Mneh...
Can you sink an apprenticeship? I hear more about friendships going wrong...
Has potential but I think it needs more to hold it together. The one-off narration didn't work for me either (a "several years later" dialogue might have worked better)...
i liked it
i got all of it but when the bird killed him. Why? Other than that i though it was cute :)
So wait..
So the boy became homeless to live with a bird?? Then get killed by a.. Bird? A dead bird? That's just lame... I love crows but cmon...
Alittle bit of a hippie emo vibe there buddy. ^___^
Really well created
Wow, this is something that I never expected. The whole experience is one of joy, then tinged with something sad and even a little sinister towards the end. I loved the way that the emotions that are being conveyed blend nicely into one another, presenting a very nice animation as a whole.
Granted, I can see the joins between your animation styles, but is that really a problem here? I don't think it is, even though one is smooth, detailed and flows as an animation almost as much as something filmed professionally would, while another is made by the almost rough lines of the crow's wings and so forth. The way that it became angry with the boy was impressively put across with the drawing and animation style. I had to read the notes for that part, but now the voice makes sense.
I wonder from the script itself, how much you actually deviated? The whole script seems to have given you a very stiff challenge, that you've made a very good piece from this.

Thank you for the very informative review. The animation style during the fire scene was exactly to portray the shift from positive to negative emotions, then you know something is wrong(in the story). From the script itself we actually changed a lot, initially it was set in the African Sahara, and also the ending we actually wanted to show the bird when the script implied that the ending was of a shocked boys face, looking at the bird. We felt this left too much up to the viewer, and even more questions would be asked.
Thanks for the review.
urmrrmr
it was good for just 48 hours but didn't make a lot sense to me at least, but i did get that because the bird killed the dumb hippie kid he went and got a tattoo of an tear drops so no other birds would fuck with him, nice.
