Cain OC PMV Storyboard

I started working on this a month or so ago and after finishing some owed art I let myself finish this! I’m excited to make this PMV. A lot of the character art should be pretty easy, I’m not looking forward to the backgrounds though lmao
I might do the same thing that I did with Pigeon and make a couple big backgrounds for the majority of the video, idk
Besides it maybe being kinda hard to tell which character is which, I feel like the storyline of the PMV is pretty straight forward. These are some of my OCs, the main one being Root. The wolf near the end, I’m sure some of you recognise, is Pyro! The other family members I have no names for yet rip
I was just excited about making this ah well.

The PMV for the storyboard is done! kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6jUnpyBprOsjqM

[@0rb]

It is, and it’s absolutely amazing! Worth the wait. :0

[@Xenonowo]

I’m so happy, it’s literally amazing. I’ve been waiting ever since this came out for the finished version to come out. Amazing work!

[@cooler-ian]

the fact that you actually finished it 2 years later is amazing, i could never-

[@hotdog2611]

Ok late but I think we can all agree that Root doesn't regret a single thing they did at all, they just act sad around the wolf to not get caught (As in make the wolf believe it was a accident or something), but that's just what I think

[@toxiccatron867]

ClosestPoint or, you can go obvious and she actually doesn’t care, because that’s the smartest option for somebody to make. I think hot dog is right, and she actually doesn’t care, and she’s just acting not to get killed by the wolf

[@Rudymentary]

@@fauxmarble7439 where

[@arson8265]

Ngl this is kinda toxic

[@no_dojo8056]

I still don't see how the wolf could think that it was an "accident". She's covered in blood, there are graves prepared for her victims, and the family is lying dead there. Totally not suspicious..... The wolf is a cool character, but seems pretty gullible at the situation.

[@tacomuncherkevin]

Lil' Puff He’s probably in disbelief that his own friend would do that so he probably chooses not to believe it

[@Starstruck_Seven]

And the fact that this wasn't just a snapping point, because Root already had planned enough to have graves dug for her family, shows how much this was premeditated.

[@Featherpool]

I think that if the main is root, their brother shoud be tree! The tree is always seen while roots are usually forgotten, whileas trees are easily removed while roots tend to... linger. EDIT: this is the most liked comment I’ve ever gotten lmao

[@frosted_clover2077]

God that’s genius.

[@Featherpool]

MelanieHatter's Animations thanks! I’m pretty proud of the idea XD

[@rabbiscuittt]

This is such an underrated comment this is a great ideaaaa

[@fazieco]

Omg I love your idea so much, I hope they use the name tree for the kitty

[@Featherpool]

Haha thanks!

[@oogaboogaamy]

Not only is the storyline perfectly written, but the song being called 'Cain' is a direct reference to the biblical story of Cain and Abel where Cain (Root) kills his Abel (Root's sibling) because Abel was God's (their parents) favourite. Very clever. Very perfect choice.

[@calamity2383]

That’s really cool, I can’t believe I didn’t notice

[@fernaldoishere]

I really like how the main character was written. They have a sort of manipulative personality, for example crying to make the wolf feel bad but then not actually being visibly sad at all. Everything drawn here is really dramatic and cool, especially the last death. I really can't wait to see this done! Edit: After reading a few comment, probably from people who know more about this story than me, I like that she only shows feelings when people look at her. Maybe it's not that she's manipulative and it's just that she doesn't show emotion?

[@emmaesta9444]

She only seems to show emotion when someone, Pyro, looks at her after the killing spree, so id think its a manipulative personality!

[@Thegreatmaddu]

OHNMY GOD THAT PART AT LIKE 2:30 GAVE ME CHILLS LIKE DANG even tho this is an animatic it already looks so good!! Like youre really great at capturing mood and going with the music,, its crazy to see how quick it went to cute and calm to violent, and you can even see that reflected in your style too, like it subtlety changes when more intense things happen. Really cool!!

[@skybloomchannel]

Hahaha holy shite

[@gruslen]

Your song choices are always perfection! It's weird seeing such a sympathetic and concerned Pyro, but I absolutely here for that kind of duality. As well as with, Root. I like how as he (assuming he?) kills a member of his family he gets more violent with each one. He certainly seems to hold a bigger grudge towards his parents than his brother. Excited to see this when its completely done! I'm still reeling from Pigeon and this one might lay me out entirely.

[@Starcheopteryx]

well this long before pyro is a bad pee pee man. it was actually really hard to draw him like this though, I'm so used to making him look like a mean old man!

[@INAI1NAIREBOOT]

I'm excited to see this finished. The emotion in the characters is so well done. I adore the little parts keeping in time to the beat. Real nice touch. What song did you use for this? It's a good choice.

[@akreator6400]

Song - Cain by Cousin Marnie

[@pierrotstar]

This is amazing!^ the characters seem so interesting! I'd love to learn more about them!! this may sound weird, but you're sorta one of my biggest inspirations. The ashfur pidgeon AMV inspired me to draw and learn about animation etc.

[@Starcheopteryx]

that's so nice to hear omg ;o;

[@user-tw8bh5bn1m]

The part where the blood slowly spreads and their paw unclenches really hit me, it’s so suspenseful!! The story fits so well with the animation

[@kahbob3791]

oh my gosh after the multitude of times i’ve watched this amv i’ve only just realized that when the dad shows up and there’s the shot overhead of the clearing you can see the three graves that have been dug. CHILLS!!

[@aphroditeb7726]

THE SHOT AT 2:30 WHEN ROOT DRAGS HER CLAWS AGAINST HER (or is it his?) MOTHER'S THROAT LOOKS SO COOL I know it's kinda dark but I love how the blood effects make it seem like the sound is the mother's blood tl;dr this pmv is awesome

[@bubblesmeow7172]

Already had all 3 graves dug at 1:41

[@russianvesper3866]

Nice eye

[@jewelsthecat5331]

I thought this was Ivypool at first due to the thumbnail, but I quickly realised its an OC. From the comments I’ve read, the story sounds really interesting! Can’t wait to see it finished!!

[@yukaii0]

2:31 ok but that was geniuenly really out of nowhere and scary like omgshjcjs

[@HER_Only_sIN]

The way the blood spurted from his mother when he did that claw rip omg

[@Jenny-wz7nc]

she really said: *"Im gonna pull something i like to call a pro gamer move"*

[@luqaas]

let the bodies hit the floor

[@ROTICURE]

ohmygod this is really good!! the end gave me vibes that root had no regrets in killing his/her family, and played it off to the wolf to seem that way. im guessing root is close w/ the wolf?? also i love how you made hope when the third cat was about to kill them, but we got a sneaky pulled on us. [ haha tbh kinda wish they did,, im not one to like villain characters ]

[@Donnyclaws]

THS IS SO GOOD, i swear everytime u post i just watch it like, 15 times to absorb it and see all the killer expressions over n over again

[@Starcheopteryx]

AAAA i wish youtube comments supported pictures so i could send that picture of Kermit holding his phone with hearts everywhere!!

[@Donnyclaws]

@@Starcheopteryx GDSJKHG dw dude i can envision it and i'm sending back that white cat screaming with the hearts around it !!!!!!

[@MINTLEFLOWER]

OH MY GOD THAT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! THE PART AT 2:30 THOUGH,, ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!! IT REALLY WAS UNEXPECTED NGL AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT I LOVE ABOUT IT,,,,

[@beanboxd5526]

Can I just say I love how the lighting was on root when their siblings went to look for them. And when they were about to kill the dad.

[@tawdrytime]

Holy Heckin Heck,,,,, I was so pumped to finally watch this once i heard about it on twitter and jeez my dude,,, you did not disappoint!!! That beat drop at 2:33 literally made my jaw drop, I can't wait to see the rest!!!!!

[@INAI1NAIREBOOT]

The best part is that the blood spray is timed with the drop aaaaaaa

[@ravenousrebel]

AAAA THIS IS SO GOOD + i love the timing in this pmv! even the little details! not sure if it was intentional or not but i love how the pool of blood at 1:54 is the shape of the cloud in the next image!!

[@sunlitwaters]

The emotions gave me literal chills! I love the ending how he started crying but then gave that look ooooh wow!!

[@pinebarks]

Ur stuff literally gives me will to live i want to melt my teeth with it its so good

[@hyahymnal]

This is absolutely chilling! Great so far, and I do think lyrics could help decipher the higher parts of singing.

[@amygdata]

Here's what I think, I think I might think Root didn't feel included in the family, or had something against the family. Therefore killing them. Root seems to only show emotion and cry when the wolf is around to not get caught, to seem pitiful to get the wolf to help them.

[@ShigaDabii]

Root is terrifying. Good work on the video like always, comic!

[@snakescales7747]

When they killed the mom that was epic

[@TheDragonCat99]

Gotta love sociopaths, even if they can’t love ya back!

[@cncgordonchris]

I LOVE this there's so much emotion and ugggh I'm so excited for the finished product

[@Starcheopteryx]

There’s one thing I’m not sure about that maybe you guys can help me with; should I add lyrics to the final product? I feel like it would look good in some places, but not in others... thoughts?

[@dreamofviolence1575]

ComicSavagery lyrics to accentuate some scenes would be super cool, just experimenting is a good idea

[@rxraltzna]

Id say add them and see how they look! Maybe it they don’t look good you could put it behind characters or make it less obvious!

[@littlefanggz8570]

ComicSavagery I think you should add lyrics in certain places but in others, just leave it to the animation. Sometimes the lyrics can pull away from scenes with a lot of movement, y’know?

[@pinebarks]

I think lyrics would look good! If you cant really find a place for them try to add them in the bg and smaller or smth?

[@crystalcolors2229]

Lyrics in only some parts can actually work really well and it can be pulled off! For example the map Needletails Duology only has lyrics in some parts

[@grievers2762]

This is absolutely gorgeous. The song fits so well with the story board. If it looks this good now I can't wait to see it finished.

It’s so well done when she climactically murders her mother- I love the camera movements!! And the manipulative vibes she gives off when she fake-cries for sympathy are chilling!!! The facial expressions are insane! There are even a ton of little details- like at 1:41 for example, there are already graves dug out for all three of her family members! The style of art and how the shots switch matches the beat of the music perfectly, and it’s incredible!!!!! Is this still going to become a full PMV? Honestly, it’s amazing enough right now- but if it is, I can’t wait!!

I feel root ( not the murder part of course ) I lived with my cousins for three years and everyone seemed to love my cousin so much , and my parents compared me to her and it pissed me off . I thought if you want to replace me with her fine then! not going to lie i thought of killing her ( Fantasized not actually planning it) but i am good now
