Unbelievably happy that I got to be a part of this, an incredible, incredible film.
Thanks youtube for actually recommending something cool to me. This is a masterpiece! Glad to be part of the “before 1000” club for a video that’s going to get waaaaaayyyy more views than that.
This is pretty good. I lowkey feel like this video is gonna get one of those surges of attention from the algorithm. Not right now, but maybe in a few weeks or months this video is gonna have thousands of views out of nowhere.
This is absolutely stunning... I'm in complete awe
This is so fricking gorgeous!!! Amazing job liz :D
Just fantastic Liz.
Giving my some great David Firth art style vibes from his sock series!
LIZ THIS IS FANTASTIC... HOLY MOLY!
A little bit disturbing but still so beautiful. So glad I found it.
Really cool! The beginning was so tense! I love the textured background art!
I LOVE this, it's so creepy and cool. I'm surprised it doesn't have more views!
Gorgeous!
WOAH! This deserves so much more attention. The style is so cool and I absolutely adore the sound direction. I can't wait to see more works from you in the future
I really enjoyed your work. It reminded me of some of the darker fairy tales from my childhood that had a moral subtext or at least made me question how they made me feel. Additionally, I appreciated the use of the "eyes" which correlates with butterfly wings. The music played a significant role in setting the overall mood and tone of the piece. Overall, it was nicely done.
Thankyou! The eyes and the soundtrack were some of the key parts for me too, the eyes were inspired by artist Hannah Höch's dadaist collages!
Amazing work! Happy to see this on CZcams!
Really cool artstyle
Well, that was a dark and sinister journey! It is beautiful and disturbing at the same time. I Ioved the suspense and the soundtrack as much as the artwork and animation. Great work, Lizzie.❤
This is SO SO gorgeous! As an invertebrate biologist and horror enthusiast I ADORE this short film. It's so incredibly surreal and beautiful and horrifying at the same time. As someone who has pinned insects before as part of my required class, it truly does feel awful in a way this encapsulates so well. SO beautifully done!
Oh wow, thanks!
Very cool! Amazing design and vibes 🦋
I feel like I just watched an entire horror movie in 5 minutes and LOVED it. The atmosphere was so deliciously tense, the soundtrack just made me feel on edge the whole time... And the payoff is so perfect for that feeling. Like it doesn't reveal any more than it needs to, that to me is the absolute BEST kind of horror
Thankyou! I'm so glad the payoff worked, especially because Daniel's soundtrack brought that feeling of suspense to life.
Can't wait for this video to be picked up by the algorythim in like 5 years
This is so stylistic and creative, I love it!!! The eyes especially are so cool! Also revenge of the mothman fantastic!
Sees the word lepidoptera. Goes insane
I feel honored to have been recommended this film, and at such an early point. Stunning artwork and animation. I love this creative style, very uncanny the whole way through.
this is beuatiful.
Boy that was BEAUTIFUL. Keep up with the amazing work! It was satisfactory and creepy at the same time when the man got skewered out of a sudden, and that just makes me love this film even more
Thankyou!
Absolutely incredible work, you should be very proud of all you've achieved
holy hell this is amazing- i dont have anything to add i just hope more people see this in the future wiejfnkf
