That description's almost too abstract! Watching the stopmotion, I was thinking it'd be a symbolism on birth, the struggle and sacrifice of bringing forth new life... didn't get that sense of destruction or bombing either, just a sense of hardship, and those self-igniting matches were a really cool effect, further expanded with claymation. Overall very smooth and moody animation, the music a large part of that atmosphere. Doesn't seem to deliver the message it's supposed to, but it was great! Always curious about how many photos work like this takes btw, any estimate? Keep up the great work!

This was great. I'm really into stop-motion animation, and this one was made quite well. A very interesting concept, unlike most I've seen on Newgrounds to be honest. It's individuality made it that much more intriguing to me. The animation was done well, some parts could have been smoother, but overall it was an above average job. I really enjoyed the scenes that included the matches in the animation, very smooth. The lighting was very good, as well. Fantastic for a first submission.

Oh, it's interesting and imaginative. It begins dramatically but doesn't have a good ending, it stops suddenly and hastily. I think it would be better if it was a litter bit longer :D

That was very well made, I did like the underlying message there even though I'm kind of terrible at analysing them usually.
