I really hope this film blows up for you, like in the best way possible! Every time I watch one of these shorts, I am astonished at how incredibly hard working, detail oriented, and passionate you are. You think of everything! You deserve everything! Can’t wait to see this film
seriously, he got me with that one too. im an artist constantly messing with new mediums and im finally trying my hand at crochet for a second time in my life and i have a slightly wonky base to a hat ive already restarted four times but i want to wear this hat forever. so now i am restarting the hat, cause whats a couple more hours when this hat will last me forever??
This is gonna be the best short film I’ll watch in my life and I can’t wait to see all of these beautiful small touches weave together. After watching all of these vids, if I don’t cry, I’ll know I have no soul
Wow... As someone who subbed not too long ago, I never realized that it’s taken you 2 years to do this. That is some serious dedication right there. Words cannot express how excited I am to see all of this hard work and dedication. We appreciate you and everything you do, and we will always be here for you. Keep going, no matter how tough it may seem. It will all pay off in the end.
SOOO worth it!! Your film (and the tv show inside the film!) was incredible! Your love, care and attention to detail SHINES through your work and truly draws the viewer into the world you made. The characters were easy to get attached to because of the details you put in. I got to know so much about the family dynamics and it was incredible!!!! A HUGE, HEARTFELT THANK YOU for sharing your art and passion so freely. ❤
I actually am so looking forward to the finished product. I LOVED stop motion as a kid and this is almost the next phase of that for me. The artistic creativity and passion for the project is so beyond anything else and for you to have kept it up for 2 years to create your masterpiece is truely it’s own work of art.
I don't know whether I'm happy that the film is coming out soon, or sad that these shorts with beautiful messages and behind the scenes will be over for this project!
The tiny photographs aren’t only better, they are also so adorable. Miniature, real photos that sit in a movie set made of just paper, and yet they can show so much! I love the idea! 😁
Yes! It's a difference process of capturing the moment in a phitogroah vs a drawing. I'm in art school and after switching from a photo major, i noticed that I approach storytelling differently. It's not like character building for writing but its own thing.
I'm a writer and we call this "hanging out with your story", where those details are things that still matter, but they might not hold a secret plot point or whatever. I cannot draw, so I've been using vroid studio, booth. pm for free assets and learning to 3D model. I take photograph's of my characters, make backgrounds just in a 3D space and it feels like it makes me understand these characters SO much more, when I'm throwing myself into their moments... moments of triumph, of loss... Speculating what looks right.
@@EeveelutionStorm I do something similar in Sims 4 (with huge amounts of custom content lol) - I make characters, their different outfits, and multiple variants of them based on where they are in life in my stories. I also build rooms, buildings as needed. I have a narrative game in the works as well, so I use the pictures I take of what I created as placeholder sprites and backgrounds!
@@Mldy96 Oh man I envy anyone who can build their story's world and characters in Sims! I tried it but it was so hard for me to figure out, I stuck to vroid studio. I found a program that lets me take great pictures with the models too.
You wanting to get to know your characters is amazing to me. I felt like I was the only one who felt this way but I guess I was wrong. I feel like the more I work with a character the more I know them almost as a person. I understand them better. It goes from “what do I think this character would say here?” while I’m working to a “LMAO THIS CHARACTER WOULD TOTALLY SAY THIS” when I’m just thinking randomly.
I LOVE everything about this. Those photos game out so great. Like photos of actual people. I agree the drawings did make them seem like caricatures. It made me think of TV shows where they never actually draw the background photos with any real detail and then you’re left with an impression of what you know should be there and it’s fine for that since the world isn’t real. Your world is real, tangible, and that can be felt every time I watch your shorts about Gruff. Those photos you took add to the world and story so profoundly, I feel like your characters are REAL, they are out there living their lives, and it’s amazing. I can’t wait to see what else you do and your work inspires me to do my own projects. Thank you!
I saw the difference when I watched the film - the depth of the shadows highlights your art form. It made the photos feel so real, the memories so alive. It's amazing
I just watched it today. And cried. The story and artistry. I found you from these BTS. But every glimpse into your creation makes me more and more impressed and in awe. You are AMAZING. The passion and attention to detail is incredible. 💖 my 3 year old wanted to watch it multiple times. Big fans here.
The major reason I am continuing to follow this project (besides the amazing use of paper and magnets) is the amount of detail you are using to make your world feel alive- all the extra work is absolutely worth it and i cant wait to watch it over and over again to find and admire those details. Gruff is gonna be amazing, no doubt about it. ❤❤❤
I imagine that once this short film is finished, published and recognize by the public, it could eventually evolve the ways on how IRL prop animations can be made, similar to how Spider verse evolved 3d cgi animations.
I love how even though some people wont care about details you still do them while having fun and making it feel more real at the same time Alright who are these npcs that out of nowhere decided to give me 300+ likes? Thanks tho.
the thing is, even if your conscious eye doesn't notices the details, your subconscious will. all those little details will trick your mind into thinking that its real.
@@abiean222That too. And the artistic (or just plain eagle-eyed) viewers _will_ notice them consciously. I also enjoy rewatching and catching the little foreshadowing details that I didn't know to pay attention to the first time. Every one I spot gives me even more appreciation for the creator.
I watched GRUFF a few days ago, I absolutely loved it! The main story was amazing! The paper people were unbelievable! It was just terrific! Keep going! ❤❤❤
While what you did was incredibly worth it, and amazing. I personally feel like the drawn "photos" could still work great for (slightly) further background shots and certain points they might not be in focus. Absolutely love watching the process, extremely inspirational
I literally can’t wait for this, knowing how much effort and attention to detail went in! This is such a cool skill of yours, being able to do stuff like this.
As a fellow artist, thats some great advice to give those who want their art to be better. Your channel in general is advice to those who want to start, you go through so much time and effort to make these videos and it shows that to get better, you need to practice.
That jet you made for her is actually insane. Reminds me a lot of NGAD and possibly an experimental aircraft like the X-47B. utterly beautiful, although simple.
This guy is one of those guys whose entire comment section should be full of colors from donations coming in in every currency and amount from all over the world ❤
It's funny, normally claymation/stop animation really freaks me out, but I'm excited to see your short film. The work and dedication and seeing the behind the scenes on your channel is really intriguing! Good luck, I'm looking forward to it.
Im not going to lie i loved the detail in the hand drawn ones they looked amazing especially the ballerina one in such a tiny frame it's just amazing its like an old picture in a frame you havent seen in a while whilst the new ones your doing are just as good but look more present day, still i lkve both ideas and the dedication you have to do this movie
Im making an animated series and this so such inspiration!! 😮❤like the years are worth your dedication and the quality! Im so excited and thank you for doing this😊
Over 2 years for a short film. I really hope the world appreciates it. I hope it doesn't turns into an underrated master piece. I hope it gets all the spot light. I hope you understand what I am trying to say...
As someone who deals with depth perception issues I love 💕 that you took the time to set up the scene, pose the characters, and take each picture. It brings everything to live. On screen it’s hard sometimes to tell if the image is flat or not. Your pictures here are Amazing. At first glance I can the two dimensional image you have created. ❤
I, along with all who’s watched this journey, are very proud of you for all of the work you’ve put into this project. We all know how much this project means to you, and it’s amazing how you while taking some shortcuts is fine, but you never seem to cut corners. I’m super excited to see how amazing the final product is!
Wow, 2 to over 2 years of dedication and hard work is a long time. I truly admire your patience and talent in your work, it looks amazing. And you still add so much detail even if someone people may not notice it at all, and you have fun doing it too. I hope one day I can create a project like this and have fun doing so just like you have. I look up to you and your sets, I hope many find your channel and look forward to your movie as I do.
I respect and love your art. I feel like we should put the same effort into getting to know the real people in the world and caring about their stories
This is absolutely stunning and it definitely adds an element of realism, if you can use the word realism when talking about paper puppets... Yeah, you absolutely can. I've only just stumbled on you and seen a few of your shorts so far, but to breathe LIFE into these "puppets". Stunning.
I wasn't sure how the photos would turn out, but you were right! They did look a lot nicer and look like it would fit into the world you're creating much better. Stellar work.
I absolutely appreciate the attention to detail in the final short. I plan on rewatching it a couple times just to admire all the detail. Such an amazing and heartwarming film.
Piece by piece, little by little. your videos show up on my feed and throughout my day and it’s remarkable how far you’ve come with your project. I first saw your channel short on Facebook as an introduction to your idea of 2D/3D paper animation characters and now you’ve taken your idea so much further. To hear you’ve been planning a movie with your characters makes me so joyful because your art is so full of life and the details you think of make it so much more lively; you’re absolutely wonderful and I love to see where you’ll go once your movie is produced 🎉 Happy 2024!!!
Every setting, every design, every frame, every detail and all the effort is simply a living work of art.

I feel as it adds depth to it really giving them a background as people
The photos are perfect and beautiful!
Every detail in this short film was AMAZING. I love how you took the time to make sure it was good quality, because it really paid off!
Trust me we appreciate your dedication to your craft. It’s going to be breathtaking
Gruff was amazing
Can 100% confirm your effort did NOT go unnoticed! Was really fin to look for all the details when rewatching it!
I gotta say, it would have been cool to see you keep one of the old drawn photos in the set, and it was actually a caricature.
It makes a huge difference! I’m an animation student and you’re such a huge inspiration
You take as long as you need for this movie, we're waiting patiently 🙏
This movie is going to be so good. You did one hell of a good job. The work put into this thing is ridiculous.
