the colors...
about to cry
😭😭
Serious question...what was so great about the colors? Please explain, because I’m 40% color deficient.
@@jbhann the artist used only red and green for present time, a shade of blue for the past
@@maranatha_777 ...thank you for explaining. Able to see the blue, but being red/green color deficient, it’s difficult to see them.
This is a beatiful film about the metaphor of life: love, tragedy, despair, acceptance and moving on. You're the only one who can make the world around you meaningful and alive again. Until then, it's like walking alone in loneliness and desolation. The film portrayed it so well, especially in the opening scene, about how the rest of the world is continually moving, but as he approaches the vicinity of the world around him from his perspective, time and in essence, the meaning of living is lost. We can see the waves rolling on the seashore up until the point our protagonist approaches close to it. The camera is a perfect metaphor for someone's memories. He stopped taking them the moment he put it down (after losing someone he loved) and left to try and run away from it all. And from that point onwards he found no reason to absorb the world again. As if it became frozen on that particular time, feeling trapped in the moment of despair and loss. But over time, he started coming to terms with what really happened (cue the flashbacks). Time is the great healer here. And after the darkest episodes he finally found the strength to move forward. Ready to take on and face life again. Acknowledging and coming back to where it all started (or stopped one can argue ). Looking at his old self one last time (great scene of his old self walk past, behind him). This time he has found his long lost courage, picking up that camera where he last left it, acknowledging that he was ready to take on life again and make new memories. So many nuances in that single scene, looking out of a window, really taking time to focus, before clicking that shutter...it is weighted and at the same time enlightening. This time though, he takes the last shot on that camera roll (cue the red no. 24) and puts it down. Signifying that although it is the end of that roll, it ended with the premise of a future. The next roll of memories, the next chapter, a new life.
I'm so in love with this comment

@Triage Ministries I’m sorry wat
When he took the picture and the wind blew in his face, a big ol' grin stretched across my face. What a very inspiring work, one again you never to cease to amaze GOBELINS.
Gobelins is an art school in France ^^ So it probably comes from different people each time
Excelente 😊
They that rhymed lol
The title means: “The Return of the Waves.”
I see the animators are big fans of Satoshi Kon.
@@mariemowola8852 Both Perfect Blue and Spirited Away! So glad I recognized them!
Can you explain me the link between the title and Satoshi Kon?
@@anaismazel9675 It's a reference to his manga, titled Tropic of the Sea in English. The original title is 海帰線, Kaikisen, "Return to the Sea"
Who is Satoshi kon?
@@hellosabrinachaney and is the reference only on the title?
Les posters des films Ghibli dans sa chambre!!
YES I SAW THEM TOO
Perfect Blue n'est pas un Ghibli
@@misamii Bien, j'ai dit pas que tous les posters dans le mur étaient des films Ghibli
Absolutely. Spirited Away.
Bro, perfect blue sure isn’t ghibli... it’s like saying lion king and Rick and Morty are both Disney..
At first I thought this was about that feeling when you travel and realize the places you go do not need you to exist, you have no past and no future there, as if time itself yeeted you out.
But it was more about how to give your passion your own legs, instead of relying on other people to push it forward.
Beautiful animation, colouring and soundwork with an important message, absolutely amazing work!

Interesting what you say about travel. I was taken to quite a few different countries as a child and always felt that I didnt belong there and so felt uncomfortable and wanted to come home; unable to enjoy the experience as others seemed to. As a result I haven’t travelled abroad as an adult. You articulate why I think I would feel that way now very succinctly.
love how you put it!
wow this is the most profound and interesting take on travel ive ever heard. you just left me with something to think about for a while, thanks
"how to give a passion your own legs"
nice. that's what i got out of it too.
I love that last part, when he takes the picture and time Unfreezes.
Usually a camera does the opposite... nice work Gobelin
THIS
Quelle idée de donner du mouvement à un paysage à travers un appareil photo quand celui ci ordinairement fige les paysages. Le commentaire est juste impressionnant.
:0!
Great point!!!
i love this comment
Even with the ocean frozen in time, he couldn’t resist the memories flooding in.

@@hana.the.writer5074 Sorry, it's saddly beyond my control. I am an analytical thinker. 😣
I had a friend, a very good friend, he loves Miyazaki's movies like me, he's gone for a reason and we don't talk anymore, and I miss him...
But I think he's fine, so I'm fine too.
Bon travail les Gobelins, vous faites toujours de bonnes choses émouvantes et positives.
Essaye de lui reparler, des vrais amis on ne s'en fait pas des tonnes dans une vie...
I relate to ya
I totally understand, lost friendships are so sad... Please, send him a message and say him what's in your heart.
Take care, and give us news
I absolutely love the subtle storytelling. Everything we need to know is on the face of the characters 😭 And the fine colours that make such a nostalgic ambiance, becomes lively and hopeful when movements came back really get me ... Bravo ! Great work of art !
The storytelling is so so delicate and graceful, they really did an amazing job!!
I love how his journey is told through still images, as if we’re looking through photos he once took. Everything was still, except for him, his past self and his ex-partner, as if we‘re peeking through his head when he’s reminiscing his memories.
Beautifully told. The team successfully translated words, emotions and feeling through this animated short.
As a photographer myself this one really moved me...Sound design, visuals and the story mostly...Finally facing the truth and moving on after losing your main source of inspo...Simply amazing !

Moi aussi, c’est très bien!
It's as if the whole world stopped spinning the moment he left his passion behind

04:26 - Did anyone else love the Ghibli reference as much as the animation?
There's also perfect blue
Yaaaas!!! I was like "Chihiro!!"
Princess mononoke poster. 😍
Omg yes
Yupp
If he managed to grow up and open for creating new memories, than maybe all of us will do it too. That gives me hope.
But he should be honest enough to starting a fresh life for him and for her and for the audions
I don't understand what's happening
*_But i love it_*
Same
I think. He saw everything stare because they were pictures before he left. And when he finally returned back, he had this pictures in his head when he left. They just returned all back like waves. Thats what i feeled by watching it.
My take is that he and that girl, the one who inspired him to follow his passion in photography, had a falling out or a breakup. They grew apart, and as a result, he lost interest and wound up deciding to leave home entirely, leaving his camera behind and abandoning his talents to better avoid confronting the past. From that moment on everything felt static, almost like a photograph. After some time, he returns home, even if getting back is difficult and requires him to think about what he'd lost. He comes to terms with that loss, and picks up the camera, and the world can breathe again.
@@BartimaeusTrilogyFan nice
sums me up yet i'm interested in these things. french animations are the best
C'est magnifique, vraiment la palette de couleurs est juste sublime, et le chara design rend vraiment les personnages attachants. Super sympa les poster perfect blue et voyage de Chihiro a la fin haha ٩(๑`^´๑)۶.
et monoke aussi :)
Et le Château ambulant, aussi... 👏😘!
ًMononoke Hime aussi à 4:19 et Howl Moving Castle à 4:55 😉
Nicolas Lacombe j'en ais tellement loupé en fait
(๑•̀ㅁ•́๑💧)
ً😃😅
How utterly incredible. His life was completely on hold until he could move forward and decide to make new memories. Spectacular storytelling from all involved
To me, this is a story about healing from the aftermath of a devastating breakup. He detached, metaphorically taking his baggage (he actually takes a luggage case he does not return with) and losing himself in a vast unknown world we never see - his exploration of his inner turmoil, his soul. When he is ready, he finally travels back and experiences a flood of memories along the way - eventually picking up where he left off, but no longer the same person though nobody else knows the figurative inner journey he has been on.
4:30 the “Perfect Blue” and “Spirited Away” posters
Those tiled houses reminded me a lot of Portugal
This Is probably set in cote azur
The storytelling in this animation is amazing. It was told in such a unique and refreshing way- through the disjointed memories of someone returning to their past. Also, that scene where he took the picture and time returned was really good, like how the world just silently swept back into focus.
I really like the comparison between photographers being able to stop a moment in time and life stopping around you when something bad happens, stopping you from doing what you love too. And then having the courage on your own to start moving again. Such beautiful and subtle storytelling :)
Also, everything on the walls:
Princess Mononoke
Perfect Blue
Spirited Away
Castle of Cagliostro
Jojo Rabbit
Midnight Special
Space Oddity
Also a little doll of Clarence from Colza on a shelf!

I love how the frozen places create such a beautiful metaphor, relating not only to a photograph, but also to the feeling that the protagonist was stuck into. Amazing, truly, amazing.
The animation is amazing, and the character acting is top game!
So much hard work, it's incredible
何を話しているのか分からなかった、でも映像を感じる事は出来ました。千と千尋の神隠しのポスターがあったのがちょっと嬉しかった
階段の壁を触っているシーンが好きです。とってもリアル。素晴らしいアニメーションです
Cette scène où Victor court dans les escaliers, dans les rues éclairées aux lampes rouges, m'a fait penser au début du Voyage de Chihiro. Et puis j'ai vu le poster dans sa chambre. Joli clin d'oeil!
I feel like, this is how people feel when looking at old photos. Moments captured in time, memories that come with them, sometimes bring forth emotions. It's like we're looking through an old photo book of this man's life.
La première fois que je l'ai vu , j'ai pratiquement rien compris. Mais la deuxième, tout était très clair, comme a chaque fois que je regarde les court métrage de Gobelin. Ce court métrage représente une dépression amoureuse. Le garçon a trouver sa passion, mais sa vraie raison de vivre était aussi sa petite amie qui c'est désintéressé de lui. Il n'est pas vraiment parti de chez lui, le temps ne c'est pas vraiment arrêté, il est juste prisonnier de lui même. Et a la fin il tourne la page définitivement en faisant appel a sa nouvelle passion et sa nouvelle raison de vivre. Le chat qui viens le voir a la fin symbolise la deuxième chance je suppose.
Voilà voilà, j'ai écris ça parceque j'ai vu beaucoup de gens qui n'ont rien compris à cet animation xD
Merci XD sa ma aidé ^^
Arrête de faire semblant, on sait tous que c'est toi le chat à la fin. :( :D
Bien vu
I think for me, this beautiful animation is metaphorical to losing and gaining back your passion. Like when he stop taking pictures, and left photography, for some reasons we may never know, or in our own experience something that made you stop going for your passion. The town itself stop moving, like your world slowed or even stop. Only when he take back the camera, when we get back to what we like to do or restart our passion. And him going back to photography that the town start moving again.
That moment that he clicks the camera brings shivers down my spine. I love this and it's magnificent animation style.
Gorgeous, loved the blue outline he would get when reliving a memory. The colors in general were fantastic, what a wonderful, touching piece!
This movie is so beautiful and touching. Everything is so delicate and balanced. I saw the dedication of my amazing classmates this year and they did such an incredible job. Kudos guys !😊

This is the beauty of photography - you can relive the most important moments of your life in a 24 piece 35mm film.
I think this is the kind of work that has a slightly different meaning from person to person.
But we all agree this is gorgeous.
It's amazing coz you see the feeling of the character in his face, as if he's a great actor protraying the role. Love how realistic the movements of the character are - his breathing, his stares, the way his face moves while thinking. This is in contrast with the surroundings which are at halt.
Really great. It made me feel the drawing. The movemets and transitions to every memory are fantastic.
felt like it was made for me, and me only. Such is the power of such animation.
seriously, the way he tapped the dresser for his cat to come up at the end.
What a creative way of being able to show off a town and the people as well as set up the whole mood without having to actually animate all of them. Studying and learning animation brought me to this video and this page just now. I look forward to being able to produce such beautiful works.
But I hate how much this story hits home for me right now :/
This made me shed tears. Makes me hopeful i will get myself back
So beautiful. I have so much to say, everything was perfect. However, seeing the "Spirited Away" poster in his room nearly made me cry. That made it feel so real. Well done.

What a stunning film, I can really feel the love and time that went into this film. Also love the references to some beloved anime films.
My thoughts on the film was that only you can give meaning to *your* world where everything, everyone are never within your control.
You never realize how much everything moves until it stops.
i knew this was going to be good when i saw how subtly beautiful the movement of the breath in the beginning was, i wasn't expecting to be absolutely floored by the art, the backgrounds, the desgins of everything, THE MUSIC!! this is so well put together and the effort must've been monumental!! it makes me excited to try my hand at works like this someday, i hope i can do something this amazing:)
So its about a man who returned to his hometown. There he starts to remember his childhood friend in whom he was most likely in love with but never told her that and then she moved out of town. Then he left too. He regret never saying her his feeling but eventually forgive himself.
This made me cry - everything reminds me of her.
Amazing work
So beautiful!
Seeing once the boy, hobbies he once left behind, moments with ex.
That feeling was so well expressed
!
I am STUNNED by this animation! The style, the cOLoRs, the details of the movements! From how realistically little he moves when he sighs in the beginning to the organic way he takes of his jacket at the end. And I couldn´t stop staring at the hands! It`s incredibly masterful and I am so glad to have seen this piece!
Après le premier passage, je n'avais pas très bien compris le message.
A la suite d'un commentaire, tout m'a sauté aux yeux et je l'ai revu une deuxième fois.
J'en ai les larmes aux yeux, cette animation me parle beaucoup car je suis figé depuis longtemps pour ma peur d'apprendre le dessin et l'animation. A la place de l'appareil photo, je vais reprendre mon crayon.
L'animation est superbe, il y a je pense une influence de myazaki et les couleurs sont très réussies.
The color palette is so beautiful, and the story is so compelling!
I shed one lil tear...it was enough TvT
The flow, the expression, movement, and glob, très tragique mais beau! The reality of it is stunning ♡
C'est vraiment incroyable de produire une animation avec une telle qualité ; les mouvements sont réalistes, doux et surtout tellement travaillés!
Félicitations!
The house where he lives reminds me of a lot of Portuguese houses! With the yellow around the windows, the tile and the small iron verandas
4:25 Spirited Away and Perfect Blue posters on the wall :]]]
Every frame is a desktop wallpaper, so pretty.
This is inspiration, love the way that how you portrait character’s inner thought when he grew older & how much he wanted to keep his teenager’s times. And the end we all move on from the start. Cool work.

This is so beautiful. Thank you.
This has to be one of the most beautiful animations i have ever seen, and the meaning behind to return of the motion, ir was delightful 🍂❤️🌊
these short films from this school are giving me so much motivation to work my ass off to get myself to study there
Flood of emotions. At first when I was still trying to put the story together I was in awe of the animation and execution. As the story pulled me in, I was just saying wow at every juxtaposition. Amazing concept and brilliant execution. Almost cried because it resonated with me so much. You guys said so much with so little.
For me, this is about how you can get stuck in your own memories if you spend your time chasing them. It's about hope. The hope to move forward, to look at the present, live in it, and breathe.
(I'm saying it for myself at the same time ^^)
I also really love the fact that everything is frozen around the two lovers: nothing really counts.There is just them.
this one is my favourite. the artistic direction is to die for. the use of colours, animation.. the composition of the frames.. honestly good fricking job. absolutely amazing.
This is completely amazing!
I think that this is extremelly relatable, specially with someone who is very insecure about their work or their future.
The music and sound effects are magic, I love the market scene, it's amazing!
The style, colors, story.. everything is downright gorgeous! I love it
I swear this reminds me so much of the comic "Portugal" and I can't stop thinking about it.
Oh my god when he took that photo and the wind just went in his face, that blew my mind.
J'aimais beaucoup très bien.😍🥰
Such a bittersweet feeling.
Neat the kitten becoming a cat at the end, indicating how much time has gone by since he left and returned.
音響が素晴らしい。彼の焦りが伝わる生々しさ！
そして 千と千尋が！
Merci merci beaucoup. Je n'ai pas pu contenir les larmes en regardant cette animation. Il dépeint si bien le sentiment ... la douleur d'avoir à passer à autre chose quand on est coincé dans le passé ... Surmonter est si difficile que le monde s'arrête vraiment. Mais quand vous vous libérez ... c'est comme de l'animation. J'ai pleuré, mais ce n'était pas de la tristesse, mais de l'identification à chaque scène jusqu'au moment de la libération. Merci beaucoup du fond du cœur.
Incredible touching short story by colors and deep stand point.The main issue is enjoy the journey when you pay a visit to other places. Feel in depth the atmosphere, cuisine and , cultural background is an unique experience. I visited in different years, of course, London, París, Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, several Cantons in Switzerland, Italy and Portugal . I can recall the vivid memories each country left in my mind. Unforgettable
3:30 has the names of all the other shorts of this year :) that’s so clever aaa
That scene where Victor is running through the stairs in the red lighted streets, it kinda reminded me of Spirited Away and then I saw the poster in his room
Very niice. This was like a montage of Satoshi Kon's editing prowess.
Liked the idea that a photo puts things in motion intead of stopping them in time.
never realized the level of sensitivity and subtlety in the visuals until rewatching this years later
J'aurais tellement voulu un happy end. Mais il est en paix avec lui même, c'est déjà ça. Une magnifique pièce d'animation, vraiment.
C’était trop bien fait!!! J’adore le style, définitivement mon court film gobelins préféré de cette année!!! Merveilleux travaille, à tout l’équipe!
omg gobelins short films are so beautiful as always !
mononoke, spirited away and perfect blue posters
3:30 on aime la petite référence aux autres films de cette année ^^
Carrément, j'ai trouvé ça sympa comme Easter egg
Simply beautiful!!! I LOVED the Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Perfect Blue and Howl's Moving Castle poster details but what I appreciated even more is The Castle of Cagliostro detail at 3:31, that movie is AMAZING!
I'm so glad I decided to watch this. Thank you for making something so beautiful! ❤️
Why beautiful colors! And the detail put into each room and setting!
BRAVO ! Très beau et bon travail ! 5 minutes qui racontent des mois…Merci beaucoup pour ce moment.
The soundtrack is AMAZING too... and convey the subtlety of the animation
Very straight to the point for those of us that were and still find ourselves in that place. I suppose that's life you can get stuck in a situation until you decide to move on. Thanks for sharing.
Le concept est génial, l'animation splendide. J'ai adoré la transition avec les oiseaux en vol ! Les sons subtils et les couleurs nous transportent !
Beautiful, i see Satoshi and Ghibli's works on the wall . Love it
et maintenant, je pleure - c’est un film très beau, j’adore . je suis une fille américaine mais cet film, c’est en lang que tout la monde comprendre. la nostalgie qui c’est un petit peu comment c’était hier.
sometimes you can come back to life with memories that person made for you, you shouldn't forget her or him to come back to the life you had because that person is a part of you for now and forever. you have to find that part and heal it. when you heal it that part doesn't hurt you because you want to move on, for yourself, for him or her.
Reminds me of finding my ways again, through photography and good people in my life. I'm not sure if I have healed completely yet, and maybe I don't want to if it means to give up on everything, I've made a promise and I'll keep it,. Finding my peace and keeping my arms open to the wonders of Life.
I've already watched this beautful film quite a few times, but I had never noticed that the creator paid homage to the other students of the school by writing the titles of their animations such as "COLZA" and "SUNDOWN" on the side of the books (3:29). Such an endearing detail!
Yes true! You can also see characters from other Gobelins films like "Mehua" (2:25) and Sasha from "Sundown" with his face hidden by a crate of bottles (2:29)! This main character from "Le Retour Des Vagues" also appears in the background of "Sundown" :)
Layered Contextualization
This was mad beautiful, brilliant and lovely.
the subtle storytelling, no heavy dialogue necessary i love it!!!
One of the best short films I've ever seen
素晴らしいです。
涙が出ました。
少し元気になりました、ありがとう🙏
omg love this .... somehow i loved the first part alot that has no music just embiant sounds and sound effect and then when there was only vocal music rhythm felt connected somehow
i felt a particular message in me watching this video, reflecting about your past and moving on
J'aime le clin d'oeil à Perfect blue et au Voyage de Chihiro. Très belle animation ! Les décors sont fabuleux !
