This animation was stylistic heaven. Despite all the variance and peculiarity I was still able to follow it perfectly, a test to how we consider cohesiveness in the illustrative world.

I didn’t think it was peculiar really, just abstract. It was indeed pretty easy to follow.

I find the “are you okay? You’re like, really pale” “oh, yeah- i just look like this” part really funny because of how comically exaggerated it is but also because it reminds me of the “you’re practically glowing- maybe it’s just the lighting” part from fantastic mr fox, which is my favorite movie ever

my favorite part about CalArts films is how stylized they always are. this art style is so cool; at points, it's like a modern-day point-and-click game.

i love the way you use neons to convey shock and contrast. it makes every scene feel hostile, like every experience the universe is sending to the dancer is screaming "skip the audition and take care of yourself!"

by the way, i'm really sorry if this comment is insulting. didn't mean to misinterpret the animation if i was completely missing the point

this film perfectly captures that quiet panic of your body being, through no fault of its own, suddenly unable to perform a task you desperately need it to. doing all you can to push through, despite everything and finding yourself completely destroyed on the other side. 'was it worth it? yes? no?' and a sort of painful satisfaction at having made it despite everything. amazing.

I love the visualization of that sickly feeling. It makes you appreciate the days when youre completely ok

The sound design throughout this is so immersive and satisfyingly crunchy, it could be considered a type of asmr. Huge props to the person that put it all together

I'm glad someone else noticed this!

Absolutely gorgeous. I can’t believe this doesn’t have more attention! It really shows why you shouldn’t push past your physical limits. The colours and shape make the whole thing feel very nostalgic, almost like it’s something you’re not meant to be seeing but you’ve found anyway. 10/10

Absolutely loved this, perfectly captured what it feels like to be so sick that you barely feel like a person, like you're just inches away from death

This was so good! I especially loved the ending sequence. The x-ray shots were super cool too. The whole thing felt fast-paced, but in a good way. Nice job 👍

We are expected to move fast paced in life

As a short film appreciator, this is incredible, but as an animator, it's *so* much more than that- you don't really see stuff like this every day and it's so refreshing to see stuff THIS unapologetically cool and experimental. The oversaturated colors, the orthographic perspective, wildly unique shape language, the music, down to the *frame interlacing*. These are the kinds of risks more people should be taking, and I want to try it for my next project now. I can't wait to see what you do next, whether it's your next student film or the next big thing!!

love love how it resembles old indian manuscripts with the compression of space ! mixed with the 2000's blownout colors its so unique

Sound design was on point as always! its incredible how many synths and instruments went into this.

Congratulations on an absolute home run Lewis + team! Beautiful and captivating. Excellent pacing. The 3d insertion. Phenomenal and compelling in most every way.

this really is exactly what its like to be a performer and deal with the obligation to keep working even when you’re sick because you just feel like you have to

the color on this is awesome! it’s like goodnight moon

The animation, coloring, sound effects, voice acting its all so beautiful and deserves so much attention

The talent is talenting The art is arting The animation is animationing The slay is slaying

It's hard to describe, but this short film feels like something you aren't meant to see, I absolutely love it!

This is absolutely beautiful! The colours are so vibrant, it reminds me of a hot summer day, and the paisley title cards add to that even more. Something feels very luxurious about it tbh. 1:00 reminds me of something you'd see in ancient Egyptian art becuase their poses are the same/so static and rigid (in a good way ofc!, I just don't know how else to articulate my thoughts). Really reminds me of Mritunjoy's Tradgicomedy and Howl's Moving Castle. I just love this sm :')))

Damn, this is one of the first student films I've actually really, really liked. Loved the sound effects, shapes, and contrasting pacing and, obviously, the color. Edit: Oh, you did the Niki goes face shopping vid that's how you're so good

Love this, the colours and art style are so unique and trippy, the dance scene was insane and i really like how the beeping of the machine fades in

i sat here with my jaw dropped for half the film because of how gorgeous every aspect of this animation is---from the style to the colors used to the character designs and general atmosphere, this is incredibly well done!

i love your art sm lwk

How is it possible the stylisation can look like this and the motion FEELS more realistic than Pixar? These artists know what they’re doing

BURST out laughing at "I just look like this." still laughing about it tbh. awesome film

i watched this 2 weeks ago for the first time and it hasnt left my mind since. this is one of my favorite animations currently.

Iconic each time

I am not exaggerating at all when I say I think this is groundbreaking art. Well done!!

i love how accurate and true this is in capturing the experience of being sick and standing up too fast. i also love the colors and stylization! especially the cool glitchy effects and stuff!

this feels crunchy i love it

Crunchy like this dancer's lungs.

this reminds me sooo distinctly of older eastern european films irt shot layout and composition. it really fits the vibe!!! love this

The dance animations are so incredible. I love the colors chosen too. Wow!!! 🤩🤩

One of my absolute favorite CalArts filmsss, it's so underrated

The ending always gives me chills. Incredible work, well done.

Flat art styles are so freaking underrated tbh

I can't begin to tell you how much I love and am inspired by your art! Thank you having such a unique and amazing stlye! Love it 😭

This is so great! The dancing segment in the end reminded me of a more gritty version of tuca and Bertie which is great!!!!!! Ur great!!

I've seen a lot of short films like this on YT, like vewn's content--but this particular film oozes style in a way which I have never before seen. I'll definitely be given this a few dozen re-watches over the next few months, excellent job.

you’re style looks like the corporate style if it was actually cool and they took the time and effort making it unique

Ugh finally a calarts film that isn't about about your family heritage in another basic Disney animation style

"Hey man, SICK MOVES!"

So in love with the art style. The use of color, perspective, how the characters moved and the pacing was absolutely chefs kiss 🤌✨can’t wait to see more 💖

I love how things just flow into each other, the colors and shapes are so mesmerizing

Beautiful animation and style. Like Picasso in 2023!!

oh my god ITS AMAZING!! its so pleasing to look at, the animation, motions of characters, colors, artstyle and the story, i love it all! its very very beautiful and it inspires me to create!

people like you are the reason why i motivate myself to improve every day, thank you for making this masterpiece! may you grow your creative journey and continue to enjoy your craft every day regardless of anyone else's opinions :D

The style and execution of this is so unique and masterful!! Definitely one of my top short films to come out this year

ur style gives me the sense of comfort and home it feels so good

glad I got this on my feed, thank you for making this

your animation style is a revelation! this is incredible - love the sound design too. so visceral and unsettling

I love every part of this animation so much. the colors and stylization and the character designs its all so unique and pleasant it feels so bold. Instant fan

I feel like the weird sounds in the music and extra saturated colors and weird patterns really portray how it feels to be sick. Physically, mentally, or both. Everything is just too much and sometimes so much that you feel like you’re actually going insane. Perfectness

This is so fantastic! The colors, the pacing, the atmosphere, I want to soak in this

1:13 i love this part

I mean this in the best way possible. Your art feels feverish.

I love the editing on this film! All the little noises and quick transitions and the distorted suspenseful music that makes the audition room feel so different then everything else. So funky I love it!

Absolutely stunning, the lines are so full of personality and the colors are so well tied toghter

Stunning, like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Seriously, I hope you’re immensely proud of yourself for this

Everything in this animation is just gorgeous!! Extraordinary!!

ahh this is so awesome!!! everything is absolutely stunning and all of the art is so fluid and amazing... lovely job !!!

man this resonates heavily. getting diagnosed with a chronic condition at 20 as an aspiring artist. getting sick uproots everything.

this is amazing, your use of such crazy bold color palettes is so inspiring to my own art! deffo one of my fav short films ive seen on yt

HOLY MOLY great work!!! Your style is so unique and beautiful I love it so much

This is lowkey how it feels to be chronically ill. You force yourself to live up to the expectations of others and try endlessly to avoid dissappionting yourself by taking a break. Then you crash. And the cycle repeats.

this animation paced like my fever dream, in a good way! good job, i really aspire to have this kind of style

God this is so cool every little detail

This was incredible. An absolute gem

the visual aesthetic is amazing, love it

This is amazing! The texture in the sound effects really match the textures in the visuals!

Love the variety!! Really brings out the emotions/moods of different scenes

I LOVE the colors in this, most unique color scheme I’ve ever seen

She ATE that audition up

everything i live for in art. absolutely incredible

OMG this is soooo good! I love the colors and the artstyle so much 💕

this went immediately into my “art inspo” playlist. This was a total treat to watch

the visuals on this are fantastic. I lost my mind at the 3D bit. this encapsulates exactly what it's like feeling sick. I specifically love the mix of color and choices on shapes and angles!

This is so beautiful.

Beautiful film. Great job.

I'm in love with the style and fluidity of this film!!!

This is absolutely stunning!

this artstyle is so delcious yum

love the music love the characters' voices love the color palette love the art style.perfect

That's freaking awesome. Like, real genius.

The shape language here is incredible. We need more of this!

I am absolutely in love with this

OH MY GOD I LOVED THIS SO MUCH!!! The amount of work put into this is insane

enrapturing film from beginning to end

this is my favourite of all the calart films so far :3

This is definitely a style alone on its own. I'm glad that I found such a rare find, keep going!

The way colors are used in this is so cool!! Everything is so stylized! The ending animation was especially cool.

Watched this while I was this sick and it captured the uncanniness of being sick very well! Even more uncanny when ur super sick and everything u watch feels like a dream

Absolutely stunning work. I adore this.

wow this work is SO AMAZING you have no idea i love it

omg this is so cool,, i am beyond obsessed w the colours and movement

That’s amazing! I fell in love with the artstyle, it’s so creative and beautiful! I guess that it’s not easy to animate that kind of drawings but the animation fits really well with it! Congratulations it’s a really really good job. I will remember of it!

THIS IS LIKE THE COOLEST THING IVE EVER SEEN OH MY GOD. THE STYLE IS SO FUNKY AND UNIQUE YET EVERYTHING TIES SO NICELY TOGETHER…

I really love your style! I got into those black inserts in 0:22, 0:36 and 0:54! Also, you are great at animating dancing scenes! And the frame at 1:05 is majestic! I love this shapes, colors and dynamic! You are so cool at animation

as an animator, this is SO skillfully made it’s insane. especially the dance bit at the end, had me wondering how long you’ve been doing this for 😵‍💫
