Man when this came out 6 years ago 10 year old be thought it was the coolest thing on the planet. I obsessed over the art and the story. Although im sad to see this abandoned i just want to say thank you for making something that inspired me to start animating! I wouldn't be where i am today if it weren't for this video.
I love coming back to this a lot cos this is actually the song that got me into OMAM, and honestly, couldnt be more grateful. I get chills everytime i hear this song and the story youve created for this makes it even better
i've always imagined this song as: *prepare for long story. looooong story.* (all da characters are dragons, ice, earth and fire dragons) So the ice dragons lived in the coldest part of the world, they were best friends with the earth dragons, but too far away from the fire dragons (who live in volcanoes). there was a family of ice dragons, the son of the mother and father had an earth dragon friend. one day the earth dragon went traveling, he witnessed a war between all the dragons (the icedragon family wasn't envolved in the battle). the earth dragon originally wanted to run away, but was blocked by ice dragon warriors, and was told that they were needed in the war. the earth dragon agreed. the fire dragons wanted the earth to themselves, and the icelands to be gone and be fields of ash (fire dragons eat ash in my perspective) the ice dragons needed help to defend their lands, they called upon the earth dragons to help protect them (the two kinds of dragon were good friends so the earth agreed) originnaly, the earth dragons fell away to the fire dragons reach but the ice dragons encouraged them to be strong and not give up. most fire dragons were frozen, the ice was so cold from the ice dragons emotion that the coldness killed the forest. the earth dragon traveller had had enough of the fire dragons. the ice and earth dragons rose up against the fire dragons, and killed their king (the strongest of the fire dragons). the end. aLSO THIS PMV WAS VERY GOOD I LOV IT
Actually the story has already been solved OMAM has another song little talks dirty paws is the beast at the end and you can see the birds flying. in one shot you can see little black dots imiting smoke those are the retreating bee's, great story though.
AHHHHH i got excited chills cause i remember seeing this and absolutely LOVING this when i was little several years ago!! IM SO GLAD THIS CAME BACM IN MY RECOMMEND!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!
dude I was listening to little talks, then I saw this song in the reccomended and was reminded of this animation wthhh, this a very nostalgic and disorienting trip
I love how you made the story go along with the song and each lyric told it's own story it was all in all a beautiful peace of art keep up the good work
Anyone here to revisit their old animation obsessed years? It's June of 2021 for me, I'm sure the next few years are going to be an even worse hell than c0v1d has made it, but I'm sure we'll still hold out 😔
Hey, I know how old this animation is but I want to say this song is still one of my favorites and the art here inspired a LOT with how I draw animals now, so sincerely if you’re reading this? Thank you. I now use this song for my werewolf oc and constantly get reminded of this animation.
the dragonfly's name is 4 and other animal with the collar on is apparently 6, interesting and btw...I LOVE YOUR ART AND ANIMATIONS AND I LOVE THIS ANIMATION!!! I ALSO LOVE YOUR SONG CHOICE!!!
I have to say that this video (Both the concept and the art) are wonderful! I was just going to put this on to listen to the music as a background noise since I do that from time to time but I saw the art and became curious. The style of the animals is breath taking! The humans have a unique feel to them and the colour pallets bring life and depth into the story. I hope that one day I will be able to see more of the story and play the RPG!
I love this song, and its amazing to see someone work on a project for it! I have a story I want I to do like this with the song, but it would be a year or two, because I need a computer, drawing + animation programs and a drawing tablet. XD
SOO amazing!! (Some) animations these days are just gory and bloody. But this was sooo beautiful and well made! Good choice of song, good choice of characters, setting, and neatly done that fitted the song perfectly. Dang this was definitely worth while to watch.
+Alex Dominik Well since nobody that I can see has explained what a PMV is to you, I will. A PMV can stand for two things, a picture music video, or a pony music video. A picture music video is when an animator has drawn up a series of still pictures that tell a story, which is then set to the music said animator has chosen for the story they want to tell. While the majority of PMVs in this regard have the lyrics to the featured song in the video, others do not. A pony music video, on the other hand, is made by people who are fans of My Little Pony. A pony music video is made when fans animate or put clips of the show in a video set to music, which may or may not be created by others in the fandom. Some use OCs while others use canon characters of My Little Pony. I hope that this has cleared up some confusion for you.
+Emma Laitur I have never heard of these but after your explanation I have become a fan. Thank you for taking the time to explain this to me, Emma, I greatly appreciate It :)
I've watched this a million times trying to figure out the meaning of the story. I've read many perspectives of it and I've got they were saying but I got confused part way through the video. Hearing a clear meaning of this video would be amazing.
I belive this is one of the first animation maps/animatics I watched and it is one of the main animations that brought me into the animation community. Whenever I hear this song I think of this exact animation and I thank you for that. Wild to think it was 7 years ago.
Oh my gosh finally! I've literally been looking for months for an animation for this song, and I just happened to stumble upon this! *Sniffles* ~This is the best day of my life~
I like this not only for the unique art and charecter desighns, as well as music, but also because it provided me with reassurance that I am not the only one who makes a bunch af OC's and has big, interwoven stories with them. The problem is, I don't know how to share the stories...
The obvious idea would be to write a comic, if drawings not your thing or you're not comfortable putting your art out there I'm sure you can find somewhere to share writing. Either way go for it.
I simply love this song. i never hear it anymore, since it's 2018 and all people wanna listen to is charlie puth and marshmello. it feels so good to know people still like this song and know it exists.
I found this two years ago, I have now found it again and I'm getting memories of when life was easier, when it was better, now I'm crying and wishing nothing changed, but I know that change is better than everything being the same constantly. Please don't reply saying so what and crap like that, those who will obviously don't give a crap about anyone but themselves and don't love anyone and never have and never will.
You know when you change the entire storyline of your OC just to fit the storyline of the song .............................................I just experienced that XD
Dang I'm still watching this. I never really understood the story, but the song and art was so beautiful I kept on replying this songs for like 2 hours. (Just watching this makes me wish there was a comic or something...) I wish this story could have been continued, but eh, it's fine. I don't know if anyone will even read this comment but, Shenkkazoo, if you ever read this, lemme just tell you you are so inspiring! :D
I know how you feel. I had a story I was going to make a series out of, but it was just far too flawed. Every fix lead to another problem and I couldn't do it without restarting the whole thing from scratch, which wasn't easy because so many people supported it. But in the end, I took elements of the original idea and made them into a new series, one I was careful to close the holes on. I've been working on this new series for the past two years trying to straighten out the world and the plot to make it as complete as possible. I'm excited for this new project, of which I hope to get a pilot out this year, but I still wish I could have continued with my original idea had it not had too many plot holes and inconsistencies
Man when this came out 6 years ago 10 year old be thought it was the coolest thing on the planet. I obsessed over the art and the story.

throwback to when i was like 8 and found AMVs. oh god was that the time. i miss those days.
i've always imagined this song as: *prepare for long story. looooong story.* (all da characters are dragons, ice, earth and fire dragons) So the ice dragons lived in the coldest part of the world, they were best friends with the earth dragons, but too far away from the fire dragons (who live in volcanoes). there was a family of ice dragons, the son of the mother and father had an earth dragon friend. one day the earth dragon went traveling, he witnessed a war between all the dragons (the icedragon family wasn't envolved in the battle). the earth dragon originally wanted to run away, but was blocked by ice dragon warriors, and was told that they were needed in the war. the earth dragon agreed. the fire dragons wanted the earth to themselves, and the icelands to be gone and be fields of ash (fire dragons eat ash in my perspective) the ice dragons needed help to defend their lands, they called upon the earth dragons to help protect them (the two kinds of dragon were good friends so the earth agreed) originnaly, the earth dragons fell away to the fire dragons reach but the ice dragons encouraged them to be strong and not give up. most fire dragons were frozen, the ice was so cold from the ice dragons emotion that the coldness killed the forest. the earth dragon traveller had had enough of the fire dragons. the ice and earth dragons rose up against the fire dragons, and killed their king (the strongest of the fire dragons). the end.

Oh my gosh.. I remember seeing this 2 years ago! This brings so many memories of when I was first watching animations!

I love how you made the story go along with the song and each lyric told it's own story it was all in all a beautiful peace of art keep up the good work
this is incredible! you shouldn't criticize your own work like that. its perfect.
I was just starting to listen to Of Monsters and Men again and then someone put a link to this in the comments of Dirty Paws and *oml it's beautiful*
Anyone here to revisit their old animation obsessed years? It's June of 2021 for me, I'm sure the next few years are going to be an even worse hell than c0v1d has made it, but I'm sure we'll still hold out 😔
Omg this gets stuck in my head 24/7 because I look at it 1000000 times a day ^-^
Hey, I know how old this animation is but I want to say this song is still one of my favorites and the art here inspired a LOT with how I draw animals now, so sincerely if you’re reading this?

***** Well Shibe, I am un-aware of what a PMV if so If you'd be so kind as to explain, I would appreciate it.

perfect. its the imagery the song needed.
Me:*sees Title*
Me:*CLICKS IT SO FAST CAUSE THAT IS THE SONG FROM HER FAVE BAND*
I've watched this a million times trying to figure out the meaning of the story. I've read many perspectives of it and I've got they were saying but I got confused part way through the video. Hearing a clear meaning of this video would be amazing.
story of my life, mind, and soul
Wow this really reminds me of one on my old OC stories
I belive this is one of the first animation maps/animatics I watched and it is one of the main animations that brought me into the animation community. Whenever I hear this song I think of this exact animation and I thank you for that. Wild to think it was 7 years ago.
Overrated:No Talent
Underrated:Talent
Funny. I have been working on an animated series called Up or Down and it surprisingly looks sorta like this!!!
I swear its almost exact! Other than the animals it would we close it same!
Best song EVAH!
AAAAAA IM SO GLAD SOMEONE DID SOMETHING WITH THIS SONG OMG I WISH I FOUND THIS SOONER THIS IS GORGEOUS
Beautifully done :3
I remember I showed this to my fifth grade class in 2017
This song caught to my head
This was beautifully done. I'm not even familiar with the characters and this gave me chills. I love this.
Oh my gosh finally! I've literally been looking for months for an animation for this song, and I just happened to stumble upon this! *Sniffles* ~This is the best day of my life~
Thought this was monster hunter whoops
I like this not only for the unique art and charecter desighns, as well as music, but also because it provided me with reassurance that I am not the only one who makes a bunch af OC's and has big, interwoven stories with them. The problem is, I don't know how to share the stories...

I've seen this over 10 times
Ah yes yes. I remember when this was just a few months old. Ah, nostalgia much?
my mom LOVE this music! she wants i make a animation with this music, but its hard.. i will show this video for her! :3
This deserves more views
I found this two years ago, I have now found it again and I'm getting memories of when life was easier, when it was better, now I'm crying and wishing nothing changed, but I know that change is better than everything being the same constantly.

This is beautiful! Subscribing now! Can't wait to see where this story goes! :)
God I haven’t seen this in years and it just popped back up on my recommended, was a nice trip down memory lane
Theres something about these 2010s animations that makes me feel old and flooded with nostalgia when I stumble across it again 8 years later 😭
Loved it.
This is LOVELY OMG SO NICE
GREAT JOB!
I keep coming back to this-
💀 I wasn't kidding
Oh my god- I REMEMBER WATCHING THIS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, it inspired me to start drawing oh my godddddd yes
This is my favorite song.
Now it's my favorit animation! Thank you for that miracle, Shenkkazoo!
