Onwards - Neatorama

Onwards is a simple and elegant short film about a runner. It was created by James Jarvis and Richard Kenworthy and sponsored by Nike.

Odd, but cute, and very well animated. I like his head :P

I would love to have that soundtrack to listen to when I run. While I tire of advertising be the channel of interesting animation, I appreciate Nike for sponsoring this.

nicely done, though i spent more time wondering how much of it was 2D and how much was 3D.

@psulli - I share your feelings, but money makes the world go 'round and patronage of art is as old as art itself.

As for the "Air Hanky" (soon to be branded by Nike), would you prefer he use his shirt?

As a runner, I can attest that the snot rocket is very necessary.

I thought this video was very boring... a whole minute of stretching? Is that really necessary to animate?

Poor little yellow creature - all alone after civilization collapse except for her reflection and the big yellow sun head monster which eats her!

That's a really boring muppet.

See, this is why I don't run. Putting up with all that unpleasantness, and in the end, you've got nothing!

Yawn.
