Panic Room AMV || Past Truths

Instructions

''Every room has a door. Even the Panic Room.'' - Sample 408/Astra SLIGHT BL00D WARNING. It's Astra and here I am sharing with new my new AMV, Panic Room AMV. Inspired by @bodi3 but not nearly as good as hers, this is an animation sequence from 2022 to 2023: Past Truths. It stars Sample 408, Astra, who is also my persona and... you remember that utterly trash animation I put out a few months ago? Freedom Fighter? Well it was all a RUSE. (it was trash bc I was a beginner) Monica does not exist. She is Bella Beechwood, an immensly vengeful and rich 20 year old woman. WHAT IS THE STORY OF PAST TRUTHS??? Astra, 18 and Bella, 19, both opened their brown envelopes with their university in them. Both wanted the University of The Arcane Association. Only Astra got in, relying on studying, while Bella relied on her rich father. But TUOTAA didn't take bribes. They are magical, living on a different universe. It is the closest one to us, except their inhabitants have slight DNA changes at birth that give them magic. Astra got Time Manipulation, an extremely difficult and unpredictable skill, and Bella is a hybrid (if you had any doubt over whether I am a hacker, this is proof that I'm ASTRA) of Human and Angel. A slight gene problem at birth meant that her wings could not unfold more than once a year, but her light is free to use any time she pleases, and so is her main angel power, control of any being who is not herself. This is what she used to capture Astra. When Bella realised she had to stay at school for another year, she left. She had been bullying Astra all her life, how could Astra, of all people, GOT IN??? Using her rich father's funds, she started her own University, despite being extremely young, The University of Magical Science. This was a great success and after Bella settled down, she got her revenge on Astra. In the beginning, Astra got a message to complete an important ritual. When she does it, however, a stick is thrown at her. She realises there's someone there, but she doesn't realise that Bella's brother has tech magic, which he used to forge the message. Astra is captured, and tortured and force-fed. But then we see a fight taking place. (NOT MEANT TO BE RACIST). One of them wins, and as Astra is being force-fed, he uses light manipulation, his power. His name is Michel Endronomy, a student from The University of Magical Science, training to be a medic. He heard this from Bella's older brother (34) a proffessor at the UOMS. He realised what was going on and used his power and a borrowed sword to rescue her. But this isn't the Prince Charming trope. Astra will be doing great things, very soon... ANIMATOR'S NOTE: This is quite a short AMV but it used 220+ frames. I used this song as it symbolised Astra's situation; past truths came to haunt her. This symbolyses a great change in my style. I am a bit like , but I focus on lighting instead of action, and color is an important part of my animation. I am using improved graphics, and 3 POVs: 1.) Side 2.) Central 3.) Person (Michel and Astra) 4.) Zoom There's also something behind the seemingly bland backgrounds. The ritual is in the middle of the night, pitch black. When Astra closes her eyes, it's blue, and the sword fight took place in sunrise. So, yeah, that's why the backgrounds are not as good as Bodi's. (and also bc I'm a bad animator). Exams are in October, so I will share 1 or 2 AMV of Past Truths per month or two. I am taking a hiatus from the first to the 14th of October, so I can pass. Thank you so much for reading! If you want to suggest a song, please do so in the comments. Are you for the University of Arcane Associations or the University of Magical Science???
