    I love how... he is lost, taken from the place where he is happy and what he knows. He's scared and alone. But he makes friends, he has fun, he does some good, and is changed visibly from his journey. And when he is rescued by the ship captain (who looks kinda familiar, did PJ have a character like that before? 🤔 ), he sees all these other lost buoys, and realizes we all get a little lost some times, but we make it back home eventually, if changed.

  • @jon_franklin
    @jon_franklin 2 роки тому +3

    I'm am staggered by the progress you've made! You should be incredibly, INCREDIBLY proud.
    There are so many details in there that show such love, care and attention. The fact that the water surface looks different depending on the weather, the closeness to shore, the climate! You didn't just slap a noise texture onto a bump node, you actually went through the effort of making sea foam, water droplets, and ripples. This was a joy to watch all the way through, so glad to see your whimsy and charm be explored in a new medium!

    • @jon_franklin

    Im a vfx artist so I know how hard this wouldve been. You executed it very well. I like that while ambitious, you're playing to your strengths and not overextending yourself. The simplicity of the characters and animation help focus the story and emotions as well, so I think you've executed it perfectly for a relatively new starter to cg stuff.

  • @michellelincoln155
    @michellelincoln155 2 роки тому

    There’s so many things I LOVE about this short. I love how it reflected different themes that have come up during the pandemic and through life in general like what it’s like to feel alone and excluded, building resiliency through hardship, coming together to help community members in need, and ensuring everyone belongs because they do. I especially love your choice of landscape because my home’s landscape is very similar so when you pair that with those themes it really hit home for me on another level. Easily one of my favourite projects that you’ve done; the animation is gorgeous, the story is timeless, and you can feel the love you, Sophie, and the rest of the team have put into it. Congratulations again on this jewel and I look forward to watching it again ☺️🎉👏!!

  • @ewwaski
    @ewwaski 2 роки тому +2

    What a refreshing little film! I absolutely needed this especially after a day of misfortune. Not only that, this is very nostalgic for some reason...
    Maybe that's because in today's film and media, wholesomeness isn't praised as much anymore. Edgy, nuanced and existential contents are more popular or sought after by the majority.
    This brings me back to those times where a cute film is simply that... Cute and chill. Without any dark twists and turns that traumatizes an impressionable mind (well, mainly me 'cause I get scared easily).
    Thanks, PJ!

It's actually been a long time since I've caught up with your channel because life happens, but it's like I stepped back into the same welcoming KickthePJ world with some new things to explore. The short 3D clips I did catch (Lullaby cube, anyone?) were a nostalgic throwback to your earlier videos yet in a new art style...Didn't realize it was a new medium or how quickly you picked up Blender! I am so so impressed by your progress & dedication that culminated into this short film. Congrats Peej and everyone who helped make this happen!
