INFINIT8, The Superhero Of The Century

Vibrant and heart warming story with a purpose. I really enjoyed this unique adventure with a heart warming ending!

Hi Isla, congratulations on the completion of the story and on being one of the best storyreels of the last exhibition. You should be proud of yourself! I like your story, I like the way you tell it from the parents' point of view and in the head of the main character through a parallel editing. The world building within the main character is great, I love the way it contrast with the hospital looking clinical. The drawings are also very nice, with a good consistent style, you could hang them on the wall like paintings. The message is also great, most of us don't end up in a coma in the hospital (thankfully), but an inner voice trying to discourage or even stop you is recognizable. I find it a hopeful message, if someone in a coma can overcome themselves and their discouraging inner voice, then I as a viewer and the rest of the audience can overcome ourselves and the discouraging inner voice in other situations as well. Thank you for this story! Curious to see what other stories you will tell in the future!

This story has a very good foundation. The art work is very good, clear and simple. The characters need more development for me but they were engaging and had clear personalities. I would have like to see more battle with the villain to achieve the goal and I’m not sure what made him slip after making so much progress so maybe a little more context and exposure to the internal battle. Great job!

A powerful story! The journey Eloy goes on is very compelling and inspiring. You show the importance of someone's thoughts, and how we can overcome the biggest challenge we will ever face: ourselves. I love the use of colors, they help tell the story, letting the reds and yellows draw our attention to what is important. The biggest victories come after the hardest struggles, so I appreciate that Eloy has to struggle a long time and work hard to get what he wants. It took him a year! A very inspiring and visually beautiful story!

Great story! Eloy's journey was interesting to follow along and the setback he suffered toward the end really put me on edge, nice resolution as well. Loved the visuals!

Hello Isla! I am glad to watch another of your great stories! I loved the idea of the ego and idea of the subconscious world. Also loved the moral of the story and your description about trusting yourself. And, of course, the watercolour art pieces were amazing. After watching the story, I have questions that make me think your Infinito would work greatly in a longer format of story. Questions like How the relationship with his family became so strong? Was the Ego also speaking with Eloy before the accident? Did his inner voice struggle to follow the light everytime? Congratulations!

I am so glad you were able to complete the story when it's been in your mind for the past 5 years. It must be so rewarding! Your story shows that you have worked so hard and it's has such an important message. So, I am going to write the feedback like you were doing a final more edit just in case you want to take the story further: - I feel like there are some narration that may be uncessary like 0:42 when he says "it runs as smooth as butter." Maybe some scenes of him enjoying the ride can be enough, some nice scenery he is passing (though the con of this means more visual illustration work) - 0:48 - I didn't understand exactly how the accident happened but I see now that the red car was likely trying to pass the truck? Also, was the motorcyclist in the wrong lane? If not, the street lines need to be solid (dash means that both lanes go in the same direction, so that's why I thought the motorcyclist was maybe in the wrong lane). I would also show another image of the car halfway getting out from the back of the track to indicate more motion - and it helps the audience see more the accident that's about to happen. - at 2:03 - I would include a fade or something to insinuate that you have gone into the mind. I quickly later picked up we were in the conscious, but this can help with a nice transition. - 2:06 - LOVE the shake effect for the ego talking!! These are just a few tweaks you could consider. Overall, I enjoyed this story and it's a reminder how much we hold ourselves back in many situations. Thanks for sharing your story! (I want to share a fond memory you reminded me from your story. When I was in 7th grade, I had a female biology teacher who I really cared for. She was really kind, supportive of my art even in a science class, and cool because she owned serpents and rode motorcycles. Unfortunately, she passed away in a motorcycle accident. However, it wasn't her passion that killed her but just a crappy road situation. I think if she had lived, she would definitely have continued to ride her bike in style just like your character.) :D

To make the bike seem fast it might be good to start with them without the bike for a short bit, so we as an audience can feel their longing for speed and love of the fast bikes. After the ordeal Eloy has gone through, and that his family and loved ones have gone through, I'd like to see them put on a helmet in the last scene so we can see how the experiences have changed them just a bit, but not changed their love for speed!

Wow, I have to say, the artwork in this piece is absolutely fantastic! Each frame is filled with such detail and creativity, really drawing the viewer in from start to finish. I also want to commend the narration—it's done so well and adds a whole other layer to the storytelling. It really helps bring the characters and their emotions to life. And those sound effects! They're just phenomenal. They enhance the overall atmosphere and make the viewing experience even more immersive. I have to say, I absolutely love the ego character. The way they play the role of the obstacle throughout is just brilliant. If I may offer a suggestion, and of course, it's just my personal preference, I would consider making the ego character super friendly at first, or even friendlier. That way, when they reveal themselves as the enemy, it'll hit the audience even harder, adding an extra emotional punch to the story. Overall, amazing job! You've truly created something special here, and I can't wait to see more of your work in the future.
