Vending Machine

In loving memory of Bendor
When an alligator named Chris, burdened by social-anxiety, finds his favorite coffee-shop's vending machine to mysteriously be out of order, he's met with the task of facing his fears and heading inside. There he meets the baristas Alfie and Andy, the latter being particularly friendly toward Chris.
So I've been working on this project for quite a while, it's always been one of my biggest dreams to make my own animated short film, and despite not being able to become an animation student I still wanted to cross that ambition off my bucket list.
And here we are, i'm incredibly proud of the final result, there's been many hurdles along the way as well as the times where i wanted to give up, but i pushed on trough and finished the whole thing.
So i really, really hope you enjoy~
Check out the soundtrack here! / vending-machine-ost

[@oceanbytez847]

@@TheCart54321 Idk what bar tender you met but all of the ones i know drink more than the customers. Why? Its part of the job. You have to be especially skilled to mix a good flavored drink. If a bar doesn't have quality drinks that set it apart then it isn't competitive. I am strictly talking about quality bars. The kind of bar with a unique positive atmosphere, great decorations, and sometimes great food. Not the party bars (their draw is the life of the party mindset) or the grunge backstreet bars where alcoholics go regularly to drown their sorrows. These two bar categories just serve your common beers and shots. Bars i visit make custom mix drinks daily because they have no fixed menu. Every order is custom although there are a few local favorites like the lemon drop, rum punch, and liquid marijuana (its not actually marijuana. It just has the color from 4 different liquors and pineapple juice mixing).

You know, I've had Vending Machine sitting in my bookmarks bar for months, waiting to be watched. One thing or another distracted me from it. Finally, tonight, I sat down and watched it undisturbed. I wish I had watched this when I first ran across it. I can think of a laundry list of adjectives to describe it. Wholesome. Calming. Colorful. Engaging. Charming. Adorable. The list goes on. Most of all, it's well done. The soundtrack isn't overpowering. The voice acting is fitting to the scene and characters. The animation is clean. The plot is upbeat and fun to follow.

This is the first time he and I got to really talk about our future and such, and I really can't thank you enough for this sweet treat of a video.

[@Crockist]

I have a lot to say about what I just saw. Short, sweet, and to the point. Main conflict isn't overbearing, it's just a feel-good film that warms you up inside, and I really like that aspect. It was really interesting to see how Chris walks in with all this anxiety, only to see it be mirrored by Andy after meticulously blending the perfect hot chocolate. It never sank in just how Andy felt for Chris until it was spelled out in the end, and it was funny to see how the comic relief character set that all up. I really liked the writing and how the fist-clenching motif stood alone as the only "deep" symbol. Probably my favorite part about this is how your drawing style goes into the subject matter. I've tried/done animation, and i can tell from the lineart that most framed were hand-drawn. The fact that you put that much passion project-level work into a film featuring someone putting so much effort into something that simply warms up someone's evening. The music has a very personal feeling to it, too. This all just feels so good and wholesome. There's also just that emphasis on the human element in what feels like a hopelessly avoidant culture. I'm finding it harder and harder to make friends, and I really felt this during the few months that I lived in the city. To have opportunities to make friends, bond, and converse with people while buying products from non-automated sources really does help fill the social void I feel in my day-to-day life in a surprisingly covert way. I really appreciated how this made me feel today, I really needed this. Thank you.

And people say there's no more good content on youtube This was such a nice watch thank you for the incredible little short It truly was a gem to watch ^w^

[@Swampert384]

Chris is too cute, and so is Andy. I hope in the next story after Rules they can become closer

[@karmathegolden]

this is so wholesome it makes me cry... i wish that would be me next time

[@maiththebirdman8810]

People need to stop making "they spelt his name right" jokes, and appreciate the cute gayness of the animation, like come one, it's adorable.

[@owennewo14]

Why not both?

[@felicitous_felix]

I'm sure those people who commented that enjoyed the video too, they wouldn't have watched that far otherwise.

Good point, I just saw about 100 people make the joke and thought people need to stop.

Words can't describe how great this animation is, by how good it was i barely held back the tears by how gorgerous the ambience and the animation was. It's surprising that this animation is 4 years old, because this is a master piece

[@JhoTerra]

I revisit this video every other week at the latest. Please know that every last detail in the environment, about the plot, and on the character’s expressions, every single thing moves me to a smile. And as others have said, Andy’s moves make me scream oh my gooood!

There is one small bit of your animation that stood out to me more than anything else. You animated the filament falling loose after the light went out. I... I just.... that's a level of detail that's rare.
