I love your character designs and facial expressions, so well done. And the Lonely being the ocean slowly rising around Jon as he lists off the people he’s lost? Brilliant. Love this
I love that even in greyscale you got across that your Phoenix is heterochromatic, genuinely kind of impressive how visible it is in every expression 😅
My friend just got into Ace Attorney and I immediately shared this with her because imo its the definitive animatic for the fandom 💖 Like legit it's one of my favorite animatics ever made, you really captured the emotions of the first game perfectly, and even heightened them a bit. I come back to this all the time
This actually made me realise the true impact Mias death would have had one Phoenix, I feel like they glossed over it in the games and that Mia not being able to be channeled or come back as a ghost would be a more interesting concept!
hands down my fave ace attorney animatic i've seen. the interpretation of the song is awesome and the timing for every scene feels perfect (bar the missing / unfinished ones ofc) i hope you come back and make a complete version one day!
I love how if Peter Lucas hadn't messed with Gertrude then he'd still have enough power in The Lonely's place of power that Jon wouldn't be able to compel him like this... but whoopsie!!
The scene of Phoenix reaching for Mia, but grabbing Maya instead, the parallels of Mia saving Phoenix, and Phoenix saving Maya... It gets me every time.
ok but phoenix and mia are an amazing duo idk why but everytime I see ppl make something including edgeworth's reaction to wright defending him about dl-6 I FUCKING LOVE IT
Reflex lacrimation occurs when the sensory nerve endings on the ocular surface respond to changes in the environment resulting in a rapid secretion of fluid by the lacrimal gland to wash away and chemically neutralize potential threats to the tear film. Stimulation of corneal sensory nerves facilitates the secretion of fluid by the lacrimal gland and promotes vasodilation, which may result in a quick production of reflex tears (there is no storage of tears that can be shed immediately). This stimulation of the lacrimal gland, mediated by the facial nerve, is referred to as a trigeminal-parasympathetic reflex. However, this is not a simple reflex, because the sensory input from the cornea and conjunctiva is processed in the lacrimal nuclei, a group of cells in the superior salivatory nucleus involved in lacrimal functions (sometimes referred to as the “lacrimal nucleus” e.g., [10,12] although it is not a true distinct nucleus, which also process input from other centers (including the prefrontal cortex and limbic structures, such as the cingulate gyrus), which modulates the output. This modulation implies that low levels of sensory nerve stimulation produce enough lacrimal gland fluid to adequately supply the ocular surface, whereas more intense stimulation causes increased lacrimal gland fluid secretion to wash away deleterious compounds on the ocular surface and produce overflow tears. However, the secretion of tears can also be facilitated by input from the central autonomic network [13], without the involvement of the sensory nerves. hope this helps! 🫶
really do love that I can see you moment later in it's episode but honestly I think my favourite part might be John seeing Peter loukas because the immediate shift is just so impactful and cathartic
this song really does fit every fandom huh edit: DEAR GOD THIS IS SO ANGSTY your art style is just so evocative?? like, how?? I feel like I’ve unlocked shrimp emotions I am sitting here in shock
