#i always love the redrawn frames alternated i find it such a good way to give life to still frames

[Sound on!] Going with very limited animation, if any for this Celia/Elena animatic, and its already helping me do so much more so much faster- fingers crossed i can get the whole or most of the song done like this!

The song being Never Forget You by The Noisettes[Yt link]

Its set post Vento Aureo which means post Celias death, so this is from Elenas pov as she travels back for the funeral and thinks about Celia. despite that its gonna be mostly upbeat, if nostalgic, with only a few hints that Celia is in fact dead

Sorry I'm a little late- Elena flying back to Napoli [and being to late to meet Muro alive]

I got your message by the way- from the framing its implied to be from Muro but its actually someone else informing her of what happened.

I'm calling in sick today- The phone being off the hook implys that she did not in fact call in sick and is instead just ghosting people

So lets go out- lets go to a bar, theres two empty seats for Elena and Muro

For old times sake- and the colours invert, showing its the past, and the two empty seats from the last frames are filled with the silhouettes of a young Celia and Elena chatting, showing that the bar Elena is in the present is also one they frequented in the past [Its also probably the same bar as in you hurt the ones who love you]

I'll never forget you- zoom in closer

They said we'd never make it- the eyes represent the pressure they are under and the scribbles over the eyes show their expected young deaths

Your my joy- further zoom in

Always remember me- they are trying to reach out and keep remembering each other
