[Alwaysdieinrain]

[ErnestoTheTrippyOne]

This was weird (in a good way). It gave me a hopeless, depressing feeling but at the same time it made me happy.

[jweinrub]

[norahwhoreha]

Went looking for something else on youtube and found this.. cheers. So beautiful..

[mrbenking]

One of the best, if not the best video on youtube. Really stunning animation, what software did you use? Please keep making films! (btw what was the music?)

[rhiyanwhipple]

That was a Radiohead track.

[rhpmpp]

ç_ç great job.

[rynam1217]

This is different, and says a lot with simple drawings, fantastic, is the creator of this 'gem' working already in the animation industry? Hope he could follow through this great career, tell him we love his job and he must come with more videos to share.

[Nanovirus5995]

that was a very emotional animation. i think you have realy cracked the aspect af taking animation seriously. Well done

[magicbobble]

Love it yeah:)

[pengukodmo8]

Thats soo cool!!! :)

[jubs916]

OMG....wow...um just incrediable...i just cant descirbe all the fellings i get from this wonderfull video

[splinkydinkydinky]

i think this is the best thing i've seen. ever. absolutely brilliant. its visually stunning, technically brilliant, artistically composed and most of all incredibly moving. not to mention the soundtrack which is a really nice remake of a great song. if i could afford it i would pay you a salary to make more wonderful things like this to share with the world.

[helewa007]

this vidio touch my heart . so sensitive .. hope see more.. you r artest.

[theQiwiMan]

i love this video. It gets me every time i watch it, absolutely beautiful. Makes me think of how much i love my wife for some reason. :-)

[gnamp]

Alternatively it is an exposition on the nature of work in general- or even life itself. God knows I've felt like this plenty- and it prevents us from seeing the beauty that's right there.

[gnamp]

I think this is a statement about entertainment. How can we appreciate the thing properly when we are behind the scenes making it work?

[robkinder]

One of my favourite animations seen on youtube - inspirational, unique, lovely. I actually saw it ages ago but failed to find it since until now. I'd love to know how some of this was made; I was assuming 3dmax/maya with director and a few other bits?

[txriss]

Lovely. To share your devotion of your craft through the vehicle of the story shows an amazing mind. Quite lovely, indeed.

[justtrytostopus90]

that was so amazing i love it

[theQiwiMan]

beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Really reaches me on so many levels, thanks for posting! Definately one of my all time favorites.

[reaperstang]

I love computer animation. I hope to learn how to do it someday.

[philippo222]

that is absolutely awesome!!! i love it! well done! keep up the good work!

[revengeantibody]

the song is "no surprises" by radiohead

[mightyred230]

kind of looks like smeagol from lord of the rings lol -- very nice project

[Hawaiiewl]

the creator of this video must really love the person he loves...great vid

[lanaY2K6]

That is a great video. i wish to study computer animation when i leave high school. Brilliant!

[reddsuiko]

I wish I had such talent. T-T

[beatboy08]

Great job! Beautiful art & story. :)

[beatboy08]

What's the name of the song?

[cgad]

don't get the story much but sweet effects. animation is pretty cool as well.

[Metal777Messiah]

For all those who did not understand this video: Our life is all hard work, but the few moments of beauty, (love, laughter, happiness) that we get are all worth the effort.

[Tyronial]

Mmmmm, I never thought of it that way. Thats pretty clever. In that case, that was actually pretty cool.

[Abbruzzesi]

That is great!!!  Really well done animation.

[huukdawnfawnix]

ive just loged in and im really tired but i loged in anyways just to leave you a comment me as a animator just wanted to tell you AMAZING job your animations SPeak 1 million wordsm other animations are mostly jsut clones of anything made by pixar ect, yours are uniqe and awesome good job man

[GuardianxAngel]

wauw.. weird.. gave me shivers all over, but very beautiful the way the ballerina comes in and merges with the man..

[iblucky1]

i saw it as a view of human life through the eye of a creative genious. does the hampster wheel represent all of lifes work that can be done through a fun time though? because isn't that something fun that hampsters do?

[Tyronial]

i dont get it?!

[lestershow]
