[@jazzycat1390]

Big props to Zoë Medcraft for being the lead animator in such a piece, i feel it is needed to be said otherwise people will just assume it was only felix and disregard the other animator and others credited in the description.

[@ilusions4]

@@christianluz602 we did it, reedit!

[@EllieCollie]

It was Felix

[@boycub]

​@GalaxOperi the credits in the description list Zoë as the lead for this project ! Felix was another animator, but Zoë was at the head :)

Was the second half of this comment necessary?

@@mycaleb8 i felt it was needed since there's people who would need more clarification to understand my comment better. There's no need to call it unnecessary that's just rude, have a nice day.

[@thescarymoosh]

Oh my gaw. Zoë is a force to be reckoned with! So tight with the music and so much background storytelling. Definitely one to rewatch many times to catch all the little details.

[@olliefischer]

yeah normally when i watch a piece of animation synced to music, i'm always kinda dreading, in the back of my mind, the moment when the animation will fall a little bit out of sync-- unnoticed by most, but glaringly obvious to a former band geek like me-- but in this animation, that just never happened! every footfall, every dance step, every little bounce, was right! on! the beat! and i can't thank you enough for that!!

[@shawncarney9657]

Don't forget about a wonderful collaboration with Felix colgrave!

[@meehaw11]

When you don't know if the animation is made for the music or the music for the animation is when you know both are in perfect harmony and done skillfully

[@KingRidley]

The animation is done for the music. It's way easier to time an animation to the beats of a song than it is to go the other way around.

[@eggmon420]

I’m in love with this watercolour-y vibe they went with. It fits the music PERFECTLY. Zoë and Felix both did an excellent job.

​@@owenjohns610 In general I feel like these same "WE GETTING OUT OF [X] WITH THIS" are getting overbearing. There's better ways to convey enjoyment than it (In my opinion, at least)

[@dummyringbomb]

i like how this seems to take place in a post-apocalyptic world, for humans at least, judging by the unmoving humans being wrapped by vines and flowers, but it's just alluded to, it's not the focus

[@ActualSpectra]

Serene music combined with relaxing mystical visuals. Very brilliant from, Nitai, Rejoicer, Zoe, Felix and the rest of the team. You guys are amazing!

[@totalanimalactionofive9980]

I like the reveal of the little society underground showing the buildings are made of food boxes and other objects, that's a neat detail. there's some mystery at the beginning too with the shot of the humans covered in vines and the plants aboveground. really cool seeing how they tied everything together, the little shot of the outside with the lights at 3:35 is beautiful. great animation (and the song is chill and fitting too)

[@costaslambrou5424]

This is fantastic Zoe, when I first watched a little Wip of this I thought it was progress for the plants loopdeloop. This is so awesome, I love how your work evolves while you still keep your classic textured style.

[@MisanthropicOcellus]

Fascinating how you and Zoë bring different styles to the table yet it retains the colgrave style

[@christianluz602]

I cannot understand how some of these animators like Worthikids can blend 2D animation and 3D so.... beautifully and make it look so amazing. Animation like this is finally at the fingertips of everyone(more or less) and its so exiting to see what smaller studios are going to create without having major players spoiling their original ideas and conceps for some great work. The scene were the ant were going down thru the antholes was mesmerizing i wasnt sure what i was looking at, 3D or 2D or what i honestly had a blast with this one. Visually it felt very familiar i could tell who this came from. Just another great piece well done team, you effing killed it. Glory to the anthill

I think I’d like the song normally but paired with the animation it’s addictive

[@CaJoel]

the bass is so quiet yet effective

[@MillywiggZ]

Feels old and new. During the 2000’s this is the kind of music I used to listen to, something Giles Peterson used to play on his late night shows. The animation has that earthy feel of the Flash animation at the time, the ‘Samorost’ game and ‘Orisinals’ games to name two. Felt good to be back. 🫡

[@silentaviary]

It's wild how many people are ignoring how Zoë is the director and lead animator of this video when the credits make it so clear. Obviously, Felix does incredible work and his influence is apparent here, but this video really belongs to Zoë

[@TheSpaceOctopus]

​​@@silentaviaryfeel the same way. I was sent here by his video, but i really loved it and think she did an amazing job - i can tell this is largely someone else (Zoë) - and if people had bothered to read the description on the video he posted, maybe they would get it
