Well done sir! Great concept, goes well with the music, I'm off to listen to more of Eden's tunes :D

[aniBOOM]

@ratatat901 So glad you like the animation AND Eden's music!

[nutabambi]

The Wizard of Oz?

[aniBOOM]

@nutabambi Exactly!

[shaaniAkizzY]

I love the thing that this reminds you of the Wizzard of Oz =]

and I love the song. Nicely done Aniboom! =]

Xx.

[aniBOOM]

@shaaniAkizzY I will pass it along to the animator, Garry Calderwood!

I havent been able to really like one of these in awhile. Your animation video changed that. Great Music, great use of the color yellow, and the interpretation on OZ for leaving the hood is GREAT. KUDOS to YOU.. Well thought out. 2 thumbs up!!!!! I thouroughly enjoyed that one and will post this one on my faebook.

[laraesque]

Excellent story about leaving beliefs in wizardry and relying on reason.

[honniesduet]

love the song, clever animation, fits perfectly

[cscdigitalgraphics]

Cool song.

[BiliousTrumpstaine]

loved it. well executed and clean story points. it kept me focused for 4:03 plus a replay!

[Silverfoxyfifty]

Very stylised animation and thanks for sharing.

[simeonkane]

Why would someone imitate the great John Mayer and think to be anywhere near as successful. I've seen accidental imitation of accomplished artists by younger artists and it disturbs me. I see it more in African American artists (i.e. R-Kelley sing-a-likes) like Tre Songz and Mario. I'm very disappointed to see the same practice in more talented artists on the brighter side of the pond.

[w1nos]

Very good...

[deftlink]

like!, was clean and simbolic .

[Darkbreeed]

Awesome work. The imagery goes very well along with the lyrics only touching the specific themes of The Wizard Of Oz (growing up, coming of age...) without forcing them. Brillant little piece of both musical and visual art you got there along with subtle debth. Keep up the good work. Cheers

[TruthatCearcie]

Interesting.
