Throughout the flick, there's no explanation to the blue spirit things and other plot points, but they don't at all disrupt the beauty and perfection of it.
When the music and background noise compelling, the blend of cgi with a artistic hand painted flair is astounding, and the atmosphere is so haunting that the lack of explanation in the story doesn't anger you but highly intrigues you so.....
THAT is masterful animation.
I like the singing in the beginning so much!!!
Its just so awesome..!
So for those who didn't understand what was said:
Girl: "There's enough wind for us to go!"
Dad: "I'm staying... with your mother. Leave without us. Go."
Girl: "I don't want to go without you!"
How do you know what they said?
Imma french gurl :3 That's how I know ^-^
French! Oh wow that's cool! :-D
Thanks :3 It's quite handy, I can watch two times more videos ^-^
MiniMizzie24 French is such a 'pretty'-sounding language, if you will---and I mean that in a POSITIVE-way! Just wish I'd taken more time in my schooling as a youth, and learned more about it, it seems to 'flow' so beautifully off the tongue, at least to me...☺!
Amazing animation, at times I couldn't tell if it was 2D, 3D or a painting.
This is BEAUTIFUL why hasn't anyone hired the creators to make a movie or a series with that style of CG.
Upon the world that broke and twine,
Where cloud that wrought to void the shine.
Beckon life that the girl would meet,
Of world below the crumble greet.
Strand of pool of mystic blue,
That bore a strange and imminent true.
Where water wash the ruin world,
Shall sail above the cloudly hurl.
Edit: A repost in thought the original was deleted.
this poem is very good, upset it rhymes tho.
Elizabeth Ray Care to explain :-)
Cedric Scorch when I was younger I would love to write poems, and I still do. My 3rd grade teacher made us write a winter poem, that HAD to rhyme. so I worked on it for a while, I was so frustrated. I finally finished and i thought it was really good, then... my teacher scolded me. so I never seemed to like rhymes ever again, but I do think it is a GREAT talent for people who can do rhyming poems that ARE good. And it is a good poem, sorry I dont like rhymes!
Elizabeth Ray It's alright. Everyone has their taste. If by chance you still have the winter poem of yours. I would like to read it.
Cedric Scorch no, sorry she took. I thought it was good... :^(
You guys should tell Disney how to make movies. I'm sure they could learn a lot from you! This animation was so intense.. emotional. It got everything and more of what Disney lacks these days..
Almost every one of there movies is about drama or they f**k up a old story before they release it.
Tangled: Rapunzel leaves the safety of her life from an evil witch to love a thief.
Cinderella(American Form)(And almost every other Disney movie: Girl loves a guy, or a guy from hard times loves a more easy timed girl.
Princess and The Frog: Little bit different. Girl falls into a problem, guy helps with it and they fall in love.
So, I don't even think Disney had old times.
***** What about Bambi that was pretty original, or Beauty and the Beast that wasn't such a typical love story.
I'm not the Bambi type of guy.
I think this is something like brave
People are making disney seem so bad they have their share of great movies like lilo and stitch that movie was quite beautiful if you ask me it was emotional too also treasure planet fantasic movie beautifully animated sword in the stone and a sad movie called the hunchback of Norte dame that one was powerful in emotional levels don't forget mulan Tarzan plus disney has a fair share of sad powerful moments
I was nearly in tears at the end. Please, please, PLEASE, for the love of all that is bright and sunny say that you're planning on making this into a feature-length movie! Or a series perhaps... well I'm sure you're planning it all so I don't need to tell you what to do!
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING ANIMATION I'VE EVER SEEN. MY GOSH
AND THE GIRL LOOKS ABSOLOUTLEY GORGEOUS
Why would someone dislike this masterpiece!?!?!
Because they don't get it...
Noel Josef Hautea I don't get it.
***** There wasn't much. And it isn't so much about a message.
Acuaser Drawmaster My thoughts exactly.
Because not everybody are easily impressed and like form over substance ?
Sorry but visual porn can take you only so far, at some point you have to put some story or some sort of narrative into the video, this one lacks that.
You can enjoy as long as the girl is alone, but when they start talking the video instantly falls apart, with no backstory, no characterization, no character development or any additional information on whats going on you are left with only questions and no answers. What are the glowing thingies, whats the meaning of the talisman, why he wants to kill her, does he want to kill her ? Why are they flying, why the city is destroyed, is this the flood of the millennium ? IS there anywhere to go ? Why build that thing in a low positioned region, and so on and so on.
Also its boring as shit.
Proof that some of the best CGI work in the world can be found on RUclips.
i love the art used.
this movie and its theme, story, characters, the whole works needs to be invested in my either Disney or dreamworks. its far too beautiful for it not to be made into a full length movie or series.
I love the backgrounds! it gives it a more natural look than most cgi short films
independent animations like this don't get enogh credit or attention. I say that we promote these gems as much as we can and share them with the world because these are works of art.
I agree, the 7 minutes of this short made me more emotional than watching the entire 2 hours of Frozen.
Same here.
Its Videos like this that makes me wish that the like button could be replaced with an a "Thank you so much for putting the effort,heart and soul into making something really special, please continue to express and inspire us all *handshake* *hug*" button.
that button would be best button
Utterly breathtaking visuals and music to match it. AWESOME JOB
I remember watching this video a few years ago. While trying to find videos to watch earlier today, I decided to look through the 2,600 videos I liked over the years. I finally stumbled across this one again and I do not regret it one bit. I love the music in this animation, which helps to actually make me feel something even though this is pretty old.
A Masterpiece! It is that simple to understand.
The blend of the 2D paintings and animations with the 3D modeled characters is so well done and the music really sets the mood of the setting. I couldn't stop to wonder though, that this would be a great video game. As the girl seemed to collect the spores of energy to fuel the air ship, it would be a great action platformer or interactive storytelling.
It's amazing that after 10 years, people still remember this amazing short, I love it, I just wished they released the song😭
Translation from French at 4:09 :
- We've got enough wind to get out!
- I'm staying with your mother. Leave without us. Go away.
- I don't want to go without you!
Beautiful animation and story
Georges Méliès school?! How am I only hearing of this now. And this is absolutely gorgeous!
even though it was short could have made an amazing video game!!!!
This was really nice :)
If it was a really movie I'd definitly watch it^^
Beautiful just BEAUTIFUL, the collor the musik the pictuers...perfekt.
I cannot get over the art style, so beautiful..
the way the art style is its absolutely stunning. I loved it.
This is probably the most beautiful animated film I have ever seen. There should definitely be a full-length film created in this style!
This gave me chills all the way through.........so beautiful..........and awesome...........this. Just this.
This is as close to being in a living painting as you can get. Really well done. Thanks!
This was absolutely amazing! Too bad I don't speak French... And that there weren't any English subs.
combination of 2d and 3d will be the future of animtion, you heard it here first!
amazing imho
Simply beautiful
brilliant!! just brilliantly brilliant!! this should be a movie!
Beautiful animation!
Once again, I think I've just witnessed a miracle of a film ;)
Your use of water and colors is amazing :) You could go very far with your scenery and I loved the story you told through the animation!
I instantly thought the woman singing was a Bjork. what a beautiful animation
simply beautiful without many words to express my feelings
This is super cool! great job!
Simply beautiful. I can't think of anything else to say.
Génial, quel créativité, quels rêves...
amazing short. This would make a phenomenal feature length film
Gorgeous. Artfully beautiful and great music.
I really like this art and music in this short film. I like the plot too.
Upon the world that broke and twine,
Where cloud that wrought to void the shine.
Beckon life that the girl would meet,
Of world below the crumble greet.
Strand of pool of mystic blue,
That bore a strange and imminent true.
Where water wash the ruin world,
Shall sail above the cloudly hurl.
It is the realm of light that they now roam.
Anyposs But the cloud remain as the puffiness of land
A different level, then, for them to revel in.
And by the way:
I can beat you in this rhyme along,
I can defeat you by unruly song.
Anyposs
But before you rule and likely win,
You must face your demon within.
And if cannot and can't succeed,
Then prepare to bow my creed.
In other words...
*slap*
Well played.
I can't say, though, that your words will get you laid.
I think this is my favorite one so far.
This was beautiful singing and the imagery! I wish I could go with them.
Is a beautiful short film.
Her pigtails look like ears, thats so cute, and its so well done
dude i've been watching shorts like this all day! For research
I found this beautiful. I enjoyed the art of it and the music!
one of my favorites shortfilms...
I really love this art style,it looks like a painting came to live
I just love beautiful animations like this!
I love the idea, I love the animation, I love the background music....perfect work...
This is too touching and soothing and I Love it.
I got the chills watching this
Amazing! Megakudos for compilating all these gems.
Nice work. I really like this style, the look of ink, the smoothness of CGI. Well done.
Beautiful! I got the shivers. Wonderful music and I love the style of animation. :)
beatifull, good ambient and good colors ...
This sounds fantastic with my Bose headphones married the visuals .
The art style is beautiful
Same as "The song of the Sea"
This is so beautiful! It's like a painting come to life!
this is beautifully animated, and the music is so haunting!
I wish this could be made into a video game because I would definitely buy it! I love the art style too!
I love the art style. Beautiful
This was extraordinary! So beautiful
Wow! That was BEAUTIFUL! *U* Love it! :D
Truly beautiful! anyone else here who noticed the M.C. Escher reference 4:53?
in believe i never seen such geniously perfect colour combinations... this work is fascinating, i love it.
Thank you for creating and sharing this. It was beautiful.
i almost cried it was beautiful. loved it
This was wonderful. Music made me want to get my Bjork CDs out.
This would make a really cool movie or even video game!
The guy was debating whether he should let his own child drown to death. How am I supposed to find this sweet?
Did you know what they said? I didn't understand the words but it seemed to me that he was telling her to leave him so he could drown and be with the wife, but she stayed and almost drowned herself. So he saved her.
Joshua Weber But he was thinking about whether or not he should save her after that point though, and dying because his wife died at the expense of his living child isn't respectable either.
Joshua Weber This if french, the girl run to the door and says "We have enough time to leave'' to which the man reply ''I stay with your mother, leave without us, go!'', finally the girl says ''I do not want to leave without you'' and then drown before her father rescue her.
With the motifs of mysticism and windmills, this could have easily been set in the same world as the short film "Second Wind". In fact, the father could even be the old man in the other film in his old age.
Beautiful short animation!
shooot....that was breathtaking....damn.
That was so beautifully done! the little girls face kinda reminds me of Anna from frozen
Who else thinks this what be a pretty damn good game. Like after they leave you have to go out search for more wind and a way to stop the water so you could salvage what is left of your home or something like that. I just think it would be a damn good game.
i love the blending of 2d and 3d
Adoro essa animação! Em especial a música que toca!
Very beautiful animation. It looks like it could be a game trailer.
Beautiful.... thank you for making it. If it were to be turned into a game, I would play. Amazing...
I get somewhat of an 'Icarus with a good ending' feel from this story, and it's wonderful
The story was heartwarming. The art work spectacular and the music complimented the whole video. Excellent job!
I love the music for this!
Your short films are the best! I just can't stop watching them x.x
Magnificent and very beautiful.
That was beautiful.
Thank you so much.
What a great short film! We just started learning about CGI Animation in my media studies class and I'll definitely recommend this little short film to my teacher.
TAKK TAKK, SOOO BEAUTIFUL AND ...I ELSKER IT! JEG ELSKER DIG DAT VIDEO!!
So beautiful!
That was really beautiful. I'd like to see a full length film.
Merci c'était magnifique!
