Her Boat _ Sheridan Animation 2019 short film

[@OrganicTrash]

I just went through heartbreak and I have to say this film feels like that metaphor for me. finally getting something, thinking "this is it", only for it to be snatched away. you dwell on what was, and go through every step of grief. everything around you stops, you beg for it back, you feel anger, and then eventually acceptance as you let it go. the sunsets of life are bittersweet, somehow beautiful but painful. you take what you learned from it and create something better, you find yourself and grow

[@harmell_lintstraw]

This is an absolutely beatiful interpretetion, I didn't manage to discover the message myself, so thanks for this!

[@labybirdhill6001]

…🗿

[@spontaneousadventurouskid]

I love the way you explain the short film, it sounds so poetic, although I'm sorry to hear you went through that heartbreak, but let me just say that I can't help but notice how your eyes emit a beautiful green like precious emeralds, as if they are radiant gemstones filled with spring's light and energy allowing you to see the wonder in every scene you write. I just had to say that.

[@itstwokay]

Absolutely stunning animation, so fluid and colors are beautiful. This has me thinking if there's more meaning than what's shown at surface level. Great job, keep it up!

[@Joenyoshua]

yes!, the color palette ist so very good!!

[@rickyrickster1303]

It’s life

[@James-wd9ib]

Life is but a dream row... row... row your boat

[@Robicraft636]

Please tell me how to make animated vedios

[@CerealBee]

Why is this so underrated? The animation for this is absolutely gorgeous! Love how well incorporated the 3D elements are with the 2D ones!

[@itzmedb8290]

Agreed, it's definitely worth at *least* a million views, if not more.

[@tahsinozgur8694]

You have to run into it to view it, as I did just now!

[@jjstarrprod]

Funny how the youtube algorhythm is pushing this short back to the shore now. Absolutely lovely work. The delicacy of all her movements and expressions, the elegance of the lineless look (one of my favorite looks in 2D animations), the Porco Rosso-esque color palette, the nod to the legendary Father & Daughter... So many things work wonders in this short. Hard to imagine that this is a student's work. Looking forward to what you're going to do later on (or even now. We're already 3 years afterwards. Hope you could find a good job befitting your skill in the animation industry)

[@wayne30047]

I see what you did there.

[@ingridsommer2232]

The algorithm recommend ed this to me too

[@qwertysub2038]

Dang I would’ve thought by the views this was newly fresh only to realize it was made 2 years ago. It’s absolutely gorgeous and thanks to my recommendations for this one.

[@derekdexheimer3070]

I think it was Orson Welles who said the best film is a lucid dream. This piece captures that blurring of the real, super-real, surreal, and dream. Opulent colors, fantastic detail without being finicky. Colors glow, beyond what the sea and the shore are capable of. All without a word of dialog. Just absolutely wonderful.

[@japaa16]

this video has so many layers of emotion.

[@jkrwhy]

The 3D animated shots blend way too well with this film. It's really stunning to see such visuals bleed together; especially with the way the water is animated. This, in addition to the nearly line-less art style, is really gorgeous to say the least. I'm genuinely captivated by the character's story, emotions, and connection with what I can only describe as her only friend. Marvelous job to the team that worked on this! I would love to see more, if there's any in store, for the future! Cheers! ✨💖✨

[@jheart_ii]

We treat our first steps, first experiences,first artwork, first success, our first job, our first dream as close and dear into our hearts that when life take it away it is devastating. Almost feeling hopeless to try again. Being lost and grieving to what is lost is all part of the process. We give up and felt like there's no anymore hope to continue. But maybe the things we've lost is the one who'll bring us into much better place to try again. As we bring our memories of our first, we go forward to the next, better and maybe a little bit wiser. We won't know how many loss is on the way but the possibility of rebuilding and seeing our growth along the way is there. What a great reminder through this animation. 😭

[@mariel1533]

I love how her hair length changes show the passage of time. She had that red boat for a good long time and then in the end her cut hair shows another time skip. Amazing work!

[@noahnaugler7611]

Man, I wish art and animation styles closer to this were more common in larger productions. The character design, the mixed methods, the colour theory, it's all so beautiful. Even with a totally different soundscape, I'd watch something led by this creator

[@SuperHeroSewing]

Clearly a labor of love. Took me somewhere magical.

[@lexis9961]

I don’t know whether I liked the movement of the waves when she was helpless at 4:37-5:05 or the way the sun hits her after the storm at 5:33 more lol. I could never imagine having the bravery to animate the ocean cause it seems so overwhelming and yet here it is. Really great job, I can see the passion put in here ❤️

[@user-ft8ww5qy8q]

波の音、カモメ?の鳴き声、かわりゆく天気、遥か大海原の地平線。少女が一人。セリフは一切ないものの、見る者に十分な想像力を与えてくれる良作だと思います。ありがとうございます。何度も見たくななります。

[@natannick8308]

"For the first time in my life..... I'm in loss for words"

[@KevinMcLean]

This is a masterpiece! I can feel the emotion through every aspect of its production. The small acting gestures, the story pacing, the music especially, everything! It's all a masterpiece!

[@bitterbunny7920]

This to me reminds me of the pain and fear of being forced to leave behind your beautiful light filled childhood as you start a new chapter of life in the adult world. It's a tough battle of realization with a harsh feeling of loss to encompass it. Learning to embrace your new world as an adult is the most beautiful part about this, as that embrace does not mean completely starting anew, but taking with you the precious memories and lessons you learned as a child and incorporating those into your life. All is not forgotten, and it is the memories that make our lives full of nostalgia and beauty. We do not need to ever completely leave our childhood behind to grow up. We simply need to embrace the change and remain true to who we are and remember our roots. I feel like this is just the type of thing I needed to see.

[@jayseonwoo8338]

It is like looking at a beautiful landscape painting.

[@extrachipper]

Beautiful and immersive. I swear, when those drops of rain hit the sand at 4:11 I could _smell_ it.

[@aggimajera]

I watched this on the steam during the San Diego International Film Festival. You had some stiff competition. But this short stood out to me as the one that should have taken best short award. Absolutely stunning work.

[@RCSXDV]

That boat was love, and the boat was life. Also, this was such a beautiful and heartwarming animation film of yours.

[@chaoticcar6231]

the distant rumbling of the thunder with just the absence of the soundtrack that was always there. sheeet man. shivers

[@shenglongisback4688]

I cry cos of how hard I try, but the feeling inside never dies. So I come back stronger and wiser now I reach goals that are higher. Awesome animation.

[@slaveggs1058]

The algorithm is the wave, returning this video to our recommendations after it was lost to time. Truly stunning animation♥.

[@rofeliafe4481]

Beautiful piece 😊, kinda giving me the vibes of " No matter how much time you spend to create something, you should know how to let go of it (gone/dead/vanished) and move forward to a new fresh start". That's how life works "Moving forward".

[@_Asleep_]

Why can't i like this more than once?

[@SuperNovaGaming774]

this master piece deserves more views then the average drama and gaming channel........bravo.

[@BigBriann]

めちゃくちゃ良いやん！ なんでこんなに再生数少ないのかもわからんしなんで急におすすめに出たかもわからんけど最高でした！

[@ztp3631]

I love the atmosphere. It was so graceful to look at and gave expression to the scene!

[@MiMayonGo]

Such a captivating animation and it almost felt like surreal. The animation blends in with the story so well, and I could feel and see the emotion of the story as they convey through my eyes. Overall, this animation is a brilliant masterpiece that deserves the audience's applause.

[@speedwagonfoundation3893]

No matter how much you've loss, theres always a piece of them left

[@Goopy_Studios]

That was an awesome animation. The amount of smoth animation its absolutely stunning. To have a story be played without no voice actors and still be a great story its quite impressive. Edit:this guy should make a movie.

[@opheliadreamcore]

Hello! This animation is so beautiful and gorgeous, its amazing!! I think that this animation has more to the inner meaning than the surface level story. That girl shown here may depict someone who is trying to hold on to a loved one and is trying her best to get them to get better ( like repairing the boat), or maybe she has lost a loved one and is still trying to hold on to their memory and is not able to let them go and move on. The boat is that loved one and this animation might symbolize the trials and tribulations of life ( the storm) related to the loss of somebody very dear to us. She goes through many hardships, not being able to let them go she only has their memory left and is trying to just hold on to it. But at last when the boat is swept away and broken down by the storm, she has to let them go and faces grief and depression too. At last when we see that she has cut her hair short and made a new boat, it means that she has fully moved on but holds on a piece of her loved one ( the piece of boat, which symbolizes a memory I think). I can be wrong, but this is just my perception of the meaning of this video. I tried my best to explain lol sorry if my explanation is bad, English is not my first language.

[@allenkeith7160]

She is absolutely precious... and the animations are beautiful too! Also was relieved at the ending, I was worried for a few moments.

[@plant-jack]

This is one of those that is gold that is just never see what it deserve

[@Aminimint]

Really love this short, especially the atmosphere, and the way the pace holds when she's grieving her boat. Idk if it's intentional or not, but the scene where she use a piece of the old boat as a part of the new one reminds me of the philosophical thought experiment; Ship Of Theseus. I think it's a really brilliant short film

[@hedgehogmind3186]

The boat is symbolism for loved ones. fucking bittersweet. heck you for making me feel emotions >:(

[@Fantph]

This feels like it was made with love

[@rickyrickster1303]

It’s life, it’s loss, it’s transformation and reinvention. The indomitable human spirit

[@incendiarycrocs7449]

So beautiful! I really love how the colour becomes washed out because of the storm and the change in emotion

[@plucas1]

Amazing work. I could have watched a feature-length movie of the heroine just doing her every day chores like in the first third. It was so beautiful to look at and so relaxing!

[@auliamate]

Randomly getting recommended this 🔥🔥🔥🔥 WE MAKING IT ONTO THE BOAT WITH THIS AMAZING WORK OF ART! You guys created something amazing, horrendously underrated.

[@OttrPopAnimations]

you know an animation is good when it makes you want to cry

[@tobiyahajayi2704]

Yeah, I very nearly did when she was just looking at the huge wave coming at her and not doing anything. To be honest I thought she was dead the moment she woke up on the boat, and that it was some sort of afterlife analogy.

[@Starliix]

this animation is absolutely stunning! I don’t know why it’s so underrated, but this deserves so much more attention.

[@dylangtech]

This animation style is something to behold, as are the soundtrack! Reminds me of how Japanese anime and Walt Disney once had the same style, and both left and took something good with them. But now they're back together :)

[@dokiizutea]

Such a beautiful portrayal of story and emotions! I enjoyed every little bit of this! Thank you, and beautiful work!

[@johnschlosser8472]

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you.

[@samelis6546]

My cat died, and this feels like home especially somewhere in the middle after the boat left her onshore and she stared into the sunrise. Thank you very much. Love the video

[@wiz_7130]

This film was, fantastic. Just stunning!!

[@Kazu_Tea]

I have no words other than stunning and gorgeous. i cant describe how beautiful this is

[@KeinTabale068]

This is underrated, needs more views.

[@sakuraa_anime]

Красивая анимация, с красивой девушкой и морем ' )

[@sa1sheare-209]

Being on you’re own ship really is the best feeling

[@Xenderman]

This is genuinely one of the most beautiful short films I've seen in recent years. Glad I took the time to watch this. The way I see it, this is someone who is persistent in what she does to achieve her goals. Keep moving forward, even when it's painful. Incredible work!

[@shakeemwinn3647]

A very stunning piece of work. Great character design and animation.

[@mrtoto9749]

Absolutely amazing. What a stunning animation; everything works so well. Water fluidity, the wind, and ominous waves. All together perfect work, you should be proud.

[@Noelciaaa]

woah!! that was absolutely stunning!!

[@thehyperstar123]

Out of all the 2D shorts I’ve seen on KZbin, this and Colourful take the cake for the vibrant art style and atmosphere I’ve seen. Well done!

[@limeslime711]

If you replace every piece of a boat, is it still the same boat? Was it ever the same, from one moment to the next? Maybe the familiarity is what makes it the same at all. Maybe it is only a different boat when you replace its place in your heart.

[@Matroskyy]

Wonderful, absolutely stunning!!

[@Fudgeler]

Absolutely stunning! Love the style

[@skarpetky4649]

Really amazing!!! It fills me with a lot of peace

[@Breezely22]

Someone, something saved you. And then you lost them. You had to let go. But that doesn't you have to let go of the good memories. Use them to build and inspire a better future.

[@notwennaes]

Every aspect of this work is exceptional, bravo!

[@wb3d46A]

That was beautiful animation story thank you. :)

[@patrickbernacer1158]

Why aren't you recognize by the world yet this is truly beautiful

[@spiff73]

very well done. congratulations on finishing this beautiful film.

[@CommonlyScarce]

This is absolutely beautifully done, amazing work!

[@harmell_lintstraw]

I think it's increadible how within just the first minutes I already got emotionally attached to the protagonist. Her self-contained, simple but pleasurable life has such a sentimental beauty to it, how she found happiness in complete solitude doing something she clearly love, something that satisfies her even at the cost of being absolutely and completely alone. I truly felt her pain during the climax. I am truly speechless, I don't know what to say. This was simply a masterfully written story. With the reacurring element of that drawing of her and the first red boat. How, without any usage of spoken words we can imediatly understand how simple yet beatifully full of life her daily life is. The impact of the storm coming closer and the emotionally charged moment of her losing the red boat, but not it's memory because she still had that drawing, that simbolized the conection they had. I am just rambling at this point but I just wanted to say that this is truly an achievement, it's not easy to make the viewer so emotionally attached to an inanimate object like that. This has simply way too many positives, I didn't evem mentioned the stellar animations, really amazing 👏👏

[@wopani5161]

Best animation. A girl in nature is beautiful.
