It's more of an animation to the simpliest degree.



My comment:

The animation had a lot to improve on, but the storyline was actually touching. As for the music, it was pretty much fitting with a happy mood until towards the end in which you people will see. 8.5/10.

Description:
I made this short photo film for my film class. It's made out of 100+ photos which I edited with photoshop and put together in windows movie maker. You'll probably notice that the cartoons are from Maple Story. Last but not least, the song you're listening to is Mocca - I Remember.

Everything else is kind of listed in the credits (ignore the music credit for the intro, that's for the menu screen of the dvd)

oh yeah, if you're wondering who's that in the photo at the end, it's me trying to look like the guy xDDD (btw, I'm a girl xD)



Meaning Behind Shooting Star::
there's a deeper meaning behind this story
if you guys are wondering
it's basically about
reality versus fantasy
and how the girl in the video lives in a fantasy world
expecting to fall in love and live happily ever after
by meeting up with her old boyfriend
but she doesn't expect the unexpected
so when she ends up going back to her old hometown
to find her old boyfriend
she ends up dieing by getting shot by her old boyfriend
who doesn't recognize her at all until he sees her cry when she gets hit
just like how she cried when she fell as a child after getting hit by him
this also portrays the guy's personality
and how he doesn't change his bad ways after many years later
and in the end, pays for not stopping his bad habits
the video plays with the idea of reality and fantasy
by portraying the cartoon as a fantasy
and at the end, the reality part by showing real photos
the two puzzles pieces in the end again
portrays reality and fantasy
because one looks real while the other looks like a cartoon
and the reason why it's a puzzle piece
is because sometimes pieces of different puzzles
don't fit together
just like reality and fantasy

Hmm...well, the animation does need some work, but seeing how it was all pictures, frame by frame might have been asking for a little too much

Not bad, good job to the one that made it.
