Description Finesse

Sorry for resubmitting this. I had a major problem with one music. I fixed it as soon as the pianist emailed me. I mistook it for another title.

Five weeks of work. Almost half of the time I had technical problems. Especially with Flash.

This is a symbolic type of film. It's really hard to understand. It wasn't that successful. I need more experience. Sorry if you couldn't understand it.

I might upload a version with a story teller. Might.

This film means a lot to me. It is real in my life. You don't have to believe me.. Finishing this film, made me realize how much i need to learn. Making this film really opened up my eyes...

Animation : Flash
Graphics : Illustrator with a mouse ( I need a tablet! XD )
Editing : Final Cut & Quicktime
Music : They where so nice to let me use their music. <3

It's amazing. For using a mouse on the whole thing, you did a superb job. The storytelling is wonderful, too. A girl drawing out her prayers, living in a beautiful land, but still having to face her reality, it's very touching. Especially when she cries, and her tears are caught in the hands of her Creator, and He turns it into something beautiful.

Beautiful film.

Fantastic! You really stuck it up and nailed the message perfectly.

That brought my eyes to water- I know what it's like being in Stephanie's shoes at some extent. Wow... I'm sympathizing with your Character O.o hehe.

Great job once again... I know it must have taken allot of effort. Flash ain't easy unless you got heart- know what I'm saying?

Huwaa... really?? I'm soo happy to hear that!! Thank you Thank you That's great! at some point I'm happy Stephanie was alive to someone else :3.

Haha uh huh... Flash isn't easy.. it's only now that i realize that its not about the program I use... but it's the heart, the passion.. As they say, If there's a will there's always a way ( even if knowledge is absent ).

Thanks so much ^_^

imagination plus skills!!!!! can i show this to my friends????you are successful in delivering the message. the symbols are illustrated good. i hope kids can also watch this despite the idea given by the film is hard to understand for them--we can acquire almost all the material things in the world but we can't have our past back. your ideas fascinate me..

by the way, i made a poem about the last part (when she drew the sunset). that part drew ideas from my head because i find it very poetic ^_^ i'll note you.

keep it up! ^_^

HUwaa! Thank you! and it'll be more than okay haha.

Thank you so much! I am so glad that you got to understand the short film... I am so so happy whenever people get thee symbolisms

HUwaa!! You did?! AHH! I can't wait for it! Yay! Thank you Thank you!
