By the way, to the new people listening to this for the first time, we do have four albums on spotify under the name "fish in a birdcage" if you like this song and want to hear more of our work. 🙂
@@whitefang2312 its a serious honor for me. I love watching it reach people and love seeing it inspire amazing things like what Riley did. So cool. Makes all the hard work worth it.
@@Whatsthis4 I really enjoyed “I’m ready now” or “the problem with evil” or “our word” and “Lena me your voice” as you can tell I like angst and emotional stuff lol 😂
Not animated, but my familiarity with the show is 100% through this amazing comic some person makes in the original animation style, that keeps getting new episodes posted on image sharing communities.
It’s stuff like this that makes me appreciate Luz as a protagonist all the more than I already do. The moment that she realized that he was around her age was when she showed him the light. She made him feel like an actual person and when he was scolded by her, it came from her sense of empathy and desire to protect the palismen. One of those palismen being Flapjack. She allowed the two to meet and allowing for his development by having him care for a palismen that’s stubborn to stay by his side. Amity after being with Luz for so long begins to understand not needing to justify her own existence and relays that information to Hunter and how he shouldn’t have the need to justify his own existence. However him seeing the key sets him off but it turns around as he learns Flapjack’s name and begins to bond with him due to him never once leaving his side. Willow and Gus are what truly brought the best out of him thanks to both of them having a clean slate with him and not knowing all too much about him. Thanks to a confident Willow and Gus keeping an eye on him. Hunter sees them for who they really are. Strong and caring friends. Unrelated but if it wasn’t for Luz ever coming to the Boiling Isles, Willow would be working for Amity without her ever getting any development. Gus also brought out the better in Hunter thanks to his general caring nature and sort of got him to act as an older brother to him by protecting Gus from Gray. Ironically the deep breathing Gus told Hunter about was originally from Willow, once again leaning into Hunter’s affection for Willow kicking in. Hunter owes so much to Luz as she was the one who helped him see the truth for what it is and being the one to lend a helping sleeve as he sinks deeper into Belos’ mindscape. She even told the Hexside gang to not scare Hunter away because she knew that he was in a terrible mental state. And because of that, it allowed him to not be antagonized by the school and allowed him the opportunity to truly turn sides. Now he wakes up not in the grasp of Belos(entirely). But instead surrounded by people that care about him and are willing to help him. It’s just as Eda once said, “My life is pretty great because I’m friends with Luz the Human”
@@infinityheart_tm9270 I mean the reason Willow was under Amity this whole time is because she was told she was weak and was under the mindset that she was and then never came to breaking out of that. But I feel like it could’ve been resolved somehow eventually by either Willow or Amity but definitely Luz sped up this process and gave them a healthier start.
1:27 This shot where Hunter's hopeful eyes are replaced by Belos' angry eyes is incredible. Where Hunter sees getting the key as a victory, Belos sees as failure.
2:45 wanted to get a closer look at willow and amity being besties but was pleasantly surprised to find a coven scout in the family guy death pose. amazing attention to detail!
@@travistwaite7502 i mean like the fact is very sad in nature, it was a lighthearted joke. i cant tell if youre trying to say a rude joke to me because you interpretted what i said as an insult but i meant to make u laugh, not cause harm, have a nice day
THIS WAS SO GOOD, OH MY GOD. I absolutely love the direction you took with all the different scenes, and the "brother" being represented by different people involved with his story! And the little moments too, like Hunter just frantically grabbing Flapjack close to his chest the moment he spies Belos, because he knows what'll happen, oh my god that hit my heart. And god, the framing was already so good, BUT THEN THAT HOLLOW MIND SECTION HIT. That circling effect, it feels nauseating, like how the impact of everything must feel. And that ending! Oh my god, just. The aftermath of the finale and the exhausted feeling of it all is. Oh my god I cannot love this enough, it hits all the right places!!
Yeah the lyrics really work for the different sections. Belos being a bird lying to a fish about what it can be, then Luz being the sibling that starts to open his eyes to the world, flapjack providing empathy, the emerald entrails providing something new as well a feeling of belonging, then back to Belos’s lies and manipulation, then Luz opening his eyes fully and Gus helping him through it. Ah it’s so good and well thought out!
I would have said similar things about this video if i wasnt so tired! It's so good, espically how it all was matched to the music. I am saving this to my playlists
This animatic brings me pure joy in a way I can’t explain. Luz’s relationship with Hunter is one of the best I’ve ever seen. She took a puppet of Belos’s and showed him that he was following the wrong path. The way she comforted him in Thanks To Them, when they went into the basement of the old house in search of Belos, where she told him that they were family was such an important role for Hunter. Belos never told him that he loved him, or even really that he cared, compared to Luz telling him that he was family now, and hugging him. It’s such a small scene with so much emotion packed into it. For sure my favorite scene in the show.
Wow, this fits perfectly, while Hunter is facing his problems, Luz is hiding them on her self in the end. Just like how it Reference in the "what now?" spoiler art
another thing I love to mention, he last verse of the song "Brother of mine" instead Luz was counting on Hunter. I found it fitting, cuz it went full circle with Luz needing to face with problems Hunter faced in the past. Belos, and being some what of a failure in her mind after the day of unity.
Hunter: “I had a nightmare about everything traumatizing that’s happened to me.” Luz, Amity, Willow and Gus: “Oh my gosh are you ok? Do you wanna talk about it?” Hunter: “Im more confused then anything, there was a message on walls in it that I don’t understand…” Meanwhile Steve, Flapjack or Hooty being the one that carved #Winter into the Holding cell at 1:53:
2:15 "Has to be true, I'm counting on you" while Belos grabs his shoulder is 👌😨. I've seen all the episodes and I got so tense right there! Wonderful job!
Im very quite impressed how the movement of each characters are. impressing animation indeed and in short amount time of Hunter's story you clearly told everything that we need to know and when he got the nightmares and went to the window, was really nice seeing Willow and Gus giving support to him but of course being the younger one, both Willow and Hunter supported Gus. Really amazing, really good job :D
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! The music is so fitting, the art is gorgeous and the detailed along with the backgrounds all help build the parts of Hunter's story we've seen and show how he's struggled and grown over time. Also, I saw that blush with Willow! Fantastic work over all and I can't believe you got so much done in such a small amount of time!
Lyrics: I am a fish inside a birdcage My brother always sings me songs With his beak he tries to soothe me He makes me feel that I belong He has a wild imagination And tells me things That must be true Like there's a world where I can take flight Where i can freely move So carry me from these walls Brother of mine Show me the world outside It has to be true I'm counting on you To be my wings and my eyes As I breathe into our silence There's a voice that comforts me It's a voice of understanding It's the voice of empathy Wings of feathers, tails and fin tips We feel it works so differently You gave me more than I could ask for Indistinguishability So carry me from these walls Brother of mine Show me the world outside It has to be true I'm counting on you To be my wings and my eyes So carry me from these walls Brother of mine Show me the world outside It has to be true I'm counting on you To be my wings and my eyes
@@hollowbeings no worries! Also it's pretty cool that you post the lyrics for everyone else, even if you're not that interested in the original creator yourself
This song in general fits hunter so well. The fast paced violin thats unsettling and almost sad. You really did him justice in this animatic, the pacing, color palette the backgrounds, the animation, everything about it is just well executed. Belos is portrayed amazingly as well, he's genuinely terrifying and always manages to either make me mad or unsettled, sometimes both in the show, and you showed that masterfully. Keep doing your amazing work!!
this is incredibly well done. like holy shit, the perspective, the camera movement..all these scenes are so dynamic oh my GOD I CANT BELIEVE I HAVENT SEEN YOUR CHANNEL UNTIL NOW
I love seeing Hunter with his fake bird brother vs Hunter with his true bird brother. The fake one won't let him leave the cage, while the true one says "it can be dangerous out there, so I'll come with you."
Holy fuck. The transitions the way you delivered the whole damn story in such a short time SO ELEGANTLY!! The way the song choice is amazing and how you showed so good all of hunters expressions!! The way he increisevely looks at belos with more and more regret and fear after every "outside" scene! Got me crying. ALSO THE FUCKING FIGHT SCENE??? YOU ARE CRAZY!!!!! and flapjack wipping his cheek literally killed me., on the floor rn. You did an outstanding work!!!!!!!
I love how this song fits Hunter so darn well. Hunter has such admirable traits that would lead him to flourish in the right environment, but he is kept from developing by a regime that exploits those same traits to keep him a compliant asset. That part of his story fits the concept of the song so well it’s like it was written for him.
This is absolutely gorgeous!! The way you portray Hunter, his experience, and emotions does his character such justice! 2:05 - 2:22 however is my favorite scene in this, and it give me chills every time I watch it! There's something so deeply uncomfortable about watching Hunter's reaction to seeing Belos that brings the watcher back to the fact that Belos is and was abusive towards Hunter. Great job again, I cannot stop coming back to watch this!
THIS GAVE ME CHILLS AND THE ENDING PART LITERALLY MADE ME JUMP. Plus the song is so fitting for Hunter gosh. Definitely an animatic i will revisit multiple times, its a masterpiece
This song fits Hunter so well. And I like how the part where it goes “to be the wings in my eyes.” Flapjack flies and sits on his window as he’s looking.
i genuinely love how much some fans have latched onto Hunter i recall being amused & kinda surprised hearing a *minor antagonist turned good guy* had such a vocal and loving fanbase
i'll choke myself if youtube algorithm ignores this animatic. siriously, your staging, the feel of movement and how you manage to show so many different angles and it never becomes a blur and a viewer always understands whats going on. it was such an eye candy, i teally glad i got to see this, keep it up, hope you'll get more shoutout really!!!!!! Т_____Т
FROM THE FIRST 30 SEC THIS IS SO GOOD BRO THE 'my brother always sings me songs' SHIT, the ANGLES, the cape movement, "you gave me all that i asked for, indistinguishability' with him just being treated like another kid in the emerald entrails, brother now referring to gus instead of the brother that hunter was made from,,, agh this was fantastic
This entire animation was BREATHTAKING. The shots and framing, the lighting, the symbolism, the way the visuals matched the words, the LIP SYNC... the whole thing wrenched at my heart, and the extra scene at the end destroyed what was left of it. You should be proud of yourself, this is GORGEOUS!
oh my god??? this has to be one of the best animatics I have ever seen, and I’m not just saying that, I mean it. It’s overall just beautifully stunning, from the art, how well you captured movement & animation, how you conveyed the raw emotions, the music was incredibly stunning, and just, alsmxxkoedkd I can’t even put it into words. Like bro I actually cried watching this, and it’s very hard to make me cry- amazing work, you should be getting way more attention and I know you will get the fame you deserve one day!! definitely subscribing
This is by far the best animatic I have ever laid eyes on! You've done such a wonderful job chronicling Hunter's arc throughout the series. And to think you were viewed in your premiere by the very band that made this! That must be rare.
This isn’t just a fan animatic, this is ART all of the animation work that went into this, the angles and movement you have in some of these shots are so fluid and unbelievable
Wow!! This is an absolute masterpiece! Just the way you captured Hunter's entire story is masterfully done! I especially loved the Hollow Mind parts and how you showed how suffocating those moments were for Hunter! I love how the use of "brother" is used for the different people who helped him throughout his journey. That ending hit hard, but it was perfect!! ❤️
I stg I heard this song for the first time the other day and I said to myself “it would be amazing to see an animatic on this” I AM SO HAPPY I GOT TO WITNESS THIS AMAZING PIECE OF ART, the lyrics fit so well with Hunter and the music fits the whole theme perfectly, you got mad talent my friend!!
This is the most beautiful and unique animation I’ve ever seen come out of the owl house fandom, I must’ve watched this a million times. Hunter is a great character with a great arc, I really hope there will be more owl house stuff
Sometimes people watch an animatic that they liked and say it was underrated and I try not to say that unless I mean it because it’s such a common compliment, but I mean it when I say THIS IS SO UNDERRATED. SCENES FROM THE SHOW RE-ANIMATED TO FIT THE WORDS AND TEMPO OF THE SONG, THE WAY THE SONG TIES TO HUNTER SO WELL - I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS!
HOLY- this was so good!! The expressions, the perspective, the story- everything was so well done and executed! The fluid animation when Hunter jumps down into the paintings and when he runs with Gus are so smooth and dynamic!! OMG and when he bumps into Belos- the look of FEAR in Flapjack’s eyes, that scene is incredible! This must have taken so long, but it’s beautiful work. I love it!
I'm sure you've gotten so many praises for this animatic, but I need to gush about this because this was *stunningly* made. It was more than I ever expected going into it. I've never seen your channel before to my memory, but this animatic makes you one of the greatest animators I've seen already. The pacing, the perspectives/angles, the tweening and snippets of animation, the lighting, the tone, and the flow of it all were amazing. You perfectly encapsulated Hunter's journey throughout Season 2, all of the most significant moments from episodes 6, 9, 13, 16, 18, and 20. I can't get over how amazing it is, and how you packed so much information into only 5 minutes (edit: not even, a little over 4 minutes, and only 3 minutes of the song). Let's not forget the in-betweens you included, like Flapjack helping Hunter clean up after Eclipse Lake and Flapjack seeing the level of control Belos has over Hunter when Hunter has to hide Flapjack after chasing him through the halls. Some of the moments that stand out stunningly to me were the spin-around with the portraits from episode 16, when Hunter is dragged into the ground in Belos' mind with the glyphs saving him, Hunter walking down the hall with his cape flowing behind him, and the beginning segments with Belos and the Collector.. circle? behind him. And of course, the "epilogue" from the ending of episode 21, and the moment Hunter gets those flashbacks on the thunderstrike was so full of panic and terror. It felt so... real, like I could tell EXACTLY what Hunter was thinking through his facial expressions, no flashbacks required. And of course, a soft moment where Hunter, Willow, and Gus comfort each other. This animatic is just... it might be one of my favorite animation videos ever. It's so well crafted and it's clear you put your heart and soul into this passion project. I subbed even before the video ended, so I'm excited to see more (your art style is really appealing)
BRUH THIS COMMENT MADE ME CRY FHDJSFDGHJ thank you so much for your kind words!! I was real nervous about if what i was trying to say could be read with how swiftly I had to cut each scene - 3 minutes seems like a lot of time to fill up in animation but I was stunned at just how fast it filled up - and this! !!!! Thank you so soso much!! I definitely plan to make more TOH stuff !!
@@rileyclaw_ AW I’m glad 🥺 I wish I could put into words how much this animatic blew me away, there’s so much I want to say that I just don’t know how to phrase I’m excited to see your future works!! >:)

THAT WAS FUCKFREACKINGTASTIC! THANK YOU RILEY! This masterpiece is going to accompany me through all the month until I memorize all the shots and every word, I swear..
This is absolutely amazing! It summarizes Hunter’s character development in just a couple of minutes, the animation is absolutely stunning. This video is the whole definition of underrated if I’ve ever seen one! 😄
As a Fishinabirdcage superfan I totally approve and appreciate this animation. Thank you for seeing and feeling what the bread family does every time we watch Dusty on Twitch. The music is great story telling, and the melding of your story to this song is masterful. - AffectionateScar

EXACTLYYYY, you couldn't have put it better, I hope we get more bonding in the next season, so sad it's too short
YES!! Luz is very under appreciated within the fandom when she’s a catalyst for most of the positive character developments.
@@seineevee I still think it’s fucked up that if Luz didn’t do anything that Willow would be working under pre-redemption Amity.

Yeah the lyrics really work for the different sections. Belos being a bird lying to a fish about what it can be, then Luz being the sibling that starts to open his eyes to the world, flapjack providing empathy, the emerald entrails providing something new as well a feeling of belonging, then back to Belos’s lies and manipulation, then Luz opening his eyes fully and Gus helping him through it.

He has a wild imagination
And tells me things That must be true
Like there's a world where I can take flight
Where i can freely move
So carry me from these walls
Brother of mine
Show me the world outside
It has to be true
I'm counting on you
To be my wings and my eyes
As I breathe into our silence
There's a voice that comforts me
It's a voice of understanding
It's the voice of empathy
Wings of feathers, tails and fin tips
We feel it works so differently
You gave me more than I could ask for
Indistinguishability
So carry me from these walls
Brother of mine
Show me the world outside
It has to be true
I'm counting on you
To be my wings and my eyes
So carry me from these walls

Show me the world outside
It has to be true

Bro I love how the ending uses that one art piece and actually makes it mean something, as in it gives some context, so cool
Bruh I got here because of the ads it's good and didn't skip because how perfectly well it fits
0:40 that shot is soooo coooool
This song fits Hunter so well. And I like how the part where it goes “to be the wings in my eyes.” Flapjack flies and sits on his window as he’s looking.
3:35 by far my favorite part for sure
I had a lot of fun WITH that part!!
@@rileyclaw_ extremely happy to hear that =D
2:23 this is literally the best part of the song and video
You captured his life very well.
Love how 1:27 immediately shows the aftermath of Amity outsmarting Hunter
I love Hunter and all of the background behind him and just to keep it so people can figure out i will keep those secrets to myself
THIS WAS SOOOO GOOD AND FLUID AAAAAA!! ALSO 2:05 SCENE WAS SO EXCELLENT AND CREEPY YAAAH
i genuinely love how much some fans have latched onto Hunter
i recall being amused & kinda surprised hearing a *minor antagonist turned good guy* had such a vocal and loving fanbase
i'll choke myself if youtube algorithm ignores this animatic.
siriously, your staging, the feel of movement and how you manage to show so many different angles and it never becomes a blur and a viewer always understands whats going on.
it was such an eye candy, i teally glad i got to see this, keep it up, hope you'll get more shoutout really!!!!!! Т_____Т
THIS WAS AMAZING OMG ALL THE FIGHT SCENES AND THAT TURNAROUND WITH THE MEMORY PORTRAITS WAS SO SMOOTH AND COOOOL
FROM THE FIRST 30 SEC THIS IS SO GOOD BRO THE 'my brother always sings me songs' SHIT, the ANGLES, the cape movement, "you gave me all that i asked for, indistinguishability' with him just being treated like another kid in the emerald entrails, brother now referring to gus instead of the brother that hunter was made from,,, agh this was fantastic
This entire animation was BREATHTAKING. The shots and framing, the lighting, the symbolism, the way the visuals matched the words, the LIP SYNC... the whole thing wrenched at my heart, and the extra scene at the end destroyed what was left of it. You should be proud of yourself, this is GORGEOUS!
To what devil did you sell your soul for this talent? The song choice, the timing, the animation... hot dang.
THIS WAS SO GOOD OH MY GOD. I WAS LITERALLY EXCITED FOR THIS ALL DAY AND IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT
The "my brother" at the beginning is so much more impactful now that we know about Caleb and Phillip.
oh my god??? this has to be one of the best animatics I have ever seen, and I’m not just saying that, I mean it. It’s overall just beautifully stunning, from the art, how well you captured movement & animation, how you conveyed the raw emotions, the music was incredibly stunning, and just, alsmxxkoedkd I can’t even put it into words. Like bro I actually cried watching this, and it’s very hard to make me cry-
amazing work, you should be getting way more attention and I know you will get the fame you deserve one day!! definitely subscribing
THIS IS SO GOOD WHAT
This is by far the best animatic I have ever laid eyes on! You've done such a wonderful job chronicling Hunter's arc throughout the series. And to think you were viewed in your premiere by the very band that made this! That must be rare.
All the best spell books come with warnings for child abuse.
“Wait… is this an ad? An Owl House ad? It is an ad!! No way I’m skipping it….”
this is deadass my favorite animatic
IT WAS SO GOOD AND YOU SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME AT THE END!!!
I love this song, but man putting it to this videos scenario is so unsettling and actually really creepy and just so many feelings 😰
Woah- Hunter's story in 4 minutes fully animated?!? It so good!!! I don't even have words rn!
Why is 1:14 my favorite?? And this whole animation is so good
This isn’t just a fan animatic, this is ART all of the animation work that went into this, the angles and movement you have in some of these shots are so fluid and unbelievable
This is such a legendary animatic for this fandom! I think about it constantly
Wow!! This is an absolute masterpiece! Just the way you captured Hunter's entire story is masterfully done! I especially loved the Hollow Mind parts and how you showed how suffocating those moments were for Hunter! I love how the use of "brother" is used for the different people who helped him throughout his journey. That ending hit hard, but it was perfect!! ❤️
OMGG I just saw your animatic in an ad for the song!! Congratulations!!!! Thats so cool
I stg I heard this song for the first time the other day and I said to myself “it would be amazing to see an animatic on this” I AM SO HAPPY I GOT TO WITNESS THIS AMAZING PIECE OF ART, the lyrics fit so well with Hunter and the music fits the whole theme perfectly, you got mad talent my friend!!
This is the most beautiful and unique animation I’ve ever seen come out of the owl house fandom, I must’ve watched this a million times. Hunter is a great character with a great arc, I really hope there will be more owl house stuff
Also his trauma, he really was a beating bag for Dana. Also the deleted audio and scenes of him are ALL so bad 😭😭
1:08 you made the animatic fit the lyrics so perfectly ! well done that is dope
THIS IS LITERALLY SO BEAUTIFUL OMG. The hunter and amity fight scene was animated so fluidly!!!
This is truly one of the best toh animations I've ever watched. Liked.
I love how well the song fits
Sometimes people watch an animatic that they liked and say it was underrated and I try not to say that unless I mean it because it’s such a common compliment, but I mean it when I say THIS IS SO UNDERRATED. SCENES FROM THE SHOW RE-ANIMATED TO FIT THE WORDS AND TEMPO OF THE SONG, THE WAY THE SONG TIES TO HUNTER SO WELL - I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS!
It's outrageous how good this is
HOLY- this was so good!! The expressions, the perspective, the story- everything was so well done and executed! The fluid animation when Hunter jumps down into the paintings and when he runs with Gus are so smooth and dynamic!! OMG and when he bumps into Belos- the look of FEAR in Flapjack’s eyes, that scene is incredible! This must have taken so long, but it’s beautiful work. I love it!
the moment hunter looks at the key and it switches to belos!! that was awesome!
I'm sure you've gotten so many praises for this animatic, but I need to gush about this because this was *stunningly* made. It was more than I ever expected going into it. I've never seen your channel before to my memory, but this animatic makes you one of the greatest animators I've seen already. The pacing, the perspectives/angles, the tweening and snippets of animation, the lighting, the tone, and the flow of it all were amazing. You perfectly encapsulated Hunter's journey throughout Season 2, all of the most significant moments from episodes 6, 9, 13, 16, 18, and 20. I can't get over how amazing it is, and how you packed so much information into only 5 minutes (edit: not even, a little over 4 minutes, and only 3 minutes of the song). Let's not forget the in-betweens you included, like Flapjack helping Hunter clean up after Eclipse Lake and Flapjack seeing the level of control Belos has over Hunter when Hunter has to hide Flapjack after chasing him through the halls. Some of the moments that stand out stunningly to me were the spin-around with the portraits from episode 16, when Hunter is dragged into the ground in Belos' mind with the glyphs saving him, Hunter walking down the hall with his cape flowing behind him, and the beginning segments with Belos and the Collector.. circle? behind him. And of course, the "epilogue" from the ending of episode 21, and the moment Hunter gets those flashbacks on the thunderstrike was so full of panic and terror. It felt so... real, like I could tell EXACTLY what Hunter was thinking through his facial expressions, no flashbacks required. And of course, a soft moment where Hunter, Willow, and Gus comfort each other.
This animatic is just... it might be one of my favorite animation videos ever. It's so well crafted and it's clear you put your heart and soul into this passion project. I subbed even before the video ended, so I'm excited to see more (your art style is really appealing)
BRUH THIS COMMENT MADE ME CRY FHDJSFDGHJ thank you so much for your kind words!! I was real nervous about if what i was trying to say could be read with how swiftly I had to cut each scene - 3 minutes seems like a lot of time to fill up in animation but I was stunned at just how fast it filled up - and this! !!!! Thank you so soso much!! I definitely plan to make more TOH stuff !!
@@rileyclaw_ AW I’m glad 🥺 I wish I could put into words how much this animatic blew me away, there’s so much I want to say that I just don’t know how to phrase
I’m excited to see your future works!! >:)
I absolutely love this song, and it's so perfect for Hunter. Also??? The animatic is absolutely gorgeous??? This is amazing and I've watched it at least three times now
Can't believe there's a FIAB and TOH fan overlap
Your animation is incredible! You made great use of the slidy cello bits like this 2:29
Agreed! I absolutely love what he did with that! 😁 well with all of it. But that in particular
yoooo saw this on an ad aswell, was confused at first but im glad so this reaches more people :DD
THAT WAS FUCKFREACKINGTASTIC! THANK YOU RILEY! This masterpiece is going to accompany me through all the month until I memorize all the shots and every word, I swear..
Love that moment at the end, something that should be comforting instead bringing back trauma and suffering.
No but I think 1:27 has to be like one of the best transitions I’ve seen in an animatic ever
I've never watched The Owl House, but this is pretty solid :)
This is absolutely amazing! It summarizes Hunter’s character development in just a couple of minutes, the animation is absolutely stunning. This video is the whole definition of underrated if I’ve ever seen one! 😄
Literally gets better each time I watch it.
hits different after recent ep. flapjack's now part of hunter
I don't even know where to start this is amazing! I could never in 7 years, and you made this in 12 days!?
As a Fishinabirdcage superfan I totally approve and appreciate this animation. Thank you for seeing and feeling what the bread family does every time we watch Dusty on Twitch. The music is great story telling, and the melding of your story to this song is masterful. - AffectionateScar
Absolutely loved this! Fits Hunter's character very well! And I loved the ending as well, with that little Huntlow as they both comfort Gus.
2:03 in love with the way willow's head shake matches the audio
BEST ANIMATIC EVER OMG THE TRANSITIONS
Bro just needs a hug. Like I just wanna run up and hug him. This is amazing and so sad. Such fluent animation and work! Keep it up! :)
THIS IS SO GOOD I LOVE THE ANIMATION PART WHERE HUNTER AND WILLOW PLAYING FLYER DERBY
i’m absolutely obsessed with this song and always thought it would make a great animatic and this is better than anything i could have ever imagined.
Definitely good animatic material but I could never think of a story it would fit. And then they go and find the perfect story for it to fit!
EVERY SINGLE CLIP IS A CHEF KISS
this is a master peace
Help me I’ve watched this 6 times already but I discovered it yesterday HELP.
This animatic was GORGEOUS IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE SO GORGEOUS IN MY LIFE
I saw the ad and the quality is so good!! I love it
i watched this last year and all of a sudden, when i was studying, i just remembered this masterpiece existed and came back. thank you for this beautiful piece of art.
MY FAVORITE SHOW AND FAVORITE BAND IN ONE PERFECTLY BEAUTIFULLY MADE ANIMATIC??? LOVE THIS!!!
Oh for the Titan... you just made me tear up. Amazing job, pal!!!
