“Balderdash, my heart is a better compass than your cogs and gears” - brilliant line, oh,to be smitten . . .

Man, there's more art in these 11 minutes than entire movies...

I often play shorts, but this was the first time one of them got my wife's and daughter's attention. They both sat and watched it and enjoyed every bit of it. It was like a modern Mr. Magoo to me. I could imagine a series with the antics of Widdershins as he tries to connect with his love, always comes close but never succeeds. We would watch every episode rooting for Widdershins' success. Very well done.

Lovely! The art was gorgeous! A feast for the eyes. Loved the steampunk style and the rich textures. There seemed to be a little Edward Gorey in there too. Enjoyed the happy ending and the message as well, though I felt a little bad for poor Bertie as I think he was underappreciated. He really did seem to care about his human.

In the mid-1980s, our library had a 16mm film library. One short film was called "A". It was done in pen and ink, very sparse details in the animation. The plot goes as follows. A man comes home to his apartment and while going about his tasks, he is harassed by a large capital letter A. At the end of the film, the A disappears, the man is relieved. But, just as the film fades out, the letter B appears. I would love to find out more about the film. The library has long since gotten rid of its films and doesn't have records of what was in the collection. Thanks!

The black and white color choices really underlined the steampunk inspiration for this piece. I enjoyed it immensely!

Brilliant! I loved everything about this piece - the artwork (especially being in monochrome), the 'world' that had been created, the characters... I really liked the suspense at the end where we think our character has decided 'enough' and steps out into the void. Thank you for allowing us to share in this wonderful experience.

I agree, this screams steampunk, or "Sherlock Holmes meets the Fifth Element". I loved this short for a few reasons, definitely faving it.

Very funny with cute romantic ending. Reminded me of Wallace & Grommit with the mechanical dressing.

Love , heart & consciousness, thinking out of the box overcomes programming , routines & rules of the artificial matrix.

The reference to "Hello World" (the first basic example in every computer programme) and its distortion to Hell Word as a reference to tech becoming pervasive and intrusive, is golden.

Exactly, it would be a world at baseline, all the time. Joy and pain cannot exist without one another in the same reality. It's only called Day because Night also exists. I think Berty did care for him and wish him to be happy, he realizes that that woman is unpredictable and potentially dangerous, and values freedom at the expense of safety. He doesn't realize, however, that that's what makes life exciting!

Jak ktoś docenia w całym zarysie sztukę nie tylko tą piękną to czarno - biały kolor filmiku nie powinien przeszkadzać. Ten kolor dodaje temu filmowi więcej treści i pokazuje jakim jest nasze życie.
