Lady Jellyfish (CalArts 2023)

This was awesome 🎉🎉🎉 I know I can definitely relate ❤

I don't story what's wrong with her9

Great animation. Message to young people: Don't be too hard on yourselves. You're young and trying to determine who you are and what you want to do in life. Find out who you are and what drives you. It's okay to have some fun every now and then, just remember that you're on a mission to discover who you are and what you want to do. It has never been my experience to work for a national/global corporation. Hollywood makes corporate America look appealing. Some people are money driven, some people are egotistically driven, some people are caring, some people are sharing. Just remember that you have plenty of time and the rest of your life ahead of you. Although, tomorrow is NOT promised to anyone, so make the best of today. Don't take yourself so seriously all the time. Be able to laugh at yourself. Allow your funny bone to be tickled by good humor. Laughter is medicine. No one is perfect. No one has a true guide book on how to live YOUR life, but you. Do what makes you happy. Seek wisdom and understanding in ALL things. You cannot love others if you don't first love yourself. Side notes: Time heals ALL wounds. Too much of a good thing can be a bad thing. Take everything in moderation. Take a step back and evaluate your situation. Believe in yourself, in spite of what family, friends, frenemies, society may think of you. If you're unhappy at your current place of occupation, then look for something that better suits you. This is YOUR world. You 're an integral part of it. Change is good. As you grow older, your values and sentiments change. You become wiser. Then lo and behold, a new generation of young people will emerge searching for their footing in the world. Have the courage to be YOURSELF.

F for the animation but A for the story.

Also wait a fucking second, you wear a mask out to the grocery store but not the goddamn club full of people??????

Most of my family eats jellyfish so this didn’t really resonate with me in the way I feel like it did for everyone else watching

Felt

so this is the granddaughter of "hey good looking"

Not sure why but this made me cry a little. Well done!!

This is me i was like this OMG

i luv this sm 🥹🩵🎀

Fire video🔥, I just learned a lesson about wasting ur left on the internet

the all too familiar existential crisis

I identify with her, so much. Even in the appearance of her...Good job it's hypnotizing! 💕

Didn't really catch my eye and don 't really feel connection here. Story is too short to understand. Childhood? Family? straight up boring.

❤

I love this!!!! So relatable and inspiring♡ thank you for this!!! I hope to see more❤

She has no job… but where does she get the money for makeup and partying, the apartment, etc? Student loans?

That was good ❤

She smokes wich means shes going to die of lung cancer

nice

Loved the imagery. It's nice seeing a story that's just about the little mundane struggles of life sometimes, y'know? Wasn't expecting this one to hit me deeply, but it did. Simple, subtle and a bit of a slow-burn and so relatable. Great short!

this is beautifully made and i relate to it alot <3

Man, being an adult sucks almost all the time. There is just so much to do, i don't wanna, but if I don't nobody's going to take care of me. I want my dad back and a emotionaly available mother. Barely any hope left. I need friends but I'm scared. I need closure. I need love, to love. It's soo alone.

What’s wrong been ordinary

girl get tf outta the ROAD theres 3 seconds left on the crossing timer.

Im in love with her character design!!!

GO TRANS WOMANNNN !!!

Don't know.

A very long stretch of the main plot and a completely empty ending in a couple of seconds.
People do not change so quickly, impulsively getting used to living; they do not immediately change their behavior from one impulsive thought.

The ending where the character says that he doesn’t want to be like everyone else, and later succumbs to depressive thoughts and agrees to become ordinary to please other people is not a happy ending at all.

The theme of jellyfish is not covered, to be honest, I don’t understand the insertion about them in the plot. If this is a reference to the fact that young graduates believe that they will live forever, and then are faced with the fact that we are all mortal, I did not see this in the plot.

However, the author's style and character design are very good.

I wish you success.

The jellyfish being “immortal, if lucky enough” is such a pretty line!!

Boi wtf💀

I really love the shot when she heard music with earphone

very nice, lots of work

Hey Artemis you ever thought about meeting a white person in California maybe?
lol 100% white team would probably guarantee your imprisonment, but 100% chinese is just so very diverse

uummh al final yo crei que era que no tenia para pagar el taxy...traduciendo los comenarios fue que pude entender. In the end I thought it was because she didn't have the money to pay the taxi...translating the comments was what I was able to understand.

me fr

+

I like how she thanked her cat and mom in thr special thanks section

Lady jellyfish? Right on! 🪼🌊📽🎥🎞🎬

The main character reminds me of the character design of Nana and Paradise Kiss ❤

a flashing lights warning would be greatly appreciated

This is so weird considering myself a huge fan of jellyfish and indeed i draw them everywhere …

Getting a job after 🎓 is hard, i tell you.

5 minutes of waste

nice story

so lovely
