Had to bring out the vent book for this :' I don't think this it what I had in mind in the beginning ... BRO ANIMATION IS HARD #repesct to all the animators out there you guys I lied I'm not animator HELP YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I HAD TO REWATCH THIS TO MAKE IT PERFECT PLS- also this is the whole backstory animated + the art at the end Mango here .. I think animation ruined my art touch bro I had such a hard time drawing the sketch [ for the art at the end] I have a LOT to say so to save for from the scroll or trying to find tips here are some things to know while watching the animation --> *but before that make sure to take a seat get some popcorn and enjoy the read* - Watch the whole thing there is art at the end YES I'M EXTRA - Click the green flag 3-5 types to make sure to song is in sync with the animation How would I know that? Here are some timestamps I made they should match up with the song at whatever part you are at 1. the first "la la la la" SHOULD be in sync with the eye movement if not click the green flag 2. the money disappearing should also be in sync with each la in "la la la la" [second part] if not click the green flag 3. " everyone is dumb" should be in sync once you get to the car scene if not yk what to do CLICK THE GREEN FLAG There is really nothing else that significant I mean there is more but it probs wouldn't make sense - if you can't see use full screen it's actually not that laggy :" it just won't be in sync tho.. --------- now since we're done with that-- HOLY FO-- I MADE THE DEADLINE YAS I can't believe I did this all in vector I probs spent like 1-5 hours each day working on this qwq for like a week I used over 100 frames.. damn I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DRAW EYES ON VECTOR PLS I fr think that animating with vector art ruined my art.. oh well we're not going to talk abt the art PLS- I was rushing so finish it today qwq Honestly to be fr fr I sadly think I can relate to Yuri most of the things that Leana tell her are things I tell myself [dumb, failure etc etc] and I think I trust the wrong ppl too much :' Most of the things in the art piece [at the end] are things that I say to myself 98% of the time so it was kinda nice to let it out anyway~ this was fun trying to animate with no experience :^ I'll thinking of doing more mini animations NO VECTOR ART IN THEM so stay around for thoses if you haven't already please consider following I spend a lot of time and effort in everyone one of my projects and I'm almost at 200!! though I'm mostly only on scratch to help improve so feedback and criticism WOULD BE AMAZING just not like attacking criticism yk if you even reached down here congarts <3 but there is still more.. I didn't really have another idea for the song because I think it kinda fits how Yuri is feeling after the forest event [betrayed] I think it might have been too extra I'M ALMOST DONE >:^ If you don't know what the backstory is here is it credits to for the backstory I didn't make it I (<--) just animated it: Yuri was a normal African American girl for the most part. She was happy, outgoing, and had many friends. Because she was so likable, she was naive and innocent and her family and friends tended to shelter her from too upsetting things. But one day, an incident changed it all for her. Her mom, who was the main money provider, injured herself in a car accident. Unable to work, her family was forced to move to a different area so her dad could work instead, and she had to switch from online school to a cheaper public school. Her entire life uprooted, she struggled to adapt. She was able to make new friends, but it was harder than just simply sending a message through a school messaging system. And they weren't like the friends she had before. Something was...different. She couldn't tell what,,until her new friend Leana tersely told her to meet her in the forest near the school one day. She didn't suspect anything was wrong, despite Leana's tone. No, she didn't suspect anything, right up until the moment Leana started to yell and mock her, calling her names and telling her how annoying and ignorant her upbeat and ridiculously trusting nature was. Yuri could only stand there, unblinking at the horrible words were thrown at her. And from then on, she wasn't the same. ---------- That's all thank you for reading and if you made it too the end comment bye<3 ---- Credits Art & animation : App/web used for animation : Vector art App used for for drawing [at end] : Ibispaint Time taken for art [at end] :4 hours Song: Dumb Dumb by mazie Backstory + Characters by:
