I think this is about the little child finding joy in a simple leaf. They look at the world through the expression of the leaf, with youthfulness and optimism. The little circle of life seems beautiful to them because the fish that was killed helped to feed the bird's babies. However, the adult, who showed the child the scars life had given him, instilled in the child a sense of fear. That life can be cruel and angry, and death can be painful and senseless.
However, by the end, he comes to the conclusion that one animal is no different in value than another. We are all connected and united as one. All the joy we share and all the pain are part of the same perfect cycle we're all joined in.
Wow. That is pretty deep... Good job!
I like that. A lot.

LOL!
yeah, it's kinda hard to find friends as one of us.
***** - Thank you! :)
As an animator I can bow my head down to this in awe. This is a masterpiece.
I was having that same thought.
Omg this is so nice to see, love your work
+1
This is very beautiful.

My perception of this was:
-Child witnesses nature's beauty
-Child discovers ferocity of nature
-Child becomes enlightened to the oneness of nature
we are all one creature, nice symbolism
Jacob Thomas it was a heartbeat. How amazing.
I watched this sober; and came up with the same ideas. The girl in her naivety see the bright sides of life. After seeing the scars of her father, she realizes there is a dark side she wasn't seeing.
In the end, though, I though she realized that with all death comes LIFE. To me, it seemed like she was realizing even things that cause death, also cause life and come from life.
The bubbles, to me, were mitosis. The animal at the end, which I'm surprised you guys didn't pick up on, was a heart-beat. The common denominator between us all, is we have a heart beat.
Well yes. I felt it had more to do with how the simplicity of a leaf could be perceived by a child's blissful ignorance to resemble a plethora of wondrous, ambient beings or the bright sides of life like you say where as her father, who has obviously endured more, is perpetually haunted by life's darker, shadier counterpart.
The end however, hit me as even though both insights as completely inverse as they are, are all connected. We are all a part of a larger organism.
We are all the children of this creature: Mother Earth
Did u assume their gender?
Wow, thank you for this comment. I did not know the heart beat part.
Don't tell me what I didn't pick up on.
@@cooliobob1274 What is the point of an antagonistic reply to a six year old comment?
I love how much emotion is put into these, yet left so up for interpretation as so we build and relate it to our own personal experiences, thus bringing us closer to this magical piece of art
Made me think of the Infinite. That there are entire worlds at a microcosmic level and that we are within one such microcosm amidst an infinitude of macrocosms larger than this universe.

I think the brown running beast represents Time: a thing that never stops and keeps going on, oblivious of what it takes on its ride. And the metaphor of generations of creatures spreading on his fur is majestic. In my top five of animated shorts.
beautiful, especially the creature at the end....
In nature wether it's good or bad we are all connect in one incredible Eco system.
This is one of the most creatively fluid yet geometrically interesting animations out there
this is truly beautiful. This is the type of stuff my kids will grow up watching. Something they can really learn and grow from.
At first I thought of making a cynical comment about drugs, but this turns out to be a very creative and thoughtful piece of art. Bravo!
frenchyraptor I would tend to say most of the videos on Filmbilder are making quite the opposite of a cynical statement when it comes to drugs.
frenchyraptor is there something wrong with drugs inspiring art?
I think it's fucking disrespectful to say art was made only out of drugs, people tend to forget hard work, ambition, and creativity exist.
I am in love with your art style. I'm going through a weird phase in my life and this about sums it up.
Same here but I'm glad I saw it
Makes total sense while baked
It is the greatest channel in the entire UA-cam
Whenever I see a leaf now, this animation plays through my head in an endless loop.
At the end, it's a heartbeat. What a cool way to explain it.
This is some straight up Cartoon Saloon animation right there.
Watched it while high. Here are my thoughts... while high:
-Its starts off showing the girl discovering nature/life, and her thinking it is all sunshine, lollypops and rainbows
-The girl then discovers the violent side of natur/the evil parts of life that seems to corrupt her elders
-Soon the girl will gain wisdom about the conceptualization of reality and consciousness.
I apologize in advance for these highdeas.
I thought the same thing about the two sides of a leaf thing. I also thought that the girl realized that everything is one, by it showing the different animals going into the next bubble thing and becoming another animal, then it shows the girl, and her dad, and all the other animals on the one creature, and I think that creature symbolizes life or something. I didn't really understand the part where it shows her dad's back torn open and stuff. Maybe that was her seeing her dad dying, and then after she see's that, she realizes that there is a dark side to things and everything isn't happy and good, because that is when she looks at the other side of the leaf, and see's the bad things. You don't need to apologize, highdeas are awesome.
you could just as well figure that out while drinking coffee. try reading james joyce while hight that will giveyou a bit of zest.
I thought pretty much the same thing in the same state
i axctually thought..the exact same thing
to the T
I am just in awe, this has a very beautiful and pretty art style and is very well animated.
absolut top, das leben in seinen grundzügen, ansichtsweisen und sinn gezeigt
One the greatest animations I have seen in a while!
Absolutely my favorite on the entire platform.
I love this heartbeat of all creatures at the end
Angela, you obliterated everything with this. Unbelievable work.
That was amazing... I loved it.... The beauty of nature, the dangers of it, and the whole connection between them
This is so beautiful and atmospheric! Love it!
your work amazes me every time!!! they look so different but we can still tell they are yours!
This is stunning! I didn't want to blink because I would miss some perfect little detail. This is beautifully crafted!
Forget the theories, the main point is the continuous and perpetual flow and overlapping constant unrestricted change which is life, enjoy it while it lasts before the leaves start to fall
this is extremely inspiring
yes!
Congratulations to you. This is truly wonderful! Also congrats to the musicians for creating a perfect score to match the animations.
This is just as amazing as Love and Theft, would love to see more like this one!!!
Boycott UA-cam sponsors until UA-cam stops censoring. Great video, and creative animation!
Baden-Württenberg *O* mein Ziel! Man sieht ja was für geniale Filme dort entstehen!
balance is key to make the world (and life) to work as smoothly as it will ever work.
Omfg, you´re videos are the best i´ve ever, ever seen, i love the animation and story behind that
Life has 2 sides to everything. Its all in the eye of the beholder.
Love the art style and how smooth the animation is!!!! Very well done!!!
THE BEGINNING IS SO CUTE FM
flawless and beautiful animation. I could watch it all day.
This is absolutely beautiful the sound, visuals and message
congratulations for the designs ! are spectacular ! (Especially the tiger and the black fish ! )
Wow this is amazing! It has so many layers and dimensions behind the flawless asthetics :D
Thoughtful and beautiful.
I like everything about this, the shapes, the colors, the creatures, it just makes me happy I9_9)
Beautiful metamorphisis / transitions... very fluid movement too. SUPERB!!
Klasse gemacht ''Ich schaue mir Eure Videos öfters mal an'' einfach TOP!
simply astounding and beautiful.
I think this is about finding the joys in life, and overcoming the small obstacles and facing them with determination and perseverance. This is while knowing that you as a human get ever smaller as the universe expands and accepting it.
Wow are you stoned your story is amazing!
I really love the art and animation! Good job c:
Crazycool animation!
this is my favorite of yours
This was great! Loved the animation!!!
Роскошно ! 👍
oh love it so much !!!
That color play
Wow, it just describes how i feel.
Such a great artist!!
Wie wunderbar!
Wow, I'm impressed. Wunderbar!
Good demonstration of how important the music is in any movie. Both sides are gorgeous metamorphosis-type animations, but one has cute music and the other has scary music. Big difference.
Very inspiring, it captures the subatomic universe.
A masterpiece.
this is actually an amazing art
This is so DAMN BEAUTIFUL!
this is absolutely magnificent!!
i absolutely love your work
Amanzing!!! Congrats!
You my sir, are a genius.
I'd like to say that I think the little kid is finding solace in nature, in the way it compares to humans and our problems and quirks and illnesses.
I understand every second of it.
extremly beautiful 11/10
Very inspiring! I'm thrilled to see more :)
omg, beautiful!
This is beautiful!
шедевр, давно искал подобное видел такое в трипе похожее.
that was incredible
Amazing animation. Absolutely inspiring
Hats off.
Fabulous!
Danke hierfür.
Ich glaube die Motivation zu verstehen, da ich ähnliches erlebt habe.
Vielleicht verstehe ich es auch nicht, das ist egal, da dieser Film für mich schon eine bestimmte Bedeutung hat. Eine, die den Schmerz einer Wunde zu lindern vermag.
Unglaublich viel Talent und Kreativität. Ich kann kaum abwarten mehr davon zu sehen!
Here is the english version with help from google translate.
Thanks for that. I think I understand the motivation because I experienced something similar. Maybe I don't understand it either, it doesn't matter because this film already has a certain meaning for me. One that can soothe the pain of a wound. An incredible amount of talent and creativity. I can't wait to see more of it!
This is AMAZING!!!
Saw this at KLIK 2017. One of my favorites!
My face when all the animals were squaring up in that middle bit
Loved it as usual.
So beautiful and amazing *__________*
this is crazy....woaaaaw!!!!!!!!!!
animation is very smooth and feel , good work .
Impecable.
Thank you!
The father was probably showing her battle scars of some kind, though it could have been cancer, a deformity, or any number of things. But he was teaching her to look at both sides of something before you judge it, the beautiful and the ugly, the good and the bad, etc., signaling her to look at the other side of the leaf.
Beautiful :)
Woooow that was so cool :D wicked art i love it !
THIS IS ART
Precioso. :)
Cute animation! 💓
How the hell does this not have more views?!?
Ihr seid wirklich sehr begabte Künstler, weiter so :)
