First off I want to say a huge thank you to the lovely who gave me the permission to post films on DA. You're a star hon and thank you very much!
HEAR ME COLOUR
Finally I can post my end of 2nd year film on DA, and boy am i happy about it i love this film so much. It's all hand drawn traditional animation, with colour and textures put in using ANIMO and other small effects done in Adobe Premiere
This little film features the children Eric and Rhea going about cheering up a dull and grey city through the use of communication, encouraging the lifeless inhabitants to become colourful and vibrant individuals
This film took about 6 months to make, including all the pre-production.
The music is the song 'Eple' by Roysopp, and before you run to hit that 'report' button I DO have permission to use that track in this film
I have a syncronisation licence with Universal Publishing which gives me free use of the song provided I don't make any money from my film....so yay!
...and dija know that 'Eple' is Norwegan for 'Apple'? Yeah, neither did I
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ other stuff:
- First off and most importantly a massive thanks to all my wonderful friends and tutors at , in particular and who were kind enough to lend me some of their time to do video reffs for this piece (and who often dragged me away from my lightbox to do fun stuff). There was a 'thanks to' screen at the end of this film but I took it out to protect the innocent ;D So you guys get a huge thank you hug here instead!
- a friend of mine wrote a HUGELY amusing mock-review of HMC. It can be found here, so do read it, it's funny XD [link]
- Hear Me Colour was picked up by a company in australia and used as part of a Virgin Broadband advert. The advert can be seen here, can you spot the shots from HMC? [link]

Holy Jumpcuts a DD for HMC?! ;0; a Massive load of plug-type thanks to for choosing it, and to for reccomending it...and to all of YOU GUYS for leaving me comments and faving it and telling me how much you enjoy it.
I really do appreciate it, even if it takes me time to reply and say thank you. It warms my heart to know that people enjoy this film, and it makes all the hours spent slaving over a lightbox in a dark, freezing cold student livingroom as some gawdawful hour at night totally worth it XD
So all i can really say is thank you....thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you!

(insert platinum award medal thingy here cause thumbs don't work on image comments, boo hiss)
...and if a regular DD wasn't enough Hear Me Colour was also awarded a platinum award by on the reccomendation of
MY JOY IS BOUNDLESS. As said before it's so wonderful to have something you spent months slaving over be appreciated and enjoyed by so many...and in all honestly this film wouldn't have come about without the warmth and encouragement of my college friends (not just the ones specifically featured above, but all of them!) and my tutors and my family AND my DA friends and my other internet buddies who ALL put up with my moodyness and migranes and hissy fits and unwillingless to cut loose and have fun and my hysteria and my stress induced over-chirpyness XD
again, all i can say is THANK YOU
and thank you to all the people who have commented and faved my film (especially the people who did both ;D)
I own want your trying to say but to me these girl are evil! Why, I'll tell you there forcing, focring, foricing? People to be happy, there's nothing wrong with those square heads because there saddness is normal that's how we learn and makes the good things in life good. Sorry...
That's ok, people are free to enterprit the film however they want, and if they don't like the message that's still a reaction and its worth talking about even if it is not how I intended it to come across. You are welcome to your beliefs
No worries ^-^ You were expressing your feelings and that's fine, you weren't saying 'omg this sux' or anything!
Well it was hard work but I wouldn't say it was boring. I had a lot of fun seeing the finished result and I still get that feeling today even when working on really simple animations. It's a good feeling when you've worked hard on something and you watch it come to life
I'm truely flattered! and happy that it made such an impression on you, thank you!
Thanks!
thanks for the fave!
