The way plant detached itself from the pot reflects that how one should detach himself from comfort.The way plant was draged itself show its hardwork and the sunlight coming from window reflects the idea of hope.How it draged itself and jumped shows the risk and chance it took and on the otherside everything was bright,colourful,livlely plus it found jolly fellows.The animation perhaps in my perspective reflects the idea that how one should take risk and work hard to find the way out of any given situation in which we don't fit in,how detachment is very important for achieving goals.Life is worth taking risk and living rather than waiting to die just like those old and ugly plants.
Sometimes you just gotta take a leap of faith because you don't know what's coming for you in life.
oh let’s try
Yes🌱✨
I think Miles from 'spiderman into the spiderverse' took that a little to literally.

I rlly don't
This exactly why I make sure to care for all 60 of my plants
The moral of this story is "Always beleaf in yourself" ❤
Leap of Faith: A wonderful piece of art using flowers as personifiers.
I commented on the video my friends did the other week (kindled) and now I can comment on mine! :) Glad to see the video again, fun times making this with everyone involved. My role was one of the animators and editing. Now all we need is to have the last teams film up and the gangs all here! Thank you for uploading!
Well done really !! 🌱
Gj this looks great
@@crimeaisukraine6605 lol, thanks Michael!
Well done. Keep going
It's a cute, if slightly horrifying, little film! I love how you personified the plants _without_ making them freakishly humanoid.

I love how dark this short is and the uplifting ending.
That person should stay away from plants..
I bet he is also a VEGAN!!
The style, the modeling, rendering all looks fantastic! Congrats to the team who made this 💖 God bless your talents and efforts❤️🙌🏻😊
1:18 he says (save your self) thats so kind. 😢
Are all this videos award winning????🙉
Omg. Ive never seen such a creepy sunflower. This will follow me into my dreams.
Perhaps there is another, one word: Flowey
WOW, absolutely fantastic . VERY well done, GREAT CGI. 😀
Omg I love watching short films like this
A view of the struggle of life and the rewards after the efforts made. Nice 👍 one. ❤️ 🌟
Beautiful😍💞
Amazing job🙌
Such an adorable animation. What kind of moron puts plants in front of a heater, though?
The kind with a lot of dead plants
Mind blowing creation 🌼🌈🤩
Who puts on a heater when they have the window open?
The ending also could be explained as if the flower fell to its death and went to flower-heaven.
This comment is the shxt... It's Dark af, and also true.
OR it could have somehow glided to that overgrwon looking rooftop area that was seen when the flower looked down....
but im just spitballing
@@DarkReaper2597 it can be both, the rooftop can be the flowers version of heaven
@@DarkReaper2597 Hehe, I know that's what happened, I just like painting a darker tone ^ -^
@@iyinoluwaakinsuyi1093 I try my best ;) Sometimes it's good to look at things from multiple perspectives.
This is pretty accurate for what happens to plants in my baking hot apartment…
OMG I GOT HERE WITHIN THE HOUR!!! THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME!!!
Really love it❤😌
Precious 😍 simply precious 💋
# waiting for a new video | amazing Cartoon movie | Wishes from Sri Lanka
From now on I will take great care of my plants😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️💚💚💚💚
See yourself🌷👌
Save yourself.
Toxic people spread destruction and death to those who come in contact with them. You can't fix, repair, or save them. Don't hesitate. Be brave to leave them. And keep your soul and mind for positive, healthy relationships.
I love this!
love your animated short film
Super bro
Beautiful 😊😊😊
Such a great animation looks sooo amazing 👍 Good work 😊
Thank you! (Im not a random dude but I worked on the short 2:41)
Awesome..Humairah Ahmed
Awesome👍
She's save, YAY!!!!!.
Respect plants they give us breath
Cute characters ❤
Lovely so pretty I like you thanks for the video😊😊😊👏👏👏
Very Deep in my view it looks like the plants died and united in the other world it feels like life of some of us who are not happy 🤫
My houseplants were doing great until a couple years ago when they suddenly started dropping like flies. I've tried everything. It's really depressing! 😪
Hope for the Best.
Prepare for the worst.
The worst may never happen.
The best may sometimes happen.
Ohh.. what should we do now as humans 🤔
This us a good animation story
Wow
👌🏻.
One should take a leap of faith to change his life😇
Nice 👍
Aww cute
Do not commit suicide. Happiness is not on the other side. It is inside of you. Try to spread it around by bringing it out.
this is show how bad humanity is
killing plants destroy their habbits
Never ever give up
Nice video
sometimes you just have to jump off a building to be happy
the cactus really scared me
🤗👍👍
bruh
U crazyyy human
The tree scared me
Happy Namjoon Day!
Make a better place for you and for me 😊♥️🌹

Sir konta software use krta ho ap animations vidio bana ne ka liyee plz batao n sirrr
this is so sad and scary 😢
At least it has a happy ending.
true
This video showed that AC is not good for environment
That was the heater.
Which Software do you use for these animations?
@lia_berry 🍓 who made it? How can I talk to them?
I did a few quick searches and wasn't able to find much, but there is a chance they have this short on their own UA-cam channel if they have one (if they did you might be able to reach them there). You could also look for the artist's portfolios (Instagram/other social platforms) by investigating the names in the credits 2:30 and try to reach someone by that route. If I had to guess I'd say they might be using Maya, Houdini and maybe even Blender.
@@NickelLight ok Maya
@@xiaurrehman9011 update: The description has been updated and mentions that this is a thesis film, so I'd imagine it's probably made with whatever software that school teaches.

Dunno if it'll still be at the top of the comments, but a Thomas S. posted that they were an animator/editor for this clip.

I really think this is too argumentative and not drawing general beneficial comments on the anmiation, do you know the difference between "Faith" in both Islam and Christianity (the West)?
The concept of Faith between Christianity (West) and Islam
I was in a discussion with two missionaries of (Jahova) in the Netherlands, and we talked about the principles of religions, and the difference between the evidences from Islam and Christianity of faith. After I had showed them the difference between the reliability of transmitting the Islamic religion and the Christian religion, at the discussions, one of negotiators got up and said to me: _“be aware that after all this discussion; it is up to…”_ Then he wrote on the paper between us in large font *(FAITH),* and he underlined it twice for emphasis.
Such situation did not surprise me; I met many people from Western countries who were justifying their doctrinal position as a sign of belief that does not need an evidenced justification. Nevertheless, they apply the same view on us, so they do not ask us for evidence, but rather look at us with the view of the believers, i.e., faith that is free of evidenced justification.
*And faith - in this sense -* is not a purely idiomatic issue. Rather, the definition of faith in Western dictionaries has become restricted by the lack of proven or justified evidence; so faith (إيمان) can be translated into English as _“faith,”_ or _“belief.”_ Below are some definitions of the two words (faith,” or “belief) as mentioned in some dictionaries.
[Faith] _strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof.[1]_
_Firm belief in something for which there is no proof.[2]_
[Belief] _an acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof.[3]_
_Confidence in the truth or existence of something not immediately susceptible to rigorous proof.[4]_
The above mentioned definitions are the Western meaning of faith and Western religious belief. Let us come to the Islamic definition of the term belief and faith.
Faith in language:
_It is validation.[5]_
Belief: _is holding heart’s holding on a thing, meaning to believe it and submit to its validity.[6]_
In the legal terminology, it is said: Faith is _confirmation of the heart, statement of the tongue, and action of the limbs._ *But:* is _confirmation of the heart_ mentioned here the same as Christians' _“a belief without evidence of the authenticity of which is being affirmed”_ ?
It is worth mentioning that the Islamic concept of belief is far from the Western definition. If we translated the Western definition of faith into Arabic, we would translate it to _conjecture, speculation [7], or guesswork, astrology, or bet._
Believing in something without conclusive evidence or preponderant conjecture is a kind of tampering with worldly matters, such as speculation and betting, as well as matters of religion on which a complete cosmic vision is based, which may lead to eternal bliss, or eternal torment.
Faith in Islam is closer to a practical submission to a certain science, and the closest meaning that fits part of the definition of Islamic faith in the West is the word (knowledge). For Western philosophers, knowledge has been known - for a long time - as: _justified true belief._ Regardless of the controversy over the possibility of defining knowledge. However, it brings the idea that we are trying to communicate. Thus, faith in Islam is not a spiritual leap, but a belief in a case for which we have justification or indicative support for its validity, and then we know it.
But the previous definition was not sufficient in defining knowledge. One may believe in something and it is true, but for corrupt or illusory reasons, evidence, or justifications, it is not considered knowledge. The philosopher Gettier[8] alluded that philosophers wanted to put another limitation or change the constraint of justification to causation[9] or dependence.[10] So that believing in the truth through sheer chance does not come under knowledge.
It may be said that this last restriction is not necessary for us; the way to reach the truth and to know it is not the center, axis and goal of the religion. However, access to the truth has many various ways, and it does not necessarily invalidate the truthfulness of people’s belief if the evidence on which they built their belief are not correct. Believing in the fundamentals of Islam and agreeing with its teachings is sufficient to become a Muslim, and simplicity is from God’s mercy to His servants. Such matter is not as some theologians claimed that the path to knowing Allah and the prophecy of His Prophet ﷺ is limited to a specific evidence.
It should be noted that the Islamic definition of faith is not limited to the previously mentioned definitions, by saying that every Muslim must have a specific justification for their faith, but what we claim is that it is possible for a Muslim to infer with evidences and proofs of the correctness of their doctrinal position, in contrast to the Western definition that faith in religion is devoid of the possibility of inferring proofs at all, so he who builds his faith on imitation also falls under the umbrella of Islam, and the fact that they did not follow the path of proofs and evidence does not deprive them of being a true Muslim of faith.
However, I exclude the possibility of being certain about something without any justification at all. Justification therefore, includes all psychological factors and evidence - even if they are relative subjective. Pure guesswork should not be definitive, and this is one of the important differences between Western and Islamic faith. One of the conditions of testimony is assertiveness, not conjecture, and we will come to how to differentiate between them. As for the Western believer, for whom the origin is submission without evidence, for him, assertiveness is not one of the conditions of faith. How can he be certain of something that has no evidence at all?! Even a Muslim who built his faith on imitation is not free from psychological connotations and innate meanings that led him to adhere to his religion and be certain of its validity.
In addition to the broadness of the term faith in Islam, and the possibility of inferring the validity of its contents: starting from the evidence for the existence of God, and ending with the evidence of prophecy and resurrection. So, Islam has given an additional criterion and restriction through which it is possible to differentiate between the believer and the non-believer, which is work, knowing the truth is not enough to be called If a person is a believer, God Almighty said: [And they rejected those Signs in iniquity and arrogance, though their souls were convinced thereof: so see what was the end of those who acted corruptly!] Verse (27:14) (Trasl. Yousif Ali). So, the conviction without its consequences (i.e. work) is not enough to be faith.
As we mentioned above, faith in Islam is composed of _belief, saying and action._ Action is one of the realistic, rational and legal standards. It is impossible for a person not to have a motive in all of their actions. The traveler has a motive, and the worker has a motive, and the learner has a motive, etc. Likely, it is impossible for a person to do something without a motive, and that is why it is said in psychology that the person who is characterized by inactivity and excessive sleep _“has a lack of motivation”,_ i.e., there is no motive inside him that urges him to move and work. Hence, there is a deep connection between man’s internal motives and his external actions, *as the poet says, representing this relationship between the lover and the beloved:*
If your love was true, you would have obeyed.
For indeed the lover is ever obedient to the one he loves,
Likewise in the issue of faith, it is impossible for a person to be a true believer, if his faith does not motivate him to work, obedient to the commands of religion. So whoever claims to believe in Allah and he does not pray, does not fast, does not pay zakat and does not ever recite the Qur’an; how can he claim faith?!
Vice versa; Whoever prays, fasts, pay zakat, and recites the Qur’an in secret and in public, without intending to argue, it is impossible for his actions to stem from a non-belief heart, and this faith varies in the heart as the heavens and the earth vary, faith in Islam increases and decreases, and it can be said that it is (non-binary), or not like a computer; either for non-faith, or for faith, rather like sight which strengthens and weakens. Legal proofs for this meaning are very many (for many details see so the Book of Faith by Imam Al-Bukhari at the beginning of his Sahih).
*In conclusion.* It is clear to us - according to what we have presented - that faith in Islam has advantages that the so-called _“Western faith”_ does not possess, in terms of: definition, the possibility of inferring it, the breadth of its concept, its broadness, and its realism.
