Jimmy’s character in the life series is really interesting to me. People like Grian n Scar have something that stays the same with every series, and most other people tend to have consistent themes. But with Jimmy, it’s somebody new each season. I feel like this really speaks to how hard his character tries to fit in in different places and the fear of abandonment that seems to follow him. Great animatic!!
The more consistent they are, the longer they survive. With the watcher lore, it could be said that the other retain their past and “real” selves while Jimmy has less of an awareness of the watchers and the fact that he’s in these horrible games. It would also explain why he has such strong connections and loyalty to others, as it’s more real for him than it is for others.
He didn't escape the coal mine, a miner just happened to go against the precautions and go in before the canary. Though, the canary followed shortly after
I think the canary curse should apply as long as you get out in the first episode where permanent deaths are applicable- also it is note worthy that every time mumbo has been in a series, jimmy goes out seconds before
Just read the description of why Jimmy is the canary in a coal mine. But honestly when I first watched this, I think because of Bird Box. I thought the canary in a coal mine was meant to keep the miners sane. And that when the canary died. The miners that depended on the canary (Scott, Martyn and Tango), lost it. That’s why you see Scott crying at Jimmy’s grave before he soon joins his husband. And Martyn talking to an armour stand, trying to wish Jimmy back to life.
I just want to add. The canary in the coal mine is meant to warn something in the air or something bad was happening. The miners would leave and the canary would be stuck there to die. The saying today means that there is a warning ahead or a sogn that something is happening. Basically, Jimmy was the first death that would lead to everyone dying.
I feel the need to point out, they are aware. They've interacted with Life series stuff that wasn't even their songs. They know. To what extent is unclear, but they are aware of a connection.
I think it’s cool how tango and Scott the two people who jimmy are most frequently paired with have heavy associations with the elements of fire and ice because characters with power over those elements are often opposites in temperament and personality which is the case for them as well so the fact that jimmy is close with both of them I think says something about jimmy
Canary's curse is cannon now because of Martyn's shadow lore. It's really sad to see him go out first again, hopefully game 5 will finally break the curse. Absolutely love this, it's nice to see animatics about Jimmy and it was really well executed!
Bro this is such a reminisce of Jimmy's past SMP with the others and they were so good! I loved it so much to remind myself of 3rd Life hobbit hole, Last Life Aha!, And Double Life Ranchers! Keep up the good work!
Yep- and btw it’s double life, not second life. Just letting you know before someone else yells at you because you accidentally said something different 👍
Oooh this is so good- the first person POV of Jimmy, then him watching people mourning him,,, I also adore the sequence at 0:30 where it flashes through how he was through the series
I found the ending bittersweet, as it is a look into the next season (season 4) where Jimmy is getting ready to be the canary once more for his friends. Hence the slightly sad smile. But he’s happy enough to do this so his friends survive. It least this is my interpretation.
OHHHHHH JIMMY MY KING YOU DESERVED BETTER.... BUT EVEN THOUGH HE ALWAYS PERISHED FIRST, IT WAS ALWAYS THE LIFE HE LIVED THAT MATTERS... THE BONDS HE MADE AND THE LOVE HE GAVE. WE'D BE NOTHING WITHOUT OUR CANARY KING.
Watching this again after Jimmy survived the curse. It’s actually insane how good ppl are at making these. Like the emotion????? The song choice???? THE ARTWORK!!!!!!! So freaking amazing Hex!
oh jesus christ the martyn talking to the armor stand of jimmy, who’s wearing jimmy's shirt??? fucking ow i just noticed that and audibly gasped, not to mention the ‘did the canary ever love the coal mine? well, i certainly tried’ this animatic is going to be the death of me
JUST FINISHED THE PREMIERE AND OH MY GOD THAT WAS AMAZING! OH MY GOD!!! the parts where it was from jimmys pov were AMAZING, like ohhh my god. and the part where he looked to everyone *mourning* him. (i appreciate you SO MUCH for adding martyn!!) and it feels so so bittersweet cause he's the *canary* but god- my therapist will hear about this, thank you very much. the end is so warm... just another start, another story to tell. (and i CURSE YOU for adding that quote from THAT INFAMOUS FIC....)
I really want an extended version now with the bad boys and the curse finally being broken it would be so cool if he like came out of a cave and then like smiled and breathed his last breath eeeeee omg i love this animatic so much
the fact that Scott gave Solidarity a pufferish of peace on limited life brought back memories for me edit: Does anyone know what the art style is called?
I guess it's some cartoony-anime-realistic styles mixed together ? But just call it hex style because it's their artstyle :) but you can find simiral ones all over the internet ! :D
This was honestly good to begin with, but with the explanation, it makes so much sense! I always feel bad for Jimmy because of this. Plus, in Double Life, if I'm not mistaken, the greens (Scott, Pearl, Martyn, Cleo) were talking about the reds (Jimmy, Tango, Joel, Etho) and said something about Jimmy dying first anyways, so he'd be the one to kill/capture? Obviously there are more in the "groups" than I mentioned, just listed the first 4 that came to mind :)
@@natalierizk2519 my memory is fuzzy but i recall the closer Double Life got to it's end, the only greens or yellows were Scott, Pearl, Cleo and Martyn (maybe Grian + Scar?)? Without rewatching, I'm not entirely sure anymore
@@natalierizk2519 i finished double life a few days ago, and at the start at the last two episodes there was one pair of greens (grian and scar), two pairs of yellow (scott and pearl, martyn and cleo), and four red life duos (joel and etho, jimmy and tango, impulse and bdubs, ren and bigb) joel and etho became red after pearl & grian decided to rod both of them up in the fishing minigame at bdubs and impulses, but the death was only from joel because the two didn’t heal up fully after joel’s first rounds playing. this happened right before pearl and scott became yellow. hope this helps :)
Hex This is amazing!! The part where Jimmy watching ppl who close to him after his death is really heart broken Scott griefing with sadness of lose of his husband Martyn is hallucinating by the lose of his friends and There's Tango, who he don't even How would Tango actually act but He does assume He probably not very happy The bound of soulmate took both of them but They can't really be together anymore Aaaah The last part at the end is so nice, New start for the new life! I notice you put our 3 winner at the middle there (6 6 (Game 4 saving? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm)
Omg I loved this so much!! Ever since your first animatic abt double life I've been waiting for one w timmy tbh, I've never seen a timmy-centered animatic before!! He's one of my fav ppl to watch, and the whole "canary in a coal mine" thing being shown is just perfect (I'm not crying you are). The way it shows all of his alliances, starting with Scott in 3rd life and him giving him the cake, to in last life him being with the southlands and having the spyglasses, to tango profusely apologizing to him when he accidentially got them down to yellow in double life. And the shot of all of his previous homes in the series being all broken and burning down?? Idk if I can do this today 😭✋️and OMG THE PART WHEN MARTYN'S TALKING TO THE PUMPKIN HIM?? 💔 I've never seen that in an animatic before, and I loved it, because it was one of my favorite parts (martyns lore is so cool fr) and it ripped my heart to shreds. And when u see all the other characters in the background, like in one of the last shots where it shows them all crowded around the enchanting table with grain explaining the rules??? All of the character designs are so cute and colorful!
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OMG THIS IS SO COOL FINALLY A JIMMY CENTRIC ANIMATIC ALSO OMG THE SHOT OF EVERYONE TOGETHER AT THE END AND ALSO THE BEGINNING BEING FROM JIMMYS POV AND THE PEOPLE MOURNING HIM?????? OMG AND THE SONG FITS PERFECTLY TOO
Oh I adore this. Jimmy throughout the series, the canary next to a poppy, the flickering between places and people, god my heart. His smile at the end!
I'm so excited for this. I can already tell it's gonna be amazing!! It's so close to premiering and I can't wait! The thumbnail and your other work also show that this is gonna be awesome!!!
Awww..! This is so good! Really brings out the relationship he had on the life series!! But I still wanna cry on last life one where Martyn made a "Jimmy" and others to try and bring back the gold old days😭
Personal hc for the reason the curse broke is that Jimmy realized that his warnings weren’t working when Grian died in the exact same way as him but the listeners were the ones who were making him be the warning so they killed him using a warden
I hope every season that jimmy will survive and will be the last one standing not just breaking the curse but also showing he isn’t the weakest link no more
OH MY GOD THIS ANIMATIC HITS SO MUCH even though I missed the premiere. I was not expecting at 0:42 AT ALL LIKE WHAT! AND AND at 2:11 is so beautiful like what the colouring details the drawing of everyone that scene must of taken so long
How did you hit the perfect visual balance of poignant memories and fun bop? Not only is this a perfect metaphor for Jimmy in the Life Series, your idea to show him coming to terms with his own memories of his different lives and partners is so beautiful…!💜💙
One of my favourite things about hex is that they don't just do animatics about scar and grian but about all the other storylines from the other talented life members
i've gotta say, excellent song choice! i've had the idea of making a life series jimmy animatic for it before, but never got around to making anything, so it's nice to see someone else's spin on it. i also adore the colours you used throughout; i'm a sucker for pastels. i am so glad this popped into my recommended today.
I think the canary in the coalmine thing fits quite well, I did some research so I could be as accurate as possible but the canary in the coalmine is something old miners did (idk if they still do) to check if it was safe, they would send a canary in and if it died it wasn't safe, if not they could go in, it fits Jimmy's character perfectly, he always dies first, he always went first to the arms of death, just like the canary in the coalmine Another bit is that the canary in the coalmine can also be used as a "I went first, they left me" situation, because the miners sent the canary in willingly, and didn't try and help when obviously they could help, it's one of the reasons I relate, they sent me in, I didn't come out (*cough cough * ex friendship *cough *)
watching this animatic isn't enough i need it injected into my bloodstream. i love the glitchy tv details and that final line as jimmy's watching his loved ones,,,, he just wants to protect them i'm sobbing
Y'know... This animatic? And all the others inspired from the Life series. They're about a bunch of friends playing a silly block game together with some extra rules. How on earth does that get interpreted and elevated into stuff like... This? It's... amazing, incredible, inspiring. How could have any of them even think this was how it would go? And that's not even including all the stuff from Grian's first SMP, Evo, that people have extended to these.
YES there needs to be more Jimmy animatics! This was incredible, you're a super talented artist! I loved how you had parts from his POV, it was really cool
dude. dude this is so cool. probably the first jimmy centered animatic i've ever seen and gosh does it have me on a emotional rollercoaster. ur art is always so pleasant to look at so that made this experience a little bit less painful. i love the flashes of the different skins? events? that happened in that one part, and the mourning, gosh. i will always gobble up inthelittlewood wood crumbs, stupid charisma filled man. i will also, never be over flower husbands. this hurts. overall this animatic was fantastic! i don't know how you keep making bangers after bangers but hey, keep up the fantastic work man
This video is great!! But there’s a head cannon that everyone who pairs with Scott wins, so the fact Jimmy always dies first and is always furthest from winning, and they had been flower husbands in the first life smp (speaking abt 3rd life), I think of it as the “watchers” had forbidden the love between them, making their curses opposites.
Statistically speaking most people who team with Jimmy place lower than usual (this is best seen in Impulse, and Joel) though Martyn and Grian are mostly unaffected by this aspect of the curse I like to think this is because of their connections to the Watchers So the Ying/Yang thing for the flower husbands is even is stronger
I think this is the only life series animatic I’ve seen that goes over more than one season. Normally they’re third life animatics or double life animatics, this one transcends every season (at the time it came out at least) which is really cool and gives it a bigger scope imo.
Amazing video! I love how in the first part of the video, it is all seen in Jimmy's perspective, then there's a transition of him in the life series, then some quotes. Jimmy is walking around, watching people mourn over his death, it was kind of sad to watch him witness everyone trying to cope with his death. Then we see the transition of settlements from thriving to crumbled, and the glitching effect is a nice touch. Finally, we see the scenes from the beginning, but with a canary (and aren't you a wonder at drawing birds). Also, I found the scene of everyone gathered in a circle really nice, Grian's the creator, so he's telling everyone something, Tango, Impulse, and Martyn are just chatting, Pearl is watching Tango, Impulse, and Martyn and everyone else is actually paying attention.
I love your animatics! They are so good and i always seem to find myself rewatching them over and over again! You should do an animatic for limited life if you can but i know that animation takes alot if time
Nice. His last death in double life really was just bad luck. His shield broke, the ground was not on his side, an the enderman. Hopefully he isn't out first in the next season.
One of my favorite animatics I’ve ever seen for any fandom. Jimmy has been my favorite creator on the life series, and I’m so happy he finally gets the absolutely incredible animatics he deserves.
I've been associating Jimmy with this song ever since I heard it and had wanted to make an animatic but could never find the time. Glad someone decided to make it because this is gorgeous!! Absolutely amazing and good job!!!!!!! 👍
watching this bad boy on repeat forever, i love you jimmy last life series u are so tragic. the canary analogy for jimmy is my absolute FAVORITE thing, and the way you depict things here is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!!! seeing all the flashbacks between the different life series was so GOOD, the different bases, jimmy's different relationships (flower husbands, the southlands, tango) IM WAAAHHAAAA!!!!!!!!!! crying sobbing weeping will never be the same
**cries** This was super cool! I loved all the small details you put into this, your art style is beautiful, and The Crane Wives music; this is awesome! (pancakes)
My favorite character designs that you’ve made have got to be impulse, pearl, and tango… especially impulse. I do love all of them though, they’re amazing
This is actually so fucking good, I’ve been trying to find a double life animatic with this song and you blew it out of the park! His character’s relationships are so complex and I just love how you portrayed that here.
THIS IS SOO GOOD, let me just say, I'm loving all the crane wives in this fandom, and I've also been working on an animatic with a similar premise with this song and this is so cool to see how another person views this song in association with this series and the differences in presentation, what to show and not, and the usage of the lyrics. It's also so cool seeing the different designs you're using for the characters and the visual effects add so much to this and I greatly applaud you for this
THIS WAS AMAZING!!! Also if Jimmy reacts to this, someone tell him to read the description plz!!! I would love to see him react to the video AND description
This is actually unbelievable!! Thank you so much for doing this! I love it so much!! ❤️
Finally! I was hoping you would see this
Thank you so much for the kind words!!! And thank you for the content that you make!!! ❤️
The big man himself! Hi Jimmy:D
So glad you got to see it, Solidarity
Good to see this animation getting the love it deserves :D
Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is a pattern, but four times is a curse
Beautiful way to describe it
@@greenfruit8271 Truly perfect
One left to go untill it's a prophecy
@@ddesmarais7251 I think it already is XD
Its always been a curse since last life
I love how everyone just decided that Crane Wives makes the best music for life series animatics.
Well, it's true. The Crane Wives do make great songs
@@emberrose3382 I agree strongly. All of my favorite songs are by them
I feel like it is considered fanon at this point
Nah, they just make the best music period lol

Pearl was pretty different between the two seasons she was in tbh
Fear of being left behind got so hard for him that he let's get himself killed first so no one would be left behind.
❤
The more consistent they are, the longer they survive. With the watcher lore, it could be said that the other retain their past and “real” selves while Jimmy has less of an awareness of the watchers and the fact that he’s in these horrible games.

@@itsanoformethanks6277
But isn’t jimmy (and Martyn) a listener? Or is that just a theory?
THE CANARY HAS ESCAPED THE COLE MINE, I REPEAT, THE CANARY HAS ESCAPED THE COLE MINE. he died as soon as he saw sunlight, but he got out!!!
HE IS FREEEE
for a little bit at least
He didn't escape the coal mine, a miner just happened to go against the precautions and go in before the canary. Though, the canary followed shortly after
I think the canary curse should apply as long as you get out in the first episode where permanent deaths are applicable- also it is note worthy that every time mumbo has been in a series, jimmy goes out seconds before
@@aquaticalyang483Says secret life 😮
Dw ik secret life wasn't out when you commented. I'm being snarky :3
Fun Fact: Secret Life is technically the closest he's ever been to experiencing a finale, all because he is dead
Honestly the most satisfying ending to any new Life Series will be if Jimmy wins.
Well, another season and he still died first again. Maybe he can win season 5.
i think if he ever wins a life series it would make a good conclusion overall
Yeah the series would reach its peak at that point. Looks like we still have a while to go until that happens
I think him not dying first is already a win
welp
Just read the description of why Jimmy is the canary in a coal mine. But honestly when I first watched this, I think because of Bird Box.

Repeated in Limited Life with Joel and the Bad Boys

The saying today means that there is a warning ahead or a sogn that something is happening. Basically, Jimmy was the first death that would lead to everyone dying.
The canary was freed from his cage but never learned to fly on broken wings.
fun fact! they actually made canary resucitators specifically for those canaries, so they wouldnt have to die
Lizzie, I rest my case.
The Crane Wives makes the perfect music for the Life series animatics.
You speak the truth lol
Crane Wives are the closest we can get to Life Series OST lmao
I feel the need to point out, they are aware. They've interacted with Life series stuff that wasn't even their songs. They know.

Your comment is one line too long for me to effectively screenshot
Canary's curse is cannon now because of Martyn's shadow lore.
It's really sad to see him go out first again, hopefully game 5 will finally break the curse.
Absolutely love this, it's nice to see animatics about Jimmy and it was really well executed!

The canary has left the cage.
THE CANARY ESCAPED
SERIOUSLY THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE SEEN! All of Jimmy's deaths, friends, skins, bases- every aspect of Jimmy was in here. Incredible
well here we are again
UA-cam led me to this video now
so uhh
the canary curse is still ongoing apparently
Wow this was amazing! It's neat to see a Life animation with Jimmy as the center of attention, I don't think I've ever seen one before!
_sobbing_ e-even after ev-everything, _sniffs_ they'll all still be friends . . . in-in the end
2:24 when it says saving game 4 like it’s finally a new chance to not be out first but we all know what happened 💀
Holy crap it’s a comment I don’t remember making from 7 months ago!
Jimmy is always out first. He is the bird that died so the miners wouldn’t. This is brilliant.
The canary has been freed, and yet the moment it saw the light it perished, and the curse has been passed down to another.....
I found a post on tumblr saying that Lizzie was a crow, destined to be forgotten and shunned, which I think fits her better than being the new canary
this needs an update lol..(he did it again)
The Canary has left the cage but is it truly free?
"Did the Canary ever love the Coal Mine?"
"Well, I certainly tried."
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH OMG THIS IS SO COOL FINALLY A JIMMY CENTRIC ANIMATIC ALSO OMG THE SHOT OF EVERYONE TOGETHER AT THE END AND ALSO THE BEGINNING BEING FROM JIMMYS POV AND THE PEOPLE MOURNING HIM?????? OMG AND THE SONG FITS PERFECTLY TOO
I JUST REALIZED U ALSO MADE WITCH I LOVE UR WORK SO MUCH
coming here to watch this after he broke the curse
same
Same
But the curse has been passed on to another....
coming back after limited life 💀
Oh I adore this. Jimmy throughout the series, the canary next to a poppy, the flickering between places and people, god my heart. His smile at the end!

The curse is broken but alas it’s past to another…..hopefully Lizzie will overcome the curse so it doesn’t cause her as much pain as he had…..
One of my favourite things about hex is that they don't just do animatics about scar and grian but about all the other storylines from the other talented life members
i've gotta say, excellent song choice! i've had the idea of making a life series jimmy animatic for it before, but never got around to making anything, so it's nice to see someone else's spin on it. i also adore the colours you used throughout; i'm a sucker for pastels. i am so glad this popped into my recommended today.
I think the canary in the coalmine thing fits quite well, I did some research so I could be as accurate as possible but the canary in the coalmine is something old miners did (idk if they still do) to check if it was safe, they would send a canary in and if it died it wasn't safe, if not they could go in, it fits Jimmy's character perfectly, he always dies first, he always went first to the arms of death, just like the canary in the coalmine
Another bit is that the canary in the coalmine can also be used as a "I went first, they left me" situation, because the miners sent the canary in willingly, and didn't try and help when obviously they could help, it's one of the reasons I relate, they sent me in, I didn't come out (*cough cough * ex friendship *cough *)
watching this animatic isn't enough i need it injected into my bloodstream. i love the glitchy tv details and that final line as jimmy's watching his loved ones,,,, he just wants to protect them i'm sobbing
just finish the premier and rewatching this.This is icredible!!! it's soft and pain at the same time I don't know how you do it.
I hope Jimmy sees this!
Y'know... This animatic? And all the others inspired from the Life series.
They're about a bunch of friends playing a silly block game together with some extra rules.
How on earth does that get interpreted and elevated into stuff like... This? It's... amazing, incredible, inspiring.
How could have any of them even think this was how it would go?
And that's not even including all the stuff from Grian's first SMP, Evo, that people have extended to these.
The mystical powers of brainrot
YES there needs to be more Jimmy animatics! This was incredible, you're a super talented artist! I loved how you had parts from his POV, it was really cool
dude. dude this is so cool. probably the first jimmy centered animatic i've ever seen and gosh does it have me on a emotional rollercoaster. ur art is always so pleasant to look at so that made this experience a little bit less painful. i love the flashes of the different skins? events? that happened in that one part, and the mourning, gosh. i will always gobble up inthelittlewood wood crumbs, stupid charisma filled man. i will also, never be over flower husbands. this hurts. overall this animatic was fantastic! i don't know how you keep making bangers after bangers but hey, keep up the fantastic work man
😭 This is so f good!!! god damn why does in every life series animatic i'm always emotional
2:10 Now Limited Life is out it kinda hurts that this scene is off with Mumbo and Ren depicted but not participating.
This video is great!! But there’s a head cannon that everyone who pairs with Scott wins, so the fact Jimmy always dies first and is always furthest from winning, and they had been flower husbands in the first life smp (speaking abt 3rd life), I think of it as the “watchers” had forbidden the love between them, making their curses opposites.
Tim’s the yin to Scott’s yang
Statistically speaking most people who team with Jimmy place lower than usual (this is best seen in Impulse, and Joel) though Martyn and Grian are mostly unaffected by this aspect of the curse I like to think this is because of their connections to the Watchers
So the Ying/Yang thing for the flower husbands is even is stronger
I think this is the only life series animatic I’ve seen that goes over more than one season. Normally they’re third life animatics or double life animatics, this one transcends every season (at the time it came out at least) which is really cool and gives it a bigger scope imo.
If you like that some other animatics that do it are tightrope, times and up, and here we go
Another one after tightrope is life series amv by noxlotl
And another is alice of human sacrifice
This hurts even more after jim in limited life
Amazing video! I love how in the first part of the video, it is all seen in Jimmy's perspective, then there's a transition of him in the life series, then some quotes. Jimmy is walking around, watching people mourn over his death, it was kind of sad to watch him witness everyone trying to cope with his death. Then we see the transition of settlements from thriving to crumbled, and the glitching effect is a nice touch. Finally, we see the scenes from the beginning, but with a canary (and aren't you a wonder at drawing birds). Also, I found the scene of everyone gathered in a circle really nice, Grian's the creator, so he's telling everyone something, Tango, Impulse, and Martyn are just chatting, Pearl is watching Tango, Impulse, and Martyn and everyone else is actually paying attention.
what is it with the crane wives and almost all the best animatics in this fandom being based on their stuff
Now that the Curse is basically canon (as in, acknowledged in-series) I am actively rooting for Jimmy to break it
Well do I have some news for you
I love your animatics! They are so good and i always seem to find myself rewatching them over and over again! You should do an animatic for limited life if you can but i know that animation takes alot if time
Nice. His last death in double life really was just bad luck. His shield broke, the ground was not on his side, an the enderman. Hopefully he isn't out first in the next season.
One of my favorite animatics I’ve ever seen for any fandom. Jimmy has been my favorite creator on the life series, and I’m so happy he finally gets the absolutely incredible animatics he deserves.
Poor Jimmy. Always the first to die... here's to hoping the next Life series will bring him better luck.
I can't decide if I want him to continue being the first one out or if I want him to win next time
It didn't ;(
I've been associating Jimmy with this song ever since I heard it and had wanted to make an animatic but could never find the time. Glad someone decided to make it because this is gorgeous!! Absolutely amazing and good job!!!!!!! 👍
This was so good! RIP Jimmy o7
watching this bad boy on repeat forever, i love you jimmy last life series u are so tragic. the canary analogy for jimmy is my absolute FAVORITE thing, and the way you depict things here is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!!! seeing all the flashbacks between the different life series was so GOOD, the different bases, jimmy's different relationships (flower husbands, the southlands, tango) IM WAAAHHAAAA!!!!!!!!!! crying sobbing weeping will never be the same
“Watching this bad boy…” interesting word choice there, my friend.
@@ihatethisaccount he just predict the future
OO!! I can’t wait for this!! I know it’s gonna be another masterpiece!
**cries**
This was super cool! I loved all the small details you put into this, your art style is beautiful, and The Crane Wives music; this is awesome!
(pancakes)
IM ACTUALLY DYING AT THE SCOTT AND MARTIN SCENE WITH HIM TALKING TO THE PUMPKIN, THIS IS SO GOOD THANK YOU OP
Jimmy died first again 🎉
every scene in this was so heartbreaking and i loved the breaking down of scenes near the end with the canary….
My favorite character designs that you’ve made have got to be impulse, pearl, and tango… especially impulse. I do love all of them though, they’re amazing
I can't believe I was 3 hours late to this MASTERPIECE! I love Jimmy and I watch him on a regular basis so this animatics was just chefs kiss
And the canary curse continues
I need a part 2 for Limited Life and Secret Life
This is actually so fucking good, I’ve been trying to find a double life animatic with this song and you blew it out of the park! His character’s relationships are so complex and I just love how you portrayed that here.
THIS IS SOO GOOD, let me just say, I'm loving all the crane wives in this fandom, and I've also been working on an animatic with a similar premise with this song and this is so cool to see how another person views this song in association with this series and the differences in presentation, what to show and not, and the usage of the lyrics.
It's also so cool seeing the different designs you're using for the characters and the visual effects add so much to this and I greatly applaud you for this
This is actually so sad. All the memories of every life series of Jim. All the deathes and alliances. All said this one short video.
THIS WAS AMAZING!!!
Also if Jimmy reacts to this, someone tell him to read the description plz!!! I would love to see him react to the video AND description
this is amazing! Jimmy was one of my favorites to watch, so it's so cool to see an animatic about his life series journey :D
OMGOSH THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! The song is perfect! Oh the memories... Martin talking to the statue hits hard. this whole thing is amazing
