This is the film I spent nearly a year working on during my college senior year. Through my depressive spurts, my busy schedule, and a month with a corrupted laptop, I managed to finish this film. I can't say I'm completely proud of everything, but it's about the growth I hope to show from this point forward. People can be as brutally honest as they please.

That grind, day after day after day... even if you don't get the sense all that much time passes before he's caught in it. Maybe a bit longer a build?

When the darkness creeps up on the guy (the purple being - if that's his symbol or no) the animation felt a bit choppy, but when he wakes up in his... dreams (?) it's a whole other world! So smooth in comparison. The quality feels a bit inconsistent like that, but also like you get better as you go.

I can't say I really understand what happened though. I thought he was falling victim to something but... then he gets up and feels great? Who was that purple guy? Sickness? A dream eater...? And how does he overcome him?

I feel like it could be clearer, but otherwise it's not bad.

You basically hit/gave the perfect critique. I was really pressed for time and couldnt polish this like I wanted and ended up cutting a ton of scenes out. It still did better than expected though. I appreciate the words <3

nice animation
i saw this animation more as the shadow people that you can meet
in sleep paralysis and on dreams and the light that comes from
the main character is hes will to not fear and to go forward
embracing the shadow and going on with hes normal life
he has defeated hes daemon but hes till the same
or is he?
really nice animation

BrimBlam responds:

An interesting interpretation! I had some people irl ask the same thing!

I don't get the symbolism

BrimBlam responds:

Thats completely fair. Its supposed to be a little interpretive but basically it’s how my anxiety disorder/other retardations can flare up to a point where everything feels like its on repeat and letting shitty emotions consume me until a breaking point or desperation.
