Wow! Look at this. Manifestations is a film by Giles Timms at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television. He made this with Flash, TVPaint, and After Effects. The imagery is beautiful and layered. I always like colorful fuzzy things with lots of darkness and transparency. The film seems to be about a little non-human character who is in love with a human and goes across a world and through many battles both modern and ancient to find his love.
Thanks ever so much for the shout out. I also really like your synopsis, very insightful =) Thanks again for the love!
