    On the board is a buddha quote. I actually sat down with my aunt and we deciphered it.
    "What we are today comes from our thoughts of yesterday and our present thoughts build our life of tomorrow."
    We had to get a screenshot and zoom in on most of it, but it was fun!

    The Maker is hands-down the best short I've seen in a while. It's a story with a million words, despite none of the characters speaking. I wish I could put into words how much I love this short, but I guess a comment will have to do. You guys are amazing!

    First time I've seen 'The Maker' in 2011, more than 10 years ago... Since then, lots of different animations were watched but 'The Maker' is still the best and my favourite. I've watched it so many times and even tried to create the Maker's toy copie.
    Thanks for such a wonderful project, that's really impressive.

    Now that we know that it's an actual language... Does anyone want to work on translating the book? It seems like a shame to let all that work go to waste, but my eyes keep mixing sections up.

    "The Maker" was amazing, to say the least. And it did. It said the most with no dialogue and was probably better for it. The designs for the creatures was unbelievable as well. Such work, dedication, and passion for a project is very gratifying to see. Please keep it up!

    "The maker"is the most inspiring thing i've ever seen! I'd love to see a whole movie coming, but i know, just because it's working as a short film, it doesn't mean it's working as a movie. Anyway, i love 'the maker' and i'll keep on waching it when i'm uninspired^^

I make mine in polymer clay and soft cloth ( vintage fabrics) and trims with some antique accoutrements. Thank you for bringing these wonderful creatures to life.

    I loved the original animation and the 'Behind the Scenes', I also love that it was a wonderful collaboration of different artists, something that isn't seen often enough. Looking down the comments, it is a compliment to your creativity and skill that for once, on You Tube, so many people have so many good things to say. I think the person who wrote; 'I cried when the rabbit disappeared' truly shows you how in a few short minutes a group of great artists can confer the whole 'sweet sadness' of the nature of life and love. Long may you continue. All the very best, Pavlovafowl aka Sue
