Letter to My 13 Year Old Self / OC Animatic

“Keep on going with your silly dream, life is prettier that it may seem...”
Hello again! Back in record time from my previous animatic, and of course, this is not related to the previous one yet again.
I attended a ‪@laufey‬ concert a while back and really loved this song, which eventually inspired the making of this video! Though it’s titled as an “OC Animatic,” this is more of just my persona plus a few cameos of the people (and dog!) in my life. I hope that this is something my 13 year old self would enjoy.
Also... maybe a behind the scenes video is in the works! Only time will tell...
✦ Original Song: • Laufey - Letter To My ...

Hey guys!! I made a process video for the making of this animatic, you can go watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWKbl2SIZ5aCas0si=Z_a9o-8YGMY__t-- Thank you again so much for all the support you’ve shown this video! Though I may not be able to reply to everyone, I try my best to read all your comments-they mean the world!!

[@no_li-fe]

dude this is something my grandma would make back in 1980 for my mom

[@mizukukun]

That sounds super sweet !!

[@BearJams202]

MY HEART! We ought to forgive our past cringy selves. Kill the part of you that cringes and love yourself, forgive yourself, recognize how much you've changed.

[@mizukukun]

YES!!! BE CRINGE BE FREE!! These animatics were done traditionally because I just wanted to make something, rather than be a perfectionist about it (digital stuff allows undos). Keeping the little mistakes makes it human

[@BearJams202]

This feels like the nostalgia you get when you look through an old journal and see a bunch of old pictures and stories you wrote I love it

[@mizukukun]

Aaaah yes!! As someone who has kept a lot of journals when I was younger, I love looking through and reading them.
