A dance with the departed

This was made by Ryan Woodward. And it's beautiful. He made a Google doodle once too.

The last moment of the .gif has some many feels stuffed in to it.

I remember that this was a video. Anyone happen to know which video it is?

porntipsgazzardo · 2012-10-04T13:01:05+00:00

Must come from the same alternate universe as the Take On Me video.

Hoodooz39 · 2012-10-04T12:44:40+00:00

Reminds me of this short video that brings on so many feels.

intensenerd · 2012-10-04T14:17:41+00:00

I love this and hate this. Reminds me of losing my mom to cancer and my dad being so alone afterwards. They were together 20 years when she was taken from us. Serious rush of feelings this morning.

Melodic_Ninja · 2012-10-04T12:00:51+00:00

That is beautiful.

KaemonRose · 2012-10-04T15:01:12+00:00

Even just this little bit forced a lump in my throat. Can't imagine watching the rest.

Also, listening to The Hollows by Why? probably didn't help.

jf894 · 2012-10-04T17:15:13+00:00

this is very nicely done it really speaks words on how death is more painful for the living rather then the dead because the living have to try to let go but yet we hold on.

revoopychris · 2012-10-04T12:18:06+00:00

Looks like one or two frames are missing or is awkward without the music.

jellybonez · 2012-10-04T13:40:34+00:00

Would love to see the same gif, but with crumping.

strawicky · 2012-10-04T14:15:07+00:00

Beautiful

CosmicPube · 2012-10-04T14:29:21+00:00

Take....On.....ME!

SquishyCrayon · 2012-10-04T14:43:21+00:00

Awww

Animatronia · 2012-10-04T14:54:30+00:00

Awesome, I'd watch a whole movie of that.

viktorpedia · 2012-10-04T15:14:42+00:00

Here's the link to the entire sequence

SuitcaseInPoint · 2012-10-04T15:36:55+00:00

So beautiful

intrepiddaydream · 2012-10-04T15:38:16+00:00

I clicked the link hoping it would have something to do with the movie. But I was pleasantly surprised when this was it. Very moving

Derp-herpington · 2012-10-04T15:58:41+00:00

so sad and depressing but it still made my day. thank you OP

stginger · 2012-10-04T18:25:13+00:00

It's beautiful and such a marvelous song; if you watch the entire video it shows how the entire thing (song/video) is about his battle with alcoholism while keeping his relationship intact...until it isn't anymore.

saratoby · 2012-10-04T18:40:52+00:00

Made me cry. fuck.

stymer · 2012-10-04T20:11:33+00:00

put to "this woman's work" cover by Greg Laswell. Teared up on first view.

MrLeapingLemur · 2012-10-04T20:25:35+00:00

How did I not pick up on that while I was watching the animation? :S (the departed part)

Robubie · 2012-10-04T21:07:13+00:00

This is the most depressing stretch Armstrong gif I have ever seen.

kwayte · 2012-10-04T21:08:38+00:00

one of my favorite animations.

Penisology · 2012-10-05T01:02:50+00:00

As someone who's fiance recently passed away, this gif is an incredibly accurate depiction of my life

Kudos to the creator of this, I'm fucking bawling

Faedia · 2012-10-05T01:34:43+00:00

I don't know why, but this reminds me of a So You Think You Can Dance dance by Mia Michaels. Never fails to make me cry.

(Technically, it's supposed to be about a break up, but I think you can also easily interpret it as the girl having passed away)

Char1ieScene · 2012-10-05T05:03:31+00:00

And it makes me miss her so much more than i already do.

Hate to be the one who says this but at first thought it was water bending.

BRO, YOUR ARM JUST GOT SUPER LONG.
