It's injustice no anime company has yet hired you. Despite its unfinished, the first part is remarkable and smoother than most of the anime I've seen. It's sad that this would be left unfinished but for sure it's gonna inspire so many animators.
I agree, although why anime? I dont think this is what anime studios would want as required to work there. I'd say they should be more successful as a freelancer or under an animation agency ^^
Let's address the (ironic) elephant in the room why, it's because of one word, furries. It's sad but anime companies and even indie companies aren't willing to make an anime about furries unless it has gratuitous violence, skimpy women, and panty shots, for example Beastars and BNA also male focused furry anime will pretty much never happen since there's always gotta be girls used for fanservice it's shallow but it gets viewers
I'm a year late to the party, but I got goosebumps at 0:43, this animation hit me with so much emotion within a minute it's insane. Even if you haven't continued animating in the past year, I'm really glad with what you've done here, it's incredible. The world's a better place with people like you.
Late to the party too. I always appreciate good sci-fi, and watching the majesty of an absolute beast of a ship appear is enough to give anyone shivers. Doubly so since the little guy gives us a frame of reference to how massive the thing is.
It's sad to know that this will probably remain unfinished, because it's honestly really good. It really says a lot without words, specially when he sees his father again, and is so happy, but then remembers the friend he was taking care of and gets worried and asks for help, it's so natural the progression in his mood. Being honest, I would honestly see a story about this, no joke. The way you animate truly makes my jaw drop everytime I see a new animation you create, hope companies end up realizing how talented you are and how much effort you put in this and hire you, because you deserve it.
From the first few seconds I could already tell you gave this one video your all. I could just feel the blood, sweat, and tears you have given for this 1:35 minute video. Seeing this unfinished is like watching a broken dream. I've been seeing so many of these lately, ambitious projects abandoned and unfinished for one reason or another. The weight of the world can really crush dreams, responsibilities, personal matters, and the stress of it all. It really hurts and I'm sure you have it worse, all I can for now is don't give up! This may be naïve of me but I feel like doing something about it if no one else will.
Oh yeah, all those backgrounds are bloody stunning and it hurts to see how fast they transistion, days of work for less then a second of content, each background is full of so much personality it adds so much to the animation
I'd personally see this more like a trailer so if they actually make a series out of this the scenes could last longer, not only to let people be able to enjoy the magnificent backgrounds but also as details of slow moments (for example when he falls to the ground or when the flashbacks come to scene).
RUclips has been on a spree of recommending me furry animations and this has got to be the best I've seen so far. Absolutely breath taking. As per the description it sucks that this won't get finished but i just want you to know that you are extremely talented and that comes from hardwork and practice and it shows. Don't let this get you down let it inspire you as it has us
The craziest thing is that this animator managed to move us by just showing us the ending of the story. Amazing. Also those flares looked absolutely gorgeous.
I have watched this over 20 times now, stopping at all the little details you put into this. Absolutely gorgeous, the animation, acting, storytelling and the beautiful compositing. I'm speechless.
I know you probably will never see my message, bu whatever. You're really talented, that 1 minute video just made me cry all the tears that were stuck in me for so long, I didn't think it was possible to be this talented at reflecting a message without saying any words.

I don't know you, but I hope you're living a good and healthy life, and thank you for this work of art
I’m legitimately speechless. You can tell what the story is without it actually telling you directly I’m shocked you don’t have your own anime omg 😳 AND THOSE BACKGROUNDSSSSS You did amazing on this, I’m blown away!
I have a good guess of what's going on but i'm really not sure. What i think is that the opening part is the little dog kiddo trying to scavenge for both him and his sick cat friend. Then the ship appears and everything. But then you see a scene where the feline kid is not sick, so i would guess this is where they met each other?

And if i have the good interpretation, then i really hope that the dog kid's friend got the help they needed to heal and that now they are living happily together! x3
@@phantomfox4317 it may be a little late to comment, but maybe. The way i see it would be that after a great, potentially world ravaging war, the pupper is all alone and tries to scour to see if there is anyone still left. Just as he begins to give up, he sees a smaller cat person in the distance, which he goes to. The feline hands him an energy bar as a symbol of friendship (potentially) and the pupper is excited. The two the appear to go on great journey’s together. Later, the feline appears to come down with a great sickness, and the pupper has to scavange food and water (potentially also medicine as shown by the medical box the pupper scavenges through) for the both of them. As he was scavenging the aforementioned medical box, a ship, apparently military, flew over above him, and the rest of what i was going to put can be seen in the cinematic. A theory I have is that they journeyed to these different places, not just to scavenge food and water, but to collect or find a functioning radio or signal device. And maybe, also, that could be the reason for the clock, counting up the days from when they sent a rescue signal? It is super hard to tell, as it may be a clock, a device saying how long it’s been since the end of the war, or even a timer for how long his feline friend had been sick or ill. There are so many possibilities, it’s quite insane! Hope I didn’t ramble on too long, but anyways, have a great day!
This is probably one of the most beautiful oc animations I’ve ever come across, the stylized animation and anime style makes it feel like a real MV with a whole arc to it. Amazing storytelling 💚
@@niceboy5384 Your not alone, this would make a great movie. However if Disney got a hold on it, it would either be designed to make people laugh or have a sing along in it. (Disney please don't)
How the hell did a half-finished animatic with characters I don't know and a song from a musical I'm not particularly fond of manage to make me cry in 1 minute?? I'm amazed. This is art. It deserves a billion views
This really hit me in the feels, especially when I noticed small details like the holo-display in the bg that says "164 days" implying they have been surviving and waiting all that time for someone to save them. (Edit: I forgot I left this tab open for over like two years. Will probably keep it open for even longer. Still really great!)
Absolutely astonishing. I cannot believe how much work and talent went into this animation. Even though it's unfinished, everything else went above and beyond
The scene where the pup notices the ship flying overhead, you can truly see the desperation and hope in his eyes, running after it and firing off what looks like some sort of flare gun, just hoping they notice him. It’s an emotional masterpiece!!!
Bruh. This is less than 2 minutes, I've never seen these characters before, so why am I crying?! This is so beautiful and well-made, telling such a concrete story in such a short time
It honestly seems better than the movie itself. Still haven't seen it too. Edit: the movie I'm talking about is the Dear Evan Hansen movie that came out in September of last year
Just this year, I finally found a man who would be a dad to me. I sobbed in his arms, feeling loved almost for the first time. I'm a 32 y/o man. This animation made me cry, because for all that I'm finally finding a "home" and my depression is cured, I still know the weight of waiting your whole life to be adopted. Orphans don't suddenly stop being orphans when they turn 18. And for a lot of us, our dads were "around", but they were never our dads. One reason I wanna make money is to support animations like these. I wanna pour my life and finances into supporting a movement of men who will go be dads to all the men who still need one. These animations are powerful. They can change the world.
I can't believe this was made by one person. Usually people have a specialty when it comes to animation, but everything here is just gorgeous. The backgrounds are stunning, absolutely beyond words. And the way that they aren't just flat, like how they move and change at 0:15, not just static. There are so many elements in this vid that I didn't realize one person could put all together. So many details, like the sun shining in or clouds floating by and the lights! I understand it may not be the right time or the right financial place to finish this particular piece, but you have a gift. An eye for detail, sure, but an understanding of multiple aspects of the animation process. Fantastic character design as well, and clearly an idea for a whole story here. I hope you pursue a career in the industry. You'd be invaluable to any team.
Do you hear that? Those cries of pain and agony? The first 15 seconds of this animation have put more character and depth into a world than most major studios can get away with in 3 hours. The ruins of an abandoned and forgotten city, maybe even a world. The two friends, one of whom is sick and the other taking care of sharing their "Secret Base" implying this was something one or both of them cherished greatly. The day counter off to the side, implying that they were waiting for rescue or counting the days they have been stuck here. So much shoved into so few seconds and ALL OF THE DETAILS AND EMOTIONS ARE NOT EVEN SPOKEN ONCE BY THE CHARACTERS! Such an incredible job at animating and such an emotional journey given to the viewer.... and then 0:43 hits and we are just BLASTED with such an exceptional example of emotional engagement as the ship's lights illuminate the ground and him. And the tears coming even before the smile, showing that his emotions are so high right now it's taking him a moment to catch up with them, to let things sink in. And then the flashes of what we see happened, the war and chaos and destruction that brought all of this through and then seeing his friend brought to him, not even seeing that he had to take them to find his friend. And then the flashback of them finding each other, the smile and the wave to one another.... So much was given to us in this and I appreciate that you have shared your creation with us!
Don't mind me, just a passerby who is absolutely FLOORED by your animation and moved to tears faster in 90 seconds than most 30 to 3 hours time investments. Hope you do finish this eventually ( in your own time - no rush ). c:
Your animations look like they're made by a whole team of professional animators, it's honestly mind boggling how amazing one person can be at animating- This looks like a movie! And the emotions, damn... The expressions were amazing too. The song and the animation were wonderful together, it was so satisfying to look at. I could just feel the emotions of the young dog coming off of the screen You did an amazing job on this one again!
The idea that, after the apocalypse, you're just a young kid with a dying friend and you desperately need help to save them... that's some of the most emotional shit that I can possibly think of. Conceptually, I _adore_ this video. I just wish it was finished so I could enjoy the final cut, y'know? Good shit regardless
It's as many people here put it; This is a really impressive piece of work. Even if you never choose to finish it I can see that there's more than enough effort put into this for something so split second by comparison that I can't help but feel like there's something inspiring about it. I can see this at least being a part of future artist and animator's history where they can look back on this and remember how it inspired them as well. I can't imagine how much time was put into every shot, every scene, every detail of every piece of nature or debris and the character's animations down to the lip syncing. I can't imagine what it must feel like to create something like that knowing each carefully crafted piece will exist in motion for maybe a half of a second at most but the fact you chose to do it anyways amazes me. Even the smallest moment here conveys a lot about what's going on. I guess the way to express it is that it's a great example of putting effort into the moment, the transient aspect of art that leaves an impact and the desire for more. Capturing this feeling within this animation again might be impossible, that's why I think it will be so memorable. I will just look forward to seeing what other kinds of creations you'll make.
I know this might stay unfinished, but even unfinished; this is one of the greatest pieces of animation I've ever seen. It told a coherent story that could be understood without any confusion, the musicality is spot on, and it made me god damn cry. If it stays like this that's fine, mental health is so important, but please know; you are amazing at what you do and no one can take it away from you. All of us our proud of you. Edit: This video hit one Million view and I'm so happy. Good job Nviek5. We're proud of you
@@trickytreyperfected1482 From what I'm understanding- During the flashbacks at 1:03, both the cat and dog went through their destruction of their home/world. Afterwards they roam around (1:12) trying to find others who may have survived and run into each other which makes them both relieved. There is a possibility that they knew each other before the destruction but that's my theory. At once, they build a home base (1:24) where they spent the rest of the days scavenging for food or other survivors. But suddenly the cat fell ill (seen at 0:04) and wasn't able to help out the dog so the dog took it upon themselves to provide the cat and make sure they were okay. Suddenly, one day while the dog was getting food, a lazer flew by them (0:13) meaning that some sort of rescue team was flying by and was excited to finally be found. Chasing and running after the ship with a flare gun to shoot into the air to alert them that "yes there is survivors here!!" (0:21) After the team sees the flares (0:25) and the dog falling down due to mud, they go down and rescues them (0:43) which makes the dog so happy. But the dog remembers the cat and tells the commander that there's another person and tried leading him there but he pulls the dog back and looks over to one of the members already holding the sick cat. They both get saved in the end.
I keep randomly coming back to this video, and it never fails to make me cry. Animating something with this weight and rawness of emotion, even though it’s unfinished, is indescribably beautiful and talented. I don’t usually like to comment, but this is easily one of my favorite videos ever.
the cat's face when he's hugged at 1:22 is so cute. this is beautiful, i'm happy to have discovered such a talented person on here- your work deserves to be seen by many more people
I know that part is still just rough sketches but the change from surprise to "Yay" at the hug is just really adorable and might be my favorite part of this
I got CHILLS when the ship bursted onscreen and the music peaks. This is INSANE. The synchronization with the music is superb, your art is gorgeous and distinctive, and the backgrounds make me want to know more about this lil guy’s story.
I definitely think it was done well with the music in mind, but the sound was actually edited I think. In the original there is no pause, though I do really like the addition of it and can't listen to the song without it now lol
My guess? I more optimistic version of "This War Of Mine". Two kids survive a futuristic urban siege/bombardment, waiting for somebody to come home and find them.
My uncle used to play this at the family get togethers. Our family has grown too large to get together anymore, and my grandma has dementia and my grandpa isn't there to hold us together anymore. Still, I listen to this song and think about the wonderful times we had with everyone playing and singing together around the fire.
This is without a doubt the best piece of OC animation I've ever seen on here. I instantly understood the story and felt the emotionality of it. The expressions were dead on. The timing was dead on. I already feel like I know and love these characters. The use of colour in stark contrast with the muted background felt so hopeful - the 'secret base' flag, those beautiful flares, and then again when help finally arrived. Beautifully done. The theming was crystal clear. I feel like I watched a whole movie in a minute in a half. You should be beyond proud of this, it's a genuine masterpiece
The last third is an animatic, and it still hits harder than many completed works. Hats off, this was superb! If the option to crowdfund this ever comes up, know that you have my support!
Everytime I rewatch this, I see a new detail I didn’t notice before. Literally whenever the ship appears I get chills, the way you make the backgrounds is phenomenal, the characters are so cute, you did an amazing job at this.
The friendship between the dog and cat is so wholesome. I love how you can completely understand the whole dynamic between the two with only a few images and no words - now that's some excellent story telling. Well done, this is really beautiful!
Whether or not this animatic is ever finished, you achieved the emotional pull it strove to signal. I keep having to fight back tears and I can't stop watching it, you've done a phenomenal job ❤
The hopeful look in his eyes when he sees the ship, the progression of him running faster and faster to catch up, his eyes when he realizes they're going to make it, it's so beautiful.
This is the perfect example of the concept: Show Don’t Tell. Not a single line is spoken, but the scenery and character interactions tell the story all by themselves.
I know you said this might never be completed. But, I just wanted to say, it's honestly, one of the most beautiful looking pieces I've ever seen. You put everything into it, and it shows. Maybe one day, you'll finish it, and if not, even the little bit we have, is just... Amazing.
As someone once said "it's truly amezing to think what people will do with computers in 30 years" and you did something MAGNIFICENT! Like bruh the way that your characters give emotions and how you can tell a story this way its just... Mind-blowing
Whatever your reason for deciding deciding to drop this project, I'm so freaking grateful that you decided to post this so people could see the magnificence of what's already there, from the incredibly polished full animation to the story being told even in the sketches Seriously, thank you
This made me cry out of pure joy the animation is stellar and the story being told I just wish it was more popular so many small creators with such talent get nothing another lost relic a masterpiece
@@anti_furry_soldat_1920 If I assume correctly that is a certain Netherland/Dutch aviator, Anti-furries usually display numerous neo-fascist symbolism in their "community," and that man was killed by an enemy nation that was Fascist? Disrespectful on many levels to people with hobbies better than larping as Fascists, and to the man himself who needs to rest.

This is so criminally underrated. I can’t imagine the time and effort you put into this masterpiece. This actually shocked me when I realised it will probably remain unfinished but I understand.
The genuine emotion i feel towards animations like this is so heartwarming in a era in which social media destroys every ounce of emotional reaction to anything. I loved this, thx❤
Wow, this is a masterpiece of it‘s own kind. The songs of Dear Evans are always emotional no matter what, and this combined with your talent… and such a great story, this looks endlessly amazing. Hopefully there will someday be a continuation, hope this video will get all the recognition it deserves.
HUH one person made this? Dude the opening is so beautiful and looks like so much work was put into it, I love the concept, style, shading, and animation. Seriously, amazing work. I will be happy with this if it never gets finished (although it would be awesome to see this completed).
yea, a furry, the most “wholesome” being in the entire universe, of course more wholesome than anything else what the fuck is wrong with you people stop watching these videos
Congrats on 100k! you absolutely deserve it! i can’t wait to see more beautiful art from you!!!!!! i always find myself coming back to this, it’s just so gorgeous, and the story is so amazing! i love these characters so much!!!
You can’t give up this easily. If it’s the use of copyrighted music that discourages you, I have good news - a strong musician could totally make a _new_ track to match your editing/intent. This thing could be _entirely_ your original work! And the song could be even better than the og! So (unless you have good reasons we don’t know about) consider returning to it! You’ve already done so much
Just came across your channel. As an aspiring cartoonist, seeing this brought tears to my eyes. I know that this might remain unfinished but please never stop doing what you love, because someday someone will see this and think, “wow! This is amazing! I want to be like that!” People like you are going to change the world someday or at least, bring more beauty into it.
This entire animation, even unfinished, looks stunning. I really do hope that one day you return to finishing this, but even if you don't, I'll definitely be coming back to watch this one again and again. Amazing work!!
Even with the unfinished nature of the art, this minute and a half of animation coveys so much emotion so strongly it is absolutely breathtaking. I truly hope that one day the creator has the time and money to finish this off in comfort, not just so that we can see it, but so that they can see their vision complete and get the recognition they deserve for their undeniable level of skill and talent.
Even unfinished, this is a beautiful animation that I'm sure you worked really hard on. It tells a good story, and the characters are adorable. It's cool to see both finished, almost finished, and just the storyboards all in one piece because it tells a little bit about the process of animation and how long it actually takes to go from the roughest sketch to the refined piece.
I feel like I just watched an entire movie. I'm absolutely blown away. Even though it is unfinished the production value is off the charts. The storytelling packed into 1:35 is absolutely mind boggling. I feel every emotion portrayed so vividly the ending brought a tear to my eye. Incredible work!
Checking back at it after around a year, still made me cry, thx RUclips for rerecommending me this. I hope one day... one day... this will be finished.
Absolutely jaw dropping. I literally feel like I forgot to breath. This really does look like it was done by a professional team with a serious budget. Thank you for sharing even if it's not going to be finished. I feel very lucky to have seen it.
just found this in my recommendations and i honestly don't know how i can accurately convey how much i loved this! i guess the fact that i'll be repeatedly watching this for the rest of my day (and week) says something hehe. absolutely love the song choice and i LOVE the emotion i've felt in just less than 2 minutes without even knowing any of the lore before watching this (this is my first time encountering you and any of your work so thank you so much youtube)! as an animation student myself i hope i'll be able to make an animation as amazing as this in the future! hope you get the opportunities you 100% deserve!

@@catoticneutral a series would be amazing right this is great
This is probably one of the most beautiful oc animations I’ve ever come across, the stylized animation and anime style makes it feel like a real MV with a whole arc to it. Amazing storytelling 💚
:D
Rewatching this and I actually got chills. My body actually experienced chills wtf
almost 2 years to late but damn this was done well, glad to have found it
its sad to see disney scraping up ideas when works of art like this are being left unfinished
Disney has gotten pretty proficient at crushing peoples hopes and dreams as of recent memory.
I WANT TO SEE THIS AS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
tbh yeah
@@niceboy5384 Your not alone, this would make a great movie. However if Disney got a hold on it, it would either be designed to make people laugh or have a sing along in it. (Disney please don't)
As sick as furryism is, at least it's not racemixed.
How the hell did a half-finished animatic with characters I don't know and a song from a musical I'm not particularly fond of manage to make me cry in 1 minute?? I'm amazed. This is art. It deserves a billion views
Same 😢
I always watch it no matter how many times it pops back up in my recomended
Agreed.
the thing is i am a furry
same
years later and watching this still moves me deeply
This literally got me in tears! And I never felt emotional in a long time..... Good feeling
It's really good! Well done :)
Agreed!
OMG ITS KEKE
Two animation kings unite 👑👑hold your crowns
It’s has to be some of the best single person animation (that I’ve seen)
We love you keke
This really hit me in the feels, especially when I noticed small details like the holo-display in the bg that says "164 days" implying they have been surviving and waiting all that time for someone to save them.
(Edit: I forgot I left this tab open for over like two years. Will probably keep it open for even longer. Still really great!)
This is amazing, it has movie quality animation to it. Deserves to be in the Internet hall of fame. It genuinely brought me to tears.
Absolutely astonishing. I cannot believe how much work and talent went into this animation. Even though it's unfinished, everything else went above and beyond
The scene where the pup notices the ship flying overhead, you can truly see the desperation and hope in his eyes, running after it and firing off what looks like some sort of flare gun, just hoping they notice him. It’s an emotional masterpiece!!!
Bruh. This is less than 2 minutes, I've never seen these characters before, so why am I crying?! This is so beautiful and well-made, telling such a concrete story in such a short time
It honestly seems better than the movie itself. Still haven't seen it too.
Edit: the movie I'm talking about is the Dear Evan Hansen movie that came out in September of last year
Same I've watched it twice now and the 1st already had me tearing up
I agree too, my tears are flowing down like a river
Fr! I want to know more!!!!
What movie?
Just this year, I finally found a man who would be a dad to me. I sobbed in his arms, feeling loved almost for the first time. I'm a 32 y/o man. This animation made me cry, because for all that I'm finally finding a "home" and my depression is cured, I still know the weight of waiting your whole life to be adopted. Orphans don't suddenly stop being orphans when they turn 18. And for a lot of us, our dads were "around", but they were never our dads. One reason I wanna make money is to support animations like these. I wanna pour my life and finances into supporting a movement of men who will go be dads to all the men who still need one. These animations are powerful. They can change the world.
I can't believe this was made by one person. Usually people have a specialty when it comes to animation, but everything here is just gorgeous. The backgrounds are stunning, absolutely beyond words. And the way that they aren't just flat, like how they move and change at 0:15, not just static. There are so many elements in this vid that I didn't realize one person could put all together. So many details, like the sun shining in or clouds floating by and the lights! I understand it may not be the right time or the right financial place to finish this particular piece, but you have a gift. An eye for detail, sure, but an understanding of multiple aspects of the animation process. Fantastic character design as well, and clearly an idea for a whole story here. I hope you pursue a career in the industry. You'd be invaluable to any team.
HOLY THAT ACTUALLY COOL
Do you hear that? Those cries of pain and agony? The first 15 seconds of this animation have put more character and depth into a world than most major studios can get away with in 3 hours.
The ruins of an abandoned and forgotten city, maybe even a world. The two friends, one of whom is sick and the other taking care of sharing their "Secret Base" implying this was something one or both of them cherished greatly. The day counter off to the side, implying that they were waiting for rescue or counting the days they have been stuck here.
So much shoved into so few seconds and ALL OF THE DETAILS AND EMOTIONS ARE NOT EVEN SPOKEN ONCE BY THE CHARACTERS! Such an incredible job at animating and such an emotional journey given to the viewer....
and then 0:43 hits and we are just BLASTED with such an exceptional example of emotional engagement as the ship's lights illuminate the ground and him. And the tears coming even before the smile, showing that his emotions are so high right now it's taking him a moment to catch up with them, to let things sink in.
And then the flashes of what we see happened, the war and chaos and destruction that brought all of this through and then seeing his friend brought to him, not even seeing that he had to take them to find his friend.
And then the flashback of them finding each other, the smile and the wave to one another....
So much was given to us in this and I appreciate that you have shared your creation with us!
Thank you! Finally someone has explained the whole plot. I thought they were separated at the end but now I get it right
Wait that was his friend in the guys' arm at the end? I thought it was some random baby lmao
Exactly! The amount of detail and story included was so good!
Confusing imo but Beautiful art
@@vannypaws7422 Fair, I think there’s probably context in the video description or in the comments
My jaw literally hit the floor
S a m e.
I thought you be here. Love your music CK9C.
PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. WE NEED A SERIES ON THIS IVE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH THIS STORY
Less than 2 minutes, makes me cry everytime.
Me too!
Don't mind me, just a passerby who is absolutely FLOORED by your animation and moved to tears faster in 90 seconds than most 30 to 3 hours time investments. Hope you do finish this eventually ( in your own time - no rush ). c:
Another passerbyer here, with animation like this. I'm stopping to sub. I love it ❤
The other 1.6 million passerbyers, including me, concur with this statement
Your animations look like they're made by a whole team of professional animators, it's honestly mind boggling how amazing one person can be at animating- This looks like a movie!
And the emotions, damn... The expressions were amazing too. The song and the animation were wonderful together, it was so satisfying to look at. I could just feel the emotions of the young dog coming off of the screen
You did an amazing job on this one again!
I have watch this about 47 times and I still can’t watch it without tearing up. Absolutely amazing.
The idea that, after the apocalypse, you're just a young kid with a dying friend and you desperately need help to save them... that's some of the most emotional shit that I can possibly think of.
Conceptually, I _adore_ this video. I just wish it was finished so I could enjoy the final cut, y'know? Good shit regardless
It's as many people here put it; This is a really impressive piece of work. Even if you never choose to finish it I can see that there's more than enough effort put into this for something so split second by comparison that I can't help but feel like there's something inspiring about it. I can see this at least being a part of future artist and animator's history where they can look back on this and remember how it inspired them as well. I can't imagine how much time was put into every shot, every scene, every detail of every piece of nature or debris and the character's animations down to the lip syncing. I can't imagine what it must feel like to create something like that knowing each carefully crafted piece will exist in motion for maybe a half of a second at most but the fact you chose to do it anyways amazes me. Even the smallest moment here conveys a lot about what's going on. I guess the way to express it is that it's a great example of putting effort into the moment, the transient aspect of art that leaves an impact and the desire for more. Capturing this feeling within this animation again might be impossible, that's why I think it will be so memorable. I will just look forward to seeing what other kinds of creations you'll make.
I know this might stay unfinished, but even unfinished; this is one of the greatest pieces of animation I've ever seen. It told a coherent story that could be understood without any confusion, the musicality is spot on, and it made me god damn cry. If it stays like this that's fine, mental health is so important, but please know; you are amazing at what you do and no one can take it away from you. All of us our proud of you.
Edit: This video hit one Million view and I'm so happy. Good job Nviek5. We're proud of you
I do not understand it and there is a bit of confusion. Granted, I am tired and dumb. You think you could give a crack at explaining it to me?
@@trickytreyperfected1482 From what I'm understanding-
During the flashbacks at 1:03, both the cat and dog went through their destruction of their home/world. Afterwards they roam around (1:12) trying to find others who may have survived and run into each other which makes them both relieved. There is a possibility that they knew each other before the destruction but that's my theory.
At once, they build a home base (1:24) where they spent the rest of the days scavenging for food or other survivors. But suddenly the cat fell ill (seen at 0:04) and wasn't able to help out the dog so the dog took it upon themselves to provide the cat and make sure they were okay.
Suddenly, one day while the dog was getting food, a lazer flew by them (0:13) meaning that some sort of rescue team was flying by and was excited to finally be found. Chasing and running after the ship with a flare gun to shoot into the air to alert them that "yes there is survivors here!!" (0:21)
After the team sees the flares (0:25) and the dog falling down due to mud, they go down and rescues them (0:43) which makes the dog so happy. But the dog remembers the cat and tells the commander that there's another person and tried leading him there but he pulls the dog back and looks over to one of the members already holding the sick cat. They both get saved in the end.
I'm 2 years late to the party but i need more of this please finish this, its so good
I keep randomly coming back to this video, and it never fails to make me cry. Animating something with this weight and rawness of emotion, even though it’s unfinished, is indescribably beautiful and talented. I don’t usually like to comment, but this is easily one of my favorite videos ever.
the cat's face when he's hugged at 1:22 is so cute. this is beautiful, i'm happy to have discovered such a talented person on here- your work deserves to be seen by many more people
I know that part is still just rough sketches but the change from surprise to "Yay" at the hug is just really adorable and might be my favorite part of this
I got CHILLS when the ship bursted onscreen and the music peaks. This is INSANE. The synchronization with the music is superb, your art is gorgeous and distinctive, and the backgrounds make me want to know more about this lil guy’s story.
I definitely think it was done well with the music in mind, but the sound was actually edited I think. In the original there is no pause, though I do really like the addition of it and can't listen to the song without it now lol
My guess? I more optimistic version of "This War Of Mine". Two kids survive a futuristic urban siege/bombardment, waiting for somebody to come home and find them.
My uncle used to play this at the family get togethers. Our family has grown too large to get together anymore, and my grandma has dementia and my grandpa isn't there to hold us together anymore. Still, I listen to this song and think about the wonderful times we had with everyone playing and singing together around the fire.
Now this... does put a smile on my face.
Your animations are inspiring, even nostalgic. And with excellent taste in music too~
This is without a doubt the best piece of OC animation I've ever seen on here. I instantly understood the story and felt the emotionality of it. The expressions were dead on. The timing was dead on. I already feel like I know and love these characters. The use of colour in stark contrast with the muted background felt so hopeful - the 'secret base' flag, those beautiful flares, and then again when help finally arrived. Beautifully done. The theming was crystal clear. I feel like I watched a whole movie in a minute in a half. You should be beyond proud of this, it's a genuine masterpiece
OC? I thought it was Star Fox for some reason XD
The last third is an animatic, and it still hits harder than many completed works. Hats off, this was superb!
If the option to crowdfund this ever comes up, know that you have my support!
This is all gorgeous, but the frame at 1:21 of the cat doing a little surprised Pikachu face at being hugged is super cute!
Everytime I rewatch this, I see a new detail I didn’t notice before. Literally whenever the ship appears I get chills, the way you make the backgrounds is phenomenal, the characters are so cute, you did an amazing job at this.
The ship appearing gets me choked up every time. It’s so brilliantly directed despite being unfinished
The friendship between the dog and cat is so wholesome. I love how you can completely understand the whole dynamic between the two with only a few images and no words - now that's some excellent story telling. Well done, this is really beautiful!
I don't care it's unfinished, the first 20 finished seconds we got are incredible. Every shot could be a painting.
Whether or not this animatic is ever finished, you achieved the emotional pull it strove to signal. I keep having to fight back tears and I can't stop watching it, you've done a phenomenal job ❤
The hopeful look in his eyes when he sees the ship, the progression of him running faster and faster to catch up, his eyes when he realizes they're going to make it, it's so beautiful.
This is the perfect example of the concept: Show Don’t Tell. Not a single line is spoken, but the scenery and character interactions tell the story all by themselves.
Ok, I don’t cry while watching animations.
WHY THE HECK AM I BAWLING??! 😭😭😭
*bawling
@@AcademicJaedon fixed! Thank you, lol!
I know you said this might never be completed. But, I just wanted to say, it's honestly, one of the most beautiful looking pieces I've ever seen. You put everything into it, and it shows. Maybe one day, you'll finish it, and if not, even the little bit we have, is just... Amazing.
As someone once said "it's truly amezing to think what people will do with computers in 30 years" and you did something MAGNIFICENT! Like bruh the way that your characters give emotions and how you can tell a story this way its just... Mind-blowing
Whatever your reason for deciding deciding to drop this project, I'm so freaking grateful that you decided to post this so people could see the magnificence of what's already there, from the incredibly polished full animation to the story being told even in the sketches
Seriously, thank you
This made me cry out of pure joy the animation is stellar and the story being told I just wish it was more popular so many small creators with such talent get nothing another lost relic a masterpiece
Mybe u should tuch some grass
@@anti_furry_soldat_1920 does he really need to touch grass just for a unfinished animation video
@@anti_furry_soldat_1920 If I assume correctly that is a certain Netherland/Dutch aviator, Anti-furries usually display numerous neo-fascist symbolism in their "community," and that man was killed by an enemy nation that was Fascist? Disrespectful on many levels to people with hobbies better than larping as Fascists, and to the man himself who needs to rest.

I had literal tears running down my face...
This is so criminally underrated. I can’t imagine the time and effort you put into this masterpiece. This actually shocked me when I realised it will probably remain unfinished but I understand.
My eyes can't stop crying. The art so beautiful❤
uggghhh every time I watch this, the intense emotion in the animation alone just makes me burst into tears! It's just so well done
The genuine emotion i feel towards animations like this is so heartwarming in a era in which social media destroys every ounce of emotional reaction to anything.
I loved this, thx❤
Wow, this is a masterpiece of it‘s own kind. The songs of Dear Evans are always emotional no matter what, and this combined with your talent… and such a great story, this looks endlessly amazing. Hopefully there will someday be a continuation, hope this video will get all the recognition it deserves.
HUH one person made this? Dude the opening is so beautiful and looks like so much work was put into it, I love the concept, style, shading, and animation. Seriously, amazing work. I will be happy with this if it never gets finished (although it would be awesome to see this completed).
yea, a furry, the most “wholesome” being in the entire universe, of course more wholesome than anything else

i've seen this video hundreds of times, I always cry by the end. Forever a beautiful animation!
You actually made me cry dude, you’re amazing. No words can express just how in awe I am at this, thank you for posting this
You can’t give up this easily. If it’s the use of copyrighted music that discourages you, I have good news - a strong musician could totally make a _new_ track to match your editing/intent. This thing could be _entirely_ your original work! And the song could be even better than the og! So (unless you have good reasons we don’t know about) consider returning to it! You’ve already done so much
There is also places where you can get independent creators music that is listed and get a license to use.
Or you can get an artist to cover the piece for you if you're really convicted on staying with the piece you've chosen
@@TheLibran1 May I ask, where?
@@Madjichen Yeah I would like to know as well
I would pay great sums of money to see this as a movie
That time of the year again.
Time to watch this on repeat and cry extensively.
umm this should be a movie!
I AM SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even unfinished, this made me cry. It tells such an emotional story through its expression and its scale alone. Fantastic job on this! 😊🧡
Brings a tear everytime, very good creation, love it everytime I'm granted to see this again.
This is just pure beautiful.
Just came across your channel. As an aspiring cartoonist, seeing this brought tears to my eyes. I know that this might remain unfinished but please never stop doing what you love, because someday someone will see this and think, “wow! This is amazing! I want to be like that!” People like you are going to change the world someday or at least, bring more beauty into it.
This entire animation, even unfinished, looks stunning.
I really do hope that one day you return to finishing this, but even if you don't, I'll definitely be coming back to watch this one again and again. Amazing work!!
Shame it's unfinished, this is some high quality work.
God... I really forgot about this work of art for over a year glad I got a rec to watch it all over again.
Even with the unfinished nature of the art, this minute and a half of animation coveys so much emotion so strongly it is absolutely breathtaking. I truly hope that one day the creator has the time and money to finish this off in comfort, not just so that we can see it, but so that they can see their vision complete and get the recognition they deserve for their undeniable level of skill and talent.
Holy...fuck? This is an AMAZING piece of work. I can feel tears in my eyes from how beautiful this is.
As a part of a group me and my friends are now on the case to find every bit of lore possible :> (I really love this animation)
Even unfinished, this is a beautiful animation that I'm sure you worked really hard on. It tells a good story, and the characters are adorable. It's cool to see both finished, almost finished, and just the storyboards all in one piece because it tells a little bit about the process of animation and how long it actually takes to go from the roughest sketch to the refined piece.
I feel like I just watched an entire movie. I'm absolutely blown away. Even though it is unfinished the production value is off the charts. The storytelling packed into 1:35 is absolutely mind boggling. I feel every emotion portrayed so vividly the ending brought a tear to my eye. Incredible work!
So what the ending means?
I must have watched this at least 50 times by now(not exaggerating), It's THAT good!!!
Checking back at it after around a year, still made me cry, thx RUclips for rerecommending me this.
I hope one day... one day... this will be finished.
Absolutely jaw dropping. I literally feel like I forgot to breath. This really does look like it was done by a professional team with a serious budget. Thank you for sharing even if it's not going to be finished. I feel very lucky to have seen it.
just found this in my recommendations and i honestly don't know how i can accurately convey how much i loved this! i guess the fact that i'll be repeatedly watching this for the rest of my day (and week) says something hehe. absolutely love the song choice and i LOVE the emotion i've felt in just less than 2 minutes without even knowing any of the lore before watching this (this is my first time encountering you and any of your work so thank you so much youtube)! as an animation student myself i hope i'll be able to make an animation as amazing as this in the future! hope you get the opportunities you 100% deserve!
I will always love this video, and it will always help me feel. It's beautiful.
Ive always felt this song would go well with a character of mine so its nice to see this animation, even if its unfinished.
5 seconds in and I already felt tears running down my face.. god it's so beautifully drawn and breathtaking to watch it over and over again
god i’m literally speechless i don’t understand how people can be this talented you’re literally so amazing . such chills
this remains one of my favorite animatics ever
Btw to anyone sadly scrolling through the comments he IS working on it via Patreon donations
this is so beautiful, it's insane how intense i can feel the main character's emotions through facial expressions alone I LEGITIMATELY TEARED UP AAAA
