I love the music. Who composed the score?

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@themodernorpheus Thanks! The score was composed by Brett Anthony, formerly of the Sound Design faculty.

This is an amazing and powerful animation. :D

I wonder how the Vancouver Film School puts out so many skilled animators... and I wish I had the money and resources to enroll there. <:'|

The Gravedigger is interesting video. It represents a childish fantasy that we can fly away from our problems of death. There is nothing simple about life, and the Robot represent the machine of society processing the dead to be consumed by the Earth. You should see cancer patients, lost 5-pints blood, wild bleeding, stomach cancer removed to live another month (only the immediate threat, everywhere), cannot lift up head for two-weeks, claims will live years: This childish fantasy is common.

I expected to see wings unfold from one of the dudes getting thrown out at the end, that'd have been neat.

@greckuz If you would have watched the video until 3:05...

[VolcanoRoses]

@themodernorpheus Yes, you loved the music soooo much that you couldn't wait until 3:05 to post your comment.

I'm thinking about the city backdrop here. It's like a wall; an indistinct 'other place'. The tendency for people or society to shun the elderly is suggested there, whether intentional or not.

ALL these animations are simply advertisements to get more students.
