Oh my heart this is so beautiful! I loved all the nuances of his character also - like keeping his childlike innocent movements even as an old man. This is so lovely🌱

Stark. But I guess it's better than nothing if "something happened where they were." Pretty lonely and forlorn child. Do we imagine that he spawns an ecosystem ?

[@KootFloris]

Yes, perhaps the result of all of humanity concludes with sending some seeds of life into the universe, to make the wonder of life happen on potential planets.

Damn.

The Un-Superman story with an almost generational slow starship.
"I understand my purpose" indeed.

So, he traveled all that way. To become fertilizer.
Hey if it works it works.

[@user-hz2xl4co9u]

Surprised me with the ending. Well done. Great animation, story. I really wish someone would take on the challenge of Titan. Would love to see this animated. John Varley, my favorite author. (Has 2 sequels after that) 😃

I dont understand why the device exploded and killed him, I can only assume it was intentional, but why do things this way.

[@lordjesuch6466]

One of my most favorite short film.
But I hope no one will use that landing trick.

Bravo Matthew. Superbe travail. D'la job en svp! Fait du bien quand c'est toi qui call les shots :)

[@mattrouleau9487]

Merci! Super gentil Robert, j'apprecie. Et oui c'est le premier projet que je livre ou chaque shot est une v001 ;) haha!

[@larsstougaard7097]

Thank you 🎉

[@fabled-pilgrim]

Wow, what a brilliant film. The isolation and vulnerability of the man-child was palpable. The ending really crept up on me, excellent story, well told. Just one niggle I had was that the narrator was a younger man when it clearly should have been the voice of an older man. I found this quite distracting which broke immersion but the film's other strengths made up for it.

[@mattrouleau9487]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed!

[@sallymiller1533]

[@hungri-yeti1885]
