The song is "Time's Scar" by Yasunori
Mitsuda, from Chrono Cross. This piece was inspired by Japanese paintings and also served as a means of practising hand animation.
This animation was created with the help of 3D support, which was in turn traced in Flash. The animation was made for a contest and was also an experiment of using 3D support for animation.
This was the last animation I made, being an experiment to see how I could mix a written poem with an animation playing in the background. The poem is there to tell the story.
