Two Warframe GMV’s I Made When I Was 14
updated
Sort of a sequel to youtu.be/eqtBfiMQETw
I discovered this edgy slam poetry of a song a couple days ago because it’s suddenly everywhere on Instagram. I got curious, looked up some animatics, and the inspiration machine did its work. I managed to completely tell the story of my character, Chrysanthen, through this song, and it is kind of awesome. I originally didn’t think I was ever gonna finish it in any form, but it turned out so well that I had to at least refine it a bit. It’s still a bit of a mess though… please do not take this video as a reflection of my artistic ability LOL
I’m on the fence about whether or not I wanna explain what happens in the video or leave it up to speculation, so I may update this description eventually with that info.

Also, I want to officially make game-related content a main part of my channel. It already kind of was and I felt guilty about it, but guilty I will be no more! I've been having a hard time finding my passion for making PMVs and animations memes and stuff for a while now, so I think making and/or showcasing little games on this channel is a good way to supplement any lulls in that kind of content. It's something I will always love doing anyway so there's no point in trying to fight it.

Sorry to upload another archival video again. Finishing up my novel has got me swamped in the art department so I don’t have the time and energy for animation at the moment. Hopefully it makes for decent filler in the meantime.

Did you know that it is obscenely difficult to make a top-down pixel art game in Dreams? Yeah, the playable character did just not wanna have a hit box for some reason. I had to improvise and it feels janky as heck. Hands down the most frustrating experience I've had working in Dreams.
I played a little dumb with the intention to show off some things, but I kind of wish I didn't because in retrospect it kind of makes me and the game look bad AAAAAA

Happy to announce my first full Dreams game will be coming out sometime this month! It's so exciting to finally make a bigger project in Dreams. Be sure to keep an eye out for it! If you don't have Dreams, I'll also be uploading a full playthrough on my channel after the release.
I also want to apologize to my Arbiters fans (and guest composer) for never finishing the series. I really hope to do so someday, but episode 5 really burnt me out bad, and a combination of lack of motivation and heavy self-doubt have been preventing me from bouncing back. It was a cool series to work on though and a great experiment too. Thank you to everyone who checked it out and supported it. Included in this description is a Q&A about to series!
DISCLAIMER: Audio is at mildly inconsistent volumes throughout. I wanted to work in iMovie to fix the volumes but it is actually the most worthless editing software ever. It wouldn’t let me import more than 30 seconds of the beginning of an audio clip. I had to go with good ol’ Flipaclip for this one… yup… I don't know what I'm doing.

Q&A:
Q - Which of the Arbiters is your favorite?
A - I think I’m gonna have to say the lawyer Arbiter (a.k.a the main one), since he’s the first I created. The one with heart in the first episode comes close though.
Q - Did the series have any specific inspirations?
A - My main inspiration was the Youtube series called Boisvert. Definitely recommend checking it out. The story itself was inspired by my feelings at the time since I was going through a rough patch with my mental health. The series definitely helped me process my emotions, and I feel a lot better several months later.
Q - Which episode did you enjoy making the most?
A - First episode without a doubt. It was so cool to just make an animated short with these funky little bone monsters I doodled one day. Animating stuff like that was something I had never done before, and there was a lot of challenges to overcome considering I was animating with Flipaclip.
Q - Did you learn anything while making the series?
A - I sort of learned how to make music! I also learned how to do rotational tweening in Flipaclip.
Q - Is there any additional lore that isn’t shown in the videos?
A - The Arbiters all have names! Of course, I can’t list them all here, but the lawyer’s name is Iudex, the judge’s name is Lex, the stickman’s name is Imago, and the weird teeth in episode 4’s name is the Carnifex. The last one was actually going to be mentioned in episode 6, unlike the rest of the Arbiter’s names which would remain hidden lore.
Q - Favorite song in the OST?
A - Definitely ‘Identity’

For the first time in a long time, I made a GMV :D I used to love making GMVs when I was 14, and Sonic Frontiers got me inspired so 5 years later I decided to revisit that hobby and make a new one.
Sorry the editing isn't as fancy as it could be. I forgot how limiting the PS4's editing software was with its 50 clip limit. I also put a lot of time into gathering the clips. I had to play the game over again right after completing it the first time and I was just... burnt out AAAAA I'm glad I had the foresight to get the clips from the ending on my first playthrough because I did not see the third island through to the end on my second. Safe to say this probably took maybe 7-8 hours to make. It was worth it though. I'm glad I could pay tribute to both this awesome game and my old hobby all in one package.

I knew from the moment I completed Omori that I had to make a video with it someday. That game made me feel feelings that I needed to get out of my head. It is officially the only game to make me cry for two hours straight at midnight a week after I completed my first playthrough. Honestly, if you haven't played this game and this video made you interested, then you should do it. It's a content-packed and unforgettable experience with amazing visuals and a beautiful story. It resonated with me to my core and it might do the same for you too. Just heed the game's content warning, of course.
Important note: While this video features plenty of original art, there are many parts that were referenced or even heavily referenced from art in Omori in order to achieve an accurate look. I don't know if this disclaimer is necessary or not, but it felt disingenuous not to mention it, especially since people who have never played the game could come across this video and believe I came up with all the composition and posing myself.

I’ve been wanting to make this video ever since I played Deltarune chapter 2 and now that I finally have my hands on a good pixel art software I can access conveniently, there was nothing holding me back. I’m so sorry, I know the “get the banana” joke was overplayed. The idea was just too good.

This was made as showcase for some creepy character designs I made. Everything here, including the music and sounds, was created by me. It was all done in under 24 hours. I don’t know if this is actually scary, but I do enjoy making horror-based stuff so hopefully it’s cool at the very least.

“Jealous” by Eyedress (youtu.be/zY-5hnbOLg8)
Original meme (youtu.be/i5NGXFduA-4)
I made this storyboard on a whim a few days ago and already decided I didn’t want to finish it. I didn’t really consider what I wanted to go for in terms of style and animation, and I sort of cornered myself into making a slide show with music. Not exactly super “animation” meme-y. I know I can do better so I’ll likely try again someday.
Second video: 1:00
“The Mind Electric” by Miracle Musical (youtu.be/0vfZjdK8Ktw)
Ahaha so um I heard this song in full for the first time and thought it was the coolest thing ever and had so many ideas for a dark and cryptic pmv, but when I finished it and stepped back I realized it was a bit too dark and cryptic. Like, to the point where I think it’s probably really pretentious. This is definitely another video I wanna take a second shot at somewhere down the line.
Third video: 3:56
“Ghost” by Magdalena Bay (youtu.be/yW4bLVu5VQM)
I might actually finish this one someday, I’m just waiting to find inspiration again. At the time I made this, Ghost was my absolute favorite song and I really wanted to do an epic PMV/AMV to it with Metal Soul’s sequel. I quite liked how it was turning out, though over time I got burnt out and the quality started to suffer so I decided it was best to put it on hold.
Fourth video: 6:31
“Neon Medusa” by The Midnight (youtu.be/cdtJyQOAkxs)
Regrettably, the first MAP part I ever had to drop, and for the worst reason too. I really psyched myself out and put too much pressure on myself and it was really ruining my motivation for art as a whole which is… uh… not a good thing LOL. I’ll probably never forgive myself for it, but hey, I guess I can at least promote the MAP call (youtu.be/IfUkj9gk3zU)
Oddly enough, I actually didn’t intend for this video to come out right after my Dog Nightmare AMV. I just knew I wanted to upload it after whatever my next MV was and said MV just so happened to contain the game’s namesake. That’s pretty cool I guess… or really cheesy. Take your pick.

I was extreeeemely hesitant to make this video because either nobody knows the story or anyone who does would probably find this really “cringe”. I wanna make it clear that I’m fully aware of what I’m doing and I just wanted to get this silly idea out of my head.
Anyway, since this is rather unknown I should specify that these are not my characters. These characters come directly from Ark: Survival Evolved. Their designs are based off the illustrations in the explorer notes (didn’t wanna use the show’s designs because not all the characters here have them yet, also I wasn't about to draw Santiago like Vin Diesel). The backgrounds are also screenshots taken from the game. I didn’t draw them…… though I wish I could.

Since the visual storytelling here is really vague, I’ll give an explanation. Big spoilers for the story of Metal Soul and it’s sequel though I don’t know how much of it I’m going to keep: Aurin, the goat sheep human man, befriended this human girl named One. She was one of Aurin’s only friends but she understandably turned her back on him when he started doing some pretty bad stuff. Things start to especially escalate after Aurin murders the king in his kingdom. In Aurin and One’s final battle, Aurin uses his powers to rip out her soul. However, One is saved by a friend who also shatters the case in Aurin’s torso where his own soul is kept, killing him. Almost a year later, Aurin’s body and soul is stolen and put back together by a rival kingdom. Being that this is the second time Aurin has had his artificially soul reattached to his body, he starts to deteriorate badly, emitting a black liquid usually only present when a soul has been completely removed from a body. Realizing he doesn’t have much time left, he wants to make things right with One. In doing so, he ends up killing someone who made her life miserable in order to make her happy. She has some mixed feelings about it though. There’s a lot of details I’m leavingout but that’s mostly what’s shown in the PMV.
