    Honestly this feels like a prologue to an animated series and I would love more of the story and lore. It's clear the effort you put into this and it came out so beautifully, I never get tired of watching it.

    Fun fact! Most people who get hanged have their neck snapped by the sheer weight of the drop. Realistically, there was a every high chance that he was supposed to die by the fall itself. Great animation!

    Want to know whats funny? *This* is more captivating that any of the trailers i have ever seen. But there was not a single word said, nor a hint of familiarity, that would bring in the audience. Not to mention that *everything* had story. The setting, the mood, scenery, ambience, actions, principles of art. Just a masterpiece. That concludes my TED talk.

      Reminds me of the scene from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I think both the footsteps over footsteps in the beginning was especially well-animated, but I also loved the tension and weight in the pull of the bound hands reaching out and being pulled at the end. Beautiful!

      Isaiah 53:4-6 | Surely He Took up our pain and Bore our suffering, yet we considered Him punished by GOD, stricken by Him, and afflicted.
      But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the Punishment that brings Peace was on Him, and by His wounds you can be Healed.
      We all, like sheep, have gone astray: each of us has turned our own way. And The Lord has Laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
      John 6:35 | Jesus Declared: I am the bread of Life. Whoever comes to Me Will never go hungry, whoever believes in Me Will never be thirsty.
      John 6:51 | I am the Living bread that Came down from Heaven. Whoever takes this bread in will Live forever. This bread is My flesh, which I Will Give for the Life of the world.

    Now that is a very good short, I really enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind seeing this turned into a longer story. The details were especially good, like the tiny rope strands left on the arrowhead, a very nice touch! One thing though, I noticed that the setting looks vaguely like medieval Europe, but the way the girl holds the bow and the arrow placement are Japanese. Was that on purpose?

    • @skepticboi
      @skepticboi  2 года назад +71

    That's what is happening and still happening especially in Europe, but in a different version. When you see people getting arrested in the most aggressive and savage way possible and then thrown into jails because they expressed their opinion or stood alone and silently with a sign about truth and humanity, they end up being repressed by the police forces.

    One thing I would like to note for future work featuring a noose, what makes it deadly isn't just the suffocation caused when hanging, but the breaking of the neck (collapse of the windpipe) caused by falling and suddenly stopping. So if the arrow was shot after he was hanged but before he asphyxiated, he would still have a broken pharynx and would surely die in a few moments.
