Fantastic :]

Jack and Jill? Clever.

[michaelmathewsart]

Thanks :D hugs*

oh it goes well beyond that- just how clever it is will be revealed in the sequel, (and eventually the remake). :D

[VowelsAreOverrated]

That was really good, I liked it a lot =]

when is part 2 coming out? ;)

[michaelmathewsart]

Thanks :) Im glad you liked it.

Part 2 has been written and I had started to storyboard it but I have been slowed down by college, I haven't been able to finish storyboarding and record the audio. It might take awhile to animate- realistically it might not be ready till at least December. Or maybe I will just write the whole thing as a feature length :P Also interested in adding stuff to division to show Atsushi's arrival in munbim. Perhaps doing some prequel type stuff too-like journey :).

[michaelmathewsart]

actually- I am wrong- I once made a small animated comic of a fish (god) swiming for the website of a magazine- two frames on a continuous loop :P + changing speech bubbles.

thx for posting :). I used flash for the 2d animation, blender for the 3d, premiere pro for the editing, photoshop for the backgrounds, soundbooth for the audio recording- prob some other stuff too. Of importance there was a really great plugin for flash that allowed me to move the camera and zoom. I had never ever animated before this film- it shows but I reckon I could do much much better now (and hopefully I will in a few months time- after my degree in psychology is finished :P) u animate?

Thanks so much Nate!

Finally got to see this ^^ Wow nice! Does seem quite deep. Looking forward to this sequel

[michaelmathewsart]

thanks tri!!

yes, but of course you have read the script!! :D I would think it is still very complicated though- as can be expected given it is the first part- I dont expect most people to get it until the sequel unless they have watched it alot and paid attention to the backgrounds and symbolism. But hopefully it can still be interesting for those who are new to it.

Ahhh it all makes sense now. XD Awesome.
