#The bodies rising and falling from the blood are my fav part. Overshadowed by the more obvious shoe prints. They are just so creepy

trying out animation again! hopefully this will just be one part of a larger animation/matic centered around Elena & the teen group, to Dog Days Are Over by Florence + The Machine, but im alreadyso happy with this section!! explanation for the visuals under the cut<3

the visuals are, in order:

The dog days are over: Elena's Scholarship acceptance letter opening [signaling her departure from the group/area/story, and the end of the dog days]

The dog days are done: the car headlights driving towards the finish-line, show as a red ribbon [they are driving towards the finish line of the dog days/it all changes from here]

The horses are coming: the stand arrows, that slightly look like horseshoes, disturbing the red of victory, turning it from a finish line to a smear of blood [stand arrows, and passione are altering the way of life and becoming the symbol of a new era]

So you better run: then footsteps running away from the blood, yet carrying it with them, while outlines of prone/dead bodies rise and fall from the finish line that is now dripping with blood. [Some people successfully run away, even as they take the blood with them, others escape death but the blood with forver dog their footsteps, and many arent so lucky, and die]
