I just this second finished uploading a brand new section in the Video media section.
You will love it.
Go see
It took ages XD
Other suprise is in progress and will take a couple of weeks at the most

This truly is a wonderful animation and a really big surprize. I do hope she does a NiGHTS version because it seems she can really capture the spirit of NiGHTS just like she did in this animation. I really did feel like I was 7 years old again....

Really, wow.
I was expecting the surprises to be rather dull to be honest. This is by far the best thing to come out of the site and probably the game, if I do say so myself.

It gives me goosebumps when I watch it. I love the part where the jester is floating outside the window. The animation is so beautiful ^^

You can bet I'll be crying when I've seen this.. after the plumber goes, so I don't embarrass myself too bad.. XD
EDIT: ..... words can't express how wonderful that animation is. Marissa, that was awesome!! I remember feeling that way once, it's amazing how much emotion I felt all in those few minutes. By the end, I was beaming. When you fly once, you never forget how... Gorgeous, beautiful, adjectives fail me!

I always dreamed of being able to make music videos using flash and such and this truly motivated me even further.
The only thing that is bothering me is that in the end it shows him falling, but him and the wheelchair is gone in the last scene. Is this symbolic to show that he actually jumped out the window.
There was a familiar project like this that also indeed made me cry (Ok, I guess I'm a sucker lol) And its about a Kiwi that had the dream to fly, so it spent all of its lifetime creating a simulation of it and well, came at a price.

Ah yes, I saw that.. made by a fellow School of Visual Arts student..Jesus, since I saw all the comments about people tearing up, and me just not so easily emotional like that, I thought I could at least prepare myself for it. But I gave in, that was a masterpiece. I got the same feeling in that, that I got from Pans Labyrinth (I teared during that as well) Because what really gets me is when the character never gets what they want due to the confines of Reality, and I relate to that struggle so it makes me upset. But happy tears towards the end because it showed that he was happy.

but him and the wheelchair is gone
I thought that at first too, but in the high res version for download the picture is clearer and the wheelchair is lying on its side under the window without him. So yeah , he jumps, in the alternative ending the Jester turns into a reaper.
Glad you all love it so much , I've been like obsessing over it for a couple of weeks now ;.;

Everyone pretty much said what I wanted to say LoL. I indeed felt chills and felt that tug on my heart, that was glorious.
Once I get on my computer (on my bro's now) I'm going to download it, it's great to see beautiful classic animation. I especially love that sheen effect the Jester had, it just added to its ambiance.

Well, what can I say since everyone else already said what I would have said? While it didn't bring about tears, it was a real tug at the heartstrings.
The person who made it is deserving of an award.

it touches more than just your heart... this is the kind of animation that should be cherished... it has so much meaning... very powerful.
but honestly... i didn't cry... i don't know why... it moved me, and i really felt for him... but no tears...
im beginning to think ive run out of tears... i didn't even make a crying sound... i just sat there... dumbfounded by the sheer awesomeness, and the beauty of it all. i found it sad, and sweet. but still, nothing.

Argh... and now I'm all psyched up to do NiGHTS, and I really don't have time at my hands to animate at the moment ><; conflict! I'll try and see if I can score schoolpoints for a possible animation.

@ayamemaiden: the file is .mov - usually quicktime should play it with no trouble, do you have that on your comp somewhere?

I said it before and i'll say it again. This animation deserves to bring you much success. It really does show off your skills as an animator and i wish you the very best for the future
And if you ever do a NiGHTS animation at least you now know there is a whole fanbase here that will love it. XD

I know a few fans have talked about making NiGHTS inspired animations *guilty* so it was really rewarding to finally see one!

I'm showing this to my husband in the morning, but I don't know what he'll think of it. X3
EDIT: Yeah, he didn't care. XD He's such a manly man I guess. He did say it was a ripoff of NiGHTS, which I hadn't mentioned where I got it from. I told him she admitted it was inspired by NiGHTS. ;P He's silly.

I showed it to my boyfriend (who's all about fantasy things and a newly recruited NiGHTS fan) and he saved it to his computer on the spot and couldn't stop crying for about five minutes after the animation ended.

However, everything that needed to be said has already been covered by the others here, so I'll just finish by saying that that part at the end almost made me cry. And that's saying a lot.
