Gifted | animated short film

[@NostalgiaArtist]

this reminds me of being a kid when art wasn't about being "good", it was about just drawing what made me happy. it can be so difficult sometimes, the pressure to preform well. its hard, but ive been consciously trying to balance my personal joy with my personal development.

[@ibinkyz]

Hey, you're actually so right. Thanks for this. I also needed to remind to draw what makes me happy.

[@viperguru2547]

I feel that. It’s so hard to pick up a pencil and draw because I don’t feel like I’m good enough. I hope you overcome the bad thoughts 💙

[@retronickworld9693]

As a writer, even if this short film is about painting, this is really relatable. Underrated animation, deserves more!

[@yehiiel]

So happy you can relate!! Thank you sm!!🫶

[@doctorplagus6477]

what are you writting?

[@retronickworld9693]

@@doctorplagus6477 ​ Well, my current project is a ergodic book (a type of book that is like House of Leaves or Ulysses) called, here in Brazil, "A Casa do Chapeleiro" or in english "Hatter's House". In summary, it's a story with 6 point of view, each one brings a message, like the ambience in schools (bullying), the shadow-self, the difference between love and lust, and the main theme, that can be explained in one phrase: most of people hear, few listen, and even less act. It has many genres of story: romance, suspense, dystopia, religion and many more. If you want to have a better ideia, my inspirations are: the Joker movie, a Clockwork Orange, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Guilhermo del Toro's Pinocchio, 1984, Fahrenheit 451 and many more, even with my point of view.

Criminally underrated. The visuals, the color scheme, the fluidity of it, the artstyle, it all SCREAMS masterpiece. And the backstory portrayed behind just a mere minute? Absolutely amazing- No, ABSOLUTELY *BREATHTAKING* . I'm subscribing to you RIGHT NOW. JUST YOU WAIT, YOU YET ANOTHER UNDERRATED TALENTED ARTIST! I'M COMING FOR YOU! >:O

[@yehiiel]

Omg I’ve been waiting for someone to comment on the backstory in the background!👀👀 thank you so much for the comment 🫶🫶🫶🫶

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

This was just beautiful, and very relatable.

[@onenightheart]

the music from "a silent voice" really gave this an idyllic atmosphere... cute expressions too. good work!

[@ArpineBalayan]

What a beautiful way to show what artists see and feel while drawing. This is also super relatable to writers, musicians, filmmakers, animators and everyone who creates a new world from scratch by just using their imagination. With our imagination we can make new realities and share our thoughts with everyone else. Art is one of the biggest inventions of humankind and it is one of the biggest reasons why we still exist and continue to strive to be better, kinder and happier.

Simply; perfect, amazing, stunning, show stopping, life changing…

[@Timeworks1]

This really feels like something right out of pixar, besides the hundreads of millions of dollars of budget obviously, but it still has that same feel to it

[@eglol]

Yeah I agree. I also like the way you put that, since yeah Pixar would have a higher budget so technically it would be different

[@art_by_katrin]

Ohhh I love Blue Period!!! Also the shortfilm is very very good, it's simple but it feels so complete that way!

[@AbyssalPin]

I cant believe the amount of small details you managed to fit into this, probably the best 1 minute of my life spent in a while. Your criminally underated!

[@lrclouder8088]

ok im sorry.... how... is this.... POSSIBLY THIS UNDERRATED?!?! AMAZING visuals, storytelling and the meaning of this is actually insanely high quality, yet it doesnt even have a thousand views? I shall be leaving this comment, liking and subscribing to help the algorithm get this out there. Keep up the good work my friend!

[@yehiiel]

Thank you so much!!🥹🥹🥹

[@cresc3nt_main]

Oh oh oh this really hurt me to a personal level in a good way. The visuals are stunning, the music is perfect, it’s so beautiful, it’s made me cry for some reason 😭🙏

[@viperguru2547]

This is extremely beautiful and very relatable. After 10 years of severe depression, anxiety, trauma and undiagnosed ADHD, I am finally trying to get back my love for art. It’s been really difficult as most days I feel like a fraud or that I am not good enough for my age, but I am trying. Beautiful work💜💙

[@Itdoesntreallyexist]

I had always dreamed about such thing happening , every night when I wanted to go to sleep as a child I wished I could turn my drawings into reality, so i could draw a big beautiful house for my grandma (rest in peace) to live in it so she didn’t have to pay for expensive rent and stuff, even though my dream never came true, and she’s not here in this world anymore, this amazing short film made me remember my childhood and memories and all the beautiful wishes I used to have in my little heart 💔 I appreciate your art. Artists are really gifted and that gift is that they are able to gift dreams and even sometimes reality to the others.

[@yehiiel]

@@Itdoesntreallyexist wow that’s so so sweet❤️‍🩹 I’m happy my animation can give you some comfort, it’s because of those moments that I create what I do 💓

Every time I hear the silent voice soundtrack I tear up. This is so pretty as so relatable. You captured the “zone” so well and this nostalgic soundtrack added to the significance of it for me. This is wonderful.

[@rowan404]

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand the story. Can someone please explain it to me?

[@sweetmelon64]

I think it’s about the beginning process of healing after having dealt with the downfall of growing up gifted. A common outcome from that is developing a mental illness and we can see that she was diagnosed with something at 0:42. She is now trying to rebuild her creative skills by allowing herself to study art and paint freely. the beginning struggles to do so can be seen with the canvases with X signs on them and how her empty and dark mind are starting to be filled with flowers stars and a cozy house (her creation). I can only assume that the mom was the cause of her mental health’s deterioration as her messages disturbed the girl’s thought process. This is my take, and would like to know about others opinions as well though!

[@shreeyasahu1731]

The way I see it, It's like an artist who is thought to be "gifted" goes into a flow state while focusing on her work and exploring her thoughts and emotions in that flow state. She stays there for so long that she couldn't keep track of time..notice how it starts in the day and ends during evening. It's untill when she's suddenly "awakened" to reality by that sound of notification bell from her phone, she was in deep...deep trans like state
