This has deep hidden meaning. I actually think its displaying events that occurred during Apollo 11 in a amazing abstract artist rendition through symbolism.
often this kinds of painted animation can feel like a mess but this one really works . . when its used as an art to symbolize feelings of life this style really works
Chilling and beautiful…. Seeing the Terrible mother archetype then goin into a rebirth was so splendid. But the music is chilling. Ah yes this reminds me of my own psyche. Dark Mysticism
@offbeat65 Doodling? Do you realize that each frame of this animation is made with a paintbrush? You can't even fathom how many hours was put into creating something like this. Ironic that you are the clueless one here..
What a remarkable film! The thoughts and feelings it conjures are epic and mysterious. In the current day, when photorealist CGI and computer assisted anime are overwhelmingly represented, this, with its hand painted transformations and philosophical depth, is revelatory of inner truth. Thank you, whoever you are (a relative?), for making Balasa’s work available.
You are welcome, one must share the same quality in order to be able to see it in others. Correct guess, I am indeed related, some of my work can be seen at www.tudorbalasa.com
