#EDIT: amv. i was thinking of an amv not an animatic

[lifebloodless]

In my mind there is a four minute naruto amv of Madara vs five armies with other extraneous but general theme matching cuts to fill in, set to Ballroom Blitz by Sweet. Unfortunately I don't know how to edit things and what is in my mind is WAY out of the league that I could reasonably achieve with initial dinking around

[astranauticus]

so the overall.. shape and tone of my current project is pretty much set in stone (im SO CLOSE to 50% done you guys) but i was looking through my saved videos folder on bilibili and if im gonna be doing another animatic after this one (honestly pretty likely??? given my. floruitshow obsession that doesnt seem to be going anywhere anytime soon) i REALLY want to attempt something closer to that style of animatic you see a lot on bb that employs more on elaborate editing as opposed to like............... the powerpoint presentation type beat i've got going on now

(nevermind the fact that a lot of the projects that really lodge themselves in my brain were also like collaborations between teams of people with like dedicated editor roles and i still havent fully figured out how to use lightworks. like ive also seen one man projects in this style that turn out absolutely gorgeous so i KNOW it can be done. maybe i'll go figure out if capcut is easier to use lol)

♫ Kenny! And also ♫ Style <3

Bro you know my music taste and my playlists c’mon-

Okay for Kenny I battled back and forth, should I do something sad? Something Kenny like? Or other? I decided on something distinctly Kenny, and I know it’s a song you love lol

It’s got everything! Existential crisis! Death! And darkness! (And drugs) It’s perfect :)

As for Style? Well I haven’t been able to get this song out of my head when I think of them..

Stan’s point of view (again). All about being abandoned and wishing for someone to be there when you’ve broken down. Sound familiar? Being there for them but them not being there for you, yet running back to them all the same

[sleeplessdreamer14]

I’m surprised that no one’s made a billford edit or amv or animatic to vampire by olivia rodrigo anyone wanna get on that?

you said it was true love, but wouldn’t that be hard?

you can’t love anyone, ‘cause that would mean you had a heart

I tried to help you out, but now I know that I can’t

‘cause how you think’s the kind of thing I’ll never understand

I’ve made some real big mistakes, but you make the worst one look fine

I should’ve known it was strange, you only come out at night

I used to this I was smart, but you made me look so naive

The way you sold me for parts as you sunk your teeth into me

Oh, blood sucker, fame fucker, bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire.

[yuurivoice]

I know a lot of people do this but

When you listen to a song that really fits a character do you play a little animatic in your mind of that character singing or acting along to the song?

That's pretty much how I've cooked up every major moment throughout all of my work. It's all just one big fantastic edit. 😂 Not so much them directly reflecting the song. It's more like an AMV than a music video, if that helps differentiate lol

A lot of the ones I've shared, coincidentally, aren't really the ones that work like that for me. Those are more "wow this really makes me think of that character" moreso than actually putting anything together narratively.

[disguisedcheezed]

It’s my bday! Could you recommend me any songs that give you dirkjohn vibes or a dirkjohn playlist you like a lot?

OH HAPPY(belated) BIRTH DAY!! WOOO (3 days late lol)

It took a while because I had to listen to the songs in my old phone again lol. *rubs hands evily* SO ANYWAY HERE'S YOUR BIIIIIIG BIRTHDAY PRESENT HEHEHEHEHEHEHE

This one was made for mee!! Now I shall share with you. :3 (you've probably heard of this lol but I love it still.)(Check out John's other playlists too!!)

These are albums that I heavily associate with dirkjohn/ult dirkjohn. (Or all of the are just really good they're all dirkjohn. I don't caaaare.)

These are the 2016-2019 depressed dirkjohn weed boyfriends era me thinks. The songs are so good in it. Trust.

Other songs from my phone under the cut that I like thinking about dirkjohn animatics/amvs/edits to all day but in a list because I will edit it A Lot. 😁 (I can't make a playlist for my life because I will Forget About It.)

vanished by crystal castles (because OF THIS EDIT THAT FUCKED ME UP FOREVER.)(it's a video edit of the game over timeline)

[thatbennybee]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this (probably), I have dookie memory, anyway, Sweet but Psycho by Ava Max, definitely reminds me of CS Poppy, I was just listening to it right now and couldn't help but think of an animatic for it

Do you think you would ever do an animatic for any of your AUs? If soo, I'd like to see you do Sweet but Psycho with CS Poppy :]

I think it suits her somewhat but I feel like it's a bit on the nose, plus I've heard that song played more than I heard my own name LMAO

I have thought about it though. Serial Heartbreaker (FLETCHER) or How to be a Heartbreaker (MARINA) might be a bit better

EDIT: YES I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT AMVS EEE I WANNA DO ONE SO BAD

[tblsomedoodles]

I

C R A V E

more Donnie VS The World content. It makes me vibrate and scream and wiggle like I'm off my meds. I would love anything, even a solid block of text, but your doodles/full artworks/comics are my favorite.

Please? All I've found so far is what we see in the donnieverse comic and the MVA/AMV (music video animatic/animatic music video). So many questions, like - is Casey (Sr) involved in any way, whethercas a fellow captive or rescue mission teammate? Is this the True Apocalypse or Averted Apocalypse timeline? If the latter, where is Casey (Jr)? How is Splinter handling it? (Is he even still alive to be Having Emotions About It?)

(Please feed me.

B L E A S E)

(If you don't mind, could you show/tell how Donnie escapes, one of his first Big Leads that gives him so much hope he cries, and/or the Big Reunion? One would be nice, two would be great, and all three would be amazing. If they aren't planned/are too spoilery, that's okay. Anything you can/are willing to give would be lovely.)

Thank you!! I'm glad you like it : ) I don't think I've answered many asked about this particular au, so i'm more than willing to talk about it! : )

I don't really have much up for it, mostly b/c it deals with a lot of angsty material that i can be a little uneasy about posting. I have a bit of old concept art, and an unposted fic i'm editing/rewriting (b/c it's the first fic i wrote for Rise and i did not have those character voices down lol.) I can probably post the first bits of it later this week. I did say at one point that i would once 'proud family tradition' was over, and it now is.

but yeah, here's the concept art, i'll put the explanation under the break b/c i'm going to be rambling lol.

So Donnie vs. takes place after the thwarted apocalypse (not-apocalypse future). They get taken by Bishop a few months afterwards, and it isn't until about a year after that, that Donnie gets free.

He's the last one still with Bishop at that point, and had been told/convinced through various means that his brothers were dead.

Bishop did a lot of experiments on him, leaving a lot of scaring. One of which was injecting him with Krang DNA to see what would happen. (the eye and veins thing. I think he has some side effects from that but i'm not entirely certain what they are atm)

The fic itself starts after his rescue, b/c i'm focusing on Donnie's search for his brothers (and his own recovery) Rather than the traumatic event itself.

The rescue itself, was certainly a rescue. April, Casey, and CJ worked together to get him out of there as well as gain whatever information they could before they were found out. (Casey went undercover and was able to get some incomplete files and help get donnie out before she was discovered and had to leave.)

donnies in...pretty bad shape at that point, mentally and physically. Physically, he's malnurished, injured, scared, the works. Bishop did a number on him in the year he had him.

Mentally, he's pretty much shut down. He's completely non-verbal, unresponsive most of the time, when he does respond it's very slow and seemingly difficult for him to do so. He describes it that it feels like he's behind several plates of thick glass. He can see and hear what's happening, interacting (or even just feeling anything about it) is very hard to get past the glass.

How he goes from that state to hunting down his brothers is fairly simple. One of the broken, encripted files Casey acquired was Leo's file. None of the three could open it, but they managed to get Donnie to try to do so. He manages it, sees the file, and for the first time in about a year, has hope. He doesn't even wait to show the other three, he just takes off while no one was looking, with April's laptop and CJ's coat (he steals a backpack along the way.)

I don't really want to say much past that. A lot of the rescues/reunions are pretty spoiler heavy, and i don't want to ruin some of the mystery of what's going on in the fic. But know this, he does get all his brothers (and family in general) back. Also, splinter is alive and is part of this, but again, that's spoilers for some things i don't want to ruin.

Again, i'll probably start posting this sometime this week. It's an interesting fic that i've put quite a bit of time into at this point, so i'll be excited to see what is thought of it.

Thank you!

(Wow, that's a long post)

I see so many people who like creating explanations about Hermitcraft/Life series, creating tons of lore and interpret relationships. Especially with Life series, because it's half roleplay server and has a lot of plot and stories potential. Do people remember their previous life? Do they die and reborn? Do they remember each other, do they have scars from previous death? All that lore stuff.

I'm just.. I don't know. I guess I'm not a big fan of more serious roleplay and don't really think about relationships between characters, or the world of Life series itself.

For me it's all just minecraft servers where friends can play and talk and laugh. When I watch Life series, I imagine not characters, but real people. When Scar is talking, I imagine actual irl Scar, sitting on the computer with microphone and talking with his salesman grin. They remember previous seasons and don't think about it as lore, they just remember good times from the past. And after an end of the season they all are in one big group in discord discussing, laughing and talking how they will edit the episode.

Basically, that's the reason, why I animate only funny moments and often draw the irl side of hermits. I would love to draw something more "serious" or create a dramatic amv and be a part of this fandom community, but sadly it's not really my vibe.

In their videos hermits talk a lot about their life and wifes and maybe children.

I remember when Scar wanted to ask something to Xisuma who was afk, Xisuma said, he heard Scar through the headphones across the room. And I imagine actual human Xisuma, his room, microphone, how he rushes through that said room to quickly join the game.

I actually think a lot about irl side of hermits.

I imagine Grian sitting in the living room and doing taxes. Impulse loads the dishwasher. Doc plays with Doccy and teach them about pigeons and sparrows. Joel's in a grocery store decides if he should buy more expensive cheese this time or buy the usual. Mumbo watching videos and procrastinating to go do laundry. Xisuma writes articles about new songs and having a little art block while creating his own music.

I drew irl Grian so many times lol. I really like the irl side of youtubers, they feel more alive.

I don't really know how some hermits (and other people) look, but I still try to imagine them.

So that's why I won't do any lore or angsty animatics. But I still like a lot of AU fanarts, if they are drawn really good or interesting.

So because of all that I feel a little bit outside of the fandom... Like, everyone are having fun, sharing theories, fascinating AUs, drawing cool fanarts for each others. And I'm like.. not into that, I'm sorry. I still want to talk to all of you! I just can't really contribute. So here are my lighthearted funny animatics with 0% angst and where people are nothing more than just good friends on minecraft server.

I believe, people like me don't really watch fanarts or animatics and don't actually know about this whole side of the fandom. I wonder how many of them are here on tumblr ot twitter.

Is there anyone here who thinks the same way?

[ashlyns-general-blog]

The burden of being creative and in fandoms

Ever listen to a song and think "OH THAT WOULD BE A GREAT ANIMATIC/AMV/EDIT/COMIC/FANIC!" and so you search to see if anyone made one so you could watch it and come to find out that not a single soul has done it?

I'm gonna make either an animatic/amv of TOH and the cover 'Dance Macabre' by Violet Orlandi feat. Jonathan Young

'Cause that would be the one of the BEST Lumity songs. Feel free to use my idea if you want.

Also could work for (most) Homestuck ships, or Bubbline.

btw if anyone makes a edit of like... any fandom with this song (I'd probably be in the fandom) comment it, I WANT TO SEE!

[ghostieamvs]

I think my amv's are such a wonderful amalgamation of the things i've seen and loved and been inspired by, every song is something I heard from someone else's art, animatics, animations, other amv's, and just songs i've heard from those around me. I'm so thankful to everyone who's ever taken the time to make something amazing. I hope no one ever thinks i'm just stealing ideas, don't get me wrong, I adore everything I draw inspiration from. The call? Learned it from a QSMP animatic! Yaelokre? Tiktok edits! Arcade? A Helluva Boss animation! Unbroken? A fucking cool Sims 4 machinima! Saints? A Gacha Life MV! Humans? An animation meme! I could go on but I made my point. If anyone ever wants to know what inspired my amv's, i'll happily tell! Each one is very special to me!

[b4kush4de]

I've always been thinking...

I've always wanted to make animatics but I couldn't even make them since my device isn't really up for having big projects (animatics, animations, etc.)

But if I ever were to do something like this in the future, here's a list of what I plan to make animatics of (AMV edition!)

Spooky Month:

"Do what you gotta do" from Descendents 3 (a Bob Velseb and Beenie Velseb animatic)

"Red means I love you" by Madd Buckley (Bob x Charlotte animatic)

"Dinner is not over" by Jack Stauber (mainly a Bob Velseb animatic)

"Choke" by I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (another Bob x Charlotte animatic)

"Julia" by Colony House (Bob x Charlotte (wholesome version))

More ideas will come up later

[clownmoontoon]

i lov u songs that ppl think are overused in animatics and amvs i love u jack stauber's baby hotline and two birds by regina spektor i love u sub urban's Cradles and anything by imagine dragons esp the op to Arcane (ENEMY!!!!) these songs FUCK and i will never get tired of hearing them and seeing what ppl do w them in their oc or fan art animatics, amvs, edits etc thank u for ur service <3<3

[alphaofdarkness]

Hi! What is your all time favorite song and why? 👀

Hello my dear friend @theangrypomeranian ! 👀💜🫂 I hope you are doing well!

Omg favorite all time song ah,,, I have to say Cosmic Love by Florence and the Machine. It just resonates so deeply within me, the amount of ideas that flow through my mind when I hear it is just ✨ out of this world for lack of a better term.

Celestial, freeing, up lifting, like I can fly above the sky, life changing in the span of 3 minutes,

It takes me away, it sends me into my silly stories and ideas from my original Legendary Wolf Warrior stories, to my Digimon Au, to even recently thinking of an animatic of Sabine from Star Wars Rebels from the start of her life to where she is right now in the Ahsoka series with it. I literally tend to lose myself in the song, I mean it happens with a lot with many songs in general, but this one most definitely resonates so deeply with me that any of my ocs/self inserts inspired in likeness of me has this as their main song theme 💜🥹

I genuinely have no idea when or where I heard it, I feel like it may have been that Voltron AMV video I saw long ago (it is such a great video edit with the song honestly 👀✨ highly recommend seeing it!) or it may have been earlier, I can’t remember 🥹 pero bueno ✨ I know there was also a recent Warrior cat’s MAP made with Bluestar 💙 it was so good!

I highly recommend the listen if you haven’t heard it already 😊💜

[upsetamphipod04]

I've been a plethora of AMVs, animatics and animation memes capitalizing on the Nuzi angst from episode 7 and I am eating it up.

However, I recently found a song that would be PERFECT for a Nuzi AMV and haven't seen anyone use it yet. Therefore, I am chucking my idea out into the void that is the internet so some poor sap might enjoy it.

The song in question is "Anybody seen my baby" by the Rolling Stones. Here's the Link: (2) The Rolling Stones - Anybody Seen My Baby [Official Lyric Video] - YouTube

The opening is a bit generic, but the chorus and the second half of the song is fire. And the ENDING?!?!?!?!?!?! *MWAH* Breathtaking.

I feel this song perfectly captures Nuzi's (and N's) current state and is RIPE to be AMVd/animation memed

SPOILERS FOR EP 7 BELOW

I keep imagining at "maybe if I close my eyes", N and Uzi are dancing at prom like this:

And then, at "I reach out and touch the prize" it suddenly cuts to THIS

IM JUST AFGHSJDUEWLHIUG

Forgive the rant, I just want to get this out there before this dies with me. Feel free to steal this. Use this song for an AMV, animation meme, edit, what have you, for Nuzi, eNVy, NVuzi, or any other fandom or character you think this song fits with. Go Nuts! Let your Creative Flag Fly!

[heliological]

end of 2023 fanworks recs

Inspired by @inimitablereel, here are some fanworks posted this year that I liked. They're a wild mix of fandoms and not in any order, enjoy

[fic] Well I hate to say it, Edgeworth, but this could have been an email by I_Met_A_Girl (Ace Attorney, 1.6k)

strong contender for best fanfic title 2k23. I love it when timeskip narumitsu is awkward and terrible <3 miles edgeworth is uncomfortable to be around <3

[vid] I got mine by inimitablereel (DMBJ)

PANGZI VID. VID OF ALL TIME TO ME. I can't be coherent about it bc I am just overcome with love for pangzi whenever I see it!!! he's a badass…he cooks dinner…iron triangle bumping their heads together…what more could you need

[animatic] Partizan anime fanvid by fanyeline (FatT)

I have watched this on loop an unreal number of times. i love gur's spooky ghost spider robot eyes and the "my baby's got a gun" section (balence...)

[fic] Ready for Love by idiopathicsmile (Singin' in the Rain, 13k)

If you're reading this post and you haven't already read this fic, what are you doing? who doesn't need Singin' in the Rain ot3 in their life

[fic? ttrpg] Poisonous Pilfering - A Qi Ye TTRPG by deepestbluesky (Qi Ye, 1.2k)

Always a big fan of ttrpgs as a fan work. this is a very cute and silly one where you play as Wu Xi's sable and possibly other animals

[vid] brave as a noun and stabbed to death outside san juan by antediluvianapocalypse (RGU)

antediluvianapocalypse makes utena amvs at a absolutely wild pace and they also cater deeply to my personal music taste with their song choices. love what they are bringing to the table. these two (about shiori and saionji respectively) stuck with me

[vid] Puberty is….Weird by keiichiface (Mob Psycho 100)

Cheekface vid!!!! big year for people making vids to obscure artists I like. this one's a delight though, great tonal match with mp100 and incorporating dogs from other anime is a super funny solution to the problem of how many of the lyrics are about dogs

[fic] this diary belongs to Clementine Kesh by meowclops (FatT, 1.2k)

god's greatest mistake and a very special girl writes a diary very sporadically throughout her childhood (relatable.) The edited images/handwriting/little kid drawings add so much to this, it's really fun

[vid] 4:00am (lord give me one more chance) by mimikyuno

utena and pmmm is always a good combo and this amv found so many neat visual parallels. super pretty, sometimes u just gotta be a teen lesbian and destroy the world

[vid] You Belong With Me by Lil' Apple (The Untamed)

moving. powerful.

(vaguely ghost trick spoilers idk maybe) I feel like fanart doesn't normally doesn't make it into these types of lists bc it tends to be a little more ephemeral but I do also want to shout out this ghost trick art by tumblr user timestables bc I think about it daily
