At least you admit you can’t sit still. I find it truly depressing that people can no longer concentrate on anything longer than 30 seconds. This work is magnificent. Alex has produced a stunning film. You are right in saying some people will not devote the time to it. Such a shame.

I love it, my only complaint is where he ventured out of his comfort zone and started throwing books into the air and other animated sequences. Not the climax I was looking for. I’m pretty sure once a jet has flown by, the white trail it leaves ought to stop and hang there in the air, in place, until it dissipates… there oughtn’t be some force causing it to funnel backwards indefinitely.

Pictures beautiful, but the music is under

I disagree. I think his cinematography is gorgeous. As a photographer, I think it’s stunning and interrogative in a simple sense. It may be boring to some people, but I enjoy the soft pacing. I think it gives more time to show off the work. I mean, it’s a gorgeous piece of artwork. And I think the serene, slow setting allows you, as the viewer, to be in that place, not just viewing it. I’ve noticed that the people who put a whole bunch of complicated camera movements and radical effects are usually the ones who have barely any talent for true solid artwork. I think that when a scene stands out visually as much as this one does, you shouldn’t muddy it up with a bunch of stuff. But I also don’t have the attention span of a ferret, so I’m not bothered by this.

What would you do to change the camera movements?(you didn’t say what you would do, just what you didn’t like. So, naturally I am curious.) I can’t imagine many things would make the scene pop as much as these do. Simple and basic to me, is the best way to go here because I think anything else would completely overshadow the fact that its a lot of simple models that are textured, lit, color corrected and arranged with the passion of a true CG artist.

And by no means should it evoke shame. I think the very idea that he created something that is this serene and captivating with as little movement as it has is an accomplishment in itself. It’s not full of a bunch of “visual vomit” for the sake of making it interesting. It is interesting on its own.

weee.. everyone rating me down.. but sorry.. where are there any “emotions” in this piece.. its a couple of nicely lit interiors set to music. and i stand by my opinion that the camera work is just crap. its a couple of linear moves.. dolly in.. dolly out.. while playing around (and overusing) depth of field… usually straight angles, no tension, not following any design lines.. nothing.

sorry. everyone who says “omg so many emotions”.. seriously, this is kitsch. nothing more. its technically awesome and better than anything i could do, but its cg kitsch, using age old anime techniques like doves and cherry blossom leaves etc to bring this across, but still at the end of the day its kitsch.

go on. rate me down again.

Truly inspiring. Such a beautifully emotive piece of work.

this is very beautiful and very well done… BUT i still wonder why people make such effort to create real scenes with computer graphics.

I think CG should be used to create scenes that we would never see in real life, or even never imagine…

incredible technical achievement but overall I found it a very dull film to watch. amazing cgi artist & designer, but ultimately not a great director I’d say.. music was uninspired too imho. awesome cgi though, of that there is no doubt.
