@02:33It's a fiction book about a "perfect" world where everyone is the same, is assigned jobs and lives, and there is no color. One person is designated to take all the memories because they can "see" things different from everyone else. It is pretty cool!
have a lazy Wikipedia link

@00:18Um... was he asking for death or something?

It was cool and all, but i still don't quite understand it.

~MissTwist May 1, 2010

@03:00That was gorgeous. I do hope you get the time to do another some day, or the big budget and studio to do it real large.

@02:28I'm looking forword to the next instellment

Close!! You got the role of the Nametaker right... he's based on the mythological figure of Azrael (who has the same job of those fates that you mentioned).
The people with wings are 'nothings' in a way. They have no body, no direct sensations, are formed of nothing but thought and never die. The kid is asking to be made real, to be given a body.... and the Nametaker is telling the Kid (later called Enda) that there are sensations that he won't find pleasant (and implying that if he gains a body, he'll end up dying). So the same sort of thing, with slightly different details.

*spoonbard Feb 3, 2008 Professional General Artist

*spoonbard Feb 3, 2008 Professional General Artist

@02:21^_^ Thanks! yeah, when you start contemplating the absence of something that you've never been without, it's very hard (if not impossible) to imagine.

Rolighed: Animated Shortby *spoonbard

Film & Animation / Animation / 2D / Fantasy

Apologies for yet another upload of this to all who've seen it before... I'm taking advantage of the fact that I've just joined the Deviantart Film section to upload a higher quality version that you can watch from the deviantart page, and annotate and all that!

--------------VERSIONS-------------

DVD with full TV quality is available to buy here!

The DVD also includes 3 extra short animations.

Watch it on youtube here!

-----------------INFO----------------

Creation: The animation was created by me over a 6 month period as my final project for an Animation course at Kingston Uni.

Story: The story and characters are based on a scene from a story by *kandinsky-prince This was originally meant to be a trailer of sorts for a full length manga that we were pitching to Tokyopop. Unfortunately it never went through, and development on the story is now on hold for the foreseeable future.

Language: Completely made up by me and *kandinsky-prince! Based loosely on Spanish with smatterings of other languages.

Music and Sound: Music composed, and sound provided by the audio-gifted ~moosebeast

Technical Info: About 80% of the animation is hand drawn in pencil, scanned and coloured in Photoshop, then composited in After Effects. 3D Backgrounds, and the 'hall of fingers' animation created in Maya, with toon shading for lines, and hand made textures.

--------------EDIT------------

Wow! a DD!! @@ Thanks to everyone who has commented and faved, and thanks especially to *pixieface for the suggestion and ^feawen for the feature!!

Given 2008-02-01

Rolighed Animated Short by *spoonbard It was completely hand-drawn by the artist who made it - all the cels were pencil drawn and then coloured and finished on computer. I just think it's a lovely and eeirie short film, and the amount of work it must have taken is astonishing. ( Suggested by ~pixieface and Featured by `feawen )
