That's some smooth stop motion; I can imagine making it with paper is more demanding of one's precision. Good storytelling too.

That was sublime and deeply touching. I got caught up by the story. Its wordlessness brought to mind Lynd Ward. But Lukas Rooney in a sense made much more from much less. Thank you, clavdivs -- this is about the best post I have seen here in I don't know how long. We are in your debt.

One heck of a character animator. The amount of work that went in to this is wearying just to contemplate.

I passed the video on to our neighbors at Little Red Barn Farm Sanctuary. They have a sweet sheep named Terrence who has a prosthetic legs. The owner loved the video too.

Thanks again for drawing this to my attention.

I had to skip all the parts that looked sad, but the beginning and end were very nice.

Great animation.

The pollen is very bad in here, evilDoug. My eyes won't stop watering.

Then, if the sweaters are ugly enough, we can call ourselves the Bill Cosbys.
