Most exhausting project I have EVER done xD -------------------------------------------------------------------------There's a part or two where it might harm some flash sensitive people ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *slamming my head against the wall because half of my progress got deleted when the internet went out and the page refreshed* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I have a quite a story for this project. I tried to get it out by when Hocus Pocus 2 came out, but clearly I failed cause I've already seen the new movie prior to posting. (it was okay, I give it a 5 - 6/10) So it's actually Halloween themed, and I had always and originally planned that so...xP I made it a black and white kinda theme, to add like an old-timey and spooky kinda effect and it also helped bring out the witches' magic ------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I was making notecards, cause thats how i study, for science and we were learning the periodic table and how it was designed and stuff, and the song Lily by Alan Walker came on my earbuds. And I thought back to a project I made for it earlier and how it kinda sucks bc its like the same thing over and over again and wasn't rly animated cause there were like 3 pictures. And I was thinking that I should make another animatic for it soon. But I wasn't sure what to put in it. If you look at animatics for the song on YouTube, you'll find relatively the same thing. some demon comes and is like disguised as a dude and basically kidnaps her or whatever. But I didn't personally think that it fit the story in the song all the way. At least it's not how I always visualized it. So i got to thinking: what theme I would do if I made a new animatic. And it was like BOOOOOOM the idea just SLAMMED ITSELF INTO MY TINY BRAIN. Hocus. Pocus. Themed. The blonde witch would always sing and hypnotize the kids to come so they could steal their youth, and that's what she would be doing in the animatic. The "magic story you've been told" was with the spellbook. And there was no random reason why the people were kidnapping Lily, like in some of the other animatics. (Not trying to dis them...but I'm just saying my thought process. A couple of them r rly interesting tho, and the art is waaaaaay better than mine xP) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- (this song kinda gives me Tangled/Rapunzel vibez tbh) In summary, the song is about the backstory of a little girl named Lily, who grew up safe and isolated from the outside world. So she didn't truly know all the dangers that was out there. And when she left, she was met with "monsters" she didn't expect and a fate she didn't necessarily deserve. The moral of the song is to be careful and stay alert.
