Man this was amazing. So much feeling, power, beauty, mystery... maybe even more so when you don't understand the lyrics. :) The graphics were smooth, the animation fluent, and so much symbolism, always in motion, creatively morphing and moving, growing, the greed, the grievance, the sun... striving so high, thirsting for more, and falling so far.... and yet another pirate's there to pick up the pieces; fall for the temptation, again. If I'm reading it right then the animation does more than just boost the mood, but tells the story perfectly with just the imagery!
I love how the ocean's portrayed though, the nameless captain, the pace, and story. Beautiful work. Music too.
