Oom Sha La La ❁ Leafpool Scrapbook PMV

wanted to try something new,, felt like doing traditional animation but it was too hard
process was sketching it digitally, lining and colouring digitally, then printing and cutting out, setting up the shots and then uploading back to vegas to edit. was hell and my hands hurt
Music - Oom Sha La La by Haley Heynderickx
Art - birdkiye
Warriors - Erin Hunter
Characters - Leafpool, Squirrelflight, Crowfeather, Jayfeather, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, Ashfur

Nobody is going to talk about how Bird literally added the extra detail of kits with blue eyes when they’re really young???? The detail here so good

[@LilacpetaI_Art]

Fr i love that!

[@Phantom_Of_Fandoms]

Me too!!

[@Musicpup613]

OKAY WOW. i never comment on anything in the fandom but i just had to say something here. i had to stop at every frame to look at all the cute little details you added on the pieces of paper. lion and jay’s name on the name ideas??? the little letter from mothwing on the napkin??? ADORABLE. the scrapbook style is such a unique take on a pmv. you really knocked it out of the park with this one. i love love love

[@birdkiye]

thank you sm!

[@river-of-noodles]

As did I!

[@uoubestbuduou3493]

ARGHHH SAME- This was amazing and I can tell you put ALOT of effort into it! I don’t usually see people do pmvs with scrapbooks but this one was literally amazing. Even though this wasn’t my favorite song or anything, this is DEFIANTLY my favorite PMV.

[@MezephelesArt]

​@@uoubestbuduou3493Defiantly...

[@sodo_mizer]

Oh gosh just finished this after almost pausing every single scene in this- this is probably my favorite MV I have ever seen from this fandom, the scrapbook stuff is absolutely adorable, and it feels so real

[@Azucenary]

This is amazing. I love the illustrations and how you combined scrapbooking into it. I love how in the end Leafpool writes to herself, finally finding an outlet. I cannot believe how much time this must’ve took. Thank you for this.

[@birdkiye]

thank you!! :)

[@DearDeadDeer]

Man, I’ve just been thinking “this is a super unique and exceptionally executed map style.” The idea that these are just glimpses into a scrapbook Leafpool “made” to cope is just 🤯

[@Sunset013]

@@DearDeadDeer it’s not a map, lmao

[@Northflowo]

HEYYYYYY this is so good I don't have the words??????

[@ossifrage8770]

The way it switches to full animation at the last "I need to start a garden" is A++, such a fantastic moment in an already great pmv

[@Cassiopia_Swan]

The "Dear diary" notes at the very end about the three are heart touching! A great addition!

[@owlipoppen]

WOW.... this has to be one of the coolest things ive ever seen! it felt so creative and so like?? Personal compared to a usual pmv of this storyline... 🥺🥺 leafpool my beloved... 10/10 made me tear up

[@birdkiye]

ty!!

[@bellers_needs_bread8634]

This is so incredible. I love all the details from the diary entries, to the feathers and leaves, and the picture collages; everything in the video was amazing. This has to be one of the best wc videos I’ve seen in some time! You deserve a long rest after making this! It’s clear you put so much work into it, and it absolutely paid off!!

[@birdkiye]

thanks heaps! :D

[@ursiday]

WOW what a fantastic video, I'm so in love with all the details you put in this! It feels so real and touching

[@Lanternd]

When urisiday comments you know this video is good

[@thewisestdino3964]

THIS IS SO BRILLIANT!! I'm obsessed with how you used the medium to tell the story, it wasn't just pictures it was little notes! And the aesthetic of a scrapbook fits Leafpool so perfectly! You really nailed it I will definitely be coming back to this one

[@pianopickles_]

Edit: Damn, Leafpool really said she should touch some grass- Such an original idea! I love it sm

[@KZFathom]

this has brought me to actual tears, the premise is so creative and ive never felt for leafpool this much before.

[@baliean4609]

I really like how the dates on the photos correspond to the dates the books came out on it's a really cool detail

[@kyliesmith2004]

As someone who has kinned Leafpool for years٫ this is the best video that has portrayed both of us Ive ever seen.

[@CoolattasLab]

omg... I just got this in my recommended and I love it sm.... the details made me keep pausing to look and read it's so lovely!!! the little crossed out names with "isn't that his ex?" made me laugh this whole video is beautiful

[@diceonvenus]

I cannot express how much I LOVE this. I constantly had to stop and read the little details and just AGH theyre so cute. "Featherkit? ///// isnt that his ex?" "Windkit? ///// too on the nose." "Lets hang out! -Moth" "We're going to run away together to be in love" "I miss my family" Those are some of my favorites, and just everything about this is AWESOME. I've never seen anyone do this before, the art was sweet, the details were cute and made sense, and I'm honestly just. Wow.

[@hawktalon7890]

I've never seen a PMV this inventive, it's beautiful. While I've mostly fallen out of love with [canon] Warriors, this showed up in my recommended videos tonight. It's so nice that people are still actively creating content for a series that shaped so many kids.

[@v3dhd483]

Okay okay so I really like how at 0:49 you show each of the three in the big picture and then leaf and squirrel, but then when you get to holly their is a bunch of tape keeping her down, along with Ashfur. I really like these details you put into this pmv it’s beautiful

[@miko4018]

i usually just lurk on youtube but man... this is really well done. the scrapbook concept is original and fun, but it also adds such a sense of personal connection that i think is hard to capture in a lot of warriors animations. it makes the characters feel real and relatable despite the fact that they're living in such a fantasy world. like, the concept of diaries and little notes on scrap paper is so mundane and human. it makes you so sad to see the people in those happy notes go through horrible things. when i saw hollypaw's name crossed out, and leafpool's entries of "it's getting better now" at the end.... man. not to mention all the effort and love that was clearly put into this. amazing job, really

[@birdkiye]

thanks a lot!! :)

[@Flannel2Fire]

I love the little details, from the blue eyes when leaf and Squirrel are kittens to the family markings like the face stripes on leaf, Jay, and lion

[@Rayan_Does_Videos]

Leafpool is actually one of my favorite medicine cats besides littlecloud, mothflight, ect. I sorta relate to her. I don't have any kids or lover XD. Great vid

[@ThatLittleKitten]

I think this is one of the most creative things to come out of the fandom

[@Clay.Cosmos]

The "I need to start a garden" part of this is just....... BREATHTAKING. My favorite part. Cant even describe how much I love it. Though I think I just did; great work!

[@curs3_caracal]

this is absolutely stunning! so much detail and love and care went into this and everyone can tell! the art is adorable and the storytelling through the pictures is amazing! well done!

[@streamlily5971]

This video introduced me to Haley and her music. Two years later I’ve gotten to see her in concert and meet her. The warrior cats community unknowingly changes so many lives in so many silly ways

[@quincedii9635]

I’ve loved your art for such a long time and honestly EVERYTHING you put out is a masterpiece- the amount of patience this must’ve taken, everything is just gorgeous and perfect! I LOVE IT

[@lj2659]

I love Leafpool so much. This has the most creative idea out of any pmv I’ve ever seen. I’m in love with every aspect of this: the song, the drawings, the scrapbook aesthetic. Amazing job

[@rxraltzna]

I ADORE THIS! i love the little bits in the background, like leafpools diary entries and notes on names for the kittens. adorable!! and i loved the use of real world objects to convey emotion, this was amazing!! keep it up, this is extraordinary!!!

[@nicorozner7417]

This is a really creative and well executed idea. Blending a traditional PMV with photography, scrapbook-style pictures and journal entries makes the whole thing seem... alive somehow. I love this!

[@Softsocks]

I can't even find the word to say how AWESOME this was!! I love every little detail, my favorite part is the " dear diary " stuff! Amazing work!!!

[@PoisonFate]

this was a lovely experience! thank you for the clear time and love that went into this pmv

[@MarsXandria]

Oh my god this is so creative and impressive and detailed and adorable and amazing oh my god. I can really feel the happy and bittersweet feelings of growing up, nostalgia and life stages in this telling of her (and Holly's) story, and healing too. This is so beautiful. I can't even put it into words (I'm not good with words to begin with lol). This is so damn creative, impressive and enjoyable it makes me happy and that ending too she deserves it. My lord this is fantastic!!!

[@birdkiye]

thank you :)

[@MarsXandria]

Np!!

[@RandomNPC-m6u]

Ah yes the Warriors book we ALL needed… Leafpool’s Garden

[@evilpiecrustinyourhusk]

The little diary entries at the beginning seem so hopeful, it's kind of sad.

[@IncBot]

This is the absolute best PMV I have ever seen. It really feels like the most raw, personal, real tale of Leafpool’s story and it’s oh so beautiful,

[@madc1568]

So we all agreeing this is the most unique PMV we’ve ever seen in this fandom? Every little detail is so meticulous you did such an amazing job

[@sofiyaradlovskaya8001]

This PMV makes me so sad, it’s beautiful but it also shows how Leafpool was a young cat, pretty much a bit more than a teen when she fell in love with Crowfeather and simply wanted someone who understood her because she was feeling left out, only to become part of this prophecy and have her life ruined and feel guilty for hurting others as well. The scrapbook notes with how she feels just make my heart hurt, they’re so bittersweet. Leafpool is my absolute favorite character and doesn’t deserve all the hate

[@TeaUnicorn]

i've watched this 5 times and cried every time, this is easily top 10 warriors PMVs of all time

[@breezepawlt]

the way u made the real crystal as the moonstone GOD i love u

[@AdelaTomankova]

Omg this is amazing! I love the little details, makes it really seem like it's leafpools diary, this has now given me an idea to make a journal of one of the warriors characters like this where they write about their experiences

[@tulukas2561]

this is literally one of the most creative things I've seen i wouldnt be surprised if these kinds of mv's end up being a trend should this video blow up

[@wirepenn2064]

I’m not super involved in the warriors fandom any more but oh my goodness this is an absolutely genius idea and was executed so well! It’s so gorgeous and i love the atmosphere it creates. Also the dates on the photos and the idea of Leafpool having a diary is so fun and getting to see her journey and thought process was so cool. This was just so beautifully put together and honestly made me cry a little. You’re brilliant!! Omg after rewatching I just noticed the rainbows in the back at 1:48 ❤️❤️❤️ Also the use of colours and backgrounds/scrapbooking paper >>>

[@birdkiye]

thank you!! :)

[@Dawnlotus]

Holy cow!!! This has so much emotion instilled within it, such a handcrafted love, this is gorgeous.

[@tinydancerpresents1504]

I love how as the kits go by, Leaf and Squirrel get increasingly sad. Then Holly shows up and Squirrel’s like ”What have I done?!”

[@leafheart9477]

This is gorgerous! I ADORE Leafpool's soft and delicate design! I wanna hug her :3

[@dewniper]

THIS IS THE BEST THING I HAVE SEEN THIS YEAR I SWEAR ITS SO BEAUTIFUL DEFINITELY GOING IN MY FAVOURITE PLAYLIST

[@Varient]

THIS IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED The scrapbook style is so unique. and all the little details, like the date of Leafpool's first day as an apprentice, and the note from Mothwing on the napkin were so cool! Extremely well done!

[@ZRAWRIE225]

I know I’m one year late but I love how you made leafpools & squirrel fights eyes blue like how real kittens do when they are a newborn!

[@dovesveins333]

the lengths the fandom goes to express their creativity in unique ways astounds me and i hope it never changes. the way you set up this pmv genuinely makes the emotions much more palpable and real than traditional animation, because it's as if the cats themselves are writing on their experiences with the little details like the baby names and the diary section at the end. honestly, this is probably one of my favorite pmvs of all time and i hope you'll be able to create more like it!

[@ForeverWildstar]

this is by far the most stylized and beautiful pmv ive ever seen! i love scrapbooking and the feel here is captured perfectly as you took advantage of the medium to not only tell the story but show us leafpools inner thoughts as she struggles through this part of her life. part of why i love scrapbooking is how personal they can be and this pmv highlights that fact. the art is fantastic, your editing is perfect and somehow your usual smooth and clean style of lining and coloring is complemented (not overshadowed) by the mixed media approach. if anything it makes it more picturesque

[@slowgo5552]

This is so unique! I also love all the little details you put into it, really leaning into the entire scrapbook aesthetic! ^^ All the little notes, the extra pictures (like the olives and the pomagranite) + the little notes on the pictures! (I especially love how it's clear how much work you also put into choosing the backgrounds aswell) ^^

[@DreemyDreemz]

OH MY GOSH THIS STYLE OF PMV IS SO PRETTY AND PLEASING AND TJE SONG GOES PERFECT AND IT FITS LEAFPOOL SO WELL, SHE 100% HAS A DIARY I- It's so good oh my gosh, you're so talented :0 I haven't even gotten to the gorgeous art?? I love that all the cats look different, yet you can still tell who's related :D

[@ArchAngelAnnabelle]

The details are amazing!! It's such a fun and unique idea to do it in the form of a scrapbook, and you pulled it off fantastically! :D I love the art and all the shots have a lot to look at! Awesome

[@jucicat]

Why doesn't this have more recognition??? Every frame looks so good! I forgot that I was watching a PMV midway through because I was too impressed with how much work went into it.

[@cookiecat6490]

OMG this is by far the best pmv I've seen. The visuals are just a amazing

[@anjoazzul]

MEU DEUS! ISSO ESTÁ INCRÍVEL! Eu simplesmente amo arte com colagem e você fez isso muito bem, parabéns! 💕

[@me-sg8og]

i hope that by the time i come back to this it will have ATLEAST 100k views or even more,this is underrated

[@AverytheBug]

This is so cool!! The drawings look like they were taken straight from a graphic novel!! :D

[@bobear65]

The 'I'm coming to terms with it' part at the very end is so heartbreaking oh my god

[@squirtle_10]

this is so creative! i love the little dear diary sections and how it feels like leaf pool really wrote them, the kit name ideas and such. very talented!!

[@handstouchinghands]

This is absolutely gorgeous - so textural and lovely, what a joy to watch! I just know that I'll keep coming back to this!

[@bugbites666]

This is STUNNING I can't begin to imagine how long this took!

[@LovethatLightning]

🐈‍⬛Okay- This- This- *Deep Inhale* THIS WAS SO PURE AND AMAZING! I loved the details in every single part. Leafpool is also one of my most favorite cats- so this just makes it even better! Good job.

[@thunderpathproductions6810]

This is so cool and unique like wow, just wow. The amount of detail. How it matches the music. This has literally inspired me to to start a diary or scrap book or something. It's just that good! I also love how it really focuses on Leafpool's emotions with her children, like really in-depth, rather than just state events. I especially love the end when she is reflecting on her relationship with her children. This is why I love this fandom, just awesome people creating awesome things.

[@SnowEarDraws]

Wow this is so unique! It’s incredible in the way it all looks.

[@catandrobbyflores]

I can't believe I didn't find this sooner! This is incredible and I can't begin to imagine how long this took to make!

[@GOOSEFLAVORED]

this is the most unique thing ive seen come from the fandom in a while, i love this so much!

[@Tidestrider]

Omg this is so creative dude?? Leafpool is one of my comfort characters and I adore your designs. This looks so wonderful!

[@beaujames2117]

this was absolutely phenomenal, like i just- im amazed. the song choice? perfect. the way you drew the characters? stunning. the scrapbook style? just perfect. i am absolutely amazed by this! keep up the amazing work!!!

[@Pebbleclouddd]

This is so wonderfully made omg!

[@pygmeowlion]

This has got to be one of my favorite works of art right now. I am in awe of the scrapbook theme here, because it just really works well with the song, the scenes, and even Leafpool herself. I feel like she’d be a scrap book kind of person. The placement of objects, little doodles; that little name list, makes It feel very real if that makes any sense. I just love it so much 😭

[@moona_rue]

I’m blown away by this pmv ITS SO CREATIVE I’ve never seen something like this oml I LOVE THIS GREAT JOB 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@snynxe1843]

OOH MY GOD 😭 i could not stop happy stimming the entire time i was watching this it’s SO CREATIVE and SO WELL EXECUTED and AHHH i have no words. i love this so much. this must have taken so much time & effort thank you for making this

[@Basilthefirefly]

Idk about you but I think leafpools gonna start a garden All jokes aside this is beautiful and it must have taken you a while. Insanely underrated. I’m subbing.

[@elw4105]

this is literally the coolest PMV i've ever seen, absolutely stunning!

[@AugustRiversJr]

The amount of effort and time. Dude this is amazing. One of a kind

[@Nogiistune]

this is probably one of if not the best pmv ever made, this is AMAZING

[@moonblossom_IDK]

This is a really creative idea for a PMV. I love it!

[@jupitartz]

I think this is the most creative and expressive pmv I’ve ever seen, I’m OBSESSED with every frame!!!! The dedication and time this must have taken, incredible work!

[@colonelshadow]

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS!!! i've been thinking about leafpool a lot recently and this just,, perfectly sums up my thoughts on her. the use of the scrapbook to showcase her life and the moment of clarity when she screams is just,,, beautiful. wonderful pmv, tysm for creating it and sharing

[@jewag]

this is so stunning?? Its crazy how it hasn’t blown up yet!?!?!?!!?! So much work must’ve gone into this! Wow!!! Wowowoow!!

[@aleciaswallow254]

um ok peaking in creativity rn this was literally so good and you’re a genius WHHHHHH

[@megmoore8681]

this is one of my favorite warriors fanworks ive seen in forever oh my god!!! its just so perfect. i

[@lula1131]

this is genuinely the most beautiful and creative pmv ive ever seen. every little detail in this is so perfect and fits together like a puzzle piece!! ive never seen anything like this before and i hope so many more people see this too. this is so inspiring and im so excited to see more of your work!! ^ ^

[@thepetersons5139]

This is one of my favourite PMVs of all time. The storytelling paired with the scrapbook style is no doubt amazing. I found this not long after posted but only found the words to do so now. You deserve more attention, because this is awesome.

[@AmyRose879]

This was breathtaking, you dont see alot of warriors pmvs like this. Amazing job!

[@MemeTrain420]

This is such a neato idea! I've never seen this before!!! I love all the little details and it's such a fresh and fun way to tell Leafpool's story! I hella love it!

[@palerose1643]

Omg this is the most original and creative PMV I've ever seen :00 Really one of my favorite so far!!

[@Basilthefirefly]

I like the detail of leaf and squirrel having blue eyes as kits. Fun fact; kittens are born with blue eyes but they change color after a while!

[@ratter1023]

Absolutely incredible, I've never seen a scrapbook type of pmv. What a unique idea! Love the video

[@coldfissionclancy235]

I was absolutely floored when I first saw this. I love all of the paper cutouts, the diary entries, and the little details you added to the video. You portrayed the story SO well and the scrapbook style really goes well with it. You should be proud.

[@swirlshine]

ONE OF THE BEST PMVS I'VE EVER SEEN HANDS DOWN

[@bat_socks]

okay where to start… JUST WOW! This is nothing but pure talent- like how in the world!? I’ve always love leafpool as a character, but I what starting to forget about her and… THIS COMPLETELY CHANGED THAT! This changed my view on her so much! It really made me realise how hard her life’s been and how disrespected she’s been! GREAT WORK!!!! Definitely one of my favourite PMVs!!!

[@xenonentity]

this is such an incredible idea!! i really really love how you did this, multimedia projects are honestly so underrated and this works together so splendidly

[@BumbleTus]

This is absolutely incredible! hat an amazing idea. so many wonderful small touches added here and there really brings this together and your designs for all the characters? Wonderful, love them.

[@scepticalhyenas5750]

I... honestly I'm speechless with how fucking cool this is

[@Artyskepty]

I think this is the best Warriors PMV I've seen in years

[@fireworksforme2]

This is so cool and also the reason why I’ll never forgive the Erins for killing her off in a super edition

[@leoxxii]

WOW this is so pretty and such a cool idea!! loved all the tiny written details (the name ideas and 'leafpaw's first day' especially made me smile!!)
