GOLDEN HOUR - Animation Short Film 2021 - GOBELINS

[@sebasoler5347]

This looks astonishing. I love the little detail that, while everyone else seems a bit apathetic about the film, Allie and the director both get teary eyed when looking at the film they are making. With completely different roles they really seem to share the same passion and child like wonder about filmaking.

[@sophieh.4097]

i love this comment so much

[@yyg4632]

true. the filmamkers of this probably relate to allie and the director

[@otherpatrickgill]

They're not apathetic, they're just really tired. Making movies is hard on everyone

[@rmccord17]

This shouldn't be celebrated! I have no issues with the animation and the animator, it's wonderful to watch. However, this is an accurate description of the Hollywood process and it is terrible. I literally both love and hate this animation when I watch it; the animation is solid, and the story is satisfying with the main character stepping up to a challenge, but the demanding and little-rewarding work of making a movie for most who are employed is a problem. Edit: main point, I don't believe this should be something that people should aspire to. In the end, the industry uses everyone. It's a tireless and mostly thankless job, no matter what your job is.

[@crispyein8601]

The guitar!!! The color palette!!! The style!! The voice acting!!! This film is so magical, congrats GOBELINS 2021!!

[@FancyAvian]

Worthikids did some of the music I believe!

[@jirosx5784]

no way! what a coincidence lol hi its phoenix

[@senniie3372]

Worthikids is credited for the music in the description. I wonder if he allowed them to use some of his music or if he composed a track for them??

Damn, probably the most fun I've had with a Gobelins short. Great style, animation, and writing. Strikes a nice balance between being relatably stressful and exciting at the same time. Also, you guys got worthikids to do some music???

[@mr_0n10n5]

The disrespect! After all Allie did!! Can I say how amazing this is? I need to talk about this! I need to show as many people as possible!! Thank you so much 😭😭

[@Soulindex]

That's film production in a nutshell. There are dozens of Allies that enable the film to reach the heights that they do, but its usually the director or celeb that gets that spotlight. I like how it doesn't really focus on that in a negative way though, it actually ends with Allie being satisfied with her contribution to the project, because in all, that's really what it's all about.

[@wikitikibiki4084]

She appreciated in the end. She’s on stage with the director when he accepts the award. He doesn’t have to have stage hands there so this is definetly something.

the rest of the film: emotional, incredibly expressive, fluidly animated, beautifully designed and rendered, the music was incredible, the acting was great. seeing allie awkwardly standing on stage with the core group of the production as they give an academy award winner's speech? who put this ENTIRE tree in my eye. what an incredible film.

This is really more golden gem that more people needed to see right now for real Hope this gets more recognitions

[@CodenameCMB]

My god this is so nice. I love this character "Allie" doing her best during a film's production. I could imagine a series where she has to try and not screw up everyone else's performances while not realizing it was her the entire time.

[@diosmiosalome3663]

this is like a prequel of Sundown, another beautiful Gobelins animation! this was so beautiful, the vibe and pacing just hits you right then went hard at the ending with the allie/director parallel against that beautiful golden lighting. the music at end is just the cherry on top. kudos to the graduating students! edit: the picture at the end!

[@TongTong-or2bh]

I thought exactly that too!! When I realised they were on a time limit looking for a person I was a little worried it would be the same story as sundown but it had a lovely twist!

[@breadman2983]

ok that was brilliant. Style, asethic, the sound design. It felt and looked alive. They were going for the busy madness of a film set and they succeeded.

[@larateresa2313]

This is just so wholesome its almost overwhelming!!!! Especially as someone that relates to the way the director and assistant feel about making art! It really made me so so so happy, I hope y'all know that you're changing people's lives for the better

[@coe.3181]

I was so excited about this, and I wasn't dissapointed! Beautiful colour palette and awesome subtle yet funny character acting. The ending, when Allie takes the frog role, looks wonderful. Great job, Gobelins. Congrats to the team. Can't wait for the next shortfilms.

[@candicepractice]

i'm dropping a fanart asap also ALLIE NEEDS RECOGNITION FROM THE CREW OR I AM GOING TO SLAP THEM!!

[@TheMediaMachine]

I could go on watching this amazing animation for hours. It's gets you hooked, you feel overwhelmed by the chaos, you feel like you're in the animation and not watching the screen and you empathize with Ally and enjoy at the same time her zest, courage in getting the job done. I like how it just focuses on the story, the energy, chaos and resolution at the end. Awesome. My favorite out of all I have watched this year. My only disappointment is it wasn't longer. I wanted more.

You can really see the passion of those involved shine through those small gestures and movements that make the characters feel real and expressive. Its projects like these that make me love animation!

[@g_oduofthenorth9618]

As an ammeter filmmaker, that made my day. There's plenty of films about filmmaking, but not that many animated ones, as the production is obviously a completely different discipline, but you can tell that they did their research. Obviously this is sort of a fantastical version of the filmmaking process, but it communicates a very real sensation that's felt on even amateur film sets. I'm truly blown away by this.

[@богданГерасимов-з8у]

It makes me feel like literally i`m eating the peace of sun

[@LurkingLinnet]

One thing that I also observed idk if this was intended just my interpretation, at last when that person goes "Where is Alley? I dunno. You never see her when you need her" and there was Alley literally saving the last shot and making the dream come true. It made me realise that sometimes people can't really see how much you're putting in, that you'll be misunderstood at times or perhaps misjudged but quite realistically that doesn't mean anything.You did what you did and it counts even if people don't see it. No matter how tiniest of the task is given to you or how small your job if you put ever ounce of what you got and really weave it with passion and compassion then things turn out beautiful! ❤
