[WIP] Earthquake Weather | Rain World AMV
Hi, this is Awniber. Rain World is a beautiful game that has impacted my past four years, I love Rain World and it led up to this project, the Rain World Earthquake Weather AMV. The song hugs the game narrative, and ties together the story of slugcat and that of iterator, where both struggle with and fight against their different plights.
I first encountered this song in 2019 in a school assignment where I design a geometric representation based on the song. Right then, I felt it has a "wandering in an apocalyptic world" vibe to it. The song features a nonchalant beat, but it simultaneously feels like a heartfelt catharsis from someone who's been tenacious and diligent in their enterprise. It paints a picture where they strive with utmost sincerity in their personal endeavour, all while the world continues to amble at its own pace, not ruffled in the slightest. I came across Rain World in that same year, and it felt like a sign that I need to do this.
So far it's mostly done in Clip Studio Paint EX. While I've joked about making animation in what was an illustration software, I have come to learn its ways and capabilities in terms of animation. It does surprisingly more than I gave credits for it; I learned a lot during the process, and it manifests in the animation. For example, early on, it stutters because I treated it more like a storyboard, but then I discovered the exhilarating 2D camera feature, excavated a different, workable layer organization approach, and that enabled me to experiment more with camera movements. There are A lot of shots; and from this repeated making process come some insights. For example the attention paid to how focal points link between and continue its trajectory through shots; and designing visually interesting path, movement, transformation for the focal point. The principle of arts and elements of design do apply to the "invisible" focal point, and I find that intriguing.
I've been wanting to make something for Rain World since 2020. I made a MAP part in 2021, and that urges me to make more. One year ago, I associated the song with the game, since then I've been inching on it. I thought I could power through it during the college summer months, but I overestimated myself and underestimated the workload for a full animation; and just like that, school season returns, again.
Let's see whether I get to see through this the coming year, eh?
Peace,
Awniber/时云

After multiple tries spanning three years, I'm in. The Sheridan animation program. It's been a wild ride. I received lots of help before and during the application, and I'd like to give back some. It's a bit long, but I think I dedicate this to those who want to get in very badly and would scour all info, a bit like how I was then haha. I encapsulated just about everything I thought about in th...

    Hi Everyone, Thank you all for your lovely, supportive comments, I do read them all and they mean a lot to me ><... Just want to say, this is still being worked on...! Just, very slowly... because I am a college animation student who have assignments and soon the thesis film to work on - 2024 will also be a busy year. As a general rule of thumb, I had to keep my school stuff float before working on this, therefore the delay. But one sure thing is I will finish this eventually: it carries too much personal significance for me to not to ><;...! I will try to keep an updating log. Feb. 27, 2021 // The earliest record of this project: a text outline with timestamps of what goes into it. Aug 27, 2022 // This video. Dec. 21, 2023 // In extension to what's in this video, I finished boarding the rest 46 seconds of the song. There was some major project management revamp: Instead of one gigantic csp file of the full film (which was crazy... but I didn't know any better in the beginning), I managed to separate the csp scenes and set up a preview scheme where I export only updated frame sequences into an adobe premiere project. Jan. 4, 2024 // Reference sheets for FP and Moon puppets, slugcats. ... For anyone who's checking in every now and then, thank you for your patience and continued support T T... I really do appreciate that. I'm thinking of a place to deposit the process work for anyone who's interested... not yet set up though °A°;

    I love how you drew and animated the Iterators! I really feel Pebbles’s struggle, being responsible for Moons death. The facial expressions and body language is perfect! I also love Moons tiny freak out at 2:32. I also love how you drew the Scavengers bullying the Scug at 2:10. Not often does an animation give me feelings directly from the facial expressions/body language. I’m excited to see the finished product! Also I’m just in awe of 1:42.
