Heartaches - Al Bowlly: Animated Short Film

[@KactusKid]

We’ve come such a long way guys!!!! :> thank you all for watching my animation and liking it so much. I just posted it on KZbin to add to my portfolio and when I checked back I was super surprised and overwhelmed with the amount of attention and kind comments it had gotten! I wanted to say thank you and let you all know that I’m now working at laika animation studios (known for coraline, paranorman, Kubo, Boxtrolls and Missing Link) as a storyboard artist on future projects :) of course, not necessarily because of this video alone, but a huge part of motivation and inspiration came from how kind and enthusiastic all of you are. Thank you for supporting the beginning of my journey! And if you are in school starting your education for animation, feel free to reach out to me on my Instagram @kactus.kid :) thank you all again, you are all so super sweet!

[@FleegleFazbeagle]

Wait, you're working at Laika?😮 I hope you do well there!😊❤

its a bit sad tho, its of a broken relationship soooooo yeah.

[@theblevinator]

Gee, what a nice song, I hope it doesn't get remixed into a depressing song about slowly sinking into dementia, having your memories slowly burn away, leaving you unaware of who you are....

As much as modern media ruined my perception of this song, this is legitimately beautiful

[@Wexaz]

What do you mean? Was this song somehow distorted?

[@ShinnyTovs]

@@Wexaz (Just incase you don't know) people discovered it from the album "Everywhere at the end of time" by The Caretaker and the first song is this but sad and nostalgic. The album is about what it feels like slowly entering all stages of dementia and the album captures dementia pretty well actually.. Since the first song "it's just a burning memory" which is heartaches but sad and nostalgic it became the most popular and people made memes about it. The FULL ABLUM is 6 hour long but it is actually 6 album compressed into 1. (the album is not the thing that made heartaches bad but the media.)

This is beautiful. The style you chose not only fits perfectly with the song, but also must’ve taken forever to animate. You deserve more recognition for your effort! :)

This is by far the best animatiom ive seen that uses Heartaches

[@Glory2Snowstar]

One of my favorite things I’ve seen in a long time. There’s such clear passion poured into every little detail, it feels so cozy and nostalgic. Thank you for spending so much time on creating this beautiful memory.

[@noahthegamamatorstudios7539]

[@georgemackins9500]

This is wonderful. I’m sure Al Bowlly himself would have loved this.

[@jpvthegamer1209]

What an absolutely unique and talented style! This is some top tier animating, it shows the fact that this is a work of passion. keep doing what you love dude!
