Bill is THAT ex who tries to drunkenly call you in the middle of the night asking for another chance even though he cheated on you and and then gas lights you into thinking that it was your fault that he did.
The worst/best part is that after the breakup, Bill did get wasted, and there were police reports. "Hi, yeah, I'm working the drive-though at Burrito Paradox Interd- Mexican Restaurant and there's a- (muffled sounds of explosions and screaming) There's a triangle, I think he had a lot to drink, he ordered "One Sixer, Please" we told him that didn't make any sense and he started crying and then ordered "infinite empanadas" and we told him we don't offer infinite empanadas anymore after they caused all those time loops, and he started just like, trashing the place.

HOLY AAAAAAA THE EMOTION IN THIS HITS SO HARD OH MY GOSH THE PORTRAYAL OF FORD’S DESCENT INTO PARANOIA EVEN PAST THE POINT OF HIS EXISTING ANXIETY IS SO WELL DONE AND THE MOVEMENTS AND EACH MOMENT FROM THE BOOK BEING EXPANDED UPON SO BEAUTIFULLY IM RAHHHHH YOURE SO COOL THIS IS FANTASTIC
This is the animatic of all time when it comes to Bill Cipher and his messed up relationship dynamic perspective with Ford. This is truly encapsulating how it feels to have a toxic ex and this is brilliant
Love to imagine that Ford is drinking Decaf coffee since Bill turned his normal coffee into decaf coffee. Being one of the lines from Bill's original disney villain song "Look at this looser drinking coffee, And now it's Decaf! Hahaha."
this is seriously the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. like the song choice, the rapid repetitive actions, the little things like the foot tapping - it all depicts ford’s desperation during this era so well! so good time to rewatch this a million times
When in the show Ford and Stanley finally see each other after 10 years apart, Ford says "You don't understand what I've been through" and Stanley yells at him saying that he doesn't know what suffering in life is, we would never imagine that he's actually been through this hell.
@@Sauavinoh actually they’re right! they’re talking about before the portal incident, when Stanley comes to Ford after he sends the postcard. it had been 10 years since they saw each other up until then
Omg this is beautiful??? In like every way??? Ok firstly Sleepwalk is the perfect song for this period of Ford’s life, and the art is beautiful, it has so much personality while being really professional looking. The backgrounds are also really good, this guy had so much Bill merch laying around its insane. You’ve encapsulated the absolute horror of this situation perfectly, the progressing mental and physical torture Bill puts Ford through makes him like 10x more terrifying to me than anything he did in Weirdmaggedon. The expressions are incredibly on point, Ford’s increasing fury every time he wakes to a new sticky note, him snapping from half asleep to frustrated or terrified, the little “gotchya!” face bill has after snatching up control from Ford. I like how there’s actually very little of Bill in this animatic, he only directly shows up for like 3 seconds at the end, but his presence is still incredibly felt throughout, and small segment we see of him is horrifying. Poor Ford :( Great work!
@@gracenewsom4694 Bill, using Stanford’s body, goes to a payphone and attempts to call his brother Stanley. He tells him that he never loved him, and is going to swim in the frozen lake. To Stanford’s immense relief, Bill didn’t put any money in, so the call doesn’t go through.
@@Artificer_ in spanish it says that he called Stanley in a phone Ford had in his house, but it didnt go through because the police had already taken it down-
The urge to show this animatic to everyone woobifying Bill in the wake of the Book of Bill These two were never on equal footing while they worked together!
Your animation is so dynamic! I especially love the angle at 0:52, you nailed the unhinged energy of the song and Ford's descent into madness. And the visual of everyone at the diner turning to face him mirroring the sketch in the journal pages?? Absolutely flawless, no notes.
YES YES YES--FINDING THIS ON EVERY PLATFORM I CAN CAUSE OH MY GOD. I LOVE THIS ANIMATIC SO MUCH. and youtube comments mean i can actually get into specifics about what I like HELL YEAH-- setting aside the fact that it is GORGEOUS--the perfectly carried gravity falls-ness, the shapes and expressions, the lighting, the lil DETAILS of the setpieces--I GASPED when I saw the computers they are so SICK-- the door code. ford using fiddlefords mittens to cover his knuckles. getting progressively more shaken. him hitting his head after downing the jug--he'd be hella dehydrated so thats GOTTA hurt--i only noticed on like my third watch but the memories being in bills eye and changing when he blinks?? in other words i am. absolutely FERAL for this animatic
oh my god words cannot DESCRIBE how good this is. If you were a storyboard artist for gravity falls I wouldn't be surprised, this looks like something straight out of the show. everything from the artstyle to how the movement is paced and how things are framed just fits the tone so well. And the body language, omg(ex: the knee bounces from ford at the desk). Wow
I SERIOUSLY love this! It genuinely depicts their relationship. There wasn't any romance, that's bull, Bill was just obsessive and manipulative towards Ford and Ford hated Bill. No romance, just horror and angs. Also I'm saying it again this animatic was so good😭✨👏
Initially, Ford was enamored with Bill… until he started realizing that Bill was a lunatic that was using him. Bill met Ford’s attempts to fix things with repeated displays of how powerless Ford was against him.
the expressions are so good!!!! ford's anger is so clear and powerful. you incorporated so many good details from the book of bill. I like how at 0:15 ford slowly covers up more and more of the tapestries. so any coffee cups..yikes he is not okay. he keeps the gloves on form fiddleford that's so sweet aaaahghh!!! I like how he gets more disheveled throughout as well. the detail at 0:30 is really cool. the timing at 0:34 of bill possessing ford as soon as the word "sleepwalk" happens is awesome! poor ford dealing with paranoia and shakiness and exhaustion :( you illustrate is all so well. the timing at 0:55 is very satisfying. the rooftop scene is so haunting oh my god. 1:03 this expression fits his betrayal and hatred and fear so well. when stan appeared at 1:13 I wanted to cry oh my god. he images stanley as a kid because he wishes he could go back to simpler times even though he denies it aaughgfj my heart :( I like how he's drawn at 1:20 a lot, there are so many good shapes and the expression is perfect. the way it ends on him curling up into a ball :( poor guy is so tired. I've watched this like 4 times now it's so good..I want to watch it again already
THIS GOES SO INCREDIBLY HARD OH MY GOD!! you portrayed the emotions of ford's paranoia so well and bill is just so TERRIFYING here!! and 10/10 song choice as well, everything about this is so well done you knocked it out of the park!! this is the angst gravity falls content I need to see and I'm going to go watch this again now
I clicked bc I wanted to see if it was the sleep walk I thought it was (love this song) but dawg wonderful animatic I love the "it becomes a problem" at the end with the bill silhouette getting bigger
I LITERALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS SONG UNTIL NOW WHAAA. Not only am I glad you reminded me of it since it’s been at least FOUR years since I last heard this song-not too bad but still a long time to forget it-and it’s a banger but the animatic is perfect with it. Ford was going through intense paranoia after the portal incident and without anyone at his side and UGH the way it unfolds here is so good. And Bill possessing a zombie just to mess with him-assuming that’s not a hallucination like how all the people in public have bills eyes-also added a layer of creativity to this cause I’d never expect that but it makes sense for him. Great work.
gosh even the subtle movements like his foot tapping and shifting gaze adds a whole new level of intensity. Honestly this is one of the most beautiful animations I've seen, and to one of my favorite songs no less!
OH OH OH OH THIS IS SO GOOD??? THE STICKY NOTES THROUGHOUT THE ANIMATION?? THE INCREASING PANIC AND FRUSTRATION??? Shoving this down my gullet without swallowing or breathing omg
“i pick one brilliant mind each century to inspire!” YOU MEAN DRIVE INSANE? Bill is the megalomaniac of all time. getting to this part in the book was an absolute trip, you really managed to bring it to life. well done! edit: i love the detail of Ford clutching his racing heart after the undead fiasco. reminds me of the line “whoa, don’t die of a heart attack, you’re not 92 yet!” this dude has to have heart issues considering his caffeine intake coupled with serious anxiety
THIS IS LITERALLY PERFECTLY HOW I IMAGINED ALL OF THE SCENES WHILE READING THE BOOK OH MY GOD HADHASHASDH YOU CAPTURED EVERYTHIGN SO PERFECTLY LIKE THE SONG IS SO MATCHING THE MOVEMENT THE STORYBOARD IM LITERALLY SO OBSESSED WITH THIS
God, just watching this unfold and knowing how badly this goes for ford makes me feel so bad. like he deserves so much, but BIll just makes things so much worse. the pain is so much. also that damn tape section????? this was phenomenal. you did an AMAZING job with this!
Hello?? I’m literally obsessed with this it’s so well made! You perfectly captured how I pictured ford would would be feeling and what he’d be seeing, it’s literally spot on! Nice job :)
THIS IS SO GOOD! The flow of the animatic is really well done especially the timing between frames !! The perspective is also really good and I really liked the coffee shot + the back shot of ford by the monitors/machines !!!! You portrayed the emotions so well that I could geniunely feel Ford's struggle and fear of being possessed - I didn't realise just how terrifying it was until you illustrated it so well! You have an awesome eye for rhythm and composition and this is a seriously good job !!! :D
i'm foaming at the mouth and gnawing at the iron bars of my enclosure watching this, legit one of the best animatics ive seen in a long time, ford they could never make me hate you
THIS IS SO GOOD OH MY GODDD I'M GOING NUTS OVER WHEN HE PULLS THE STICKY NOTES OFF HIS FACE AND GLARES AT THEM I never got over that page in Journal 3 where he saw everyone's eyes in town as if they were yellow and I'm so glad Book of Bill is dragging everyone out of the woodwork and into the public to talk about it hgjkfhskgjhsg
This is so well done! This is exactly how most of these scenes play out in my head. I think my favorite part is the Zom-Bill expressions. (And yes, I noticed your little codes)
I cant even express how much I love this animatic. Theres just something about it that makes it so stressful as it goes on. You can really feel how it’s taking over his life. (Also your art is very pretty!)
omg amazing!!! Genuinely your art is so great, and the animation is so smooth, and the portrayal of Ford's descent into paranoia is so well done, AHH. I love this so much, I'm about to watch it over and over and over and over
this song is SOOOO them 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 your art is incredible. i LOVE the way you portray emotions. the sticky notes on his glasses to leave a message to him.... everyone turning towards ford with bill's eyes was so creepy. im never gonna get over them (just like bill is never gonna get over ford)
damn I like pre-portal billford a lot but this kinda angst and toxic relationship with someone as insane as bill is so good as representation for what happens when you turn down such a needy jerk. i feel so sorry for ford :( i can imagine how betrayed he might feel on the background of what nightmare bill is putting him through even now..
I'm totally wordless... THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ANINATICS I'VE SEEN ON THIS PLATFORM!!! 🤩🤩🤩 Kudos, and be proud of this freaking masterpiece you made 🥹
RAHHH HOLY FREAK this is so good omg!!! the little details in the bg, ford tapping his foot and hitting himself in the head and trying his darndest to stay awake ALSO THE CODE YOUUUUUUUU YOUUUUUUU geez I love this sm
THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE literally every frame was drawn so well oh my goodness I love this song and it fits so well with Ford!! You really captured his paranoia and spiralling so well the expressions are all on point RAHHGGH I LOVE THIS
I’m just repeating what everyone else here is saying, but this is worth it. Absolutely incredible! The way you managed to convey the horror within the lost pages, mixed with some of the things included in Journal 3. Just. Well done! Thank you so much for this!
THIS IS INSANE IT'S SO GOOD. I SAW THIS ON TIKTOK AND RAN OVER TO SEE THE FULL VERSION. WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. LITERALLY AMAZING. WILL WATCH 7 BILLION MORE TIMES.
dude i hope you're ready cause this is gonna blow up just you wait haha the amount of time, patience, and effort you put into this is oozing from each scene!! Sleepwalk was a perfect choice for this, im surprised i havent seen many other animatics using it!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us all! 💚:o)
I can't even describe how much I adore this animatic, it's so emotional, it keeps the tension, IT'S SO CANON I can't, I just can't, it's too good, too perfect, I can't stop rewatching it, it's doing something with my brain and I don't mind it
I keep watching this over and over again this past couple weeks. THIS IS SO AMAZING I LOVE IT AND THE SONG REALLY DOES FIT SO PERFECTLY! 🫶 ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ANIMATIC, YOU CAPTURED THE ART STYLE BEAUTIFULLY! 💖💫🤩 I actually just started watched Gravity Falls this month and I’m obsessed. I’m so glad I finally decided to watch it. :D It’s incredible! I especially love watching behind the scenes, how Alex got the idea for the show, and the creation of it! ✨
HOW THE HECK DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 1k VEIWS?!???!? IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR SOMEONE TO ANIMATE SOMETHING LIKE THIS THIS IS PHENOMENAL HOLY- ALEX NEEDS TO SEE THIS 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is actually incredible. I hope this gets the recognition it deserves. S-tier animation, happy to say I was here in the first 12 hours since posting. 10/10
this is literally the coolest thing ive ever seen in my life this is EXACTLY the animatic i was desperately craving from tbob i owe you my life this rules SO FUCKING MUCH AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
This is literally perfect it's so amazingly done, both the art and as some people mentioned the emotion. The 7k views in just 15 hours are well deserved and in fact, this deserves way more!!

HUH??? MY HEART FLUTTERED AT THIS ?? 😭 EXCUSE ME??
I love how Ford is so cute and squishy, yet tortured at the same time. Kudos to you!
Absolutely beautiful!
I saw some of my fav animatics in your fav animatics playlist. Gotta say, you got good taste my friend :)
OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH I CAN'T GET ENOUGH YOU LITERALY NAILED THEIR RELATIONSHIP THIS VIDEO IS SO FREAKING GOOD
OH MY GOD
SLEEPWALK
ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANIMATION MEMES!!?!
THIS IS SOOOO GOOOD
I LOVE IT 🗣️💐✨
THIS IS PERFECT AHH
this itches my brain in the best way possible
omg amazing!!! Genuinely your art is so great, and the animation is so smooth, and the portrayal of Ford's descent into paranoia is so well done, AHH. I love this so much, I'm about to watch it over and over and over and over
this song is SOOOO them 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
your art is incredible. i LOVE the way you portray emotions. the sticky notes on his glasses to leave a message to him.... everyone turning towards ford with bill's eyes was so creepy. im never gonna get over them (just like bill is never gonna get over ford)
damn I like pre-portal billford a lot but this kinda angst and toxic relationship with someone as insane as bill is so good as representation for what happens when you turn down such a needy jerk. i feel so sorry for ford :( i can imagine how betrayed he might feel on the background of what nightmare bill is putting him through even now..
I'm totally wordless...
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ANINATICS I'VE SEEN ON THIS PLATFORM!!! 🤩🤩🤩
Kudos, and be proud of this freaking masterpiece you made 🥹

“How many times have you watched this?”
Me: Yes
I can't even describe how much I adore this animatic, it's so emotional, it keeps the tension, IT'S SO CANON I can't, I just can't, it's too good, too perfect, I can't stop rewatching it, it's doing something with my brain and I don't mind it
Fords expressions, the backgrounds, the music sync, this is so PERFECT!! Ive rewatched this so many times and love it sm
i like how much people are noticing the foot tapping
I keep watching this over and over again this past couple weeks. THIS IS SO AMAZING I LOVE IT AND THE SONG REALLY DOES FIT SO PERFECTLY! 🫶 ABSOLUTELY AMAZING ANIMATIC, YOU CAPTURED THE ART STYLE BEAUTIFULLY! 💖💫🤩 I actually just started watched Gravity Falls this month and I’m obsessed. I’m so glad I finally decided to watch it. :D It’s incredible! I especially love watching behind the scenes, how Alex got the idea for the show, and the creation of it! ✨
This song is absolutely great for Ford and Bill and I am SO HAPPY someone made an animatic around it!!! Good job!!!
