"You are.. a miracle" I am once again crying 🥺🥺 it's a very heartwarming culmination like I am alive and a miracle thank you 🥺🥺

I’m so glad I discovered this channel, your aesthetic and skill is amazing

[amandaoesef]

This is so beautiful! You have such a keen sense of aesthetic and style. I wonder how you got those effects and filters in, I never know what to look up but the look, the projection and overlay feel... It just fits so well with the subject matter.

I wish all my science classes were taught in animated short film format

Omg mitosis was exactly what I was studying today! I just find this coincidence so funny and pleasing. Keep up the great work! :3

I can just imagine the voice actor whispering into a mic in a recording booth 😂 great execution nonetheless!

[solrazii]

wow, this is gorgeous! the warm coloring is so pretty and the animation was very smooth and dynamic, lovely job!

[awriter-hgmo]

The bright, neon colors you use in the beginning and at the end remind me of the color scheme in spiderman: into the spider verse - i was getting flashbacks to when miles got bit by that huge spider lol

as always, love your videos!

this is so well put together.. honestly, I don’t know what to say, all of it so gorgeous

[francelouiseflores]

... when it said 48 hours i legit thought the full thing lasted 48 hours, not that it was made within 48 hours ahsdkadsj anyways I absolutely LOVE this I swear every time I watch something from you my mind just goes *kaPOOSH* and from that i know that it was something well-made, well thought-out, and just amazing. thank you for sharing your stuffs with us!! <3

[nekuni]

this was very comforting. 🥺 thank u for this. you are magical✨

[grafcharming]

That was really beautiful- I loved the presentation and the little details for example the eye motion when it was mentioned in the video.
The voice was also great and the message is very important and something I think a lot of us forget, in our daily lives, that each and everyone one of us is a miracle 😊
Thank you for uploading and sharing it 😄👍
