OC Animatic - Just a thingy for school :P 

this is smthn I speedran in 4 days last month for a final project asdfghjk sorry if the sound effects are kinda goofy, first time trying it on my own with a longer video💀I got a perfect score anyway so yippee

The slow start of “Ship in a bottle” as she approaches the coat is great storytelling, and an awesome lead-up to that video. Like she doesn’t know why, but she recognizes it and the memories start slowly coming back.

I feel like mariza shouldn't be trusted with sharp objects

I was really worried this was going to be a "losing her memories and humanity as more and more time passed" type video, it was a relief to see her go back to her small form.

Gotta love how hard "show don't tell" is used here. Absolutely legendary as always.

Great video! The idea that Mariza seems to have forgotten her memories from is actually much scarier then the transformation itself. The slow start to Ship in a Bottle tied it all together beautifully!

MORE PIRATE SILLIES?

THE BEGINNING NOTES OF SHIP IN A BOTTLE AT THE END.... WE'VE COME FULL CIRCLE THIS IS FREAKING BEAUTIFUL

PIRATE OC CONTENT LETSGOOO ✨️ i really like how this all comes together with ship in a bottle at the end! Really wasnt expecting for Mariza to find her old captain's coat!! Animation is so fluid it almost feel like you're underwater too, and very clever at how all the pieces come together :DD

Everyone's already praising the animation itself, but I want to take a moment to acknowledge the sound design and the use of Subnautica's soundtrack in the background. Good stuff!

THE LORE GUYS THE LOOOOOORE ok but seriously, the facial expressions, the movements, the animated-but-not-quite-animated feel of it, this is amazing. The character designs and the art are incredible. I’ve been waiting for an update for this story to drop on RU-vid for a while now (I don’t have access to your other socials) and this is legitimately so good.

"You can run from your past, but you can't run from your memories." Feels like an apt line for this. I love the physical change they did going from a more primal denizen of the abyss to a more human-like one after seeing the ship. I also loved the small emotions displayed through the subtle facial changes!

Omg i love the storytelling here of how this carries on straight to Ship in a Bottle and Mariza is starting to remember her old life~

I love how it connects right into your ship in the bottle animatic (when she finds the captain’s coat)

Despite being 2 and a half minutes long, this is an absolutely incredible piece of work. You should be proud of yourself

0:39 Run bitch! *_Ruuuuuun!_* This was absolutely amazing. The lack of music and just simple ambiance was great, and it slowly picking up the guitar strums of Ship in a Bottle towards the end as she approached the coat was amazing.

I've seen you're work on tumblr alongside RU-vid and between your artstyle and your worldbuilding I HAVE to say if you made this story into a webcomic I guarantee you it WILL go FAR!!

The amount of hype I felt when I realized that this is a Ship in a Bottle prequel was CRAZY. This whole piece is so cool!! The fluidity in the animation, even in animatic form, is incredibly well done, and the "show, don't tell" aspect of the story is very well executed. Awesome work as always!!

AHHH THIS IS SO GOOD HOW IT STARTS THE SHIP IN A BOTTLE FLASHBACK!!! THE WAY THE MUSIC SLOWLY STARTS TOO!!!

Oh mY GOD, when “Ship in a bottle” started to play my heart skipped a few bits! That’s such a cool idea! The art was so good, and with such an amazing vibe as well. Your each new video amaze me every time and brings me so much joy

Your Animations Are Still Beautiful As Always😔💖

The animation is great as always but I must draw attention to the sound work here, it's incredibly atmospheric! I love how a slowed version of ship in a bottle plays as mariza approaches her old coat!

I absolutely adore your work! I can’t stop watching your Ship in a Bottle Animatic, it’s so good. I hope I can start creating animatics like this in the not too far future for my own story. Keep up the Amazing Work hun! 💛😻💛

It looks great especially for four days

the ship in a bottle at the end is just-- ✨✨✨ beautiful animation as always! ^-^ congrats on the perfect score btw! keep up the good work! >:]

The fact that this is animation is, in a story sense, the opening of the Ship In A Bottle animatic is insane! Great job!

When "Ship in a bottle" started to play at the end I started to get chills. I loved the atmosphere and tone it sets. Especially if you watch the other video of the same title as the song. The OC video Ship in a Bottle is one of my favorite OC videos ever and I love that we get more story for the character. This was such a good intro for that video.

IT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!!!! you are so amazing with animation! and mariza approaching the coat with ship in a bottle slowed down playing makes for an amazing prolouge/prequel/build up!!!!

Went back to see ship in a bottle after this cause both the song and the animatic really nailed it. Hope we see the story keep going someday

Love the subnautica music, can’t go wrong. And very beautifully done, a lovely lead up into ship in a bottle!

Hearing the animatic start to play sent a chill down my back.

Everything I've seen you draw just looks so cool. Keep up the great work!

Yo, this is awesome! Love the way the fish move, even at such a low frame rate.

This looks amazing it's always a treat to see a new upload from you😊😊😊

Love the silent storytelling. The Subnautica music is perfectly used here as well.

dear god i love that bit in the end. fantastic transition to the ship in the bottle piece.

The fact that everything has come full circle is incredible. Because after this video, if you go to watch ship in a bottle, it perfectly loops around.

I love how your animatics are mostly monotone except for the blue on your character, it's a great colour choice and really makes them stand out from the background! Amazing work, as always ❤

This looks AMAZING!!!! I hope someday to be able to do anything as impressive as this. Amazing work!!!

OOOOOOOHHH i love this SO much I love your composition and the fluidity of the motions and the posing is dynamic i love it i love it

Incredible work! I love how you have your character utilize the freedom of movement they have under water. Great work! Thank you for sharing it with us, I hope you got a good grade. Also, incredible music choice. I knew I recognized the Subnautica soundtrack.

Oooh this one's got a different vibe than the others (having only ambiance rather than music adds to that of course, but is not the only reason) Amazing work as always, and good luck with school!

4 DAYS!?!? Amazing animation I love everything on your channel Your art style is all I could ever want mine to be

I love your character designs, all of them have something that makes me keep looking. I also really like the overlaps from this and other videos. Can't wait to see more of this story ^^

God damn it! I just got to the part where Mariza finds the captin's coat and I was anxiously awaiting what was next and then BOOM, mattress ad. Jokes aside, amazing work shandzii! The story, the animation, I can't describe how well done this all was. I really can't wait to see what happens next.

After seeing most of your OCs on RU-vid, I hope you start an indie series one day. Their design and some of their stories are amazing!

I love that no matter what species you are, no matter how many times you’ve used a sword yourself, every time you see anything remotely swordlike, it’s a necessity to swing it around like your sparring with an invisible ghost

So much detail in all the ships. Love the use if Subnautica music, and that slow build up of Ship in a Bottle had me tearing up.

“There’s always a bigger fish.” -Qui-Gon Jinn In all seriousness… this is amazing as always. Like many others, I first found your channel through your Ship in a Bottle animatic, so it was incredible to have that brought back here. I’m always happy to see more of this universe.

Ooh, this one is really good for a lot of subtle reasons. As always, the limited use of color really makes your characters pop - especially against the dark background here. The motion and implicated of motion is really well utilized. And the sound design is great! Ominous where it neats to be and then of course the hint of song at the end bringing us back to the (first?) Ship in a Bottle animatic. It's like weirdly nostalgic. The only weird thing is the sword swishing noises underwater sounds too much like air, but whatever. It's phenomenal otherwise

Sthe subnautica music was not expected, but it was fitting. GREAT anemation as always, keep up the good work and good luck in school.

The animations are consistently incredible.

That music is real fitting of the vibe. And the vibe here is immaculate.

That was honestly PERFECT use of the subnautica ambience. keep up the great work!

Ohhhh the little bit of ship in a bottle playing at the end was an amazing touch!

Animators who create and design their own creations is like how a mother is to their kids

Yoooo new Shandzii drop!!! I love the lore and your art with this world of yours! Also this is such an awesome precursor to Ship in a Bottle!! So cool to see their big form like that :O

the sound design is SO good here, oh my god

I wanna read or watch this whole story unfold it’s absolutely mesmerizing!

Not gonna lie, a part of me saw the ship and went "omg a prequel to Ship in a Bottle??" and then the music kicked in and I went "AWWWW YEEEAAAA" Love your works, and can't wait for more on the story!! ^^

I can see this being the opening scene of an awesome cartoon or something. Beautiful animation!

Simply not just a thing for school it’s a thing that expands THE LORE!

Ah amazing! The recall at the end was fantastic! The silence of the deep sea leading back the the beginning of Ship in a bottle, it gave me chills!

The Subnautica music was a nice touch, Great work!

AHH THIS IS WONDERFUL I got literal chills when ship in the bottle began playing!!

The speed at which you can create these amazing animatics is astounding honestly. Love this

The slow start to the "Ship in a Bottle" animatic had me so hyped up for no reason that I immediately clicked that video before the music had a chance to fade so I could get the emotional payoff of it you have no idea. Every time I hear that song my brain goes back to that video and I just recently ran across it again, then may or may not have binged all the new stuff I missed (since RU-vid doesn't always recommend less frequent uploads)

I'll recognise subnautica soundtracks everywhere, also the animatic is amazing :)

OH MY GOD THIS IS SICK The original "Ship in a Bottle" video has been a major inspiration to me for months, so the slap in the face when this video eased into a slowed/reverb version of the song??! Feelin emotional rn, ngl!!! Great work!!!!!!!

I always love seeing cool animations like yours and the stories behind it. Keep up the good work.

when she finds that coat and ship in a bottle's intro started in... the excitement that built up over the connection was not natural that detail made me so happy :)))

WOAHHHH the increasing sense of scale in the beginning had me in awe, and those last few seconds? Chills. The tension, the buildup… nice.

this world you've made feels like it should be turned into a seriese or a musical movie.

Oh this is amazing! Espcially the ending! The music slowly getting louder as she gets closer to the jacket was chilling!

I love how perfectly this leads into siab, the fact that you can hear the guitar at the end is just *chef's kiss*

The way it ties into your animatic for Ship in a Bottle is jsut so- beautiful. Straight up chefs kiss

everytime i watch this AT THE VERY END WHEN THE SONG STARTS I GET EMOTIONAL ITS SO BEAUTIFUL BRO IM GONNA CRY

I’m so obsessed with her design, it’s so friken cool and amazing and I love everything about your animations!

I love the concept of a serpentine dragon creature turning into an evil looking but still some how beautiful mermaid. It's so refreshing for some reason, probably because that's so new and unique. Also the exposition was so good. I love the creature's curiosity

THE PREQUEL!! I love ship in a bottle creeping in as she sees the coat. amazing

Fantastic ambience, always gives me goosebumps! Absolutely great work.

LETS GOOO SUBNAUTICA SOUNDTRACK. HELL YEA!!! Simon da best

There’s always a bigger fish 😂 This is absolutely stunning!!

Awesome animation, and nice touch with the Subnautica music!👍

This looks really cool. I really like Mariza's design.

BRO NOT THE MUSIC AT THE END GIVING ME GOSEBUMPS SLAYYYYYY???

Absolutely amazing. I loved the use of the slowed + reverb ship in a bottle to reference one your ship in a bottle animation!

i love the slow start into ship in a bottle almost as if it would go straight into the animatic, almost like a prequel

It betters my day a bit when I see a new part of this story / world. + your really good at keeping the 3d form of your art in motion. + Motion Blur!!

I absolutely love the fact that the first thing she was drawn to was the very same sword. She used to kill the sea monster in ship in a bottle. Nice touch.:)

The way this builds into your over animation is so cool

The story telling with this and ship in a bottle is absolutely amazing

It’s insane how much the start gives me subnautica vibes

This is amazing especially at the end with the song coming in the back round, amazing

This is awesome, love the storytelling for the slow approach to Ship in a Bottle

The music trickling in when the jacket is spotted is such a cool touch

In the wise words of Qui-gon Jinn: "There's always a bigger fish."

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT'S SO GOOD I literally screamed i to my pillow when the jacket just was there AMAZING WORK :D

You get to make animatics for school? THATS SOOO COOL🎉🎉🎉🎉
