Gone - sad, contemplative animation

By Bård Edlund, who says: "I ineffectively spent about a year and a half animating an ambiguous story devoid of anything that could possibly generate significant audience interest. And I did it with dumb amounts of passion and pride, despite the many obstacles along the way.

The result is a humble black and white film of geometric figurative abstraction, perhaps best described as a visual poem about love, loss, and longing.

Amazing someone can convey so much in three minutes.  Funny how some spend millions of dollars on a two hour movie, which don't even come close to something like this. Love it!

@qigong1001 Hey, thanks so much for the kind words!

thank you for making this...I lost my wife recently and found this film to express my feelings so well

[edlundart]

@eebytuby Sorry for your loss. Thanks for posting kind words at a difficult time. It's really gratifying to hear from people who were touched by my work.
