Heart of Gold | Animated Short Film (ACCD Thesis)

Who came from Instagram

How does this 6 minute animation have deeper characters and more emotional impact than half the big budget movies out there??

5:10, there's three lil bois, showing that the necromancer was able to bring his little friend back. So like, hopefully she can figure out how to do it. :)

Hello there! I am a student of your former teacher. He just showed us this film you did in class! He said that you sent him an email asking for feedback. I don't think the feedback I've given him was too good so I just wanted to type out this comment saying that your short film is really good like... the you did all the art, the animation even the background music and the actual plot of the film was so enticing as well! You're truly so talented! <3

Everyone saying the message is “don’t be greedy” missed so many signs. I’m not sure what the artist intended but I see the corruption of church/religion. 1.) as the woman walks out the church the cross is very clearly broken 2.) the man had just sacrificed himself and the pastor just wanted the gold 3.) the lengths people will go to please the church (the woman was willing to sacrifice another life)

LMAO THE PRIEST THOUGH “give me that dead mans golden heart 😡🤑”

The moral of the story is," Don't mess with stuff you don't understand".

So in the end she is not able to bring him back yet? this was really good and emotion sparking.

Mann we need a part 2 and this is so good 😭✨🖤 i loved this with full of my heart

priest be like: “ god need that gold drip 😤🤚”

That so-called "pastor"... He may wear priestly robes, but he clearly acted the least Christ-like out of everyone in that tale! Had he forgotten the Parable of the Poor Widow? How could he so simply accept what would appear to be witchcraft as if it was just fine (it might be fine, don't get me wrong, but there was no spiritual scrutiny applied before he made that decision)? And how dare he value a heart-sized lump of gold more than a human life?! If that's what that girl thought God was like, no wonder she rejected the cross! Her heart was aligned with righteousness, was presented an image of God that outright contradicted that righteousness, and cast out what she had identified as evil! Never once realizing that it was only the presented image, and not God Himself, that was unrighteous!

THIS IS SO GOOD! I love the character designs and all the little details in the background, like then cross on the front of the church being broken. This is so awesome, you guys killed it!

DONT DO ME LIKE THAT WITH THE "THE END ..... ?'" 😭

3:05 shoves her outta the way when he thinks she was just money hungry this man aint no simp

I found snippets of this animation on tiktok (not credited to you, of course), but I'm glad I found a comment that stated the name of the short plus your name. Beautiful animation and story telling! Edit: Ok, so after this comment kinda blew up, it drives me nuts that this user on tiktok is getting all of the views and is getting asked for another part. It also makes me mad that them saying that their link in their bio would bring people to this video when that's a lie as well. I do want to thank the person that did comment the name of this video, but sadly that was a reply to a comment, so its not as visible. Tiktok is honestly a mistake, and people stealing animations like this isn't going to help the original artist the views they deserve. I did report the account, but I don't think Tiktok is going to do anything about it, which is an issue.

The fact that you made my heart absolutely ache in less than 6 minutes means you've done a stupendous job

God doesn’t need money. If you really believe him you believe that he is the all mighty and has no need for money. Like the title of the animation, all you need is a good heart or “heart of gold”

You know, I wanted to point out some moments that could get some more work, stiff pieces of animation etc... But then I remembered that I'm not watching an official animation, but a film student project. Like... wow, the amount of details put into every frame... It's on pair, if not even better than most of the animations that came out in cinema last year. Just bravo <3

Its sad i hope one day she brings the one she loves back

I honestly feel like she gives off that old woman from the Bible. She donates a penny which is all she has to the church and everyone laughs at her. However Jesus told them that as long as it was from the heart its good. If it'd not he doesn't want it.
