It is always a joy to see Toniko Pantoja's animated concepts in motion. The amount of care and effort he places in his shorts really show off what can still be done in animation.
I would even go as far as to say is a call to action, to both the big studios and independent filmmakers, there are stories still to be told in the medium. It cries out to the world that animation is not dead, it is alive, and wants to soar free. Such beauty can only be obtained by passionate and talented folks who dare to carry on the torch of the many talented animators who came before. Truly an inspiration for any budding animator.
In this small short, more has been expressed than perhaps the last twenty years of animation. Truly a masterpiece in the making. And one I hope will receive the attention and the support it needs.
