Cognizance

Produced as my Senior Project in high school, Cognizance follows a hitman and his (re)discovery of the beauty in life. Set to Coldplay's Don't Panic, much of the film was animated within the span of two weeks.

Cognizance was featured prominently in the October 6, 2007, Wall Street Journal article, "In This Film Industry It Really Helps To Be a Blockhead."

This is amazing. The music makes it. I never really said this about a brickfilm but it's kind of touching.

One of thousands of lifes lessons to be taught.

This is probably the 10th time I've watched this. Were I to summarize it in one word, I might say "beautiful".

[Hatmango]

This is very impressive! Especially since you were still in highschool when you made it.

This is probably one of the most emotional brickfilms ever.

This movie is incredible. If there was ever an Oscars for Brickfilms, this should have won one.

This film is amazing. The music fit it beautifully, but the story was what impressed me. Even with no sound or words besides the music, this film makes it's point with a sledgehammer. I think few of us realize how beautiful the world is.
