just learned that some people didn't want sad-ist to make an exile arc animatic, with the line of thought being that Because sad-ist's animatics tend to ramp up the tone to feel more exciting which means that it Couldn't properly represent the quiet horror of exile. meaning people assume that a sad-ist exile arc animatic would Have to tone down the actual Violence of exile in exchange for cool factor.
and like, there's a lot to say to counter this idea (the blooper animatic that sad-ist Already made that captured the tone of the scene perfectly before the joke hit, or sad-ist's doomsday and passerine animatics clearly showing they're Very capable of different tones, the fact that Any attention on the arc from someone as high profile as sad-ist had been would be an objective good thing, etc)
But Like. If Epic Exile Arc Animatics Have To Be Watered Down Then Why
Everyone please go check out my dsmp animatic. It's my very first 'big' project and took me two years to complete, so I would very much appreciate it :')
Alright so, I've worked my tail off for this for the past 6 months, setting aside other projects and free time to work on this pretty much every day, especially in the last 3 months. And it's honestly crazy to think that despite all that, this is less than 3 minutes long... lol
As per usual for myself, I kept track of how long I spent on this, pausing and starting a timer whenever I worked on it, and WHOO boy.
101:50 hours
By far my biggest project to date (nearly doubling the previous one at 53:00 hours), and hopefully stays that way for a while, haha, not gonna be feeling so ambitious for QUITE a bit, lol. In any case, I especially wanted to get this done for Technoblade's 24th birthday - despite this really being more of a Philza animatic - only for the reason that I came up the idea for the animatic the day after "So Long Nerds". I became so attached to the idea that it really became my primary motivator to work on it so much. So, in some sense, this is somewhat a tribute to Techno, again, even if it doesn't focus on him much. Despite that, I do feel like it captures the feeling well enough, especially in the sense of loss.
Speaking of Techno, I genuinely think this helped me grieve more fully. I had somewhat gone through the stages of grief in the 5-ish months since the news of his passing to when I started, but listening to the song repeatedly, drafting and finalizing all the frames, all the while remember Techno... I don't know, especially since this is more of a portrayal of acceptance, it helped me reach that, and be able to look back and rewatch his content and things he appeared in happily rather than bittersweet with the pain of loss. All that to say this was very cathartic. XD Thanks for watching, whoever you are, and thanks for reading too. It's genuinely heartwarming when people see and enjoy what I do. 💛
3 months of work in 3 and a half minutes of animatic! I will be extremely grateful for reblogs/comments/any type of feedback (and if you didn't liked animatic then criticism is okay too!)
hey does anybody remember watching this animatic center Wilbur during techno's theseus speech and having your brain chemistry altered forever or was that just me
@tuesday-teyz this is what happens when I don't write comments and read the entire thing without telling you.
Enjoy my pain and this low quality pmv. I swear I tried, but I don't know how to use that program and I'm dumb (but let's roll with "it's a wip, it will get better" And pretend that's true.)
