In an animated world of costumed creatures of all sizes, a power struggles emerges.
For some, it's a matter of survival. For others, it's a world of self-serving progress, putting others to work for what they perceive as a righteous cause. Through these trials emerge a distinct code of stoicism, struggle, and individuality. But for every benevolent soul, there is a wicked shadow close by, often within the soul itself. In this first episode, we see an individual giant progressing forward on the back of his miniature subjects. Tyranny always works in this fashion, riding on the suffering of others so you can move forward to what you view as a utopian goal. All will suffer, even the soul, which is not permitted to continue the journey to the heavens. Instead, the angel is stripped of his wings, which are consumed, and placed back to work. To serve the giant in power is their function. Breaking backs, enslaving souls.. Cometh Utopia!
This is a new animated series by Patrick Smith, exclusively on YouTube. Each episode is a step in a journey of metaphorical self discovery, experimentation, and expression. There is a Giant in us all.. How you choose to control it, defines who you are.
"Tiny Giants" is a traditionally animated 2D series of short films. Technically, I use Adobe Animate, and I draw on a Wacom Cintiq. It's pretty much a one man show here, but I do need to thank my fantastic wife, and producer Kaori Ishida. I also want to thank the brilliant composer for this episode, @jackpiercecomposer, his score really guided the story and pacing of this piece. I would also like to thank all my Youtube members, as well as Patreon supporters.. despite being a small group, your support is very inspirational and keeps me going when I'm starting to feel the burn. Stay tuned for Episode 2, which I'm currently working on!
