Dear Tracy. Which poems were inspiring you to make ones on your own? Respectfully, Alen.

I love this rawness: how all of these characters are connected in some way: yet have seperate lives and Rocky back saying a poem (while I don't understand the meaning): I love how it's a destiny everyone will face (both known and unknown for better or worse?)

AHHH THIS IS SO COOL!!! Even though this won't be finished it's clear the thought and effort that went into it!!! I always love seeing the process behind animation! :D

It's using the concept of the islands that come and go (a real phenomenon of the river) as allegory for something else.

The Lonely Sand Person

Is this purely metaphorical or does it reference an actual island? I know the Mississippi builds and washes away islands all the time, but...

Jim Healy

Rocky certainly loves a nice bridge.

ENCORE! ENCORE!!

It really is even more impressive as a narrated montage. It not only sets the tone and establishes one of the story's main narrative throughlines, but also ties part of the core cast together in a way that simultaneously characterizes each of them by juxtaposing their visual cutaways with relevant lines of the poem. It's honestly both beautiful and efficient storytelling, where every single shot is meaningful on its own, and even more so as part of the sequence as a whole. Truly incredible work. I can't wait to see the final version, either.

So cool to see behind-the-scenes stuff like this; I'm glad the poem will live on in its own special way!

Oh I cannot wait to see this scene fully animated and rendered!! Just curious, was a release date for the 1st episode of the series ever announced at all?

Absolutely beautiful work guys! Rocky’s poem was amazing, I love the montage of different characters. And how it shows Rocky is aware of both his and those around him situation. The direction was really fun too! And wonderful animation and art as always. Again phenomenal work!
