I just- WOW Darius reaching out for him at the beginning but not being seen because Hunters too fixated on pleasing Belos. THAT FUCKING TRANSITION INTO THE MINDSCAPE IS BRILLIANT- The songs bridge being used for the moment where Hunter and Luz literally crossed the bridge back from the mindscape into the owl house, shifting it over. Darius hugging him as he cries. The drums when the door opens. GOOOOD
oh my YES ! i was hoping somebody noticed that darius was reaching out to him in the beginning, it was quite a small detail ! im glad you enjoyed it :D
1:15 don’t know if anyone else noticed it but I love the part when the lyrics says “I’m leaving, Phil, I’m leaving now I’m going to escape but you won’t know how” since Phil is used as a short for Philip and Belos real name is Philip and Hunter technically left him 😭
His breakdown at the end is incredibly well done. It shows that despite him maturing rather quickly to uphold Belo’s expectations, he is still a child. So in that moment you see everything he was trying to mentally suppress and out a barrier up against comes flooding out at that one moment.
OH MY GODDDD. I WAS GASPING AT EVERY INTERVAL AT THIS ANIMATIC HOLY SHIT DUDE THIS IS FUCKING AMAZING. From the way hunters emotions progress in this It made the final bit of him screaming so EMOTIONALL IM DEFINITELY GONNA REWATCH THIS 17887’7676 TIMES.
I keep on rewatching this every time I see it pop up and my favorite moment is the extra crying frame at 1:54 which really makes it feel like he’s full on screaming
That was one of the best animatics I’ve ever seen, for the parts in between places in the epsiode (after he went under in Belos/Philips mind and after he ran out of Thw Owl House) you illustrated exactly what I thought had happened. Everything went so well together, I loved it so much!!
Oh. My. Gosh. DAMN THIS IS SO COOL! The entire of this animatic is so well done from start to finish, it really does fit how the episode was like! All the emotions were so accurate to the actually episode! It’s hard to process how good this looks! The transition from Kid Phillip to Belos was incredibly accurate and smooth especially as this is an animatic?! The whole of this is outstanding, I love how you incorporated the previous Golden Guards dragging him down at 0:55. I think that’s so effective!
lyrics: Ronnette my dear don't ever disappear Do what you want as long as you stay here I need you now, I love you so much More than you could know The Christmas kids were nothing but a gift And love is a tower where all of us can live You'll change your name or change your mind And leave this fucked up place behind But I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know Appearing unsightly, with devils inside me If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you Ronnie If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you Ronnie If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you Ronnie If you ever try to leave me, I'll find you Ronnie I'm leaving, Phil, I'm leaving now I'm going to escape but you won't know how Or where to find me when I'm gone I'll drink myself to death inside this prison cell This prison cell So get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here Get me out of here You'll change your name or change your mind And leave this fucked up place behind But I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know I'll know, I'll know
HOLY FUCK the imagery of the previous golden guard dragging him down in the dark all the expressions the music this is fantastically heart-wrenching and just. fantastic overall
0:46 I just noticed how when Hunter gets sucked into the ground or whatever, we don't know what happens to him- we don't know what he saw. For all we know it could have been more traumatic than this, or maybe it was just a black void. In any case he seemed fine when he saved Luz with that vine wall. Great animatic btw
rewatching this because I cannot get enough of this animation I swear. My favorite thing is the symbolism of the light from the light glyph leading Hunter back to Luz (quite literally meaning Light) and i just .. AAAA. AND HONESTLY JUST the way everything is so onbeat and the action fitting the musical scoringgg... comfort video for real thank you for this masterpiecee
I love this so much!! The scene of Hunter unground seeing another golden guard was so haunting but so so creative. And the way you do facial expressions is just top tier. This is amazing.
Rewatching this for like- the 6282929th time this is a masterpiece- however did you manage to make this in such a short time, you are honestly incredible at art and animation..the composition too is absolutely stunning,, AND THE MUSIC GOD FUCK THE MUSIC IM- SO GOOD I- This is a gem to the fandom
This was amazingly done! I love how you filled in the gaps of this episode, like him using Luz's glyphs to escape Belos subconscious and what happened after he ran away. I never thought about how he escaped or at least didn't make this sort of connection, but I hope this is how he actually gets out!
OK so- this is my absolute favorite animatic on RU-vid. Out of all the fandoms I've been in, I've never seen a more accurate portrayal of anxiety and panic in just a few frames. Big big big thank you for making this masterpiece 💖💖💖
The absolute talent and the ideas that went through your head while planning this. It's people like you who inspire me to make masterpieces such as this in the future, and it leaves me in such awe. Heck I'd even cry if I'm being real, Great work man, seriously
I keep seeing so many amazing animatics with Hunter and some of my favorite songs!! Spoilers for Hollow Mind below The lyrics really hit hard after watching Hollow Mind and Hunter's panic attack, Hunter might change his identity and leave his role as a Golden Guard but Belos will always know where he is while he reigns. & Hunter will still remember what happened with all the previous 16(?) Golden Guards that didn't even last longer than 20 years of age. (Hunter survived the longest, he's 16 I think)
Wow! I love your art style so much, to the anatomy, the expressions, and just the overall feel of it! This episode broke me too, and its so cool to see artists as good as you making animatics like these of them! Good job!
i’ve rewatched this several times over the last week, it’s so good. the timing and framing choices rly made an impact on me, & this song fits so well with hunter’s arc
The framing of each scene is super unique and your interpretation of what happened in the subconscious is flipping masterful I’m going bananas over this
I love this so, so much! Been watching it nonstop for the past few days! Just, everything about it is so good! Definitely one of my favorite Hunter animatics right next to Fish in a Birdcage!
HI THIS ANIMATIC IS BEAUTIFUL the emotions are so well done you can seriously see how theyre feeling i love how anxious you make hunter all throughout it really really fits him , i dont think the show did that enough ALSO HOW HIS EMOTIONS PROGRESS - from like just nervous to his breakdown at the end thats so fucking cool dude ???? also dont get me started on your style ???? its so nice to look at !!!! its really soft in most places but theres multiple sharp points in your linework and its just so cool you have such a perfect balance of real life proportions to this cartoon characters its so cool aughhhhhhhh also how you used beats of the song for cues in the art ????? genuinely so cool its so smooth , even if its just an animatic how you used alot of 1-2 movements ( idk if thats the professional term lmao i mean poses that snap from one pose to a similar one , the second one being more pushed and emotional usually , if that makes any sense lol ) in the same areas instead of having alot of just flat images floating around also i love how you draw hunter ??? its really simple but theres so much emotion in his expressions and thats really hard to achieve also omg hunter being so scared when hes pulled down ???? his facial expressions omg he seriously looks so mortified by the fact that he doesnt know whats happening or where hes going thats so amazing also oh my god how you showed the series of events of hunter coming out of that void area to luz telling eda to pull them back through the walkie talkie - i love how you made it like comic panels that was so cool and i love that idea beinh used in animatics - i dont see it alot that was so cool when him and luz are pulled out of belos mindscape by eda - i love how you drew the little scene of hunter dissociating and flapjack pulling him back to reality that was really neat how you included that detail AND THEN HIS ABSOLUTE why am i ywlling his absolute shocked dread from finding out belos knows hunter and luz were in his mind is so cool i love how you portrayed the feeling of being crushed in that ive said this so many times but its so cool all hunters emotions being bottled up then him just screaming at the edge of that cliff hits hard its such a good detail AND THEN DARIUS COMFORTING HUNTER AT THE END ???? that broke my heart it is such a cool detail okay im gonna shut up now , sorry for any bad grammar !! i love your work and im gonna go watch your other videos , i hope you never stop animating , youre so talented its amazing thanks for reading and have a lovely day !! :]
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE ANIMATIC LIKE OH MY GOSH. YOU CONVEYED THE EMOTIONS SO WELL AND I LOVE IT ART STYLE. IT'S SO GOOD I HAVE WATCHED IT EVERY DAY. I ALSO LOVE THIS SONG. WHY AM I SHOUTING. BUT STILL THIS IS AMAZING YOU ARE SO TALENTED
WHAT. THIS IS INCREDIBLE. I CONSIDER THAT EXCHANGE BETWEEN HUNTER AND DARIUS CANON NOW. THANK YOU!!!!! Also I adore how you drew little kid Belos, it made me laugh as I cried inside 🥲
HOLY CRAP THIS IS LITERALLY SO GOOD- I can’t even begin to find the words or way to explain just. How. Good. This is like oh my god- I can confidently say this is the best owl house/ hunter animation I’ve ever seen from the emotions on their faces to the idea of how Hunter made it out alive and Darius helping him and how you can see him slowly realizing and I just aaaa omg I could talk about how good this is for ages dude your on another level - AND IT FITS THE SONG SO WELL- new favorite song btw🤚
OH MY GOSH THAT WAS AMAZING, THE ANIMATION, THE FACIAL EXPERISSIONS, THE MUSIC SBVNYUXKYGASMOU I LOVE THIS SM I LOVE THE IDEA OF HIM RUNNING AND SCREMAING AND TEHN DIARUS HELPED HIM OMFG THIS IS BEAUTIFULL!!!
YES YESSS I WAS THINKING ABOUT AN ANIMATION OF HIM WITH THIS SONGGG SO GLAD THIS CAME UP IN MY RECOMENDED!! And that moment with the other guards pulling him down??? Great stuff! Keep it up! ^^
imagine he ran into dairy ( yes his name is now dairy bc i said so) but didn’t know he was part of the cats and ran away scared he would tell belos where he was 🥲
i have been rewatching this so much and its soo good, from how well done the art and expressions is to just how well the song fits with both hunter as a whole and the animatic i just got my owlhouse hyperfixation back and this animatic will not let it go away ever, i also really like the idea of darius comforting hunter and maybe being the reason as to how he broke into the school undetected the artstyle is just so guh and same are the expressions and everything i just feuia
Oh my god, I love your animatic and style it is so cute, expressive and outright heartbreaking. I was nearly in tears. Honestly, I have lost count of how many times I have watched this.
