The style and the animation seriously reminds me of the game "Another World" from 1991, thus I very much enjoyed watching it. From a techincal standpoint the only thing I believe could've been added was some more camera movement in a couple of scenes, and perhaps the ending was a tad rushed. Not exactly sure about what's going on, although I could make an assumption or two.

I do hope you'll make some more animations in this style.
Also, on a completely unrelated note: Ubuntu logo! ;D

It's been a very long time since I wrote a review, but this movie deserved it!

I loved the concept! Very clever idea and well executed! I actually felt sad for the man who, at first, only seemed to have a very crappy day but ended up seing the universe around him gradually disappear into thin air. The shot of his wife waving at him seemed like it was foreshadowing it all, but maybe it's just me :P

The animation was pretty awesome also, I always love it when an animator are able to break away from their usual style. There's only one shot at the end (the one where the man spins on himself) that seemed to have some clunky 3D, but that's it.

And like Luis mentioned, I would've done the whole thing silent, since the dialogue don't bring anything meaningful to the short.

Oh! Gawd, this was really well produced. its easy to understand every scene without much thinking and the story is very fluid (if that makes any sense). Yup i love the style and the camera shots. The only thing that i really hated was . . . i cant think of anything. Anyway awesome job.

I liked it. Overall, I like that you really push yourself in these NATA things to experiment. I think that's the real value of this sort of competition. Its less about being the champion of all animators in the universe or whatever, its just to really test yourself and try new things with the added pressure of a brutal deadline.

As for this particular piece. I found the animation conservative. Dont know if its because the change in style or not, but I kind of like the crudeness of your earlier work. I think it feels more honest and 'human'. Which is hypocritical considering i just said how much i like the experimentation, but yea! The characters felt stiff sometimes. They were animated well, they just didnt have as much personality as I'm used to.

You have some pretty shots in there though. Pulling away to goto work. That whole bus scene with the birds disappearing and stuff. Really smart, well thoughtout shots. Good work!

Oh I kinda felt that you didnt need dialogue at all in it. It feels strange when it makes its appearance late in the movie. I think as a viewer youre already well aware of whats going on that the whole relationship with his boss, the paperwork and that conversation feels unnecessary. You already expressed the passing of time and the paperwork disappearing visually just fine. The whole no dialogue as he leaves home and as he runs into his kid again has alot of power behind it, i think the whole conversation bit slugs it up.

Yet another highly thought provoking flash. Well done!
