My submission for the VFS and YouTube "What Matters to You" Scholarship Competition. What Matters to Me? Using all the things I love, like Design, Motion Graphics, Typography, Music, Film, and Animation, to make this world a better place. There's a lot of people in really bad circumstances, and I hope that I can play a part in making their lives just a little better. Even if its simply telling their stories and letting the world know about them.

Thanks to the Vancouver Film School (VFS) for hosting this Scholarship Competition. (I am planning on attending the Digital Design course next year, whether I win this Scholarship or not).

Thanks to all the other great contest entries. And congratulations to the other Finalists. Like What Matters to You (VFS Entry) from directortoby and Non Voix from furiouseggs and Espresso 3000 from animale38. Also, thanks to great VFS videos like Pandamonium by Vancouver Film School student Keon Ghei Yu for the VFS Digital Character Animation program, Dancing Animals in Love by Vancouver Film School student Ben Meinhardt for the VFS Classical Animation program, and After Oz by Vancouver Film School student Percy Kiyabu for the VFS 3D Animation & Visual Effects program. Without these videos, I wouldn't even know VFS existed.

And finally, thanks to my wife Asia (who put up with me spending a ridiculous amount of time on this project) for all of her Love and Support. I really couldn't have done this without you.

The Israeli people haven't done anything wrong, if you'll live here you'll see that the T.V. is lying!

[chraisia]

I would agree that the Israeli people haven't done anything wrong, however the Israeli government has broken numerous international laws and has committed multiple human rights abuses, such as killing hundreds of minors in the recent Gaza attacks (according to the Israeli human rights organization B't Selem).

hey, what software do you use to edit your videos to add all those special effects?

[chraisia]

I used Apple's Motion 3 to create this video, however I have recently switched to Adobe After Effects. It is far superior...

fuck israel

[LooroFororo00]

I love it!

[HenchulaSpringsteen]

you really have no idea as to what happens in Israel, those "people" you've mentioned their houses are being ruined, are the people who hide terrorists in them, are the people who use their children as human shields and educate their children to go and kill Innocent israeli/jewish people. next time you should really do a research about your work.

I favourited this video a long time ago but then was just filing through my favourites today and gave it a watch again. I've been thinking recently about what I want to do with my life, and how I can do something meaningful and help change the world for the better. People like you are the reason that I still have hope that doing that is possible. Positive attitudes make positive change. :)

I see that you won the scholarship - congrats, you definitely deserved it!
