    5 years for 623 views and 1 comment. Just shows how stupidly unfair the internet is. Someone opens surprise eggs and gets 300 million views.. for 90 seconds of opening a few eggs that cost $5. Meanwhile, how many of these are out there? How many artists work so hard... It's just not fair.
    5 years before it gets deemed worth of showing up on anyone's feed, finally. Well, a subscriber and comment #2 for the algorithm. Best of luck.

      Hahaha, thank you very much for your thoughtful comment and for nudging the algorithm in my favor, it is truly appreciated. Filmmakers may never reach the popularity of influencers, but comments like your make it all worth it in the end, so keep making the Internet a better place!

    Nicely done. As someone else pointed out, utterly banal videos gain millions of views, yet little gems like this are overlooked and underappreciated. Well done to all involved.

    I enjoyed watching this and wanted this to be longer, it's good to have all side's of the Reaper explored as death is not just a collector of souls but is judge jury and executioner who has the power to send those souls to where they are needed the most! Thanatos (death/the reaper) a very interesting character. 👍

    • @AlexandreMullen
      @AlexandreMullen  9 месяцев назад +1

      I agree with you. In fact, we explored the idea of making a web series to further explore the character, but, alas, life got in the way. Thanks for watching and for your kind words!

      If he is interested, the "Incarnations of Immortality" series of books that begins with "On a Pale Horse" by Piers Anthony, is very good. It would actually be a very good series to do as a web-series, as all the stories are inter-weaved, as the reader finds out as the book-series goes along. Death, Time, the three aspects of Fate (Clotho weaves the threads of life, Lachesis measures them out, and Atropos cuts them) War, Satan, and apparently God.
      I realise only now (writing this) that I have missed "Under a Velvet Cloak" about the Incarnation of Night, Nix. (gotta see if Indigo has it)

    Very nicely and professionally done. Was expecting Death to quicken the little one's passing to relieve his suffering. But to remove the cancer and give life .... excellent.
    As commented, took a long time to get a couple of views and the odd comment. I am a fan of Terry Pratchett's "Death character" and there are a few videos on RUclips (mainly animations) with Death such as the "Death Fails" videos.

    Superb little film. Great story, well acted, and fabulous production. This little film deserves so much MORE appreciation!
    I was amused that we had to suspend belief - using bullets against an entity with no soft tissue? Huh? 😂 I loved it, and DEATH as the Hero in the fight against cancer - genius! 💙

      And even death is selective enough to kill only a small errant part of you giving you life. On borrowed time though because everything is eventual and nobody gets out alive.

      6 months ago, before the algorithm did its magic, we barely had 600 views, so from my perspective, 12 000 is a minor miracle. 😄
