    My second year film at Calarts!
    This dream project would not have been realized without the support of my lovely classmates and film teachers, namely Henry Yu, Amarise DeFranco, Mina Chacko, Janelle Feng, Jaimi Qiu, Thet Chal, Veda Lee, Monica Ekabutr, Asher Borison, and my friends and family. Truly, thank you all so much aiding and guiding me through the storm this year 🥹 Thank you thank you thank you!! 🥰
    I'm planning to make a behind the scenes video soon, walking through this project was a chaotic 9-months of my life. I'm so happy I made it to the other end, and I would love to ramble all about it!! 😇

    Damnnn this is so amazing. The toxic behaviors from both of them make this so enticing and gripping to watch from start to finish. At first you think the long haired girl is the one in the wrong, she killed another girl to get the spot. Then it's revealed that Bac has basically been stalking her to a kinda creepy level. The long haired girl knows this and uses this information to manipulate her. And it's done so well too! She first says, "It was obvious" about Bac's love for her and then later says that she wasn't sure if she should tell Bac as she "wasn't sure she was right." These two statements contradict each other but it's done purposefully to manipulate Bac as at first she's essentially telling Bac that her stalking and keeping her hair is okay, and then getting her to forget about the horrendous act that the long haired just committed via confession and effectively securing her loyalty for covering up the murder. Such excellent writing and story in a short time period!

    Don't let this distract you from the fact that the long-haired girl murdered an innocent girl for her own selfish desires and is using her knowledge of her friend's crush on her against her to manipulate her into going along with her plan and staying silent. I mean, honestly, if she is willing to kill the innocent for something like that, she'll go for her friend next if she ever steps out of line.

    I could be wrong, but what if Ai is mildly allergic to flowers and only smelled one at 1:39 so she could tear up and make her performance more convincing? We see at 1:47 that her tear doesn’t have the same color at Bac’s. This could easily be an animation inconsistency, but given the attention to detail the animators have the entire film, I could be right in my assumption. Also, at the end her tears are the same color as Bac’s, meaning she actually felt emotional in that shot. I can’t wait for the creator’s commentary video to see if this is mentioned! :D
    Edit: based on the responses I got, I now think the flower doesn’t really have to do with the tear, but the fact that it is not colored still comes across as that was a crocodile tear. Ai was using her acting skill to fake cry in that shot, while on the last one she was really crying.

She seemed to force herself to say she cared about the other girl, and then she brought out her acting skills (her voice pitching up, her actions suddenly exaggerated as she brings her hands to her face). She was manipulating the other girl’s love for her in order to buy her silence. Or at least that’s how it came across to me.

      @@och8516 That I won’t deny. But I also wouldn’t say she deserves emotional manipulation because of it. A police report, yes; but not getting roped into being an accomplice when the girl she likes turns out to be of the murdering type. It’s almost like a Joker/Harley situation, where neither of them are stable or virtuous, but one of them _is_ more sympathetic due to the other taking advantage of them.
      I’m very aware that Cam is the real victim, but Bac does have my pity. Taking advantage of her feelings was an awful thing for Ai to do (and no, I do not believe for one second that the feelings are actually mutual; otherwise why didn’t she say anything about it before this? Ai is just really good at thinking on her feet and knew that leading her on would guarantee Bac’s silence without leaving behind more evidence than she needs to).

    woah...WOAH. This plot is insane. It hits like a brick. So many things are unknown, but from what we the audience have witnessed, this is a story of murder, betrayal, manipulation, love, triumph, and desperation. So many emotions, so many obstacles. And the art! Oh the art perfect. Smooth simple lines for expressions of such a complex nature. Beautiful soft, almost pastel colors, clashing with the final scene of jarring neon magneta and daunting blue. Bravo to everyone involved in this project!
    I do hope you expand on this story. It left me so intrigued as to what comes next.

    I love how theatrical the love gesture from the bloodied girl is,
    When the other girl picked that flower, it was subtle, it was small but it was genuine
    It’s so obvious the bloodied girl is using her and yet I feel like maybe, in another life where she didn’t up and murder someone, but that isn’t to say the other girl doesn’t have any metaphorical blood on her hands either, she’s obsessed to an unhealthy degree and it makes me think that even if this incident didn’t happen, they still wouldn’t be a happy couple, nor would they be happy people,

      why don't more people just burn the bodies of the victims they kill? Along with all their clothing, weapons and other evidence. Seems like an easy way to get rid of any proof you did the crime. I mean it's not like it's hard to make fire these days. Or maybe completely burning a body requires a lot more heat than I expect.

    • @katarinacarrico7887
      @katarinacarrico7887 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      It's hard to tell how she feels about the other girl, but I think that while she does care about her on some level, the look on her face when she first brings up the stalking shows disgust before she hides it through a careful monotone, then the obvious manipulation with the "I wasn't sure I was right" and so on. And I'm not 100% sure, but notice how Ai's (the long haired girl) tears are clear while the other girls are blue? I think that was supposed to show they were fake tears. And later when they were next to the fire her tears are blue, so I think that was a purposeful choice. What those purposeful tears mean could be a lot: relief, fear, appreciation, exhaustion. But not love.

    There is this sound effect that plays, it gets louder and louder. This sound effect was also played when Bac said "I care about you too!" and also here when they are sitting together in front of the fire. Does this sound have to do with Ai's manipulation getting to Bac? The sound played when Bac started to fall for it, and played when Bac completely fell for it.
    Poor girl, although she is a bit creepy, I still feel bad for ber. This relationship is already so toxic, and seeing how Bac completely missed the manipulation coming from Ai, something tells me this definitely won't be the last time it happens.

Plus, despite all the manipulation and weird situation and all, they seem like they would genuienly be such a great power couple. Kudos to you, this is fantastic.

    This animation is amazing! It's so condensed and tells so much story so quickly. But each twist adds up. The initial shock of the murder and the weak justification so we initially sympathize with the witness's horror. Then we see how she's toxic too, and we get the power shift as the witness is swayed so easily over to murderer's side.
    And then that they are crying together even as they don't seem to have any regret for the murdered girl. So intense!
