METEOR SHOWER AMV - ☾☀︎

WE ARE SO VERY PROUD THAT THIS VIDEO IS OUT FOR YOU ALL TO ENJOY!!

Meteor Showers is a project that me and Lost have been working on since last December, and all the way till march. It was, im sure, the largest project that both of us have ever tackled. And truth be told, I wasn’t truly convinced that we could finish it. But despite school and life we did and i couldn’t have been prouder.

It was truely an experience to create something like this and in the progress I discovered many things about me and my work process as well. How much can i get done in this amount of time? How much work is too much work? Maybe i need to switch up my work processes. Im sure I can speak for Lost on that count as well as well, who had the ‘pleasure’ of learning After Effects. I guess what im trying to say is this this project means a lot to us and im grateful to have been invited to collaborate with Lost and work on it.

This wasn’t meant to be this sappy emotional talk lmao, so you know, uhhh don’t worry about that haha

You can find both of us, (Lost and Chip) in the public subscription list, along with Ellikon who composed the trailer remix for Meteor Showers. (If you haven’t checked that out yet, please do, the music is gorgeous)

Having said that I hope you enjoy your stay!

THE WAY AFTER THE ECLIPSE THEY SWAP EYE I CAN'T OMG

[LeoparDusk]

Sun’s eyes are blue and Moon’s eyes are yellow! They complete each other!!

[toaster]

The fact that Moonwolf’s color faded the first time Suncat drifted away, but then the second time they didn’t :(

[ratskullz_x]

I love the sun and moon dynamic and that if they embrace (literally in this case) their differences they can relate their similarities. The sun is the one who has everything good expected of them (at the cost of themselves) and the moon is the one who has nothing good expected of them (and is usually only seen as a shadow of others), yet both can be underappreciated and taken for granted no matter how hard they try. Sweet animatic which definitely made me tear up, and this is the way I interpreted it.

I just saw the eclipse today so when the totality came into view, all I could think about how these two hugged each other the moment they met up again 🥺🥺

[curlyfeatherdoodles]

I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS???? I NEED TO RANT

Holy smokes- okay okay so firstly I love how both suncat and moonwolf have their own struggles with the other animals they interact with! Moonwolf's being more lonely in that all the animals they would be friends with are asleep, save for the owl, who leaves them once they approach. Then there's suncat, who has animals flocking to them for their rays of light and warmth, but who ultimately leave them when they aren’t able to shine for them anymore- like the day animals believe that the suncat outshone their usefulness. Then the pair meet each other for the first time, and the shared expression of "you're like me!" brought me to tears. Finding their kindred spirits only to have them torn away by the distance was so heartbreaking to watch- and made their reunion during the eclipse that much more rewarding!! That moment during the eclipse where they were FINALLY able to hug was therapeutic. I was rooting for them so hard!!! Then when they separated again afterwards, it was still sad yes, but more bittersweet as they knew they would see each other again. I have to bring up their designs- I ADORED how they became more complex and shared traits of their counterpart after the eclipse. It was like watching them become fuller and richer people! Even during their time apart, they will now be forever changed by the experience of knowing the other. I can already tell this is a video I am going to come back to again and again. The individual styles of both artists shone through beautifully and harmoniously and I am SO THANKFUL this popped up on my recommended! You both are so skilled! STUNNING work all around!

[REALIditXC]

Oml, thinking about the fact that have to wait like 4 months just to see each other, and 20 YEARS just to hold each other.
Edit: ok ok. I realized I didn't read enough and yes, they hold each other every 1-3 years. Mb mb. (THATS STILL WAY TOO LONG :(

[junctiondraws]

OH YM GOD OH MY GOD THEIR WYES CHANGED COLORS THROWS UP AND CRIES ALL OVER THE FLOOR

[Mooonshie]

The fact the actual eclipse is coming in 2 more days.
the next one is coming 44 years later. This right here just makes it more special.
Lovely, and beautiful Amv. Time and dedication you took to make this. Was worth it. ❤❤❤

[dewplayz]

IM NOW OFFICIALLY MAD AT THE UNIVERSE. IF THESE TWO ARENT REAL THEN THERES NO POINT OF AN ECLIPSE💥💥💥

[sherlockphobic.]

THEIR EYES AFTR THE 😭😭😭😭 AASUEG THIS IS SO CUTE U GUYS DID SUCH AN AMAZINF JOB ON THIS

[chipfries_]

While were all waiting, hows everyones day going? :3

[MyrtleInk]

The solar eclipse reference is so amazing - I love this so much omg - it’s so adorable and made me cry omg

[thepurplebow]

SOBBING THEY SWAP EYE COLOURS THEYRE ALWAYS WITH EACH OTHER HSGDHVSGHS

[Tef_Padma]

Gosh I watch this so many times every day and it never fails to take my breath away. I love how after they hugged, their designs changed 😭

[jellyfish]

I love that after they formed the solar eclipse, the moon’s eyes were yellow and the sun’s eyes were blue, leaving something to remember each other by . Btw I can’t remember how many times I’ve watched this, this is GORGEOUS ❤

[SaltWater]

That was beautiful. I never seen someone portray the sun and moon like that.

[fleffychickendog]

5 months since this dropped and I still come back to it its just so beautiful yall absolutely COOKED 😭💖💕

[RottingSunflower]

Okay so I need to go on a tangent about this so pls humor me.

I’m gonna call the moonwolf lunar and catsun being solar

I’m gonna start with their dynamic!!
So Solar. used and “loved” by everyone. Lunar, sort of the weird kid. Known by everyone, but avoided. Solar wants to have a friendship that’s actually reciprocated affection. Lunar wants to be acknowledged by someone in a positive way. They both fit together so well because lunar wants to show affection and solar wants to be shown affection. Sort of yin and yang. Cat and dog (literally)

Little details I noticed as an animator:
Lunars color palette is much cooler when they’re alone
After the eclipse they both get little face marks and their eye colors switch, showing how they sort of compliment eachother
Solars line work is more wavy and fluid, imitating heat waves in a way.
Lunars line work is much more solid and clean flowing, to imitate the sharpness of cold or something philosophical like that.
Idk if this is intentional but both lunar and solar seem sort of stylized differently, like chip animated one and icey did the other
The line work clips into itself a lot, along with the colors. I personally find this charming. It shows how this was made by humans and wasnt polished to perfection, it was polished as much as the creators wanted it to be polished and that’s just enough.
THE CHARACTER DESIGN. It’s extremely simple in concept but the execution makes the characters so damn unique.
Oh my lord the backgrounds would be hell for me.
The fluidity but also consistent stylization of the lineart is beautiful.

Okay I think that’s all, might go draw fanart now.
