Digital Silence | Ashfur AMV

(Posting description for those who want to read it)

I heard this song a bunch on tiktok and this part in particular kinda resonated with me and my ashfur obssession. I'm glad the comments really caught on with my choice to add Brindleface's death as an extra reason for him to hate Squirrelflight as well as possess Bramblestar. I know that in the books he only mentions his mothers passing as an attempt to get rationalize Squirrelflights suspicion of Hawkfrost and pin the suspicion on Brambleclaw as well. Afterwards in the fire scene he makes it abundantly clear that he doesn't have a quarrel with Brambleclaw, but i feel like in his delusions he should. He is the son, the spitting image of his mom's killer, and the one who 'took the love of his life' from him.

The shots I chose, being black for most of it was kinda an aesthetic purpose. I like the idea that in the first few shots, Ashfur thinks nothing of the flames that's surrounding him, its just an empty void where he can focus on Squirrelflight. When the flames come, I feel like then it switches to Squirrelflights perspective, where she sees this crazed individual who's really trying to have a conversation while in the middle of a burning forest. (I'm super proud with how the flames behind ashfur looks. It looks choppy and artistic and came out way better than I thought it would)

I'm VERY inconsistent with my styles for the characters, as you can see in my other videos, I don't have a character bible, which I should probably make to avoid any future confusion. The only consistent character is Ashfur and Brambleclaw (Ashfur's eyebrows change colors a lot, but Im sticking with the cream color. He was also originally supposed to be a very saturated light blue, but I really enjoy the muted slate gray and magenta pupils).

this has early 2000s wc fandom energy infused into it in the BEST possible way good god its so fun and dynamic, definitely loop material

[backup-vnje]

0:16 i love how you included brindleface's death... it kinda added another layer to ashfur's anger and jealousy; i never thought of how ashfur might feel towards brambleclaw since bramble's dad killed ash's mom
btw I adore your style and designs <3

[Foodonwalls]

THE LIP SYNC IS SO CLEAN AND I LOVE THE ARTSTYLE

[smoocheese]

God I love the sneaky little smile Ash/Bramblestar gives the camera. So much character in a little bit. Love the parallels he draws between Tigerstar and Bramblestar too. Such a beautiful video and fits quite well to the song (*´▽`)ﾉ

[leopardshaark]

You are CRIMINALLY underrated. Your style is so unique and the timing of this entire video is just perfect, it doesn't stick on a scene too long and it really allows you to enjoy the art. You seriously need more recognition because this is BEAUTIFUL.

Keep up the AMAZING work!!🧡

Oh wow i literally just realised something! Ashfurs mother was Brindleface who was killed by Tigerstar, who only murdered her in order for the dogs to help him destroy thunderclan. Then after spending so much time with Squirrelflight, whom he loves so much, who does she run to? Tigerstars son! The cat who murdered his mother's son is the cat Squirrelflight dumped Ashfur for. I never even considered this! (Though both I'd them still suck)

This is an incredible and underrated piece of animation and I adore the lipsync! Where the hell are your subscribers?

[Leavye]

This is the first time i've seen someone mention how his mom Brindleface was killed by Tigerstar!! I LOVE THIS AURGHHH

[April_Animates_Stuff]

OH MY GOSH THIS IS INCREDIBLE! I've never seen anyone bring up Brindleface's death in an AMV, and the art style is absolutely epic!!

[Chirpzy]

You're SUPER underrated!! I love this SO much!! you did an amazing job!! I also just love how you included brambleclaw being compared to tigerstar, I feel like its a concept that isnt explored enough (thru ashfurs side of the story w his mother) and it gives ashfur more of a reason to be upset and wary of him than he was in the books! ^^

[wygolvillage]

Ok I'm kind of obsessed with the description. You have made Ashfur even more like, psychologically fascinating

[buggy.mp]

oh my god im so glad someone else had this idea, i only had the drive to animate the first bit, this looks awesome!

[plasticfrk]

This has to easily be my favorite Ashfur AMV, every character is drawn so uniquely, and the expressions are perfect. You really captured Ashfurs emotions, the smirks are just 🤌✨✨✨

[theaveragecomment]

Woah!? The way you brought up Ashfur’s mum too- it adds a whole new layer to it I’d not thought about

[iprobablycantread]

I never thought about one of the reasons why Ashfur disliked Bramble was because Tiger killed Brindleface. 🤯

[me-sgog]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! i never thought about ashfur disliking bramble because tigerstar killed his mother, thats so clever! my favourite shot was the one at 0:32
good job!

[Nightsong_wcue]

0:18 made me realise why Ashfur may hate Bramblestar/claw…


Tigerstar killed Ashfur’s mother and Brambleclaw is almost identical to Tigerstar, and now Brambleclaw is Squirrelflight’s mate..

[Not_Fish]

Everything from the designs and the art style are amazing! I love how you draw their eyes, they look cunning on ash fur specifically. +1sub

[stranger]

Wow this is amazing! The *_OG_* Ashfur from _Shadowclan_ is underrated!

[mommyclaws]

Ohh the expressions are really good and transitions between tigerstar-> brambleclaw to Ashfur-> possesing Bramblestar was really cool.
