Rules

[@ikuvaito]

Judging by Chris' words, strong reactions, and actions, it sounds like he could've been a mormon in the past. They aren't allowed to drink caffeine and are indoctrinated to strictly follow their rules and teachings. His strong reaction to Andy breaking a rule and wanting to follow suit but struggling and almost breaking down to tears may very well be a display of the guilt and shame he was raised in.

[@halvernia8570]

Not going lie though when KZbin randomly recommended me vending machine I litteraly became hooked to the short film and comparing it to the short from last year the quality of the animation just skyrocketed especially the backgrounds. They look almost like there actual photos and almost beautiful just to look and everything else works together in harmony and the only way I saw this was when I went back to see vending machine again and saw this sequal to vending machine, and thanks to you (and maybe 2001: a space Odyssey) I kinda wan to go to film school because everything looks incredible, if you happen to see this comment I want to say thank you for making this wonderful series ❤️

Duuuude that was great, you really know how to nail atmosphere. Though this was just 3 minutes it really conveyed a cinematic feeling. Probably due to the complex lighting and 2.5D effects, which are very impressive . Even subtle things like voice acting and cinematography is great too. Fantastic work mate!

[@zavarious]

I had an instant cold sweat when my notifications showed this film was uploaded. I had a feeling this would be special, so I waited 'till I got off work to watch it on my TV in my bedroom... No distractions. After watching it, I knew I had to write my thoughts. First off, I love how episodic it feels. Even if this were the first film I saw without ever seeing Vending Machine before, I would still understand the main characters relationships and personalities. Your art style has definitely changed beautifully since your previous videos and it's heighten the emotion a lot more. The energy in the animation toke my breath away a few times. I could also feel Chris's anxiety and smallness in this one more, where as in Vending Machine, I didn't know he was even going though anxiety. That was probably my only issue with that film. I'm no professional filmmaker or critic, however I don't think I have to be one to say that your work is shaping out wonderfully. You deserve ever welcoming comment on this video and Vending Machine, and you will. Not only that, you made somebody's day today and inspired someone to get creative. Thank you! Keep up the good work, Luke!

[@noelwilliams8615]

i couldn't have said it better my self

[@DindellaTheDefender]

I love Vending Machine, because unless you’re also anxious you don’t necessarily recognize right away that he’s suffering with anxiety. For me, it’s a great display of what the average person sees these moments as when not experiencing it themselves. The moment it really hit me that he was anxious was when the guy said he didn’t want a coffee, because in his own mind everyone would judge him for coming into a coffee shop just to order a hot chocolate. It’s those subtle moments that really portray how irrational these anxieties are, because besides the initial recognition that he wasn’t ordering a coffee no one really blinked an eye. I thought it was a nice touch to put an “outside” view on something so internal.

Definitely related to Chris here.. I just started a relationship for the first time, I finally took the leap and felt brave enough to publicly be out with another guy. I'm full of love in a way I've never been before.. It's amazing, but god I'm so terrified. I was raised in a strict, religious home, I've always been good, and stayed in line.. I hate the thought of upsetting my family, but I want so badly to be free and to able to "break rules" with my boyfriend. My head's in one place, my heart's in another entirely.

[@enque2970]

Here's a tiny detail that it's so cool and totally not an animation error. 1:36 You can see that in Andy's perspective the window is open, leading to his open and careless personality. And on Chris's perspective the window is closed, representing his then closed and shy personality.

Man, this is absolutely stunning! Ironically (and Unironically if ya know me) I'm more impressed with the animation of the train itself. Most films just botch (mess up) most of the thing, but here there was a clear effort to actually make it look like a real rail vehicle. The animation of the characters are superb, certainly cleaner but still has a sketch vibe that compliments the situation. Although one nitpick, I find the body expressions to be a tad exaggerated, as if they were in a silent film. although it's not a bad thing.

This animation absorbed me from start to finish and made me feel like I was inside, the moment he decided to put his head out the window was very beautiful and made me think about what kind of things I could have missed by avoiding doing things I would not do. out of fear, not being used to it or something ... What a scare that poor bird got 0:09, although it must have felt better to fly over the fields at sunset 1:56: D (although it is not the same bird, I like to think that it is ❤️)

[@dungeonsfurries4814]

And this... the little details. The cramped scenes of emotion in such little time yet fit in to such a perfect way. None of it felt too fast or pushed forward. And that’s remarkable to see so many different emotions spread through the characters so fluidly in such a short amount of time. And the title placed with the moral of the story? It feels like you gave it an unfinished title only for the animation itself to complete it! I am so amazed at your talent! Please don’t ever stop this beautiful array of talent! All of this is the reason why I’m subscribed to you. And maybe to finish off the title with a few words. Are meant to be broken.
