Two - CalArts Fourth Year Film

[@gnoot50]

i like how the wire in the twins room is like a divider between them

[@averyengler7436]

as a twin, this def hit hard,,, like as much as we've argued in our lives, I don't know what I'd do without my brother. It a different kind of bond that you never really notice until they're gone

[@GeekyRaptorStudios]

I feel so bad for the child blue, she seemed genuinely irritated by her brother 'yellow' but only when it was far too late did she remember all the good times they've had together. The symbolic scissors cutting the 'cord' was perfect for conveying her infinitely too late attempt at apologizing. It's alot like life that way, I only saw my relationship improve with my brother significantly once he moved away from my family to live on his own and do college and a job in I.T. and stuff. So I sadly can relate to this video a whole darn lot.

[@GeekyRaptorStudios]

I will admit I didn't get along with him until he got his own life and no longer has any real time for me. I feel like such a heel watching this video. The feels man.

[@ellasmith4516]

My only brother is going off to the army, so this really hits home for me.

Watching this four years later still makes me sad 🥲

[@antoniaclaudino3053]

I feel the same about my sister. We are not that far, just 5 hours. But some days I think about quitting my job and moving on with her. And we have plans to live in different countries. I think I won't be able to live without her.

[@TraceyHolmes-j2l]

Here from IG, beautiful film in its true form!

[@victoriagebara8066]

I have a twin brother that is now in another country to study. I'm so proud of him, but I miss him so much in my life, it seems incomplete without him next to me

[@hadishibly1767]

This hits close to home , my brother left the country for education i see him for 3 days once year

[@bread4237]

The animation, color palette, and sound design are all phenomenal. I can't express how much I enjoyed watching this. I got chills when the umbilical cord was cut.

[@diecinuev945]

That's exactly how you feel when your twin moves out.

*Love* the choice not to use music until a crucial moment. It really sells the tone. Also love the use of different art styles!

I'm the yellow one and I miss my blue one, we still live together but we hardly interact, it's amazing how much I treasure and miss when he used to bother me

[@springbonnie2233]

Man I wish my twin made it when we were born.. I missed out on all the drama and fun times 😓

[@squidaroo2830]

1:35 I used to do this to my sister all the time XD, this is extremely relatable. Amazing short film!

[@LabraDoodleDraws]

As someone who has siblings their age and used to be close but arent anymore WOW THIS STINGS. Its amazing and incredable and I love it but its also really close to home, in all the right ways. I love this so much because it really convays what being a sibling can be like

[@soniclovergirl2680]

Me and my twin have been together for YEARS. Even now we're roomates in college. It's going to kill me when she leaves. Amazing animation!

[@FlamingSparrows]

See now this is me I have a twin sister who I've shared my room with and play games, do homework etc next to her almost every day, and we share things we see and talk about our day and people, and sometimes she's really annoying or mad at me. When one or both of us moves out, I don't know how I'm gonna cope not having a person by my side all day every day, especially after doing everything together for my entire life. This damn film made me think!!!!! ew!!!!! (seriously though, it's amazing, and I can relate, well done!!!!!!)

[@deamyouofficial]

Как вы любите своего брата, это очень душевно!

[@jasmin-px8yl]

Omg this is such a wonderful animation. The expressions , storyline character and all. I wonder how long it took

[@lindsayscanlan2681]

Thank you! From start to finish, it took about a year.

[@jasmin-px8yl]

[@ellaandersen926]

I'm about to leave homesoon, and i thought this would just be a fun animation about sibling rivalry but now im crying

[@brilliantdodo4713]

As a twin who is about to move away from her sis, this hits close to home :,) Beautiful animation though! It was an incredibly sweet little story, and you really did a good job communicating how they felt without adding dialogue! Great work!

[@djfoxziy6452]

How is it now?

[@rocknbagel8662]

The few seconds where they were laughing together make me cry. It was specific memories of laughing with my brother when we were children that flooded into my brain.

[@randomdots7758]

This is AMAZING!

[@pajamaramayt]

I watch this animation so often now that my older sister went to college. It just hits so close to home. In the part where the brother was loudly chewing on his food, his sister's gut annoyed, so he moved closer and made me laugh out loud. I remember when I was young, I sat next to my sister on a bench, but when she noticed she got up and moved to the other side of the room. We just love annoying each other and this short film just captured siblinghood so perfectly.

[@user-om2se6sl7l]

1:25 my sister and I 🥲

[@Lightningnova669]

Crying my lungs out, between me and my little sister we have almost 11 years apart, she is my little sun, eventually i had to move out of the country earlier this year to live for me. And this, that was a kick in the guts, 10/10 hyper crying and i hope she will never have that nightmare, and this bond will forever last.

[@AymenZero]

the siblings relationship is always a love-hate relationship. it's never just love.

[@JayJay-nv2fs]

Being with people you lived your whole life with, only to suddenly not one day. . .is hard. It's scary and new to just not see them anymore when you wake up, when you eat breakfast, or when you just call to them from the other room. But I guess that's just life sometimes.

[@-thecreepypasta_kid]

Poor girl she now realize what it is like to have a sibling

[@atinysoftbean1645]

Beautiful! I must admit, up until the end, I thought this was gonna end with a reveal that the yellow twin was a stillborn, and that blue's been trying to cope with that all her life by imagining that having a sibling would've been annoying, until one day she can't keep that facade up anymore and is forced to confront the pain of all the good things that also never were. Very glad it had a happier ending than my dramatic ass thought it would. ^^"

[@lindsayscanlan2681]

Oh man that would have made for a very different film for sure!

[@lindsayscanlan2681]

@@smiel__ a very neat observation! I actually made it deliberately very vague as to if he answered or not. Originally I was planning to record a phone call between me and my brother but I was worried it would not sound candid enough so I went with the ever so vague dial tone instead. 😀

this is sooo art-like :>

[@intrestingthings1002]

this situation is happening atm. when my sister left i was glad honestly, but i miss her. and ive had to lvie with knowing that

[@AegbGo]

This is how complex a sibling relationship is, you can fight each other always, and keep getting "annoyed" of each other, but when one of them gets away, you start to realize how much you miss and care about them, I love everything about this

[@weirdandwackystuff5064]

Everything makes me sad. BUT THIS...

[@kirbyprincess7125]

I particularly love that in their room there is a plug on the same wall that houses the lamp- but purposefully the cord is pulled forward in order to separate the two halves of the room. This shows not only something siblings definitely would do, but also shows their separation throughout life in how they feel emotionally. I love the small details.

[@flutts7319]

I love it! This reminds me of my twin brother and I!!! Just to prove how much twins argue and fight, tho they still love each other and wouldn’t want to leave each other.

[@biscuitygudness]

wow, this is so beautiful! the scene where blue was desperately trying to get to the end of the umbilical cord to reunite with yellow was so brilliantly executed... i love this

[@jeraldjoyce2995]

This video encapsulates perfectly what it's like to have siblings. As a kid you remember the teasing. But what sticks are the small things. An M&M golfball. Magic the gathering. Old CDs. Though incredibly specific to me, it is important to remember these small things are a sign that they cared about you and loved you. Whether they directly said it or not.

Found this on my recommended!! I am loving this so much and I love your art style. Amazing work!! ❤️❤️ I am aspiring animator myself and first year graphic design student. I wanted to create an animated short too for my thesis but I am still learning about animation. (Still quite a beginner 😢) Can you tell me what software are you using to create this? That would be great because I am having a hard time to pick the software I need. I am going for frame-by-frame animation too because it suits my vision. I would be very happy if you see this and answer. Thank you so much!

[@joshuahancock2079]

Dude, why you gotta hurt me in this way? As an identical twin who recently had to process the pains of sibling separation, this was rough. But it was very relatable to some of the things that I felt.

I remember having alot of trouble wit getting along wit my twin sister when we were young. But as we got older we've been getting along just fine. And now I just wanna spend alot of time wit my twin sister. I was like fuck this hits pretty close huh. And it's crazy cuz I'm trying to be more independent and so It really hit home

I have a twin, and Imma sob when we part ways when we get older. Its hard being a twin, sharing everything, sharing a room, being together 24/7, and then boom. Becoming a teen, and then becoming an adult. And you're separated. Even if my twin is annoying as hell sometimes, I wouldn't ever give him up to not be a twin. Even though they are very very stupid and dumb and only talks about stuff Im not interested in. I wouldn't give them up for the world. That's probably how they feel about me too though xD Im annoying too, we are twins afterall.
