Love this song from The Arcadian Wild & how well it fits the Motorcity story! Almost forgot what a great band they are & just found their 2023 album Welcome after watching your awesome tribute. Thank you for making your video, really glad I found your channel & miss Motorcity so much, still can't believe Disney didn't want another season! 💗🔥🏎🔥🏁🔥🏎🔥🏁🔥💗✨😊
I love this video so much because it encapsulates so much of how the gems being broken down by their own individual burdens and expecting the child they were caring for to fix it led to him developing the sum of their problems and completely breaking down.
Sorry, I don't check my notifications on here very often! The seadwellers actually do not despite being more central characters--many of the clowns are imported OCs from various fanfiction, so they in fact do. The hype trolls are ancestors of my weird matched troll "twins", Ravell and Raywar Echons--the past/young versions of my invented fleet educators for 1. scriptural exegesis, 2. poisoncraft, and 3. spycraft are all in the background in one or two shots. There are definitely plenty of improvised clowns in a lot of the shots though!
Wow, this is so good. I feel like you could honestly make an amazing vid entirely about any one of these four characters to this song, but making one for all of them together is such a cool idea! I think you structure it really beautifully in such a way that it all feels very balanced. I think you match lyrics really really perfectly with the gems in the first half (I especially love the first three "under the surface" moments, particularly Pearl's at 0:45), and then I loooove bringing Steven in on the bridge. The floaty music and more uplifting lyrics fit beautifully with the optimism and playfulness that characterize him throughout the original show, but of course he's just as much a victim of crushing pressure as the rest of them, and your transition into the darker side of his character with the revolving shot at 2:19 is gorgeous. Love that you go into the movie and SU Future, and I got full body chills at 2:52. Really beautifully done!
This animatic has lived rent-free in my brain ever since it popped up on my dash earlier today. 100000/10 vibes, I love younger GHB's design looking like Kurloz but feral, i love the design choices you made for trolls in general just. Chefs kiss. I will be watching this on loop for the rest of eternity.
For a second I thought you meant the Duke of Detroit and I was incredibly confused, but I'm guessing you're actually talking about Red. In which case, no, they never did tell us who he was!
i’m on my, like, fourth or fifth watch of this at this point(first on RU-vid but)-i just keep WATCHING it and enjoying all the tiny details and cool clown designs and aaaah. it’s so fun. it’s SO fun. the blocking is PHENOMENAL especially, everything feels so dramatic. i looove the strife screen
ahhhhh hooray! :D I have trouble visualizing things instead of just going "ah, and then the vibes are like--" so blocking was definitely one of my challenges, haha. And the STRIFE (actually GRIEF since I believe that's what it says when trolls do it?? I know the first time we see Karkat fight his lusus it says GRIEF so I just went with that) I just love how that shot turned out, and how it kicks off the "oh boy shit's gotten real" part of the video, so I'm tickled to hear somebody comment on it. :D
@@Splickedylit I ALWAYS FORGET IT’S “GRIEF” but you’re absolutely right. fake fan, take me away boys and boy if that ain’t a mood. i barely ever have any idea what’s going on when i’m trying to draw i’m just like well hopefully whatever is in my head is as cool as my brain seems to think it is and hopefully my Hands Can Do It!!! and YOU certainly accomplished cool as hell with this one :0000
OH DANG!!! Splickedylit its SO GOOD to see your content once again outside of tumblr, I took one look at those teeth, eyes and dimples and was like 'SPLICKEDY'S BACK!'. Seriously though, that a cool animatic, I was absolutely not expecting the /grand/ reveal, my jaw dropped. Very much a 'oh, yeah those guys are /doomed/' moment. The GHB was terrifying by comparison and the tiny trolls next to him were a lovely touch! As was his mock-bow to the Condescension at the end. Every time I watch this i notice more details and it's just so, so cool and you can see that it's full of so much love. Fantastic work!!!!!
sldkfj getting completely called out for my love of pointy teeth and dimples lmao. This is fair. I have always held the theory, encouraged by the extra perspective on the GHB's single canon reference, that the Makaras just,,,, are destined to grow up to be Bighuge McLargeclown, and the shot where Kurloz looms out from behind the curtains was,,, so very satisfying, haha. I'm glad you liked it! ^///^
Coming back to Homestuck content, especially yours, is like slipping on a pair of warm fuzzy socks... albeit bloody ones. Happy Honkoween! The GHB still reigns as one of the coolest characters in all of HS.
THIS IS SO GOOD, I love this song, and never would have thought of playing the dynamic this way, but it works so WELL, and the condesce's face at the end, the whispering crowd of clowns, that curtain reveal, just, oh MAN
Oh, that's clever. I've always loved the song, and this is a clever way to use it! And you've got to savor the reveal there, definitely something incredibly satisfying in the moment. Thank you for making and sharing this cool piece!
