Tindra´s Light - Tindra set fyr (Norwegian, English subs) Animated Short - (4K)

[@megansellars]

I’m learning Norwegian and I got told that watching cartoons in Norwegian would help so here I am

[@truecuckoo]

Oo, nice! The dialect they're speaking in this short is from the west coast of Norway, around the city Ålesund.

[@nerdymiumiu]

@@truecuckoo I’m currently teaching myself A1 level right now and I was able to pick up that this wasn’t normal Oslo dialect because some words they said were being pronounced differently. it’s a beautiful dialect (in my opinion) compared to Oslo haha

[@truecuckoo]

@@nerdymiumiu cool. Yeah this is Sunnmørs dialect. Variations of dialects spoken in the Sunnmøre county. The fjord and coastal regions surrounding Ålesund.

[@marclikespigeons8240]

Norwegian is such a beautiful language...

[@flippern3585]

Takk

[@jackfuller1892]

love this! I was always moved by your music and u can tell it moves in the same way.

[@truecuckoo]

❤️

[@lucasdeer]

Oh cuckoo, this is beautiful! Me and my girlfriend just watched it and we're both soaked into the little world you created there. It was dramatic, scary but also so lovely at the same time. Thank you for this wonderful piece of art!

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you so much for your kind words! Will keep them words close

[@paultorbert6929]

oh my goodness.... ! the finished version is amazing !!!! you are a "one man" Ghibli Studios !!!! nice backstory on your career.... the "window into your life" is refreshing, and inspiring !

[@bricelory9534]

What a beautiful piece! A great accomplishment - it's a really touching story, gorgeous music, and lovely visuals. Wonderful art!

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you so incredibly much Brice 🙏🏼❤️

[@jshu-yx3zy]

Such a heartwarming story, and beautiful music! 10/10

[@48king24]

Great colors, even on you tube! Wonderful score as well. Really enjoyed this.

[@musicofforester]

Wow! This is amazing. As an animator, I totally understand how much work went into this. Its absolutely amazing that you did this all yourself

[@rorylee9626]

That was luscious. So many emotions. The beautiful scenery and the unbelievably entrancing music just makes it so Immersive I love it.

[@TundrahSounds]

Multitalented! I imagine Cuckoo is a quite the hero for so many people doing synth, music and/or other creative stuff on KZbin. Being a teacher in art and music, I find your channel to be super inspiring!

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you so much again Tundrah!

[@yoemichelp_yoe]

very moving and inspiring. I love the simplicity and depth of your watercolor scenes. Lovely ambiance. Thank you for sharing this with us. The music is superb. As someone would say, this one is unique and haunting without being overworked, and it is for sure part of the whole cast along with your characters.

[@chrisfreeq399]

This was dope! You created a very captivating mood. As my former swedish roomie used to say, it's hur bra som helst! 😁🙏

[@truecuckoo]

Sometimes Swedish is needed ❤️😭🙏🏼

[@LovenArtiste]

🤔 Is this a particular dialect of Norsk? I don’t recognise things I thought I would. Amazing btw.

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks! Yeah this is a dialect from Sunnmøre. Close to the city Ålesund. Coastal dialect.

[@arceadecaio]

Wow, this is awesome and very emotional, cuckoo! The backgrounds and the music are breathtaking!

[@marclikespigeons8240]

Caio Gouveia I agree so much

[@truecuckoo]

Oh, thank you so much Caio! It's the fruit of so much work. I'm happy to share it with my followers on this channel, even if it's a bit outside of the synth world. :)

[@Bottomdweller]

I've been waiting for this ever since I first watched the video of you painting that lighthouse. Wonderful job, cuckoo. You've got to be proud!

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you, friend!

[@X3Naudio]

Stunning, just stunning. To have done one aspect of the film (e.g. only the music) would have been worthy, but to have completed the whole project alone from beginning to end? Simply incredible. I cannot bow low enough in a feeble offer of my respect for your achievements :)

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you so incredibly much for your warm comment. It was such a sick amount of work, to plough through all of this and keep the same quality through the end. ❤️❤️

[@bboyeducator]

I truly love everything about this. I didn’t realize that all I had to do was turn on the subtitles the first time I watched it. This is a beautiful work of art

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you so much, Joseph!

[@bboyeducator]

cuckoomusic I want a Shirt with art from this!

[@zblofu]

This is fantastic! The art, music and theme are all wonderful.

[@waa_baa_kee]

This is magical. I'm only just now seeing this after you shared some paints on your Instagram story. It truly deserves so many more views than what it has! You're very talented, Cuckoo! Thanks for all of the education and entertainment you provide to the community.

[@PaulLeBlanc4u]

repost from the storyboard comparison video: Beautifully done Mr. C. - it is interesting to note that i think ALL of my musician friends are also visual artists, myself included. The backgrounds were particularly beautiful and an obvious labor of love, and the perspective framing at times was superb. And of course the story itself was completely sweet and endearing. Nicely done, and I appreciate all the hard work, alone no less, you put into it. Great job.

[@GreyFromSpace]

Jeg gråter hver gang. My boyfriend lives in Norway so I wanted to learn the language myself. He told me that watching cartoons and movies in Norwegian with English subs was the best way to help learn how things are said and to get used to how the language sounds when people speak to each other.

[@scheissami]

Wow, stunning work! I mostly watch your tutorials, so I thought I’d be pretty heavy on the synth stuff. The music was gorgeous and unobtrusive, perfectly matched with the scenes. Really killer.

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you so much! Really appreciate it ❤️

[@onlinescammer8291]

just wanted to give another shout-out to that amazing background work!

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks❤️

[@StefanWolfrum]

Wow, what a piece of work, Andreas! So beautiful! Congrats that you stuck to this work and finished it! I just translated the subtitles into German and submitted them. Least I can do to say thank you and give something back for all the cool stuff you've given us for so long now! 😃

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks a lot Stefan! Much appreciated 🙏🏼

[@boedye]

This was delightful. Reminded me of The Secret of Kells! I loved how each frame was like a painting -- the colors were absolutely stunning!

[@anthonmecham5390]

This is so beautiful. I don't get how it doesn't have more views.

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks so much 🙏🏼 Show your friends ❤️

[@williammindreaders1029]

Super dope Andreas i shared it few times... very impressed and enjoy this ;)

[@truecuckoo]

Oh thank you so much Williams!

[@adamjudy2766]

been looking forward to seeing this since you mentioned it. awesome! thanks for sharing!

[@visualwarp9707]

Amazing! I only ever dreamt of creating something like this. I don’t know how you did it. This deserves 50 million views.

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you so much. It was tough work making all of this back in 2015 - 2016. Super tough work. We wanted to employ a little team for it, but didn't get enough funding for it. So I decided to do it on my own anyways. 50 million views. Yeah.. bring it on ❤️

[@discophone_6214]

Just umbelievable how beautifull story, amazing drawing and animation. I love all the details like changing the camera angle and forexamle when sea washes the shrimp from the beach to the sea. And oh YES that soundtrack fits so well in this movie! WELL DONE MY FRIEND. I can just imagine how much work this has taken.

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you so much, friend! I'm so happy to be able to share this with the world now. I always thought I'd give festivals exclusive access for 2 years, and then release it for free. Makes me really glad to hear that you appreciate the details, and the story alike. There's a massive amount of work that went into this, for sure. ❤️

[@dimllc]

Amazing film, beautiful story!

[@JoseFernandes-bp6rc]

Amazing! Fantastic drawings and superb music!

[@kristanzalog7503]

[@Strages_Powers]

It turned out beautifully, awesome art work and the continuum I think sounded perfect for it.

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you so much! The whole purpose of me buying a Continuum Fingerboard was to score this film. I'm really happy it worked out so well.

[@aaronthecatten]

This is amazing! I'm surprised I've never seen this before. Absolutely inspiring

Thank you so much Dean! I'll keep your comment close to heart.

[@fimbulthulr]

This is an absolute gem! Could you do this more, with nynorsk subtitles!?

[@braesmusic]

Great work sir. Would you mind telling us what instruments you used for the music?

[@truecuckoo]

Thanks a lot ❤️ Yeah sure. The music is made almost exclusively with an instrument called the Continuum Fingerboard. It’s super expressive, and a lot of the sounds are very acoustic like in their nature. I specifically purchased the Continuum to make this soundtrack.

[@braesmusic]

Nice. Thank you. I hope you find the time and energy to do more animation at some point.

[@gbarkas]

You are a true master, Kosta. Keep it up!

[@___xyz___]

The voice acting in this is really good by international standards.

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you sooo much! The kids were great. We had a very nice recording session.

[@soehngenetic]

Now it's confirmed that your day has more than 24 hours! ;) Unbelievable cool and great work! Congratulation! I really hope this will get the attention it deserves.

That blond boy made all the trouble lol But seriously the music and the animation are so great I hope KZbin can promote these type of stuff more. Lowkey envy of your talent and creativity though. Anyways thanks for making this.

Beautiful short film! Seeing as you’re of Greek heritage, I’ll post some Greek captions this weekend. Ευχαριστώ, Αντρέα!

Beautiful. Some of the scenes are so lovely to look at, like a pastel coloured Ghibli film. A very nice story and message too, sometimes the things we fear only exist in our imagination. Good job Cuckoo 👍

Wow. Really... wow. I have been looking forward to you posting this. Any chance of getting English subtitles?

Cuckoo... it's only natural that you design and develop a video game next, using music and animation - perhaps some sort of 2d hybrid of hand drawn sprites w/ watercolor backgrounds... mega props! You're a super talent!

[@robinwood3831]

This is wonderful! Will you be doing more projects like this in the future?

[@truecuckoo]

I have a lot of ideas in my head. But knowing how much work it takes to pull it off, I'm not sure.. I'm just not sure. I want to, but it would require to focus on that for a few years, and do only that. I'm not sure I have the drive to pull off a feature film production. It's sort of comforting to know that Miyazaki Hayao made his most significant work after the age of 40 though.

[@robinwood3831]

@@truecuckoo Yeah that makes sense. Either way this short film you made here is very inspiring to me, I'm going to spend some time learning how to do character animations in Blender to hopefully get some of my ideas out there. It seems like the least time consuming method, I always have 3 or 4 projects I want to work on at a time. Anways, thanks for sharing!

[@marclikespigeons8240]

So ghibli! Love it. Maybe the close up carachter style is a bit weird but this is something to pursue more of if it’s this good anyway

[@CensoredStudios]

Beautiful work

[@ThomasMYoutube]

You should sell prints of the backgrounds; so ambient and pretty to look at...

[@truecuckoo]

Thank you so much! During the premiere, I'd actually framed the originals in a little exhibition, and sold most of the ones that I framed. It often feels a little bit empty without the people though.
