It's another great short movie with high shooting skills.
It's a rider profile which shows the tough environment the rider face during his practice. 
The shooting skills is really outstanding. 
One of the reason is the topic helps a lot. Since the rider provides the outstanding cycling skills, for example, overhead turning with a bike, it really increases the excitement. 
With the slow motion and various views of angles, it is really eye-catching to audience.
Moreover, it used different views of angle. Close up like splashing the soil when the bike goes pass, pan with middle-shot like dipping his head when he meets a brunch covered with snow, bird-view of cycling through a desert helps describing the practice situation.
Furthermore, although there is not much really to tell, such a beautiful scenery, color and song is already worth to watch because it's a low-cost but high-quality production.

This is an excellent animation that has good story-telling skills and extraordinary aesthetic screen. 


1. Story
I was a bit confused on the first viewing but I understood more after watching few times. 
Some people were going ahead towards something initially. This leads us to follow the story to see what happen next.
The first idea come to mind is about environmental issue, esp. the melting ice in the polar. 
It is because there is a white bear laying down on an ice and floating on the sea and it seems died. Luckily, the white bear revived by the help of the butterfly. The first idea come to mind is about environmental issue, esp. the melting ice in the polar. In the beginning, the bear cut his fur. The reason behind is the increasing temperature makes the bear to cut it hair to cool down. This story maybe ask us to help bear to survive.
Although there may be misunderstanding about the story, I don't think this is a disadvantage. Meanwhile, it provides room for imagination.


2. Aesthetic
It is a beautiful 2D animation with harmony color tone which increases the mystery of story.
Moreover, the characters are special in sharp straight line while the scarf is blown softly make a contrast to the character. I guess the reason behind is to show tough-minded character.  Moreover, the skills of shooting and composition is excellent. Sense of movie is full of the screen. Combined the mysterious background music, the screens are visually-pleased.

Simple is always beautiful. I think my honour proj style can be like this, with simple characters, background and story. Making it abstract is another direction coz it increases the mystery and makes room for imagination. These two points i will bear in mind.

It is an excellent motion graphic. I love it! It's very cool.
Sounds effect and the animation is excellently matched.
Initially, the "attention" sound is repeated from high to low volume while the graphic changes from large to small with fluctuated lines. It's a cool opening coz it attracts people's eyes and ears at the same time. Then, it amplifies the "attention" sound and adds more electric sounds followed by the vivid vector graphics. The creator added many interesting scientific elements into this short motion graphic like statistic graphics (pie chart, line chart, bar chart...) to present "disruptive" feeling. In addition, the flashing frames really constitute the disruptive, scientific atmosphere.
Such presentation skills is visually-shocked and really impressive.
After watching it, I realize that beatifying the design is very important coz people will judge it by the first impression, no matter what the story/idea is. Thus, high presentation skills help a lot with the idea.
