Gift of Agesby `JohnSu

Flash / Animations

Gift of Ages is an animation I made in about a week and a half for my church's Christmas program.

Ah, there's so much to say about this one, but I somehow feel that explaining it will make it weaker. I should hope that the piece is strong enough to stand on its own without my having to prop it up with words.

And so for some of you I might have ruined Christmas. But to everyone else, I hope you've enjoyed this presentation and that it brings new meaning to the secular symbols we see annually.

Programs used: Flash 8, openCanvas, 3D Studio Max, and Sound Forge. All 3D work was done by my brother Brian (thanks!), and the music is Chopin's Etude in E major Op.10 No.3.

EDIT: I've read all your responses but haven't replied to them all since...there are a lot. Anyhow, in general, I appreciate how much some of you are moved by it, and I'm also impressed with how open-minded the rest of you are in receiving it. Thanks, guys. Merry Christmas.

Gift of Ages by *JohnSu This beautifully crafted piece was suggested more times than I can count. Please read the artist's description to learn more about it. Regardless of one's spiritual beliefs, the passion behind this work is obvious and the artistic merit is certainly appreciated. ( Suggested by ~EnigmaticEmpress and Featured by `FallenRox )

I just wanted to let you know that I've watched this video every Christmas season for the past few years. It never ceases to touch my heart, to remind me of the gift of our Savior. Thank you, and Merry Christmas!!
