oh man, i remember seeing oscars hotel in production and watching it all unfold, this reminds me so much of back then ^^ its plain to see that your passion for what you create is truly unmatched. its been an absolute pleasure to watch your journey through different media evolve and to watch you improve and fall more in love with doing what you love. your passion, talent and perseverance never ceases to amaze me, pj. its incredible to see how far youve come and wherever you go next, it will undoubtedly be amazing!
The British pronunciation of “buoy” is delightful
Seeing you making stuff again! Fills my heart with joy, the Lost Buoy was so incredible to watch and to have seen your progress in blender grow overtime and to even make your own film using the app is incredible! You're a creative genius!
i looked him up because i missed him and this makes me so happy!! i hate that people don’t know about kick the pj now!!!!!
@@saff1257 he deserves so much more recognition honestly he's amazing!
"It's better to be your own cheerleader than to self-sabotage." Truth. Beautiful, sweet film. Well done, PJ. Thank you for sharing the bts perspective.
PJ, I’ve been watch your videos since I’ve been 12. I’m now in my mid 20s, working towards an acting career. I’ve honestly thought about giving up because I feel I’m not great yet. But it’s a journey and you have to suck in order to be great. your videos give me inspiration. And I’ve seen your growth throughout your videos. Thank you for posting this at the right time! And also, The Lost Buoy made me cry 🥲🥲
Same, same, same, same, and same 🥲
“will I ever make anything again? Maybe not!” I feel this all the time. I started watching you in middle school, and now I’m graduating college and started a career in design as well with a fellowship. Fingers crossed, I can finish my portfolio and create something I like. I am also teaching myself blender now with baby steps, so this gives me hope that I can do it
I’m proud of you feeling proud! I can’t imagine how rewarding it felt to finish and release this film after pouring your heart and soul into it. Thank you for sharing some more thoughts about it!
Babe wake up a new PJ video just dropped
Mr Pj I just have to tell you that you have been one of my biggest creative inspirations for a long long time. I think the stuff you create is awesome and you're incredible. Especially your surrealist stuff. Anyway thanks for existing and still making videos :)
Even through other mediums, peej, your artwork never ceases to make my heart and my brain box feel safe and happy. The Lost Buoy is a testament to your skill and your creative vision, and I hope that making things has helped you keep going💚
I've been watching you slowly develop your 3D skills since 2020 ans it's only amazing how far you've come with it I'm such a short amount of time! It inspires me so much to try 3D animation out since I usually work with 2D
You never cease to amaze me Peej!
“A lot of the time it just came down to me needing a break.”
Wow. I needed those words.
of course i do pj who doesn’t
We dont talk about THAT version of the sad ghost.
kickthehehe
I love the meaning behind The Lost Buoy. Keep on floating.
(Also, the whale with the lantern is so great, he’s my favorite.)
Pj wouldn't be Pj without puns 😌 Absolutely loved the lost buoy. You've nailed it!
I've been watching your content since 2014/15 and watching you progress has been amazing. The lost buoy was fantastic we're so so proud of you peej!!!
This point of time in my life is probably the worst time I've ever had, so you creating this "keep floating" message is literally exactly what I needed. Thanks for sharing your hard work and your thoughts with us.
I miss your art so so so much, you've inspired me to pursue what I love in college and I'm now working in thaat field too! The lost boy truly motivated me to create again as well, I'm so glad to see your creative projects again (Oscar's Hotel is still laying in my laptop, I go back to it occasionally for nostalgia) and I can't wait for more
Your glasses look so cool!! Loved the lost buoy🥰 very happy that you got your creative juice back!
me struggling to begin something new: Nothing happens
PJ struggling to begin something new: streams constantly, uploads to youtube, masters blender, releases a whole 3d animation film
happy decompression, Peej. Hope your trip to Canada has been nice!
All I'll say is I'm still stuck in an almost 2-year long creative burnout and your words really spoke to me PJ... so thank you!
guy has decompressed successfully lets go fuck yeah
PEEJ!!! As someone thats been watching you at least the past ten years, I'm just as excited and pumped as I was when I first watched Color Bandits. I still have a lot of those lines memorized. Congrats on such progress man
In a very similar position, hadn't made anything since I left film school (high school), and now am likely about to drop out of uni (terrifying), but to know how much u (a person who's creativity and accomplishments I've admired for years) struggled and eventually succeeded again is reassuring
PJ last year you commented on a short stop motion video I did and it still brings me SO much joy and like oomfph to want to keep making things. The things you make and the way you make them are so wonderful. Thank you
The timing of this video... my plates been very full lately. I'm across the country from all friends and family and my Nana is going through the end stages of vascular dementia, I have a boatload of my own health issues that cams up out of nowhere, some relationship issues, financial issues, and mental struggles. This was a great reminder thank you. Times may be tough but as always, it will pass.
Peej, I started watching you when I was 12. I’m about to turn 20! Having watched you for so many years has inspired me so much in my own creativity. Your art has always been amazing and it’s only getting better! So glad you never gave up, you’ve helped several of us know not to give up on our art either ❤️
Absolutely incredible that you created a whole short film in 3D! Always inspired by your perseverance to a creative craft!! Bravo
oh shit markable improvement in quality and attitude towards work lets got it positive vibes lets go
The lost buoy was such a cute wholesome film. Super proud of you!
Also, have fun in canada
makes me very happy that you found the joy in making art again!! it’s been so inspiring to see your progress with 3D art and i can’t wait to see where you go with it in the near future. keep on creating great stuff
guy followed through with their own messaging persevered lets go a positive yet difficult virtue to keep lets get it
the final result is of such high quality like the storyline is so concise and well executed, the colors/animation looks fantastic, the sound design and score was superb, just all around wonderful little heartwarming film.
it's lovely to see you being proud of this project because you should be
i can't imagine how much work it must've taken. i think for me i am most impressed by how well trimmed(?) it is ..?
as someone who's dabbled in art projects before, i find the most difficult part of making creative projects like this is being able to look at the work with a critical eye and staying objective when it comes to deciding what should stay and what should go. (ex: knowing a photo is not that great/sub par but not being able to delete because you keep thinking about how long you spent trying to get the shot)
there mustve been many ideas you had to scrap and it must of taken a firm resolve to cut them out without getting attached and frankly i'm super impressed. again just the final outcome feels so professional and i think your ability to stay critical of your own work might be one of the reasons why.
ah the double edged sword of having high standards. it's such a balancing act between "i can utilize my high standards to more effectively edit/hone my work" and "i'm losing motivation to create because nothing i make will ever meet my own standards"
bruh I never even thought of decompressing lol
As another fellow creative who was feeling a bit down and uninspired two years ago, watching you make work this past year has inspired me so much! I loved hearing about how you were inspired by Louie Zong as well. It’s like one big internet art inspiration train that just keeps on going
This video has honestly been just what I needed. It feels like it released right on time when I'm struggling learning 3D for a possible career as an adult, feeling like I have very little time left to make anything out of myself. There has been many times when I felt like I will not make it anywhere and my dreams will always stay dreams, and now in the midst of trying to figure out my life, this video is reminding me to keep going and stay afloat. I'm very proud of you for sticking to this project and finishing it!
the pronunciation of buoy caught me by surprise lol. but this 3d animated film is beautiful! i cried a couple of times (who knew a little plastic metal piece of anchoring could make me so emotional?). i am proud to have been a fly on the wall during this process and see the progression! good job peej mageej
PJ, I like your cool grandma glasses. They're rad.
Oh Buoy was a delight! I could see you creating a mini series in this art style. It suits you
guys decompressing alright lets gooo fuck yeah
I'm so proud of you great job with the animation!! I showed it to my animation class and all of my pals really liked it and it was very inspiring :-)
jotting down the theme ok lets get it
You're like Louie Zong to me, except that Louie Zong is also my Louie Zong. The Lost Buoy made me feel a lot of good things and is truly wonderful. You deserve to not hate and even perhaps quite like it. I can't wait to see what the next quirky, fun, emotional, whimsical thing you make next!
Thank you for having this conversation with us PJ. You are always a big part of my creative healing process over the years. The buoy is a symbol of hope :)
glad you made this video. Learning about the artist's indent from the artist themself and realising that it's actually similar to what you interpreted it as, is somewhat comforting.
For me personally it was important to see the happy ending. Even after the buoy was forced out of his home by a force he couldn't control he didn't lose himself, stayed kind and helped those in need. And even when he was seemingly stuck in despair(seaweed), a kind stranger helped him and showed him that it's still possible to find a new place you can call home. Overall great message for those who are struggling and for those who have the means to help others. The buoy didn't ask for what happened to him but it was up to him how to react to it and to stay afloat :)
It’s so awesome to hear you’re proud of your work!! The lost buoy is so incredible!!
As someone close to me said "good is good enough". Do not break yourself trying to be perfect and do not doubt yourself, as it only hinders you. Try what you can, but then also take a step back and look at what you accomplished
Your film was incredible! Loved the pacing and sense of isolation. It was a relatable story for the state of the world these past couple years.
Thank you PJ.
I am studying media engineering and I want to specialize in 3d computer animation. But truth is? The last couple years have been quite a rough place and I haven't achieved anything in a really long time. Such a long time that it feels like I'll never achieve anything ever again.
Being an extreme perfectionist which leads to overthinking everything instead of just doing it combined with the fine arts of self-sabotaging really isn't helping at all.
I haven't watched your short film just yet but I'll sure as hell will! So thank you. Thank you for not giving up and talking about it. It gives me a little hope too.
you’ve inspired me so much since i first found your channel about six years ago. even now, the project that i just started working on again originally sprouted from watching your short films. you have had such a positive impact within my life and my art and i am forever grateful for you. thank you for helping grow this love of storytelling for me, peej.
As a 3D Artist myself this is quite impressive for someone in their early days of 3D!
I've also struggled with getting back in touch with art and creativity over the last two years. I've been watching your videos on UA-cam for nearly 10 years (😬) and they have always been a source of creative inspiration and motivation, but watching your old Blender Twitch livestreams recently has been enormously helpful for me. Popping one on in the background gives me a little company while I work on projects and watching your skills develop from the Krabby patty to the Lost Buoy is awe-inspiring. It's been serving as a reminder that I can grow and get better at things with time and patience. I'm glad you're getting back to creating things you like and I'm excited to see what else you end up working on!
Glad to know there's still a few genuine, intellectual individuals on this app who dont thrive off the suffering of others, ik that was backhanded, just take the compliment PJ
It’s been so so fun watching you get better and better with blender over the past year. Inspiration is HARD to find, but it struck you, and you ran with it
I watched the lost buoy pretty much two days after it came out and I cannot express how 'up this street' this animating is for me!! I am so thankful for your content and animations, I LOVE this 3D animation film more than everrrrr. Good luck with any future projects! :)
Of course I do pj who doesn't!
ahh i'm so glad that you found the inspiration and motivation to create things again! it's amazing to see the things your brain can come up with, and your journey has been super inspiring :") and the lost buoy was such a wonderful and moving film, love it sm!
IM SO DUCKING PROUD OF YOU!! Caps aside, I'm so glad this medium allowed you to find inspiration and get creating again! I can only imagine the frustration of not being able to create as a creator. It's also no small feat to go from just starting to use a medium to producing a whole short film with it, so heck yeah you should be proud of yourself!
The past 2 years have been draining for lots of us, but I really do feel like The Lost Buoy captured that feeling of wandering and hopefully coming back to something, which I know I've experienced recently. Adulting is hard...but this lil decompression video (plus the short film itself) from a UA-cam OG I looked up to as a teenager(where tf did the time go?!) is making me feel a lil more inspired and energized about the future :)
This whole blender progress story + the work you've been putting out has been inspiring me so much as well, and I'm thinking about also uploading my own first attempt at an animation as well, so thanks so much, let's continue the creative cycle! ☺️✨
I just wanted to say that I can really really relate. I've been struggling to create for so long. And I'm 4 years into a design degree. That's... problematic. I've been watching you make awesome shit for about a decade now, and I am always inspired by you Peej. You never cease to bring a sense of fun to what you do. Thank you ♥
And dude Blender?!?!?! Incredible
Hope to see the movie soon!
louie zong is amazing, literally the reason i listen to lofi all the time now
the lost bouy was so good! definitely feeling very decompressed, this was a great start to my morning ^-^
lost buoy was amazing!!
im so happy you are at least semi-proud of your art pj. its fucking gorgeous
really needed to hear this, been dealing w the most creativity related anxiety of all time lately. Appreciate u PJ, always a joy to watch whatever you've made. I remember being absolutely psyched when Oscar's Hotel came out, and that feeling of excitement is back again for the new buoy film. Will check it out right now, congrats on another great release!
Wow thanks PJ, I'm sobbing whilst trying to cook breakfast
blender inspiration lets go hes getting there
I’m so proud of you PJ!! And I’m so grateful for all the inspiration you’ve given me over the years, especially regarding the art of keeping-going.
Damn I love that background music.
PJ, I’m so glad you feel satisfied with this project! I always admired how (unlike other youtubers who stick to a certain formula for success) you’re constantly creating the new things that you feel inspired to create. Every few months I find your channel again and can’t stop watching! You’ve been one of my favourite creators for such a long time, and I wanted to say that today because I just got a new bag to start a new school/college tomorrow and (while I changed all my other pins to really feel the ‘blank slate’ opportunity of starting somewhere unknown) I transferred the tiny planet explorer pin I bought a few years back to my new bag! You will always be an inspiration PJ, an inspiration for me to follow whatever projects most inspire me regardless of what I’m expected to create! Stay strong and keep creating the things that you feel satisfied with- because regardless of what you create we will all still support you! Thanks a lot for always sharing your creativity with us PJ! ☺️
It was so wonderful to watch someone learn a new medium and put out yet another wonderful film. Your channel is always something special :)
You saying all of that is so validating and relatable! Very proud of you for your beautiful artwork and happy that you like it as well!! Keep being your awesome self ✨️
It is determination and drive. It is the the desire and you now see the impact it has left on you. Yes, you are handsome. Be safe in your travels. Just think about those that will enjoy your work.
So proud of you pj! Watching you over the years and seeing you progress is really amazing!
I gasped OUT LOUD seeing you on my feed again.
Yay, so cool to watch and hear about your creative journey the past couple of years! Can't wait to see where you go next. It's always a joy to see you tackle a new medium and throw that "kickthepj" style into it :-)
I hope you are super proud of yourself for creating such a beautiful film! It's always so inspiring to see you make things, you make such unique things. I hope to see much more from you in the future! Great job PJ. :)
yayyy we love decompression
Wow I feel like yesterday I was watching you experiment with blender, now you’ve made an inspiring gorgeous short film. I hope you keep going, and I’m going to try and take this to heart for myself as well
Thanks PJ for the inspirational advice can't wait to see what you come up with the future.
Thanks PJ - I really needed to hear this!! I've been in a similar situation trying to make a short film during the Covid period, with setbacks and moments wondering if it is even worth it, but I specifically decided to make it about that struggle -to persevere creatively, no matter what- , and that keeps me on track!!
Everyone else: gushing praise over the new animated short
Me: those glasses are AWESOME where did you get them???
i searched you up randomly because i always get sad that you’re not suuuuper popular anymore. i feel like everyone likes dream team and dsmp now and i don’t blame them, but i’m sad people in gen Z don’t know about you.. you are amazing and sooo creative and fucking inspiring!!!!
thank you for the sincerity and creativity 💜 I appreciate everything you’ve made, and the lost buoy was very comforting in a lot of ways
Thank you for your inspiring words! I'm happy to hear that you are proud of yourself & i think it's important to be able to say that you love or at least like the things you created. It's not arrogant, it appreciating your own work. And i think it's great that you're working on that. I think your art is incredible so keep going!
i love seeing how far you're going jn your creative journey throughout the years, peej. this is inspiring me to keep going with my current project to make a book, though it has taken me like a year now, haha. thank you for sharing your thoughts, the short film was very sweet :]
I absolutely loved the buoy! so happy to see how much it meant for you :)
i didn't notice pjs glasses, and then i did
looking good
So proud of you PJ
