The Water's Fine | Full WoF Fathom Sketch Animatic
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 มิ.ย. 2024
- So I have had this animatic in my mind for several months and have been working on it on-and-off since around late February. I have never made an animatic of this length before, nor have I made an animatic so focused on storytelling, so this was a massive learning curve for me. There was a lot of growth between each scene and I think that shows! A lot of details are missing and things are inconsistent at many points (please don't point out the missing wings in the sequence with Albatross and Indigo, that was intentional), but it gets the story across and I've been considering turning it into a full AMV in the future, so it's something I'll improve upon if I do so. Possibly making it an AMV is also why there are red notes left in the animatic, it's a WIP piece!
Anyway I am really proud of this, I love Fathom's story and it means a lot to me to have been able to make this for it :)

god you're able to build a sense of tension when the two are running away and trying to hide so well
Thank you, that's one of the parts I'm most proud of!
Not joking when I say this is the best animation about Fathom’s story I have ever seen in the fandom. I’ve never seen so much detail and care put into the battles alongside the calm, and the fact that it conveys so much despite just being sketches is incredible. I am in awe. Please never stop.
Thanks!! I don't plan on stopping ^^
I agree! THIS WAS AWESOME! And I have always wondered what it would look like animated. Best Fathom/Albertross video I have ever seen, and if more come out, I'd doubt it would best this Masterpiece.
the EXPRESSIONS??? the scenes and choreography??? DAMN IM SPEECHLESS
Ty!!!
Love how much emotion is convayed in just the way the characters look at events, so much dedication. The part when Albatross finds them under the boat genuinely gave me chills.
Very happy to see that the boat scene was especially impactful :D
Something small I love about DS Legends, is that Indigo was almost spared. She didn't have to go to the party, but Fathom invited her. And that might have saved him. Fathom was trying to lead his mother Manta away from Albatross, Indigo was the one to convince him to hide. I'm glad you remembered that.
I reread that section of Darkstalker a couple times to make sure I got details right, but I did remember that from the start! It's such a good detail that perfectly captures the two characters' personalities, Indigo being more logical and knowing to run immediately while Fathom is trying to hope that things will be alright, frozen in place.
I love how Albatross’s snout kinda looks like an albatross beak also 1:22 fathoms expression is so silly I love it
The silliest expression :)
This was incredible! Makes me want read the book again! The expressions on the characters are so greatly exaggerated. Really gives them personality and a realistic feel as well, like their really feeling the emotions portrayed. Albatrosses snout looking like and albatross beak is also such a great detail!
Albatross's snout looking like a beak wasn't even an intentional detail! I love that you pointed that out :D
oh my god??? oh my god. this is amazing! the flow of movement is so clear (especially in the indigo/albatross fight scene) and the expressions are so good, some of fathom’s are genuinely heart-wrenching. i particularly love when albatross lifts the boat that the duo are hiding under; the darkness shifting to pure white plus the timing of the music swell is just so well done, gave me chills! awesome animatic, the bits of smoother animation are so incredible and if you do turn this into a full AMV i would absolutely love to see it! great job, congrats on all the hard work!!!
I'm very proud yet surprised with how the movement with Albatross and Indigo was done, was pretty difficult to figure out. And I'm happy to hear that the boat lift was a favorite part, I really like it too. Tysm!! :D
oh my goodness the angles/perspective and the movement that flows so well to the music, is just awesome!!!!!!
Ty! I love making movement sync to the music whenever possible
THIS IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE PRETTIEST ANIMATICS IVE EVER SEEN OH MY STARS?!?!? ILL NEVER GET OVER THAT BOAT REVEAL AND THE CHOREOGRAPH OF THIS ENTIRE THING ITS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS HAHNTHGNFNBGH I LOVE IT
THE BOAT REVEAL >>>
TYSM, YOUR ART AND STORYBOARDING IS SICK AS WELL 💜
THIS IS SO UNDERRATED, WHAT?????!!!! ITS SO GOOD. I was super invested even though I knew what would happen. This is honestly the best wof animation i've ever seen. The expressions, camera angles, the suspense you created?! I think that someone with even a basic concept of wof could watch this and understand it perfectly. This is talent.
Clear and understandable storytelling was one of my main goals so this means a lot, thank you 💜
Incredible work (CHILLS I SAY, CHILLS), I'm very excited to see it finally completed.
Hopefully it does get completed :)
I’m so excited for this to get more views because I just know people will realize what a masterpiece this is!!
Thank you, happy to hear you're excited for more people to see it 💜
This is incredible! I love every bit of this! And I especially love the detail that both Albatross and Queen Lagoon have narrow, pointed snouts.
Yep! I wanted to make them look like siblings so similar face shapes was my first idea :)
My god the expressions are so good! Great work Amphi!
Ty, I'm very proud of the expressions!
IKR ITS GREAT
I like that you include indigo almost dying but being saved by fathoms magic, i feel like. a lot of ppl forget that scene
I really don't see it much in animations regarding the Seawing Massacre, or it's not given enough weight that I remember it. That part stuck with me when I read the book, so I figured it's good to give it the same amount of weight that it had on me :)
everyone else has already said the exact same but YOOOOOO THIS IS SO WELL DONE I'm blown away, at first I was like "ah, just an animatic, would look better if it was fully detailed/finished" nope nope that doesn't matter the expressions and camera angles and pacing are all incredible, showing this to all my friends :DDDD
Happy you gave the animatic a chance! I feel like animatics are a great way to focus on storytelling rather than spend too much time on the animation quality, so expressions and camera angles and things to enhance the story get a bit more attention when I do them! Thank you for sharing this with others, much appreciated :D
It's so beautiful I actually ended up crying from the emotion of the movement and song.
Truly a beautiful masterpiece can't wait to see it all refined in detail.
That means a lot to hear, thank you 💜
BRO WHAT THIS IS SO GOOD?!?!?! 10K RIGHT NOW IM NOT ASKING THIS IS AN ORDER, IT DESERVES 10K+ VIEWS MAN
WOAH THANK YOU
Ahhh you included the detail of the seagull getting strangled by the vines at the beginning!!! I always found that so cool and disturbing in the book, I’m glad to see it carried over :)
THE CINEMATOGRAPHY IN THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! All of your angles and shots are so dynamic I love it
AAAAA thank you, I tried to pay a lot of attention to how the angles would affect the emotion of each shot
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! soooo criminally underrated
Ty!! 💜
HILY SHIT THIS IS SO GOOD IM GOING BONKERS. the pacing and composition and smoothness of the way the animatic flows is just WONDERFUL
THANK YOU!!
i am SO HAPPY someone finally showed the queens death correctly!!! her getting her throat slashed and falling in the fountain was SYMBOLIC of the fountain she gloated and i am so happy to see it done!!!
this animation is amazing. i will def be sending it to friends of mine to show off how cool this is!!
Queen Lagoon falling into that fountain was one of the parts of the Seawing Massacre that really stuck with me, so I had to include it. It's just really impactful, even if a small detail. Thank you for sharing it :D
I LOVE FATHOM!!!🥹 THIS IS SOoO0oo GOOD!
I love Fathom too!!!
I was quoting the book from memory in each house scene omg I realized that I KNEW what was going to happen
Hard trying to find the best words to describe this cause oh my god this video is fantastic!!! the choreography and limited animation compliment each other so well, really beautiful video even as an animatic! such a good song too oh man, just really wonderful stuff
Aaaa thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!
The fact that you chose a 5 minute long song and didnt give up halfway through is impressive- All that animation and expressions and poses are GORGEOUS! I especially love the one where Fathom is shouting the spears to kill his grandfather, it looks so epic and dramatic. You definitely have an amazing talent- dont give up and never stop making beautiful masterpieces. You got an amazing gift!
New sub! I was too speechless to not subscribe
5-minute song don't matter if it's a good song :) (I actually did stop working on it multiple times, but always came back to it)
The pose where Fathom is shouting at the spears to kill his grandfather is probably the frame I put the most effort into. It wouldn't have the same effect without all the facial details added to it.
And thank you, I don't plan on stopping 💜
I just started rereading Darkstalker's book again this week and the way you followed what was written was amazing. The movement and emotion of everyone was so perfect. Great work
I actually did go back and look at the book a bunch of times to get references for the events within the animatic. Sticking to canon (with a couple liberties) was my intention!
Thank you very much :D
oohh this is so incredible, the way the characters move and emote is eye candy
Thanks :D
HOLY!! OMG, your ability and talent to make this masterpiece!! This is exactly how I pictured the scenes from the books! you captured these so well!!
Ty :D glad to see I wasn't the only one who pictured the scenes exactly like this
OH MY GOODNESS!! the way you portray emotions is INCREDIBLE! This legitimately brought me to tears! the tension! the movement! i- i dont know what to say!
I don't know what to say either, thank you so much 💜 💜
OMG the music goes so well with this, especially the lyrics and themes, because THREE MOONS the water is NOT fine, lol. This deserves so much more attention than it’s got and I hope more people view this amazing animation! Please never stop ❤
This song I think is the most fitting song for Fathom that I've ever heard, and yeah the water is not fine LOL. I feel like even that line works because it shows how Fathom thought things were going to be okay, even when they weren't. It's just overall an amazing song as well.
And ty,, I don't plan on stopping 💜
Can’t put into words how excited I’d be to see this as a full amv
I get that, yeah :D hopefully one day it will be!
Absolutely perfection, from the story to the backround, and the character design, the emotions and expressions of the eyes… EVERYTHING. Is perfection. Well done 👍
Thank you! :D
this is hands down my personal favorite depiction of this event in the books that i have ever seen!! this is incredible, thank you so much for sharing :D it deserves thousands of likes!!
Glad you enjoyed it, happy to share :D
Ooooooooohhhhhh Increíble work. It’s actually incredibly rare that I get chills, like it’s been over a year but wow, gotem. Stunning. Excellent choice of music, incredibly smooth animation with very intentional movements. The base of the song echoing the dread of each of albatross’s footsteps, just impeccable work. You perfectly match where the music swells, qnd the animation completely supports style of music. Centering around the dread and the suspense.
I absolutely love matching the animation to the music whenever I can, happy that goal was accomplished! This song really does compliment Fathom's story :)
Wow, incredible choreography at the end there! Loved the song choice and pacing. Felt exactly like how I saw it when I read it :)
The Family Crest songs don't miss 🔥 this song in particular connected with Fathom so well, this was how I always imagined it too :)
This was amazing!! The fight at the end was storyboarded/animated so well and I love how sinister Albatross is throughout it !
Albatross's sinister presence was part of my goal to get across, thanks! :D
This is absolutely amazing, it perfectly captures the book. (Also, now I know 3 songs with this title)
Didn't know there were so multiple songs with this title :0
@@amphiolet One is from a game soundtrack and the other is very similar.
That was AMAZING
loved seeing all the WIPs you posted too :3
Sharing the WIPs was really fun, ty
Dude, this is amazing! I love everyone’s designs, especially Albatross’s. Your animation skills are beyond amazing- and the expressions are so well done!!!!
Glad to hear you like Albatross's design, even if uncolored! :D
10/10! Keep it up, I'd love to see more of your animations!
I hope to post at least slightly more often, so hopefully you're able to 💜
This is actually so sick sjbsjs i love the way your draw dragons and the animation is :chefskiss: def gonna have to share this around 🔥 🔥 🔥
Tysm, the sharing is appreciated :D
THE- WHAT???
This is CRAZY amazing like I can't explain.
The animation itself- the actions and perspectives
you actually breathed life into the story! Seriously you did amazing dude.
Thank you so much! I tried to give the animatic as much life/emotion as possible, to mirror the emotion in the book itself :D
OH MY GOD THAT IS SO GOOD--- I wasn't crying when I was reading the book, but watching THIS animatic I almost did, this is absolutely fire. Very well done! Im glad i watched it
I'm really happy it hit as hard as it did emotionally and that you're glad you watched it, I appreciate it :D
This is amazing! Im speechless! I loved the music and the animations merged together seamlessly! The dynamic poses too, eye catching to say the least. Amazing work dear! ❤❤❤
Tysm :D
This is amazing! I'm glad you had the very last part be Fathom healing Indigo, instead of leaving it off on the more sad note of Fathom killing Albatross. If you do decide to fo the whole thing, and color and finish it, I'll be sure to watch that too!
For sure, Fathom healing Indigo was one of the most impactful moments when I first read the book! The fight scene was insane but the story didn't really feel complete without adding it. It's more of a conclusion to the event than Albatross's death.
@@amphiolet for real! I also almost cried at the end of the novel 😭
This is like the fourth time I’ve watched this this week. I keep coming back, it’s so good!!!
Happy to hear it's a repeat watch :D
OUUHHH THE ACTION IN THE INDIGO VS ALBATROSS FIGHT IS SO FANTASTIC!! YOURE SO BADASS AUGH
THANK YOU SO MUCH AGH 💜
DUDE, this was absolutely incredible!!! I'd love to see this as a completed animation someday, I'm absolutely floored by the quality of the second half specifically. Absolutely amazing!
That means a LOT, especially coming from a really skilled animator like yourself :D tysm!!
Omg nice work, it's so well made, i will love to see when become finished
Ty!!
HOLY CRAP I LOVE THIS!! Your style, the storyboard, EVERYTHING IN THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!!
TY!!!
@@amphiolet Np!! I really hope to see this as a full AMV!!
ONE OF THE MOST STUNNING THINGS EVER?????OK!!I SEE YOU!!!!!!!IM SUBSCRIBING!!!!!!!!
Appreciate it 🔥🔥
This is incredible!! The expressions and overall expression of emotion and tone of every scene are great! The movement and choreography are both awesome too! Just love it all around!!
Thanks!! 💜
This is phenomenal! Seriously your sketches are breathtaking. The movement and syncronisasion are no less than stunning. Your love for the story is very much evident.
Ty!! I do definitely love Fathom's story, it's one of the stories that sticks with me the most
Your art style is beyond impressive! It looks gorgeous in this animatic style. And seeing how long you took to make it, blows my mind! I felt the exact same working on and off on my two college projects, haha.
But this just captures Fathom as a character so well, even Albatross in ways! The movements and use of dynamic posing just gives this animatic such a life I can’t describe. I have to admit I’ve watched it over and over again to look at every single detail!
The expressions are amazing at captivating the viewers, not to forget how so well they’re drawn! Emotions on dragons are hard to pull off but this, this is beautiful. Like oh my god man I just- I have no words anymore. xD
The music fit the scenes so well from the more lighter hearted start of Fathom and Albatross bonding, to the horrific bloodshed massacre on the beach.
So incredible! All that work was worth it without a doubt. You’re very talented and skilled and I hope to see more of your animatics in the future! It’s amazing. :D
Wow, I've read this multiple times and still don't really know what to say. Thank you so much 💜
The music does fit Fathom's story very well, which is why it stuck in my head for so long before actually starting :)
@@amphiolet been there so many times where you find the perfect song, haha! xD
But aww, that’s so sweet that you reread my comment multiple times. Makes me happy to know!
Holy fucking shit, this is incredible
Ty!!!
Omg everything's so great and awesome!!! The designs, the storytelling and the fight scenes are all amazing!! Poor Fathom, I feel bad for him and for Albatross, tbh. You did such a wonderful job, the massacre scene gave me chills, especially when Indigo and Fathom tries to hide. I wonder how cool It would look in a AMV style or even MAP. But take your time with It!
I will take my time. I currently have other things I need to work on so it's on the back burner right now, but I hope to get it completed one way or another. Thank you for the compliments 💜
Your animation flow is so GOOD even as an animatic and the expressions are drawn so well and gets the point across its so beautiful
Animation and expressions were my favorite part of working on this so it's sick that that came across!
This is INCREDIBLE!!!!! Fantastic work!! ❤
Ty! 💜
DAMNN THIS IS EPIF AFFF
🔥🔥🔥
Man alive, I really REALLY hope you are able to complete this WIP project as it is magnificent so far!
I hope so too, motivation is really unstable 🙏
FINALLY PEOPLE ARE ACKNOWLEDGING THE TRUE BEST SONG ON THE ALBUM
YEAHHH IT'S MY FAVORITE SONG IN THE ALBUM!!
this is CRAZY good . amazing work 👏👏
Ty!!
This animatic is absolutely incredible! The animated bits are so fluid and engaging and the expressions are super captivating! This is probably the best depiction of the events I’ve seen, which is even more impressive due to it being sketched! You deserve way more subscribers!!
The animated bits were probably the most fun tbh, same with the exaggerated expressions. Glad you enjoyed it, ty 💜
3:37 THE WALKING IS SMOOTH
I'm quite happy with that walk cycle too :)
AUGHHH THIS IS SO COOOLLLLL i love everything abt this
Very happy to hear :D
Damn ! The overall animation and expressions of the characters are amazing ! And i don't mention the chara design that make the animation so readable ! I love also the fact that you stay very close to the book in term of action, and you really get the scary and creepy vibe that the book have. One of my favorite depiction of the Seawing Massacre i think ^^
I did try to stick as close to canon as possible (some liberties ofc), it's beautifully told and I'm happy to see I translated that well ^^
@@amphiolet Yes, it's really well done ! ( And i can't think of the time to have probably took for that !)
HOLY SHIT WHAT THE HELL? THIS IS AMAZING! YOURE SO UNDERRATED WHATTT
Cool to hear you think so, ty :D
This is really fantastic! I love how you handle action scenes, , everything is so well choreographed!!!
Ty! 💜
Omg!😵
I love this sooooo much!
Aaaaa😩💘
This animation, these emotions, these movements! Everything is gorgeous! 😍❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I think we need a map based on this animatic >:D hehe
Thanks, and I actually had considered making a MAP based on this! However, I don't think I have enough of a following for my own MAP to get finished, so it's a solo project for now.
absolutely phenomenal!
Ty!
Cool, you did good.
Ty!
SO COOL SO COOL SO COOL!!!!!!!
Tyty :D
THIS IS GORGEOUS, love the way you drew everything!
Tysm!!! 💜
No comments? Ill be the first to say it
THIS IS ABSOLUTEY AMAZING
That was fast, thank you very much!
i dont even know the lore or anything of wings of fire but this animatic is cool
Glad you enjoyed it even without knowing the series :D
@@amphiolet no problem!
Dude you have no idea how much I love the SeaWing massacre, it might be my favorite scene in Darkstalker. Seeing it brought to life like this is a real treat!! Fantastic work, I love how dynamic the animatic is overall. Thank you for sharing your talent and this wonderful piece!!! : D
Fr, Darkstalker is my favorite book overall and this part in particular is so emotional, I love seeing whenever someone makes an animation or PMV out of it!
I love your compositions and the pacing of this so MUCH this is fantastic!!!!!
Tysm!!
holy cow this is insanely good
Ty!!
i love your art style!!!!
Thanks, I'm quite happy with it :)
This would be a AWSOME map
I bet it would, though my intention is for this to be a solo project for now. If for some reason I never finish it by myself, I may host it as a MAP so it does get finished, though I wish to gain more of a following and also experience as a MAP host beforehand!
This very underrated it is awesome!
Ty!!
GAAAAAAAAH. Sorry I have not actual words, just GAAAAAAAH
AAAAAAAA
IM SO NORMAL ABOUT THIS??? HUH??? WHAT??? HELP???? GOING INSANE???
So sane so normal 🔥
This is amazing! You need to make a movie asap!!
I wish haha, one day maybe if I go into animation as a career path :)
