Music from 'The Box' - Animator vs. Animation VI Ep. 2 - Scott Buckley

[@fhtraveler]

God, the Victim is intimidating the same way Cynthia from Pokemon is intimidating. They're just an ordinary human being, not unlike yourself, but once you're on their home turf and they've got their team to back them up, *you'd better be prepared for the fight of your LIFE.*

[@NovaMations388]

I love that you brought back Victim's motif here! I was so happy to hear it. While this track doesn't have the typical grand orchestral feel, I think that works in this episode's favour, along with just the general feeling of Rocket Company. Chosen vs Victim wasn't a fair fight and I love how it was presented especially in the music here. Well done for a 10/10 score once again Scott!!

[@krej1243]

his leitmotif is my favourite one in the series so far!

[@Shemiya-Shemiya]

U describe dis ost very well

[@sunny-n2222]

Couldn't have said it better myself. Also I feel like both victim and TSC having their own leit motif is gonna play out in future scores if they fight against eachother or something like that, which would be amazing, like, each motif overlaping the other during the fight whenever one of them gets the upper hand. I think it would be really cool to see- or, well, to hear

[@krej1243]

@@sunny-n2222 TCO seemed to also have his motif in Wanted

[@ScottBuckley]

Thanks so much!

[@KeyofM55]

I love that the soundtrack is all Victim's motif until TSC's powers are shown on the memory scanner... how you portrayed it with the abrupt strings and horns. Of course, when Victim shut down TSC's cage, it was all business again... this soundtrack fits the mood p e r f e c t l y

[@bookno255]

Listening to the track again, I'm realising there isn't a sense or hint of triumph in this track. The orchestrational-ness is very absent (as KeyofM55 says, the only point where the orchestrational-ness shows most clearly is when TSC's powers are shown). The protagonists arne't winning and we don't know how they are going to win. It's bleak, it's unnerving and ominous. I'm metaphorically holding my breath the entire time. I love this track!

[@sussy_sammy3356]

omg thats so true :o!!

[@Operator1473]

8:27 is my best part. I just like how this fits through when The Second Coming got shocked because he did not knew he has hidden powers(it's because he was normal at that time and he cannot control his powers)

[@TheLostFighter]

I think he can't control his powers normally like the other hollow heads is because he was never converted to symbol. He was just drawn

[@Operator1473]

@@TheLostFighter yup, and makes sense

[@Outcastsage9033]

@@TheLostFighter i guess that explains why his powers only seem to activate based on emotions such as when he briefly looked just like TCO when he saw his friends get deleted in AVA4 and then when his green powers activated presumably after seeing his friends die again in AVA5

[@TheLostFighter]

@@Outcastsage9033 yeah, like he has the powers because he's still a hallow head. What about victim though? We still haven't seen much of him yet but I think he doesn't really have powers of his own. Why might that be?

[@Outcastsage9033]

@@TheLostFighter victim doesn't have any power because the name determines the power, that's why a name like "the chosen one" has alot of power meanwhile victim has nothing

[@EvieHull]

I love how the beginning has almost the same spinning out-of-control feel that 'One Awful Molment' has in The King. You know at once that victim is in control and the end result isn't going to be pretty. Also, when TCO continues to get up and fight, taking the puzzle out of each problem is incredible. Even though his power is down to 10% he's still going to give it all he's got, using whatever he has to protect himself. Well done, Scott! This music has the perfect feel for the helplessness of everyone in The Box besides victim.

[@EvieHull]

My apologies. It's actually 'One Horrible Moment' not 'One Awful Moment'.

[@undertalerandomvideos5222]

And even with TCO being heavily nerfed, even with victim being heavily buffed, he still almost won victim would've been cooked if TCO wasn't slowed down in the literal last second

[@thisisdull]

i like the nice touch on how the music was barely noticeable at first but becomes more noticeable when victim gets enhanced more and more, great job ❤

[@mycroft3322]

Bro this KZbin production and music is better than a 300 million dollar movie

[@bookno255]

Ambient, ominous, unsettling. Amazing!

[@bestevil.]

In my opinion this is some of your best work you've done for Alan yet. While the music isn't as grand in this episode as others, it's still amazing- no it's literally perfect. The way Victims theme dominates the soundtrack and how it goes along perfectly as soon as he arrives and starts to mess around in THE BOX. The way it cuts out when TSCs powers are revealed, only to come back right after when he's out of the picture. It's just amazing. I really hope we get to see more of his themes, and maybe more for other characters like the ones TSC or Purple have. Uh but anyways I'm gonna listen to this for the next couple weeks on loop now so thanks for making it

[@ZJKing17]

BRO IS COOKIN AGAIN 🔥 Love you always Scott! Much love 💙💛

[@VoxVocisCruora]

I would LOVE to know how Alan phrased his request for this music in particular. "Hey Scott, can I have some music for one of my stick figures to get the crap beat out of them to? Thanks a bunch!"

[@pey5571]

the victim's motif sounds so ominous and cool here! gorgeous work as always!!

[@ryan55731]

This soundtrack is so good! I love how unsettling the whole thing is, really showing that The Chosen One cannot win here. Even in a triumphant(?) moment where The Second Coming finds out about his true power, the orchestral part there shows the uncertainty of the situation, as he has no idea how to activate them again. And 8:56 to the end is an awesome rendition of the music from the end of Wanted, and by far my favourite part of this score! Great work as always!!

[@goolus]

I love 2:48. Here, things get even more intense than they were a few moments ago. It really nails the pressure Chosen is going through. And in 3:04, the music shifts to a more godly tone, representing Victim's incredible speed and combat ability inside the box, surpassing Chosen's skills and overwhelming him. The high muffled-y voice is beautiful and really nails that, It really leaves you speechless..

[@sebastianchavez3487]

the music definitely took a backseat this episode since there werent any grand moments of triumph, but it still set the mood perfectly. i love the part where they realise what orange is capable of at around 8:00

[@letsb3nameless665]

Yk it's been a month since The Box has come out on honestly might be one of my favorite episodes in terms of music. I love how synth-y everything is (which is weird because I'm actually not a huge fan of synth-y stuff), and at first, I thought this soundtrack was weak compared to the rest, but after listening to it for a while, I genuinely love this soundtrack, the little moments of orchestral sounding instruments breaking through the synthyness just to go right back to the original vibe is awesome, and of course Victim's theme at the end but remixed to add more suspension was awesome. This is one of my favorite soundtracks and I'm excited to see what the next episode has to offer :D

[@gvanimation7285]

scott your songs are getting more and more incredible congratulations man.

[@Enderblade18]

This doesn't have the same orchestral flair as usual, but it doesn't have to. See, that's what I like about you Scott. You masterfully craft ever motif you make. In this case, this is all Victim abusing TCO, and Victim is a more synthy character, so you made the song synthy. It just... flows. Nice job!

[@epikoof]

Imagine trying to treat chosen one like a slave when chosen one previoisly excaped slavery.

[@munix1893]

Maybe Victim thinks that Chosen One is actually a slave or a traitor, because as I understand Victim knows that Chosen One isn't an enemy to the animator

[@piolewus]

Victim has a tactic: he doesn’t treat TCO like a slave, but as an enemy of the communist party (any country)

[@gvanimation7285]

3:37 to 3:54 That part is so cool to hear.

[@boiseboi2007]

Great music as always! Loved Victim's motif

[@flitzerios]

How much influence over each character’s leitmotif did you have? Did Alan have clear ideas/expectations?

[@ScottBuckley]

Alan had notes about the tone to aim for - but he gives me a lot of freedom to do my thing, which is nice!

[@flitzerios]

@@ScottBuckley would it be cool if you could say some key words alan was looking for in the creation of victim’s motif? It’d be cool to know his vision for this character based off the music alone

[@luqmanfariswan4024]

I think he knows how Alan is doing through the videos, he just wants to know *where* he is. (Events of Animator vs Animation V probably wasn't shown in YT in their world, the scene TCO and TDL fighting on there is just a gag)

[@veterinariabakata]

if you notice, in avm 30 the tv that shows the avm original animation, has the rocket company logo, so they probably before ava VI they knew about TCO and that he was related with alan as well as the stick gang and other characters like TDL or purple

I knew victim was involved as soon as Agent used the bounding-box to spin Second around in “Wanted” XD that has only been done to a stickfigure one other time in the series, and it was when noogai did it to victim. He didn’t even have to appear onscreen in person; the moment that callback happened, I knew. Seeing him at the end of the episode only confirmed it. I guess I can understand nobody else catching that but idk how anyone could keep denying it’s victim once we see the paintbrush and eraser inside his office.

Yeah, and also there were no other logical villains

Recommendation: whenever it feels more appropriate, like fight scenes, use more melody. Using melodies and motifs can not only signal that something like a fight scene is about to happen, and the melody can really impact the scene.

For now victim is weaker than the dark lord. Alan challenged the dark lord himself so i think yellow will be interrogated and will be asked to bring alan becker's cursor in their world.

@@redstinger0966 no that's the thing. I'm thinking what could solidify Victim as like the greatest threat we'll ever see is the ability to actually commit murder on someone in the real world and that literally is a feat that no one has ever done in the internet world yet. This could also open up dangerous possibilities for vengeful stick figures/sentient programs/etc to take revenge on their human creators, causing an AI uprising and an all out war of human creators fight their creations. Reality vs Fiction. *Animators vs Animations.* And as goes for all war, it will both sides in ruin.
