The failures are where you picture them.

She can be an indie animator non? All she failed at was getting in a school but that's all it is.

Maybe it’s the journey not the destination?

Well she's not alone. I'd love to se more people failing and then adapting in other creative ways. That's more inspirational and true to life

Not only 3years man your whole fking life😔

That's why she was never accepted 🥲

But, according to the subtitles they're trying to make animation, so it should be an animation school, no? They even show what's clearly supposed to be Hayao Miyazaki when talking about how this school taught famous animators (and he's one of the most well known anime directors ever so)

This is from gobelin, the best "popular-art" school in France which is the best european country for animation. In short, the best animation school in europe. The best students from this school work on all your favorite game, action movie and animation. I ain't surprised to see their students excels. It's la creme de la creme.

amo a hayao

That's exactly what I was thinking! It hit me so hard as an animator but it was so fun and wholesome as well!

Thank you

Yeah, it's been 20 years since I was in school for animation. It was rough...

A month old. But thank you😢

That's part of why so many gave up on working in the industry and why they're going the indie animation route. The industry is soulless and corporate while doing your own thing is fulfilling, thank God we're in the Golden age of indie animation and games.

You need to watch more animation if you think this is the best one

@@benchoddept.3857 The story is what puts it at the top for me, for a student film this is quite exceptional 👌

@@benchoddept.3857in terms of raw animation, this is up there

@@Merlodicaagreed! Im having a hard time thinking of any short that ive enjoyed more than this one

Same@@Merlodica

Same !!! I wonder how these people make it through it

It's my dream too! My biggest fear is that I won't make it, which is why I resonate with this video so much

Good luck and work hard! To you and everyone else who has the same ambitions! But remember! Failure means nothing as long as you forge stronger friendships that you can do anything with! Perhaps even start your own indie animation studio!

I think this is making it my dreams this is the first piece of work from gobelins ive seen, I gotta start working harder than I ever have ✌️

Even if your dream is to go to Les Gobelins, don't forget that this school is not an end in itself, but that your end is to *do what you love.* Les Gobelins is certainly one of the best ways of achieving this end (In any case, it's a way that opens many doors), but it's important to remember that it's a way *among many others.* So, even if you fail the exams to get into this school, it doesn't mean you can't achieve your ultimate goal (which is to do what you love). There will always be other schools (or other solutions) that will enable you to achieve it. That's why you should always have a plan B (Of course, this doesn't mean that if you want to go to Gobelins, you shouldn't give it your all, because there are other ways of being an animator. Indeed, if you really want to go to this school, do everything in your power to do so; however, keep in mind that it's not the end of the world if you fail the exam, as other solutions will always allow you to do the job you want (which is, let's remember, the most important goal in the story).

This is because the dubbing is done by real French voice actors. 😙

@@Daser I wasn't complementing their ability to pronounce stuff well, I was complementing their ability to act vocally. _Also, I don't speak a word of French._

​@@ZestrayswedeI think they meant that this isn't a student project and they're professional actors

@@TalisaRoberts Well, this is a student project. But Gobelins usually uses professional voice actors for them, yes.

I did too 🥺💧

It wasn't about art school or bubble tea, it was about friendship!

yeah me too, the story itself is pretty simple.... 2 friends work hard together, one fails, they fight, they make up. but the animation really conveyed the feelings in a strong way, it looks like how it feels, its not just realistic sakuga, its stylistic surreal sakuga to bring out the inner emotions of each scene! I think thats why

I got emotional at the mere showcase of how much passion was poured into this animation, it's crazy how well done this is in so many ways

the level is very good but not sure we are at ghibli level, specially regarding the art.

@@bobtornton1436 I think the coparison is very silly, since Ghibli movies have a completely different style, and one that takes an entire studio a very long time to realise.

⁠@@Emma-Mazeit’s definitely more of a shounen style but there are lots of ghibli references in gobelins movies, Fur being my favorite example

yes it is exactly what i said. I was answering to mirage 404 ^^@@Emma-Maze

Inspired more by Imaishi than Ghibli

What are you talking about 😂

@@Broviderlmao true zero correlation or in french aucun rappport

art direction also reminds me a lot of FLCL. Its basically Sakuga after Sakuga haha

@@dollha19 FLCL has some nice animation, even though I’ve only seen 1 episode of it

To be honest though, in the art industry, may it be for games, movies, graphic design, animation etc. Companies rarely ask for your study, they just want to see your portfolio

You don't have to do gobelin to succeed in animation, in fact failing the entry test doesn't even mean you are bad, just that you aren't what they are looking for. And they are not the ones that will give you a job in the end. If you try hard you will find success, but success often comes from unexpected places

Let me guess, you live in country who not really support animation. Indos wkwkw

I’m so glad you’ve been having it better now! This is definitely a very good mentality!!!! Good luck with whatever you pursue in the future!! I hope it leads you to happiness :DD

@@Blaxpoon thank you for the kind words^^ good luck to you too!

@@user-vl3pt8nq7z ... ????

Yep

Yes, you have to understand that if the judge thinks you are not good enough, maybe it's time to take action and improve something different. This also means asking more questions. Alex's best attitude should be to ask her friend, 'Teach me! Tell me, show me.' Alex's first mistake was giving up working with her friend and starting to work alone. This means her mindset is not open enough. Of course, maybe she will understand something in the end. The same applies to engineering school in France, or medicine school. Don't forget the power of questions. Take care my friends.

And Masaki Yuaasa.

I already think that this is gonna be great! :>

Agreed love the style of the animation wonder who did the animation

@@Jojo-xg2krYou can see the 5 directors as well as everyone else who worked on the film in the credits!

@@wrenwry thanks

I’m in year 5 of community college. We got this!
