I think it is really good that you can get the message across with almost no words to it.

Good job, it was really cool!
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.

Thanks! Hey, I see that you're into acting. That's my background. I worked for years as an actor and director, mainly in the theatre. This experience really helped me a lot when I became an animator.

That is absolutely fantastic! Well done on the models, textures and use of shots! I found that the last scenes in particular were very powerful and striking and a good way to end the video. :dance: Wow that was really, really good!

I saw this elsewhere, but I'll use CAA to tell you that I was impressed. The animation is very high quality for the internet and it was an effective production overall.

Hey, sorry I didn't ask this before...what was it about the last scenes that you found so effective? (this kind of info really helps me as an animator and story teller) :)

Yes, it is for the glory of God, but...you'll never know unless you watch the animation. ;) Let me know what you think.

I went ahead and moved this to the links section where I think it fits better! Continue with conversation!
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Really cool animation; one of the things I noticed at the start which I really liked was the way you had them moving all the time, even if it was just slight. Because in real life we move constantly, even if it's just our chests moving as we breathe.
Very cool metaphor etc. One thing I hope you don't mind me suggesting... I guess this is just a personal opinion... but while I like the way you brought in the shining, flying figure (metaphoric for our Lord, I'm guessing :) ), I think maybe if you made him more bright rather than red, but with the same fiery atmosphere around him, it could look cool. It might also set him apart in appearance from the other characters who become like him in appearance. Unless you did the same for them... but anyway.

Very cool, and I think I know what Creatureart meant about the last scene; the way they went out into space as lights... it was nice. Love the whole concept with the roots and the fist-shakes from those who stay bound too. :P Very cool.

Thank you so much for the excellent, detailed feedback. (This is such a great forum because people are so artistic.) Concerning the color of "Jesus": Actually, He is supposed to be purple (the color of royalty), but some computer monitors may not present the color accurately.

PS: And if you haven't yet, please take a few seconds to vote and leave a review. I would really appreciate it. :)
