This is your best work yet, Tom. Poetic Anarchy. I particularly like how your "harlequin" figure has evolved into an ambiguous figure of dangerous heroism. And the sound was excellent! I'm so glad you are making films, Tom. Your continuing exploration of themes and images arean inspiration to me!

Hey Tom, another great film! I even preferred it to Cirque du Machinima. Keep up the good work!

Really mind-blowing, Tom, in the arena of both visuals and ideas. Your work has always shown a particular agility in dancing between two and three dimensions... but you've outdone yourself in that regard here.

The art of this piece is staggering. I am particularly inspired by your unconventional choices with regard to 3d textures (i.e. the fish skinned with a map). Touches like that really contribute to the unique look of a Jantol work.

One suggestion I would make. When dealing with relatively larger blocks of text, such as at the beginning and end of this film, in some cases it might be strategically advantageous to break the text into smaller pieces... presenting them as "bites" rather than the whole plate of food, if you catch my meaning. This enables you to better control emphasis, as well as keep a sense of some pace during these moments so they lose some of their "stop and read the placard" feel. The other advantage to this is purely in terms of "digestion" by the viewer, taking a bit of a cue from subtitling conventions (which display a limited number of words on screen at one time, thus facilitating faster reading than if that text were presented in larger blocks).

Keep up the spectacular work, Tom. No one else is pushing the artistic possibilities of machinima-rooted anymation to the degree you are doing... and I know for a fact that you are an inspiration to many, including me.

I know enough now Tom, to leave watching your films until I have the time and space to react. This is astonishing and wonderful. Your animation is like music, bypasses logic and jumps straight to the emotion.
Very nearly perfect, I had some issue with the text fonts you used midway through. They seemed to jar somehow against the feel of the rest of the piece.
Agree with everyone's positive comments above, and very glad you are still with us :)

Mindblowing Tom!

A strong visceral response to this film. I am hooked and want to see more.

Beautiful work!

WOW - I am a year behind, just having see this - but WHAT A TREAT! Your work is stunning.
