thoughts on making animatics / have you ever wanted to make one / if you did what song do you REALLY want to make one for

okay so I think about animatics a LOT. the only thing that really stops me from making them is a lack of time/focus

some of the songs I'd love to animate for:

Elsa's Song - The Amazing Devil

I can see it as the opening to an animated fantasy movie. The aftermath of a battle, and the affected survivors

Stressed Out - Twenty One Pilots

I tried to use this for a fake "trailer" back in 2016, about a group of kids who end up having to take on a criminal organization, kind of ala Die Hard

Bubblegum Bitch - Marina

I have a team of characters that are all female elves on a road trip to save the world and I want to make a video for them someday I love them

The Horror and the Wild - The Amazing Devil

Druids destroying a corrupt magic school where they were held captive and trained, and freeing the current students. Everyone's a super powerful druid with unique nature powers and even just drawing it would be hell for me lol but it may be worth it

If you want to talk about it more or share anything I'm super super down, I love music, and pairing music and stories will always be a powerful thing :)

Putting the last animatic I made below the cut. (from two years ago 😶)

this piece has been living in my head for like 7-8 years, and it's meant to be set to My Demons, by Starset, but the timing wasn't right, so I just did House of Memories by Panic! At the Disco

I'm still fond of this story concept, and one day I want to make another animatic that follows the original idea. The story follows a team of what are basically space superheroes, investigating the spike of reported superpowers, and the apparent corruption that comes with them

I think this'll be considered an animatic but I'm not too sure (we'll go with animatic for now tho lol)

Haven't mentioned it here yet, this will be to a portion of the song Gladiator by Jann ;)

[tobyislame]

Father by the front bottoms is so toby..

like he wrote this . he put pen to paper and wrote this . this HAD to be what was going through his head, wasnt even about protecting his family anymore he had just been fucking swallowed by white hot blinding anger . didnt know anything else except he wanted him gone

[floweroflaurelin]

wait you said you did an animatic on your main blog! is that for traffic series’s, is it posted here?

Oh right yes I was meaning to mention this here!! Thank you ahaha

Okay so YES! I did do an animatic, it’s for Empires SMP! No it’s not posted here yet because I am kind of unsure about what do with it… Let me explain.

Over the summer I had to do a big project for school, and it was entirely self-directed with no supervision. That meant it had to be about something I’m Really Passionate About to make sure that it would actually get done. So naturally I chose Empires! I got in touch with Pixlriffs and got his permission to use his audio for a school project (he said yes, thank you Pix <3) and then, audio in hand, went nuts and roughly storyboarded out 8min of an animatic in a single night.

When getting the project approved I told the professor, “hi I am going to do an 8 minute full colour animatic in two months while taking a full course load of classes” and he said

So the plan became to begrudgingly take a 2-3 minute excerpt of the audio and just do that for the class. And I did! And it slapped!! Full colour, rendered paintings you know and love from floweroflaurelin, except they’re moving a little bit. And Pixlriffs is there talking.

I figured at the time that once the semester was over I would paint the other 6 minutes of the animatic on my own time!! How hard could that be, right?? Except Things Kept Happening With School, and once it was over I was moving to a new place and getting sick and Tango’s desk mat took priority, and suddenly it’s over a month later with Do Those Other Six Minutes still on my to-do list.

The real kicker was that one of the Things That Happened With School resulted in me not getting feedback on the project—the teacher wasn’t able to really look at it. I got a grade, but a series of ridiculous circumstances meant that all that work was only briefly glanced at and a grade hastily entered, which was frustrating and resulted in me resenting the project a bit, since I worked hard on something I loved and it got no appreciation at all.

I’d love to share it with people who would appreciate it, which is to say, other fans!! But the thing is—as much as I want it to be Done the way I intended when I storyboarded it out initially, I won’t have the time to paint those six minutes any time soon: Huevember is in a couple weeks, and that’s a big commitment! But in my mind it’s not a complete project unless it’s a Complete Project. So I’ll put the question to you:

So yeah let me know! I’m still pretty busy but either way I want to revisit the animatic, either to paint more frames or to get it prepped for posting (something I’m not sure how to do yet).

(Also good news about Things Happening With School: I graduated yesterday!! Bachelors degree with honours, baby! Maybe now that school is behind me I can turn a new page where that project gets shared 😆)

the instrumentals had me so transfixed but god the WORDS TOO

So first things first, please take a look at these fantastic animatics by @nikoisme (hewwo!!! :D ) and @dacenturion !!!

I cannot stress enough how excited I am for ANY Penelope song for Epic. like lkasdjf kdlsjf

and with the Viola, guitar, AND the Piano??? Like how Athena is looking over BOTH her faves reunite?! YESSSS

I'm so fucking excited for this song. I know it'll make me cry.

[oifaaa]

Consider : "genius" type character is just lucky. They just accidently point at someone else than the intended target and it's the true culprit

I feel like I've seen this show before

[tobi-smp]

I know you probably mean the au in general but Everybody Look At @grimmijaggers Awesamdad Playlist Right Now

(also outside of their work, this animatic still hurts me in a way I can't verbalize [Link])

[wolfythewitch]

Man. I can't wait until we can see the full Epic: The Musical Wolfy Edition in all its glory. Your dedication to this is immense.

Haha I doubt I'll be doing the whole musical but thank you
