KOKORO video
Woot! After much, MUCH work, and 83 drawings, I made my first video that includes my own art work! *Yaaaaay!* With a song that’s over 6 minutes long, and is sung in a language from a country on the other side of the world, I knew in the beginning this would probably be a LOT of work… But, *oy.* what a headache. The finished project, now on YouTube is 7 and a half minutes long.
The song is one I found long ago, sung by the VOCALOID system. The story of the song, and my video combined is that a young boy lost his sister and builds a robot in her image. Unfortunately, that robot has no genuine emotions – no “heart”. The boy dies trying to create an artificial heart for her.
Several hundred years after his death, the robot becomes curious of the unfinished program. When she programs herself, the wave of emotions unleashes her tears and a singing voice. The robot sends a message to the scientist and her past self, her lovely song programming her past self with a second heart. Shortly after, the heart crushes her system, the size and weight too much for her. At the last second she smiles and stops moving.
Wow Devon, this is really cute!
Great job!

Hi Devon, I am a friend of Janet and Dan’s and also a friend of Autistry Studios – this is a huge piece of work you’ve accomplished and a very cool story – sad and happy at the same time. What a lot of creativity went into this. I like the music a lot, too.
Thanks!
Devon,
That’s a pretty awesome video. I loved the special effects on the film that went with the story–and it was a great story!
Your robot and drawings remind me a bit of Teen Titans. (My girls loved Teen Titans!)
Devon,
You did an amazing job! I know how much work you put in to this project both @ Autistry studios, and @ home. I can’t wait to see your next project.

Hi Devon,
I’m a friend of Janet and have followed many of the wonderful projects of Autistry Studios. Your project was truly amazing. The depth of emotions that came to life on your video was inspiring. I loved it!
Hi, Devon — I had to wait until I had high-speed internet to see your movie, but it’s GREAT! I love the expressions you’ve been able to show in your drawings. Please make more!
