The first few moments of this feature reminded me of the answers someone might give at an interview. Painted with some positive imagery, the narration tells us about what can be down, will be done, can be achieved etc. Then the narration ceases and the imagery becomes distinctly more downbeat. That malaise sets in - especially for the rather sad looking match at the end. It's quite an interesting animation, this - not great in terms of style, but it does work quite well at illustrating changes in the human mood - optimism and pessimism. Worth six minutes, I'd say.
