I’ll be putting my take on the animatic’s, though mostly Heather (the butcher)‘s, plot, character beats, motivations here for my and anyone else’s reference: So! Given that Heather is a mermaid hunter, we can leave the capture of Delta up to imagination. Then, we base this off the question that’s yet to leave my mind: Why does Heather seem to *need* the blood so? Given a read over the slides within the description, Mermaid Blood has a distinctive healing property. Given Heather’s measurement off a blood sample’s properties(?), we can assume she was determining the tier of the blood. Given how distraught she was at the inconsiderate bonk of her tank, we can assume it was of high tier, which is likely what she needs to be able to cure that scar she hides under her magnificent hair swooop. At the filling of the tank, Heather was readying a strike at Delta, so we can assume that she only wanted enough to cure her scar and possibly to sell, giving the mermaid meat some semblance of a chance to sell well. Through this, we can see the general use of mermaid hunters: They collect blood, properly; harvest meat, and scales; and decrease the chance of the race being discovered by giving them reason to hide, making it a controlled market. Conclusion? Mermaid Hunters are a supreme, skilled, very rich branch of hunters. Sad to say Charles(stabbed himbo) doesn’t exactly fit our description here. He’s likely a mercenary that found his way into Mermaid Hunting by association. This was long, might edit this down.. or up. 🤧
Adding to this: It looks like Heather had an aquarium for merfolk? Given that there was only one skeleton, could we say it was a special mermaid to Heather? 🌝 That, and that the tank looks big enough for a pod(?) of merfolk, so we could technically assume she killed the rest, but left the last one to starve, and be eaten by the other organisms in the tank. Beyond that, it means that mermaids were once so common, in either hers or a relative/mentor’s time, that people could stand to have aquariums made for them, instead of selling outright. Like exotic pets. Could we be facing a Mermaid Endangered Species? Is this how they’d get reduced to mythos?

When I run out of fictional universes to obsess over, at least I know these characters exist and I love them hehe

I love how silly and genuinely horrifying some of the things that the Heather does and how she's just such a great villain. It's genuinely amazing how great you are at showing personality with your characters without even a word. And even near the end, you get to show the villain have just a bit of humanity when they stare in shock/fear at the floating water. But then when you show her telling her assistant to walk off a literal stab wound, it reminds us that she still isn't in any way empathetic or caring.

@@KarmaVein Yeah, this animatic world is so interesting! There seems to be a new one every three to four months or so, so I'm excited to know that the next one will likely be soon! (Of course, any animatic takes a while to make, and these ones are especially complex, so no pressure or upset if it takes a while. I'm just excited!)
idk why but my brain is chugging with theories on why heather wants/needs whatever properties or magic the merpeople have,,. anyway i watched this three times already i love the expressions on all the characters :)
I think she’s chasing some form of immortality or great power, or gaining the immense power that the Bigass Sea Monster from the Ship in a Bottle video somehow
Don't remember where I saw this,but I'm pretty sure the blood is used as some really expensive beauty product. I'll edit if I remember where I heard Edit: the presentation in the description :)
Due to the song not specifying that she doesn’t want anything more than to cut up average body parts, it did not strike me as wanting to gain higher power, but an attempt to commit murder on whatever she could get her hands on.
At 0:49, delta looks so terrified, but the only thing that Heather did was put her hair up lol. Delta: okay I can handle thi- HOLY SHIT SHE PUT HER HAIR UP SHE MEANS BUSINESS
In Delta's defence, Heather managed to put her hair up in less than three seconds, while posing dramatically and singing. That *_is_* pretty impressive. Clearly, she realized only an important villain would be allowed to do such by the creators and, ergo, she was in actual danger. /lh
Y'know, I thought she was scared of the anatomy pictures of mermaids behind Heather, but I like your's better. It is now cannon that Delta is terrified of people with buns
@@EdPotatoLady *Delta wakes up screaming* Maritza: What's wrong? Delta: The nightmares.... Maritza: Oh when you were captured- Delta: She put her hair up in a bun- I saw my life flash before my eyes.... Maritza: Delta: Maritza: I'm leaving you
@@EdPotatoLady Delta def has some type of hairnet related trauma. Heather's hair wasn't even fully in a bun yet (or at least not in the frame) and she was already terrifed.
God, the scene where Heather (I think that's what their name is, yeah?) looks up at the floating water, and the whispers start getting louder until it all drops.... you have such a gift for storytelling and emotion.
Bruh Delta's expression looking at the fishy skeleton next to her is absolutely legendary Edit: Orange Juice. What, did you think I was gonna say something like MoM iM fAmOuS
Honestly, this is such a superhero scenario. Delta about to be turned into sushi but the Villains takes just long enough to monologue for Mariza to arrive in the nick of time. I imagine at that point Delta said something like: "Oh, have I forgot to mention? My girlfriend's the God of the Sea in the making".
@@Your_mom513 There's another video on this channel that explains the pirat girl's backstory to be how she killed the previous God of the Sea after it attacked her ship and killed her friends. When she killed it, the position somehow transfers to her, so she slowly starts transforming, which is the blue bits in her hair. The video is called "Ship in a Bottle", it's pretty good.
@@nephilima3956 I know, I was writing it based on what heather would probably say in response to “Oh, have I forgot to mention? My girlfriends the God of the Sea in the making”.
@@Your_mom513 Gotcha. Looking back, I did wonder whether the username "Heather, unhingend kidnapper" was just a reference but it was just my ADHD deleting parts of the world around me.
Every time I just imagine Heather pausing in the middle of 'oo' as the big muscly guy literally drags Delta into another room and ties her into a chair and then her just pirouetting after them like a demented ballerina
You did not pull any punches on how horrific that woman is. I got moments thinking 'Oh, she'll kill me without a hitch', wonderful job at portraying her characters, and I loved that action bit, it had a lot of movement. This is a wonderful work, and really made me inspired!
-the way the frames picked up during the faster/more intense scenes -The fact that I thought the cloaked person was an accomplice until she broke into the lab to rescue the fish lady -the DREAD I felt when I saw the skeleton stuff everywhere 😟 So many amazing things. This animatic was spectacular!
this is the most unhinged animatic I've watched and I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. the psycho faces, the way a scene can go from "fun" to FEREL IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. a prime example is the cut to the "basement" from the first room. the moment that scene change happened i was just left sitting there thinking "well sh*t's about to go down." heather is a maniac and I ADORE her for it. the smoothness of the movements, down to the small details in the backgrounds. you could GENUNLY feel the fear in delta's face while she was getting laid down to be BUTCHERED ALIVE. so more or less. perfect animatic. 10/10. would animatic again.
The part with the forced blood-draining reminded me of how this is an actual problem in India. People lure in immigrants, who are often very poor, with the promise of housing and a job, but then keep them locked up, draw blood from them several times a week, and sell the blood in the black market. A dozen victims may be held captive in one house, left too weak to defend themselves from becoming even weaker.
YOOO!! INCREDIBLE AS ALWAYS!! Love the unhinged vibe that Heather (that's her name, right?) has, the cutaways to Mariza coming to rescue Delta, the transitions between scenes and the incredible detail in the backgrounds. Also, that part where the music cuts when Mariza uses her powers and you just hear sound effects WAS SO COOL!! And that fight between Mariza and Heather GOES SO HARD. Any insight into your pirate universe is always cool, I love all the characters so much :D
and it gives me a semicanon timeframe. 0:34 Pirates were around in the 17th and 18th century, and laughing gas was invented in 1772, so it's probably around that time
@@aguyontheinternet8436 Mariza is also wearing a justacorps (the coat) which was created in the late seventeenth century and I believe still worn in the eighteenth. Of course, this is fantasy and it doesn't line up with real events, but it definitely seems to be based on eighteenth century Earth!
I’m just now noticing the pictures on the walls in 1:22 and a little bit back. Those are some nice touches, but seeing Heather( I’m sorry if that’s not her name I need to refresh myself on all the names) in a dress is weirdly unsettling. Nice touch, though.
I've now watched this at least 20 times and the little dance that Heather says when she says 'Oh laughing gas can be so much fun' is such an amazing detail
"🎶if i wanted to bleed ill just roll up my Sleeve🎶" is just so catchy i can't stop repeating it 2:46 (but if your thinking of doing this or already dis this please talk about this first/get help from a therapist/family member.)
THIS IS TOO GOOOOOOD THE UNHINGED EXPRESSIONS, THE FLUID MOVEMENT, THE CHARACTERS, THE AMAZING BACKGROUND, IT’S ALL SO PRETTY You can really see all the effort put into this! If I’d have just randomly encountered this video I’d have thought it was an animatic of a show or something
God I'm so charmed by this as a whole, fighting sequence, the movement of the character entering the room and charging against the lady?? It was made perfect, as well as the scenario! It's so full of detail and yet works just enough not to steal the focus from the main characters.
MMMMM This will be the only thing in my bloodstream thank u JUST FINISHED IT This is literally the definition of. Phenomenal 😮💨😮💨💗💗 chills literal chills
@@harpywiththebrownfeathers Yeah I know but it would be so good as a comic or show in my opinion the characters and the subtle story and the music perfectly fitting the animatic just feels like a A+ show or comic material
When you go crazy for beauty, you become like her. That's why she wants Delta's blood (by the way, Delta is the mermaid she thought to cut into pieces). I don't know why she needs mermaid pieces, it's a good collection since she's also a mad scientist. She is actually very old, but she uses mermaid blood to preserve her beauty and youth, plus a salary because she sells mermaid blood formula to members of high society. And yes... she is very beautiful, and these are just some fun facts from the presentation in the video description and from more videos with Heather. I so wish this was a show. I love, by the way, Heather's trick of looking innocent, sweet, and charismatic while being radically crazy.
The villain is so interesting! She is enough like an ordinary ecstatic person, but also has little unsettling parts or just a creepy face. Makes you want more
If I had a nickel for every time this creator showed me a new song that I genuinely loved and listened too outside of a video, I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s cool it happened twice
I ACTUALLY CAN’T STOP SMILING HAHA OH MY GOSH??? Either Heather’s unhinged facial expressions are rubbing off on me or I’m just THAT blown away. First of all I LOVE the song you chose. Your animatics have introduced me to so many amazing songs I swear this is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the week. And secondly you are just SO GOOD at telling stories without any dialogue! Like even if the song wasn’t playing I would still be able to tell what’s going on. You did a wonderful job showing what Heather’s motive is too…like when the blood is spilled she immediately stops fighting and runs over to inspect it instead. And the battle scene itself was INCREDIBLEEEEE 😭💕 The glass shattering sound effect made me gasp out loud omgggg I could honestly keep rambling but I won’t because this is getting really long I’m sorry lol. Point is this is so fantastic and I’m exited to learn more about your characters!
Not me just being absolutely terrified of the crazy lady But this was a bone-chilling music video. All the expressions and movement is just *chef’s kiss*
I clicked faster than when I have to poop after coming home from Taco Bell😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yaaaay! More story is always fun also interesting how heather (scary doctor lady) wanting to dissect delta for her being a water genasi (dnd race that is the closest thing I can think of to her) and then the whole water power things. It’s all so cool and interesting!
I feel the need to say thanks for two separate reasons. 1. Thanks for making another one of these brilliant videos. 2. Thanks for introducing me to a song that will no doubt become a favourite.
Oh, this is the best! I'm super invested in the stories of these characters. Plus anything with "happy-go-lucky woman that likes picking people apart for fun" always gets me. Hope to see more of these fish and folk!
Sometimes i forget how beautiful and telling simple expressions can be, the exaggerated expressions are great but the simple ones are just as great, you know exactly what the characters feel. Especially when working with the body language. 10/10 animation
A distinctive, catchy tune? OCs? A fun plot? Sign me UPPPP I've listened to this song dozens of times prior, and just realized it's basically "Dentist!" from Little Shop of Horrors...
Omg Delta is literally my favorite so it was amazing to see other fishy guy's story (i found ship in a bottle yesterday and in 19 hours that song became my FAVORITE)
i love this song and i love your art and these amazing traumatized ocean people. i want to kiss the anthropomorphic embodiment of this animatic and then i will probably get stabbed by it
I got a theory of the help of a user name Nox's comment: The reason Heather needed the blood is to make some sort of potion of some sort to probably get revenge for someone she knows personally who has gotten attacked or betrayed by one of those creatures.
This reminds me of Nita the protagonist of “Not even bones” who has a near fetish like fixation with biology and dissection who has simple plans about going to college and becoming a researcher until they their powers are made known and they are set to be sold on the black market and she ends up taking the world on by storm just to gain her freedom and live
What I noticed by rewatching is how there is a scar covered by her hair, how her skewed sense of enjoyment is covered by her charisma. And when it’s clearly showed is when the two characters run away and she sits in her defeat, showing how her brokenness that comes in the form of manslaughter. Also the friend in the background that helps the insane girl with her plans is fully aware of his wrongdoings so the scar is clearly showing, no charisma to cover it up.
Somebody might have already mentioned this, but I think that even tho the curse on mariza will happen anyway using her power will speed up. This is why she only used it as a last resort. And after part of her hair was more teal
In a matter of two days, I have watched this 6 times, read the slide show (and cried) and have had no other connection to human life after obsessing over this world you have created. This is freaking incredible, good job. (No I am not ok)
@@tomerorlevi1673 Like, the slideshow I mentioned? It has all the info about this persons creation there. It's located in the description of this video!
I know you probably won't see this but I want you to know how cool it is to see a trans woman who doesn't seem to have used medical stuffs for their transition and to not really have their validity threatened in the slightest whenever I see other trans women in stories and stuff they've always either already done some medical transition or it's made a big deal that they want to and I just want to tell you guys that I really appreciate Delta's existence
GODDDD, THIS WAS SO COOL OMFG- The animations are just amazing- The characters, the story- All of it is jus so cool and amazin'. Absolutely love it, keep up the good work Shandzii!

@@KarmaVein Yeah, this animatic world is so interesting! There seems to be a new one every three to four months or so, so I'm excited to know that the next one will likely be soon! (Of course, any animatic takes a while to make, and these ones are especially complex, so no pressure or upset if it takes a while. I'm just excited!)

So many frames! Wow! You did an amazing job telling the story!
aaaa thanks man :O!
You both are good with songs
hi
@@shandziiis she a theatre kid
@shandzii haven't you worked on a couple of his vids? I could swear I've seen you credited on some.
idk why but my brain is chugging with theories on why heather wants/needs whatever properties or magic the merpeople have,,. anyway i watched this three times already i love the expressions on all the characters :)
I think she’s chasing some form of immortality or great power, or gaining the immense power that the Bigass Sea Monster from the Ship in a Bottle video somehow
Yeah
She's a collector?
Don't remember where I saw this,but I'm pretty sure the blood is used as some really expensive beauty product. I'll edit if I remember where I heard
Edit: the presentation in the description :)
Due to the song not specifying that she doesn’t want anything more than to cut up average body parts, it did not strike me as wanting to gain higher power, but an attempt to commit murder on whatever she could get her hands on.
At 0:49, delta looks so terrified, but the only thing that Heather did was put her hair up lol.
Delta: okay I can handle thi- HOLY SHIT SHE PUT HER HAIR UP SHE MEANS BUSINESS
In Delta's defence, Heather managed to put her hair up in less than three seconds, while posing dramatically and singing. That *_is_* pretty impressive. Clearly, she realized only an important villain would be allowed to do such by the creators and, ergo, she was in actual danger. /lh
Y'know, I thought she was scared of the anatomy pictures of mermaids behind Heather, but I like your's better. It is now cannon that Delta is terrified of people with buns
@@EdPotatoLady
*Delta wakes up screaming*
Maritza: What's wrong?
Delta: The nightmares....
Maritza: Oh when you were captured-
Delta: She put her hair up in a bun- I saw my life flash before my eyes....
Maritza:
Delta:
Maritza: I'm leaving you
@@Befuddled-draws Delta: No! You don't understand, there was a hair net on it! A hair net!!!
@@EdPotatoLady
Delta def has some type of hairnet related trauma. Heather's hair wasn't even fully in a bun yet (or at least not in the frame) and she was already terrifed.
God, the scene where Heather (I think that's what their name is, yeah?) looks up at the floating water, and the whispers start getting louder until it all drops.... you have such a gift for storytelling and emotion.
How do you know her name?

ah, her fatal blunder, monologueing until rescue appears
Even the best fail to remember the number 1 rule. Don't sing until help arrives.
Common mistake
Every main antagonist ever
I mean she is crazy of course she will want to taunt her helpless victim
She might be a little unhinged, but there’s something very attractive about a woman so passionate about her craft.
Yeah, the craft may be dismembering the fish people but at least she enjoys it.
Ayo?
I think this is the situation the word scaroused was made for.
And I agree it's so nice to see somebody enjoying their craft. Whee!
Wait, Actually-
You’re Honestly Right.
Sooo u sexually attracted to a sadist?
Honestly, this is such a superhero scenario. Delta about to be turned into sushi but the Villains takes just long enough to monologue for Mariza to arrive in the nick of time. I imagine at that point Delta said something like: "Oh, have I forgot to mention? My girlfriend's the God of the Sea in the making".

@@Your_mom513 There's another video on this channel that explains the pirat girl's backstory to be how she killed the previous God of the Sea after it attacked her ship and killed her friends. When she killed it, the position somehow transfers to her, so she slowly starts transforming, which is the blue bits in her hair. The video is called "Ship in a Bottle", it's pretty good.
@@nephilima3956 I know, I was writing it based on what heather would probably say in response to “Oh, have I forgot to mention? My girlfriends the God of the Sea in the making”.

You did not pull any punches on how horrific that woman is. I got moments thinking 'Oh, she'll kill me without a hitch', wonderful job at portraying her characters, and I loved that action bit, it had a lot of movement. This is a wonderful work, and really made me inspired!
Could you tell me what these characters are from ?
@@lick3227 these characters are all original, but if you want more detail there's a google slide linked in the description

“How many times have you replayed this animatic?”
*”yes”*
Relatable
Yes = a lot of times
-the way the frames picked up during the faster/more intense scenes
-The fact that I thought the cloaked person was an accomplice until she broke into the lab to rescue the fish lady
-the DREAD I felt when I saw the skeleton stuff everywhere 😟
So many amazing things. This animatic was spectacular!
Watch Ship in a Bottle to understand the cloaked person more.
Cloaked person is fish girls girlfriend I think?
@@books3597 ITS A SHE?!
@@localpyromaniac. yeah her names Delta, in the description there's a link to a sideshow about the charecters and story
@@books3597 i really need to start reading descriptions a lot of info hides there
this is the most unhinged animatic I've watched and I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. the psycho faces, the way a scene can go from "fun" to FEREL IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. a prime example is the cut to the "basement" from the first room. the moment that scene change happened i was just left sitting there thinking "well sh*t's about to go down." heather is a maniac and I ADORE her for it. the smoothness of the movements, down to the small details in the backgrounds. you could GENUNLY feel the fear in delta's face while she was getting laid down to be BUTCHERED ALIVE.
so more or less. perfect animatic. 10/10. would animatic again.
Why is it always the crazy ones who gave such good voices or a really interesting song if not both.
Dude, this is so well made! I love this song so much, and this animatic is just so full of movement, I absolutely adore it!!
oh your here
Holy shit dude you got verified!!! Nice!!!
I love how much diabolical fun the villain is having. Her shoulder shake at the laughing gas line is so cute, too! And that final shot!!!
1:17
“…and dont call miriam”
oh wait…
Mariza….
Miriam….
shandzii, how
The part with the forced blood-draining reminded me of how this is an actual problem in India. People lure in immigrants, who are often very poor, with the promise of housing and a job, but then keep them locked up, draw blood from them several times a week, and sell the blood in the black market. A dozen victims may be held captive in one house, left too weak to defend themselves from becoming even weaker.
Oh my god that is twisted
Fuck bro that's terrible
jesus christ?? i don't understand how people could even think about doing that.
@@catzillapurrfect4526 it’s called money and it’s really sad that they are doing this
Holy sh*t this went from fantasy problem to real world problem real fast. It’s horrifying what people will do for money.
YOOO!! INCREDIBLE AS ALWAYS!! Love the unhinged vibe that Heather (that's her name, right?) has, the cutaways to Mariza coming to rescue Delta, the transitions between scenes and the incredible detail in the backgrounds. Also, that part where the music cuts when Mariza uses her powers and you just hear sound effects WAS SO COOL!! And that fight between Mariza and Heather GOES SO HARD. Any insight into your pirate universe is always cool, I love all the characters so much :D
and it gives me a semicanon timeframe. 0:34 Pirates were around in the 17th and 18th century, and laughing gas was invented in 1772, so it's probably around that time
@@aguyontheinternet8436 Mariza is also wearing a justacorps (the coat) which was created in the late seventeenth century and I believe still worn in the eighteenth. Of course, this is fantasy and it doesn't line up with real events, but it definitely seems to be based on eighteenth century Earth!
I’m just now noticing the pictures on the walls in 1:22 and a little bit back. Those are some nice touches, but seeing Heather( I’m sorry if that’s not her name I need to refresh myself on all the names) in a dress is weirdly unsettling. Nice touch, though.
I've now watched this at least 20 times and the little dance that Heather says when she says 'Oh laughing gas can be so much fun' is such an amazing detail
Aaaaa I cannot get over how incredible your animatics are. The expressions, the movement, the everything.
Fancy finding you here

"🎶if i wanted to bleed ill just roll up my Sleeve🎶" is just so catchy i can't stop repeating it 2:46 (but if your thinking of doing this or already dis this please talk about this first/get help from a therapist/family member.)
This is ridiculously professional, like you were able to keep things readable and expressive even with few frames. Have you considered making a show?
Yeeeeees
i would pay so much money for that
beg her for a patrion mayybe just considering@@liddonburns8195
THIS IS TOO GOOOOOOD
THE UNHINGED EXPRESSIONS, THE FLUID MOVEMENT, THE CHARACTERS, THE AMAZING BACKGROUND, IT’S ALL SO PRETTY
You can really see all the effort put into this!
If I’d have just randomly encountered this video I’d have thought it was an animatic of a show or something
Hell yeah
Agreed!
Wait it’s not from a show?
Exactly
Agreed its amazing
God I'm so charmed by this as a whole, fighting sequence, the movement of the character entering the room and charging against the lady?? It was made perfect, as well as the scenario! It's so full of detail and yet works just enough not to steal the focus from the main characters.
MMMMM This will be the only thing in my bloodstream thank u
JUST FINISHED IT
This is literally the definition of. Phenomenal 😮💨😮💨💗💗 chills literal chills
GAH! I can feel it in my veins.. this video.. Let’s just hope I don’t get captured by that lady, gonna be hard to explain what’s in my blood
Just like the fish lady can feel the needle
I would pay whatever price if It meant Shandzii OC's could get their own show or Webtoon honestly this is Amazing 😁❤💙👍👌
Shandzii isn't planning on making a comic as far as I'm aware, and in my opinion these animatics are actually better
@@harpywiththebrownfeathers Yeah I know but it would be so good as a comic or show in my opinion the characters and the subtle story and the music perfectly fitting the animatic just feels like a A+ show or comic material
At 2:06 that's a lot of blood loss! She must be really tough to still be awake after all that
*tough

Is no one gonna mention Delta's (fish lady) face at 0:10 . Mine would be the same thing lol. Awesome job as always!
At 3:26 she just looks so tiny and sad and confused that I ALMOST forget she's borderline insane. but pretty woman🙏🙏🙏
When you go crazy for beauty, you become like her. That's why she wants Delta's blood (by the way, Delta is the mermaid she thought to cut into pieces). I don't know why she needs mermaid pieces, it's a good collection since she's also a mad scientist. She is actually very old, but she uses mermaid blood to preserve her beauty and youth, plus a salary because she sells mermaid blood formula to members of high society. And yes... she is very beautiful, and these are just some fun facts from the presentation in the video description and from more videos with Heather. I so wish this was a show. I love, by the way, Heather's trick of looking innocent, sweet, and charismatic while being radically crazy.
2:51 and that's one of the best villain smiles I've ever seen👌
That song matched it perfectly.
frr
The villain is so interesting! She is enough like an ordinary ecstatic person, but also has little unsettling parts or just a creepy face. Makes you want more
If I had a nickel for every time this creator showed me a new song that I genuinely loved and listened too outside of a video, I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s cool it happened twice
I’d have like 13-20 nickels
I'd have 4 nickels

"damn, that's catchy"
I ACTUALLY CAN’T STOP SMILING HAHA OH MY GOSH???
Either Heather’s unhinged facial expressions are rubbing off on me or I’m just THAT blown away. First of all I LOVE the song you chose. Your animatics have introduced me to so many amazing songs I swear this is going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the week. And secondly you are just SO GOOD at telling stories without any dialogue! Like even if the song wasn’t playing I would still be able to tell what’s going on. You did a wonderful job showing what Heather’s motive is too…like when the blood is spilled she immediately stops fighting and runs over to inspect it instead. And the battle scene itself was INCREDIBLEEEEE 😭💕
The glass shattering sound effect made me gasp out loud omgggg
I could honestly keep rambling but I won’t because this is getting really long I’m sorry lol. Point is this is so fantastic and I’m exited to learn more about your characters!
2:38 having it animated to the drum beat is so fun and adds so much movement for the animation itself, very cool little bit
Fr, that’s my favorite part of the song, and the animation did not disappoint by any means
"Miss/Sir, please I require medical help RIGHT. NOW! I have a major stab wou-"
"Hold that thought, i have a song to finish"
Not me just being absolutely terrified of the crazy lady
But this was a bone-chilling music video. All the expressions and movement is just *chef’s kiss*
I clicked fast than anyone can say “stfu”
I LOVED IT, it’s so BEAUTIFUL 🤩

@Aixal -20 True, but without color seems better to me
I need a whole movie about the story of your ocs because I’m so interested in this story
AYO THAT FIGHT SCENE?? HELLO? the designs of the rooms are so oughg i love them so much. bones on her celing.
Yaaaay! More story is always fun also interesting how heather (scary doctor lady) wanting to dissect delta for her being a water genasi (dnd race that is the closest thing I can think of to her) and then the whole water power things. It’s all so cool and interesting!
I can't take the situation seriously with deltas angry little face near the start
I feel the need to say thanks for two separate reasons. 1. Thanks for making another one of these brilliant videos. 2. Thanks for introducing me to a song that will no doubt become a favourite.
Oh shit is this song not made dor the video?! It went so well with it
Oh same, I have listened to this song over 5 times just today
That transition at 0:22 I think is my favorite detail
There is so much detail here. Through The Butcher’s (What I’ve begun to call her) facial expressions, you can tell just how psychotic she is.
THAT WOMAN IS SO PRETTY OH MY GOD. ABSOLUTELY LOVELY ANIMATIC AS ALWAYS!!
Oh, this is the best! I'm super invested in the stories of these characters. Plus anything with "happy-go-lucky woman that likes picking people apart for fun" always gets me. Hope to see more of these fish and folk!
Hey, say what you want about the antagonist, but I'm just happy to see more women in STEM.
Sometimes i forget how beautiful and telling simple expressions can be, the exaggerated expressions are great but the simple ones are just as great, you know exactly what the characters feel. Especially when working with the body language. 10/10 animation
A distinctive, catchy tune? OCs? A fun plot? Sign me UPPPP
I've listened to this song dozens of times prior, and just realized it's basically "Dentist!" from Little Shop of Horrors...
She is very attractive in the most respectful manner
She is very attractive (disrespectfully)
2:18 Ok so nobody's gonna talk about how smooth this bit is-
One of my favorite creepy songs with one of my favorite artists!!!💜
Omg Delta is literally my favorite so it was amazing to see other fishy guy's story (i found ship in a bottle yesterday and in 19 hours that song became my FAVORITE)
Oh wait I mean the sea monster possessed person, they're my favorite, in case that wasn't clear
OMGGG shandzii this looks absolutely amazing!!!! the way you make characters so energetic and expressive in your animatics is amazing :D
This looks so amazing shandzii! You’re animations really motivate me! I especially love you sun and moon content :D Have a great time shanzii
first thing I've seen from you, wasn't expecting to find a song called "The Dismemberment Song" at 1am
This song is starting to live in my head rent-free
So, Mariza controls water in a way, right?
Could she control the water within someone's body? Pull off a blood bender tactic and stuff?
Мне нравится что эти многие анимации связаны между собой и выглядят как отдельная мультивселенная, со своими мифическими существами.
I agree
О! Русский!
Можешь Помочь,В Каком Порядке Надо смотреть эти анимации
If there was a comic or webcomic about this I'd reread it so much I love all your characters. And your friend's characters
i love this song and i love your art and these amazing traumatized ocean people. i want to kiss the anthropomorphic embodiment of this animatic and then i will probably get stabbed by it
I got a theory of the help of a user name Nox's comment:
The reason Heather needed the blood is to make some sort of potion of some sort to probably get revenge for someone she knows personally who has gotten attacked or betrayed by one of those creatures.
This reminds me of Nita the protagonist of “Not even bones” who has a near fetish like fixation with biology and dissection who has simple plans about going to college and becoming a researcher until they their powers are made known and they are set to be sold on the black market and she ends up taking the world on by storm just to gain her freedom and live
Imagine this becomes an animated movie, I’d definitely watch it! 💜
I’m back to rewatch the first video I have ever seen on this channel, LET THE NOSTALGIA BEGIN! 😎
AAAAAA!!!!! I was on the edge of my seat! LOVED the ending!!!!
3:31

Heather: "stfu I'm having a musical moment"
Guard: “Ma’am I have a major wound in my side-“
Heather: “I SAID, STFU I’M HAVING A MUSICAL MOMENT!”
@@emmie-c8t I interpreted heather's reaction as more of a "you will be punished for your incompetence" at the end.
how many times have i watched this?
...
hush, im trying to listen
Same so be quiet whoever's asking
Totally love this interaction of the characters
And just how unsettling the "scientist" is.
So Great work.
[:
What I noticed by rewatching is how there is a scar covered by her hair, how her skewed sense of enjoyment is covered by her charisma. And when it’s clearly showed is when the two characters run away and she sits in her defeat, showing how her brokenness that comes in the form of manslaughter. Also the friend in the background that helps the insane girl with her plans is fully aware of his wrongdoings so the scar is clearly showing, no charisma to cover it up.
Spoilery question:
3:23- does she recognize the powers of the sea god?
This is amazing! I love the energy of this animatic, it didn't drag one bit. Keep up the great work! :D
I've had this on loop for a good hour while drawing Cuphead art, you don't understand how good this is!
Somebody might have already mentioned this, but I think that even tho the curse on mariza will happen anyway using her power will speed up. This is why she only used it as a last resort. And after part of her hair was more teal
In a matter of two days, I have watched this 6 times, read the slide show (and cried) and have had no other connection to human life after obsessing over this world you have created. This is freaking incredible, good job. (No I am not ok)

It seems like everyone knows it without any source.

Only 6 times in two days?
Those sound like rookie numbers to me, you gotta bump those up.
ME TOO ??
I never thought this song would get this kind of recognition. I love this song, and I'm glad that this was recommended to me.
I know you probably won't see this but I want you to know how cool it is to see a trans woman who doesn't seem to have used medical stuffs for their transition and to not really have their validity threatened in the slightest whenever I see other trans women in stories and stuff they've always either already done some medical transition or it's made a big deal that they want to and I just want to tell you guys that I really appreciate Delta's existence
Delta is trans? Good to know.
Ye
Okay so: I've been playing this on a loop while playing monster hunter all night long. Can't get enough of it.
I’m actually really invested in this universe even though I’ve seen almost nothing
ive never been this invested in an animatic before lol
This song is simultaneously a bop and incredibly disturbing :)
Yh when I played the song to my dad he said he was concerned 🤣🤣
GODDDD, THIS WAS SO COOL OMFG- The animations are just amazing- The characters, the story- All of it is jus so cool and amazin'.
Absolutely love it, keep up the good work Shandzii!
