Star | Senior Graduate Film | Class of 2024 @mansa1212

mansa1212 Mansa chases a star that leads them to their best friend, Jasper, faced with the truth that he is dead and finding closure in the memories they shared. (Read below to see more about this project)
--
For the last 4 months, I have been tirelessly working on my Senior Project. A semester-long class that is held to have graduating senior students work on a large-scale project(s) that pertains to their majors. My major is BFA video and animation!

Unfortunately, I also took four other classes including another project class in order to graduate this semester, so my time was very limited. I pushed myself hard to complete this project, though I wish I had more time to clean up the lineart and coloring. In order to get this done in time I had to sacrifice the rough sketch animation process. I worked on my script, treatment, storyboard and then ran straight into lineart. Producing a fully finished project like this in less than four months is no easy feat, solo even no less.
--
I have been wanting to make something like this for a long time, to honor my late best friend, Jasper. Who sadly took his own life at the age of 16 years old in 2016. Leaving me with a goodbye card and an apology, as I was the one person he cared about most in this world. I read the card and called his phone, spamming him with messages, only for his little brother to pick up the phone crying and broke the news. With one last text his brother leaves "I'm sorry, he's dead." I never did get to say sorry, but I know he knows I'm sorry and he's sorry. I thought it was just a friendship scrap, but maybe it was the last straw in his life. He lived a heavy and dark life. We were just kids, that fight was our last, I don't even remember what it was about, probably something meaningless and miscommunications. I faced many years of sadness, grief, and healing.

I will forever have a hole in my heart where he once stood, that hole will heal but it doesn't ever go away. You can't replace someone, they're one of a kind. Even now, 8 years later he still means a lot to me. However, my memories of him slip little by little and I hate it. I forget how he sounds, even in my dreams he no longer has a voice. I forget the feeling of seeing him laugh and smile, his hugs were the best I miss it and the way he would always make silly nicknames. Nothing ever lasts forever not even your memories. So hold on to it, even for a little.

The line that broke me the most in his letter was:
"I'm sorry I can't be by your side with you anymore, I know you loved me, but it's time for you to pass that love onto others now. I still love you."

For a long time, I drew him every year as a way for me to cope, he gave me his personas/ocs before passing on and I still see them as his. I stopped drawing him for a few years because I felt like it became unhealthy, but then once I got better and healed more. I started drawing him again.
I will keep his legacy alive. I miss drawing our characters alongside each other for fun and not for a memoir...

I wanted to share something special and how I felt with the world. I hope he's resting well regardless because he deserves all the peace in the world. This world was more than cruel to him and he was so strong, I miss him every day. If you're struggling please don't be afraid to reach out for help, there will always be someone out there for you, even if you feel alone in a crowd.
--
As of the time of upload, (the day it's due April 30th) I have not yet completed this semester. This project is due a week before finals week so we'd have time to give every student a chance to present their final work in our three-hour class. I graduate May 11th! I will have to go on to complete the rest of my projects now.
(hi if you're reading from the future!)

Thank you so much for your support and patience with me this year so far. It's been one frustrating, exhausting, and overwhelming semester and that chapter is coming to an end soon. I look forward to graduating with my friends and just getting on with life out of school. As well as, finally have time to make more of what I want and how I like it haha.

Me and my friends got senioritis fr fr, I have been in higher ed for six years now, let me ouuuuut!

Take care

Wonder if he'll break it this season.

Where have you been? | Martyn and Grian Animation

mansa1212 2023-09-10 | I think about the fact that canonically c! Martyn and Grian haven't seen each other since Evo. This is a non-canon convo, I was going to add more but got bored LMAO. Why are Grian's wings white? I have a headcanon that he starts out in a world with white wings and over time color comes in when adapting to environments or his emotions. So this would be set sometimes in the start of 3rd life. If you want to make any fanfics or anything about this, feel free!

I finally figured out the 2D camera in Clip Studio Paint.

The Watchers must hate Jimmy | Canary Curse (Life Series)

mansa1212 2023-08-27 | Full video: youtube.com/watch?v=VxHaUgmXDS4

Shout Baby | Windwaker PMV | Legend of Zelda

mansa1212 2023-08-14 | Hi, I made this in 3 days, I have so much nostalgia for Windwaker, Twilight Princess, and Ocarina of Time! I always wanted to play around with this art style, it's iconic! I always think about the fact that he was not born with the mark of the Triforce's chosen, but he earned it by his actions. A kid who was dragged into destiny at a time when the previous hero (OoT) vanished and never returned. The world was bathed in darkness by Ganon, but the king, and gods believed they sealed him away in The Great Sea with Hyrule. Also, this Link is just a KID man, the youngest of all the Links I think. Anyways, I can ramble on for hours about how much I like LoZ. I love the Hero of the Winds so much he's so expressive and silly!

I didn't want to tackle another big project after the 5-month long project I just released haha, thank you for your support as always!

Song used: youtu.be/cKJTf3xsTsE

Also a little life update: Don't know if I'll have time to work on another project since I'm headed back for my senior year of university towards the end of this month, hopefully I won't be too burnt out/exhausted this year (Animation/Film major)

mansa1212 2023-08-11 | Like & Subscribe if you enjoyed it! :DD
After 5 months of work, (started mid April) I am so proud of it!
Every frame is digitally painted (I sure do feel insane after that)
This is my largest life series project to date so far, thank you so much for all your support and motivation I almost gave up after losing the storyboards the first time around.

Feel free to interpret the non-canon scenes however you want!
This video is based on the Canary Curse
Also, feel free to redraw any frames if you want to, tag me on socials I would love to see it!
(I did the closed captions myself so it should be correct!)

I'm freeee

A Conversation | Kingdom Hearts Animatic

mansa1212 2023-07-27 | KH3 was released 4 years ago and 4 years later, I still really wish we got more dialogue between Ventus and Roxas/Vanitas in Kingdom Hearts 3. I know the characters had no time between being brought back and the impending doom. Vanitas just ended up perishing with little to say. Lea explained why there are two people who looked like Roxas off-camera, man.
(I'm aware that Roxas and Ventus had a mini-convo in DLC)

Closure | OC Animation | Scared Forest

mansa1212 2023-07-26 | It was supposed to be longer, but sadly I lost motivation towards the rest, coloring animation can be a long process and it can get frustrating sometimes. I wanted to move onto other projects and this being unfinished in the back of my mind bothered me. I finished it, I still am proud how this came out, still trying to get better at animation!

Laybn, a shadow entity of Nybal created by Rastor to help his plans of destroying the forest for the powerful crystals below. Rastor manipulates and harms Nybal for years. He ends up trying to remove Nybal from the picture entirely and Labyn who is a shadow entity connected to Nybal stops him. Telling him if he goes I do too, but Rastor tells Laybn he's done his job and no longer cares for him, he was used.

Say it.

mansa1212 2023-06-11 | 7 years ago my best friend passed away, I never properly got to say goodbye to him. We got into a little fight the day he passed too, so I also never got to say sorry, but also he apologized in his final letter to me. I miss him so much every year. I carry his legacy as I keep living for the both of us.
