The fact that we want to know what’s in the box just shows how much we appreciate are are captivated by the story😊. Very nice job- you will go far.
A cake with a midget, a donkey and a honeycomb, going into a brothel.🤷🏿♂️
I know. I wanted to know too.
^___^
Life is strange.
A Gift which can't be named in the public may save one's life during an identity crisis. Fantastic Film ☺️
For a while, I thought the cyborg buying the pretty necklace was a cop-out for appreciating what he has, like the present. But just as I previously made the analogy that his gift represents his flaw, I realized the necklace represents something important too. It reflects the cyborg's effort to better himself. It would be so easy for him to just go home and give her (the special someone) his present, and he wouldn't have had that run-in with his doppelganger. But he reason he bought the necklace is because it signifies he wants to be a better person for her. That's love right there.
Wow, justice is served, no angst or mistaken identity involving numerous chase scenes, explosions, probably death and break up of family, home life, friends etc. Just a simple deception immediately solved I LOVE it!!
Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before!
@Miggs lol
Periodt💅✨
Pfp checks out
@@tiberiusmarie4919 what are you trying to imply
This is a nice film! Taught me a lesson that anyone can pretend to be you and the only way to prove it is to be honest! 😅
Also I forgot to mention that anyone can put the blame on you no matter how much you know them or not.
I'd like to think whatever embarrassing gift was inside that box, it symbolizes what he perceives as his flaws. Sometimes, our flaws are what makes us one of a kind.
This is a wonderful short film, everything was neatly done. The story, the animation while lacking non robotic movements it was still good. The voice acting is good enough. 8/10 Great Story.
Astounding work!! The animation is absolutely incredible, and I felt captivated by the story. I love the fact that the viewers don't have access to the content of the box; it illustrates that each individual is in the possession of something so intimate that no one can access since that something isn't part of them, consisting of a separate type of "matter". We're all children of the stars, but each star has its own way of shining :))
Finally a short film with an ending people get!!!! Loved it.
Nat - you are amazing! This is beautifully done! We are so proud of all your accomplishments and awards! What's in the box? 🙂
Lmao! My curiosity has gotten the best of me, but then I remember it's not the point! Lol
Anyone want to explain why this doesn’t have THOUSANDS OF MORE VIEWS???? It’s so good 😭
Wow! This needs more views, the animation and the voice acting is amazing, I’ve seen videos with way more views with not as good execution. Great work! 👍🏻 👏🏻
WOW. Brilliant short. Congratulations on all the festival awards!
Very nice ,and brilliant idea ...knowing he's identity first is more important to know the truth and the box is a big help for him..to know who is the real wanted ......I like this film much....😁
Okay but like- what's in the box?!
Probably lingerie or "toys"
Well done Nat, you have inspired me with your works since you were 7 years old. Keep up with your dreams and you'll hit the moon

No can steal your identity, Kasi ikaw Ang nakakakilala sa sarili mo. People may mistakenly see you the way they thought you were, but justice is held to those people who know themselves!
So can you tell me what was in the box lol?! Great short film!! What software do you use to create your animations also? Thanks for sharing!!
Lol
The AI police is so smart...
I wonder what's in the box
Yeah, what is in the box?
Something tells me it's actually clothes...
a dirty one
A bra
Fifty fifty a sex toy
WHATTTT!!! WHHHAAAAHAHAHAHATT- THIS IS GHE ONE OF THE MOST IF NOT THE MSOT BEAUTIFUL THINGS IVE EVER SEEN
IM ON THE VERGE OF TEARS ITS SOGOOD! THE SCRIPTING THE ANIMATION AND PLOT THE EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD.. Such a shame this is so underrated-it’s unbelievable!! The awards were well earnt!
wait so, what's in the box? you can't just leave us hanging here
I'm guessing it's something... intimate.
Love the colors. The most on city scape 🤩👍
Thank you for amazing works
This was a plot twist. Great work!
Neat Nat, the shot of the necklace on the mannequin chest looked so realistic.
That was neat! Really, really well done and beautiful. Congratulations!!
Well portrayed in beautiful black and white. Keep up your good work, SR.
Nice and wholesome before bed 😊 thank you, everything was cute, smooth, cool and pretty. I loved the designs and colours, the cyborg rover was cool too
even if it seems to you that your all features are same with everyone, you have a special gift box that no one knows what it has inside; it makes you, you. it doesnt have to be awesome, you may not like what do you have, but it doesnt diminish its pravicy and exclusiveness.
The animation, art, and world design is so very beautiful! I didn't care much for the identity theft plotline but everything else was still very well done
Ohmygoddd the expressions of the robots aaaa
That robocop made a smarter decision than most human cops would!
Much rather watch this simple, clever story for 6 mins than the extra hour and a half of shoot 'em up chase scenes, because the cops are too stupid to initiate such a basic inquiry at this point in the film. Hollywood should learn from this! Thank you.
the designs are so fun 🥺
But .. what's in the box ? 🙊
Glad those Police Bots are smart and reasonable.
this is incredible, i wish it could be a series!
0:20 Welcome to Black Mesa... 🙂
It reminded me of that too
@@floatinginspace1720 Ahah!😄😄
But what’s in the box
We will never know I guess
Keep working ... Quality grabs attention ...
Drawing and everything is really cool!
This was beautifully done!
what's 👏 in 👏the 👏box 👏tho👏
Well, we know it's not chocolate! If he was my boyfriend, now I would be dating the evil twin/ doppleganger / real deep fake / Anubis thief 😂
Great work! Love the colors! 😄
Love this!!! The guy is so cute like a hot nerd type if I may😋😂😂 anyway keep up the good work!!❤️✨
Very nicely done. Enjoyed the short story.
Concept superb 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
this is gonna keep me up at night man
WHATS IN THE BOXX!!!!!
Aww he looks so sweet
Whats in the box!!!!
This is wrapped with warmth. ❤️
Well done and a clever idea well executed.
Life is not between birth and death; life is not the series of activities nor the journey. Life is eternal. We, the spiritual being, are said to be a life particle. We bring life to the temporary body while we are in it.
I loved the animation but I wonder what was inside of the box 🤔
Beautiful artistic a work of art legendary wonderful Beauty well done m8 so well done bravo
great man . keep up the good work🙋👍
That jewelry sales-bot was superb
I love tha movie dude and the character are also very attractive
First, the common criminals mistaken him as the most dangerous one.
Second, the police are smart to test which one is the real dangerous wanted criminal.
This is amazing! Really talented animation work and great story!
Moral of the story: Stay on the bus
Really enthralling story!! 😍😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩🤩
But I wonder how can we be both a robot and human 🤔🤔
I liked that Pulp Fiction homage.
so what's inside the box thenn??
How unfair is that add to make you doubt yourself for the price tag or "value" of your gift to your loved one... and what a lesson that he realised his own worth by the uniqueness of his gift... do we all need life-or-death situations to realise our own worth is always superior to what this consumerist society can impose as "valuable"? ...
Exelente ✌😊👍✨💫👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Stunninggggggg
Yes identity is very important everyone
There's of course a MacGuffin in that parcel.
I love it so muccchh! 😍😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
