I feel sorry for your loss. My dad died too 6 days ago because of asthma. I can say, this short animation is timely. With this paper animation style, you deserve a big audience. Can't wait to see it 😁

My 10 year old son, Jett, stumbled across your channel tonight after I had gone to bed very early. He LOVES your channel! I’ve just watched your trailer and a bunch of other snippets and we’re both excited to watch more. We don’t have much money… (Like… I’m using my credit card!) And in the same breath, we both feel compelled to help you bring this wonderful project alive! Thank you for sharing it with us!

My father died last year, and i miss him. But thats a reason to keep fighting for me, if you experience loss, "don't cry because it's gone, smile because it happened." And one more of my own, take loss as a way to gain, to learn more, and to be inspired by the good and great that they have done in their time of life.

I dont know why this is so underrated but I wish your dream comes true and I'm looking forward to seeing this short ♡

Very true

My dad is not a good one and sometimes I wonder what life would be without him. But then from time to time, he tries his best and I have no choice but to forgive him for those sweet actions. He's like a crappy but essential cogwheel in the machine that is my home, and people like you help me realize that. It's not much but it's from my heart. Can't wait to see your works go real popular someday mate 🪄 Good wishes from Vietnam 🇻🇳

Hello, I'm also from Vietnam!

Dude, even nearly a year later, I would love to see this when it is finished because I believe in your skill to make this all work, with how you show each character's emotion, how they act and portray their feelings and more. ❤

I’ve always been so in love with animation like this. Claymation, hand drawn, now your beautiful paper style. This is the kind of thing that deserves to be in a movie theater. I am very excited to see your film finished!

i love these kinds of animations. they bring a sort of life and fluidity that you can’t always capture through digital art. they balance out the styles and variations of art in a pleasing way. i hope this project works out for you and r.i.p to your dad, im sure he was a good man 🕊️🕊️🕊️. sending lots of love ❤️❤️❤️

I have fallen down a RABBITHOLE of your youtube shorts. This is so creative, and so cool, and honestly super inspiring! I mean, animating all this on your own seems so difficult! I’m impressed, and you should be more than proud of this beautiful idea and work!

I discovered you through your shorts, and I have to say as someone who has also lost their father, I 100% understand your need to do this. Many of us do, and we support you 100%. I can’t wait to see the final product

im an artist that's heavily interested in animation and this feels so refreshing. this is so unique and clever. i've watched all of your yt shorts, this is incredible to see the process and to know about how you solve the problems you're facing. i hope to see your short film and hope you'll get recognition. you truly deserve it. wish you luck!

What a mind! The things we can create from the depths of our souls. Your craft is beautiful. Im grateful that you get to share this with all of us. You’re immensely talented.

Can’t wait to see it, I know it’s hard work, and sorry for your loss. (Gruff looks like a beautiful movie to watch)

I know it looks like a great short film

I’m so glad i stumbled upon your shorts and was able to follow you in this journey although belatedly

Dang. This gives so much hope for a new medium for animation. Imagine a movie with this style tho! It would be like a new stop motion but it's not really "stop" motion. But it's not typical digital animatoon either. Need to keep boosting this project.

Wow, Just… Wow. I found you on instagram while creating that lady’s face. It was cool watching one man who was patiently crafting this project alone. I’ve never seen anyone who was as successful as you 😄❤️

I am so sorry about your loss. The patience and precision this takes truly shocks me! Good luck on the making of Gruff :)

Dear sir, I am almost 70 years old. Your deeply personal journey is and has been mine for a very long time. I am so proud of you for working so hard and not depending depending on computer generated images. I can tell you your father is and was, even if he never let you know, so very proud of you. Parents from my fathers generation didn't always know how to express their love without losing their masculinity and toughness as head of the family. Thank you for loving him anyway. I promise you he loved you.

I will be waiting here the time it needs to be waited. I've never been more excited for a film… ever! So proud, keep going!

I'm sorry and yet touched by your power that made this animation why it's existence behind it. I'm also very impressed that your animation is more of a lost art many animation of today has discontinued. Having watched some shorts, intro and behind the scenes of how the Paper, models, construction and raw foundation its built upon is more than respect I can say; one of a kind. I hope you succeed and find fulfillment in your dream and cause.

“I want to show how I wished I loved him while he was here” Very relatable. I know exactly what you’re feeling. Im sorry for your loss and hope and pray you can show that kind of love to him personally again one day.

Turning grief into art is a wonderful gift, for you I’m sure, but for everyone it touches as well

I don't have any spare money to give right now, but I'm so excited for this and I hope engagement on the posts help my grandmother, who raised me as if she was my mother since my own was absent, died a few months ago. she showed love mainly through material things, which left me feeling a bit odd since my love language was different from hers. I highly relate to the feeling of wishing I loved her more while she was here. I feel like once this comes out I'm gonna cry my eyes out

I understand your pain, just like many others here. The sadness of not being able to rewind time and show some love to the people you’ve lost really sits with me, especially since my dad passed from a heart attack in his bedroom, alone. I hope this project comes out well, and although I may not have a dime to my name, you have my fullest support. Love the art, can’t wait.

I so sorry for your loss, it must be hard to get through that😞 But I think your dad would be proud of what you have accomplished, I wish he could see this masterpiece you have made.

i have never seen a medium like this before, you're helping to push the boundaries of what animation can look like and i love it!! this is so cool i want to make my own paper puppets

The characters designs by itself make me fall in love with thr characters

I love how people work so hard even tho it lasts only for a few minutes like gruff It's so amazing that you made all of this.Truly so amazing you worked so hard to make this for the world and also I'm very sorry for your loss

So sorry for your loss💔 May he Rest in Peace, God be with him, you and all your families,friends and loved ones❤ this is such a beautiful tribute to your dad❤ hope you find peace and closure❤

I've been seeing your shorts, and I can't wait to see your hard work be projected on screen. Your story already seems very well put together and thought out. Keep going ♡

I’m sorry for your loss tbh, this seems like an amazing short film worthy of an award. Good job bro

I’m sorry for your loss. I feel like your dad would have been so proud to see all that you’re accomplishing. Your skill and persistence is truly admirable.

I’m so sorry for your loss. but just imagine how proud your father is, he loves you so much and still does. i know you’ve made him so proud and he’s always watching you and your achievements from heaven ❤

Oh my god??? This is PHENOMENAL. i love rhe... Idea of it,,, as someone whos dad doesn't outwardly show love i feel like this film could teach me and others while providing a beautiful and amazing film to watch... I am genuinely so ezcited for this.‼️‼️ I cant believe youre doing it all on your own. I wish you well ❤️ we need more skilled artists like you

So sorry to hear about loosing your dad man. You are truly a creative genius.

I just lost my dad not even a week ago. As I don’t have any regrets really, his death was totally unexpected. I’m still sitting in the grief and unreal feeling of it all. Looking forward to this film and I pray you find peace and comfort through your difficult times❤️

this kind of animation is amazing and you can tell the love thats been put into this, i hope its finished someday so i can share it and enjoy it!!!

I just found your channel and I’m obsessed!!! You’re so talented!!!😊😊❤❤❤ Sorry for your loss. Ik what that’s like❤

What Beautiful Way to pay tribute to your dad. And wherever he is I am sure he’s excited!

I wont care how long or how short Gruff will be. Its the time and dedication from one person making a true masterpiece that I will enjoy! Hope you have Fun making it, and I hope to see it finished!

Sorry men.. I love your work and many of us here, take the time necessary to create this masterpiece full of love ❤️ .

Your paper animation is stunning. I cant even fathom the amount of talent it takes to make something like this. If i could, id donate as much as it takes for this to happen. But uh- well im under 18 and cant make that choice and also broke so- we’ll see how that goes. Still, amazing work. I hope we get to see the finished product!

My Dad died this year in March of heart disease (he had a heart attack in the night after a party). He was only 62 and we had no idea he was that sick💔 so it was a sudden and awful shock to us all. I miss him every day. I loved him so much. He was a really great funny loving family man. Talented too (he played banjo, guitar and sang irish trad). A beautiful soul gone too soon. No doubt if this short is about a father I'll be in tears. I'm still mourning him especially now that Christmas is coming. Stay doing what you do!

You deserve more recognition I have no doubt in my mind that this project will make your dad proud and will get the recognition it deserves ❤ much love

I see this quite possibly being a new industry genre. You're a pioneer! And I'm so sorry for your loss, wishing you nothing but the best ❤

it's insane that you're doing this all on your own... it looks too good😍

It looks awesome so far! I'm sure your dad is cheering you on from heaven proudly. :]

It is super impressive how you can single handedly make this can't wait to see the finished film

You're going places my man, your father is so proud of you already. I can't wait to see where this goes.

I genuinely just cried because of this. The year wait was worth it!!! When my dad gets home, I'm gonna hug him as tight as I can.

I love the little details and how you animate! (Plz continue, and I hope your cat helps too!)

This looks better than a Hollywood film

I hope you feel better after the loss of your dad, and im very sorry for it too, with your amazing animation with paper, i hope your dad will be watching your amazing puppeteering from above

I'm sorry to hear about your dad, those are some great pictures! It also goes without saying this animation looks incredibly promising! Can't wait to see it!

Wow increíble si sigues así vas a poder ser lo que quieras yo confío en ti sigue asi ❤❤❤

Your baby jumping back at the end was so cute, really can't wait for this

I think showing the amount of work you put into animating each scene really helps. Some folks are just ignorant on the effort it twkes

Sorry for your loss. I fully support you and your paper animated project as well. I look forward to seeing the film when it's completed.

Your work is amazing... ! Reminds me as a kid trying to do stop motion with an old camera of my parents!

I found your project by chance on ig and instantly fell in love with it... You´re out of this world

11 months out and I just found this for the first time. You’re a storyteller tried and true, I cant wait to see your colors shine through this.

You are so very talented, I'm very sorry about you loss ❤ Just know your father would most likely be proud of you! ❤❤

Thanks

No es mucho pero espero ayude

I lost my dad about 2 years ago now. It does seem like there are a lot of gruff dads out there who care, but don't necessarily say it all the time. There's also a whole group of people dedicated to trying to return the favor. It strikes me as odd that people can love each other, but get upset about how often it's talked about and use that to destroy the relationship. My dad wasn't the gruff one, he told me he loved me all the time, and made sure I knew. I was the one that didn't show a lot of affection. I regret it, but it just doesn't change who I am, and hindsight is 20/20. I told him on occasion, but I mostly just tried to be there for him the best I could, and I would overcompensate in doing so. I was blessed to have a father that wouldn't have changed how he treated me based on how much affection I showed him, I saw that because my siblings treated him like dirt, but he treated us all the same. He never stopped caring about us, and letting us know. I just want to tell people dealing with someone like that that, someone like me, just because they don't say it doesn't mean it isn't true. Try to show them some understanding, and empathize with the fact that different people show their love in different ways. Don't overthink things, don't assume the worst, just try and see the world through someone else's eyes.

Omg! Thats so sad 😭 I feel sorry for your loss, you can take all the time you need ❤ this looks so cool!

Omg this is amazing. I’m so sorry for your loss remember you’re never alone! I also lost my dad although it’s difficult and different for everyone around us we can get through it no mater how hard it is

I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope your doing better now, and I'm very excited for your new project

I just watched your shorts and had no idea this was for your father. Gave me extra respect for you.

Gruff just came out!!! This guy did 2 years for 9 whole minutes of perfection, and honestly, being the sole animater of Gruff is impressive, it shows how hardworking someone can be after such a monumental loss. Gruff is also just a really detailed and awesome, and waiting 2 years for 9 minutes of Gruff perfection, its worth every second. 🥇 🥇 🥇

This is amazing, we’re happy youre here and sharing the process of making this with us 🎉🎉❤

OH MY GOD THIS LOOKS AMAZING!! Also, I’m so sorry for your loss, I really hope that it all gets better for you as and after you make this extraordinary film!! C:

You can do this never gave up,your dad will be proud of you,he will watch you in heaven.

you´re a wonderfull person because even if you've lost someone, you keep going, I can't wait for Gruff to come out!

This is WONDERFUL!!! The blending of the 2D characters and puppet style is such a lovely animation style, this type of creativity and versatility is why I love animated media and dedicated creators like you!! Sending all my love and support towards this (and your) story
