Simple Stories. Amazing Stories.

I found these videos a while ago while getting lost in the depths of Youtube. Check them out.






These videos, although short and simple, are interesting because they convey a story, and have a character that the viewer cares about.

In the video "The Guardian", viewers are invested in the boy because he appears normal, but has the tremendous task of saving the sprites from the evil guy with the monocle. The character is both relatable because he appears normal, but awesome because he can fly (at the end), and beat the bad guy.
"The Guardian" is also pretty awesome just because of the music. Is epic-celtic-viloin a new genre?

The video "Alight" is the story of a boy made of fire, and a girl made of water. The viewer cares about these two characters because they are cute (check out this video on cuteness), and because they seem good-intentioned. Unfortunately, the girl gets killed, which makes the viewer sad. The fire boy then proceeds to take revenge. The ending doesn't really make any sense, but that doesn't matter because the feeling is conveyed. How did you feel after seeing the video? Chances are its something like: 'woah, that puts stuff into perspective', 'hopeful', 'slightly downcast', or maybe just 'what?'. However you felt about it, the message was conveyed.

I should have a video coming out about making that color video soon, if not, I'm also working on a tilt-shift video.
