Absolutely stunning animation, so fluid and colors are beautiful. This has me thinking if there's more meaning than what's shown at surface level. Great job, keep it up!
I just went through heartbreak and I have to say this film feels like that metaphor for me. finally getting something, thinking "this is it", only for it to be snatched away. you dwell on what was, and go through every step of grief. everything around you stops, you beg for it back, you feel anger, and then eventually acceptance as you let it go. the sunsets of life are bittersweet, somehow beautiful but painful. you take what you learned from it and create something better, you find yourself and grow
I love the way you explain the short film, it sounds so poetic, although I'm sorry to hear you went through that heartbreak, but let me just say that I can't help but notice how your eyes emit a beautiful green like precious emeralds, as if they are radiant gemstones filled with spring's light and energy allowing you to see the wonder in every scene you write. I just had to say that.
Funny how the youtube algorhythm is pushing this short back to the shore now. Absolutely lovely work. The delicacy of all her movements and expressions, the elegance of the lineless look (one of my favorite looks in 2D animations), the Porco Rosso-esque color palette, the nod to the legendary Father & Daughter... So many things work wonders in this short. Hard to imagine that this is a student's work. Looking forward to what you're going to do later on (or even now. We're already 3 years afterwards. Hope you could find a good job befitting your skill in the animation industry)
I think it was Orson Welles who said the best film is a lucid dream. This piece captures that blurring of the real, super-real, surreal, and dream. Opulent colors, fantastic detail without being finicky. Colors glow, beyond what the sea and the shore are capable of. All without a word of dialog. Just absolutely wonderful.
Dang I would’ve thought by the views this was newly fresh only to realize it was made 2 years ago. It’s absolutely gorgeous and thanks to my recommendations for this one.
This is a masterpiece! I can feel the emotion through every aspect of its production. The small acting gestures, the story pacing, the music especially, everything! It's all a masterpiece!
I watched this on the steam during the San Diego International Film Festival. You had some stiff competition. But this short stood out to me as the one that should have taken best short award. Absolutely stunning work.
I love how her hair length changes show the passage of time. She had that red boat for a good long time and then in the end her cut hair shows another time skip. Amazing work!
The 3D animated shots blend way too well with this film. It's really stunning to see such visuals bleed together; especially with the way the water is animated. This, in addition to the nearly line-less art style, is really gorgeous to say the least. I'm genuinely captivated by the character's story, emotions, and connection with what I can only describe as her only friend. Marvelous job to the team that worked on this! I would love to see more, if there's any in store, for the future! Cheers! ✨💖✨
I don’t know whether I liked the movement of the waves when she was helpless at 4:37-5:05 or the way the sun hits her after the storm at 5:33 more lol. I could never imagine having the bravery to animate the ocean cause it seems so overwhelming and yet here it is. Really great job, I can see the passion put in here ❤️
Man, I wish art and animation styles closer to this were more common in larger productions. The character design, the mixed methods, the colour theory, it's all so beautiful. Even with a totally different soundscape, I'd watch something led by this creator
This to me reminds me of the pain and fear of being forced to leave behind your beautiful light filled childhood as you start a new chapter of life in the adult world. It's a tough battle of realization with a harsh feeling of loss to encompass it. Learning to embrace your new world as an adult is the most beautiful part about this, as that embrace does not mean completely starting anew, but taking with you the precious memories and lessons you learned as a child and incorporating those into your life. All is not forgotten, and it is the memories that make our lives full of nostalgia and beauty. We do not need to ever completely leave our childhood behind to grow up. We simply need to embrace the change and remain true to who we are and remember our roots. I feel like this is just the type of thing I needed to see.
I cry cos of how hard I try, but the feeling inside never dies. So I come back stronger and wiser now I reach goals that are higher. Awesome animation.
We treat our first steps, first experiences,first artwork, first success, our first job, our first dream as close and dear into our hearts that when life take it away it is devastating. Almost feeling hopeless to try again. Being lost and grieving to what is lost is all part of the process. We give up and felt like there's no anymore hope to continue. But maybe the things we've lost is the one who'll bring us into much better place to try again. As we bring our memories of our first, we go forward to the next, better and maybe a little bit wiser. We won't know how many loss is on the way but the possibility of rebuilding and seeing our growth along the way is there. What a great reminder through this animation. 😭
Such a captivating animation and it almost felt like surreal. The animation blends in with the story so well, and I could feel and see the emotion of the story as they convey through my eyes. Overall, this animation is a brilliant masterpiece that deserves the audience's applause.
Hello! This animation is so beautiful and gorgeous, its amazing!! I think that this animation has more to the inner meaning than the surface level story. That girl shown here may depict someone who is trying to hold on to a loved one and is trying her best to get them to get better ( like repairing the boat), or maybe she has lost a loved one and is still trying to hold on to their memory and is not able to let them go and move on. The boat is that loved one and this animation might symbolize the trials and tribulations of life ( the storm) related to the loss of somebody very dear to us. She goes through many hardships, not being able to let them go she only has their memory left and is trying to just hold on to it. But at last when the boat is swept away and broken down by the storm, she has to let them go and faces grief and depression too. At last when we see that she has cut her hair short and made a new boat, it means that she has fully moved on but holds on a piece of her loved one ( the piece of boat, which symbolizes a memory I think). I can be wrong, but this is just my perception of the meaning of this video. I tried my best to explain lol sorry if my explanation is bad, English is not my first language.
Beautiful piece 😊, kinda giving me the vibes of " No matter how much time you spend to create something, you should know how to let go of it (gone/dead/vanished) and move forward to a new fresh start". That's how life works "Moving forward".
Yeah, I very nearly did when she was just looking at the huge wave coming at her and not doing anything. To be honest I thought she was dead the moment she woke up on the boat, and that it was some sort of afterlife analogy.
Really love this short, especially the atmosphere, and the way the pace holds when she's grieving her boat. Idk if it's intentional or not, but the scene where she use a piece of the old boat as a part of the new one reminds me of the philosophical thought experiment; Ship Of Theseus. I think it's a really brilliant short film
This is genuinely one of the most beautiful short films I've seen in recent years. Glad I took the time to watch this. The way I see it, this is someone who is persistent in what she does to achieve her goals. Keep moving forward, even when it's painful. Incredible work!
If you replace every piece of a boat, is it still the same boat? Was it ever the same, from one moment to the next? Maybe the familiarity is what makes it the same at all. Maybe it is only a different boat when you replace its place in your heart.
This animation style is something to behold, as are the soundtrack! Reminds me of how Japanese anime and Walt Disney once had the same style, and both left and took something good with them. But now they're back together :)
Amazing work. I could have watched a feature-length movie of the heroine just doing her every day chores like in the first third. It was so beautiful to look at and so relaxing!
Someone, something saved you. And then you lost them. You had to let go. But that doesn't you have to let go of the good memories. Use them to build and inspire a better future.
My cat died, and this feels like home especially somewhere in the middle after the boat left her onshore and she stared into the sunrise. Thank you very much. Love the video
Randomly getting recommended this 🔥🔥🔥🔥 WE MAKING IT ONTO THE BOAT WITH THIS AMAZING WORK OF ART! You guys created something amazing, horrendously underrated.
Absolutely amazing. What a stunning animation; everything works so well. Water fluidity, the wind, and ominous waves. All together perfect work, you should be proud.
A sadness i would i have felt if i was still a kid and lost something, and it's something i DID feel at one point in the past. I like how the ships on the beach represent those who came before the girl, in a way showing that she wasn't the first and won't be the last, and how the boats in the ocean show what she wants, but first she had to experience what it means for it to come full circle. this way she has a deeper appreciation for what she has. Something many people learn through life experience. This is just my opinion. I don't know if you had this interpretation in mind, but either way it is a very good story. I enjoyed watching it.
I think it's increadible how within just the first minutes I already got emotionally attached to the protagonist. Her self-contained, simple but pleasurable life has such a sentimental beauty to it, how she found happiness in complete solitude doing something she clearly love, something that satisfies her even at the cost of being absolutely and completely alone. I truly felt her pain during the climax. I am truly speechless, I don't know what to say. This was simply a masterfully written story. With the reacurring element of that drawing of her and the first red boat. How, without any usage of spoken words we can imediatly understand how simple yet beatifully full of life her daily life is. The impact of the storm coming closer and the emotionally charged moment of her losing the red boat, but not it's memory because she still had that drawing, that simbolized the conection they had. I am just rambling at this point but I just wanted to say that this is truly an achievement, it's not easy to make the viewer so emotionally attached to an inanimate object like that. This has simply way too many positives, I didn't evem mentioned the stellar animations, really amazing 👏👏
I'm not clear on whether it was already het boat or whether she adopted it because the wind and her hat led her to it. Edits: : On second thought it was nobody's boat, she adopted it. Probably the best-made water in motion I ever saw, a pleasure to look at.
Absolutely stunning animation, so fluid and colors are beautiful. This has me thinking if there's more meaning than what's shown at surface level. Great job, keep it up!
yes!, the color palette ist so very good!!
It’s life
Life is but a dream
row... row... row your boat
Please tell me how to make animated vedios

This is an absolutely beatiful interpretetion, I didn't manage to discover the message myself, so thanks for this!
…🗿

but let me just say that I can't help but notice how your eyes emit a beautiful green like precious emeralds, as if they are radiant gemstones filled with spring's light and energy allowing you to see the wonder in every scene you write.
I just had to say that.
Why is this so underrated? The animation for this is absolutely gorgeous! Love how well incorporated the 3D elements are with the 2D ones!
Agreed, it's definitely worth at *least* a million views, if not more.
You have to run into it to view it, as I did just now!
Funny how the youtube algorhythm is pushing this short back to the shore now.
Absolutely lovely work. The delicacy of all her movements and expressions, the elegance of the lineless look (one of my favorite looks in 2D animations), the Porco Rosso-esque color palette, the nod to the legendary Father & Daughter... So many things work wonders in this short.

I see what you did there.
The algorithm recommend ed this to me too

波の音、カモメ?の鳴き声、かわりゆく天気、遥か大海原の地平線。少女が一人。セリフは一切ないものの、見る者に十分な想像力を与えてくれる良作だと思います。ありがとうございます。何度も見たくななります。

That boat was love, and the boat was life. Also, this was such a beautiful and heartwarming animation film of yours.

Clearly a labor of love. Took me somewhere magical.
Beautiful and immersive. I swear, when those drops of rain hit the sand at 4:11 I could _smell_ it.

"For the first time in my life.....
I'm in loss for words"
the distant rumbling of the thunder with just the absence of the soundtrack that was always there. sheeet man.
shivers
I cry cos of how hard I try, but the feeling inside never dies. So I come back stronger and wiser now I reach goals that are higher.
Awesome animation.
It is like looking at a beautiful landscape painting.
We treat our first steps, first experiences,first artwork, first success, our first job, our first dream as close and dear into our hearts that when life take it away it is devastating.

What a great reminder through this animation. 😭
Such a beautiful portrayal of story and emotions! I enjoyed every little bit of this! Thank you, and beautiful work!
Such a captivating animation and it almost felt like surreal. The animation blends in with the story so well, and I could feel and see the emotion of the story as they convey through my eyes. Overall, this animation is a brilliant masterpiece that deserves the audience's applause.
this video has so many layers of emotion.

this animation is absolutely stunning! I don’t know why it’s so underrated, but this deserves so much more attention.
She is absolutely precious... and the animations are beautiful too! Also was relieved at the ending, I was worried for a few moments.
I love the atmosphere. It was so graceful to look at and gave expression to the scene!
This feels like it was made with love
めちゃくちゃ良いやん！
なんでこんなに再生数少ないのかもわからんしなんで急におすすめに出たかもわからんけど最高でした！
This film was, fantastic. Just stunning!!
So beautiful! I really love how the colour becomes washed out because of the storm and the change in emotion
Dude. This is amazing. You’ve told an insanely good story without even one line of dialogue
you know an animation is good when it makes you want to cry
Yeah, I very nearly did when she was just looking at the huge wave coming at her and not doing anything. To be honest I thought she was dead the moment she woke up on the boat, and that it was some sort of afterlife analogy.
Really love this short, especially the atmosphere, and the way the pace holds when she's grieving her boat.

Why can't i like this more than once?
This is genuinely one of the most beautiful short films I've seen in recent years. Glad I took the time to watch this. The way I see it, this is someone who is persistent in what she does to achieve her goals. Keep moving forward, even when it's painful. Incredible work!

This beautiful short film shows both the story of a determined girl fisherman and can be seen as a metaphor. Great work.
This animation style is something to behold, as are the soundtrack!
Reminds me of how Japanese anime and Walt Disney once had the same style, and both left and took something good with them. But now they're back together :)
Out of all the 2D shorts I’ve seen on RUclips, this and Colourful take the cake for the vibrant art style and atmosphere I’ve seen. Well done!
Amazing work. I could have watched a feature-length movie of the heroine just doing her every day chores like in the first third. It was so beautiful to look at and so relaxing!
I have no words other than stunning and gorgeous. i cant describe how beautiful this is
why did it take RUclips 2 YEARS to recommend this!?!?!! ITS SO GOOOD IT GAVE MY EYES DIABETTES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Someone, something saved you. And then you lost them. You had to let go. But that doesn't you have to let go of the good memories. Use them to build and inspire a better future.
this is such a wonderful thesis!
The boat is symbolism for loved ones. fucking bittersweet. heck you for making me feel emotions >:(
My cat died, and this feels like home especially somewhere in the middle after the boat left her onshore and she stared into the sunrise. Thank you very much. Love the video
Why aren't you recognize by the world yet this is truly beautiful
No matter how much you've loss, theres always a piece of them left
Randomly getting recommended this 🔥🔥🔥🔥
WE MAKING IT ONTO THE BOAT WITH THIS AMAZING WORK OF ART! You guys created something amazing, horrendously underrated.
I would love to watch a whole movie of her boat.... splendid animation...
woah!! that was absolutely stunning!!
It's very beautiful, this short film is inspired by Makoto Shinkai's your name andStudio Trigger from the series NBA animal city !
A very stunning piece of work. Great character design and animation.
This is one of those that is gold that is just never see what it deserve
The algorithm is the wave, returning this video to our recommendations after it was lost to time. Truly stunning animation♥.
Best animation. A girl in nature is beautiful.
very well done. congratulations on finishing this beautiful film.
Absolutely amazing. What a stunning animation; everything works so well. Water fluidity, the wind, and ominous waves. All together perfect work, you should be proud.
Красивая анимация, с красивой девушкой и морем ' )
It’s life, it’s loss, it’s transformation and reinvention. The indomitable human spirit
Wow the style and the color are so gorgeous, I love it !
I can watch this animation for hours
I really thought that she died from the tsunami.
I love the art style and the animation is so smooth with the sound.
Fantatic piece, this is what should be shown to all those thinking about learning animation. Amazing work!
This reminded me of a friend I used to have named Hannah. I hope she’s well.
it is insane how badly I want her life. The first two minutes of this film was my dream come true
That was beautiful animation story thank you. :)
素晴らしい！！
こういう作風好き！！
This is underrated, needs more views.
Being on you’re own ship really is the best feeling
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you.
The harmony of colors makes me feel comfortable❤
so lovely, i love the motion, color, sound, so beautiful animation, great work

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! I loved every second…just beautifully done.
Wonderful, absolutely stunning!!
Lovely, dreamy animation
Really amazing!!! It fills me with a lot of peace
Such a beautifully made animation. How did this not get a million views?
Every aspect of this work is exceptional, bravo!
Cute design, blush_stickers are always a good tag. Also like water, this was cozy

On second thought it was nobody's boat, she adopted it.
Probably the best-made water in motion I ever saw, a pleasure to look at.
why doesnt this have millions of views? RUclips DO YOUR THING FFS
this is beautiful. i loved how vast and dynamic you made the ocean from massive waves to none at all
WHY THE HELL DID I CRY WHEN SHE STARTED CRYING 😭😭 THIS IS RLLY GOOD
I think the RUclips algorithm might have just found another wonder that has been hidden for a couple years lol. Was a great animation!
I can already tell by the first seconds that’s it’s going to be amazing.
Thanks RUclips best recommendation ever in my whole life ❤
This needs way more attention than it has now! Wonderful job on everything!
This is a beautiful story, It almost has me crying
Best animation ever. I'm guessing you won if this was a competition. Very amazing art!
Lovely. Rise, fall, rise again.
This feels so clean and cozy at the same time :)
Absolutely gorgeous animation loved it!!!!
