NATA 2012 - Open Round Animations with the theme, "Discovering time travel."
Author Comments
EDIT: Cool! Thanks you guys for the Daily First, Weekly First and Front Page! Couldn't have done it without you guys!
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you "Timeless", the first flash animation that took me only one week to create. This was for the NATA 2012 opening round theme, Discovering Time Travel!
INFO:
Animation Program- Adobe Flash CS4
12 FPS (That's why it's a little slow)
I suppose your wondering what the kcuf is going on in this cartoon. The basic synopsis is a scientist wants to find a cure for his wife, finds a time machine and travels to the future. He soon discovers that he can't cheat his way by skipping ahead of time. This time void thingie he's in is a blank field where the laws of physics and time don't apply. This scientist now has to wait for the present to catch up with him. Sort of like writing a book, you can't go far ahead or you'll end up with blank pages. Finally, he goes crazy in a matter of days and starts drawing everywhere.
The main focus is the story, not the animation quality. I'd prefer to see what you guys interpret in terms of a story(I haven't spoiled much of the details) because I've left openings for your own conclusions.
Well that's enough talk from me! Don't forget to rate 5!

This my friend, is by far the best flash I have seen this year. Serious, tragic, emotional, gets people to think. Its amazing that it only took you one week to make. The animation quality fits the movie, since it has the simple appearance of something made with a marker.
Awesome music, especially at the end, made me swallow a tear.
Very nice aproach on the time mechanics. I have wondered about this principle too;)
all in all, you get my vote for the NATA 2012 1st place

Deep message badly delivered. Feels pretentious.

As an conclusion, it seems that either his wife survived dispite her husband's dissapearance and eventual death call, or the scientist ran out to find his wife's grave, only to wish that he could take that moment of discovery of the time machine and all those years of research in limbo if only to have those last few moments with his wife.
As I believe he was a scientist in the research of the cure that his wife needed, theoretically speaking, being stuck in limbo would give him ample time to do his 5 year research, however it seems that destiny plays it's cards no matter what trump you have.
This movie puts a great spin off the saying "how far would you go for the one you love?"
Great animation, keep it up!

This was tragic, but simply amazing. I can't express how much I loved this flash. It had it all, good music, a good story and a good message; that there is no easy way out... even with time travel.
Honestly, you should be proud of yourselves for taking the time to make this. It was spectacular.
