Did you like the green screen? It’s new.

[andrewgreenwood]

Its pretty refreshing seeing a character like sparkle whos mortality is completely unaligned with most people. Its so rare to see a character who actually just doesn't care about how others feel

[idontspeakjapanese]

The Joker and Harley's long lost daugther who was found by the cosmic clown God

[howl]

the story in the trailer is amazing too, the is white mask and red mask playing rusian roulette. the red took 4 blanks in a row seemingly taking all the risks while "acting clueless" while the white is the "pretending to be smart" that only dare to take the first shot. that's why when right before the trippy part that white was trying to take the gun back, realizing she will lose with the last shot.

"And this music represents danger."

Sir, I think that's the gun.

[Steele]

I liked your question "Who is Sparkle?" at the beginning because I think the whole point of Sparkle is that nobody knows who she is, not even herself.

[mannakallat]

This trailer and music single handedly make me go from "I might pull her, might not" to "I need her yesterday"

[ryuukoi]

The part where you wanted to e6 Sparkle out of spite for twitter left me dead laughing, tysm

[Yilue]

5:29 Her face... That little grin and that stare... I feel it deep inside the dark corners my soul...

[luxali]

Sparkle is a great character because we (or some, at least) hate her.
Sparkle, as a character, is made to be hated, to make us think "damn she's mad, she's a freak" and that's great! We need more characters like this.
Not pulling but definitely a great character

EVERYONE ONBOARD THE SPARKLE TRAIN!!! 🎀
As always, superb analysis Marco!!

[Koutouhara]

Also want to point out the masks - you have a white, red, and split mask throughout the trailer. White is more of the 'real' Sparkle, while the red mask is Aha - Elation themselves - tempting Sparkle.
Sparkle becomes the Emanator of Aha, the mask becomes split, where she's accepted becoming one with their path, to become a Masked Fool. Very good story telling!

Fun fact: Apparently this trailer is specifically also a reference tribute to one of imo best video animation producer for rhytm game music: optie animation.
When the transaction sparkle shooting helself to those weird mv, people notice some scene similarities from optie’s video: marenol and yuan (ka). [you can search the similarities, its a viral thing].
when they compare them side by side afraid its going to be HI3 scenario (i believe) a trailer from a character almost have the same scene and reported them to quickly remake the whole trailer)
Then they ask the creator for this, the song creator, leaF said they dont have anything to do with the sparkle trailer. But they fine with it and wanted hovorse to do more (what a giga chad)

Interestingly the maker of this mv said in blibli themselves and donate money for them as a tribute too (also based).

It would be interesting to see your reaction to the original reference video of sparkle monodrama trailer and your interpretation of it because the video is very interesting but kinda dark and gloomy
Song and title:
LeaF - Marenol
LeaF - Ka

Anyways thank you

[xyrenity]

"That's a bullet"
is such an amazing first line into the video

[Orwulf]

i am so obsessed with this trailer. the music, the visuals, the voice it's just so creepy and hypnotic and I've replayed it SO many times lol. I also went through both this and her first trailer with a fine tooth comb analyzing the many different masks shown haha

[StranglerSix]

The fact that you figured Sparkle out at the very beginning of the piece means it was mindfully and thoughtfully composed 👏

[WildspeakerYT]

I liked the edition of the video where you blurry the background (and keep it stoped in time) to focus on the talk of those last moments

[twalker]

2:28 Persona 3
3:52 The Dark Knight
5:31 A Clockwork Orange

[Saltisnacl]

0:59 the word you are looking for is "psychopathic"

[amplesstratleholm]

I've been waiting for you to do this since her trailer released. Unpredictable characters really spice stories up. Hearing Sparkle laugh in all languages is quite the experience.

Her Myriad Celestia teaser video is also incredible musically, and I think you should give it a go. Hoyo really nailed both of them visually and musically.

Love the green screen by the way.
