  • I've been dragging my feet posting the entire film, but I wanted to keep my word on the May release date...After six months of work, two sets, and many sticky notes, I think I need to call it DONE.
    My thesis film, made entirely by me, save for the inspiring words. As stated in the credits, all of the dialogue is sourced from artist quotes from Wayne Thiebaud, Edward Gorey, Tove Jansson, and Maurice Sendak.
    Programs used; Dragonframe, Toon-Boom Harmony (Digital Lip sync before tracing), Adobe suite, and Clip Studio. I stopped counting the sticky notes after 3000 ish pieces.

      I definitely think lyrics would be helpful for the deaf/hard of hearing so they can get the whole picture. So much is conveyed with both the repetition of the song and the mundanity of it.

    This hit me hard. I'm an artist myself, and every quote resonated so deeply in my own insecurities. I worry making a life with my art will lead to my downfall. I worry im being unrealistic. But everytime, I decide its worth the risk. Its worth the dips in confidence and the long nights spent awake worrying, wondering. Its worth the work, because it makes me feel alive. I just hope it never stops feeling that way.
    Thank you for making this, it is beautiful, and so well executed. It had a lot to say, and I feel it said it all deeply and genuinely.

    When he was talking about how everyone else feels more real, I almost teared up in front of my dinner hamburger, I noticed the fries in my hand and the grey light from the window, and I thought about the colors and smells and sound, how I can connect them to this strange feeling.
    It is frustrating, that everything you experience is merely material for you to use, the things you watch, listen, and eat, after you categorize them in colors and seal them in notebooks, they are no longer yours, they belong to the eyes of the others, to critique and label, even if it is just a cold hamburger, it’s not yours, and the tears dropped, but those are not yours either.

      Im not real like...they are, am I not seeing what they see? Do they not see what I feel? How can i work in retail all day and yet...when it comes to working on my own art, my characters- the deep lore and change within them...i cant bring myself to write of them.
      I struggle to draw these days as much as I struggle to wind up my sentences...
      I too draw little faces on post-its and wonder if I'll ever put my skill to better use.

  • @okyes2753
    @okyes2753 2 месяца назад +105

    i adore the main character's design. representing someone creating as a monolithic, inexpressive entity BEFORE they begin to do their work really captures something for me. we don't see the emotions of this character, we don't see how they're feeling or why any of this matters to them without seeing their work. in a sense, the worth of their being, their emotions, and their struggles become defined by their ability to express it.
    i feel like i can relate with my own relationship to my art... a lot of the times, beyond typing it out or thinking it, drawing something can communicate my struggles infinitely better than any other way i can express it. art allows an avalanche of emotions to become an avalanche, to prove to the world that this is all we feel. pain and frustration and grief become retooled into potent inspiration.
    and when you're done them... when the emotion is passed... you're still there. you feel, not empty, but in between again. much like we can't read the emotions of character after there's no more sticky notes on top of him, without art we cannot encapsulate the entirety of how we feel. or how we're supposed to feel?
    Sometimes I revisit old work to try and feel them again for a second (such as when the character put the doodle back on). you keep them around, you hold them close to you, and for a second. you remember why you do all this
    thanks for making this :)

    It's easy to get lost in your own rollercoaster of life but sometimes it slows at the apex and you can see the sun shining over the horizon, you see others on that same ride, and for awhile you feel you aren't so alone. This resonated so deeply.

    The anger of not finding as much pleasure in creating work, running out of ideas, feeling like a failure if you dont do art well enough, or like youre wasting your time trying to purse art as a career unsure if you can really live off it, let alone do it enough to not be constantly burnt out.

    I’ve followed this project for quite a while on instagram and I am so happy for you to have completed it, and so enamoured and enthralled to have witnessed it to completion.
    As an artists myself, these quotes really do not hold back and is furthermore amplified by the way it was executed with the stop motion animation. Being an artists I find, is such a conflicting thing. You want to do it all the time and yet you don’t want to do it at all. You pour everything of yourself into it, but at the end it invokes no emotion from you post completion. It’s an endless task, but we continue to pursue it for the sake of the temporary enjoyment and so many other feelings as showcased here. (I really liked how it seemed like the colors/feelings were all pretty balanced out on the bookshelf, showing how much an array of feelings it is each day.) Maybe we do it in hopes that we invoke something in others, and that maybe the feelings we felt then can be properly conveyed.
    This work definitely reached down and grabbed some part of me that yearns for that passion, and I watched in awe as your work spilled across those framed with every second of care.

    this film was so meaningful on such an emotional level to me, it brought me back to times where i felt as though i didn’t know why i even started drawing and art in the first place, was it to draw my extreme emotions and to let it out, to doodle with friends and have fun, to express yourself as a person, as a whole. I think, for all of those things, that’s a yes! And I’m glad that drawing still makes me feel lively and has helped me cope throughout the years. Thank you for creating this film, it brought light to the thoughts and feelings that people have about themselves, their self-worth, and how it relates back to your work, i appreciate this, have a great day!!

  • @Totallyfine29_
    @Totallyfine29_ 2 месяца назад +10

    this hit so hard ,the music gave a fake feeling of joy and a numbing depressive tone to the film .Each sticky notes face had their own unique epiphanies on the concept of struggling (the sticky faces dialogue parts kind of reminded me of how JackStauber introduces characters in “Opal “), that adds complexity to how the character’s brain works , in waves scattered and deep. As a creative I am deeply insecure and needed to see this , I get stuck on the “none of this matters “ thought loop ,not because I can’t “try harder “ it’s cuz I care so much about every freaking thing deeply and I grieve a legacy, it quickly spirals to “ I don’t matter”loop , I relate to each individual sticky note face .
    Thank you truly for producing this unique body of art ❤

    every once in a while, I come back to watch this.. as an artist I relate to every single thing that has been conveyed through out this concept,, and how the character wakes up every single day and goes from “this is one of the best things I’ve ever made!” to rage, desperation, loneliness, and despair. Like I see myself IN this character, and this film really makes me feel better when I’m having a bad day, artistic wise, because it’s like someone finally gets me.
    PS. the one that hit hard for me the most was “When I couldn’t do anything else, I begin to draw out of sheer desperation. Continued, with my jaw CLENCHED.”.. LIKE it literally hit SO HARD. you captured what I felt so clearly..

    Just watched the short and God… it’s so hard to describe everything in words. First of all: the visuals. They’re soooo good! Everything about this animation is so expressive, natural and feels alive. I also really like these silly drawn faces, you made them super expressive too. I’m impressed how well you portraied everything about many artists feelings, which felt like an impossible goal for me. Like really, this animation’s visual language actually feels more clear and understandable than words. Not all people will relate to your work, but you made it so well that it can describe something which can’t really be fully described in words. It hits so close to home for me to the point it’s painful, especially when the green face started talking. “You look at them on the street and think how real their lives must be” resonates with me too much. The character without face which can speak only through images and characters has probably made so many people feel seen! I love everything about this: from visuals to the idea.

      No way, the moment your voice came through was the moment I was immersed. Your delivery was raw, and deeply human. It made sense when I saw the credits because only the voice of the artist could impart the weight of their words so poignantly. "I think I'm a lucky man. But I cry a lot. I cry because I miss people" I listened to that line several times and teared up again. I'm tearing up now just thinking about it. Our words can allow others to feel seen. But our voice can allow others to feel known. Thank you for making the decision to use your own voice. It wouldn't have been the same without it. Thank you for helping others feel known

    I started to fall into a depression. I’ve been struggling with it for a while, but I’ve been trying not to slip into it again. Noting felt real. I am constantly thinking ‘outside’ my head, taking in points of view from those around me, forgetting that I am here. I was working my day job fifty-three hours a week (I don’t mind my job though), sleeping most of the rest of what I had in the day and struggling to not lose the passion I once had with art those few times I actually was ‘awake’. I think, for the time, I have lost my passion to tell a story. The pressure and expectation I put onto myself was beginning to send me into a tailspin.. And then, just a few days ago. I let go.. I am going to try and just, exist, for a while. No expectation. No obligation. Draw when I feel like it rather than forcing it. Just, live…

Even if it's just some of the dialog, or everything that was said, I know a lot of people took something from veiwing this. Such an interesting and relatable piece. I'm curious about anything else you come up with :)

    When I open this video and started watching I was like, "man, this disney shortfilm is good" and then I find out it was like 9.1 k views and I was like WHAT?, THIS IS SO GOOD OML???.

Everything is good, he trama, the way u tell the story, the animation, u draw so well, AND the cuality of the animation is SO FRIKIN GOODD, it is so smooth, it would look like a disney movie, this inspire me, seriously, ur art is so good.

    I don’t think I’ve ever been so affected by an animation before! The symbolism, the pain, the genius, the beauty, the truth-telling. I don’t know who you are, I just found this channel today, but I will never _ever_ forget this video. TY for it.

    I ABSOLUTELY LOVED WATCHING THE UPDATES ON THIS, SO EXCITED FOR THE OUTCOME AND IT DID NIT DISAPPOINT. I WAS THRILLED TO SEE IT DONE. 🎉
    The quotes and ending felt personal in this work. It’s amazing through and through, and I felt in awe at the snappy yet fluid animation.
    The editing is also remarkable; and I am honest when I say you deserve a easy-going and wealthy lifestyle by your creative mind!!
    I hope you continue to create and inspire others such as me! But also go the path you’re happy with and live your dreams!!
    I adore this animation; the meaning and colors, etc. So I truly hope it gets the rep you deserve, and someone sees your talents!!
    Lots of love!!! 💗💗💗

    I have been following your work and to see the animation from snippets and into this film was incredible. The amount of effort you have put into this is inspiring. The whole film has so much meaning and how you have shown the struggles is amazing. Hoping to see more of your work in the future. Thank you for sharing your film with us.

    I don’t know how to explain it but this film is exactly how I’ve been feeling as of late. As an animator who just recently got out of college, I empathize and relate with the character very much. Thank you for making this!

    Oh hey! I followed your progress for this project on instagram and it’s really great to see it in full. GOD, this made me teary eyed. I absolutely love how you’ve used different artists’ quotes as the speech for our artist - it really ties in with the idea that they’re assembling their sense of self through their own work. You’ve captured that sense of happiness, burnout, and immense worry that comes with being an artist, and working to go into the animation industry myself, it definitely hit for me.
    Not even mentioning the incredible TECHNICAL aspect of this! The set is small but used wisely through its lovely intricacies like the radio and the pencils. The yarn artist figure itself really stands out and has an appealing design even before the sticky notes - the long arms are especially enjoyable. And the sticky notes adding an extra physicality to the 2d animation makes the whole vibe of this short works so well.
    Your passion for your craft and your storytelling is clear, and I’m really happy you put in the time and effort to make this.

    All the feelings of art and creativity express with a little creature animated in stop motion and using the postits to show their emotions in 2D classical animation about how can be hard to be an artist…It’s beautiful ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    this is not only extremely impressive, but is incredibly touching for a lot of artists. so many artists, including myself, have struggled with our relationship with art especially for those who want to peruse it as a career rather than a hobby. the lines you've picked are powerful, and have stuck with me still after my first watch. amazing! just honestly amazing

    this gives dont hug me I'm scared vibes in the best way possible. your style is so unique!! it's cool at the end when you see the book shelf and the yellow books are tucked on top of all the other books, almost like saying you think more about the bad days you have rather than the good days you have. it's nice seeing something i can relate to so much at an artistic standpoint and personally. this video really conveys how you can lose so much wonder from creating art, and how you can lose so much meaning in life. beautiful film :))

    I felt what this animation was trying to get across so strongly. I admire the work that went behind every detail because I know how much of a struggle it could be to make a stop motion film. As someone who makes videos and art of other media, I felt that I could understand the topic so clearly. I hope you continue to do what you do.

    This was a stunning short. I've seen many people mention that it hit really close to home, but I fear that I will have to say it once more. The insecurities and fear are so very real but you cannot stop because you don't feel like yourself if you stop. I am very thankful my best friend shared this with me and I will be looking forward to your future works :)

    This was very well made and amazingly executed. I love the the character's voice peaking through the radio, and the well-crafted visuals.
    I enjoyed making art my whole life but I didn't really want it to be my job. I majored in art but I felt burned out, and it solidified that feeling. This reminded of that. Thank you.

    • @Agpicklefeet
      @Agpicklefeet  2 месяца назад +1

      Honestly do not force yourself, burn out is so real. Believe me I felt it making this.
      Also never feel bad for not making art your career, I have friends who have done the same and its worked out- art can stay just fun and not be stressful.

    I love this so much! It’s such a good representation of a very real artist struggle. It feels like if I looked straight into the mind of an artist- in the message yes, but also the visuals. Love the mix of stop motion and paper animation, everything in this is so clever. I found your socials through the wips you posted to instagram and I was so excited to see the full film, and now it’s here! Be proud of yourself, this is awesome and inspiring
