A small project that I've been working on for about a month. Had a lot of fun making this and learned lots of new things too. This one was quite a challenge but I enjoyed it, hope ya'll like it :)

Honestly this feels like a prologue to an animated series and I would love more of the story and lore. It's clear the effort you put into this and it came out so beautifully, I never get tired of watching it.

Fun fact! Most people who get hanged have their neck snapped by the sheer weight of the drop. Realistically, there was a every high chance that he was supposed to die by the fall itself. Great animation!
That is literally the only problem I could find. Nice work.
"fun fact"
Thats not really a FUN fact but its a fact.
That was my exact thought aswell 'girl you're a bit late"
"Not so fun fact"*
I can’t believe this only took a month 😱 this is amazing, I really felt the tension. Lighting and textures are so pretty, creative shots too
Thank you :D
@@skepticboi hi i loved the art, how did you even do this short animation film,interesting. And love it.
did he also draw the background if so then it really is amazin :0
Well to be expected they didn't do anything too flashy, and most of the times eye, hands, movement takes alot of time to animate including the body posture, well I'm sure you know that but i agree the quality is too amazing for 1 month.
Ikr
Damn the sound design was soo good and the frames were so beautiful especially that focus pull
Thanks 🤩
@@skepticboiwhat software do you use?
Want to know whats funny? *This* is more captivating that any of the trailers i have ever seen. But there was not a single word said, nor a hint of familiarity, that would bring in the audience. Not to mention that *everything* had story. The setting, the mood, scenery, ambience, actions, principles of art. Just a masterpiece. That concludes my TED talk.
Very nice Ted talk, 10/10, would come again :D
@@skepticboi thank you for listening, i wish you luck :D
Reminds me of the scene from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I think both the footsteps over footsteps in the beginning was especially well-animated, but I also loved the tension and weight in the pull of the bound hands reaching out and being pulled at the end. Beautiful!
Isaiah 53:4-6 | Surely He Took up our pain and Bore our suffering, yet we considered Him punished by GOD, stricken by Him, and afflicted.
But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the Punishment that brings Peace was on Him, and by His wounds you can be Healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray: each of us has turned our own way. And The Lord has Laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
John 6:35 | Jesus Declared: I am the bread of Life. Whoever comes to Me Will never go hungry, whoever believes in Me Will never be thirsty.
John 6:51 | I am the Living bread that Came down from Heaven. Whoever takes this bread in will Live forever. This bread is My flesh, which I Will Give for the Life of the world.
What a wonderful exploration of light, Color, & shade. Smooth!
What a wonderful comment you got there 😂 thank u sm ❤️❤️
I love how you see no faces untill the end, really good use of the frames to understand the situation without showing much :)
Literally, you only see foots and hands but everything is so intense and clear, It's so well done!
Damn we need a full series
This has the potential to turn into a full fledge series , its so good! The lighting the sound design the animation the story they all are top quality, keep it up you'll do great things
Well that was packed to the gills.
You used every second of that for maximum effect.
Well done.
Underrated grrrrr, the lighting and the way the backgrounds move and shift are phenomenal! It looks very pretty, the ending shots of the letter were creative and a good way to incorporate letters into the scene, i also really liked the subtle camera shaking when the guards hand was lifted. Also the theif design is relly cute lol
Now that is a very good short, I really enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind seeing this turned into a longer story. The details were especially good, like the tiny rope strands left on the arrowhead, a very nice touch! One thing though, I noticed that the setting looks vaguely like medieval Europe, but the way the girl holds the bow and the arrow placement are Japanese. Was that on purpose?
Thank you so much🙏❤️ yeah I had a medieval era in mind, didn't know there were specific cultural ways to hold a bow tho, I just imagined her holding it like that and drew just that :)
It was two different people right, bow person and the girl
A master class in how sound design matters in animation. The sound really helps sell the story, even when few frames are used.
I'll be honest watching the beginning made me think the entire short was only going to show hands and feet, which I actually thought was a pretty interesting idea lol until I saw faces lol
But past my initial thought amazing work and love the music 😊
These clever shots are genius as they don’t require too much actual animation of each scene while the quickness captivates the viewer
This is incredible!! The animation frames are so simple and yet so captivating, the face reveals were absolutely perfect, the music had my heart racing with each scene; a masterpiece
Wow, I love the unique shot choices! They give necessary context but also help to emphasize the tension of the story. Fantastic work.
The texture and the environment designs are breathtaking! The actual mud print felt so believable! Love this!
Love the fact that the animation doesn't show the whole scenario, just feet or a hand, but you fully understand what's happening
That fall would break his neck. 100%.
The amount of story telling and world building you fit in there was fantastic!
Great job!
This is by far the best short film I have ever seen. The snappy action and well composed shots are amazing.
I adore the style- the plot- the animation- GAH ITS SO WONDERFUL. I can't believe this took only a month! The little "take my hand" is really well done enough to be understood without voice- THATS SO COOL!
0:46 proper or almost proper tension on the bow makes me super happy
Ok I need a full series out of this. This is crazy awesome. This looks like a trailer of an anime produced by some big studios. And the hype is unreal. you are too good. new subscriber here.
It took a lot less time than I expected to figure out she was saying "take my hand" !!! This is so well done, I'm not even that good at reading lips but I could read an animated character's lips this is great!😂
Bro needs his own show because the ending actually had me screaming. You got me invested in those two characters after A MINUTE. That’s insane! Good job.
This is amazing! So much conveyed with only small portions and motions of the characters’ bodies, so much emotion with no facial expressions, so much so much storytelling and worldbuilding with no dialogue! This is the beauty of animation as a storytelling medium done beautifully!
Nice but when people are hung the feet sway a bit. Non moving feet means he died instantly. It’s a little tiny detail but it makes a difference. Other than that, nice line work and color. Keep it up
Some movies begin with “UNIVERSAL”, some movies begin with “PIXAR”, but here, this movie starts with “SKEPTIC” “BOI”
THIS IS BEAUTIFUL - I’m invested now I want a whole series
Please continue to make animations. It’s literally so surprising that you haven’t blown up with such talent.
This short film definitely deserves a movie!!🎥
You did a GREAT job❕😃
Underrated! This deserves WAY WAY WAY WAY More attention!
"Take my hand", I love how there was no dialogue and yet I still knew exactly what she said. Amazing!
Someone finally used this awesome soundtrack! I listen to Eternal Eclipse so much when I'm studying, I recognized it right away. Great job, looking forward to more!
This is some Amazing work Mash'Allah 👌🏽 keep doing good work bro! ✌🏼
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🤩
0:57. "Grab my hand" she said.
I love everything about this. The choise of dramatic music fits perfectly into what happens on screen and the details you can see in the light at morning makes it look even more breathtaking.
You deserve WAY more views bro! 👍
The details the animation everything is so perfect about this short film you're so underrated!
when I first saw the film it looked pretty ordinary but I tried watching it again and I saw the beauty of your cuts and shots and how beautiful is the sound design of your film how it adds up to the drama and suspense and I feel its beautiful quite inspiring :)
The art the music and the story😍... Great job man.. We Need MoRe!!
This is honestly beautiful, great work! I love the warm colors and the combined movie trailer-ish style with the music *chef’s kiss*
This would legit make a great rpg anime opening for a rogue role
That was so good every frame was perfect great job
Thank you sm 🙏😩
This is super good! Its so polished! 👏
Thank you so much ❤️🙏
I'm so invested in these characters already and it's only a minute long holy shit
I love everything about this! The music makes a great build up. I love the details of the background and the animation is amazing in the way that it shows you just exactly what you need to see, making it even more impactful when we´re finally revealed how the characters look like. Great work!! :DD
Esto necesita más vistas xd está muy bien hecho el vídeo xd
Beautiful!!!
Thank you❤️❤️
Woahh I need more! The detail of him taking her hand with both hands because they were still tied together is so thoughtfull
I can't stop rewatching, this is absolutely amazing!
BONA BONA PARA SAYO TO
I love this masterpiece but I just have one critique totally disregard this if u don't want critiques but I think u should have added the foot splashing sound effect add the start
Overall I think this is AMAZING
Nah, all critiques are welcomed 😂 I did add it, it's really really subtle, I did crank the volume up of the sfx but they stood out alot with regards to the background music that's why :)
@@skepticboi ohhh ok lemme rewatch it
Weird thing for me but I always crack up at the credits part when it says "Boi" with epic shading and wonderful colours that set the tone for an epic story. Also it goes from tension and action to "Boi".
amazing talent i loved the syncing of the music to actions in the animations and how you told 3/4 ths of a story without even showing a face
Two things. One: he would probably "just" have lost a hand for stealing. Two: the fall that breaks your neck is what kills you. The thief would be dead by then.
But good animation. Thanks
Lol nah it's all good, I don't mind, didn't really think about the technical aspects that much while doing this project, the goal was to keep things as simple as possible (story-wise) with impactful and cinematic visuals :)
in the medieval Europe this portrays, he probably would have just gotten fined actually
BRO that integration of 2D characters and realistic backgrounds is paired BEAUTIFULLY, I gotta try that myself!
Dude the music! I freaked out when I heard it (I love that playlist it’s SUCH a good collection) and you did so good piecing the different parts together! I know those songs by heart and I was very impressed by how flawlessly they looped together!
And then the animation itself! Very beautiful, and you did so good! Wonderful job💕💕
Wow, the colours, the story, the composition- this is fantastic! Wish it was a full film 😲
How are you so underrated? Like seriously I looked to your channel number thinking you were going to have a million subs for this alone - you def deserve it your art is amazing!
Oh, this was so good! I really liked how the different shots were composed and the colors were really pleasant! And the sound!! Ughh, really good sound choices, the music slapped and heightened the drama. Lovely
pls this has such a vibe of love, death + robots! looks awesome, everything from light to textures to style, just amazing
This is the most incredible short film I have ever seen, I’m speechless.
Definitely, we need more!! Soy many questions without an answer! You should start a series based on this short film!
This is amazing. I just gor a whole novel in my head from watching a minute of animation. The character design is superb
This TOTALLY feels like an intro theme to an animated show
This is amazing I feel really inspired looking back at peoples animations knowing some are quite along time ago. Taking a month is also so impressive I love how the character shows emotion too :)))
Idk why but this feels like a Hunger Games AU
Dude!
That was awesome! Great animation, and I love the storyline!
That moment where the animation is so good to the point where *every* frame could be a wallpaper
Bro, soooo underrated! I know the music, so I instantly knew this was gonna be amazing.
Love how you held off on showing any faces until the very end! Really helped with the visual storytelling! Excellent work!!
My only critique is that when hanging someone it's the short drop and the sudden stop that kills them, not being strangled.
I love the animation style. It’s clear that a lot of work went into it
So underrated, I really enjoyed the tension build up with the music, excellent choice there. Loved the scenes cuts and basically EVERYTHING 🔥❤️
Woah! The style is so good:0
That's what is happening and still happening especially in Europe, but in a different version. When you see people getting arrested in the most aggressive and savage way possible and then thrown into jails because they expressed their opinion or stood alone and silently with a sign about truth and humanity, they end up being repressed by the police forces.
Keep going ur Art is Amazing!❤
The cinematography is just awesome
The background was so well rendered
this had so much suspense and it felt like i was watching a movie in only 1 minute, sheesh! you did a great job!
This looks and sounds Amazing!
Also, now you got my brain making all sorts of fun storylines in just a minute and a half. Wish I actually liked writing
I appreciate that you can see she's saying "take my hand". Not always easy to do that right
this looks like the epic prologue to an amazing story 👀👀 amazing art and i loved the textures of the surfaces and little details specifically!
such a great job skeptic!!!
My gosh this is so freaking good!
I’ve got chills and my jaw is slack
This would make a good opening for a movie
The anime looking characters was not what i expected
One thing I would like to note for future work featuring a noose, what makes it deadly isn't just the suffocation caused when hanging, but the breaking of the neck (collapse of the windpipe) caused by falling and suddenly stopping. So if the arrow was shot after he was hanged but before he asphyxiated, he would still have a broken pharynx and would surely die in a few moments.
this gives the chill, a good sign of a good film
I think this is a great way of how to start a story and hooking audiences right off the bat.
Man got hanged for stealing a single bread.
But honestly, this is a good opening, packed with lore (What time the setting is, the characters, motivation of said character(s), etc). I don't know anything about score/music but that is a damn good one. Honestly would love an animatic series of this short film.
this is so cool and I'm not trying to diss it with what i am about to say.
fun fact: hanging isn't meant to suffocate you, it is meant to break your spine. thats why there is a drop. its also why the drop is usually the same length, to short and you suffocate, to long and your head will literally come off.
The synchro of the steps and the music was super fitting, gj
WOAHH YOU DESERVE WAY MORE THAN 189 SUBS THIS IS EPIC
Okay the music was insane. Very well done
The town’s merchants are gonna pissed at the construction workers who built those gallows.
This was too cinematic and dramatic to leave it as a short film! Like it was actually intense! I love it
The lighting and particles really were beautiful here.
To call this beautifully animated would be an understatement
