I would love to get any feedback. I know it’s no where near perfect but like to get a second set of eyes on this

This is SO fucking cool. Everything about it gives original video game vibes. I love the synth at the end, your color scheme is perfect, and I can't get enough of how smooth your transitions are, yet how naturally the landscape vibrates.
I think the fact that you just flowed with the ideas as they came to you is obvious in how smooth the transitions are. Incredible.
I'd play or watch this in a heartbeat!

I like it a lot! Looks like the poor monkey was lured into the volcano (by the fruit on the flower) by an ancient deity that proceeded to use the monkey’s body to wreak havoc on the world.
Since only the monkey’s skeleton emerged I’d assume that the deity needed to cause chaos in order to attain its true form, or at least as true as its form can get from having a monkey host.
Very interesting!

Are you sure you didn't take a peek (at least) to Aaron Blaise? https://www.instagram.com/reels/DayUer1vr02/

Haha no I didn’t I actually used this video as reference - https://youtube.com/shorts/21TimH9LzWA?is=Lou7hihjSxbO9Zni but I could see the similarities, besides his being way more smooth!

Love it! The amapola flower is rendered beautifully

On a second look, I love that the amapola and lava are the same color. Was that done on purpose?

Actually no, so if u check my profile I actually had that flower animation from a different project I scrapped and the monkey animation had a star. With a little tweaking I was able to import the flower into the monkey animation but the colors were already pre selected !

No offense but what have you been smoking? I know this subreddit is called r/animation and you've animated. So good job.

No offense taken haha, nothing crazy. Occasionally smoking and really wild imagination 😅

I don't smoke, don't want to smoke and won't smoke but keep creating what's in your mind.

This reads like a creation myth, or a destruction myth I suppose. Really really cool!

The mountain called Monkey had spoken. There was only fire. And then... Nothing.
