Content warning: blood, blood red tears, implied violence Please mind the content warnings before viewing! - Hello, I hope you've all been doing well! Here's an impulse video I started yesterday night ^_^ I drew almost all the assets on some tiny paper in the span of 2 hours and then edited all the frames together. I worked on this project nonstop for about 10 hours and a half and did some of the editing today. Some of the drawings look a bit wonky or were oddly edited together, but I think it has a charm to itself and fits the video's theme! I guess you could say Clover (the big gray cat you can see) is trying to recall the events that led her to her current state, so I think the fuzzy frames further enhance how her memory is playing against her. I hope you like how this looks! This was originally a 24 fps project, but I cannot seem to figure out how to make a proper wiggle effect on Hitfilm Express, so I turned the whole thing into a 6 fps video ^_^ I also translated the lyrics myself, as I wasn't too sure about the translations I found online. Hope this works fine!
