- And I’m back. I started working on another Bare animatic, but that might take a while (in the mean time you can check out my last two bare a pop opera animatics) so enjoy this remake of an old animation of mine.
Yellow SUV was the second video I ever posted to TH-cam, and the first animation. Obviously I've come a long way in the two years since then so I figured I’d redo it. I really like how it came out, though I could be happier with the ending. I want to redo my the mad ones animatic, but it takes me a lot longer to make animatics than it used to, so a full 7 minute video may not be possible right now.
WOW this version just perfectly captures the monologue. I love love love that one transition where the phone falls and the time changes it literally had me on the FLOOR
Thank you! The phone part was one of the ideas I kept from my original, but I wanted to execute it better since the first time around I made it a bit too fast for the moment to actually have an impact. I’m glad you liked it :)
This animation is perfect. Really portrayed what I imagined!
I love the duality of "Yellow SUV" and "My Mom is a Satistician"
The numbers are the same, but the details and the answers differ
From car, to yellow SUV. Driver to Football player
And "The answer, obviously, is yes. In 2 seconds. Physics is easy. Just plug the numbers into the equation."
To "Yes... but only if she hears him coming. Only if she slows down just enough... to look up. I know that."
This musical uses repition in such a powerful way to push the story and build the most possible pain and emotion. It has so many funny moments, but for a lot of those songs they're so sad underneath. But "Yellow SUV" and "My mom is a statistician" is my favorite after the duality of "The Mad Ones" and "Go Tonight" (Or other repitition moments of the party. The way initially, it isn't real. Just another math problem. But then it happens to Kelly. Suddenly, the math problem is so much more.
My favorite line of this song, however, is "What I didn't know is time doesn't stop. Prom still has a theme. The valedvictorian still gives a speech on a future she knows nothing about. The truth is I don't remember any of it. Not one slow dance... or test. Not one single day of that Spring." Because I know exactly what she means, because I have a very similar experience.
My friend passed just before senior year, three years ago. I didn't get to say goodbye. I didn't see it coming. And I don't remember the past few years very well.
I hope time starts to slow back down again how it was before she died. I hope I can feel like me. I want to remember college, but I feel like I won't since I'm still trapped. This musical is about the only thing that really helps. Same with driving. I know what it's like to lose my best friend your senior year. And this musical portrays the feelings, pain, and experience so accurately.
I sat staring at my phone for a few minutes just wondering how to respond to this comment, so I’ll just start with thank you. Thank you for your insight into the meaning of this song and for sharing your personal connection to it with me and everyone who reads this comment. I’m so glad my animation could live up to your expectations for this song. I couldn’t agree more with your take on Yellow SUV. The callback to “My Mom is a Statistician“ is a heartbreaking and shocking full circle moment. Repetition and motif is a hugely important part of the mad ones, it really shows the spiral of thought, regret and grief Sam is stuck in on a way that makes the audience feel like their in her head.
I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s so easy to get swept up in a story and forget that this is a real thing people experience. I’m glad that in the case of the mad ones, it’s a story handled with such care by the people who wrote it. I hope this musical can continue to be a comfort for you. I wish the best for you and hope that your life can slow to a pace you’re comfortable with once again.
This is why you don't look at your phone while driving.
I genuinely can’t remember the show implies that the driver was driving distracted, or if I just made that up for the animation
O o F, well I'm going off of this so-
This is AMAZING!!! I love this musical so much and this captured it so well! Can't wait to see more art from you!
Thanks :)
This was great! I liked the sequence where everything started going backwards and Kelly sees the car coming towards her.
So this is what Bowling for Soup meant when they sang "her yellow suv is now the enemy"
Just came from your other video with this audio and oh my GOD the improvement!!
Thank you so much! I’m surprised people are still watching the old one lol. I had no idea what I was doing
Your animation is so underrated
the improvement is insane! so expressive and lively
Thank you so much :)
