I'm not good at this whole reviewing thing, so I don't do it often, but this video was amazing. The reversal of roles was a nice touch, too. His friend helped him through depression, and in the end, he helped the friend through depression.
Reviews for "The Weight"
This was great it really made me think about some people I should talk to who probably need talking to
It was, the best thing ever! Good Job Man
Touching.
I saw the video first and read the description later. So regarding the paragraph about the story, I believe you did everything just right. The animation is simplistic but lovable, the music fits perfectly and the lack of more background story for the characters doesn't bother me at all - it's perfect this way, seriously.
It's a short video, yes, but filled with emotion and delivers a strong message. I loved it because you can relate to it easily if you have, or have had, someone dear to you (a friend, a girl/guy, a family member...). It's my opinion that you did a great job all around.
So ,yeah, it's pretty much perfect. Keep up the good work.
What a great animation!! It's very sad tough..
