Reviews for "The String"
A fine piece of art finally
When I thought that there was no sight of something new appears, then this piece of poetical art makes my day. The significance behind this little words, were truly realistic and very deep. Congrats Cody.

Thanks man. Really means a lot to hear a compliment like that.
I think...
what you're trying to say is that people lose focus of the beautiful world that surrounds them to chase fleeting sensations of "happiness", as the string seems to represent. However, we never seem to "catch" it, and we die without attaining anything of value.
So we should live in the present, never chasing, just living. While it is a somewhat flawed outlook, I believe that is what your trying to say.
I've been wrong before though.
Besides that, I LOVED the unique animation, and the simple, yet eerie NIN music. I look forward to your work in the future.
It's Sad
Poetry in motion thats what came to mind, and I find it sad that these people can't recognize that. It seems many people on this site need to become a little more self aware.
Interesting Point of View.
Excellent animation, I like how piece together to tell a story. But, I believe, that when pursuing your dreams resolve is more important than outcome, that dreams are a double edged sword and are worth earthly suffering in the end. I would rather have peace of mind in what I did than to live day to day. Still, great, deep meaning.
Bleak-Creep responds:
I could agree with that. And I'm glad to see that people can have different views on this even when they come to the same interpretation of the story itself, that's pretty fulfilling for me.
