Dream Bandits Proof of Concept Footage

Hey guys!

Sorry I haven't been posting much, but here is a Proof of Concept video for a thing I've been trying to develop. This idea is set in the early 1990s, the footage is really just to show the specific aesthetics and tone for it.

Music is Madonna - Like a Prayer
Voices by Tiffany Benicke, Sean Gilvary and myself.

I didn’t realize it only took 90 seconds to desperately want 7 seasons and a movie.

[averagekirbyenjoyer]

Shoot if I was told this came out in 1990, I'd believe it

[Lnc__lt]

when you see someones "proof of concept" and immediately think: this looks better than most of the stuff on TV or in movies today

[DominickvdHoff]

Dude this looks amazing. I feel nostalgic for something that doesn't even exist! Love the retro 90's serial style!

[dogardoogin]

I love how your animation is your own style. It's not direct mimicry of classical disney or Anime its a combination of all the things you probably grew up with and care about. I wish more artists were like this and didnt just heavily mimic everyone elses art style. We'd have so much more variety in animation and art. Your animations are just so much fun to look at.

[DavidMeslin]

The thing you do so well is portray the expressions and poses of people who care deeply about whatever they're doing.

A nostalgic look, I'd love to see this as a series. Amazing Job Toniko <3

[FurlowT]

This has potential. Would love to see a proper pilot made for it.

[dragonthefirelord]

The art style reminds me of Don Bluth's a little

[ChewTheWires]

you actually made my heart pang a little bit when " like a prayer" came on, the slight ache that only comes from lost youth, but for a moment i was ten again. you didnt make a trailer. you made a time machine for the soul. stunning work man.

The moment the music kicked in in earnest gave me chills. This has me so excited.

[TheTalkedSpy]

When a proof of concept made three years ago gets you more hyped than 90% of animation nowadays. If you're still working on this by any chance, I look forward to see what you got in store!

[Spectrums]

Love the homage to Nausicaa at 0:54! I'd like to see a full series of this or at least a pilot! Beautiful work!

[Mnstr]

Love the art style! Reminded me of "Rock & Rule" movie. Hope people would pay attention to it. If "Final Space" manage to do it, there is a chance for other animators.

[SaintLesbian]

ngl bro this the coolest shit ive ever seen


praying to god this becomes a whole finished movie because damn this trailer gave me chills its so good

[Mr.Faoustay]

This is my favorite YouTube video..seriously. I hope this becomes fully fledged one day.

[mcurran]

I would love to see this if it came out as a film.

[PrincessAmber]

I was practically tearing up watching this, absolutely beautiful. I hope this becomes a thing!!! The animation and colors are excellent and the music gave me chills, definitely feels like something out of the <3

[LJLvids]

this is one of the best things i've see in a good long while animation and aesthetic-wise
