Honestly this feels like a prologue to an animated series and I would love more of the story and lore. It's clear the effort you put into this and it came out so beautifully, I never get tired of watching it.

Fun fact! Most people who get hanged have their neck snapped by the sheer weight of the drop. Realistically, there was a every high chance that he was supposed to die by the fall itself. Great animation!

Well to be expected they didn't do anything too flashy, and most of the times eye, hands, movement takes alot of time to animate including the body posture, well I'm sure you know that but i agree the quality is too amazing for 1 month.

Want to know whats funny? *This* is more captivating that any of the trailers i have ever seen. But there was not a single word said, nor a hint of familiarity, that would bring in the audience. Not to mention that *everything* had story. The setting, the mood, scenery, ambience, actions, principles of art. Just a masterpiece. That concludes my TED talk.

Reminds me of the scene from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I think both the footsteps over footsteps in the beginning was especially well-animated, but I also loved the tension and weight in the pull of the bound hands reaching out and being pulled at the end. Beautiful!

Isaiah 53:4-6 | Surely He Took up our pain and Bore our suffering, yet we considered Him punished by GOD, stricken by Him, and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the Punishment that brings Peace was on Him, and by His wounds you can be Healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray: each of us has turned our own way. And The Lord has Laid on Him the iniquity of us all. John 6:35 | Jesus Declared: I am the bread of Life. Whoever comes to Me Will never go hungry, whoever believes in Me Will never be thirsty. John 6:51 | I am the Living bread that Came down from Heaven. Whoever takes this bread in will Live forever. This bread is My flesh, which I Will Give for the Life of the world.
What a wonderful exploration of light, Color, & shade. Smooth!

Literally, you only see foots and hands but everything is so intense and clear, It's so well done!
Damn we need a full series
This has the potential to turn into a full fledge series , its so good! The lighting the sound design the animation the story they all are top quality, keep it up you'll do great things
Well that was packed to the gills. You used every second of that for maximum effect. Well done.
Underrated grrrrr, the lighting and the way the backgrounds move and shift are phenomenal! It looks very pretty, the ending shots of the letter were creative and a good way to incorporate letters into the scene, i also really liked the subtle camera shaking when the guards hand was lifted. Also the theif design is relly cute lol
Now that is a very good short, I really enjoyed it. I wouldn't mind seeing this turned into a longer story. The details were especially good, like the tiny rope strands left on the arrowhead, a very nice touch! One thing though, I noticed that the setting looks vaguely like medieval Europe, but the way the girl holds the bow and the arrow placement are Japanese. Was that on purpose?

Thank you so much🙏❤️ yeah I had a medieval era in mind, didn't know there were specific cultural ways to hold a bow tho, I just imagined her holding it like that and drew just that :)

It was two different people right, bow person and the girl
I'll be honest watching the beginning made me think the entire short was only going to show hands and feet, which I actually thought was a pretty interesting idea lol until I saw faces lol But past my initial thought amazing work and love the music 😊
A master class in how sound design matters in animation. The sound really helps sell the story, even when few frames are used.
This is incredible!! The animation frames are so simple and yet so captivating, the face reveals were absolutely perfect, the music had my heart racing with each scene; a masterpiece
These clever shots are genius as they don’t require too much actual animation of each scene while the quickness captivates the viewer
Wow, I love the unique shot choices! They give necessary context but also help to emphasize the tension of the story. Fantastic work.
The amount of story telling and world building you fit in there was fantastic! Great job!
That fall would break his neck. 100%.
The texture and the environment designs are breathtaking! The actual mud print felt so believable! Love this!
Nice but when people are hung the feet sway a bit. Non moving feet means he died instantly. It’s a little tiny detail but it makes a difference. Other than that, nice line work and color. Keep it up
This is by far the best short film I have ever seen. The snappy action and well composed shots are amazing.
This is amazing! So much conveyed with only small portions and motions of the characters’ bodies, so much emotion with no facial expressions, so much so much storytelling and worldbuilding with no dialogue! This is the beauty of animation as a storytelling medium done beautifully!
I adore the style- the plot- the animation- GAH ITS SO WONDERFUL. I can't believe this took only a month! The little "take my hand" is really well done enough to be understood without voice- THATS SO COOL!
Ok I need a full series out of this. This is crazy awesome. This looks like a trailer of an anime produced by some big studios. And the hype is unreal. you are too good. new subscriber here.
Some movies begin with “UNIVERSAL”, some movies begin with “PIXAR”, but here, this movie starts with “SKEPTIC” “BOI”
The town’s merchants are gonna pissed at the construction workers who built those gallows.
Love the fact that the animation doesn't show the whole scenario, just feet or a hand, but you fully understand what's happening
It took a lot less time than I expected to figure out she was saying "take my hand" !!! This is so well done, I'm not even that good at reading lips but I could read an animated character's lips this is great!😂
This short film definitely deserves a movie!!🎥 You did a GREAT job❕😃
Bro needs his own show because the ending actually had me screaming. You got me invested in those two characters after A MINUTE. That’s insane! Good job.
I love everything about this. The choise of dramatic music fits perfectly into what happens on screen and the details you can see in the light at morning makes it look even more breathtaking. You deserve WAY more views bro! 👍
0:57. "Grab my hand" she said.
The art the music and the story😍... Great job man.. We Need MoRe!!
Someone finally used this awesome soundtrack! I listen to Eternal Eclipse so much when I'm studying, I recognized it right away. Great job, looking forward to more!
This is honestly beautiful, great work! I love the warm colors and the combined movie trailer-ish style with the music *chef’s kiss*
when I first saw the film it looked pretty ordinary but I tried watching it again and I saw the beauty of your cuts and shots and how beautiful is the sound design of your film how it adds up to the drama and suspense and I feel its beautiful quite inspiring :)
Underrated! This deserves WAY WAY WAY WAY More attention!
The details the animation everything is so perfect about this short film you're so underrated!
Please continue to make animations. It’s literally so surprising that you haven’t blown up with such talent.
This is some Amazing work Mash'Allah 👌🏽 keep doing good work bro! ✌🏼

"Take my hand", I love how there was no dialogue and yet I still knew exactly what she said. Amazing!

Two things. One: he would probably "just" have lost a hand for stealing. Two: the fall that breaks your neck is what kills you. The thief would be dead by then. But good animation. Thanks

Dude the music! I freaked out when I heard it (I love that playlist it’s SUCH a good collection) and you did so good piecing the different parts together! I know those songs by heart and I was very impressed by how flawlessly they looped together! And then the animation itself! Very beautiful, and you did so good! Wonderful job💕💕
Wow, the colours, the story, the composition- this is fantastic! Wish it was a full film 😲
Woahh I need more! The detail of him taking her hand with both hands because they were still tied together is so thoughtfull
How are you so underrated? Like seriously I looked to your channel number thinking you were going to have a million subs for this alone - you def deserve it your art is amazing!
So underrated, I really enjoyed the tension build up with the music, excellent choice there. Loved the scenes cuts and basically EVERYTHING 🔥❤️
Love how you held off on showing any faces until the very end! Really helped with the visual storytelling! Excellent work!!
I can't stop rewatching, this is absolutely amazing!
This is the most incredible short film I have ever seen, I’m speechless.
Dude! That was awesome! Great animation, and I love the storyline!
This is amazing. I just gor a whole novel in my head from watching a minute of animation. The character design is superb
pls this has such a vibe of love, death + robots! looks awesome, everything from light to textures to style, just amazing
BRO that integration of 2D characters and realistic backgrounds is paired BEAUTIFULLY, I gotta try that myself!
This is amazing I feel really inspired looking back at peoples animations knowing some are quite along time ago. Taking a month is also so impressive I love how the character shows emotion too :)))
Weird thing for me but I always crack up at the credits part when it says "Boi" with epic shading and wonderful colours that set the tone for an epic story. Also it goes from tension and action to "Boi".
this had so much suspense and it felt like i was watching a movie in only 1 minute, sheesh! you did a great job!
this looks like the epic prologue to an amazing story 👀👀 amazing art and i loved the textures of the surfaces and little details specifically!
I love the animation style. It’s clear that a lot of work went into it
This TOTALLY feels like an intro theme to an animated show
This looks and sounds Amazing! Also, now you got my brain making all sorts of fun storylines in just a minute and a half. Wish I actually liked writing
I felt pain when the soilder stepped on the theif’s hand 😭
This would legit make a great rpg anime opening for a rogue role
I'm so invested in these characters already and it's only a minute long holy shit
That moment where the animation is so good to the point where *every* frame could be a wallpaper
Bro, soooo underrated! I know the music, so I instantly knew this was gonna be amazing.
The anime looking characters was not what i expected
My gosh this is so freaking good! I’ve got chills and my jaw is slack
Woah! The style is so good:0
Omg!!! This is absolutely stunning, especially the backgrounds they took my breath ever 😍😍 I don't know if u do stuff like this but I'd watch the hell out of a background painting or animation tutorial from you 💖💖
such a great job skeptic!!!
!!! i love this
This was too cinematic and dramatic to leave it as a short film! Like it was actually intense! I love it
This was beautifil. The way you introduced the story and constructed it was just amazing.
Definitely, we need more!! Soy many questions without an answer! You should start a series based on this short film!
That's what is happening and still happening especially in Europe, but in a different version. When you see people getting arrested in the most aggressive and savage way possible and then thrown into jails because they expressed their opinion or stood alone and silently with a sign about truth and humanity, they end up being repressed by the police forces. Keep going ur Art is Amazing!❤
You had my curiosity, now you have my admiration. This is beautiful.
Really well animated! I could feel the tension in my bones
This was an amazing piece of animated art! I was on the edge of my seat. Thank you so much.
When your short film didn't win any awards so you just write the name as an award 🤣
I think this is a great way of how to start a story and hooking audiences right off the bat.
WOAHH YOU DESERVE WAY MORE THAN 189 SUBS THIS IS EPIC
That s so cool. Fast paced but giving the main idea of the event and takes place after that. But it has still lots of things unsaid wgich are left to the audience to imagine. Well-done!
0:56 Mann just that shot I couldn't ever pull of in 1 month You nail it!!
Okay the music was insane. Very well done
Man got hanged for stealing a single bread. But honestly, this is a good opening, packed with lore (What time the setting is, the characters, motivation of said character(s), etc). I don't know anything about score/music but that is a damn good one. Honestly would love an animatic series of this short film.
Oh WOW that was good feels like a trailer for a cool series but damn that’s insanely well made
Best animation I have seen yet, well done please continue making more.
