That was legit frightening. The best looking horror short in the jam.
Reviews for "Prison of the Clairvoyant"
The fact that this only has 296 views is a crime! The animation is so fluid, the use of space sells the ominous vibe, and the weird world this is in is so bizarre and I love it! It was so atmospheric and again the ominous vibe slowly begins to creep in on us as the story progresses, and by the end we're wondering "what was that?" And possibly do the objects and settings in this story symbolize something and is this all a metaphor for something? The kind of endings that make people go into discussions about the meaning, I love, and this really sells it! Lovely Job!
This is incredible! Beautiful to watch and very interesting concept. Amazing job!
I think the message is clear enough for anyone who think 3 dimensionally. Depression, lack of sleep, fear, nightmares, childhood memories, destiny, various area of the mind such as the analytical, the clever, the inner child...
... all parts of the Id.
The clairvoyant, (if such a thing existed) would be a prisoner of their own mind. A prisoner of the past, present, and future. As such the clairvoyant would be unable to slumber, even though they desperately need it, as their fear of the prison of slumber would force them to feel as though they have to take drastic measures to stay awake... like self-mutilation and excrutiating pain.
As aforementioned... the message is plain to see, to those who can see it. :-)
Depression is a heck of a thing. Perhaps one should see a mental health professional if they are seeing and feeling such a way as this.
Holy shit, this is fucking beautiful.
