Ambition is the human drive. To get anything accomplished, a man must have the ambition to do so. Sometimes you have to do something crazy.

Our hero sits in his chair rather silently, the deep engine sound in the background illustrates the slow, dull meaningless of his existence. He covers up the red spot on his head, representing a quality... one that is not useful to him in his current position. He then does something that would appear rather ambitious, or in fact, insane, and jumps out the window, tumbling toward what seems to be an unpleasant death. However, upon releasing his cover of the quality, it is allowed to show itself, and ultimately save him. Ironically, pulling him out at the very last second... only seems to bring him back to where he started. This is the mad cycle of Ambition. Enjoy.

"wow."

Maybe I'm just in a good mood, but I think this deserves a ten too.

:)

I really liked how the buildings looked like people. I especially loved how this loop repeated itself. Your author comments say it well; i'm glad you gave me your interpritation.

"Holy crap"

The animation itself is good, but what really stands out to me is that you have the balls to explain each bit of your symbolism. So many "artists" wimp out and refuse to do that, or worse, can't do it because they have no clue what the fuck they're trying to accomplish. Of course, my interpretation was totally different, and I prefer my interpretation, but still, knowing what the artist actually intended is a real treat. If only more would follow in your footsteps....

Wow...that was....both good and creepy.

I'm a little freaked out by animation loops like this.
But at the same time, I appreciate it for the genius it is.
So many works, so many minds, so many pieces of art.
It's all a wonder of the world.
And so is this.

It could've been just a slightly bit better animation.

The idea of the end getting back to the beggining is very well thought. 9/10

"Best loop I've ever seen"

date: November 14, 2009

The thumping sound in the beginning, the detailed closeups, the sudden leap (though the angle from which the window is shot does give a hint at it) and the fall with great variation, and then back to the chair again, crazy, beautiful, creative. I could watch this a hundred times, love the sketchy style of art, keep it going!
