butterfly represent innocence, it represents fate. The idea of the man recognizing what he is doing can also hurt him in exchange. Thus, the butterfly made an opening for the girl to strike back.
i think the butter fly symbolises verginity purity and innocencs. i agree the man is rapest and is out to destroy that butterfly for every girl. After he rapes the girl the butterfly of innocense and verginity can no longer be enjoyed because she now has a heart of stone. as soon as he has stolen her verginity he loses interest in her and seeks for his next victim, but in this case she refuses to stay a victim and tries to save other girls from having their butterfly stolen from them.
thank you. it takes a long time for me to recover every freaking time...and then i'm always behind in school work T_T...and it sucks when it's during summer holiday, cuz then it's like ...fine. WASTE my holiday, why don't you!
I thought the chick was gonna start dancing to "Hit Me Baby One More Time" cos that's what the first three chords of the guitar part sounded like when she got stabbed!! :-D
Hmm.... The man represents a rapist, the woman represents the victim, while the butterfly represents (looks like) someone who must sacrifice someone to bring the man down, leading the woman to him, knowing she will have the power to grab him, so that he would be taken down with her. Amazing.
That's what he gets! Sneaking up on women in the woods like that and shanking them in the stomach. Hehe, the butterfly was a nice touch at the end too!

that was...sorta lame...reminded me of final fantasy nine when blank tries to run away and gets caught by a thing turning into stone. and they look like something out of ragnarok or something -_-
I think it's something like she looks vulnerable wich is what he goes for but she had the courage to take him down with her since she knew she couldn't stop from changing into a stone.
Great idea, although I wwould have loved to see a shot of that scene something like 2 years later with someone finding the statue embracing a skeleton. -)
cool, but it seems like this type of "weird intro, then someone gets trapped forever" plot is used in WAY to many short animations. Really really well made though!
That was great, I really liked it. The twist was excellent, it really made the whole movie, and the music, effects, and animation were all great. Simply by showing fascination with a butterfly, you show the viewer whose side to take. Excellent job.
I love this video, the animation, the story and especially the music! Wonderfully done!
