I've had a few people ask about the "story" for this MAP, so I thought I'd give a more detailed explanation: There’s no real “story” in the traditional sense, but basically the MAP started when I wondered, what if Leafpool and Squirrelflight held a bit of resentment towards each other for the secret the two shared? Obviously it ended up hurting them and causing even more problems, so I kind of wanted to explore a side where instead of teaming up, the two kind of turned against each other. Obviously since this MAP doesn’t follow a script there’s no real story and it can come across as a bit playful at times, but what I said before was the original intent. I originally considered using Dovewing and Ivypool for this MAP, and while they could technically work, I thought that would be a bit too predictable and I wanted to try something different.
@Kyottoko Shiroko张琪琪 Dude I'm way ahead of you, already have a song picked out and everything hehe. e.e It might not be the next MAP I post, but it's definitely in the works.
Actually that makes sense because when the secret came out until the end of The Last Hope, Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw weren’t mates, so technically, Leafpool made Squirrelflight lose her mate, therefore she might have a slight resentment towards Leafpool.
i was wondering what program you use to make the map itself and edit it- like- what video making app? ;w; i cant find a good free one, also i love this map! its amazing!
Wow this was amazing!! I rlly loved that all the other characters that appeared ( the three, ashfur, brambleclaw, etc) were all like just silhouettes with eyes and had a very simplistic design compared to squirrel and leaf, it made me focus on those two more and treat the others as just background information great job!!
GEKKOZILLA I actually went back and forth debating on whether or not everyone else should have actual designs, to a point where I actually designed Lion and Jay, but I eventually felt it was best that Leaf and Squirrel get the most emphasis. (:
Theatricals So you had designs for lion and jay, and not holly to be clear? If this is correct, why? Is it because she, well, died n all or smth else? Or after designing those two did you decide- nah, silhouettes are better? Really curious
@@doe4003 It was after designing Lion and Jay that I decided that silhouettes would be better. :3 I honestly didn't really have a solid plan with even them to start, so I can't even say what I would have done for Holly even if I stuck with my original idea. The designs that made it into the MAP were chaotic enough, and I didn't want to confuse people. Plus, I think it may have ended up taking away from Leafpool and Squirrelflight as the main characters of the MAP if I had gone along with it. :3
The outcome of this MAP is absolutely mindblowing!! Every part syncs up so darn well and I can't help but watch this on repeat already and it's only been out for almost half an hour!! Everyone did such an amazing job and I'm so honored to have been part of this project!! Tysm for letting me join
For those curious, both Lionblaze and Jayfeather were originally planned to have designs similar to Squirrelflight and Leafpool's before I decided to have silhouettes instead. Lionblaze - sta.sh/012oq0xi0tz4 Jayfeather - sta.sh/0910mmkujyo
Man, I was waiting for this map so much, the end result was better than I’d imagine! With the main focus, Squirrelflight and Leafpool, having very unique and stylized design, and the rest being silhouettes, for most it’s already easy to tell which characters the MAP focuses on! With the design of the side characters being silhouettes, it’s really fun and creative, and I doubt not that many MAPs have that style of characters. I really have nothing more but praise for this masterpiece, I hope many more will have the same feel as this one!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! It's so abstract and different from some other emo ish based maps that I've seen and takes the sisters on a whole new spin. Also the art is flawless in all the parts
Consistent unique colour choices and font make it look like almost one single animator's work. I am absolutely blown away by the beauty and the unity of the participating animators' efforts. Well done.
This is amazing! I love all the animation and the colors are beautiful!~ Also is it funny how when I watched this I thought of that one moonkitti video with Leafpool calling Squirrelflight when she was stuck in the fence?
I legit cannot stop watching it. The bounces and the art.... B e s t map I have ever seen so far. Normally I like maps because of the music. I only watch the animation once. But this I can't watch without looking at the screen. Like holy shit I think I'm hypnotized 😂
AAAAAAaaaa sorry I didn't comment on this sooner!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HOSTING THIS BEAUTIFUL MAP THEATRICALS!! EVERYONE DID SO WELL AND EVERY PART FLOWED TOGETHER SO BEAUTIFUL!! I'm so glad to be a part of this MAP! Thank you much for having me! Everyone did such a fantastic job and all the thumbnail entries are just gorgeous!
Y'ALL... This is glorious. *Every* single participant had stunning tweening and beautiful works. I'm so impressed and honestly at a loss for words?? All I can say is this turned out perfect :,D
I love this!!!!!!!! Its such a unique map!!!! Its interesting to see how everybody made it seem like Leafpool and Squirrelflight are annoyed with each other!
I just commented on another map saying it was my favorite, but oh my god this is just??? sUPER GOOD???? It's so unique everyone did amazing. Solid Telephone/10
Heck. Looking at the characters, I feel so bad for the animators. Squirrelflight and Leafpool have such complex designs, it must have been a pain in the rear to animate. They’re so pretty, but complex. Good job to all the animators!
At least we can take comfort in the fact that this is a pmv map, which is mostly tweening and editing with a smaller amount of frames. Less frames means the animators can afford to use more detail in the drawings and dont have to simplify as much. Only a few animators went out and did full animations and when they did it was shorter sections, a single part of a character and not the full body, or the background character silhouettes.
This looks so good! Everyone did amazing job and the colors are perfect! I just can't get over the fact that when they sing "kinda busy" it sounds like "kanaperse" wich means "chiken ass" in Finnish :,,D
So late buuuut I absolutely loved this map! I’ve never seen this kind of interpretation of Leaf & Squirrel's relationship, and I *absolutely* love it. It makes total sense they’d get bitter at each other! And this map is just so good so yeah, good job to all! ❤️
Map's getting a little old for this comment to be relevant but, for anyone wondering who's Squirrelflight and who's Leafpool, it's simple. Look at their face. Leafpool is a dark and mild/light brown and Squirrelflight has the bright white face center with the orange eye markings. Very visible details on the face for identification if you can't recognize fur patterns and colors on the body.
@@Theatricals It is for most. For me it was the face. Mostly for parts with closed or almost closed eyes as well, or fast sliding pictures. Most notable differences I saw was the face and flank/spine ridge color difference.
this looks incredible!!! im in awe of this honestly its so good seeing people come up with creative new concepts for maps like this , it looks really really good!
NO WAY! I HAVEN'T HEARD THIS SONG IN YEARS! I thought it sounded familiar when it started, but I didn't recognize it until the chorus started! Thank you so much for hosting this MAP with two of my favourite characters and reintroducing me to this song!
Wish I'd seen this sooner because it's fantastic, but good god, am I the only one who thinks Leafpool in this comes across as downright seductive? Not even in a cute way, I mean full-blown man-eater vibes. I don't know how to feel about that, but this whole MAP is unique and awesome.
This is so God damn clever, especially when you think about their old mind reading abilities they had as apprentices. (Thinking about that moonkitti spoof where Leaf calls Squirrel like a phone).
I like the wacky designs of this, but I wish they had more of a body difference then just being different colors. With the pallet of colors in this I just think having a distinct difference would have been better. It's good! Just hard to figure out who the background characters were sometimes.
That was honestly what I thought after I had finished the MAP. I think if/when I make a MAP similar to this, I will be putting more differences between the characters.
