ON MY STOOP - Erin and Her Cello

Your cello video homage is beautifully crafted and enjoyable.The simplicity of your story and graphics are touching. Nice Work.

Hand drawn music videos are rare these days because it's so incredibly time consuming. I love the way you gave each animal life and personality. It was unpretentious and sweet, and you created a very cute world. The juxtaposition with live action was lovely with the colors you chose. I especially like the etch quality in the beginning. I read a comment that suggested the whole video being that way, and while I agree it would have been beautiful, I know from experience that it would have taken forever. I think you handled the transition nicely.
I only wish the quality was a bit better so I could watch it the way it was meant to be seen! Great work - 5!

Loved the concept, the sound and the background. And it entertains.

Crackling sounds must be audio artifacts from the file conversion. Video quality was a bit jaggy in parts, but great animation, song, and performance.

like it
definitely needs more cowbell, err, I mean cello!

Beautiful video. I thought the elegant, clean, spare quality of the animation matched the music perfectly. The only thing that would make the video work better for me would be fewer mouth shots, as these didn't add any new visual information after the first shot and i would rather have seen more of the singer's facial expressions, more of the cello, or more of the wonderful animation.

Loved it!
have watched it several times and it only gets better
cannot wait to see more of your work
Bravo!

Love your style Andrea! This animation makes me smile :-) It's fun, clever, and entertaining every time I watch.

These drawing are amazing, they are simple and very graceful. It is a very light and smart way to make a stylish and playful video.
really beautiful

Lo lindo no se analiza, se disfruta...
Felicidades,

The beauty is not discussed, only appreciated ...
Congratulations.

What extraordinary animation. Andrea Lira is not only talented and gifted, but it is also evident that she creates from the depth of her heart. I look forward to seeing more of her videos.

I still gave it a 5, but I really should have deducted a point because there is no video whatsoever of the cello solo towards the end of the song. That seems a real liability to a video that promotes itself as "the great cellist" Erin and Her Cello. I kept waiting for the cello solo to appear. It never did. You could still use blend modes to composite the birds flying with the cello being played. If that were added, I think that this video could see huge success. Yes, there are bluescreen issues and other things that I see, but I think overall most people will forgive those issues because it's so cute. But without showing Erin and Her Cello (as billed), I think that there is far less chance. But I give it 5 cows anyway, just because I like the idea and most of the execution -- and because I am a real softie when it comes to groups like The Weepies and Erin and Her Cello. Hey, I like almost every kind of music, even the really cute kind.
