Cranberry the Cat | If I Believe You - Mothwing PMV (Cover Version) @cranberrythecat4555 | Uploaded January 2018 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
[EDIT 03/09/24] For additional thoughts on the making of this video plus my personal thoughts about Mothwing as a character, check out my Deviantart upload of the thumbnail artwork here: deviantart.com/cranberrythecat/art/IIBY-Thumbnail-Cover-Version-1029371701
[EDIT: 10/20/22] This video really put me through the five stages of grief, didn't it? Oof, lol.
After much consideration and many requests from viewers, I've decided to make the Mothwing: IIBY PMV's Cover version public again. If it's not clear by now, the worldwide blocking situation devastated me, and at 17 I wasn't really equipped to handle the stress that came with that, so as soon as the original version became available to watch on YouTube again, I privated this video and really pushed The 1975's recording as the definitive version of this project. However, being on hiatus gave me some time to re-consider the kind of relationship I want to have with social media and fandom in general, and I came to appreciate the connection Warriors fans made with this version of IIBY in the process. Daisy Clark's voice really added something special to Mothwing, and I know lots of people agreed, so here it is again!!
I hope fans of my channel will consider both the Cover and the Original as companion pieces to each other, because that's basically what they were anyway before all my meddling and hurt feelings got in the way. And hey!! The fifth anniversary of this PMV is coming up soon anyway, so it seemed like a good time as any to publish this again. Hope ya'll enjoy!
[EDIT: 01/18/18 ] Alright, this is the last time, guys, promise. I had to cut out the entire intro/outro to make this fit to the cover song, and the animation doesn't sync either, but there was nothing I could do about it. :( Nonetheless, for those of you who don't care for the muted version, I hope you like this version. (And at least it has audio!) Thanks for everything, and I'll be back with other videos soon!
[EDIT: ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION]
*in Mushu’s voice* I LIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!! Am I cool enough to join MAPs yet?
Making this PMV has been a journey. All 18 months of it. That’s right, this took me a year and a half to complete. (Note to self: never do that again.) Just kidding! I’ll definitely have more big projects like this in the future! Just…not for a good long while. I’ve felt pretty terrible about my lack of activity on YouTube, and working on (and off) this video has been a pretty big part of that. Therefore, I plan to work on a lot of smaller projects, which equals more uploads for you guys! (Hopefully. Don’t quote me on that.) In the near future, you can expect to see speedpaints, personal art, smaller animations, storyboards and animatics, edits, and hey(!) maybe even some MAP parts! :) I hope you guys will stick with me until then! And here’s a big shoutout to the 1,521 subscribers who’ve stuck with me this long, lol. You guys are awesome! Until next time!
Programs Used: Photoshop CC with a Wacom tablet and After Effects
Time taken: a year and half with some breaks in-between
Song Used: If I Believe You by The 1975, Cover by Daisy Clark
