Such a bittersweet film about childhood days and betrayal. I wish there was more, it was so intriguing to watch the characters interact. Wonderful job!

3 minutes ago, I didn't know I would be attached to a character and story without even speaking

I literally watched the whole thing with my mouth hung open. THE ARTSTYLE. THE ANIMATION. THE COLORS. THE BACKGROUNDS. THE SMOOTHNESS! *Chef's kiss*

I’m so drawn in by the world building! Not only is the magic bright, colorful, and beautifully designed, but it seems to have such an interesting backstory. The big sister’s magic seems to come from draining life force, but the little sister and her friend look like they draw their magic from elsewhere. I was just so drawn in by how elegantly-crafted this was.

This animation and story was so incredible and beautiful, I wish we could see more. It's such a shame that so many things like these end up being one-offs.. I would honestly watch a whole series based on these characters, and I don't even really know them. I just see the amazing potential in this, and I wish it could continue past one music video

this is so incredible. the vibes, the character acting, the timing. the bg paints too like what. this is so so so so good

WHAT NOO I WANNA SEE MOREE! OMFG THIS IS TOO GOOD TO PUT INTO WORDS THE PERSPECTIVE, EFFECTS, STORY OMGGGGG I CANT THIS NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE-

The way you managed to perfectly portray each emotion in their facial expressions is so amazing and making me jealous 😭 Absolutely beautiful!

HOW THE HECK DOES THIS HAVE LESS THAN A THOUSAND VIEWS RN PEOPLE- NO THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE THIS. THIS IS AMAZING ❤❤❤🎉

Less than four minutes and I'm invested. Introduction, pacing, expressions... I'm not a cinematographer, but to my layperson view it's perfect.

This is produced with SUCH HIGH QUALITY and it only has 1k views and 500 likes are you kidding me?

Ah this is beautiful, the way you animate movement, limbs extending so fluidly. Beautiful story with a lot of implied nuance, I find it interesting how the tutor is never fully shown, that framing is fantastic.

You know the animation is good when it’s got you gasping in what ever emotion is in my chest rn XD❤

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP! This is beautiful and extremely moving. Almost 4 minutes of hard work moved me so much. This is a film you plan on turning into a bigger project correct? You and your team are incredible and I hope you are proud. As an EXTREMELY beginner animator, this gave me a lot of excitement and motivation to keep getting better. Sorry for the yapping, thank you for making this!

Two siblings, pulled apart at a young age. Where once they've stood beside one another, sharing the closest bond two can have, now, they must fight. It's a tale as old as time, really. Ok ok ok, I LOVE this! The animation's so smooth, the art's GORGEOUS, the sound's incredible, and the story. Absolutely captivating! Not a single word was spoken, and yet SO MUCH EMOTION! I LOVE IT, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

This is better than the Disney movies we get nowadays ngl. This will blow up for sure

HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING?!?!? WHAT??? THE COLOURS, THE ANIMATION, THE STORY TELLING?!?!? Woah- im blown away. This is a masterpiece. This NEEDS to be a full animated siries, OMFG!!! Wow. Just wow. This is going to my "masterpiece" folder rn. edit: I JUST SAW UR FOLLOWER COUNT AND LIKES??? WHAT??? THIS IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED

I saw your "blast off" and also "strays nest" and now this and just wanted to say... I never really understood when creators talked about how bad RU-vid algorithm is until I saw this video with less than 30k views among with your other speechlesy amazing but underrated videos... I feel soo sorry that you and not just you but many many other indie creators with extraordinary visions weren't able to reach the audiences that would give You and their works true recognition but... Know that these hidden gems are greatly appreciated and loved by the few who had the luck and pleasure of coming across it... I Truly wish you the Very Best in the Future... "To free yourself from the expectations of others, is to give us back to ourselves" "Find value in Humility, then Will you find Peace"

So glad this was recommended to me. Another beautiful animation from an extremely underrated artist! Amazing work on colors, composition and animation; Especially the flashback to the two sisters jumping in the air before transitioning to the duo was a spot on scene. You’ve perfectly captured the emotion and impact of that scene. Though if this was a longer film, I would’ve loved to see more of why the older sister was corrupted to really feel the weight of the younger sister’s emotions of the betrayal more. Another suggestion I’d give is to title the video as a trailer rather than a music video. At first I hesitated clicking when I thought this was going to be some music video as I’m not interesting in those. But I definitely don’t regret clicking now as this far exceeded my expectations as an animated film which I absolutely love. But besides those, everything else was spot on. The world building concepts are also very intriguing too, you’ve made me hooked to the story just within 3 minutes. Keep up the good work! Those 8 months really paid off :)

THIS IS GORGEOUS. It’s so hard to believe such talented people exist on this same plane as me but here I am, being surprised every day.

Muy hermoso le quedó ✨🍀💐👏

Really hope to see more of Igna, what a fantastic story and animation!!

MAKE THIS A MOVIEE...…. so beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤ amazing

Excellent amazing amazing beauty It's just indescribable Keep up the good work 👍

Colour theory and contrast are used perfectly in this beauty of animation

Wow. I am in awe. This would make an amazing movie. I swear the film industry needs to hire some of the people on here for their stories.

BRO THIS IS SO AMAZING?? LIKE WHAT??? THE STORY, THE ANIMATION, THE CHARACTERS! EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD! I LOVE YOUR ART ITS SO PRETTY I WANT TO SQUISH IT AND EAT IT IT LOOKS SO SOFT AND SO NICE AND AHHHH I JUST LOVE THIS SO MUCH AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT!!! LITERALLY I GOT ACTUAL CHILLS WHILE WATCHING THIS, LIKE FULL BLOWN GOOSEBUMPS THATS HOW GOOD THIS WAS!! Dude but seriously I don't even know how to say how much I love this and how much it inspires me to keep doing art like genuinely I would watch an entire show with your art and characters cause they're so amazing!! THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!!!

This should be an epic Disney movie! The story, the characters and the animation was incredible!

It's so... so beautiful... You turned your soul inside out ❤️‍🔥🕊️

THE MUSIC IS JUST CHEFS KISS

This is absolutely amazing ,,, the lighting , the the animation , the characters expressions and even the story telling are sick .. THIS IS VERY UNDERRATED 😭 loved it since the first seconds

OMG i was not ready to watch a masterpiece

This concept would make for such a great tv show (it also kind of reminds me of Genshin impact bc the siblings are on different sides of a battle but it’s still different) And ofc it all looks so good the colours of the beginning and pretty much all of it was so peaceful (until the older one got taken away 😢)

If you decide to start a series based off of this, I will support you wholeheartedly. This is absolutely incredible and beautiful

This is so beautiful, I hope it gets more views!

I'm gonna be honest I don't really understand the conflict, but the character designs were fantastic, the animation was gorgeous, and the music was on point. I really enjoyed this and would watch a whole show or movie like this. Thank you for sharing it. I'm glad you exist. Have a wonderful day.

Marvelous work. This would be such an amazing movie 😮😮😮😮

This needs to be a show a series

The animation, the sounds, the music, everything gave me goosebumps! I don't know how to describe my feelings..

I love how they subtly grow up and how you used parallels and jump shots to enhance it. It’s not easy to draw characters grow up so subtly that you don’t really realize it till you look back! I have been following you working on this on IG for a while, and this ended up so well! Inspired to make a short film eventually thanks to this! Good job! Looking forward to future works you do!

WE NEED A FULL MOVIE OF THIS!!!

I just found your IG and omg watching this is such a hidden treasure! Very beautifully written storyline, supporting music within each scene, the transitions, the color tones from bright to dark, the angle story telling, and you can get the the feel through each scene even without the characters voice!, this is a very amazing work Kelly and team! 🔥🔥🔥
