This actually made me tear up.. seeing her hug all of her selves and embracing those sides of her made me feel warm inside. Thank you for this!
yeah, I was just about to comment something like that too! the story is just so touching and the artist really did a great job animating this ;0;

@@pb5335 ....What?
@@pb5335 how tf is it weak
I just need a hug man
Omg. This is so cool. It just reminds me of how every decision I made in life was the exact opposite of what my heart wanted. But in the end, everything was worth it because it brought me to where I'm today.
Absolutely💯❤️
THATS WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY
do you still do that? or is your mind and heart more aligned
Could you talk about an example of this?
I can’t really picture a situation where following my heart wasn’t a valid choice.
Maybe if you were to say that anxieties were also my heart but I don’t see it that way.

This was so well Animated!
I'm surprised no one replied yet-
OH MY OH IK U
Hi... Human... Wait, are you a human?
BRO
Whaaaaaa
I like the multicolored outline around the witch to show that her ghosts have merged with her once more. A great detail. Just 1 day left until this app hits the App Store...
WAIT ITS OUT TODAY!? FCK IT I WAS TRYNA GET IT ON THE RELEASE DATE BUT I might’ve accidentally stayed up literally all night. Anyway, I’ll just go photosynthesis
What's the app called?
Yeah what app?

This animation, for some reason, is giving me Steven universe vibes. This is really well done!
She's kinda like Stevonnie vibe's
@@breys-desenhando7642yeah! I see it
And plus at the end they fuse!

Beautiful. She understands and loves all the pieces of her self (even the parts that sometimes just want to sleep in, chill on the couch and do nothing, or put off neverending responsibilities). Reminds me of the videogame Celeste (in the best way possible).
Reminds me of Internal Family Systems therapy. Parts work is great!
I need to play that game then ! I liked this animation
Wooow, I've been struggling with depression, ADHD, heavy procastination etc, and seeing her embracing those sides of her personality and "learning" to control them, going out and see other people who are also seeking that kind of magic, like going to teraphy and move foward or in the process of learning about themselves, makes me feel less lonely and very warm, this is BEAUTIFUL
You are not alone. I have the same struggle. This movie really touched me too. It speaks to me. We got this, slowly but surely ❤
"You can only move forward when you accept yourself"
Hard to achieve, but it's possible to open that door. Lovely animation.
I like how when she does something that doesn't match what she wants to do, she splits into different ghosts, and only by gathering up her ghosts is she allowed to leave her house. I like to think that every witch in that world, and even regular people in real life, have to go through this sometimes. It's nice.
Not a single second wasted, just pure storytelling. Not only is it beautifully animated, it’s so heartfelt and honest in such a short amount of time. Truly a work of art :’)
I think you should know this genuinely made me cry. It wasn’t full on sobbing, just more of a gentle laugh accompanied by tears. Maybe it was the colors, the beautiful instrumentals and soft humming, or the message behind it all, but this was so beautiful and I’m genuinely at a loss right now. I think this short animation captures so much in a short amount of time, and does so expertly. I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful piece with us. I’m startled by how much it affected me, but in the best kind of way, and I wanted you to know that.
It's so beautiful, right? I almost cried too ;)
Looking for someone in the comments who experiences this as deeply as I do, and that’s you :) thank you for commenting
The amount of goosebumps I got from this 1 minute film is insane. From the music to the animation and art it’s just so UGH. 10/10 would recommend this masterpiece,
If you don’t get out of bed, you can’t start the day…if you don’t get off the couch, how will you see how beautiful it is outside…if you don’t water your plants, how will they ever grow?
If you stay in your house…how will you be around the people you love?
It feels so mature, and I get those feelings…freaking brilliant!
Incredible short! Great message as well. I loved how alive the light was throughout the entire story. Impressive work
THIS IS SO GOOD!!!! the contrast of colors from inside to outside and the lighting is insane!!!
This fills me with so much warmth. The music and sound design of her separating and then merging was just so perfectly tuned, it gave me goosebumps
short, but it has a great message.
That message being that despite your short comings, no matter how lazy you are, those are parts of you that make who you are and you should love yourself because of them. Dont think of them as bad parts of yourself. (hope I'm not getting the message wrong lol)
dang that really captures the feeling of struggling with depression and managing to push through a day after a bad slump of not being able to get yourself to do anything for a few days/weeks
What a beautiful and impactful story! I really connected with this story considering I started practicing witch craft to help with my mental health. All what was shown in this short I feel I had experienced over time myself. Such a beautiful story and beautiful art style. Thank you and everyone who contributed for taking the time to create and share this short.
This has singlehandedly convinced me to buy procreate dreams and make an attempt at serious animation
when you keep accidentally losing your soul
in all seriousness this was so so beautiful i cant even put it into the words. It was just so smooth and everything flowed just right :)
Love it. This even reminds me of the amazing Satoshi Kon’s Ohayo.
That’s what I thought too
Oh yeah Ohayo is one of my favorite very short films!! Satoshi Kon is a legend
My mental health is unstable and there would be some months in the year that my state is bad. I went to the doctor and i was diagnosed as a 'borderline' type of an anxiety disorder. Still, even though im in a borderline area, it got me so bad to the point that those days when my mental health is down, my daily life is ruined. My room is a mess, my plants died, I cant sleep until 2am, my body got weaker with constant negative feelings.
For real, the time passed by like a blink of an eye. Last time you rememeber is when you bought this plant into your house, and the next moment you realize how much time passed by is when you entered your room, saw yourself in the mirror and noticed the dead plants in your room... I cant describe how it felt, but I was breaking down, i felt shocked, i felt numb.
This video is reflecting my feeling so well, only people who experienced these feelings before will understand how accuracy this animation demonstrates. Amazing work, I cannot tell how grateful I am to wander around in youtube and accidentally click into your video by chance. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing. It can be so incredibly hard sometimes. Wishing you the best. Starlings (and other birds) sing notes that are too high for the human ear to perceive, but they are still singing
I feel that way too.
Well sometimes.
I feel like this captures how it feels to finally have motivation to do anything.
This is beautiful
I love these visuals, and I love the little boiling animations on the light coming in through the door - gorgeous work like this has me SO excited to see how procreate dreams will take the indie scene by storm. Amazing work!!!!!
I have tears in my eyes for some reason. The way she hugged herself
she showed love to the challenging parts of herself. we can all practice this kind of compassion
I want to see that as a movie it is so well done and you can see the amount of thought put into it
when the witch ends up calling her ghosts for a hug, I almost cried 😭 its really a moment of love
I didn’t even notice the “procreate dreams commission” and was coming back to say I saw it on the ad ^^
awww this was such a lovely animation with such a feel good vibe. REALLY LOVE THIS. cant wait to try out the procreate dreams!!!
i shouldn't say 'feel good vibe' but more like... wholesome story telling about love. thank you for this
Thank you so much for your kind words!!
Wow this looks amazing 🤩🤩🤩
The thumbnail gave me big DID/plural vibes, and the film did not disappoint 💕
To me this looks like a visual representation of coping with grief. Those parts when you want to give up but you don't and then you are proud of yourself, you collect the pieces and go into the world. Wholesome.
yes! especially with grief its important to give yourself grace and to take a moment to feel the feelings when you can, thats kind of what the hug is about
Its beautiful how she acknowledged the other parts of herself too!. Really loved pointing this out
OMG!!! Every cell in my mind just imploded thinking that you made that with Dreams!!! Amazing Sir, Amazing!!!
AGHDHS THISNIS SO COOL,, idk if it was on purpose but all the three hugging made a heart !! So cute,,
We need a Toontorial and An official OST it's so beautiful 😭💖💙💚💜
This animation feels so warm and comforting.
Me encanta 🥰
It can be hard to get yourself up and moving in the morning. You just gotta give yourself a little love and assurance.
Wait this made me so emotional, I wasn’t expecting this wholesome bomb when I started watching
Didn’t think a lil animation would make me cry like that but ya did it 😭
From start to finish, this animation was perfect. As someone who has and still deals with depression and other mental health issues, I feel so represented by this work. It highlights small accomplishments like getting out of bed or watering plants as significant feats. Even if it's something as simple as getting off your phone, it's still a step towards getting better. The way she acknowledges that she is not perfect by embracing her flaws at the end brought me to tears. Absolutely excellent work.
My eyes are just bewildered
Congratulations to you and your team on accomplishing this beautiful short for Procreate. Amazing, thought-provoking, encouraging and inspiring. I loved it. Love the background, the color and you did an amazing job as a director, and with your animation Michael, inspired me! 🙌
that made me tear, I loved how she embraced all her other versions.
Here I am ugly crying at 7:40am :’) for years and still now it is so hard to get out of bed, get off of my phone, get out of my head. But this year I’ve been really trying to change this part of my life, and in therapy I’ve been learning to hold compassion for myself. And for who I used to be. I am audhd and have a whole lot of mental health stuff and so I relate so profoundly of how heavy it is to try and even just get out of bed. I love the progression of one step leading to another, each ghost manages to help themself more than the last. I love the healed and healthy witch who instead of resenting their past selves, has self compassion and shows love to themself. And how carrying that knowledge and love for how far they’ve come, they are able to be their full self and truly appreciate the beauty they have in their life. They have a reason to push themselves out of bed, outside each day. This gives me motivation to keep trying, even when I fail, and always with love and compassion for myself - former and now.
genius detail with the friends at the end also having outlines. we all struggle the same battles. silently. it's a subtle reminder that we aren't alone
That was so beautiful it gave me a tear in my eye 😭😭
I would watch a full season of this, he'll a movie would be amazing over this consept, I love this
This made me cry
Brings me to tears. The peace and simplicity i crave is right here.
bro disappeared for 2 years and dropped 2 bangers
everyone are chasing the expressive word, trying to hook people into watching their video...But this video just proved that you just have to show dont tell...i clicked on this video out of pure curiosity to see what people are creating with procreate dreams and this one is by far the best i have come across..love to see more of such beautiful animation and storytelling
In less than a minute I became so emotionally invested. Beautiful animation. Beautiful art style. Beautiful story. ❤
I’m actually in tears how is this so beautiful
I was on a music hunt and almost skipped this because it was an animation instead of music, and I am glad I didn’t skip it. It was surprisingly emotional and a very welcome reminder to be more gentle with ourselves without letting ourselves off the hook. She still took them off the bed, couch, avoidant behavior but with love.
This is one of the most beautiful stories! I love how she brought all of her parts together in the end. I would absolutely watch more and more of her. I want to know more.
this reminds me of how I got over depression, you have to love your old self. And the choices you made.
Wow... A short animation, but _stunning._ It was as long as it needed to be. Perfect.
This is so insanely beautiful
This was great. Reminds me of me. I never want to leave the house 😂
This is the best procreate dream animation I have seen yet!
Needing every part of yourself in order to be whole and proceed to the next part of life. Pretty heavy meaning right here.
This is such a beautiful and well made little video 🥹🥺
Omg this is actually me. 😮❤ Even the 3 colors..
didn't think a one minute animation would make me cry
This was amazing. The character, concept, background work.... Everything gave such a smooth, calming, sweet vibe that just makes me want to watch this over and over again
this feels like adhd and i love it
Bro this is freaking beautiful wow I’m crying
This is beautiful, moving and emanates love. I cried. Thank you.
I love this😭😭💜 you pay great attention to detail
Whoa dude. I’m gonna watch this every day to inspire me, because DANG it’s effective.
Wow, this even touched me a bit. Very nice
This is so awesome Michael. Hard to believe this was done on an IPad!
The end was very Steven universe and I loved that this was amazing for a procreate animation 🔟🔟🔟
I have tears in my eyes. This resonates so much with me. I have been struggeling with depression for most of my life and only recently got help. I am so much better now, but I am also fighting everyday with unhealthy habits that I have been giving into for so long. And everyday I am so proud of myself for doing the supposedly most mundane things.
wow thank you for sharing. i also have struggled for a long long time with mental health challenges. so happy to hear that you found help! its not easy but we’re all doing our best bit by bit and those small victories are something to celebrate
She was so tender with all of her ghosts ,,
I translated that to leaving the bad habits behind, there is time enough for them later. I struggle with those bad habits too, and feeling guilty because of them. It's easy to just sit, but it's better to just get up. Nice video reminder.
Thanks. I can't express what a push that gave me. It just did. Thank you
thankyou for sharing it means a lot :)
Wow you did all these cool animations
this is just an warm and beautifull animation. i love it.
This is magical. I was expecting something a little dark, but was warmly greeted with something so soft and I'm in love with that.
I feel this so much. This animation is incredible and touching. I relate because a myriad of times I've wanted to just stay in bed and do nothing, feeling strangely numb and apathetic but also the times I actually tried and managed to overcome this feeling and take another step. It's gorgeous!
thank you so much. so happy to hear it spoke to you
This is beautiful, can't imagine how much time, thinking and hard work it took ❤❤❤
This hit me directly to my heart 😢❤
I’m not crying YOURE CRYING
Very uplifting. Makes me feel at ease and am ready for a peaceful night's sleep. Thank you.
I really like the idea, good concept
This just make me so genuily happy and hit me hard in a personal spot, my heart it's biting hard rn
The quality is amazing! You really made it!
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL WOW I FELT MY BODY SHIVER WHEN SHE HUGGED THEM ALL 😭
I accidently synced it withh with "Hate me" by Eurielle, it added a sad ethereal note to the over all animation. The animation is really beautiful!
The QUALITY OF DREAMS !!!!
It is really cute and beautiful I love it it is a really good idea
Love it so much! The story and animation are great!😍
This hit so close to home. Sometimes I just need to get up and do it, it’s hard but it’s worth it
This is one of the most beautiful things I've watched. Made me tear up. I watched this on your TAD talk today and was tearing up in public 😅😂 it just made me emotional and I related so much to it. I've had some tough times mentally throughout my life and I still do, but nowadays I manage to handle them just like the witch, being more compassionate with myself and learning to embrace the parts of me that may be more challenging or make me feel lost and confused at times. These are all me and I gotta keep navigating life as the whole being I am. Thank you for reminding me of that through this animation.
This is absolutely amazing.
