["Jesus Christ" promo]

Phenomenal

This is one of the finest pieces of expressive and personal animation I have ever seen!
First, I applaud you for having the courage to express yourself so strongly and so freely. It takes a lot of courage to be yourself in such a conforming society. If half of the world had such strength in their convictions and values, than the world would be a much better place.
Second, the creativity of the sequence, music, and total flow of the animation is truly exceptional. It reminded me slightly of something in the movie "The Prince of Egypt..." Dark, powerful and inspiring. Yet, the piece has a modern edge and is dynamic.
Third, it would be nice if all people could review things not based on their own biases. Unfortunately, there are a few who cant. To fight these few who are biased against Christianity or any type of relion. I offer you this...Friend, this piece of animation not only demonstrates your devotion and focus on the Lord, but reminds us of the power of the Lord. Truly inspirational.
The only thing I would change is that the ending should not say "The Musical." Perhaps it could be a message to remind us of how truly awesome God is, despite his many names and dimensions.

God Bless You

Strength, Peace, Passion, and Love

For your mind, body and soul...for your life

Thank you so much sweetie! This was actually part of my portfolio for graduation. I wanted to do a personal piece for my love for Christ. Something for my own personal "sublimination".

Yeah, I definitely agree that we are living in a "cookie-cut" society. It does take a tremendous amount of self-effacing beliefs in yourself to share something so personal. This piece was a little challenging trying to figure out the best way to fit all the different titles and names of Jesus in the shape of a cross as well as animate it. This was a very fun piece to create, though.

I did have in mind that people were either going to bash this piece to pieces or love it more than enough because it showed my own personal beliefs. I just put "THE MUSICAL" at the end so that I could advertise it in some way because it was supposed to be a promotion for some fictitious advertisement. Thank you so much for your inspiration to keep living in Christ.

I love you sweetheart!
