[PoutingXEvoke]

Aaaaw, this was beautiful! teared up a bit at the end.

[JackandSally4ever]

That is wonderful. Paul and Cheyenne remind me of my parents with how close they are. My parents have been married nearly 25 years. Here's to a strong 25 for them, and many many more!

[GagaManMusic]

[Pattsam]

[brantholeman]

God I hope Paul and Cheyenne loved the heck out of this. If someone ever did something like this for me, I would be completely speechless! There are few opportunities in life to do something this incredibly awesome and I think it's great you were able to make it happen and let them know how you feel. Good work man!

[stodoe]

@brantholeman Thanks so much. The speech went over REALLY well. The whole room was in tears but laughing at the right points. Although it was way more work than I had anticipated it was so worth it when no one could hear the jokes because they were still laughing at the last joke yet switched to tears at the end. Thanks again for the great compliment. Feel free to send it around

[Caccaduu]

great great great!

not just a very well narrated story but also a great example that ppl. dont need renderman or arnold to move the audience . you defenetly can with some simple lines!

i like your work and can't wait for more.

[stodoe]

@Caccaduu Thank you so much for the really nice comment. I would've liked to have spend a bit more time on the design and drawing. But I had to get a 6 minute short done in 5 weeks. So I actually just started animating

at the beginning and just kept going with no planning, storyboards or anything. just a recording of the speech.

So I never knew what I was going to do for the next shot till I started animating it. Interesting process. HAHA. But I'm glad that it turned out. Thanks again.

[JstGoinForIt]

that was really good. what animation program do you use?

[stodoe]

@JstGoinForIt Toon Boom Animate.  Thank you for the compliment

[UrdMahiru]

OMg its awesome, congratulations i think its the best best man speech ever <3

[jack8210]

[ThePAIN1488]

Was  there a punch line I missed?

[stodoe]

@ThePAIN1488 You didn't miss a punchline. This was simply my best man speech for my brother. It was for him at his wedding. That's all. I just uploaded it to my youtube page to share it with people.

[BlueBlackInside]

Great humour!

Learning a little bit about animation next year in school for moving image arts, but it looks really tricky.

[XxPnuemaxX]

So you guys are, fraternal twins? Not identical ones? Going by the sperm scene?

[stodoe]

@XxPnuemaxX That's correct.  We are fraternal. HAHAHA. We just look a lot alike.

[DreiIchigo316]

[xDrickk]

That was incredibly sweet.

[WOW9521]

Oh, this is all true? That's so sweet!

[stodoe]

@WOW9521 yep. It's all true. I mean everything in the womb may be a little made up. HAHA. But yes everything else is all from our lives.

[TreyRust]

[stodoe]

Thank you all so much for the comments on this. I really was happy with the response it got but most importantly that it made my brother cry. HAHA
