[crzyqgrl]

i was looking for your name in the credits and they i realized i don't know your real name haha

[T0ujoursPur]

Muahahahahhaa >=D

[kaybabe254]

This is a great short film.

:D

Did you take part in this?

[T0ujoursPur]

of course~ I wouldnt post it if I hadnt =D

[emilygracey]

That was cute. I can definately see the where the "Red Balloon" references are (minus the depressing demise of the red balloon, but the releasing of the balloons at the end was very reminiscen of it). It was kind of like a mixture of 'Where the Wild Things Are', 'The Red Balloon', 'Mirrormask', and 'The Alphabet.'

Good job!

To those who didn't get it I would recommend watching a few David Finch, Jim Henson, and Guillermo del Toro films and then come back to this. You'll love it then :D

[YourMomsUHz0mbie]

[MissKittypupetmaster]

I came up with the costume design for the first creature you see :) with some help, of course ;)

[T0ujoursPur]

Oh I was on another shoot at the same time as this one so I I just helped out with costuming (which took way more time than I would've thought Dx)

and we go to Full Sail University =]
