Reviews for "Summer"
I once heard a boy from 12-15 say that he didn't want to grow up anymore, that he didn't want to be an adult.
damn...

We can't stop growing old, but growing *up* is something we can control. Never lose that inner child, man.
Damn.
Damn... That feeling. Love the atmosphere, the sounds and light. Great job!
Saw this on my subscriber feed and I went "Who is this again?" Watched the clip, and was like, "that's nice." I looked back at your work at why I'm following you. "Just Drive". Right. This guy. That animation still gives me chills at how good it is by the way. So I gave this a second watch. A much closer one. The anatomy wasn't particularly extraordinary, kinda simple. The action was simple too, but remembering that, I was able to see what makes this really special to me now. You have an immense skill for space and lighting. Your objects feel as natural to look at as real life. I didn't question the car as an animation at all. I didn't question the light AT ALL. Your skill is so high quality to my eye that I DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE IT. And not just light. I can feel the wind moving around that hand, but I never would have realized it without a second viewing. Your work blows my mind dude. Never stop.
Edit: I'm watching it about a dozen times now, and I'm seeing all kinds of stuff. Some bad, a lot of good. I don't think I've ever felt so invested in scrutinizing a piece before.
