Hell no, I'm weighing it now. The richest man in the world?... or love for some chick I didn't care about in the first place... I'll take the riches please! :)
My inspirations visually were Dali and Magritte. As far as story... I always wanted to do a film about a genie hippopotamus, a talking dog and a man eating praying mantis.
Good acting, an "immersive" environment, you combined different elements from different stories and added that touch of realism with fantasy and dreams in both directing and the shooting environment taking us from one journey to another with a beautiful backdrop of surrealism everywhere. It reflects one thing how cultured you are. Great Job. Just simply great.
Hi message from lightdancer @ art community earth ... would like to keep in touch ... working on a special script and would like to be able to make contact when the time is right.
Really good! I love the look of this...the atmosphere...the lighting, the way the animation merges with real backgrounds...the music score...very well put together and very creative! Great!!! :)
now if you stared reading this dont stop its really scarey!ok send this to five other videos in 143 minutes.When you are done press F6 and your crushes name will apear on the screen in big letters this is weird because it does work.If you break this chance you wont have a crush in the next five years
wow...awesome movie....really useful information as well....lesson seen in this movie will be remembered...inspiring movie..thanks...let me know if you plan on selling a copy
Very well done,great effects,imaginative story,good acting,great dog,surreal,trippy,kinda reminds me of "MirrorMask". The soundtrack works well, on par with anything hollywood has put out. Will this eveolve into a feature length film?What program did you use to get such a clean compression as I want to get cleaner versions of my films on this site..Thanks and keep up the great work I added this to my group...
I can't believe there are no comments on this video. Guess I found this quickly. I just barely started it and the imagination and design that went in to this is truly astounding! Very well done.

The part with the genie and particularly that the entrance to this irreal world is it's mouth heavily reminds me of "Aladdin" by Walt Disney Studios.
