Loving Care (Short Film)

- A college student goes through her day to day life while caring for a virtual pet. However, when the stress of all of the work becomes too much, the virtual pet ends up being the one to take care of her...!
This was my capstone film from 2023. It's been over a year since I had made it, so I figured it was a good enough time to share it with the world. Still very proud of how it came out!
I am also making a comic involving these two characters... their story isn't quite over yet! If you're interested to see more of them, well... unfortunately it's still a work in progress. But, you can see what pages have been made so far through my Ko-fi page: ko-fi.com/peyt...
Thanks for all of the support on my little short film! If you want to see more (and help support me 🙏), you can find the sketches to the first 20 pages of the comic I'm making about these characters over on my Ko-fi... as well as tons of other content, including the 10 minute animatic to my next animated project!

honestly i thought the essay she typed was gonna be like "I like hamburgers and playing and taking bubble baths and watching plants grow :D" lol, this is really cute
in my opinion it'd be more like "ksifiwp2urhd the wvegowpa0q7euv hkejtjt kti 😄💕"
I know what "Power fantasy" is, it's when author's interpretation of perfection is fullfilling desires of said author. But what do you call a type of fantasy when all of your life's problems are solved by something outside of our boring reality?
Maybe we could call it "eudaemonic fantasy"? When you put it that way, I ended up thinking of that manga where an office worker get's taken care of by a fox girl. And both that manga and this film has a supporting partner to help manage many of their needs - self-care, relationships, and health - and problems - personal vices and flaws, and work, mainly - that allow them to not only work well, but live fulfilled at all.
Plus, both of them feature an overworked person.
@@ManDancingMoji That's a word I hadn't heard before, but it honestly sounds a lot better than a power fantasy!
@@ajregalia1334 Eudaemonia is a greek word that means fulfilled life or ultimate happiness, if I remembered correctly. I learned it recently, mostly from an ethics topic on Aristotle's Virtue Ethics.
@@ManDancingMoji i remember Helpful Fox Senko San! Super cute honestly, I loved the manga artist neighbour girl
This sort of thing is about glorifying childlikeness. Adulthood is foolishness, and immaturity is foolishness. Be mature, yet be a child. Be creative and dream, yet be disciplined enough to keep those things from staying dreams. Make it real. This ideal is what has given me the ability to make a full homemade trading card game at the age of 16.
I love how the virtual pet looks. Thicker outlines are my weakness.
Okay I have to admit, the checkovs gun of the virtual money was SUPER cool and cute, mad props.
Came from Twitter post with a clip and im so glad I watched the full film!! It's wonderfully sweet seeing the care put into this: the backgrounds, sound design and the textures of the different times of day❤
AWWWWWW. . .
That's so Adorable; The Digital Pet is now taking care of their owner; like how she took care of them!!!
i am charmed to bits by this sweet little film!
i love the sea slug character so much, their design is adorable and aa!! they're so precious and cute i just wanna squeeze em!!
i also love how all of the sea slugs motioned are accompanied by beeps and boops, that's so clever!!
i am a huge fan of this world, and i cannot wait to see these two's adventures carry on in the comments
😭😭😭 I love them. I’m sure this hits a lot of students hard. I love the pixelated design of the little slug and how you translated that into the real world! The game sound effects as it moved were so good too, just so cute and nostalgic and shows so much care for every detail. I love this little guy. I know video games for sure carried me through many an essay (and as a literature student there were a lot). Shout out to Antonio from animal crossing, you’re a real one.
You can really feel the love here; it's adorable and sweet and I can't get enough.
What an absolute delight to view in the middle of a busy few days
She is so precious, she deserves more virtual Hamburgers!
You don't know how long I've been waiting for you to post this film... And it's so cute and well animated too!! ❤️💕
I love this short film so much; it’s so sweet and adorable! The backgrounds are beautiful and I love the animation!! The sound effects add so much charm, and the music is incredible! Amazing work! 😄🩷
I wish! Nice film, thank you for sharing!
I really wanna see more of these two's adventures. It'd be a cute mini series.
Edit: Right after I typed this I saw that youre making a comic!!!
SOMEONE MAKE THIS A REAL SERIES PLS ITS TOO CUTE AND GOOD AAA
This is incredibly charming and entertaining, amazing work!
Super wholesome. Love everything about the virtual pet's animation and expression-work.
Incredibly cute! I adore little stories like this one, especially when they come in the form of bright-minded student projects!
so cute yaaay!!!!
One of the best animations on RUclips ^^
Super cute, charming animation! The gag with watering the dead plant got a good chuckle out of me, too. Nice work! :>
I think I’ve found my new favorite comfort video. ☺️
Oh my heart. This was so sweet.
This was just too cute, fantastic work~!❤️
Absolutely adorable film! I have a few friends who have gone to college, I chose not to and went straight to working instead. But every now and then, I get text from them, exhausted from their constant school work. And I am from working too, but I do have the energy and time to give them motivation and talk to them, convince them to take breaks and take care of themselves more so they don't get burnt out. So I kinda feel like I'm the tamogachi to them!
To anyone out there struggling with their school work or any other work in general, please take care of yourself and have breaks. You got this
there was something so particularly touching about this. i caught myself just on the edge of tearing up at the very end. phenomenal work, incredibly charming :)
This film is absolutely delightful and the animation is amazing! The music and sound design is really great too :D I really love your work, keep doing what you do!!
This is SO cute, and the animation is really smooth and full of life. This is an excellent short film, and I hope you got an amazing grade
i adore every second of this short
This is genuinely incredible. It's so cute!
This is so cute!!! Amazing animation keep up the good work!!!
Post the comic once it's finished on youtube PLEASE!!! This is TOO cute! 😊
the cuttesttt thingg!!!
This is adorable and heartwarming. Thank you for posting this
Absolutely brilliant! The chiptune sound design and music are so whimsical and sweet. The pet's character design is incredible. Thank you for sharing this!
Oh my gosh what a cute film!! It’s so smooth and I love the design of the virtual pet :D
This is so sweet WTF!! This makes me really excited for the comic, I’d love to see more of these guys and their friendship
4:05 This lil devil is wanted in 14 states for larceny (they stole my heart ❤)
This animation work is phenomenal, to put it simply. There are just... too many details and aspects I like about this that I could ramble on about for hours, but I think my favourite part had to be 1:42. The music progression, the darkness closing in around them, the constant flipping between day and night, their plants dying, the place continuing to get dirtier, the stress and expressions on their face and also conveyed through their movements, and that final CLASH when everything just... collapses, and hits you all at once... it was too relatable, and it reminded me once again how powerful animation is at really reaching to a person's inner emotions and mind. You crushed it with this Peyton, and I know it's been over a year since you made it, but I hope your results reflected the effort and quality of this animation and more, whicy is to say, I hope you got 1000% score :)
this film is so cute!! i love the animation, the stylization all so cute, very wholesome!
This is one of the most wholesome things I have ever seen.
As a guy headed to college and has been stressing about it, I needed this, thank you
I've pondered on how this is so underrated,even from the start
This is so cute and the animation is so pretty and fun!
