everyone is dumb!!! // uprooted

dont you hate it when your world is actively falling apart and everyone won't stop acting like it's normal and fine and nothing to worry about? and it's made even worse by the fact that the one person with the ability to fix it is unreachable? yeah me too

i think of all the stories ive been working on, this is one ive talked about the least. what a great candidate for an animation meme! the universe did NOT want me to post this video but i did it anyways!!!!!! it crashed multiple times, made my computer freeze, and then youtube wouldnt take it. i hate it here lmaoooo (♥ jk i love you youtube pls dont kill me)

animated with: adobe animate
time taken: like 3-4 days? ish?
frames: 1160 at 24fps, though i did speed it up by 125% so it looks faster

watch at 0.75 speed for the intended experience

I love this concept of only one person being able to see the static while everyone else is happy and carefree or, dumb.
Kinda like how everyone pushes off anxious people when they actually have something to say because all their worries came true and something bad is actually happening. But everyone brushes it off as normal because they always act like it.

Love how the character's expressions start out as annoyed/exasperated, then turn panicked/desperate as it becomes clear time is running out to stop what's going to happen.
Edit: I wonder if what’s happening is that the creator of their world is rebooting the story, and even if they survive, they won’t remember anything of their old lives. And what could be more worse (besides death) than losing your memories like that. It’s basically like dying, since you forget who you really are.

0:12 really like sets the amazing realistic emotions of this masterpiece. They seem so shocked to react at first. That moment was so good. I was so amazingly astonished of how real it felt and how great it was. Blackie NEVER disappointed us.

I love the creativity you have to make your animations! I would love to learn to animate like you, I admire you
😽💗

GOOD GRACIOUS BEAN YOU'VE OUTDONE YOURSELF WITH THIS ONE!! All of the smooth movements, subtle expression changes, and conveyed emotion make for one of the best animations I daresay I've ever seen!! 🤌✨

[chaosgremlin]

im already in love with this idea for a story, the characters have so much personality already cant wait to see more of uprooted

[Ava.Crawford]

Daily reminder: You're not useless. You're not a dissapointment. You're not dumb. You're not different.(you are sorry my keyboard acts up differently lol) You're not compared to anyone. Because... You're loved. You're strong. You're smart. You're beautiful inside and out. You're the best version of YOU there ever is. and you're human. I know you're going through a lot of stuff right now but it'll be okay. This life is a long journey. In a journey, there are ups and downs. If you ever go down, it doesn't mean you can't go back up. Rest easy and give yourself a treat :) I love you very very much and I just want you to know that. And when you go back up, you have that space in your heart that can help others back up, as well

Edit: this didn't reach 1k let's reach

I watched this at all different speeds, but 0.25 fascinated me most. This beautiful piece of art not only portrays the story line no matter what speed, I could see how smooth at is at 0.25, most simpler animations are the smoothest I’ve ever seen, and the timing was perfect . The not so smooth animations were purposely so, like the cat shaking his arms up and down. I hope you see this comment, because I want you to realise how well you have done and will do in the future.

[cindymiladyll]

I love that you are varied with your animations, instead of animating a simple and fast dance you try more to give it a mini context that matches the music. I LOVED IT! 💜💜

[lilBeast]

I was very disappointed in this meme before this video. The music is cool, but almost no one has done good animation. Thank you for such a masterpiece, it gives hope for the animation meme community 💕💜💖

[CincTheIdiot]

What I can get from this is:
The spell makes anyone who's affected by it see the world as it should be, instead of it slowly breaking, like what Allia sees.
Also, like always, this is animation is amazing.

[TwigCommenter]

I love the use of the song and visual to represent the main character’s uneasiness and annoyance at the gradually breaking world around them!

[BADLUCKCHARM]

THIS LOOKS SO DOOOPEE!!!! all the different scenes and interactions with characters made me rlly wanna know more about their story <3

[Stormwolf]

I've been loving what this meme has been bringing!

Always have to feel bad for the character who can see/know things that others can't. They want to help, but no one listens. Loved the ending!!

[PastelGhost]

✨ I love how it might mean that this specific character sees the world for how it really is or the negative side of it while the other characters ignore both completely! ✨ I'm most likely wrong though haha 😂😅🌺 Anyway this animation is so adorable!! 💚 I'm gonna mark my place here before 288k subs ! 💚

[cyberneticsanity]

Love how bouncy this animation is, really feel the beat with the characters! Lovely work💖💖

[penpalkik]

in all seriousness, this backstory of the character could actually be an interpretation of the real world. bad things are happening, but no one really does anything about it. other than that though, it’s a great animation and character designs are stellar 😍

[nudemice]

this is mega cute! seeing this actually reminded me of an old story i was writing about bug dragons who lived in a dreamcore/weirdcore world surrounded by a ominous void. This was legendary! These characters are so cute, and I'm still mind blown at your lip-sync skills. I felt a chill run up my spine when Allia was singing "everyone one is dumb". Also, i know not a lot of people bring this up, but the editing and tweening in this was inspiring! I don't think I'll ever stop being your biggest fan!! <3

(idc who says you're their biggest fan, ITS ME! <3)

[redstoneactive]

I know I'm a bit late, so what I have to say has most definitely already been said, but... THIS IS AMAZING, if I dare say, this is some of your best work yet, the animations a fluid, the characters are expressive with each having their own personality, and the ending, absolutely terrifying, props to you Bean.
