Any constructive feedback is much appreciated.

The food kept going across the screen. Other than that, pretty good. And pretty damn trippy at the end, if you ask me.

The food keeping going across the screen was actually intentional. Thank you, though.

^ A lot of things kept going across the screen.

Not a whole lot worth criticizing here, just keep doing more and you'll be a pro in no time.

The part where he turns green and get grabbed by tongs(I think?) I thought he was going to get eaten, but he got taken to happy land instead. Also it's scary how milk follows him everywhere he goes.

Yeah, as far as the ending goes, I'm going to give an official shrug of the author on what it signifies. I'd been reading Haruki Murakami's novel Kakfa on the Shore at the time and was knee deep into surrealism.

The cucumber comes from asking my roommate to name a random object. Originally I was going to have him jump into a blackhole. Then my roommate suggested a salad. Then, when I was searching for music to add during his transformation, I came across the song "Les Sucettes" (which means "The Lollipops") and the rest was history.

There are a few little things hidden for fun. Jean-Paul Sartre and Haruki Murakami's portraits are in the back of the classroom, surrounding Franz Kafka's portrait which eventually stays in the frame. Later, I would realize that I'd subconsciously borrowed from Kafka's Metamorphosis. Sartre's quote "Existence Precedes Essence" is also written on the board in the kitchen. I also hid a Shakespeare quote under the window in the bedroom that's so tiny it could never be read and was completely pointless to add.

I was searching for screaming sounds, and ended up finding one that sounded really hilarious to me. Looking back, I think a higher pitched scream might have been better, but I was in a bit of a rush to get the project done on time.

Yeah, the title "Lithium" was inspired by its use as a mood stabilizer.

Niceness. Everything just piled up until BOOM.

He was a cucumber in Lollipop Land.
