It’s sad ppl forget that at the end of the day vi was a scared child just like powder , put in adult positions and having to shoulder a lot of all she has longed for is a family
In fact there is a great chance for a "happy ending" - just not how we imagine it. The two sisters have a chance to act differently than their father figures (Vander and Silco) so yeah, I think it will be a middle point between the three!! (Caitlyn, Vi and Jinx)
Jinx being the dependable big sister to child Vi in the cell had me tearing up a little, I won't lie. The Arcane we'll never get, I suspect. :') Seriously incredible work, this needs way more views!
My sincerest thanks that you felt this way about that part of the film, because even if it doesn't happen in the show, the scene still resonated somewhere and that matters a lot to me. I've been thinking a lot about how Amanda Overton described the next season and it's somewhat influenced the path I took to complete this film.
@@aXL99-tv Ahh, post season 2 me checking in to say you were spot on with your interpretations (hope that's not a spoiler!). Kept thinking back to this little film all throughout the season. I'd like to think the show writers were inspired! Amazing job once again. :)
@@EgotisticalSlug To be perfectly honest with you, I didn't set out to predict anything in season 2 through this personal project - that's not my job - but I was shocked and delighted with the childhood and flashback scenes. And Vi humming the song made my heart melt. Vi and Jinx really did come from a family raised with love and they still care for one another after all this time. Very grateful to know that this still had an impact on you and others who came back to watch this after the series finale. So thank you all :)
Dude. PURE ART, I got chills all up and down my spine. Some details in particular stood out: Caitlyn secretly following Vi to keep her safe and masterfully parcouring all over the Undercity (over the very same route that nearly killed her the first time around); the suspense built up by having Vi's hair covering her schrodinger's shimmer-eye; and the meticulous attention to the difference in nose shape between the girls. Superb work!! ❤
Even in season one I was surprised Caitlyn was even able to keep up with Vi with a huge head start. I thought it appropriate Caitlyn would eventually learn how to move efficiently through Zaun. I liked how Fortiche made sure every character was extremely distinct in their own right so these little nuances had to be consistent in my drawings. Thank you very much for giving this film a chance~!
Partly why I made this to begin with. I had so many questions left over after the show that I dunno if they'll ever answer. And I just know s2's gonna hurt us again. But that's what fan projects are for, so thanks for stopping by and giving this film a chance :D
That part with Jinx forgiving Vi and more childhood scenes are necessities for Season 2. Everything about this was so powerful heartbreaking, I've been in awe since the ten second mark 😭👏👏 This nearly brought me to tears. It's been so long since I've seen a fan animation with this much effort and dedication put in. It's 100% an inspiration to me as a fellow animator. It's incredible how much more this builds upon Arcane and I hope it'll get more attention soon. I'm so lucky this just happened to be in my recommended, because there's no better way to prepare for Arcane season 2 without a beautiful alternate ending like this 🔥
TBSkyen sent me here and god damn, this is the kind of quality I hope to achieve in my animatics. the cinematography, background design, acting, and lighting are all fantastic!
Back in animation school, our teachers were Disney and Don Bluth stans who also liked everything coming out of Gobelins so the standards for quality were super high - like everything had to have a filmic cinematic quality to it and not at all feel like it was made for tv. The cognitive load is kind of a lot so younger me focused on telling a story in the most economical way possible and layer stylization choices with framing and editing on top. Pacing was something I had to feel out more over time when I used to do live action commercials and music videos. The crazy part is the way this film is boarded is it's a very unsustainable way of doing storyboards as a whole as it's exactly what places like Disney and Pixar and Fortiche would do - they have the time and budget. TV and other streaming projects generally don't. So try to take things easy when you're doing story reels! Animatics are polished storyboards for the big wigs. Overanimating poses in storyboards is too much work and you'd generally want your animators to be able to have some wiggle room to build on top of the performance in your boards - however you choose to negotiate the division of work with them. All the best in your animatic endeavors!
@@aXL99-tv thanks so much for the reply, I really appreciate the feedback. I can definitely see how maintaining this level of quality would be draining, especially in an environment like TV where it’s all really fast paced work. Im currently looking to get a job in storyboarding so I can get some experience working in a real pipeline. So I’ll definitely keep your advice in mind when building my portfolio. Anime is what got me interested in doing this in the first place so Id love to eventually work on a tv show like Arcane or Avatar that use a more cinematic language. Unfortunately there don’t seem to be a whole lot of shows in america with that kind of focus so it might serve me to go into film, Im not really sure. But eventually I’d love to try making my own show just for UA-cam or something. There’s a story Ive been working on for years that I haven’t really known what format to tell it in. I’m only a one person team, so I don’t intend to fully animate things. And despite my love for movement, I think I’ll likely have to sacrifice a lot of it for time and effort’s sake. I feel less bad about that looking at your work tho, as well as other storyboarders I see online. By framing things well, with lighting and clear acting, it’s plenty interesting without the need for a bunch of frames. It’s all a long ways off and from what I can tell I wouldn’t even be doing lighting most of the time for professional storyboard but I’ll keep your advice in mind going forward, thanks again for the reply and insights into your process and the industry
This is truly a masterpiece! I love everything about it, the art itself, the grayscale with blue being the only colour, the pacing, the camera movement, and of course the actual story! Massive well done!
@@aXL99-tvThank you and everyone involved for making this!! I love to analyse animatics and animations, as I know a lot of love and care is often put into them!
This is an absolutely stunning storyboard full of so many meticulous details, both story wise and art wise. I love how Jinx’s perspective on Caitlin changes throughout the story. She was originally a monster from Piltover who stole her sister, but now she is someone reminiscent of her mother (a very high compliment from someone like Jinx). I also love how this is all mostly told through Vi’s perspective. We see her upbringing with Jinx, her struggles, and her lowest and highest points. This is making me SO excited for season 2 - I hope that we get some development like this!! 💕💕
It's going to be less than 24 hours for the last episodes of Arcane and last time to see Vi, Jinx and Caitlyn and here I am choking up because this absolutely stunning and emotional storyboard. Thank you for the feels. Just gonna curl up in the corner and cry....
This is way better than what we ended up getting and I don’t mean emotionally I mean story wise the characterization is balls the actor’s performance were beautiful but the way it was played out felt so empty and rushed luckily we have artists like you that ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO WRITE GOOD STORYTELLING AND STAYS FOCUSED ON THE MAIN PLOT LINE THAT DOESN’T GET SIDETRACKED AND DECIDE TO PULL A MCU MOVE HAVING A WHOLE MULTIVERSE PLOT THAT WASNT NEEDED AND…I’m rambling I’m rambling just so disappointed to what we got 😢
I don't think I ever expected the multiverse but then again, time travel and Ekko went hand in hand and they had to explain that. Hindsight is always 20/20 on a show. But in any case I made this on the heels of s1 ending and I'm just happy this resonated with you even after s2's finale. Thanks for stopping by!
I'm happy you love the artwork!! Storytelling without dialogue is one of the things I was taught to do because you can't always rely on dialogue to carry a performance. I wanted this film to reach a wide audience without need of localization. Early day Disney films in the 1920s tried this but my gold standard was Triplets of Belleville. It's a whole feature film that managed to not have any dialogue or written words that "told" the audience what the story was about - instead choosing to rely on visual storytelling clues instead.
Bro. This. Is. INCREDIBLE. I can’t believe that I just saw this on my FYP and gave it a shot. Literally everyone needs to. The fact that it made me cry too😭 The absolute love, care, time, and talent put into this… Absolute art in every way ❤️
It's amazing how much one can say without the use of words. It's a nice touch honestly, seeing how much through visual storytelling and the interactions of the characters that we can just see how they're thinking. What issues they're still carrying even after everything. It's not just the experiences in the show Arcane that they're carrying but the baggage from a terrible, terrible childhood, and those small spots of hope from a childhood they've become so disconnected from. It's so subtle in the show that Caitlyn reminds Vi of her mom while she's hallucinating, but I like that this touches on it too. That Caitlyn reminds Jinx of her mom just as much as Vi, and that thought terrifies her. It brings back her worst delusions. Yet here we see a resolution, or at least a momentary truce, enjoying memories of better days, looking over PIltover on what seems to be Progress Day. A broken family reuniting.
this is amazing. i truly want this for the three of them. i know jinx isn't some kind of mindless killing machine, arcane gave depth to her psycho character. plus, it also made more depth to caitlyn and vi's relationship since they've been long branded as piltover's finest, it must mean they have a relationship that emphasizes they're trust and cooperation for one another. this right here, is incredibly well-written and i will not deny it made me cry since i wish for arcane to turn in some kind of peace since these characters complement each other very well. i love this. this is art.
I’m crying really hard now, after all the pain and suffer, they deserve to live a happy and peaceful life like this.The way Jinx ran to hug her sister, let off the blue fireworks, and quietly crying on Vi's shoulder just break my heart, my babies need to have their time, for their lost years, and to celebrate the reunion. Arcane story is about sisters at first 😢😢😢this is really a incredible masterpiece thank you for showing us this❤️🥺
The fact that y'all have probably been planning and working on this since s1 ended but the time and effort you all put in is absolutely worth it this is a literal masterpiece ‼️
People are sleeping on this short so hard, it should have heaps more views! This clearly took you months if not a year based on the detail and how the art quality gets better and better as it goes. Really awesome, mad kudos to you
The moment I realized you had an acoustic down tempo cover of Enemies in here, I knew you had something good. That ending showed me you had something GREAT.
this is so beautiful. Like I haven't sobbed enough about these two already, here I am just crying. Very very beautiful and amazing storytelling. Love it!!!
I love this! And I loved the sisters going back through their ages, to reconnect, to forgive, to be angry or sad with, all of it. Perfectly executed, well done! ❤
Wtf?! This is incredible!! So detailed! Everything felt so incredible in-character! The way Caitlyn is still suspicious of Jinx but softened up by the end, how Jinx feels at fault for Vi's condition and how she later uses the fireworks!!! SYMBOLIC MAN 😭 And Vi sits right between them, holding them both, oml
I really liked this movie. Excellent work. You perfectly managed to bring the atmosphere of the film to life. I'm really looking forward to the second season and this video came in very handy. Makes waiting easier. Thank you very much for the experience. The sequel is coming! 💙
The thing about tragedies is you gotta let people breathe, grieve, have a fluffy moment - you gotta have a moment to be kind after being cruel. Because you just put them through a lot during the show. And this was how I felt after season one! I mean it's not my job to predict or fix things, but headcanons? Sure I can do that.
This is soooooo gorgeous. From the art to the storytelling to the freaking atmosphere. I love it so much. It felt so much like when i first watched the show. It's nostalgic and beautiful, and the whole animatic is so well thought out, and the subtle parallels and flashbacks to moments in the show and before are beautiful. Im just fan girling at this point but well done. You made me relive the same love i had for the show when i first watched it and got me excited for season 2 (and i was already excited)
A dream of a different, happier path... So bittersweet. Also, honorable mention to Tbskyn AND Overly Sarcastic Productions? What is this, a parade of my favorites?
I've watched this so many times, and oh boy, it's become my top UA-cam music pick-no kidding! The amount of emotion, passion, and dedication you poured into these characters is incredible. I wish the story had ended like this. This ending feels so much better than Season 2 because it gives the characters room to breathe and spend quality time to gether. It's absolutely PHENOMENAL-chef's kiss! 😘
Buddy, I NEED you to animate the second season so I can have some reconciliation and love in this show, I'm losing my mind. LOOK AT HOW HAPPY THEY COULD BE AAAAAHHH😭 THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Omg I love this take so much its so cool! How much time did you spend on it! I love the way you drew everything it's so pleasing as well! And omg the way you drew Vi whenever she was in pain was so heartbreaking like holy sh!t.
I spent evenings and weekends for roughly over a year, I was finished with the storyboards/temp audio/editing around May and then I contacted a buddy in the fandom - www.youtube.com/@soothingsoundsmusic1475 - to see if they were interested in writing music and then pinged another buddy at Brass Door Audio for sound design. Several months later, here we are!
This is awesome. It is now added it to an Arcane related playlist I have. I also really liked those Honorable Mentions. (TB Skyen's community post sent me here and I follow Schnee and OSP)
I wasn't all that familiar with League of Legends lore and needed all the help I could get, so their videos really helped me make sure my depiction of the characters worked between what was established by Riot and Fortiche - just really think about those relationships. I actually had a couple sad endings planned for this film, but one of OSP's vids convinced me otherwise. So I decided if Fortiche was going to stab us in the heart anyway, I'd rather give everyone something fluffy instead. Remembering how love and grief and forgiveness works meant however the characters chose to move forward, those feelings and memories will always remain.
This honestly made me tear up the first time I watched it! 😭 It's so impressive and beautifully well done! The visuals, the music, and just all the tiny details (like Jinx's eye appearing in the shadowy corner at 5:46), it's an absolute MASTERPIECE! I know Arcane will probably have a more tragic ending that will rip our hearts out, but this is the ending the characters deserve ❤
@@aXL99-tv I feel so honored that you replied! Noticing Jinx hidden in some of the shots was the main reason I made the comment because I didn't see anyone else talking about it, and I just thought that was such a cool and intricate detail to add
SPOILERS FOR ARCANE SEASON 2: Ironic that In the end of the arcane series,Vi actually hums a song in her last scene and when Caitlyn asks where it’s from,she reveals it’s a song from her mother. It’s quite the headcanon that just maybe it’s that lullaby their mother hums in this animatic. Beautiful work!
This is so well done. The lighting is 😩😩 and the amount of emotion you express with just facial expressions is unreal. I especially loved the evolution of Cat making her way much faster to show how much time she’s spent with Vi
This is truly one of the best Arcane related fan projects i've ever seen. The emotion in the drawing is absolute greatness, as the music and effects added, perfectly mixed in. You have a bright path ahead on your works, never give up, keep up the work, and step by step...i'm sure you'll make history
This is impeccable!! The art, the story! I was hooked with eveyr emotion and every twist and turn of the story! You can tell hoe much work has been put into this from every fine detail and the sheer emotion within it and you can tell what's happening without even a single word being spoken. Absolutely amazing 👏🏻
I love this so much. The style. The switch between flashbacks and jinx’s reality. But what is the best part for me is vi humming the song from the bridge. This is BRILLIANT!❤
This was amazing! And heartbreaking. The scene with the Vander statue reminds me of the framed picture we have of my late mother in the hall. It hurts to lose those we care about, and to think of how things could have been different, but it helps to appreciate what good times you had. And to appreciate the people you still have. I’m really glad my sister is making more of an effort to better communicate with me after all the events that happened. I was never as close to her as Jinx and Vi were, but hopefully, someday we will be.
A bit late to the party, but what a fucking masterpiece right here. Clicked on it and didn't expect to be left with so much emotion. PROPS TO YOU for dedicating your time to this video, the passion and talent is apparent in every little second of it and it seems like you nailed just about everything
This is absolutely insane oh my god… Not only is the art beautiful but the STORYTELLING AND THE DETAILS OMG I just LOVE how every scene connects to the series in a way that is so symbolic, hell in 1:03 when Powder’s hand turns into the bars shadow I GASPED!! You even added scenes that weren’t in the series and they ALL make sense instead of being “stuffed” in for mere referencing purposes The character writing is just STUNNING, I also love the fact that Caitlyn looks a bit like Vi & Powder’s mom and you developed that beautifully!! I can write a whole paragraph for each scene oml this is just🔥🔥 The ending we always wanted 😭
The pacing, the art in the large and small details. The characterization and the tone of tragedy and angst that is then rewarded with an earned happy ending. And the music... A work of art worthy of great commendation. My compliments to all involved.
IT WAS ALL SUPPOSED TO END LIKE THIS
Maybe this is a epilogue
It’s sad ppl forget that at the end of the day vi was a scared child just like powder , put in adult positions and having to shoulder a lot of all she has longed for is a family
I know it's only been a couple hours but this needs millions of views.
I'm very happy this film made you feel this way, I'm glad you enjoyed it this much!
Agreed
FR
Aggressively agree
I know its only been 7 months but this needs millions of views
Y’all better enjoy how good this ending is because I doubt Arcane will end any other way than tragedy
stopp let me dream 😭😭

Truly an incredible piece of art.

TBSkyen!! Thank you so very much! I am both humbled and enthused a fellow animation nerd like yourself had enjoyed this film~
All this is canon in my head. Period. Perfect!
Back here after season 2 ended today… it’s still as emotional as it was the fist time 😭😭😭😭
I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR THIS LEVEL OF EMOTIONAL DAMAGE especially since i know we're not going to get such a happy ending in s2 😭

The ending they deserve to be honest.

Started the year with a bang, i see🤭
That was lovely and fingers crossed we get such a sweet ending in Arcane 2, thanks a lot for sharing this with us.
Happy New Year to all!
getting recommended after a year and after arcane ending is pretty amazing yet sad, and lemme tell you, you’ve an incredible talent in storytelling
Bro. This. Is. INCREDIBLE. I can’t believe that I just saw this on my FYP and gave it a shot. Literally everyone needs to.
The fact that it made me cry too😭 The absolute love, care, time, and talent put into this… Absolute art in every way ❤️
i dont understand how this video is not talked about enough, this should have atleast a few hundred thousand views already
I think you didn't realize how amazing this was. You made it look like something someone inside Riot would do. I'm shocked. Congrats.

Just in that part you realized that this may be good?
Nobody will convince me otherwise, this'll be the ending of arcane season 2
God after season 2 act 1, this short just made me hurt more. Great job, but my poor heart.
Only got recommended this video after ss2 but hey I love your take on the story and the music was phenomenal!!!
this is so beautiful. Like I haven't sobbed enough about these two already, here I am just crying. Very very beautiful and amazing storytelling. Love it!!!
I love this! And I loved the sisters going back through their ages, to reconnect, to forgive, to be angry or sad with, all of it. Perfectly executed, well done! ❤
Wtf?! This is incredible!! So detailed! Everything felt so incredible in-character! The way Caitlyn is still suspicious of Jinx but softened up by the end, how Jinx feels at fault for Vi's condition and how she later uses the fireworks!!! SYMBOLIC MAN 😭 And Vi sits right between them, holding them both, oml
In another alternate timeline it ended like this 😭 This is beautiful, you did an amazing job!
I really liked this movie. Excellent work. You perfectly managed to bring the atmosphere of the film to life. I'm really looking forward to the second season and this video came in very handy. Makes waiting easier. Thank you very much for the experience. The sequel is coming! 💙
Heyyy Caitlyn finally learned how to parkour!!
After the finale of season 2 this is hitting harder omg 😭
The thing about tragedies is you gotta let people breathe, grieve, have a fluffy moment - you gotta have a moment to be kind after being cruel. Because you just put them through a lot during the show. And this was how I felt after season one! I mean it's not my job to predict or fix things, but headcanons? Sure I can do that.
Bro this so good I was deadass scared I got spoiled by a leaked storyboard
My thanks for the compliment and my apologies for the slight scare lol~ Glad you enjoyed this!
Bro how is it better that a whole as S2 💀💀💀
This is heartbraking but so beautifully made! Awesome job!
The ending we needed, but not the one we deserved
This is soooooo gorgeous. From the art to the storytelling to the freaking atmosphere. I love it so much. It felt so much like when i first watched the show. It's nostalgic and beautiful, and the whole animatic is so well thought out, and the subtle parallels and flashbacks to moments in the show and before are beautiful. Im just fan girling at this point but well done. You made me relive the same love i had for the show when i first watched it and got me excited for season 2 (and i was already excited)
A dream of a different, happier path... So bittersweet.
Also, honorable mention to Tbskyn AND Overly Sarcastic Productions? What is this, a parade of my favorites?
a parade of some of my favourite nerds
I've watched this so many times, and oh boy, it's become my top UA-cam music pick-no kidding! The amount of emotion, passion, and dedication you poured into these characters is incredible. I wish the story had ended like this. This ending feels so much better than Season 2 because it gives the characters room to breathe and spend quality time to
gether. It's absolutely PHENOMENAL-chef's kiss! 😘
This is unreal, what incredible art and storytelling
Buddy, I NEED you to animate the second season so I can have some reconciliation and love in this show, I'm losing my mind. LOOK AT HOW HAPPY THEY COULD BE AAAAAHHH😭 THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL
I'm literally crying! Thank you for this beautiful work! 🙏🏼💞
This was so cute, it made me cry so much!
The art was amazing, thank you for making this!
Just incredible master of art! Thank you!
You’re the kind of artist I aspire to be. Thank you.
Beautiful, just Beautiful
Omg I love this take so much its so cool! How much time did you spend on it! I love the way you drew everything it's so pleasing as well! And omg the way you drew Vi whenever she was in pain was so heartbreaking like holy sh!t.
I spent evenings and weekends for roughly over a year, I was finished with the storyboards/temp audio/editing around May and then I contacted a buddy in the fandom - www.youtube.com/@soothingsoundsmusic1475 - to see if they were interested in writing music and then pinged another buddy at Brass Door Audio for sound design. Several months later, here we are!
Holy shit, this was so good! Amazing work! Just thinking about the time it took. I am in awe!
this is incredible! the amount of effort that went into this must be insane. How does this not have more views
Fue increíble, me hizo llorar y me dió alta tristeza ver a VI en prisión toda herida 😢 ❤❤❤❤
This is awesome. It is now added it to an Arcane related playlist I have.
I also really liked those Honorable Mentions. (TB Skyen's community post sent me here and I follow Schnee and OSP)
I wasn't all that familiar with League of Legends lore and needed all the help I could get, so their videos really helped me make sure my depiction of the characters worked between what was established by Riot and Fortiche - just really think about those relationships. I actually had a couple sad endings planned for this film, but one of OSP's vids convinced me otherwise. So I decided if Fortiche was going to stab us in the heart anyway, I'd rather give everyone something fluffy instead. Remembering how love and grief and forgiveness works meant however the characters chose to move forward, those feelings and memories will always remain.
@@aXL99-tv I would say what you learned from them payed off. I felt that ending really fit the characters.
every panel of this is just beautiful :(
This honestly made me tear up the first time I watched it! 😭 It's so impressive and beautifully well done! The visuals, the music, and just all the tiny details (like Jinx's eye appearing in the shadowy corner at 5:46), it's an absolute MASTERPIECE! I know Arcane will probably have a more tragic ending that will rip our hearts out, but this is the ending the characters deserve ❤
You're the first person here who found a Jinx I hid in one of the shots lol, congrats!
@@aXL99-tv I feel so honored that you replied! Noticing Jinx hidden in some of the shots was the main reason I made the comment because I didn't see anyone else talking about it, and I just thought that was such a cool and intricate detail to add
SPOILERS FOR ARCANE SEASON 2:
Ironic that In the end of the arcane series,Vi actually hums a song in her last scene and when Caitlyn asks where it’s from,she reveals it’s a song from her mother. It’s quite the headcanon that just maybe it’s that lullaby their mother hums in this animatic. Beautiful work!
My god what an amazing work of art. I love everything about it.
This is cannon now
This is how I expect arcane to end 😭
Bad news, I doubt it will have an ending even remotely close to this.
Lol your expectations are quite....off the mark
Im speachless ❤ this is amazing
Touched, moved and inspired. Thank you.
I love this❤❤❤
The happy moment of Vi and Powder that Arcane couldn't give me, this fan made gave me. Thank you very much for doing this, I love you
Best storyline i have ever seen
This is so well done. The lighting is 😩😩 and the amount of emotion you express with just facial expressions is unreal. I especially loved the evolution of Cat making her way much faster to show how much time she’s spent with Vi
that brought tears to my eyes🥹 Thank you for this piece of Art 🖤
Absolutely stunning work, everyone did an amazing job! Got me over here sobbing about what a happy ending could look like for the three of them
This is truly one of the best Arcane related fan projects i've ever seen. The emotion in the drawing is absolute greatness, as the music and effects added, perfectly mixed in. You have a bright path ahead on your works, never give up, keep up the work, and step by step...i'm sure you'll make history
This is beautiful. I just know the algorithm will push this so all Arcane viewers can see! Amazing work.
This is impeccable!! The art, the story! I was hooked with eveyr emotion and every twist and turn of the story! You can tell hoe much work has been put into this from every fine detail and the sheer emotion within it and you can tell what's happening without even a single word being spoken. Absolutely amazing 👏🏻
Man I love seeing this after finishing season 2
Une pure merveille si seulement l'histoire se terminait ainsi...😓.
Beau travail ❤
I love this so much. The style. The switch between flashbacks and jinx’s reality. But what is the best part for me is vi humming the song from the bridge. This is BRILLIANT!❤
You brought a tear to my eye 😢👏
How I so wish this could be a real scene.
Someone send this to Fortiche
I didn’t notice there was no voice acting until the storyboard was almost over-which really shows how well written this is, great job!!
This is great! Definitely better than what we've got in S2.
This is incredible. Holy jeez. Amazing work!!
This was amazing! And heartbreaking. The scene with the Vander statue reminds me of the framed picture we have of my late mother in the hall. It hurts to lose those we care about, and to think of how things could have been different, but it helps to appreciate what good times you had. And to appreciate the people you still have. I’m really glad my sister is making more of an effort to better communicate with me after all the events that happened. I was never as close to her as Jinx and Vi were, but hopefully, someday we will be.
A bit late to the party, but what a fucking masterpiece right here. Clicked on it and didn't expect to be left with so much emotion. PROPS TO YOU for dedicating your time to this video, the passion and talent is apparent in every little second of it and it seems like you nailed just about everything
This is absolutely insane oh my god… Not only is the art beautiful but the STORYTELLING AND THE DETAILS OMG I just LOVE how every scene connects to the series in a way that is so symbolic, hell in 1:03 when Powder’s hand turns into the bars shadow I GASPED!!
You even added scenes that weren’t in the series and they ALL make sense instead of being “stuffed” in for mere referencing purposes
The character writing is just STUNNING, I also love the fact that Caitlyn looks a bit like Vi & Powder’s mom and you developed that beautifully!! I can write a whole paragraph for each scene oml this is just🔥🔥 The ending we always wanted 😭
The pacing, the art in the large and small details. The characterization and the tone of tragedy and angst that is then rewarded with an earned happy ending. And the music...
A work of art worthy of great commendation. My compliments to all involved.
