I've been waiting for this work since last year. I’m 55 y.o. old man. But I can't stop crying as I remember myself 40 years ago. Thank you and Congratulations on your graduation!
awwww. :)
This made me really happy for some reason
aww
THE END PART AAAAAA OMG
ThIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR SHARING ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL FILM!!
The art look so cute but why do I fear it's going to end up being sad?
The biggest compliment I have to give is that you're amazing at creating atmosphere with colours, and you know just the right ones to use for lighting.
This broke my heart into tiny pieces and then proceeded to duct tape it back together again. (This animation is amazing the colors are so vibrant like a childhood memory❤)
Soooo beautiful
I've been waiting for this, and boy was it worth it! This is amazing! The story, the animation, the music, the voice acting are all so well done, and Kai and Leo's dynamic is so wholesome and adorable! I especially loved that little teaser at the end! Giving us assurance that they reunite when they're older! I would absolutely love to see more of these two!
Can't believe it's the same two from your other film! It's a bit nostalgic seeing Kai and Leo again after all this time, it feels like growing up with them a bit xD Glad to see they're still in each other's lives, no matter what.
This captures such a real and intense feeling that I personally and probably many others have felt. The ending, to me, somehow adds a dimension of time to it as well - as intense as it feels, to be separated from a friend by distance, especially for the first time, it can also be such a fleeting fear as the friendship grows into something that even geography can't shake. This was both heartbreaking and healing to watch, thank you for sharing
I remember watching Summer Roads and loving the plot and art style, so when I saw this was a continuation of those characters and their story I was so excited to watch this!
Amazing work once again!!!!
OH MY GOSHHHHHH THE LAST TWO SHOTS PLEASEEE OH MY GOSH LOOK AT THE BABIES ALL GROWN UP i've fallen in love with these characters. and this art feels like a warm summer afternoon in childhood, so so extremely strongly. and i'm just obsessed. such a great job. such incredible work.
This feels like ghibli and vewn + a little smth extra. I adore it!
The continuation of summer roads is so fun!! and they stayed friends as they grew up!!! Congrats on your thesis! And thanks for sharing it with us!
i remember seeing summer roads a couple years ago and was delighted to see a sequel! beautiful work, i love the nuance and beauty of it!
My best friend moved away when the summer before 6th grade and this made me think of her, I hope she's doing well
AHHH The progress from Summer Roads!!
This is AWESOME!!!! I KNEW staying subscribed was a good idea 🤩
Congrats on graduating!!!! 👏👏💃🥳🎉
This feels like weaponized whimsy (im using whimsy instead of childhood because i believe these emotions can happen at any age and im not using nostalgia cuz nostolgia is a bi-product of your memory making the past seem better than what it really was like.)
The background music is calm
The colours feel pure
The relationship between the characters is so close
This feels like the anti-thesis of stressful, polluted shallow-bonds life.
This feels like the idealisation people think back to with nostolgia
That investment of course then leads to the audience being invested in the climax
The only thing i can comment on about the climax is that im interested in how it wasnt a problem that had to be solved, it waa a problem that had to be endured. And thus we were see these characters lives change. We were seeimg these characters gtown and live their lives
AHH!! i knew i recognized these two!!! such a sweet film, one of my favorites this year. keep at it man!
Beautiful work ❤. I love the little beat at the end. An acquaintance once told me “adult friendships are so hard to navigate.” And it’s so true. That’s why I don’t have any. But I loved this short film.
何年も待ってました、とても嬉しいです🎀
This is so heartwarming. The whole animation smells like summer. It's gorgeous. Thank you for making this and sharing it. Have a wonderful day.
OMG HIIII
IS SO CUTE THW ANIMATION ILOOVEEE
MAN IM CRYING WITH THE END 😭😭😭
Definitely not crying right now… this was so beautiful ! thank you for creating it you are an amazing artist and creator in general
surprisingly managed to pop up in my feed again!! i really love the story and relationship between the two, and the art makes my heart feel so light and warm
We all have been waiting for this and Im really happy. I love your work so much. I hope Leo's and Kai's story will continue with all the emotions. You worked hard, and every single person who worked on this. Was worth waiting, thank youu💗💗
I'm a 64yo lady who is now discovering digital art and this short film has got be crying. It's so well done. Respect!
this is so special. ur an amazing storyteller and i’ve enjoyed all ur animations of these two throughout the years! congrats on graduating and i hope u will continue to share what u will make next :]
Thank you for peeling away my many years, I got to go back to the magic of boyhood and the feel of a best friend. It touched all my senses somehow even the smell of his room. For me keeping my boy alive and close by has made life richer especially as I watched my own sons growing up often piled in a heap like pups. Kia and Leo are tender creatures, I'm glad you introduced me to the boys and their beauty.
OMG this is genuinely amazing! The intention behind the characters is incredibly well portrayed, the story and emotions are realistic and super well-handled in general, and the use of space and color is just fantastic!! This is genuinely really really good, you should be proud!!!!
i just found your channel today and you're already one of my favorite artist ever. i've fallen in love with these characters and the cozy feeling of your animations ( i watched this one today and immediately went to watch your other videos). you're way of storytelling has captured my heart. this has made my day, truly it has.
The way you animate the storytelling and the colors everything is nostalgic can’t wait for the next part
this was so beautiful and the emotion conveyed through the story was incredible! it has such a ghibli esque feel to it that is really comforting. great work!
Bro I’m literally crying 😭😭 everything is amazing the art style the story EVERYTHING !!!!
THESE ARE SO PEACEFUL AND CALMING AND SUMMERY I LOVE IT
Gosh I wanted soooo much this continuation! Thank you! The animation is so cute and the characters too! ❤❤
Such an elegant and simplistic work! I really like the colours and framing here, and it's also cool how you accented Kai's loneliness and isolation with the spaces where they ran and laughed, now being empty
And the story is nice too, im surprised but it actually brought a tear to my eye, in such a short time
Great animated movie!
Man, this hits so hard in the feels, especially now as the weather warms and summer nears. The background scenes were so pretty! I can see how much love was put into it. It really takes me back to the summers in the early 2000s when our main sources of entertainment were reading books and playing outside LOL. I started thinking about my friends who I used to play with in my neighborhood before I moved away in elementary school-some of whom I’ve been able to reunite with and some of whom I don’t think I’ll ever see again-and I lowkey started tearing up thinking about how quickly time’s flown and things have changed, haha.
I loved the attention to detail and symbolism in here so much too! The sound design was so good!! Like especially the sounds of nature and the clanking of their footsteps as they climbed the plane. I noticed that the plane was the same as the one Leo had as a toy in one of your prior short films too! That was such a cute callback, haha.
I’m so glad I finally got around to watching your film after work today. 🥲 THE WORLD IS SO MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL WITH YOUR ART IN IT. 😭 I’M SO PROUD OF YOU, TIFFANY!! CONGRATS ON GRADUATING!!! ❤️
Im 26 years old and i usually dont get emotional over fictional stuff but as someone who moved around alot growing up due to my parents job and losing many friends because of it this made me cry. Beautiful work, thank you for creating this.
I’ve been waiting for this for so long!!! Congrats on getting it done and graduating!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!! how can you make someone so attached to characters in literally 7 minutes?!
Hell yes! I love your animations, and I'm so glad to see the continuation of their story ^^ this is beautiful
What a wonderful film. Thank you for sharing and reminding everybody how important friendship is.
this reminds me of My Neighbour Totoro for some reason, :> the artstyle is so cute and the backgrounds are so gooddddd
I love your films! They are so sweet and a little sad. Looking forward to their next meeting! Thank you for your hard work. ❤
