FRONT PAGE! Excellent :D Thanks Tom & co.
Since I'm writing, I thought I'd address some of the responces to this animation...
First - the story. Some find it too simple, boring, or they like it. That's fine. But it is a story that's setup to make you think - if you don't think, you're not going to get it. It comes across vague to many it seems, because it was ment for you to draw your own interpretation. For instance, for me, the story is not so much about romance, it's simply about actively searching for something and being persistant until you find what it is you're looking for. - It's a simple message. But certainly others that have thought about it, have taken away other meanings, which is just as fine.
Secondly - visuals. I tried to keep some quality in this animation. But because of time and my other responsibilities, some things had to be rushed. If I had spent more time on it, I would certainly have added in more keyframes and detailed backgrounds better. But at the end of the day, this is all you're going to be getting for a free lunch (so to speak). As for the woman - I wanted her to look beautiful, so I did spend a lot more time on making her stand out. It also has a bit of symbolism to it as well - such as "the reward can be sweet".
Hopefully this has given some helpful insight into this animation.

First off, sorry for the file size.
This is an animation I started a while back, but was then hulted due to my studies. Recently I got around to finishing it off.
I hope you enjoy :)
