Wow! The images of this movie are so beautiful and joyful! This is a nice concept too. This is a student project of high quality. Nice and smooth animation and creamy lighting like I love them. (

This is brilliant, a story of a girl who wishes to be of the outside world but can't due to circumstance. A masterpiece illustrating the benefit of sacrifice and the belief that we cannot have our cake and eat it too
A bright set of coloring and a gentle tone that sets the way for a pretty much happy ending that leaves us with a fondness for the character
We feel for her and hope that she will one day see those balloons without ever having to spin again.
All in all it was a good piece and beautiful message

The Artist thought this was FAIR
77 out of 79 deviants thought this was fair.
but very beautiful
This is truly wonderful, both in skill/outcome and in thought. A work of art! Well done indeed.
This is so amazing! I can't believe you did this whole thing yourself! 
I know 3D animation is a total pain in the butt but you did fantastic! Awesome job!

@02:00She is the binding of the world, the very structure of time and space, without her full effort and work, the world suffers, and even while the world is frozen and suffering, she must suffer, as she doesn't get to experience what everyone else does. I'd say if there's a story within this story, it's that there is always that single person, doing everything they can, making them self miserable, just so other people can have a thoroughly enjoyable time. Maybe she represents a mother, giving up her life for her children. I don't know, but this is truly amazingly animated, the textures are beautiful, the shading and lighting are extravagant, but mainly the models and animations flow did it for me, it is so smooth, and so realistic, like a 120 frame per second stop motion claymation movie.

I Don't know if you've been Hired for Industry Hollywood Projects but if not…You Definitely Will Be Soon! Stunning Work
I think this is simply beautiful and the whole symbolism is just I can't fully put in words how amazing this was
Why not just take the gear part of the skirt off, put it on the tower, and STILL have clothes. Would it work? I don't know
It's her dancing that helps the clock move 
I have thought about someone coming to help her and building something to help it run automatically but never wrote it out.

You captured a lot of emotions in 2 mins. Thats a lot of talent. Your hard work on this was brought to life and really, can't explain it with words. I'm currently learning to do animation and hope I can get to your level soon. You have a very good skill set.
you liked it.
Hello I am looking for an animator to do a culturally based animation of a thunderbird hunting a whale in a 2-4 minute video based on our Tseshaht Tribe’s teachings let me know by email if you can help dross@tseshhat.com
like color, form, perspective, all that good stuff. If you show you're already tackling that, they'll know you're serious
The girl, the city...the clocktower-everything
was done so beautifully!
Fantastic film, although the one thing that I think could have been done better was the music when she stepped out of the clocktower for the first time- I think the stopping of the music was a bit abrupt...
But other than that, bravo!!
