I adore the colour contrasts, scenes, and designs. The clips of Dream hiding in the water and Techno and Carl running are 🤌

[suitable]

I love how you did this a little more dramatic than it's supposed to be. Everyone was literally sorta smiling when the alarm played, techno was literally arguing with Phil about taking ages to read the book and there is Dream.

HMMMM The blend of "We gotta go! We gotta go! We gotta go! We gotta go!" combined with Sam frantically throwing levers going "I know, I know, I know, I know!" god, it just all blended together really well. You're getting so good at this!

[KeganLeavess]

The transition of the shots flow so well together, alongside the colors! Also you added Tommy reacting to the sirens, which makes me very happy

[bumblebeeproductions]

The fact I knew that people would use this song for animatics makes me feel quite special


Also this looks poggers

[jessy]

The dream design and his expressions!! Everything about this is amazing!

[shinitagari]

this is so cool! you can literally feel quackity and sam’s panic, and the sheer franticity (idk if that’s a word) of everyone on screen, between techno and carl racing to the coordinates of the blueprints to dream hiding in the water and quackity rushing sam while goes “i know over and over” ughhh this is so goodddd

[Cloudeire]

IT GOES SO PERFECTLY WITH THE TRANSITIONS AND JUST EVERYTHING LIKE *FRENCH KISS*

[kodplex]

"Running out of time-" Tommy thinks Dream is escaping and he needs to get to safety and protect Tubbo

"We gotta go- I know-" Quackity is panicking Sam at the loss of his control, and Sam is being pushed to his limits

"Running out of time-" Dream thinks it's only a matter of time before Quackity finds and kills him

"Turn up the tempo-" Techno is finally free and sick of waiting, setting off for revenge

[DBansheeM]

GOD THIS FITS SO PERFECTLY
And the quackity and Sam scene with the "we gotta go we gotta go we gotta go" "I know I know I know I KNOW" IS SO FUCKING COOL
TOMMY REACTING TO THE SIRENS IS SUCH AN AMAZING DETAIL TOO
Dream hiding in the water and techno on Carl was also obvioucly great touches
It's 15 seconds of pure overwhelming *PERFECTION*

[bunnybutvods]

ive watched this like 39 times it’s just perfect, tommys reaction, quackity ushering sam and sam goin ikik aaaa plus dream hiding and techno run in it’s just oh so perfect

[toxic]

The song fits so well with the lore your art is so amazing

Edit: I just noticed you drew dream in the tunnel hole

[Rapid_Idea]

For real though, this feels like one of those aggressive "everything is going to shit and we all gotta deal with it" cinematic shots in musical movies.

We start with the unwitting victim (Tommy) who has been traumatized and is terrified of what might be going on. He doesn't know, he just knows that it can't be good.
Then the frantic problem solvers (Quackity and Sam) who have both initiated the issue and need to find a solution NOW. They're panicked and rushing and arguing because damnit, it wasn't supposed to go like this.
And our resigned centerpiece (Dream) of which so much revolves around. He's hiding in a spot that he's guaranteed to be found in, and he knows it. Just look at the way his eye flicks to the side. He's just waiting for when it happens because right now isn't the problem. Later is.
Finally, we have the fury that will bring the issue eventually to its resolution (Techno). If you didn't see him escape, you'd never know he'd been in the prison, but there is a fierce determination in his eyes. He has what he needs. Hes going to finish his goal, conclude the issue his way, and you won't stop him.

All of these separate entities come together creating a visual dialog that just scream "TELL ME MORE" and yet without knowing anything, you have all of the information right there. A victim, a duo, a centerpiece, and a resolver.

Honestly, this could be one of those short but soooo intriguing movie trailers. There's just so much going on in 15 seconds and it all is done so fluidly and so well.

Edit: holy fuck, 1k likes and the creator noticed me!?!! HOLY FUCK!!

[Nanabbi_]

I was just wondering last week if people would use Vivo songs for DSMP animatics... This makes me so happy and THE ACTION AND MOVEMENT ARE AMAZING!!! Omg, I love your work so much. ❣❣❣

[szelda]

YO YOUR ART IS SO BEAUTIFUL WTH
I also love the fact that the "we gotta go - I know" fit so perfectly with what happened in the stream :']

[livvy]

Seeing Dream curled up in fear hiding will never fail to make me sad. Save him TechNo!

[fudgepudge]

*I just realised that this goes much quicker when you don’t replay ever 2 seconds*





*WHY IS THIS ANIMATION SO GOOD- SERIOUSLY*

[somerandombeing]

Sam and Q r perfect for their part, dream in the pit is mere seconds but its such an atmospheric shot, and oh techno and carl. Oh they r so epic. You are speed, artist person i bow down to you!!

[Spectralyzed]

Honestly, making such short animatics is a brilliant strategy... Everyone just repeats it over and over, because they can't get enough of it.

Everyone is me... I'm repeating it over and over because I can't get enough of it...

[rolleyarts]

I’ve already watched this 20 times in a row and it only gets better and better

Edit:
Still playing this on loop, not sure if it’s healthy


Edit Edit:
I made a playlist titled “Animations I watch on Loop” just for this animation

I don’t think I’m okay XD
