Glad to see the animators getting recognition just like the singers! 😊 The directing and visuals of the video are a huge part of the success of The Read Ahead. These individuals have so much talent and passion! 😀 Thanks for the hard work put into this! 👍
wow. the amount of effort put in to make a MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE NATIONAL DAY SINGAPORE 2021.. I affirm the hard work and effort that the animators and techinical Directors put into this music video. let us all be grateful towards those animators and Technical Directors who created this music video for Singapore
I follow corridor crew's "VFX artist reacts" and one of the things they highlight is that it is hard to do fluid animation -- it amazes me how seamlessly y'all animated water movements over actual water e.g., when the taichi lady moves her feet, you can see her animated leg displace and "splash" some water; or the kids splashing water in singapore river. Would watch a whole 30 min episode of the process
your animations is what makes this fabulous song even more heartwarming and special. If I could, I would have given this video a thousand 'likes' ! Thank you for your contribution! - from a proud Singaporean
Love final outcome! I really want to drop a word of appreciation to our animators and all those directors and folks involved to make the timing and flow so seamless and even emotionally engaging!
An amazing effort by the whole design team. I first heard the song together with the video. The first thing that caught my attention in this video were the beautiful visual graphics choreographed into the music. Unique ideas, hours of unwavering effort, hard work and tireless dedication put into every detail. The highest commendation to the whole team. World class...
THIS is what 2020+ was supposed to look like. So many nuggets in the works that really lowkey add value to the whole video. Hopefully this can be a museum exhibition after NDP!!
I watched it from New Zealand. Well done! I appreciate the inclusivity built in the sequences. Absolutely love the animations! and the smooth transitions from one segment to another. Very thoughtfully put together.
Warms my heart to see the behind-the-scene production team gets the spotlight. Very high quality work all round! It’s been a while since a NDP video made me teared.
So beautifully and seamlessly done!! Loved everything about this year's song .... really appreciate and thank all behind this project for giving us such a wonderful gift this year!! Great job!! Thanks!! 👍🏼👌🏼👏🏼
Thank you team for putting your heart and soul into the crazily amazing animation!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Love all the segments! ❤️ Totally relatable and some nostalgic, your work has definitely enriched the video, good job guys! Continue what you are doing and hopefully your work can be recognised internationally one day!
Happy to see this “behind the scenes “ video .. put focus on the young people working hard to produce this beautiful piece of work.. I’m sure there are a wide spectrum of talented people of varying ages .. I am confident Singapore's young will lead us to better times on the Road Ahead.. 👍
It is great that the people working on the music video behind the scenes also get the recognition. I am not someone with an artistic flair but their work touches my heart. Kudos.
Thank u to NDPeeps, for sharin this behind-the-scenes video! Clearly huge amts of effort have been put into this year's NDP song ㅡ the songwritin, the MV, the animations, evrythin little thing about it... Many thanks to the different teams of ppl that made this possible. 🥰🥰
Props to everyone who were involved in this! As a 20+ YO, it's heartening to see how the NDP songs have evolved throughout the years (not forgetting the older classics like "Home"), but this really hit the spot for me this year :')
The animation is sooooo impressive and creative! Thank you to the animators, video producers and every single contributor that led to the completion of this beautiful and painstaking masterpiece! 💕💕💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic! Keep up the great work! It’s so assuring that this production actually come from the young generation, which makes this MTV so current and appropriate now.
Keep it up guys! I really loved the segment “parades of the past”, really tugs on the heartstrings and humbling as we’re reminded of the Singapore spirit from our pioneer generation. I like how they’re in awe of the skyscrapers in their immigrant costumes. Really encouraging especially for our current youth of what we’ve achieved and reminds us to strive on for more.
Guys, phenomenal job! Amazing… Thank you for bringing memories to live! I did wish swimming and violin were featured for the sports and culture segment (the step off the bumboat)… it would have been such a nod to our own talent for achieving the highest possible honors in their own fields (J Schooling and C Chua)… Serving as inspiration to the young ones as we look ahead. Nonetheless, it was really great. Maybe next time! Ha…
Your team are Amazing! Thanks so much for Everything! The song, the animation and the dance. It's so fun! I learned it from my P1 niece, Melody Goh a few days ago. I am now learning the song then the dance so I shall dance with her. Together, Our Singapore Spirit! Yeah...!
For the NDP 2021 Theme Song, The Road Ahead, animation and lyrics are the Best, for music, Chorus is very nice but other verses are not so lively. Thank you all for all the Heart work.
It really warms my heart to know that all the animators are getting paid (well, hopefully) during these trying times.
Singaporeans with Singaporeans!
This year's vid was amazing, hopefully there's more next time :)
Mhm!
yeah they're right
'Stronger Together' also very nice NDP song too like 'The Road Ahead'!
Glad to see the animators getting recognition just like the singers! 😊

Thanks for the hard work put into this! 👍
Absolutely love the animation of the boy ballerina 🩰 at 0:39! It’s about time we shatter gender stereotypes!
I'm quite sure it's a gymnast

2021 National Day Theme Song MV: The Road Ahead was wonderfully done with details and great animations. Overwhelmingly impressive.
Keep it up guys! I really loved the segment “parades of the past”, really tugs on the heartstrings and humbling as we’re reminded of the Singapore spirit from our pioneer generation. I like how they’re in awe of the skyscrapers in their immigrant costumes. Really encouraging especially for our current youth of what we’ve achieved and reminds us to strive on for more.
Superb job guys! Truly love the animations especially the garden which is soooo beautiful😊
Im glad they were able to have some light to this accomplishment
I love the anime … has potential to even make a short length movie or series about our pioneers
FANTASTIC WORK! So creative and if I could compare the story telling, it is as good as Pixar!
Love it! Thank you team!
This is 1 of the best animation I'd seen for NDP songs and the ideas behind it is very relatable and gel very well with the song! Brilliant!
I’m so impressed! It’s really a work of art and I enjoyed it totally! Best production of a NDP song ever! ❤️❤️❤️
