Never come between a man and his dinner

Entertainment vs Survival! How mankind's primary objective changed through the course of time.
-
One day i want to animate this good...wow
-
Dude that arrow scene was breathtaking. Also i like how almost everything is blue, the cool pallette really made me feel all cool. Amazing camera work and expressive animation. Too good
-
This is amazing! I love how different the two characters are and how it takes a near death experience for the skier to have a quiet reflective moment. Very well done!
-
The movements and the backgrounds are PHENOMENAL
-
That natural realistic movement when standing up out of the snow, Brilliant!
-
Omg I absolutely LOVE the cinematography that was put into this short film. From the blurring of the face until the man turned around and the way you incorporated v cams as well as layered movement. This is why I subscribed to your channel. You make great tips and it shows that you know what your doing. Well done man 👍🏿
-
Im in an animation class at my highschool so your work is really inspiring😊spectacular job
-
The Sakuga is real I’m this. You did a great job with this. You must be very proud of yourself.

Watch the 3-part documentary about the making of this short animated film - Behind encounter: Phase 1: https://youtu.be/k69dz1kb5eA About the SOFTWARE I use in the video: The main software I'm using to actually animate frame by frame is called TVPaint. Here's more information on that: www.tvpaint.com/ It's a great software :) I use Adobe photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, Audition and sometimes Animate. (my affiliate link to these apps tinyurl.com/v7fvqgo) And if you need a Graphics tablet, I highly recommend this one for you ballers out there: geni.us/vy8xUZB It's the best tablet money can buy :) And here's a great low-low cost alternative: geni.us/LLYv

it feels like the true master and serenity of the environment gave him an epiphany. I truly felt that zen moment.
-
The way you cut between both characters in the beginning was Great! I love how it presents the two completely different experiences/mindsets occurring within the same environment, and how it was emphasized by the sudden transitions.
-
Oh the heartbeat stopped. This is so good. Good job. I have waited to watch this short and it was beautiful
-
You can feel the impact of every movement, incredible
-
I just wanna day thank you Mr. Howard for helping me get better at and improve my own skills in art and animation, you’ve given me a lot inspiration and helped make art fun again
-
Loved the ending! also loved the loose and perspective warping effect.
-
I saw this on the Livestream but I might as well watch it again! It's super cool!
-
There's something so special about animated films, it's such a feat, willing an entire world for beings to inhabit into existence line by line. Idk live action can be cool but I feel like its never as beautiful and cohesive as animated.
-
Incredible! The dynamic action shots were so engaging and flowing! I’m so awe-inspired, great work!
