[@GorillaTagFanVR]

I had no idea what happened

[@eeee7950]

⁠​⁠@@GorillaTagFanVRso in the Dream SMP this weird new red egg appeared out of nowhere, creating red vines and hypnotizing anyone who would spend too much time with the egg. BBH and some others whilst trying to remove the egg spent too much time with it and got lost in the egg’s trance. Skeptics tried reasoning with them, but BBH’s mind was made. So, to see what the group loved so much of the egg, Skeppy blocked himself into the egg with obsidian to spend some time with it. He ended up falling for the trance, and when BBH dug him out he had already changed. BBH finally saw that he was being hypnotized, and realized what Skeppy had warned him of was true. But it was too late for Skeppy. They had a huge argument, but during it, BBH kept hitting Skeppy. He got really close to a pool of lava, and BBH hit Skeppy again he fell in and lost a canon life.

[@pastelwasteland1204]

This is one of my favorite dream smp animatics. Not just cause it focuses on our underrated king skeppy, but because of how its paced and portrays the story of skeppy of wanting to make something with his best friend even if it isn’t as grand as L’Manberg and loving the simplicity of it all until it crumbles. It’s so fun and gives so much character to someone who originally didn’t have much before the egg lore and I love it so much RAHHHH

holy fuck. ok. so i found this animatic two days ago and i can't stop watching it?? like, gods, this is perfect. this is so sad and and absolutely gorgeous and makes me feel a Great Number of Emotions. and the feeling of just, melancholy, is so amazing? at 1:45, even when skeppy's eyes are closed, there's something about his facial expression that perfectly conveys wistfulness. like it's so obvious he's longing after something, even if there were no statue. and at 1:52, his expressions shifts to something so clearly upset and sad in an angry way. the "somewhere in the universe / somewhere someone's got it worse" part hit me right in the FEELS. the quick shots of the other characters and THEIR struggles and trauma and then just, skeppy sacrificing himself?? it's just so self deprecating and sad. and the shoulder scrunch or whatever at 2:25, as the song goes "wish i didn't feel the hurt" -- that's fantastic. this is an animatic but you can just very clearly see skeppy's thought process bc of the art matched up with the lyrics. in conclusion this animatic is beautiful and emotional and so desperately sad and i, someone with next to no knowledge of canon, really wanna cry after watching it. edit: forgot to add this before but also??? the walls of obsidian or whatever they're called slowing getting higher in time to the beat?? and how their movements speed up at the end, also matching the music, and it conveys how frantic the mood feels really well?? perfection. the actual violin is so freaking great too!!! pls i stg i love this SO MUCH

[@peachyxstarz]

- you've also led me to draw humans in a better way! (Heads and such), and I remember when I danced around the house playing this one animatic (and the actual song sometimes) over and over on repeat lmao.

[@im_just_a_girllllll]

Over everything, this is awesome and adorable and the fact that he literally can't play the violin makes it so much cuter

[@neoxsseum]

Oh god I am in love with this. The animation is AMAZING, and also- AJR?! (I almost screamed when I saw the title of this video lol) The way you interpreted the song to fit the story was just * chef kiss* I can't quite describe all the emotions that I got from this, but, brilliant job! :D

[@thebunny78]

This popped up on my recommended I watched and immediately fell in love with it. it's so sad and goes amazingly well with the music. I like how when the music has a faster pace the animation gets more dramatic. You did amazing.

[@MynamePepe-t8x]

Same bro

It's been 11 days since I found this animatic and I keep on coming back, there's something enchanting about it. I hadn't heard the song before this as well and the two are forever linked in my head now. I truly love this animatic and it's so clear there's been put a lot of effort into it!! Especially the ending is so amazing and how everything escalates exactly on the beat is so amazing and the flashback is so heartbreaking

[@gabrielledrake9218]

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ANIMATIONS IVE EVER SEEN IM SPEECHLESS OMG

[@RedFromTeaWars]

im gonna cry…i just love this animatic so much i remember finding it in my recommended ages ago, and it became an *immensely* crucial part of my art journey. i proceeded listened to the song on repeat for like 50 hours straight and watched this video dozens of times, it was great. and it does make me a little sad now because its really nostalgic, but for the most part it still inspires me (as does spoops new work :D) a whole lot, and im so freaking happy i found this all that time ago :D

[@amazingtrixie973]

DUDE- this is AMAZING!!! Not only is this one of my all-time favorite AJR songs, the animation is FLAWLESS, and their emotions are shown perfectly!! Aaaaaahhhh I can’t get over this!!!!

[@Ozloz]

Ijust realized that with how consistent the beat is in this song that it’s just a great base to animate over. I’ve loved this song for so long and didn’t even think about that?!? Idk who I am anymore

[@frost_is_crazy]

This made me emotional :( Its so sweet and happy and everything is so amazing they are meant to be friends :) 0:57 but then what made my heart break is the switch from happy to angry at 2:57 its like everything about happiness was just gone and anger and betrayal took over :(

[@Cocoecake]

WOAH this is brilliant!!! Every panel, every transition, Skeppy's diamond statue scene, the other Dream smp players struggling, the expressions!! AMAZING JOB!

[@mossyc0bblestone]

AYO ACTUAL GOLD why am I so obsessed with the thumbnail and outro card? I’m actually in love with this onus dude!

[@halt655]

I like this animation in particular because it actually it’s drawn very good and isn’t overdoing it and it fits with story well, you can feel all the emotions of every character and they aren’t blank all the time

[@krwlnt]

I love this so much! The emotions and storyline are so perfect )): And the small little details are just so interesting! I love how you made the muffins corrupt, Skeppy doing the same pose in the lyrics "I'll blow up in to smithereens", Bad's cloak turning white, this is an amazing headcannon. This is honestly beautiful! AAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[@neoncamcorder]

commenting to say that ive seen this animatic about five times now, and every time i watch it i am filled with SO many emotions. you did such a wonderful job at capturing the characters and their feelings in this beautiful work of art. i feel so much heartbreak, nostalgia, and longing while watching this. it’s just so fantastic. the frames are so smooth, their faces are wonderfully expressive, the song choice was spot on, and the scenes you added were fantastic! i love this more than words can describe.

[@hyun-jookim3940]

Brain: this is way better than sleeping

[@digon9898]

This is legit the first time I shed a tear in an animatic, the way it paralleled at the end had me!

[@lenathefirst_4574]

I need skeppy to teach me how to play like that his technique is simply so unique

[@c.c.927]

Everyone who’s ever been in orchestra is physically dying at seeing skeppy hold hold that violin 😅 Love the video btw

[@jadedragon1406]

I literally got to the second frame and flipping fell in love with your designs, style, and amazing expressions! Normally I take screenshots of art that I like to use as references to help me learn from other people's art so I can get better at art myself by observing what I think people do well but I think I may have ended up screenshoting just about every frame of this animation haha I think to save space on my phone I'll just have to soave this to a very special KZbin playlist hahaha

[@blaccoreo3110]

2:58 damn You've just earned yourself a new subscriber.

[@joshthenarrowgaugeengine]

Lol he earned another one me

[@charmander_god3693]

Dang that’s awesome. I’ve always see this on my recommendation for multiple months but I just watched it now. That’s really cool

[@Crowrainfall]

this is one of my favorite AJR songs! and i must say the "somewhere in the universe, somewhere someone's got it worse" part where it flashed through other peoples arcs gave me chills- this is very well done! i like how it sped up and got gradually more tense at the end as well- the story made me frown, i feel so bad for skeppy.. but that's how you know an animations good! gotta get em' in the feels

[@whitneysommerfeldt5152]

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS IS PERFECT! The head canon of Skeppy and his violin ✨chef kiss✨ the animation ✨chef kiss✨ the character designs ✨chef kiss✨ the pacing ✨chef kiss✨ I LITERALLY CAN'T GET OVER THIS

[@LotusSunDrop]

Holy %#$& every time I watch this it looks even better than before

[@mellinne]

Ok i just can't bare the fact that i just found this so late It is so incredibly beautiful, the last part gave me chills!! Thank you for giving us this piece of art

[@Tartleturtle]

Skeppy slooowly improved his violin skills through the vid😂 also you tore my heart out

[@n-clenz1077]

what's with the laughing emoji were u laughing?

[@n-clenz1077]

and it's art:/

[@squirmyyish2824]

He always knew how to play the violin, he just played terribly on purpose to annoy Bad But, when Bad got infected he started playing fr to his statue, cause that was kinda how skep coped with losing his best friend By playing his violin to something that resembled/reminded him of Bad

[@sebqstivn]

@@n-clenz1077 delete ur comment rn. The 😂 emoji is bc it’s funny.

[@user-wf7hp9gw9r]

[@effiec2467]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAANGYOU ARE SO GOOD AT THIS OMG LIKE FOR REAL YOU ARE THE BEST ANAMATER I HAVE EVER SEEN BRUH LIKE IMA WATCH THIS FOR A FEW CYA NEXT YEAR MAN

[@Eg0manic]

this is one of the most amazing animatics ever. even if it does sometimes gets lost in all of the others, to me it will always be the best, the most under rated and the one the hits me the hardest.
