saint bernard || malevolent animatic/pmv

crazy how both of my animatics are for malevolent
this time i tried to add some movement to the frames! i actually enjoyed learning how to edit, save the part when the video wouldn't export properly and my laptop died

!! spoilers up to episode 20 !!

the characters are from malevolent, a horror podcast, and they belong to harlan guthrie!

song: saint bernard — lincoln

p.s. special thanks to my friend sima, who doesn't know these guys at all, but supported (and soothed) me all the way! fanduo forever
hello malya, prosha & lera!

[roastingghosts]

Good god I love noodle John so much, he’s such a wonderful mix of alien but also really charming and that really contrasts the more menacing design of the yellow king. ALSO THAT LITTLE FUCKING CHEEK CARESS

[emilygorman]

Aww, I love this John design. He’s like a little worm :)

[thescreamingharp]

oarthur would you still love me if i was a worm


THIS IS SO GOOD I CANT

[silentlyfreakingout]

I love the gold instead of black keys so much. Same with Kayne and the blood. Exquisite.

[harleypowell]

Kayne!! Love your design for him. He’s so sodden with blood I remembered the horror I had first hearing him in show! Thanks for making and posting this animatic!

[hagfishes]

ASDFGHJKLKJGGHG the cheek touch?? the way john’s hand moves up to shield arthur from the king??? the ART STYLE?! I can’t stop watching this omg

[EvieStardust_Animations]

AUDHAJWKJD OH MY GOD! ALL THE DESIGNS LIKE WHATTT-the king especially he looks so imposing! I also really love how John circles Arthur it’s great :]

[samanthadiaz]

i'm sobbing
you just stabbed me, the brilliant art work the song choice and how the lines match

"make me love myself so that i might love you" and it's arthur looking at john and john caressing Arthur's face

"when i said it i thought it was true" to (possibly) John throwing Faroe's death in Arthur's face during the argument

"neither of us will be missed" with john and arthur in the frame

i can't type more because of the tears but ill come back

[JuniperTheiler-Stroud-fs]

oh my goodness oh my god this animatic is making me feel things
things such as pain

[JuniperTheiler-Stroud-fs]

brace yourself
WHEJFIHDHWKWOFHDNEOEJ
I LOVE THIS SO SO SO MUCH
I MUST ANALYSE
ok now that's over with here's what i think
0:06 Starting off strong, hitting me right in my heart with Faroe's music box. Setting the tone for the piece right off the bat
0:10 This song was an amazing choice both for the symbolism and the fact that it has such a strong beat that makes the frames hit really hard, especially here
0:15 The lyrics fit so well!
0:20 Oh it's little child Arthur :(
0:21 Loving the gold and yellow keys, tonally this animatic hits really nicely
0:26 This sequence makes me very sad /pos
I love the imagery of his loved ones slipping away :(
0:36 Poor Arthur :( you capture his decrepit emotional state very very well
0:52 THE CHEEK TOUCH OMG OMG I love this moment so much
0:59 Arthur's face and body language is amazing here
1:05 Oh no oh dear (hooray) it's Kayne. I adore your design of him. Actually I love all of your designs. Love the use of a red, that man is positively drenched in blood.
1:20 My notes just say ":(" here? I suppose it must be :(
1:26 OH MY GOSH THIS IS SO COOL your KiY really is terrifying. Poor Arthur looks so very tiny. More red is a lovely touch
1:32 Oh John :(
1:36 I don't think I'm up to this yet. A dagger?!
1:40 WAIT WHAT ARTHUR NO- love the framing here even if I don't know what the hell is going on

Thank you for blessing us with this delicious animatic!!!

[EvieJohnson-sb]

I just started listening to Malevolent and I can't wait to come back to this amazing animation with context!! Wish me luck!!

[huskyspot]

OMG THIS IS
JUST
YOUR DESIGNS FOR ARTHUR AND JOHN AND KAYBE AND THE KING ARE PERFECT
THE SYMBOLISM AND THE WAY YOU TIE THE LYRICS IN WITH THE THE IMAGES AND BONE
OMG
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS

[Rexmin_TwoOThree]

[thepineapplegal]

The ex Catholic in me is LOVING THIS. Omg

[seineevee]

It just hit me where I recognize your artstyle from; you made some incredible Hermitcraft / Life Series art!!

[azulunatic]

I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH because your animatics have singlehandedly made me start listening to malevolent again (I abandoned it in s1 several months ago for some ungodly reason). on s5 now and Severely obsessed, all thanks to you <33

your kayne btw!!! I love the yellow smudges

[turtledragon]

I don't know anything about this podcast but I've watched your first animatic many many times since it appeared on my home page because I'm in love with your art style so I got super excited to see another animatic from you and it is just as beautiful as I'd hoped the first one already convinced me to go listen to malevolent (and also epic) but now I am double convinced haha thank you for sharing your art

[LivieLightyear]

Hol up.... Hol up I need a HOLD

Another AMAZING animatic that I will watch a thousand times. You're amazing, this is so good. I can't get over the expressions you capture for John and that is a truly terrifying KIY

[SeerOfTime]

Oh, your art is gorgeous. I especially love the way you draw hair. And KAYNE!! AHHH. This is so, so good.

[YourLocalFandomFriend]

You did so well, I didn't even need audio the first time to know exactly what part of the song was where. This fandom is still relatively small, comparatively, but it's people like you who are helping it grow with masterpieces like this. I'm sending this to all of my friends. I love it so much♡♡
