[izzyfrizzybell]

i dont get it

the monster tried to kill the bird and then he cries about it?????

[lavaslide]

@izzyfrizzybell I don't think he was trying to kill the bird, just get his attention. Maybe he was feeling lonely and wanted to be friends but he just went about it the wrong way, and then felt bad about it.

[billypolard]

@lavaslide you got it. heh

@Kailexanra thank you very much.

[EclipseProjectFilms]

This is maybe the sadest, and best put together video I have ever seen on Youtube, and the fact you did in on a DSI makes it more impressive

[billypolard]

@xXsierraXx1997 thank you!

[magnieto1]

This song perfectly sums up my last relationship; she didn't even try, she didn't even care.

It hurts, but lesson learned: fuck people like her.

[billypolard]

@magnieto1 hope you liked it though. ha

[magnieto1]

@billypolard

I did, and do. Thanks for the tune. Keep it up. 

[MoistClam]

I just managed to masterbate to this.

[Jademageify]

Poor monster, he just wanted a friend...

[TomKennyIsLovely]

This song is absolutely beautiful. That last line, "I'm not dead, I'm dying," is so sad. Great animation too - I can see you've put a lot of hard work into it. Nice job!

[ObsYdiaNv8]

lol so tempting to click the dislike, i'm gunna click it... i'm gunna click it... nnaaahhh I couldnt!

[northernrob99]

[billypolard]

@supergendor thats awesome to hear. thanks!

[supergendor]

simply things always make me cry

[ZeroBeatness]

i like this one,andii cansee aton of effort put into this and i also enjoy the music. good job

[wetterdew]

Everybody has that feeling sometimes. I feel bad for the big monster. I guess he'll think before he throws another rock.

[TheRabbitmachine]

Amazing idea! How did you come up with designs and animation technique like that?

[billypolard]

@TheRabbitmachine i didnt really come up with the technique. check out "dr. katz professional therapist" its basically the same thing. thanks though

[TheRabbitmachine]

@billypolard No, I mean that you're using nintendo's Flipnote Studio. Why did you choose it as your tool and not any common animation software?

[billypolard]

@TheRabbitmachine just because its free. and also because i don't like drawing with a mouse.

[TheRabbitmachine]

@billypolard Your stuff is so cool! Keep up the work!

[armindausername]

Totally wonderful... Music, lyrics, animation, everything! Thanks.

[billypolard]

@armindausername thanks!

[01woodzyful]

that was sad i cryed and i thought that cartoons were suposed to be happy(why did he through a rock at the bird if he didnt want him to die) *sorry if this sounded rude i liked it*

[billypolard]

@01woodzyful he is a big dumb monsters. he doesnt know any better. thank you.

[01woodzyful]

@billypolard sorry if that afended you i watch it alot i loved it

[billypolard]

@01woodzyful you didnt offend me. thanks for watching!

[01woodzyful]

@billypolard your welcome! :)

[Laicka1992]

This animation brough a little tear to my eye. ^^

Your chara design is so simple but so cute

and perfect for a such song.

Rly nice job.

[billypolard]

@Laicka1992 thank you

[TheScatman89]

Just bought the album thanks for the great music. :)

[billypolard]

@TheScatman89 awesome! thank you.

[machogrubba14]

your welcome! Can you download this song from Itunes?

[billypolard]

@machogrubba14 yes. along with the rest of the album. there is a link on the info for this video. doesn't anyone read stuff anymore!? haha

[machogrubba14]

This song is one of my personal favorites

[billypolard]

@machogrubba14 thanks!

[00000stuff]

@demulation449 That violates the YouTube terms of use. You can probably google "YouTube terms of use" and find it.

[MarcelZero2]

you said you did what you could, you said that i'm no good, you left me in the air, you never really cared, you knew that i was lost, you burn up at any cost, you couldn't look at me, you wanted to be free, you said you did what you could, you said that i'm no good, you left me in the air, you never really cared, you knew that i was lost, you burn up at any cost, you didn't even try, no i'm not dead i'm dying

[billypolard]

@MarcelZero2 why did you post the lyrics? hah

[MarcelZero2]

send them to wake me up, like they did when we were young, we sit with our legs crossed, watching fairy tales that we trust, the battles that began, we seem to find them safe, the blankets were our walls to shield, us from the rain, chairs were rocket ships, a table was a plane, we'll fly to disney world, or up in outer space,

[MarcelZero2]

i sit here and watch you go, starting the beginning to the end, and as i sit upon these steps, it plays inside my mind over again, you said you did what you could, you said that i'm no good, you left me in the air, you never really cared, you knew that i was lost, you burn up at any cost, you must have suddenly realized that you're with me,

[Merrick2012]

wow, that was so beautiful and sad. That was amazing

[billypolard]

@Merrick2012 thank youu

[00000stuff]

You think you could make another music video with flipnote? I mean, it would be hard to top this one, but I would like to see another like it.

[billypolard]

@00000stuff iam currently working on another video. but it probably won't be finished for a long time. i am only doing it in very tiny bits in my spare time.

[00000stuff]

Could you put the video up for download?

[billypolard]

@00000stuff i really don't know how to do that...but you can get the song on itunes along with the rest of the album. it doesn't suck. ha

[00000stuff]

1. You can draw really well. 2. You're a great musician. 3. You have time. Put that all together and you get one of the best videos I've seen in a long time.

[billypolard]

@00000stuff thanks!

[CainGordon]

Dude. I saw this video a couple of weeks ago and it inspired me so much I had to make my own animated music video. Check it out on my page, I was done a few hours ago.

Oh and I posted it here as a video response ;)

Just wanted to say Thanks... and a good tune to!.

[GSarovich]

This was very intriguing, I just found this video tonight and I must say Billy I'm an instant fan. Very good job with the video and music. I'm thoroughly impressed mate. You should check out Chad Vangaalen, he's a really great animator/musician. Good Luck

~Mitar

[billypolard]

@GSarovich thanks!

[Skye940]

I'm....in love.....with this song.

I am seriously.....in love with it.

You have no idea.

Beautiful

Amazing

Perfect.

Amazing. (oh wait, i already said that)

And the animation is great, but the song is better :P

But seriously...WOW.

[billypolard]

@Skye940 thank you

[Nuage151]

amazing animation.. amazing song.

[billypolard]

@Nuage151 i appreciate it.

[NaotaNeko]

This is a great little animation. Thank you for putting so much effort into it. Is there anyway I could get a copy of the song?

[billypolard]

@NaotaNeko thanks....

in the description for this video there is a link for my album on itunes. it has that song on it.

[lukeguy97]

Why did he have to kill it....

[ignikiX]

@lukeguy97 he just randomly threw a rock in the air i think

[gkram212]

man i love this song and your animation is freaking awesome brother !

[billypolard]

@gkram212 thank you.

[MultiRider007]

Great song and video!!!

[billypolard]

@MultiRider007 thanks for watching!

[TageWily]

Brilliant video, I love it.

Quick question though, what did you do to your frames(pictures) to keep the quality once exported to video format? I've been trying to make it look nice, but it just turns into a smudge.

[billypolard]

@TageWily i just used windows movie maker. i think there is an option after you edit it to make it a higher quality. it just takes longer.

[jonniemango]

did you actually make this song

like your the artist ?

[billypolard]

@jonniemango haha. yes.

[Anbaraen]

You have a BRILLIANT voice and your animation skills are excellent too. Definitely recommend trying to break into music if that's the sort of thing you love to do.

[billypolard]

@Anbaraen thank you. i have tried. nothing.

[rydianmorrison]

Please tell me there's a way to find this on hatena. D:

[billypolard]

@rydianmorrison sorry, no. the video is too many pages to be one piece. i had to edit it in pieces on my computer.

[auws94]

very very nice

I hope my animated videoclip is gonna turn out as good as this

A-man

[the9ismine]

how did you achieve this effect if i may ask?

[billypolard]

@the9ismine ?

[cutjim]

How can I express my love for this song?

I know; I'll name my unicorn statue after you. Billy Polard, right?

[billypolard]

@cutjim thanks!

[MatalicMaternia]

The first person that dislikes this masterpiece will either:

1. Melt in their seat

2. Have an unwanted visitor or-

3. Turn into the flying creature in this video and when picked up from the ground by the bigger creature, the bigger creature will feel so sympathy; so ha!

[billypolard]

@MatalicMaternia thanks for the kind words!

[Stewiegriffinist]

I think you should become a widely-known musician.

[billypolard]

@Stewiegriffinist i wish! HA

[rootsm3]

man, this made me tear up. love it forever.

[KingdomHeartsBigFan]

dammit! I love this song! If you were a famous singer I would buy all your CD's!! wow!

[cOoLgIrLgOnEbAd]

[TalonIIV]

@cOoLgIrLgOnEbAd its in the title

[billypolard]

@cOoLgIrLgOnEbAd its in the begining of the video. and in the description. "losing light"

[captainwildwoman]

[billypolard]

@captainwildwoman thanks

[alexisblast]

[TwistedRainbowSock]

That was absolutly fantastic in a depressing kind of way.

Love the animation.

Love the song.

Great job

[billypolard]

@TwistedRainbowSock great to hear!

[lexeebabe22]

This was so touching. I almost cried.

[billypolard]

[billypolard]

[purplemist7]

I'm glad I finally got to watch your entire video after seeing part of it on Nintendo Week. I loved it and the song. Awesome job! :D

[billypolard]

@purplemist7 cool thanks.

[THEREALVITO]

very touching. even chuck norris would shed something

[rhythmrainbow]

This is totally amazing!! (and that's an understatement) Your music fit this Flipnote perfectly. I draw in Flipnote Studio, so I know how hard it must have been to do this. AMAZING!! O_O!!

[billypolard]

@rhythmrainbow thanks. yea it wasnt easy. and its not even that elaborate of an animation either.

[UGLYanimation]

@rhythmrainbow hey um i saw your comment on that loseing light music video, u mentioned something about flipnote studio..what is that?

[UGLYanimation]
