I'm always fascinated with the people that have so much patience regarding their hobby and can do a complex project from the start to finish, and not just stop at the concept idea!
Absolutely incredible work! The tenacity to continue to test and iterate on the felt is what makes this work so inspiring. Every little piece of this is a work of art, including this video itself. The thought and care you've put into every part of this is truly incredible.
I just saw the view count and I’m baffled, this deserves millions of views! You are so talented and the way you problem solved throughout this project was so interesting to watch.
That's one of the reasons people are saying that RUclips is dying. Their idiotic algorithm is suggesting videos that are worthless pranks with high production value. Recently for some reason I got a series of recommended videos that were simple, homemade and I felt like it was 2006 RUclips again. There are many undiscovered and underappreciated gems that are worth the time - something like this video. For me it is a instant subscribe but it is nearly impossible to "find" them. The only way is to "discover" them with this shitty algorithm.
@@rstsdlnzms I am not wrong. What I described is a universal problem with "personalized" algorithms. It is not really personalized and its focus is on pushing the form of content that it is promoting based on what keeps the user longer on their website. What do you even mean by asking if I am biased? Biased to what? It is simply how it works. Alphabet is not a free service and entertainment company. They sell ads. There is a huge difference between "recent" videos and videos with low popularity. Recent videos will have 0 views because they are new. Every MrBeast video at some point does have 0 views so rummaging through recent videos will also show me what is new, not what is usually not promoted by the algo.
Incredible amount of dedication to the process and an idea. The way I was so concerned with the felt and cricut cutting each individual piece, so glad it worked out in the end with the glue. Thank you for sharing your process and work! Truly inspiring
Even having seen hints of the final work during development, the effect of the final animation was incredibly moving. I think it's the perfect combination of light, color, movement, and music. Bravo! 🎉
I love stop animation and seeing a one person army tackling these frames one by one made my back for you! But I love seeing the whole process, it is magical; don’t get me wrong, the end result is gorgeous with the flow of the colors and characters, and the message it imparts. But the process itself is fantastic, it’s heroic. Great job! Can’t wait to see more😊
Laser cutting “Felt is a low-cost, non-woven fabric that is difficult to hand cut but cuts very easily with a laser cutter. Felt can be used for garments, decorative patches, and place mats. It is recommended to use 95-100 % wool felt, as synthetic felt is often made from acrylic and cuts very poorly.”
You just inspired me to never give up on a project. Every project has roadblocks and problems and it's NORMAL. It doesn't mean you were too naive to think your ambitious idea was any good and you've failed, it just means you must think a little harder to jump over some pits in the road. It's NEVER impossible to solve a problem. Thank you for sharing your beautiful animation. The butterflies at the beginning are my favorite part.
This is insane to me because I just made a kind of similar project that took me MONTHS using a circuit! Your art is beautiful and totally understand and respect the process. I loved seeing the similarities in the trial and error of both our projects and the similarities in both our processes. I also struggled with my smaller details not coming out all the time and I too kept the pieces for each page of my project in plastic bags. Your animation skills are beyond and the final product is so stunning! Keep doing what you’re doing! I will share this video as much as possible!
I’ve never seen something so underrated. this is one of the most amazing pieces of work that I have seen in a long time and I hope that the RUclips algorithm picks this up!
This video has all the hallmarks for exploding in growth. The story arc structure is perfect, the execution is flawless, and the final product produced transcends the expectations. You have created RUclips gold my friend!
I am so amazed you managed to make this with acrylic felt. I really appreciate the detail of the work and effort you put into these videos. My child creates his own stop motion animations, and it's excellent to be able to show him the detailed process of this level of stop motion mastery.
I love how you bring a physical form of your work to life, which is nearly forgotten by many digital artists. Honestly, what makes the artist now become legitimately an "artist" and without doubt by others because of the AI era, is the physical form. And I am amazed by the crafting spirit, organization of the pieces, and how you overcome the limitations.
This is honestly one of the most beautiful things I have seen on RUclips. I'm a stopmotion director and your work is really something honest, beautiful and magic. As animation should always be. Keep up the good work 🦖
Man the amount of hardcore commitment this project took, it really showed your passion for this craft. Astounding, also you are so underrated for the amount of professionalism you showcase. Keep it up!
I’m floored! I have no idea why this popped up on my feed lol, but the endurance and precision to plan and execute your craft is astounding! I watched with my jaw in the floor..bravo!!
This is both so aesthetically vibrant and beautifully animated! And the video showing the process is an artwork in itself - the journey through troubleshooting, finding solutions and creative decision-making really captivated me. The assembly logistics looked absolutely crazy, but I loved the end result!
Firstly, this is an absolutely stunning animation, the amount of work that went into it is just incredible. From one artist to another, you are very talented. Everything, from how the video was shot to the fine details you added to the lighting at the end - just amazing. Secondly, every month a put aside around $30 for charity. This was the quickest buy I've ever made. I'm frame shopping now so when I get the artwork I can display it proudly on my wall with a QR code that'll lead people to this video. Much love and great respect from Scotland, UK.
What a journey! The animation is incredible... I probably would have given up when the vinyl cutter didn't work. But seeing you roll with the punches, redo much of your work, and follow through is inspiring!
Thanks Sam! I naively I went into the project thinking it would be easier than past projects since all the cutting was done by machine. I ended up with I lot more headaches than expected! 😂
the sheer amount of work gone into this for such a short animation feels mindblowing to me. i already knew animation was a tedious process, but fully animating it digitally and THEN going through all that trial, error, and manual labor to make the stop motion final product is incredible. this is beautiful
Absolutely breathtaking. The storytelling, animation, problem solving and production value in this video is amazing, you deserve all the followers that are coming your way !
This is… MIND BLOWING! as someone who likes crafts and is (trying) to learn animation, I can’t believe how much skill, creativity and dedication was put into this!! Also the video and editing is just so nice to watch. Super underrated, new subscriber^^
I love the way you've not only highlighted this incredible piece of work, but also how you've documented your process, including mistakes/tests along the way, ability to reflect, and think outside the box. This was really inspiring, thank you!
The amount of labour and time invested in this project is mindboggling. And how you documented the whole process and the production value, including stop motion on the different stages leading to the final product - it is truly impressive.
Animating even the most efficient way possible using layered cels and repeating frames and reusing visual components is a very time consuming and painstaking process. Aaron takes it to the next level by creating every frame as an intricate and above all permanent work of art - which is a really rewarding process. Digitally generated animations leave no physical artefacts apart from maybe a stack of hard drives.
I don't know how this has only 45k views, it's incredible! The amount of time and effort you put into this projects is amazing, I think it was worth it in the end. It turned out wonderful and even when you had to simplify it it was still good. Even the video was great too. It was well written and recorded, and quite entertaining, adding to the already cool artwork. 👍
Aaron i just stumbled onto your page. 25+yrs of mixed media animation watching/festivals/shorts curation. So glad to find your work. This was masterful. The creative process, warts and all on the journey. That organisation needed and workflow management was an immense task! The seamless insertion of the final animation into the story telling, and keeping the non masked boundary of the frames as it looped. All excellent choices.
Need to add - even the choice of such a tough medium to work in, felt was a choice, thats for sure! And i screamed at the screen that you get a bigger brush for the glue hardening step. This needs to blow up, its due a viewership at least 50x this current tally
Amaziiiiiiiiing!!!! As a stop motion animator (on my free times) I appreciate your hard work, patience and perseverance sooooo much! Loved the outcome but I think I loved more watching your process, with all the ups and downs! Besides being a great artist/animator you are an incredible story teller as well! Bravo, a million and a half times!
I admire your immense dedication for this project and that you didn't stop even when the felt cutting didn't work out. I was feeling frustrated first even thinking about it. Such an amazing result too!
Okay this is a supportive comment. Trial and error. That is process. Oh my my. I am impressed to say the least. The time you have put in this is incredible and thank you for also making this video to explain your process. I admire you and I don't know you but I loved the video. Thank you so much😊
Incredible work!! I cannot get over how much effort you put into this and how beautiful it turned out! I nearly scrolled past this video on my RUclips recommended but I had to click on it because I realized how much work it would've been from reading the title
What i find insane is the already insane amount of artistry and craft in the process of animation still is framed in a very artistic and lovingly made RUclips video that has amazing transitions (THE VACUUM CUT!) and animations for visual information! That's crazy! That's art! Incredibly work!
Great work! The amount of effort put in, and the quality of the video overall is so good, I thought you would have had a lot more subscribers, your channel is so underrated!
wow, the amount of perseverance and dedication needed to finish this project!! definitely worth it, it turned out so well! also got me thinking about the ways in which i could photograph my collages instead of just using my scanner
The idea of a felt stop motion animation seems like an evolution on when I would play with felt dolls in my childhood. Thanks for sharing all the struggles and success of your process!
only 50,000 views?!?!???!!!? the effort you put into not only the art itself, but the video editing as well has not gone unnoticed for me! i hope this video blows up with the 132,000,000 views it deserves…. this was beautiful
The amount of dedication this project took you (let alone the amazing final result) should deserve you an insane amount of success. Rooting for your journey!
I subbed before I even got a minute in, this is amazing and I admire your persistence. I love the look of felt and this is such a brilliant use of it. Just, wow. I so hope more people get recommended this video
Thank you! I agree, there is something very charming about the soft texture of felt. I’m reminded of Aardman’s short film Robin Robin on Netflix. The characters were made of craft felt I just loved the look of it.
@@AaronFisherDesign absolutely! It just has such a nostalgic and comforting feeling. It reminds me of playing with fuzzy felt as a child, moving and layering the characters to create a story. :) I'm looking forward to seeing what else you create!
Dang. This is awesome! The attention to detail in this whole video, let alone the animation, is so good! I love how when you were comparing the old design to the new one, the old one was crumpled up which gave it the feeling of being scrapped
I love love love how you walked us through all your setbacks and obstacles - I really understood your thinking process and how you tackled such a difficult project. I especially loved how you recognized that reality constraints and creative vision must strike a balance, not be in conflict. This video is phenomenal and earned a subscribe!
"Like with any art form, creative vision and real world constraints shouldn't be seen as in conflict, but as two factors needing to strike the right dance." Well said! And impressive dedication! That was a lot of work, but I really enjoyed seeing not only your thoughtfulness and consistency as you executed it, but the care and style you put into the whole video, as well. What a delight! :)
How do you only have 5k subscribers????????? The ridiculous quality of, not only the work documented in the video, but the video itself is INSANE!! I really hope this video gains more traction and your passion and dedication is recognized!!
This is incredible. I love the details. I love that you did not hide that you had problems that nothing comes out. Perfect I just love this piece of video. Thank you so much for being so real. You have my subscription.
This is one of my first comments on RUclips after 10+ years here. I just have to say that this video has some of the best animations I've seen on the platform. Truly amazing work. Glad I clicked on it
honestly, i think the speed and music used for the animation at the end is much more fitting than what is used in the short. Though the lyrics of the song saying they could live forever is very fitting with the repeating of the dance. The upbeatness of that song fits with the dancestyle too. However, this song here is more about growing old together and still loving eachother in my opinion. This creates a more nostalgic feeling that you mentioned you wanted to achieve at the beginning of the video. Other than that I love your attention to detail and was delighted when the hair highlights matched with your choosen location of the lightsource at the end. Also Cricut is known to be beginner friendly but being a pain in the A for more complicated stuff.
There's so much that goes into this. Beyond the project itself, there's this meta level view here on RUclips that in some ways is most impressive to me. I can't help but wonder where people like you come up with the time, money, energy and motivation to not simply do their hobbies, but also do this RUclips thing on top of it... Not to sound too whiney either, this is an incredibly well done piece of content. Again beyond the art and including this behind the scenes look, the music, the narration, it's all very professional looking.
This is gorgeous, massive props. The poppy colors add to that childlike feeling the felt gives even more, and I’m amazed how much movement you got out of stuff felt boards. Congratulations!!
Wow!! What a labour of love this project and production would have been! The time it took you not to just implement the idea and also document the whole process! RESPECT! You're an passionate and very talented artist, storey teller, an extremely patient person! Thank you for sharing!
I love love LOVE you cataloging and fleshing out the parts about struggles and compromises in your process. A great lesson to all artists and designers out there and a big middle finger to everyone who thinks AI can replicate the value artists and designers bring into the world.
the production quality on your videos is insane!! seeing your dedication and patience in overcoming hurdles along the way is honestly really inspiring, and it was very interesting to hear your thought process! the final product turned out amazing, and i'm excited to see what you'll do next :D
This film and that you are selling the artworks for charity is beautiful. You are incredibly talented. I hope great things happen for you as a result of this x
Thank you for sharing this! Especially sharing your struggles on the way. I often feel struggle when painting. How you solve the problems was such an inspiration.
YOU have SUCH great dedication!!! It was so inspiring seeing you not give up, especially when trying to figure out how to cut out the intricate details for your art. The result is beyond spectacular. I felt transported to another dimension; I cried!!! The children dancing against the butterfly scenery was endearingly wholesome😭💖Wish we can all live and dance in felt land 😭💖 Fantastic job!!!!!!!!!!🧡
I'm really inspired by your problem solving and determination. I'm so ready to give up on my art when something goes wrong, but the amount of effort that you put into this piece is really inspiring to me. I really needed to see this, thank you for sharing your process. the final piece was so moving, I've watched it so many times, there's too much beauty to see it all in one view

Keep up the good work 🦖
1. Why didn’t you just use a laser cutter?

What an amazing project! Appreciated how you problem solved through every glitch. I've learned so much. Thank you for sharing!
The final animation is so beautiful! You should be proud! Made me start to tear up. I think it gave the exact feeling you decided at the start. 🙌🏻
Bravo for this charming and moving result!
No idea why the algorithm sent me here, unless it’s because I watch Cricut craft videos. But I’m glad it did!!
stop motion is such a breathtaking medium
Everything about this is so incredible: the patience, the creativity, the documentation. Wow!
An amazing video and project! Absolutely shocked this hasnt blown up....yet!!
This is one of my first comments on RUclips after 10+ years here.
I just have to say that this video has some of the best animations I've seen on the platform. Truly amazing work. Glad I clicked on it
honestly, i think the speed and music used for the animation at the end is much more fitting than what is used in the short. Though the lyrics of the song saying they could live forever is very fitting with the repeating of the dance. The upbeatness of that song fits with the dancestyle too. However, this song here is more about growing old together and still loving eachother in my opinion. This creates a more nostalgic feeling that you mentioned you wanted to achieve at the beginning of the video.
Other than that I love your attention to detail and was delighted when the hair highlights matched with your choosen location of the lightsource at the end.
Also Cricut is known to be beginner friendly but being a pain in the A for more complicated stuff.
There's so much that goes into this. Beyond the project itself, there's this meta level view here on RUclips that in some ways is most impressive to me. I can't help but wonder where people like you come up with the time, money, energy and motivation to not simply do their hobbies, but also do this RUclips thing on top of it... Not to sound too whiney either, this is an incredibly well done piece of content. Again beyond the art and including this behind the scenes look, the music, the narration, it's all very professional looking.
glad this is going up!!!! amazing work & dedication 🔥
Beautiful on so many levels! Thank you for sharing your process; It's inspiring 💜
INSANE. You are a madman (lovingly). The organization and patience is absolutely mind-blowing!
This is gorgeous, massive props. The poppy colors add to that childlike feeling the felt gives even more, and I’m amazed how much movement you got out of stuff felt boards. Congratulations!!
Wow!! What a labour of love this project and production would have been! The time it took you not to just implement the idea and also document the whole process! RESPECT! You're an passionate and very talented artist, storey teller, an extremely patient person!
Thank you for sharing!
I love love LOVE you cataloging and fleshing out the parts about struggles and compromises in your process. A great lesson to all artists and designers out there and a big middle finger to everyone who thinks AI can replicate the value artists and designers bring into the world.
This just blew my mind, thanks for sharing Aaron!
Thanks Ben!
I’m stunned by the patience and work you put into this 😱😳 The animation looks soo beautiful and alive 🥰❤️
My utmost respect for pulling through a project like that!
The work that went into producing this "making of" process video is just as monumental as the final product itself. Impressive!
the production quality on your videos is insane!! seeing your dedication and patience in overcoming hurdles along the way is honestly really inspiring, and it was very interesting to hear your thought process! the final product turned out amazing, and i'm excited to see what you'll do next :D
Oh snap, this needs to blow up! And your subscriber count needs a major bump too. This is STUNNING
This film and that you are selling the artworks for charity is beautiful. You are incredibly talented. I hope great things happen for you as a result of this x
Thank you for sharing this! Especially sharing your struggles on the way. I often feel struggle when painting. How you solve the problems was such an inspiration.
that animation is so breathtaking. almost made me tear up. your art is beautiful
YOU have SUCH great dedication!!! It was so inspiring seeing you not give up, especially when trying to figure out how to cut out the intricate details for your art. The result is beyond spectacular. I felt transported to another dimension; I cried!!! The children dancing against the butterfly scenery was endearingly wholesome😭💖Wish we can all live and dance in felt land 😭💖 Fantastic job!!!!!!!!!!🧡
This should have so much more views than it dose! I enjoyed literally everything in this, great job!
I'm really inspired by your problem solving and determination. I'm so ready to give up on my art when something goes wrong, but the amount of effort that you put into this piece is really inspiring to me. I really needed to see this, thank you for sharing your process. the final piece was so moving, I've watched it so many times, there's too much beauty to see it all in one view
the song was the perfect choice, the icing on the cake which brought it all together in harmony and understanding
