Thanks so much for watching! Check out the process video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fJai05t7icjRZ8o.html

I love how all the reflections, both in the office and in Aria's mind, are slightly lagging behind

I love how she said OUR face is waiting, not your face is waiting. She knows full well she’s just gonna steal the girl’s identity. Also she said once a borrower, always a thief. The patient girl is already a borrower, so according to that saying, there is no hope for the girl. She’s already cursed to be a thief. She was already “once a borrower.” Foreshadowing.

WOAH, WHAT A TWIST I LOVE IT SO MUCH, The story was amazing, and the quiet foreshadowing, hidden perfectly. The visuals fit the story so well! Awesome job!!

Yeah, especially the card at the start that said they’d fix all her problems in one visit, foreshadowing the end.

This is so good. It reminds me of that saying that when you keep on trying to be someone else, you end up losing your own self

THERE'S A SAYING FOR THAT?! if the answer is still yes, I'm glad, but I've never heard this saying

Ahhhh, Michelle! Thank you so much for letting me be a small part of this amazing film! I loved working on it with you and am proud to have contributed to it!

I love that your films have a dark twist at the end, it shows that you're not afraid to explore heartbreak, and second-guessing in the art of entertainment, without directly handing entertainment to the viewer.

I don't understand This seems like a split personality like tale Is doctor also part of her or she different person with same power

I love the animation style, and I'm a sucker for not-quite-right reflections and glitching; I'm a therapist (though I promise without borrowing others' faces, despite needing to do that when I was younger to survive!) and this is going to be a splendid little film to show one of the groups I'm doing for teenagers.

Omg Lake is in the cupboard! He must have gone searching for himself again nad was imprisoned for stealing his brothers face! 😲🤯

I did NOT expect this to be so good oh my god!!!!!! The way you use colors and design characters and create atmospheres is so impeccable and the mix of 2d with 3d jfc i’m so in love

ive never seen anything in my life describing what it is like to look back and try to find yourself, through all the transformations we have in our lives so accurately and so beautifully.

I am in awe of this absolutely beautiful creation..

Wow!! These CalArts films are always my favorite things to watch, and I think you've created my new favorite! Your talent is absolutely incredible- not only is your art amazing, but your direction and story telling is so gripping! Hope to see even more from you in the future!

This is so AMAZING, the music is fantastic. This is one of the few short films I've watched that has actually kept me engaged with the story, and I didn't feel like I knew what was going to happen. Awesome work!

I’m here from your last short film, and this is even better than thd first! The twist at the end is amazing, and the subtle nods throughout the film to the twist at the end like the delayed reflection and the glitches in Aria’s appearance really add up at the end. Bravo!

Bro I know you made The Twins film but I didn't expect this to have a plot twist too💀

That can’t be all we need a whole series who agrees

HELLOOOOOOO THIS IS INCREDIBLE????? the glitching is so well done!!! love the voice acting too!!!

THIS IS AMAZING!!!! WHAT THE HECK?!?!?!? HOW ARE YOU DOING 3D PANS ON 2D ANIMATION HOLY CRAP!!! YALLL GREAT JOB!!

Oh my God, YOU! THE PERSON WHO MADE THE TWINS VIDEO! Honestly I should’ve realized that these two videos were by the same person earlier lol, they both have crazy creepy plot-twists and amazing animation.

This was so cool!!! And the twist, too :O *clap clap*. Great job on this - it must've taken forever ;v;

I loved this, please make a part 2! It’s so creative and unique 💞

This is when art imitates life. Very well done.

This is phenomenal! The colours fit so well in the scene

How hasn't this blown up yet the animation is perfect, and the music and sounds sync up so well.

WOW THAT WAS SO GOOD ONE OF THE BEST SHORT FILMS IVE SEEN

I DID NOT EXPECT THAT ENDING, but there is a moral to be learned here, you shouldn’t try to be someone else and try being your own self

THIS WAS SO GOOD AMD SO WORTH THE WAIT.

This is amazing! I especially love the little reference to one of your other films.

Omg I love this, especially the storytelling and the foreshadowing

THIS IS SO GREAT! I love the symbolic message behind it! Keep it up! I’m sure you will get very far eventually, your short are already so creative and great! 😃

The twist was cool, but I feel it took away from the message a little? I've seen it lot of people say that it's about finding yourself/trying to open someone else, but I interpreted it as (autistic) masking. Like, acting more socially acceptable but through that losing all your energy and not being able to unmask. It's very common and a lot of people go to therapy bc they feel that, and then find out it's autistic/adhd masking. Idk, just my take. Great shortfilm!

I agree that the story did feel like promising about the girl getting better, which perhaps that's the reason why it's plot twist/ red herring (false guidance). Since the creator I've seen focus on the bleak psychological & dark atmosphere drama conflict (like the earliest story about 2 brothers), it may've been an exploration around such genre. One could even say this version is like a fable story where a sheep actually asking a wolf in sheperd clothing, like those creepy grimm fairytales of cautionary tale. After all, not everyone gets a happy ending because the blade of sorrow is also quite strong to pierce a point for us to learn (hence why tragedy also quite popular since antiquity....or since dawn of time if I'd believe it furtherst).

Yes thanks your short film to twins borrowers hynpotist

I like these kind of stories because it’s being scary/creepy/ dark without violence

Wow! Bravo! That was awesome. Really enjoyed the twist. I was like, 100%thought this was going to be some sort of coming of age commentary on finding oneself and then that ending boom "oshit, nvm its a horror. Sorry about your luck." lmao. Thank you so much!

Very cool concept!

Bravo Michelle :)

AMAZING

Great story, good animation and art.

This was amazing!

Jaw dropping 😮😮😮

Holy shit that was FANTASTIC!!!

Omg who’s is so cool and true we all try to be someone who we aren’t or think about it. U are incredibly talented and deserve to make a famous movie u sure have the creativity for it

That was the scariest short film I have ever saw.

WOOOOAAAAHHHH

0:17 broo the the sign effect is goodd

wonderful

Wow! that ending tho

Amazingly Nice

5:23 are we not gonna talk about how one of the twin’s faces are there from The Twins😅

I'm terrified 💀

Underrated

Nice you even added Lucas in the face drawer in the corner

Damn, that's tough.

Wow

Dude please be an indie animator. The whole time I’m thinking this was done by 1 person?!? Gosh! So many layers of talent!

HOLY SHIT I RELATE TO THIS SO MUCH

holy crap o_ o

This reminds me of that one vine where the barista asks "can I have your name?"

Nice animation and cool story. Arya Stark would be proud :P

THAT WAS QUITE THE TWIST!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

🐯👌 Estuvo buena, al comienzo hay pequeñas pistas no tan notables que te dan un pequeño guiño de lo que pasara

5:22 Bottom right corner. THAT'S LAKE FROM "The Twins"

I like to think that "borrowing" is a metaphor for emulating someone else's personality Her glitching is when someone forgets what their original personality was

🚀🌙❤

I knew it they were tricking aria

Dam

OMG ESATGDFLGUFDSLGUDSFLG ok one of the best short films i've watched so far. such good storytelling aaahhh!
