the way you managed to achieve a senses of weight without the use of any form of squash and stretch in the majority of the frames is so admirable
0:20 is literally some of the best animation I’ve seen in a while, the fluidity and anatomy and just how smooth it is amazes me, you’ve got yourself a new subscriber <3
It’s so good 😭 you animated things that are notoriously hard to do, like fabric folds, hands, and rotating heads — props to you!!
you portrayed the achedemic stress so beautifully, it looks so aesthetically pleasing -- thank you for the effort and time you put into this <3
That pose at 0:19 👍😉 I watched this a few months ago and remembered it when the song came on shuffle - great work :)
That hit me so hard, wasn't expecting something I could relate to... The doodles at the beginning and the font style, as well as the description make clear that this animation is about school and how it affects our mental health : ”If I worked harder back then, would I be happier today?” I think she's been working hard during her childhood, always getting great grades (0:07 is (i think) her looking back at how successful she was back then). But as time goes on, it keeps getting harder to work and to get good results. 0:10 definitely shows her struggling to understand something, probably a homework since she's got a pencil in her hand. The part from 0:12 to the end of the animation is the one that hits me the most : we can clearly notice symptoms of a burnout : she struggles to work, but she has to keep going, so she keeps trying even though it hurts, which makes the symptoms even worse. People are only interested in success, they don't see that you are suffering. 0:28 made me so emotional, at the end we all become prisoners of our own hard work (the pencil) : people have too many expectations. We no longer work for our own good, we work for these people, and it just keeps killing our mental health. Do we still have control over our decisions ? Or do the other people control us ? I completely relate to this interpretation, I've been working hard my whole life to try and achieve my goals, but it keeps getting harder. Today I still don't know if I'm going to make it... I also feel like I don't want to work like this : i want to have friends, i want to find love, i want to be happy and enjoy life, but I'm a "prisoner of the pencil" after all... what I want is not what people care about... (sorry i had to finally get this off my chest lol) Sorry for my terrible english, and thanks for reading ! This is only my interpretation of the animation, I may be completely wrong lol
I really like the ending bc to me it signifies that the strings binding her, are ones she drew herself! It kinda shows how gifted and smart kids bound themselves up in a mindset of win or lose, and now that she’s older, she has no choice but to draw more strings that control her with her own pen. Real cool animation!!!
Gooooollyyy, it’s sooo well made! I really like the composition, if I can say so. Of course, I’m not a professional, but I see that the result looks just great! Those cooool movements…I’m in love. And, gosh, I LOVE your art style so MUCH! Good luck with animations and art!
Can't stop replaying the "call me fighter" part, the spin is extremely well done and I love the ending pose! It's definitely one of those animations I save to come back to later it's great!
Damn, this brings in the feels for me. How literally good this is, and how the story is portrayed. Or maybe I’m just too interpretive lol
0:31 That's how i hold my pencils!!
oh my god i'm in love. the poses are flawless! i especially love the way you draw hands and hair, too. well done!!
Why do i like this part so muchhhh 0:11
This is incredible! The color scheme, the animation, the story, EVEN THE SONG IS PERFECT. Is awesome! I hope one day to reach this level of skill <3
The way you use the colors, the way you draw and everything is just incredible! I'm so happy to find another artist that inspires me!
This animation is so good!! I love the way the animation was made, I love your style and overall it’s just so nice, this must’ve taken so long, thank you for continuing to make such great animations :D
i cant stop coming back to this
I CANT GET OVER THE SPIN TO THE “call me fighter!” PART OMGGGG YOU DID AMAZING 😭✨💕
Я читал комментарии и хочу выделить кое-что. В этой анимации заложен не только стресс от учебы, но что-то ещё. Это постоянное рвение за кем-то, за чем-то убивает просто изнутри. Когда ты пытаешься во всю доказать что ты тоже умеешь ты тоже сможешь, ты лишь получаешь плевок в лицо и ничего больше. Ты пытаешься доказать что ты чего то стоишь. Ты боец, который сражается за своё достоинство и имя. Я не могу выразить то как эта анимация осталась в моей душе. Я к ней возвращаюсь снова и снова. Прекрасная работа.
