the art style and use of color is STUNNING, i'm in awe

I tried interpreting these in my own way... It might be a little confusing... What I thought of this is that the old man kept collecting and reminiscing in his past.. Which is what the clocks represent .. When he found the child, he scowled at the sight of her clock.. The clock was not damaged and it worked... Which probably represented new ideas or moving on.. The child also represented the future of course ... Then when the car hit the glass, the man had to make a choice of leaving by himself or saving the child... He then dumped the clocks down into the water, which represented the letting go of his past.. Now he took the child.. He's taking on the future and decides to finally step out into the surface where a new journey with the child begins ...

+Sarah Micor That's what I love about these short films; there is always a reason, logic behind them. The fact that there is lack of context allows us to use imagination to add it and make sense of the story. I saw this as a consequent future if global warming is not stopped. I saw the clocks as what they are: time-keepers. If there is a tide that enevelops entire cities then time is essential. I respect your interpretation and see that you are an imaginative individual constantly searching for meaning.

This is what I think this story means is that the clocks mean that there's no time to be alone and the young girl shows that you should never spend time alone

background on point

Wonderful video and beautifully done. I can see so much symbolism and I would probably sound dumb to mention one. I did translate contretemps. It means a setback, out of time, an inopportune moment / time. One thing that automatically came to me was that the time she had was precious to her, and he thought her time (or she) wasn't worth having or worth his attention. He had plenty of time and she had a little time. Eventually, he gave up some of his time to help (or spend with) her.

It's not easy for artists, either. Believe me, figuring out how to make a concept that's amazing in your mind amazing in real life is hard for anyone. Imagination isn't something reserved for those deemed "artists". The only difference between them and the rest of us is that they've found a way to make their thoughts reality. No easy task!

what I would do is still draw out my ideas and draw arrows pointing out what things are and explaining in full details on how they should look like. Practice drawing and eventually you will get there. You never learn from wishing you can draw xD trust me I wish I could. Ive been drawing for years, its still difficult but I still put them down either way, draw them the next year and it looks better then the one before. Just keep up the cycle.

Moral of the story. Close the door when you are done exploring an area.

A watcher waits the ocean tide, To meet demand of clocks that lied. But beckon pause of a little girl, Who change his time and the world. And risk he did from ocean rise, To throw away, to save and wise. Another good member, was rescue this day, With childish clock, with childish ray.

So many people feel that there isn't a story here, but there is, while I suppose it is up to interpretation to a point but it's there. In a land that is submerged when the tide comes in, a line man passes the time by restoring the clocks he recovers when the tide is out. By his clothes and mannerisms I think he was probably some form of antiquarian before the flood. On his rounds he finds a toy store, the door sealed with ocean growth & a girl w/ a clock, seeing that the clock is a toy and the child's attachment to it (possibly a gift from a loved one considering she retrieves it multiple times?), he can't take it from her, but also doesn't want her impeding on him so he leaves. The tide comes in he sees a doll and he realizes that by breaking the seal on the door the toy store will now flood. Not being able to deal with letting the only other human he's found (presumably) he rushes to save her. They proceed to run from the impending water, eventually leading him to choose the girls life over his clocks. In the end she realizes what he's done and what he's given up, so she accompanies him and gives him the clock she at first couldn't let go.

That's a really neat looking Rapture

This is just so beautiful, beautiful colors and beautiful scenes. What I think the meaning is that ocean is just life;nature. The man there is living around there and each of those clocks mean his life. He is an adult that's why he has so many of them. When he goes to that room and founds the child, she is holding a small clock, her early time. He was living alone all the time and he ignores the small,new clock since it's just small and not his. The car probably means youth, probably his. He makes a change by helping the girl and when the place was beginning to crumble and being flooded, means that his current life is going down, is being changed. The car broke the glass because the girl, youth, broke it. They come afloat, meaning another life.

Valerie Stylinson To build on this... Contretemps means an unexpected event. I don't think the car is youth, but a physical embodiment of contretemps. What you said makes so much sense... he is going around and recovering memories that he's had. The giant clock is some memory he has that he had and is trying to fix but can't. And like you said, the girl only has one small one. But when the contretemps (car) comes and he dumps the clocks, that is him deciding to leave the past and to give them up so he can make room for her. Because life is full of contretemps, and you can't hold onto the past if you want to make a good future.

The future. The polar ice caps have melted, and the Earth lies beneath a watery grave. Those who survived have adapted to a new world. - Narrator, Waterworld (1995) Maybe we can rapidly evolve into water creatures. - Sid, Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) It is known that the world fell, and that most people in it died. The dead will not suffer the hardships of the terrible world which remains. Those born into this hell have no remembrance of anything else. Those who survived...Those who are the truly broken. For they know what was before. - Griffa, Mad Max (2015)

At the start I was like "I am sooooo going to find some hidden meaning from this" and then I was all "it's totally about dimensia or something, the clocks are his memories, he's trying to save them and the sea represents forgetting, and then at the end I was like "wtaf is going on"

They have some amazing animators in France. This has an amazing steampunk-ish atmosphere.

I'm a sucker for colors and the art in this short film delivered every bit of good color I could imagine, I'll enjoy discovering who the background artist is. And the concept was done so well, all together making this most enjoyable to watch. Great work, I'd love to see more from you guys

Stunningly beautiful art!!! Simply jaw dropping

Thank you with all my heart for this soulful creation. This was a catalyst for me to let go of my last speck of resentment I held for my daughter’s biological father. Please continue to create these beautiful stories that fill my soul with love and forgiveness. Peace and good health to everyone.

The colors, the design, the animation. It's all absolutely stunning. I'm a big fan of CGI and I hope to see more animations like this. Simple and yet so intricate.

Oh my gosh it's so beautiful I could cry!

Very moving like life itself.... Nothing will ever stand still and life is short however long we are to live. Like the oceans it us an ever changing treasures shared.

No, I DIDNT CRY! (cries in the background over art and the Amazing Story Line!)

Fantastique! LOVE and RESPECT from The Netherlands. I loved this movie. And it reminds me in a way of the philosophy of Henri Bergson (1859-1941), who wrote a lot about the concept of time...
