EDIT 3* Hahah. Woo hoo. Thanks Tom, I think, for putting this is in the serious shorts section. Great! :) Also, for some time now I've been trying to bump the score up to a 4.00 and it just hasnt been working, but its finally there thanks to you guys :0

EDIT 2*I would like to say to all who have appreciated this work: Thank you so much! The audience of this piece is unbelievably suprising. Hmm. Oh ya I would also ask if some of you guys could suggest this to the noir section or mabey serious shorts. mabey together we can get it in, i dunno. thanks alot! :)

EDIT 1*Front page! I love newgrounds! Thank you so much for your support! Also thanks to all who tried desperatly to discover the meaning behind this animation! It makes me feel good! :)*

I planned this one out pretty graphicly in my mind. I had planned the elevator scene before I even started working on scene one. So after about 7 months of off and on work, its done. For this guy, I focused on high contrast and extreme saturation as well as no saturation at all. I also focused on the theme, which may be hard-core invisible to you guys, but I would love to see some reviews which try to guess the moral of the story, so to speak. Enjoy and thanks for watching!

I fail to see the point of this.
Perfect animation, though.

"this is very religiously symbolic"

the scenes in red are the present, and the black and white with the old sounding music are the events that led up to the present, please tell me if I am correct at all Tom Brush,
spoilers below

I believe the man is an evangolist or a pastor, or both, annd the clues I have for that is him going to a door with "are you good enough" pamplets, and another scene with him at a pulpit with 3 crosses behind him.
I also believe that he lost someone he was intimately in love with. The reason I believe that is because they were having some kind of service and there was a body laying there, he was leaning over it and shed a tear, and the scene after it showed a ring not being worn. Then, he walks away from a cross tilting, representing the grave site.
Right after he killed himself via jumping off a bridge.
Where he is in the red scenes represents purgatory, where people await judgement and the tower structure, or as you call the elevator scene, represented 2 roads. 1 to heaven, the other to hell. The upard arrow represents heaven beause the path to heaven is narrow according to the bible. The three downward arrows lead to hell for obvious inverse reasons.
Perhaps the moral is that he wanted to be with his lover in heaven.
Anyways, feel free to send me a message telling me whether or not I am correct, because I would like to know.

Author's Response:

YOu had it all the way till you stated your opinion of the moral. The moral is that no matter what kinda terrible stuff (divorce, anger with God, suicide) you do on earth, you are always forgiven if you trust in Christ. Anyways, bro, thanks for responding. :)

"Quite Good Indeed"

The art was amazing and the video chilling.
The constant cross imagery surely has a meaning, and so I will take a stab at it.
A man feels that religion did not help him in his time of need, and gave up his beliefs before taking his own life. But the up at the end of the movie indicates that even though he lost hope and turned away, he would still go to heaven.

I bet I am sooooo wrong about the movie, but whatever.
