Blue Side

`   `   `

Looking back at these animations I thought they looked bad; they looked like absolute garbage that shouldn’t have seen the surface of the earth. However, I can’t forget where I even got the inspiration to make these in the first place.

It was in the first year of highschool and we had a big project coming up and I had no idea what to make. Deciding was hard and i felt very unmotivated to do anything at all; I wouldn’t draw, I wouldn’t take photos or even film anything- hell, breathing was a chore at this point. Nothing felt interesting and all I wanted to do was to look up at the sky and listen to music- and did. The day I watched the stars and dark clouds pass by I heard different melodies enter my ears, everything from jazz to rock and metal to lo-fi. I couldn’t decide how i felt until i stumbled upon a rather short, yet comforting song. 

Blue Side.

It was like, a little hug was given to me when i sat there in the cold. It was so gentle and kind, yet sad. I then knew what i was going to do for the project. 

That is how I came up with these little animations. Though they aren’t finished or in the least done or refined- I find them nice to look at even today despite the fact that i hated them when I first created these animations.

So, what do you think? Do you have any songs that has helped you feel even a little bit more alive when all spirits where gone? Tell me about it.
