My Dream

A text based animation about aspiration. It's very short. I was looking at what you can do with text in after effects and got carried away.
:o) Behind every door unopened Lies my dream - Completely dark, untouched,
You'd be forgiven for thinking dead. But it breaths with only my Thoughts to sustain it And maybe dreams itself -- Uncurling its petals, Choking the small space I allow it, Straining against its cell, Imagining its Birth.

All words, animation, and music by
Gary Hesketh.

A poet too...well it's all too much. I love the animation, and of course the poem itself was beautifully done. And I am not one easily swayed by the lesser attempts... You are really very good indeed. =o)

This started as a test... it was a nightmare getting it to all animate properly and in time. I'm so grateful for you wonderful comments. Again... Thank you.
