On Seeing The 100% Perfect Girl (part 1 of 2)

This is the first part to the final and completed version of my Murakami test play. It is based entirely off of Haruki Murakami's short story from "The Elephant Vanishes." Music from the Korean soap opera "Winter Sonata" and the group "Hearts." I Hope you enjoy this as much as I did while making it.---------------------KEEP IN MIND that I made this while I was in Iraq with very limited resources.

Do you know that Wong Kar Wai's Chungking Express is inspired by this short story?

Thanks, enjoyed your video. Stay safe in Irag.

I watched Chungking Express a long time ago. Which story was in the movie was inspired by this?

KrispyMike is the truth when it comes down to capturing the essence in life. Real talk I really do enjoy this video and I hope to see more of his work.

The pictures and the story is amazing, but only the music is bad. Whey didn't you use the music from your testplay? This music was 1000 percent better and not so hokey, like this music.

Really touching. Weird... the story, the age of the protagonists, even the shape of the girl correspond to something that happened to me a short time ago.

Great, in my opinion maybe just because of your limited resources it became really magical..

[KrispyMike]

Yup, a bunch of short stories. Murakami is notorious for leaving the endings of his stories WIDE open.

Hey, just thought you'd like to hear some positive feedback; I have been reading "The Elephant Vanishes" in my sophomore English class. I love the book so far and you did an excellent job of showing the story. I really love the style of drawing you use as well, I hope you keep up the good work.
