Whisk: Chapter 1: A Restless Night
Description
The first chapter of my very own original tale starring my principal character named Whisk. He is a creature woven out of burlap and threaded together with love. He represents the innocent and naive in a harsh world he knows little about. His love for his creator and mother, a six-year-old witch, named Brumehilda Meltwater, is the one connection he is certain of, and his only recollection of pure happiness. When his mother is viciously taken from him, her vow to bring him to life is complete, for the loss he feels is enough to animate him fully. He sets out on a journey to regain her love and companionship. The journey of Whisk is one where he will never give up hope. Again this is the first chapter of my story in the form of puppet animation. I hope to meet fellow puppet animators as passionate about the art form as I am and take my story even further!

Hi John and Gustavo. Sorry for the late response. I just wanted to thank both of you for your incredibly kind words. John, I really appreciated your assessment of my film. I respect you quite a bit sir, so your feedback is very much appreciated. I do agree with you that there are some "not-so-clear" points and an explanation would help. Gustavo, thank you so much for saying the piece looks professional, that means a great deal to me, however when I come back to this story I hope to be a much better animator, or perhaps work with great animators that could really help me tell all of my story in a somewhat refined way. I believe seeing this film in it's entirety is the only way it can be fully understood so I really hope to tell the entire tale one day. I can't say when exactly, but I've made an oath to myself to tell it at least before I kick the bucket. John, your comment about "Whisk" showing I have great promise as a filmmaker literally made my day! Again thank you both and keep in touch!! Thank you, Bradly

Hello. This is really wonderful. Are you doing the series on your own?. It looks so professional, good animation, excellent photography. The set has so many details. I want to see what's next.

Hi Bradly, I like "A Restless Night" - it shows that you have great promise as a filmmaker. Sad Whisk is appealing ( I love the effective hand to forehead bit). Nice titles and much effective visual technique - and a good soundtrack with effective use of music. I would have liked to see a clarifying (short) title preceeding the movie (or brief narration) because - without your above "description" it's hard to understand the situation - the visual storytelling is good but perhaps a bit subtle. Nice work!

Hi John, Thank you for your compliment. This is actually only chapter one of a story I hope to tell in full.

Beautiful quality throughout -- not quite sure about the narrative though...
