LOST. | calarts one week film

It's okay to feel lost~ 🌻🎐🌊
---------------
Every year, our school pushes us to make a film within the first week back,,, so here it is -- my one week film at calarts!! Our theme this year was lost so I decided to make a film about a lot of the “lost” emotions I felt during my first year: a leap to the unknown, a new chapter, a new country….. I also wanted to experiment a little bit w art styles, colours and after effects,,!! And ofc music is by yours truly hehe,, I had a lot of fun, and learned a lot making this!! Hope my film could give u a little comfort in any way ^_^

[seeyah]

Shows that sometimes simplicity is the best way to go! Such an impactful animation ❤❤

It’s easy to get lost in a new country, city
Is annoying, stressful and sometimes we get anxious because don’t know what to do
I love how you depicted this, represent a lot

Also I think is hilarious that you added the “wait… wait” SO ANNOYING!!!

So beautiful. I used to watch all ur vids a couple years ago, and i kind of fell of because of how busy i got.

I always loved your art style, the sweet, chill tone of your videos, and overall u put the idea in my head that i could start a yt channel, which lead me to start my own this past year. And im so grateful for that :)

Im so proud of how far you've come from when i was younger, in general, and how you've used your art to tell such pretty and comforting stories and thoughts like this one. Your journey on yt and as u progress through your art school is inspiring, and i hope you will continue to grown as the amazing artist you are. Thank you, and i loved the vid 💜

This is so beautiful and I'm sure that a lot of people (me being one of them) can relate to this. <3 I appreciate that you produce the music by yourself as well, and you always get it right!
