I think this could have been quite a bit stronger had there been a few more human interactions. It seems a bit lacking without a little more tension.I like the thought process though.

Interesting point, toddy. There actually was more human interaction but it just wouldn't fit into the cut so I decided to leave it out, but I definitely understand what you're saying in that more face to face interaction might have lead to a greater sense of progressing tension. Thanks for the constructive criticism and I'm glad you liked it all the same.obtusity, April 24, 2007 7:25:52 AM CEST
liked it very much. despite the lack of human interaction it does a fine job of developing a story and a theme, and manages to look great doing so.mookie, April 24, 2007 8:45:08 AM CEST

Nice. great to see an artist pulling off the quirkiness and surrealist aspect required to create a short film narrative. I agree with the comments above, but i like the fact it dwells on the loneliness which is the main drive for this solemn character. Good job Rylankevathens, April 24, 2007 1:05:24 PM CEST
Definitely a bit Timely-esque, but great.freshhead, April 25, 2007 8:48:30 PM CEST
Great video. I, for whatever it's worth, also dig the fact that he's alone throughout the vid. Nice job.
