Loved it
A lonely, cursed young man finds his attempts to engage in the world disrupted by a mysterious predator and a ghostly amputee.This is a project from a couple years back. I seriously wish I could have gotten voice acting because I had quite a bit of dialogue but ended up going the silent route. The storytelling isn't very strong and the artwork is lacking, but I hope someone enjoys it.

lol. very good tone. kept waiting for satie to start playing.
I like this style of art.
there are some satie pieces i would have loved to use in this! or anything i make. Thanks for the feedback.
I enjoyed this and thank you for making and sharing it.
The story was very interesting and it kept my attention.
Good animation and a good choice of background music.
Until I read the description I didn't really follow... it was morbid and eerie, but I wondered if the different 'chapters' were related or separate, if they told tales from the same persons life, or different ones... if it was about a meeting or a parting, about the trauma caused by the dog, a bad dream, something else... the description explains a lot, yet after imagining so many other things I feel like a 'mysterious predator and lonely witch' feels a too fictional route. Like it could have had more depth. Thought I was onto something big, but in the end it was more based on the visuals than I expected...
Voice acting might have been good indeed, to push the story, though on the other hand I feel the silent way really builds the mood. The atmosphere here is pretty special. Brooding. Gloomy. Lonely. Voices might break that impression... and I did like the visuals! Nicely done overall, all that's really missing is the red thread, for better or not.

I'm really happy read this. The description I gave is more simplistic and literal than I'd like, but I thought I might give at least a few details just to get people going on the plot if needed. There were all sorts of themes of trauma, loneliness, and guilt I wanted to touch on, though I'm still learning as a storyteller. I really appreciate your feedback.
Great work. I think the lack of voice acting actually added a lot to a movie. The animation was simple but good. Dark colors, shadows and lightning (like how the light drops on the couch when characters get back home), creates a really strong atmosphere. The only thing that kept me from giving this a 5 star rating was some things i did not understood in the story, but I was never very good in interpreting art :). Please, continue creating movies like this, looking forward to them in the future.
Thank you very much. Really nice to know some of those visual and atmospheric touches clicked with you. As much as I love the surreal and abstract, I still really like structured narratives, and I definitely hope to tell stories that can be followed, while maintaining some ambiguity.
