I wonder how many fans Masashi Kawamura had to draw on for the Summer one.

I can always enjoy some creative stop-motion. This was very cute. I loved the seasonal theme using different objects for each one, and the musical pieces were great.

The stop motion animation is so cute but I want to see how they made it because it seems like it needs alot of time and effort to finish that short

You could scroll down on the video page and see production pictures to get a taste of the amount of work that went into the production process.

Also, here is a video I found.

That was certainly one of the best ones so far. Excellent stop-motion anime.

Well-done stop-motion is always an impressive thing to behold, but otherwise it was just some fluff.

That was staggering. For spring I was like "animated bentou, cute"; for summer I was thinking "that's a lot of fans"; but fall was just mindblowing: I just can't imagine someone animating every little leaf like that. And winter was soothing and hypnotic at the same time. A piece of art.

So cute and creative. Definitely one of the best episodes from Animator Expo

All 4 seasons were awesome, but I think the Spring one was my favourite, even though animators shouldn't play with their food!

That was cute. I don't mind the ones without a plot like this since it was relaxing and fun to watch. I really liked the summer and fall parts. I appreciate the amount of work that went to making this ~8 minute short.

Lmao what I was thinking ...

Really cool stop motion though, must've been a big amount of work before this was finished, the amount of items used / re-used etc.

It was nice to see some stop-motion animation! I'm currently taking an animation class at college, and I've been doing similar types. These were cute and creative; I especially liked the cup animation. I do wonder how much money was spent on each cup!

Wow, very creative piece, not to mention it was all done by hand. They really captured the very essence this series is about.

I don't even want to think about how much time they had to put into this.

Well, isn't this unique. Stop motion, really? It's a wonder how they did the shadows, that's incredible on top of being ridiculously charming. What's also amazing is how the boy is animated using different objects in each portion of the short, characterized by what season he's currently in. I think my favorite part is the winter sequence where the snowballs were being rolled up as the tea cup is being spun. A lot of hard work went into this short. My goodness.

I loved how they used different mediums for each season. It was cute but I can't help but imagine the massive amount of time and objects they used for this ,_,

I suppose that this is an example of animators loving their work~

Not my kind of kind. Looked nice.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

I recognize the talent and effort that had to go into making this short, but I didn't enjoy it...at all.
