Very well done video. I know how much work went into making it. I really took note of the subtlety of movements by the characters…scratching nose, lifted eyebrows, checking time, careful watching , although obliquely, of Father by the businessman; fluidity of Father’s blessings, etc. The children hugging Father Gabriel was touching. I’ve seen this in real life! And of course, the man finally seeking Father’s blessing for himself…and more, sitting at last by his side in conversation. Who knows where that might lead….
Thank you Nicholas!

August 30, 2023 at 4:13 pmHello Dean. Thank you very much for your comments. I’m very glad you noticed the subtlety of the characters animations. I knew that since Father Gabriel’s Blessing had no dialog, I had to rely on body language and facial expressions to tell a story and express the feelings and personalities of these characters. I actually put a lot of my own personality into the characters, so when you’re watching the characters you’re see a lot of me in them 🙂 I’m very glad you enjoyed Father Gabriel’s Blessing, makes me very happy!

I watched the video a couple of times and it’s absolutely beautiful!! I have no words to describe it!! It gives you such a calm feeling and hope. I had tears in my eyes!! You transmit through your video exactly the feeling that you find in the church, like you are in the arms of the Lord! May God repay your effort and help you continue and also get financial support for your wonderful work!!
I watched the video with my daughter Euphemia who’s 7 years old and she loved it also!! Congratulations for your work!! Absolutely beautiful!!!
