Very moving, I like it
Reviews for "10 Amazing Facts About You"
Beautiful... I think this deserves a little more time and effort on the animation.
It's great, but could've been better.
this need to be seen by all people of all ages. I think I get the idea. Basically we have one chance at life we need love, companionship and positive outlook and also buy lots of flowers to your love one. I will admit even dude like to get flowers just as much as girls.
The animation here was really well done and appealing! I also really enjoyed how the facts carried through a narrative work as well (in a very natural way.)
I do perhaps wish it moved a tiny bit faster, but that's not a big deal.
Another minor detail, is maybe a pan down at the end would've worked better, so they text could've been in front of just the sky for a while instead of moving grass (increased visibility/easier to read.)
Overall, nice job! Good luck in the competition! :)
I.. I wasn't expecting that. I mean, the happy ending was obvious, but it happened something that changed the way I perceived this animation completely. It is quite long, so I'll try to explain it the best that I can with my sometimes faulty english:
The animation does not rely on fast movements or details: its aproach with the viewer is justified by its originality. You have a unique style, and in this case it fits the story and the whole concept of the video perfectly. Despite the story being a bit typical, again, made sense as the background for the facts. And the music fits perfectly (although that cut before the end took me by surprise, it was justified by the change of colors and music)
However, it was not that what I realised. You see, you entwine very well the two aspects that run our lives: ourselves and themselves. I, and the ones that are not me. The facts start with the social aspects, pointing out the dangers of being alone, but end with facts about you as a person. Because the animation works like a clock: in that touching ending there is no movement, and so we focus all our attention at the fact: your life is for you. You are amazing. Anybody can tell you that, but how you tell it is what reaches your soul.
I started watching this and focusing in everything at the same time, but as I explained earlier, you made me focus on that. Suddenly, it all made much more sense. Because when you are at night looking at the stars, and think: we are only dust compared to the vastness of the universe... Then you can say: but my brain is the most complex object in the known universe. All I live, my life... is for me. Something that i did not make, I did not ask for this life, yet I am here, and all that has happened, it is happening or will happen it's a present, only for me. Nobody can feel exactly the same I feel, or think my thoughts. You are amazing, I am amazing, we all are, and being aware of it is incredible. That is why you pulled it off so well: without knowing it, the whole piece (because I can refer to this animation as a piece of art) prepares you to accept it, and there is nothing you can do. The sweet story loses importance compared to the fact that your life is for you.
The "you are amazing" part was not what made me write this review, it was everything before that. I am not amazing, but I can try, and maybe someone will tell it to me in the future, and it will be because I am living, and that's amazing. I couldn't stop smiling when I finished watching it. I only review when I like something a lot, because I tend to be redundant and write too much, but your work deserved it.
You are amazing. Thank you.
