ARK: The Survival Stories - Li Mei-Yin (The Island)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Welcome to ARK: The Survival Stories! This is the second video, following Helena Walker! The Survival Stories follow the direct explorer notes of each of the survivors from ARK, as I seek to accurately show exactly what happened. The video here goes over all of Li Mei-Yin's notes on The Island, from 1-31.
If you have any criticisms, let me know! I need to know what mistakes I made so that I can improve in the future. Tell me what you think about this, because I'm super excited for creating more, and cannot wait to bring all the other characters to life, not just on The Island, but on Scorched Earth, Aberration. That's all :)

Rockwell next Please!!!
Rockwell
Cool
*Cries in no discord*
Mei Yin: *Brings Giga to Boss Arena*
Ark: We'll allow it
More like
Mei Yin: I'm bringing the Demon King with me to face this threat.
Ark: Actually the giga isn't able to be-
Mei Yin: I said I'm bringing the Demon King with me to face this threat.
Ark: Yeah, on second thought, we're okay with that.
@@Asertix357 lmao its perfect
i like to think the Overseer saw what Mei Yin's giga did to a Boss and banned them from being allowed in the Boss Arena's
@@BlazeDarkfang Headcanon accepted.
@@Asertix357 I mean it makes sense back then the Overseers most likely communicate with each other so the islands overseer probably communicated with all other overseers including the ones in charge of Gen sim probably why there's no X gigas and the Colony ship that's gen 2 and they all banned the Giga being able to enter I like to think that every creature banned from boss arenas were banned because a Survivor that came before us and even before Helena pulled off some amazing stuff and got the dino Banned because to OP
Never expected to cry over a raptor buT WUZHUI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I cried over a level 2 dodo
Agreed
Same bruuuh
I could relate to Mei bcs my favourite dino was my Raptor, Viola and the alpha tribe of the server killed her >:(
Edit: I think i thought she was the best raptor only bcs all my other dinos were *Trash*
One time I cried because of my lvl 200+ Wolf cause I thought he was the strongest wolf ever lol
“We were barely clinging to life”
Purlovia: no I don’t think you are
I never paid attention at the notes in the games but now that I saw a beautiful history represented like that, I can't stay stoic. This is amazing, thank you for this beauty.
btw i love the voice you got for her. having an authentic chinese accent and pronouncing chinese names properly such as Whu Zuie realy goes the extra mile. keep up the good work.
Right, yeah she stopped me while recording and was like.. wait.. you're saying Wuzhui wrong. Do you want me to pronounce it the correct way? haha
@@NeddyTheNoodle haha thats actually kind of funny but these videos really are quality content i hope the ark devs find these videos and sponsor you so you can make more videos seeing that the quality of these videos is really good i feel like i watched an actuall movie these 20 minutes seemed like over an hour because i got so attached
@@NeddyTheNoodle i would have loved to ask her if shes able to read the actual explorer note and see if its accurate to the translation
@@moofy69 I should have done that! Perhaps I'll ask her during Aberration.
@@NeddyTheNoodle I'm hyped for aberration
And the voice actresses name is even Mei, that’s so lit
Yeah, that was a crazy coincidence o_O
FANTASTIC!!! I love it!!! You conveyed the story of Mei-Yin and Whu Zuie (Don't know if I spelled that correctly) beautifully!
Appreciate it Saurian! Rockwell is next up :)
It’s spelled Wuzhui.
@@NeddyTheNoodle :/ As Rockwell becomes an antagonist of a series it would be smarter to keep him for last. Well watever. You are doing a great job. Keep going :)
@@herenaakuma85 Originally I planned to do Rockwell immediately after Helena, but I'm doing it this way in an effort to balance out the work. People don't often think about how much work goes into each note, but it is a pressing issue for us. Helena's video was much easier to film than Mei-Yin's, because we had far less scenes that required tons of Body Actors on screen. Rockwell's will be similar to Helena, being slightly harder because it shows more of Nerva's army, but less difficult than Mei-Yin's because it has far less fighting scenes. I wanted to save Nerva for last since his video will undoubtedly be the most difficult to film. Nearly all of his notes have tons of people in them, and he gets an increasingly larger and larger group over time, which is going to make it all the more difficult. I hope you can understand my reasoning.
@@NeddyTheNoodle Ah, the production issues. In this situation your choice of order is more than understandable. I wish I could help as a Body Actor but I dont even play on multiplayer servers so I would have no idea how to operate not mentioning recreating scripted scenarios :-( Your videos are high quality and seem to be enjoied by growing number of people so hopefully you'll find youreself an army you need for this project. Good luck ;)
1 like make sir edmud rockwell.
Yr wish is his command
That’s why he said the next is a very posh sciantist
Hope he's got David Tennant to voice him haha
@@ElJayEmCee lol
@@ElJayEmCee lol XD
OMG! This was incredible! Absolutely fantastic job everyone
raasclark
@@csar07. Yo?
@@Raasclark RAASCLARK
Love your videos man
@@csar07. Ah thanks dude! 😀
This is exactly what I have been waiting for!
Glad you finally found people to voice the characters!
YES!!
How do you even select *these* people out of everyone else to voice your characters any idea who's going to play Rockwell or what they need to have skill wise in order to *be* Rockwell, I'm only concerned because I'm really looking forward to seeing his survival story because I feel that Rockwell is about as important as Helena is, he's basically what happens when you drop a very resourceful scientist into the age of the dinosaurs, a lesser man would die on the island (at least more than once) but not Rockwell.😉
@@NeddyTheNoodle good job
@@NeddyTheNoodle can u do all the maps plz it would be amazing
@@havaak6188 he is in fact doing all maps
19:12 Raptor was like "man that was scary, I almost shi..."
Omg why was that so funny tonme
This just excites me for the animated series. I can't wait.
i know
Yes
Me too
Wait wait wait wait they're making an animated series I need to watch it
@@BRG1807 it will come in 2022 i think
This is awesome. ARK story can be hard to get ahold of with just reading the notes. Your videos bring the story characters to life and easier accesible for a bigger crowd. And the production quality is really good!
Thanks!
Ahhh i feel like I’m watching a show and waiting for the next episode!
Glad to hear it!
When is the next episode or at least some info on it like a trailer or something?
@@sonicANDtailsfan157k ETA would be likely around Winter Break. That's when you will hear more.
Loved it so, so much! Mei-Yin is an amazing character and her story was expertly represented!
Mei-Yin is my favorite character. I can’t wait to see her whole story. This voice actor is wonderful.
As someone that's played through the entirety of ark and collected all the explorer notes. This is by far the best representation of each character. Freaking amazing job keep it up!!!!
Mei-Yin was right, in a way
Wuzhui rly did carry her home. He was such a good raptor boi
I would just like to say I stumbled across your Survival Story collection via the UA-cam Spiral and watched them all. This being my favorite so I thought I should comment here..... Mighty fine Job Ned, your sense of storytelling is spot on, you even had me feeling emotion as the story came to its climax. After 6000+ hours in Ark who thought a bunch of Notes would be so entertaining! Bravo. New Sub & like from me..
As a fellow ARK veteran, Thank You.
This actually makes me want to read the ark story can’t wait for Rockwell : )
Since the trailer dropped that might make voicing a certain posh scientist a little harder, since now we know he's voiced by David Tennant XD Looking forward to more of these! I absolutely love the story of ark and these show it off so well.
I will make damn sure they match!
@@NeddyTheNoodle but that is corrupted rockwell.
Even though David Tennant is great, I would still be happy with someone with a good voice who sounds like he could fit the way Rockwell is portrayed in the notes.
It is funny as I’m currently working on getting the Perfect Explorer trophy and as i did, i was telling myself it would be great to read all of the explorer notes so i can better understand the story of Ark. I’m sure that a very light percentage of people have ever read those. To find out that someone actually made short movies about these notes was an astonishing surprise to me and I’m so glad you did! Thank you so much for these magnificently done videos, i couldn’t have asked for more! And this Mei-Yin, wow what a beast! I particularly love her story! Please go all the way through with all these characters and I’m looking forward for the other map's explorer note videos!! Great job !!
Thank you for such a thoughtful comment. Gaius Marcellus Nerva's video will be out in a couple days >:D
@@NeddyTheNoodle great, can’t wait to see it too!
Y'all took my breath away several times and i want it back.
Thanks...
17:24 Funny enough, ARK Devs actually removed that feature, so if you are riding a giga and it takes fall damage, it won't go crazy anymore.
This is super well put together! I love the voice acting and the visuals to help as well!
Thanks! Check out the others too if you want to see more :)
@@NeddyTheNoodle I have been! I'm loving this series! You earned a sub!
These “films”... I love them! When I was bored or I was waiting for something, I always read these notes... I was confused because there were more humans on the island but there were no other evidence just the notes. They were interesting to read but more interesting to imagine. And with these “films” it was a bit more clear that they ascended. They went home.
I loved this, i cant read mei-yin's notes which really bummed me out but now i can actually understand whats happening, Thank you!
Ever since I watched Mei-Yin Story it has made me realize how beautiful her story is told and shown in her notes and it makes it more beautiful how you made her story alive.
This. Is. AMAZING.
YOU ARE AMAZING
@@NeddyTheNoodle NO, U ARE
@@Apietoetoe uno reverse card
Firstly, this was very well choreographed for the most part. Although some parts looked awkward, such as when Mei was holding a spear and pivoting on the spot as the 3 survivors circled her.
The voice acting was very well done, kudos to the VA.
This was a great visual aid to the already interesting bits of story from the game. I hope to see more!
Le mei-yin: I will have my revenge on the new legion!
New region: *and I didn't took that personally*
Can't wait to see the rest, this must have taken ages to do but it's so worth it. Great vid 👍
Holy shit, I’ve been watching through the series and the voice acting, the cinematography, the player acting, everything is exceptionally well done. This video is especially outstanding. Thank you so much to everyone whose efforts went into these re-enactments .
i can't wait to see the scorched earth and aberration stories for Li Me-Yin, Halana and Rockwell :) i love this so much. worth a subscribe
Helena*
@@mindblowew656 thank you
Thank you for bringing these characters to life. This one has always got me emotionally 🥺
I love your youtube channel banner!! 7 DAYS TO DIE FTW
@@NeddyTheNoodle ty it’s what I originally started with but currently doing Ark story ascendence. Mind if I add Helena an yen’s vids as cards in my next recorded video?
@@belgaming6100 Absolutely, feel free.
@@NeddyTheNoodle awesome looking forward to seeing Rockwell 👍
I've just binge-watched your two videos even tho i'm at work and already know the basic storyline, and I have to say I LOVE IT! You guys did a great job and I am very eager for your next upload of this series!
Lmao same
Yessss I always wanted someone to do this👏
Wuzhui, raptor of darkness, cunning, love, and determination, we pray that you watch over mei yin, and live your afterlife to the fullest.
Wow. That was so crazy Good. Every Ark fan should see this!
This was awesome to listen to, thank you
And thank you for listening!
The fact that your narrator for the telling of this lore was able to move me to tears at characters loss of Whu Zuie, says it all. You dd a damn good job with this project.
This is incredible, well done...
Thank you for this… loved the way each scene is carefully played out. You done justice to the story of ark!
More to come :)
YES! Not enough support here, but please know this is fantastic.
That means a lot to me!
I love this so damn much. Ark lore is truly amazing. And the amount of work you put into your videos are unmatched. God I’m so blessed to be able to experience this.
Aww this one made me cry love your work.
The dodo corpse atop the campfire with the words "...like cooking; neither of us are very good at it" killed me.
22:14 ‘I knocked here unconscious but I meant no harm’ that punch flung her across the tek foundations! And where is the overseer?
The overseer was slain by Nerva's army at that point. and yeah.. ARK is hilarious with its ragdolls hahaha
Ahh thanks
Can you do Rockwell next please
When a decent story gets told by a stellar narrator and good visual representation along with the acting. B...E...A.. Utiful.
I love how you gave a personality even to Helena and Mei Yin's animals, like Athena and Wu Zuie
I think we should all take a second and recognize the amazing base creations and little details that went into to each clan. Amazing job!
Wow! THAT was awesome! Thank you for doing this.
No problem. Can't wait for the next one!
I'm a little late to the game apparently. Long time fan of Ark, I've enjoyed going into the lore of this since the pre-release. I'm loving this series following the stories of the previous survivors that left the dossiers. I'm also grateful for the translation efforts that have gone into this. This is amazing I LOVE this work!
1:36 Replay that clip, but the dilo is as big as a giga and still keeps its spitting ability and it has the giga hitbox and move as slow as a rex.
It would make more sense to the dossier of a “beast with ears like fangs that burns everything with its spit”
Casually crying at my desk over this absolute hero of a raptor. Great voicing/acting!
R.I.P wuzwui. The goodist boi till the end
The chills you get at the end man, THE CHILLS!!! THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!
WUZHUI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Wuzhui- The best raptor someone could ask for
R.I.P
Another will spawn eventually
So, I cried when Wuzhui died.... WTH!
No words to describe how amazing you did on the video its just wow and the way the accent was was amazing and the way her raptor died was sad and i never felt that way about a dino in UA-cam videos until now i hope you continue making videos like this
"Look Gary! I'm on TV!"
Offical Island 110 sever and a 155 level boss hosting and passionate player I thank you very much for this, well done.
Do you plan on doing Scorched, Abberation, Extinction, and the Hlna notes from Genisis Part 1 and possibly part 2?
Absolutely, though it is quite the undertaking! Getting ready for Rockwell's Island Survival Story next, which we're going to do our best to have voiced in a very similar way to David Tennant's Rockwell in Genesis 2!
Never in nearly 2000 hours of ark have I shed a tear for a Raptor no matter how long I've had it, but the loss of Wuzhui had me a little teary eyed.
That was so good!!!
Im glad you liked itt!!
This is so well put together, the voice, the music, the set, everything! It actually made me feel for the character like mourning the loss of her mount and her rage and drive for revenge
Been waiting such a long time... YESSS!!
My new favourite series, I found and read all the notes from the game, now seeing this voiced and acted so well is great. Astonishing work, can't wait for Rockwell and Raja if you continue with the dlcs!
I hope you like them!
@@NeddyTheNoodle I sure do! I'm glad youtube finally recommended me something good :)
Omg this was Amazing. I was SO sąd when they KILLED Ger dinos :(
Will You do other people?
Yeah.. sad stuff! And yes, all other explorer survivors are planned! :D
@@NeddyTheNoodle Wait a second did the giga die too cause that’s way too weird.
@@backroomstruechaos4053 In the story the Demon King rages during the battle and then is never heard from again. No indication as to whether he died or whether he just ran off.
@@chriswhinery925 Oh, well I just wanted to see him in the story again
GOOD WORK! I really hope you can do the rest of the notes in this format! We gotta spread this around
Nerva next I want to hear what he sounds like!!!!
Wow this is most likes I've ever gotten
I imagine him to sound like Arnold
@@kibareh2606lol XD
He is Roman so I always think of Julius Cesar from Xena played by Karl Urban
Awesome work, looking forward to the next. Thank You
i never thought i would feel sympathy for a raptor... aaaaw poor wuzhui
:(
Mei-Yin should have gotten a more useful mount, like a theri. This is what comes of riding raptors.
@@chriswhinery925 The absolute disrespect and savagery in this comment is astounding
That orchestra of the arks is always so good! I just love the soundtrack
Dude, make more :D
Soon™
gotta say, both of these videos are fan-freaking-tastic, and i certainly want to see a nerva video in the future, keep up the good work.
i feel like i just got done watching a movie the heck
This is absolutely beautiful, I'm at a loss for words.
These videos are SUPER COOL! Especially since these stories are buried in Ark and hard to follow. I hope you keep making them.
U should do rockwell next
It just so happens that Rockwell is next up!
@@NeddyTheNoodle nice can't wait for that
This is like the best portrayal of Mei-Yin I've seen thus far, Like the others are good, but this is bloody brilliant :) can't wait for the others
Are you going to do Rockwell?
Absolutely. Working on that one now!
I was actually wondering if you were gonna do the other maps, Nerva and Rockwells notes from the island and the rest of the story I'm very interested. Great Job
Yes!
@@NeddyTheNoodle Amazing I'm so glad to hear this, you my man have just got another follower 😁
How are you going to find an elderly man with literally no clue what an "ARK" is to voice Edmund? Lol that's gotta be a challenge.
Also why don't the survivors spawn with birthday suits instead of underwear lol?
@@level-upgavin4116 Look up "Raasclark" on youtube :)
@@NeddyTheNoodle Seems in Genesis Part 2, Rockwell going to be voiced by David Tenant. So maybe that will provide some inspiration of who to choose?
@@thecryptobiologist68 ABSOLUTELY! It's FANTASTIC they just released the teaser before I had my Rockwell VA voice him. This way he has something to get inspired from. Hes going to do his best to sound just like David Tennant's Rockwell! Thanks for commenting about it, I love this stuff.
@@thecryptobiologist68 it could not be rockwell. Who David tennant is voicing. Ark developers didn't confirm anything.
This made the story of the survivers in ark so much cooler. Keep up the good work.
These video's are absolutely amazing! You truly bring these characters to life and tell their stories using a rich environment of gripping story telling! Awesome voice acting too! Thank you!! 😍
This is the first tike in my life that i enjoyed listening to stories
FEKIN AWESOME!!! Please Do Them ALL!!!! I love the idea, and wow, was it ever done well :D (I honestly had this idea, and hoped it was being done, to my surprise I found these :D)
Appreciate the kind words! It is a lot to live up to David Tennant, so I'm .. heh .. EXCITED to say the least.
@@NeddyTheNoodle Ahaha yea, he's a great guy imo lol Well my friend, you should be excited, Great Job with all the video ioho(our) we really appreciate the time put into it, bringing the main story alive at last! You (and team?) have a gift, Thank you for sharing it like this. We whole-heartedly look forward to All the characters being done in this way :)
Good job on the notes bud 😊
Well done!!! Wow I was hooked. Please support this man. You don't find a youtuber like this very often. Amazing man keep it up.
Wow That was amazing! Truly inspiring!
I did not know Ark could be made into such a beautiful cinematic experience!
Truly fantastic, as an ark player since beta these story's are will make you the greatest ark U-tuber, honestly you are reviving a long time player to start again. A masterpiece.
This is an ABSOLUTELY amazing piece of work you guys pulled off amazing job
I have never taken my time to read these notes, knowing the story is fascinating.
The story told here combined with the video and music made the emotion come up in myself. Wondering what will happen, on the scorched lands. Thank you for making this.
Oh my god, this is great... please make all explorer notes...
That's the plan! > : D
@@NeddyTheNoodle -made by explorer notes-
Ark is the only game with a soundtrack that literally gives me chills
These stories are so beautifully represented!! I can't wait until the next one!!!
Omg this is freaken awesome! I love how you mentioned the yellow terbans as well?! 🤘🤘❤️
Saw the announcement of release on Reddit. Probably the best information video about ark out there
Please don't stop making more content like this. I've searched and waited for something like this for a long time! Please keep going and take all the time you need! ;)
