  • arjuno kecil 11 months ago
    dank je wel martijn, het was oorspronkelijk de bedoeling de tekst te verwerken in het landschap, maar helaas was daar al heel snel de deadline.

    where do you go to school? i'm impressed with the quality of work if you made this just as a student..i'm guessing prior experience?
  • arjuno kecil 10 months ago
    Thanks Mancel! I am 3rd year bachelor at the Willem the Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. I have no prior experience. I guess I am just working hard..

    good luck

    Very good!
    ....since I'm aching to learn more 3d, I'm really curious how that stream to tree transition works. I imagine it so painfully fiddly!!

    Well done.
    (Moritake may have been a great poet, but shouldn't it be "blossom" rahter than "flower"? Or is it the translation?)
  • arjuno kecil 10 months ago
    it is the translation. It is done in different ways. besides, 'flower' is a more general concept than 'blossom'. The same with 'butterfly', rather than 'Nagerhole Mime' or 'Chilasa clytia'.

    Arjuno, I highly recommend that you delete the HAIKU text from the page up there under the video...

    I saw the video embedded on another site, so I couldn't read the text in advance, and it's a lot better to have the poem revealed in the video. Since you can read the text before seeing the video here...it pretty much spoils the element of surprise.
    Best,
    Max
  • arjuno kecil 10 months ago
    You're right Max, thanks.

    what a great piece of work arjuno kecil(your name sounds so indonesia?)!!!
  •  
  • max hodges 10 months ago
    Arjuno, this is very exquisite by the way. I thought the video was very touching. You have a very exceptionally refined sense of aesthetics.

    I run a small publishing company here in Japan, maybe we can commission you to do a piece. Drop me a mail sometime. max attmark whiterabbitpress dottocom
