"Legend tells of a pure white beast with tear-shaped wings appearing only to those with a vivid imagination, and those lucky few are said to have been wonderfully blessed by it."

  • HEY! THIS WAS ON THE UNSW SITE AND IT ONLY GETS 33 VIEWS???

    Btw sorry but I dont really get it. Does the animal turn into the butterfly dragon or what????

  • @Estelikour It's also on the actual UNSW channel. :b I uploaded it here because it's my own channel.

    As for the story: the butterfly dragon, a symbol of imagination, enables the little deer creature to express his creativity by teaching him how to paint. The mask, representing the deer's imagination, is blessed by the dragon and transforms him into a creature similar to the butterfly dragon. Essentially it's about unlocking the "god" inside us all. :)

  • This whole video gave me chills especially at 1:33. It's like the dragon was saying "Trust me" and the little guy's expression said "What if I fall?" but against that doubt, he did it, he risked his life. Truly Inspiring and deserves much praise. The music really matches well with the overall feeling. I can't explain why, but it brought tears to my eyes. I can't even fathom how much heart and soul you must have put into this. I do hope to animate one day even as half as great as this piece.
