Really good, I can indefinitely see that you're trying your hardest on this. 10/10 for the video, but the moral (I think) is a little mysterious...

from what I gathered from the video the girl used to be a wonderful, beautiful school girl, who focused on school and her education, and I guess she needed to talk to a "friend" of hers and when he said yes, instead of being a friend he was the complete opposite of that in some way, mentally scarring her for life and being the basis of her changing herself completely. Please tell me if I'm wrong, I would like to see what you're trying to say in this video (I believe creating videos is a good way to share a message, and all videos have a message, whether it's to be comedic, scary, gory, depressing, etc. etc., you just need to look hard enough to finally see the message) thank you, and again, nice video!

Thanks for the compliments!

You've got the details wrong but the general idea is mostly correct. Canonically this is supposed to be a nightmare sequence of some traumatic event but it's not an actual memory. The things that happen here are mostly symbolic.

Cool!

Marckel responds:

lol u

I see your effort, but I can't say I like it. Besides the technical issues of animation itself (which perhaps you should try to improve and make more fluid), the story itself seems a little... I don't know... unintelligible? Cut up? From this short alone we can't really know that the girl lost her voice. Or what she's actually trying to remember or dream (given the fact that it's seems like a dream, that's forgivable). Or why her mind works like a computer. I don't want to be too harsh, because it really shows your effort, but that's just my two cents.

What I do like is the way you used sounds and music. Particularly how we begin to listen the storm when she wakes up. That's really well done. You have a good grasp of how to create an atmosphere and sounds to convey something.

Marckel responds:

Thank you for the review! Storywise it was meant to be a horroresque nightmare sequence which is why most story elements remain to be explained in other installments. I aimed for too many concepts and lacked the execution to pull them off coherently it seems which appears to be a recurring issue from my last animation. I'm still trying to find the right balance between a comprehensive story and not giving too much away.

This was really good!

Marckel responds:

Very glad you think so!

wow, phenomenal effort man.

Marckel responds:

Aw thank you!
