Neoni - DARKSIDE || Animation Meme/AMV

Woo after 3 week of working non-stop. I've finally finished this woo!

I'm not really sure how to put the story together. But it think it's kinda self-explanatory. Basically Riko left the government's borderline programs (and just left the government overall) so ye, basically he join the dark side! Wearing his back hoodie and roaming across the land find the answers (and also his sister) xD I think the concept pf light or dark is kind of depend on how you see the story tbh, there's no absolute right or wrong in here 👀 (To me I felt like Riko was just kinda succ for not controlling of his personal problems and turn it to a big deal haha) That's also why I included the part of the lyric said "there's no hero or villain in this place". I also put a few tini details of lore in each scenes so feel free to tell me if you spot out something!

At first I just want to make a really quick and simple project to the contest for fun (hence why it still follow the meme format), but woah, I think I push myself a little off-limits right there. I kinda experimented with this project a bit too much. Like natural movements, advanced lip-sync, dramatic (and really complex) shading, 3d background. Ye it did turn out to be a pain and drained out 90% of my sanity, but the result worth it I guess, I learned a lot during the making of this

Soooo, this is the 2nd time tackle with backgrounds again, and also the first time I try to put a 2D character in it, and also try render it in Eevee instead of Cycles. I'm kind of proud that I did the background from scratch! (except a few props that I used asset) But ye, I'm really proud that my 3d skill getting a little bit better now who knows what I'll make next 👀

Despite having a lot of visual mistake because I didn't really have much time to double check and re-render everything again, overall, I'm still pretty proud with this project and I'm happy to share will all of you too!

The next couple months will be really busy for me. But I'll try to spare sometimes to make a few simple animation meme who knows!
