I love how Bill tries to kill Ford three times in this animatic, and each time he stops because of Ford. The first time it's because Ford admitted he thought of Bill as a friend, the second time is because Ford called Bill out on being alone, and the last time is because Bill just doesn't have it in him to let him go. Both figuratively and literally.
Your Bill is so incredibly like his canonical counterpart in the way he moves and acts in this, and it's gorgeous. You REALLY got his personality perfectly!!!
Surprisingly, yeah. The line about Ford/Ody thinking of Bill/Athena as a friend was a concern in my head when getting to it, but it fits the canon even if the context if different. Ford did think Bill was genuinely his friend and didn't know he was being manipulated at first. And of course, Bill did actually need Ford's help to enter this dimension so all the talk about their investment and thinking its a waste when Ford figures out the plan and refuses to keep cooperating fits just as easily.
Love Ford's statue pose. It feels so much more natural than the canon one as well as plain impactful. Bill didn't pose him here: Ford thought he was gonna straight up die
THE ENDING WAS SOOOO GOOD???? i was like "no way he actually drops Fordsy" but YOU TRICKED ME I THOUGHT FOR A SECOND HE WOULD DROP FORDSY and then the cut to Bill placing him on the throne right next to him like damnnnnnnn
1:18 is probably my favorite scene. the details of bill's eye softening at the mention of ford once considering him a friend, followed the fire slowly disappearing afterwards. also the way it's contrasted by bill's aggressiveness in the latter scene at 1:46 as he claims "I'm not looking for a friend"
Epic and Gravity Falls MY GOD Ford being so done after Bill's first speech shsbbsb The "You're out of my head now" with oracle putting metal plate in Fords head The "-if I'll never sleep at night" with Bill tormenting Ford Bill breaking at "You're alone" and ultimately not dropping Ford I'M SCREAMING
Okay I'm here to be totally normal about this bc all the little details showing how it's affecting Bill is driving me insane ESPECIALLY after Ford's turned to gold and he's so frustrated at himself for being unable to truly get rid of him!!!!!! And to say nothing of the gentle little stroke as he puts him down aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
That drawing of the mystery gang is so pretty. It works so well with how they’d pose for a family photo. Mable is being silly, Dipper is trying to pose, but is his awkward self as always, Wendy is just chilling like she doesn’t care at all and she’s pulling it off, Soos is posing because he does kinda care while still keeping a bit of silly since he is, Waddles is… Waddles… Stan is trying to smile way too hard and Ford is trying to look actually nice for the picture and is probably the only one who knows how to smile for one
Your depiction or Bill telling Ford about his home is the best I've seen but it's *so* good. ESPECIALLY to the words "You can’t cross the line" like it wasn’t all just manipulation but maybe some part of Bill hoped opening up would mean Ford wouldn't leave him
Good ear. I never really considered Bill and Ford would match Athena and Odysseus’ parting in My Goodbye, but they work surprisingly well. And your art is phenomenal, absolutely does the storytelling justice. I especially love Bill’s conflicted expression at the end and the little twist you threw in
Yep thats one of the greats in my mind now, somehow canon in all the best ways. The motions here, the FEELING, god the gentle movement of his thumb after Bill couldn't bring himself to toss away Ford.....its amazing.
This is such a perfect demonstration of their relationship omg this is beautiful. The animatic is so clean and the slight animation omg this is genuinely incredible
1:58 The moment I realized where this was going I started following the lyrics. "Since you claim you're so much wiser, why's your life spent all alone? You're alone!" That's a really good parallel
This is so cool!! Bill not being able to let go of Ford even after all the threats cuz at the end of the day he is just a needy toxic ex who can't accept that they are done cuz Ford was the only thing he could relate to. Not only that Ford showing that he is away ahead of Bill, having overcome and made peace with most of his past, while Bill, the one who runs and tries to ignore the most from his, by causing havoc and chaos ends up being the one who lives most in it.
This is the best break-up song Imagine you're done with them and instead of the "we're done" you just start singing "you were reckless, sentimental at best"
The way this song fits their story and complex relationship is quite mindblowing. The animatic is so so well done, both of them acting so in character. I do like how every time Ford questions Bill or gets on his nerves, he emiedetely gets angry and wants to shut him down. Especially at the end, considering Ford hit the most sensitive spot: Bills tendency of escapism deeply rooted in past traumatic event and loneliness he experienced from the begining of his existence. Very cool, cannot wait to show it to my best friend, she'll flip out as we're both Epic and GF fans :]]
IKR! I can’t believe how much the fandom has been flossing over the abuse bill really put ford through, I think it’s probably because of how comical bill is, but the BoB goes over some actual stuff, and I’m glad there are people taking it seriously
If you're looking for another billford animatic that fits that description (one that doesnt glamorize the abusive nature of their relationship): I'd recommend IzzyJDraw's Partner in Crime billford animatic. I ended up hyperfixating on it the first time I watched it and played the song while imagining the animatic while I did housework. Content warnings for blood and violence, more graphic than here if I remember correctly.
I don't think I've seen an animatic do that. I've seen animatics that take a comical approach to Billford. I've seen ones that put them in romantic situations, but that isn't the same as romanticizing abuse. Romanticizing abuse would be showing Bill doing something like nailing Ford's hand and having it be to the tune of a cheesy love song. Putting them in romantic situations isn't out of character either, because pre-betrayal!Billford was incredibly "lovey-dovey" (for lack of a better term). Likewise, Weirdmaggedon era romantic situations work, but only if Ford is clearly not enjoying it, or he's enjoying it subconsciously due to their history. Bill is very big on "romantic gestures", with his own freaky twist ofc, e.g. The Love Cage and screeching serenade.
@@sp4c1ng_0ut8 🧍♂ya ever seen tumblr? it's not exactly animatics on there but there's some...weird uncomfortable stuff on there. sorry for not phrasing something correctly???
I loved this so much I compiled a list of my favorite bits: - 0:53 that expression?! How did you make a f**king triangle be so emotive?!?! - The sequences at 1:14 and 1:24? I actually screamed. That was so slick. - The bit with baby Bill? I felt my heart shatter. That meteor reflected across his eye, agh!!!! - Bill acting like he's gonna throw Ford off the Fear-amid but he can't?! TLDR; I am floored and this is a masterpiece.
DAMN I was skeptical about using this song with these two but you pulled it off so damn well! God the part where Bill tries to drop Ford and yet he still ends up on the arm of his throne fucking got me. That fucking triangle can NOT cope with this shit.
@3:12 When Bill softly brushes Ford with his thumb as he's holding him and then lets go - Break my heart, why don't you?! Lol Bill's face at the end when he doesn't drop Ford and sits in the chair instead really shows how tired and frustrated he is that he just can't let him go, no matter how much he wants to The way Younger Ford looks at Bill @0:41, showing how much empathy and care he had for him, and the flashbacks afterwards to them spending time together really makes this whole situation between them in this animatic hit so much harder with how much their relationship has fallen apart This was wonderfully animated! The emotions and small details you added were portrayed beautifully! Well done! :D
I'm so obsessed with this animatic and song and I feel the need to ramble about it, so I will. I love the way that near the end of the song it stresses and repeats "this is my goodbye" over and over, progressively more upset. Almost desperate. Because if it's Bill's goodbye, then he's the one in control of the situation- he's the one who's ending it, the one who's chose to split things off. Yet that's not the reality, because the truth is that Ford already said his goodbye long ago. He's trying everything in his power to be the one with the upper hand here, yet they both know that Bill is too attached to the past to let go- he's not the one in control, even if he wants to be. This interpretation of the song was something I saw in an animatic (based on the source media) before, but seeing it with billford is just the icing on the cake because it absolutely fits them. Goodbye was already said, and repeating it won't change a single thing. Besides the song choice, the expressions and general flow is addicting to watch; it drags you into the story, makes you one of the spectators in this argument. Yet we're more than a spectator, because we can see what those witnessing it themselves cannot. That added context, the flashbacks, the subtle little movements and expressions- it adds so much character to it. This animatic is everything to me by the way, it's causing me agony.
Thank you so much! That's a really cool lecture! If there's something that Bill craves, that's control. And I'm happy to know the animatic managed to catch you like that. That means it worked :)
I feel unwell and sobbing violently on the floor omg. Words cannot express the emotion I was slap with over and over as I watched on. sdkjgfJS I CAN'T COPE, HOW AM I MEANT TO BE NORMAL AFTER THIS. THE SONG FITTING THEM SO WELL, THE CHEFS KISS ART AND STYLE?!?! AHHHHHHHH Imma have it looped for the next 3 hours. Thank you for this absolute BANGER!!!
THIS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, I can tell its gotta become THE animatic, something people look back on in 5 years like “OH MY GOD I remember that! It was AMAZING!” 1 million view level stuff here seriously
3:01 THIS. THIS!!! OMG I LOVE THIS❤❤ Imagining the Henchmaniacs in the bg side eyeing each other at these losers' Sing Divorce 2 is the only thing keeping me from bawling, THIS IS SO GOOD.
Everything about this was perfection bill’s expressions movements mannerism and use of his powers is spot on and so damn good then the scene with his parents is just insanely touching and well done also didn’t think the lyrics of a song from epic would be so fitting for those two! Then there’s all the references to the book of bill and this is just a masterpiece
this is incredible, i love your style and i love how expressive you made bill! also love that you included the henchmaniacs, lol they really witnessed a juicy fight between a divorced couple
HOLY SHIT?! THIS IS SO GOOD! Also the way i knew the "You're alone" part would show bill's parents. Also idk why but when Bill was so smooth on the line "And i'll keep mine"
I honestly firstly thought that it’s not a great song for them but DAMN was I a fool Especially the ending just killed!! So good! Their expression!! What Bill did in the end. I honestly thought for a sec he would throw him but no. Of course not.
I keep coming back to this. I got obsessed with EPIC and have loved GF so I think thats why I clicked on it first. But this is so beautiful. It fits so well. The slamming of Bill's fists is my favorite part it just works so well!
Thanks! That part is actually the reason why I made the entire animatic. I was planning to do just the first minute but when I heard that part I instantly imagined all the sequence with a giant angry Bill slamming the ground and really wanted to draw that, so I was like "well that part is half way through the song, I'm might as well just animate the whole thing xd"
My Goodbye and Billford is so narratively and atmospherically different that i did not expect this to work. BUT OHMIGOD THIS ATE HANDS DOWN AND UP IT WAS SO GOOD AND YOU INCORPORATED IT SO WELL!!!
THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD DUDE HOLY SHIT The facial expressions, characterizations, Bill's mannerisms and how Ford refuses to back down. This FEELS canon. I'm gonna be watching this on loop, excellent work here
I LOVE this!!! I love how in character both of them are!! Plus the little stroke Bill gives to Ford's statue at 3:13 is perfect! And I love how you drew Baby Billy!
Это просто восхитительно! Пересматриваю вашу работу уже раз третий😭💔эти детали... Лечат и убивают мое сердечко, огненная анимация💋❤️🔥супер супер супееееер
Love everything, i have been looping this for a while now. Particularly i enjoy the expressions in Bill's gang, they like "holy shit, i thought this was just gonna be a spat, did that realy just happen?"
ohhh this is so GOOD!! I was legit shook that he actually dropped him, then a few frames later i was like nvm that fits. he's too gay to truly let him go.
OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!! The animation is so good and I can tell you worked hard on it! This is just spectacular ~chef's kiss~! The parallels between Bill and Athena is so good, them wanting to let go but ultimately just can't let go completely. The parallel between Ford and Odysseus with the line "This way, when all is done, you're out of sight and out of mind" is ahhhhhhh! otherwise known as the Breakup song literally 10/10
THIS IS CRAZY?? HOLY CRAP! The subtle movements, the framing between each shot.. This is so professional looking, well done! HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS?! I'm subbing, I look forward to seeing more of your work!
the way you matched the scenes to the lyrics is masterful honestly, 0:35-0:41 and 1:22-1:34 are just perfect and not to mention your very accurate portrayal of both Bill's and Ford's characters. animatics like these inspire me
This is so freaking good!!! The expressions are just perfect. I'm so jealous of how good you are at drawing emotions!!! 0:39, 0:49, 1:20, 1:33, 1:43, 1:55, 1:59, 2:28, 2:39, 2:44, 2:50-2:53, 2:55, 3:05 The drawings you chose for the flashbacks fit the song so well! 0:35, 0:51, 1:11, 1:22, The scene shaking when Bill slammed his fists Ford on top of the universe The family picture The entire baby Bill flashback The henchmaniacs faces The drop and transition!!! Bills hand movement!!!!!!!!!! There's so much about this that is just amazing! 1000000/10
This is incredible. I love how well this song fits them! I love all the bits you've included from the books, especially the baby Bill flashback and how the Oracle helped Ford with the metal plate. I also really liked that switched when Bill let Ford drop only to immediately switch to him sitting on the throne still clutching Ford, unable to let go and frustrated with himself over it. Masterful detail with the thumb rubbing Ford's front before he let go. ^_^
CHILLS!! I love this so dearly- specially that ending!! He so easily could have let him shatter, but he’s just as capable of letting emotions get in the way than Ford is GOSH THIS IS BEAUTIFUL TOXIC YAOI MY BELOVED
I've lost count of how many times I've replayed this! I especially like how you draw Bill, seamlessly shifting his form from whimsical to imposing. Your art form would perfectly fit the actual show. You are an amazing artist.
Wow, I was blown away with the amount of detail and thought put into this animation. The expressions on Bill's face were so freaking good dude! And the ending! It made me so sad, throughout all the animatic you showed how much actually Bill was attached to Ford and he couldn't let go of him in the end even with all bad blood between them.I absolutely loved all of it! Thank you for making this!
SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP RUNNING AROUND BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS !!!!! THIS IS INCREDIBLE I'M SO OBSESSED. ONE OF MY GEFORCE FAVORITE EPIC SONGS PLUS MY CURRENT HYPERFIXATION I'M FERAL I'M PUTTING THIS IN MY MOUTH AND SHAKING VIGOROUSLY!!!!!!!
This is by now my favourite BillFord animatic, it's a masterpiece 😩✊ "You're not looking for a mentor, I'm not looking for a friend" is my favourite part, Bill looks there like he's emotionally done and so canon...
The fucking ending BROOOOOO THIS is AMAZING GOD I can’t believe it HOWWWWW I’m not good at leaving comments but man this one really deserves it. Everything is just amazing, the animation, the attention to details, the song choice, the expressions; the whole part with “out of sight and out of mind” is just mind blowing, the way you characterized bill feels so real (his childishness paired with incredible weakness for Ford), everything. So I decided to rewatch the animatic and highlight some of my favourite moments. 0:24 the entire bit before that, how he starts out so carefree and confident and slowly grows angrier 0:35 okay but also bill’s expression here is so curious, cuz he’s not having fun tormenting Ford, or even being extremely angry, it’s like he’s steeling himself to do what comes next 0:39 first of all, this shot looks gorgeous, second of all, this paired with “you know what your place is” actually broke my heart; next bits just furthered the effect 0:53 + 0:54 bill’s expression here looks almost pained.. it does it a lot in this animatic I’ve noticed 0:59 ngl, Ford looking absolutely done w bill’s bullshit took me out 1:00 have I mentioned that I love bill’s expressions in this? Bc I love bill’s expressions in this 1:20 ILL REMIND YOU I SAW YOU AS A FRIEND!!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️💥💥💥 (for further commentary look at the note above) 1:22 annddd bill backs out obvi 1:25 THIS WHOLE PART MAN 1:39 ford at this angle actually looks really good (plus love how bill is growing bigger and trying to intimidate ford and it’s just NOT working) 1:46 OOOOFFFF I LOOVED this part, bill hitting the throne in rhythm with the song just AAAAA (plus always love seeing bill get pissed, reminds you just how immature he is) + the way Ford backs off slightly 1:51 mandatory “I love bills expressions” mention 2:00 this is a really cute pic 🥺 2:11 “you’re alone” and flashing back to his childhood is INSANE, thank you (also good use of the momentary lull in the song, it fits a lot), great depiction of bill’s parents, always love seeing everyone’s different interpretation of them 2:45 love this frame for no reason 2:51 the entire crew watching bill have his mental breakdown over his ex is kinda funny ngl 3:01 The subtitles slayed (also thank you sm for them, I can NOT watch thing without subtitles and it’s always a nice surprise finding them) 3:05 THE TRANSITION YOOOOOO bill can’t let of him for his LIFE, man’s OBSESSED. 3:10 yes yes, just gonna say it. I love bills expressions. He literally just gave up. 3:13 THE LITTLE BRUSH IS DRIVING ME INSANE. WHY IS IT SO TENDER. Also the way he sets him down, gently. Next to him on his throne. The closest he will ever get to having him at his side. 10/10 will for sure rewatch
not the henchmaniacs being subjected to this lover's quarrel- AMAZING ART BTW LIKE ITS SO YUMMY WTF I LOVE WHAT YOU DID WITH THE CAPTIONS ON BILL'S LAST "THIS IS MY GOODBYE!" THE WAY BILL MOVES FORD'S SPITFUL GLARES AT BILL also are the couple of figures at 0:33 supposed to be the pines family 😰
this is literally perfect. oh my god. why have i never considered my goodbye to be a billford song before!!!!! the only EPIC song i thought fit ford is “no longer you” but now this …. omg. incredible. the way you animate bill specifically is some of the best i’ve seen, 1000% reminiscent of the show. and all the details!!!!!! the flashbacks and the final bit with bill’s finger kinda stroking ford before letting go ….. so much to talk about. amazing job!!!!!!!
I am an avid watcher of animatics. I did not think this song fit these two, I watched for curiosity's sake, and was left DAM IMPRESSED SUPRISED. the way that you emphasize the emotions and tell the story through the camera angle and shots. Stunning, the story you told here was amazing.
Honestly this might be my favorite animatic of this song and it's not even of the Epic characters. The drawings are so clean, the camera work is amazing, and the emotions fight the lyrics so well.
Ahhhhh wth this is so gooooood!!!!! I just sent this video link 3 times to my friends groupchat so all of them can see it too!!❤❤❤ That ending...... Ugh Bill you coward!! He literally went back from killing Ford like 4 times! And the little caress on theFord statue before he lets it go.... Im just imagining all the henchmaniacs watching this go down like 0-0
I love this so much. There's a lot of stuff I like in this video but the one image that really hits me is Ford looking sympatheticly and intensely at the last piece of bills world. 🎯❤
As a fan of epic the muscial, i fond hard to separate the context, but nonetheless upir animation was AMAZING and you made a good choice. On of the details I've adored is that in his home dimention you showcase him as the only one with an eye. I think that was an amazing choice. Usually i see people draw the others with two eyes, but it's so much cooler that the "rare mutation" is literally the normalest thing about him for us. They literally couldn't see the stars because they're 2D, they don't need to see in any other directions. Very original and interesting detail!
I love how at the end, it is now shown, but for him to catch him back, he probably had to realize what he was doing, regret it and leap to catch Ford back before coming to the conclusion he's traped in this feeling. I really loved the animatic hihi, the little caress of his finger at the end almost KILLED ME BWAHAHAHAH
GAH THE WAY I VISIBLY GASPED AT THE END LIKE WHAT The emotions going through Bill during this entire animatic holy SHIT This animatic is amazing and feels like it really explores their characters well, Bill it ain’t gonna work between you two and you know it but he can’t let go?? GOD Again everything about this was amazing, and I’m also glad to see an animatic that includes the machine that makes Ford’s mind harder to decipher. Not many people remember that thing
This is SO amazing. I absolutely adore the portrayal of both bill and fords perspectives. The scene’s of bill possessing ford are STUNNING and they show how much pain it cause ford to become corrupted like that. People argue that he’s a bad person, and caused weirdmaggedon due to his lack of trust in others but I’d like to argue that although he’s not great, the BoB reveals so much trauma he endured while he was in a relationship with bill. And speaking of which, I’m stunned by the breathtaking representation of bill in this animatic. I love how he is clearly in the wrong but it still shows he also endured a lot of trauma and there are explanations for his actions, not justifications. Overall AMAZING, I love the cold, hard truth of billford instead of a lot of the fluff that’s been going around in the fandom. You’ve earned a new sub!
I love how Bill tries to kill Ford three times in this animatic, and each time he stops because of Ford.
The first time it's because Ford admitted he thought of Bill as a friend, the second time is because Ford called Bill out on being alone, and the last time is because Bill just doesn't have it in him to let him go. Both figuratively and literally.
"Adora, you must let go." quote comes real handy in this.
They knows eachothers limits too well 👀
Do you mean…. Figurine-atively? Get it? Cause Ford’s basically a figurine?
@@rachelmr24 sobs and dies

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
That drawing of the mystery gang is so pretty. It works so well with how they’d pose for a family photo. Mable is being silly, Dipper is trying to pose, but is his awkward self as always, Wendy is just chilling like she doesn’t care at all and she’s pulling it off, Soos is posing because he does kinda care while still keeping a bit of silly since he is, Waddles is… Waddles… Stan is trying to smile way too hard and Ford is trying to look actually nice for the picture and is probably the only one who knows how to smile for one
THE WAY BILL'S HENCEMENS/FRIENDS LOOK AT HIM WORRIED OR LIKE AFRAID YOU KNOW SHIT WENT DOWN
this is NOT a crossover I knew I needed but oh my gosh it fits so well actually
Your depiction or Bill telling Ford about his home is the best I've seen but it's *so* good. ESPECIALLY to the words "You can’t cross the line" like it wasn’t all just manipulation but maybe some part of Bill hoped opening up would mean Ford wouldn't leave him
Yeah with the info we have from TBOB and the website we can tell that even if Bill says all he does and says is just manipulation, not everything is.
Good ear. I never really considered Bill and Ford would match Athena and Odysseus’ parting in My Goodbye, but they work surprisingly well. And your art is phenomenal, absolutely does the storytelling justice. I especially love Bill’s conflicted expression at the end and the little twist you threw in
Thanks ^^ The first idea was to do just a few seconds of the song, but the lyrics fit so well that I ended up doing all of it :D
Yep thats one of the greats in my mind now, somehow canon in all the best ways. The motions here, the FEELING, god the gentle movement of his thumb after Bill couldn't bring himself to toss away Ford.....its amazing.
yeah just had to rewatch that again, holy shit. the on beat SLAM of Bill's fists, looking at the stars with his parents.....FUCK its good.
Thanks! Im glad you like it ^^
2:11 NOT BABY BILL PLEASE-
This is such a perfect demonstration of their relationship omg this is beautiful. The animatic is so clean and the slight animation omg this is genuinely incredible
I was not prepared for how well you would make this fit. Originally I was like “yeah, I can kinda see it” but ong now I see it.
Surprise :D
1:58 The moment I realized where this was going I started following the lyrics.
"Since you claim you're so much wiser, why's your life spent all alone?
You're alone!"
That's a really good parallel
Me literally
When it hit that part, I was like "Ih no, the alone part... THE ALONE PART-"
This is so cool!!
Bill not being able to let go of Ford even after all the threats cuz at the end of the day he is just a needy toxic ex who can't accept that they are done cuz Ford was the only thing he could relate to.
Not only that Ford showing that he is away ahead of Bill, having overcome and made peace with most of his past, while Bill, the one who runs and tries to ignore the most from his, by causing havoc and chaos ends up being the one who lives most in it.
This is the best break-up song
Imagine you're done with them and instead of the "we're done" you just start singing "you were reckless, sentimental at best"
The way this song fits their story and complex relationship is quite mindblowing. The animatic is so so well done, both of them acting so in character. I do like how every time Ford questions Bill or gets on his nerves, he emiedetely gets angry and wants to shut him down. Especially at the end, considering Ford hit the most sensitive spot: Bills tendency of escapism deeply rooted in past traumatic event and loneliness he experienced from the begining of his existence.
Very cool, cannot wait to show it to my best friend, she'll flip out as we're both Epic and GF fans :]]
finally a billford animatic that isn't romanticizing the abusive nature of their relationship 😩
IKR! I can’t believe how much the fandom has been flossing over the abuse bill really put ford through, I think it’s probably because of how comical bill is, but the BoB goes over some actual stuff, and I’m glad there are people taking it seriously
*i meant glossing*
If you're looking for another billford animatic that fits that description (one that doesnt glamorize the abusive nature of their relationship): I'd recommend IzzyJDraw's Partner in Crime billford animatic. I ended up hyperfixating on it the first time I watched it and played the song while imagining the animatic while I did housework.

I don't think I've seen an animatic do that. I've seen animatics that take a comical approach to Billford. I've seen ones that put them in romantic situations, but that isn't the same as romanticizing abuse.
Romanticizing abuse would be showing Bill doing something like nailing Ford's hand and having it be to the tune of a cheesy love song.
Putting them in romantic situations isn't out of character either, because pre-betrayal!Billford was incredibly "lovey-dovey" (for lack of a better term).
Likewise, Weirdmaggedon era romantic situations work, but only if Ford is clearly not enjoying it, or he's enjoying it subconsciously due to their history. Bill is very big on "romantic gestures", with his own freaky twist ofc, e.g. The Love Cage and screeching serenade.
@@sp4c1ng_0ut8 🧍♂ya ever seen tumblr? it's not exactly animatics on there but there's some...weird uncomfortable stuff on there. sorry for not phrasing something correctly???
It's NUTS how well Epic songs fit with Billford
I loved this so much I compiled a list of my favorite bits:
- 0:53 that expression?! How did you make a f**king triangle be so emotive?!?!
- The sequences at 1:14 and 1:24? I actually screamed. That was so slick.
- The bit with baby Bill? I felt my heart shatter. That meteor reflected across his eye, agh!!!!
- Bill acting like he's gonna throw Ford off the Fear-amid but he can't?!
TLDR; I am floored and this is a masterpiece.
Thank you so much! Ford's flashbacks and Bill's expressions were some of my favorites things to do :D
@@GallowsC Can I write a fanfic based on this animatic? 👀 (I promise to credit you obvi)
@@beetlejuiceblues12 be free
oh man this is amazing,, I loveeee the scenes where ford wakes up on the roof and when bill can't bring himself to toss ford away
Painfully underrated I’m gonna force my friends to watch this beauty
DAMN I was skeptical about using this song with these two but you pulled it off so damn well! God the part where Bill tries to drop Ford and yet he still ends up on the arm of his throne fucking got me. That fucking triangle can NOT cope with this shit.
@3:12 When Bill softly brushes Ford with his thumb as he's holding him and then lets go - Break my heart, why don't you?! Lol
Bill's face at the end when he doesn't drop Ford and sits in the chair instead really shows how tired and frustrated he is that he just can't let him go, no matter how much he wants to
The way Younger Ford looks at Bill @0:41, showing how much empathy and care he had for him, and the flashbacks afterwards to them spending time together really makes this whole situation between them in this animatic hit so much harder with how much their relationship has fallen apart
This was wonderfully animated! The emotions and small details you added were portrayed beautifully! Well done! :D
Did not expect this to work so well. Does a great job of recontextualizing the song and Bill and Ford's relationship. Simply brilliant
Thank you!
I love how the flashbacks are actually from the book of bill scenes where bill constantly posses Ford out of spite.
Ваш Билл настолько каноничен, что я на полном серьезе прошу Алекса прислушаться к этому прекрасному аниматику, это просто превосходно!!! ❤❤❤😭😭😭
The way this animatic recontextualised this entire song is GENIUS HOLY SHIT!!! You are insanely talented man this was so good
I love it when my fandoms merge, My Goodbye fits so well here
I'm so obsessed with this animatic and song and I feel the need to ramble about it, so I will.
I love the way that near the end of the song it stresses and repeats "this is my goodbye" over and over, progressively more upset. Almost desperate. Because if it's Bill's goodbye, then he's the one in control of the situation- he's the one who's ending it, the one who's chose to split things off. Yet that's not the reality, because the truth is that Ford already said his goodbye long ago.
He's trying everything in his power to be the one with the upper hand here, yet they both know that Bill is too attached to the past to let go- he's not the one in control, even if he wants to be.
This interpretation of the song was something I saw in an animatic (based on the source media) before, but seeing it with billford is just the icing on the cake because it absolutely fits them. Goodbye was already said, and repeating it won't change a single thing.
Besides the song choice, the expressions and general flow is addicting to watch; it drags you into the story, makes you one of the spectators in this argument. Yet we're more than a spectator, because we can see what those witnessing it themselves cannot. That added context, the flashbacks, the subtle little movements and expressions- it adds so much character to it.
This animatic is everything to me by the way, it's causing me agony.
Thank you so much! That's a really cool lecture! If there's something that Bill craves, that's control. And I'm happy to know the animatic managed to catch you like that. That means it worked :)
SCREAMING, CRYING, SOBBING, THROWING UP, KICKING, EATING THE DRYWALL, BITING, FOAMING AT THE MOUTH.
I feel unwell and sobbing violently on the floor omg. Words cannot express the emotion I was slap with over and over as I watched on. sdkjgfJS I CAN'T COPE, HOW AM I MEANT TO BE NORMAL AFTER THIS. THE SONG FITTING THEM SO WELL, THE CHEFS KISS ART AND STYLE?!?! AHHHHHHHH Imma have it looped for the next 3 hours. Thank you for this absolute BANGER!!!
Jajajaja thanks! Im glad you like it that much ^^
HELP I know this is so toxic but I started dying when it cut to Bill still holding Ford on the throne, looking mad as hell 😂 Very good work!
THIS. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT, I can tell its gotta become THE animatic, something people look back on in 5 years like “OH MY GOD I remember that! It was AMAZING!” 1 million view level stuff here seriously
Ohh, I hadn't thought about that, I'd love to :')
3:01 THIS. THIS!!! OMG I LOVE THIS❤❤
Imagining the Henchmaniacs in the bg side eyeing each other at these losers' Sing Divorce 2 is the only thing keeping me from bawling, THIS IS SO GOOD.
The visuals recontextualizing the lyrics was so well done!!! And their EXPRESSIONS AAAAHHHH I AM OBSESSED WITH THIS
Everything about this was perfection bill’s expressions movements mannerism and use of his powers is spot on and so damn good then the scene with his parents is just insanely touching and well done also didn’t think the lyrics of a song from epic would be so fitting for those two! Then there’s all the references to the book of bill and this is just a masterpiece
Thanks! ^^ I think the insane amount of lore that exists about those two made it way easier to do the entire animatic :0
this is incredible, i love your style and i love how expressive you made bill! also love that you included the henchmaniacs, lol they really witnessed a juicy fight between a divorced couple
Henchmaniacs enjoying the tea 🍵
HOLY SHIT?! THIS IS SO GOOD! Also the way i knew the "You're alone" part would show bill's parents. Also idk why but when Bill was so smooth on the line "And i'll keep mine"
I honestly firstly thought that it’s not a great song for them but DAMN was I a fool
Especially the ending just killed!! So good! Their expression!! What Bill did in the end. I honestly thought for a sec he would throw him but no. Of course not.
I keep coming back to this. I got obsessed with EPIC and have loved GF so I think thats why I clicked on it first. But this is so beautiful. It fits so well. The slamming of Bill's fists is my favorite part it just works so well!
Thanks! That part is actually the reason why I made the entire animatic. I was planning to do just the first minute but when I heard that part I instantly imagined all the sequence with a giant angry Bill slamming the ground and really wanted to draw that, so I was like "well that part is half way through the song, I'm might as well just animate the whole thing xd"
Jesus crist, you didnt have to go that far, but I m so damm grateful you did
me too xd
My Goodbye and Billford is so narratively and atmospherically different that i did not expect this to work. BUT OHMIGOD THIS ATE HANDS DOWN AND UP IT WAS SO GOOD AND YOU INCORPORATED IT SO WELL!!!
THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD DUDE HOLY SHIT
The facial expressions, characterizations, Bill's mannerisms and how Ford refuses to back down. This FEELS canon. I'm gonna be watching this on loop, excellent work here
I LOVE this!!! I love how in character both of them are!! Plus the little stroke Bill gives to Ford's statue at 3:13 is perfect!
And I love how you drew Baby Billy!
Это просто восхитительно! Пересматриваю вашу работу уже раз третий😭💔эти детали... Лечат и убивают мое сердечко, огненная анимация💋❤️🔥супер супер супееееер
Love everything, i have been looping this for a while now.
Particularly i enjoy the expressions in Bill's gang, they like "holy shit, i thought this was just gonna be a spat, did that realy just happen?"
ohhh this is so GOOD!! I was legit shook that he actually dropped him, then a few frames later i was like nvm that fits. he's too gay to truly let him go.
2:45 I went by "He won't do it." to "He might do it..." And thank god he didn't. 🙏
He can't do it
@@GallowsC he is so in love ahh 😞
OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!! The animation is so good and I can tell you worked hard on it! This is just spectacular ~chef's kiss~! The parallels between Bill and Athena is so good, them wanting to let go but ultimately just can't let go completely. The parallel between Ford and Odysseus with the line "This way, when all is done, you're out of sight and out of mind" is ahhhhhhh! otherwise known as the Breakup song literally 10/10
The Breakup song fr ToT
THIS IS CRAZY?? HOLY CRAP! The subtle movements, the framing between each shot.. This is so professional looking, well done! HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS?! I'm subbing, I look forward to seeing more of your work!
SOMEONE SHOW THIS TO ALEX HOLY SHIT ITS SO GOOD. (especially the way Bill moves and emotes, its so good)
the way you matched the scenes to the lyrics is masterful honestly, 0:35-0:41 and 1:22-1:34 are just perfect and not to mention your very accurate portrayal of both Bill's and Ford's characters. animatics like these inspire me
This is so freaking good!!!
The expressions are just perfect. I'm so jealous of how good you are at drawing emotions!!! 0:39, 0:49, 1:20, 1:33, 1:43, 1:55, 1:59, 2:28, 2:39, 2:44, 2:50-2:53, 2:55, 3:05
The drawings you chose for the flashbacks fit the song so well! 0:35, 0:51, 1:11, 1:22,
The scene shaking when Bill slammed his fists
Ford on top of the universe
The family picture
The entire baby Bill flashback
The henchmaniacs faces
The drop and transition!!!
Bills hand movement!!!!!!!!!!
There's so much about this that is just amazing! 1000000/10
Thank you so much! :DDD
Oh this-
this is beautiful
This is incredible. I love how well this song fits them! I love all the bits you've included from the books, especially the baby Bill flashback and how the Oracle helped Ford with the metal plate. I also really liked that switched when Bill let Ford drop only to immediately switch to him sitting on the throne still clutching Ford, unable to let go and frustrated with himself over it. Masterful detail with the thumb rubbing Ford's front before he let go. ^_^
CHILLS!! I love this so dearly- specially that ending!! He so easily could have let him shatter, but he’s just as capable of letting emotions get in the way than Ford is GOSH THIS IS BEAUTIFUL TOXIC YAOI MY BELOVED
I've lost count of how many times I've replayed this! I especially like how you draw Bill, seamlessly shifting his form from whimsical to imposing. Your art form would perfectly fit the actual show. You are an amazing artist.
godddd this is literally them😭😭 i like this animation SM GOOD GOD. THIS IS AWESOME!!
THE TINY THUMB CARESS AT THE END IS DRIVING ME INSANE
ANOTHER CROSSOVER!!!
FIRST ALIEN STAGE!! AND NOW EPIC!!! I AM LOVING THESE CROSSOVER!!! 💖
Wow, I was blown away with the amount of detail and thought put into this animation. The expressions on Bill's face were so freaking good dude! And the ending! It made me so sad, throughout all the animatic you showed how much actually Bill was attached to Ford and he couldn't let go of him in the end even with all bad blood between them.I absolutely loved all of it! Thank you for making this!
SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP RUNNING AROUND BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS !!!!!
THIS IS INCREDIBLE I'M SO OBSESSED. ONE OF MY GEFORCE FAVORITE EPIC SONGS PLUS MY CURRENT HYPERFIXATION I'M FERAL I'M PUTTING THIS IN MY MOUTH AND SHAKING VIGOROUSLY!!!!!!!
:D
This is by now my favourite BillFord animatic, it's a masterpiece 😩✊
"You're not looking for a mentor, I'm not looking for a friend" is my favourite part, Bill looks there like he's emotionally done and so canon...
BRO my two fav fandoms in one 3 minute video....I'm in heaven 😂😂🎉🎉
Not squishy baby triangle 🥺 This is so awesome! I love GF and Epic! 🩷
The fucking ending BROOOOOO
THIS is AMAZING GOD
I can’t believe it HOWWWWW
I’m not good at leaving comments but man this one really deserves it. Everything is just amazing, the animation, the attention to details, the song choice, the expressions; the whole part with “out of sight and out of mind” is just mind blowing, the way you characterized bill feels so real (his childishness paired with incredible weakness for Ford), everything.
So I decided to rewatch the animatic and highlight some of my favourite moments.
0:24 the entire bit before that, how he starts out so carefree and confident and slowly grows angrier
0:35 okay but also bill’s expression here is so curious, cuz he’s not having fun tormenting Ford, or even being extremely angry, it’s like he’s steeling himself to do what comes next
0:39 first of all, this shot looks gorgeous, second of all, this paired with “you know what your place is” actually broke my heart; next bits just furthered the effect
0:53 + 0:54 bill’s expression here looks almost pained.. it does it a lot in this animatic I’ve noticed
0:59 ngl, Ford looking absolutely done w bill’s bullshit took me out
1:00 have I mentioned that I love bill’s expressions in this? Bc I love bill’s expressions in this
1:20 ILL REMIND YOU I SAW YOU AS A FRIEND!!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️💥💥💥 (for further commentary look at the note above)
1:22 annddd bill backs out obvi
1:25 THIS WHOLE PART MAN
1:39 ford at this angle actually looks really good (plus love how bill is growing bigger and trying to intimidate ford and it’s just NOT working)
1:46 OOOOFFFF I LOOVED this part, bill hitting the throne in rhythm with the song just AAAAA (plus always love seeing bill get pissed, reminds you just how immature he is) + the way Ford backs off slightly
1:51 mandatory “I love bills expressions” mention
2:00 this is a really cute pic 🥺
2:11 “you’re alone” and flashing back to his childhood is INSANE, thank you (also good use of the momentary lull in the song, it fits a lot), great depiction of bill’s parents, always love seeing everyone’s different interpretation of them
2:45 love this frame for no reason
2:51 the entire crew watching bill have his mental breakdown over his ex is kinda funny ngl
3:01 The subtitles slayed (also thank you sm for them, I can NOT watch thing without subtitles and it’s always a nice surprise finding them)
3:05 THE TRANSITION YOOOOOO bill can’t let of him for his LIFE, man’s OBSESSED.
3:10 yes yes, just gonna say it. I love bills expressions. He literally just gave up.
3:13 THE LITTLE BRUSH IS DRIVING ME INSANE. WHY IS IT SO TENDER. Also the way he sets him down, gently. Next to him on his throne. The closest he will ever get to having him at his side.
10/10 will for sure rewatch
Aajajja Omg, I'm glad you like it that much! Thanks for your comment ^^ Also my sister made the subtitles, so the credit goes to her :D
I don't have words to describe how good this is
not the henchmaniacs being subjected to this lover's quarrel-
AMAZING ART BTW LIKE ITS SO YUMMY WTF
I LOVE WHAT YOU DID WITH THE CAPTIONS ON BILL'S LAST "THIS IS MY GOODBYE!"
THE WAY BILL MOVES
FORD'S SPITFUL GLARES AT BILL
also are the couple of figures at 0:33 supposed to be the pines family 😰
GOD MY TWO HYPERFIXATIONS IN ONE PERFECT PLACE, THE WAY YOU ANIMATED BILL, GOD ITS SO CANON OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
THIS IS SO GOOD OMG!? I love the way you draw Ford and how you managed to combine the two fandoms!! I'm rewatching it over and over again...
OMG Yes!!! This is amazing, the song fits SO well, and the art is SO good!
I'm gonna watch this non-stop for the next 30 minutes.
Also, this is the 4th time I've had a BillFord song idea and then someone makes an animatic of it. I guess I'm just 'In Tune' with the fandom. 😅
You're feeding both the GF and Epic community
this is literally perfect. oh my god. why have i never considered my goodbye to be a billford song before!!!!! the only EPIC song i thought fit ford is “no longer you” but now this …. omg. incredible.
the way you animate bill specifically is some of the best i’ve seen, 1000% reminiscent of the show. and all the details!!!!!! the flashbacks and the final bit with bill’s finger kinda stroking ford before letting go ….. so much to talk about. amazing job!!!!!!!
Thanks! ^^ I'm actually working on some more animatic ideas with EPIC songs. "No longer you" is one of those I'm considering 👀
@@GallowsC omg ….. it’s one of my absolute favourite songs from EPIC. i would be so stoked if you animated it!!
THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVOURITE PIECE OF ART 🥲 i’m literally so obsessed i can’t stop rewatching ❤️
THE BEST POSSIBLE CROSSOVER?? the song fits those two so well 😍 the ending got me, of course bill could never let him go
I am an avid watcher of animatics. I did not think this song fit these two, I watched for curiosity's sake, and was left DAM IMPRESSED SUPRISED. the way that you emphasize the emotions and tell the story through the camera angle and shots. Stunning, the story you told here was amazing.
@@Regrettispaghetti21 Thank you :3
Honestly this might be my favorite animatic of this song and it's not even of the Epic characters. The drawings are so clean, the camera work is amazing, and the emotions fight the lyrics so well.
I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS ANIMATIC
i love everything in this animatic
oh wow this is so good... the way Bill couldn't go through with destroying ford... poor ford... love this
Ahhhhh wth this is so gooooood!!!!! I just sent this video link 3 times to my friends groupchat so all of them can see it too!!❤❤❤
That ending...... Ugh Bill you coward!! He literally went back from killing Ford like 4 times! And the little caress on theFord statue before he lets it go.... Im just imagining all the henchmaniacs watching this go down like 0-0
Ajjajaja thanks for sharing it! I think Henchmaniacs fear for their lives every time Bill gets mad 😬
I love this so much. There's a lot of stuff I like in this video but the one image that really hits me is Ford looking sympatheticly and intensely at the last piece of bills world. 🎯❤
SHAKING VIONWNRLY THIS IS INCREDIBLE I LOVE IT I LOVE IT
As a fan of epic the muscial, i fond hard to separate the context, but nonetheless upir animation was AMAZING and you made a good choice.
On of the details I've adored is that in his home dimention you showcase him as the only one with an eye. I think that was an amazing choice. Usually i see people draw the others with two eyes, but it's so much cooler that the "rare mutation" is literally the normalest thing about him for us.
They literally couldn't see the stars because they're 2D, they don't need to see in any other directions.
Very original and interesting detail!
Why did i write this at midnight there are so many typos ahahah
I love how at the end, it is now shown, but for him to catch him back, he probably had to realize what he was doing, regret it and leap to catch Ford back before coming to the conclusion he's traped in this feeling.
I really loved the animatic hihi, the little caress of his finger at the end almost KILLED ME BWAHAHAHAH
DAMN THIS IS SO GOOD???!?!?!?!? I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THS ANIMATIC !!!
GAH THE WAY I VISIBLY GASPED AT THE END LIKE WHAT
The emotions going through Bill during this entire animatic holy SHIT
This animatic is amazing and feels like it really explores their characters well, Bill it ain’t gonna work between you two and you know it but he can’t let go?? GOD
Again everything about this was amazing, and I’m also glad to see an animatic that includes the machine that makes Ford’s mind harder to decipher. Not many people remember that thing
Thank you!! Yeah, since there's so much lore around those two, it made it way easier to come up with the scenes :D
2:10 I was actually almost about to cry. Beautiful. New favorite animatic Gravity Falsl animatic... I'mma eat it now.... NOM
Bro, this is so good! Expressions! Motions! The tiny details! This is perfect!
I SCREAMED INTO MY PILLOW WHEN I SAW THE TITLE OF THE VIDEO AHDHSHXH! I NEVER KNEW THIS WAS WHAT I NEEDED UNTIL NOW AAAAAAA
This is SO amazing. I absolutely adore the portrayal of both bill and fords perspectives. The scene’s of bill possessing ford are STUNNING and they show how much pain it cause ford to become corrupted like that. People argue that he’s a bad person, and caused weirdmaggedon due to his lack of trust in others but I’d like to argue that although he’s not great, the BoB reveals so much trauma he endured while he was in a relationship with bill. And speaking of which, I’m stunned by the breathtaking representation of bill in this animatic. I love how he is clearly in the wrong but it still shows he also endured a lot of trauma and there are explanations for his actions, not justifications. Overall AMAZING, I love the cold, hard truth of billford instead of a lot of the fluff that’s been going around in the fandom. You’ve earned a new sub!
Thank you! Bill's flashbacks are from the good times while Ford's flashbacks remember the pain
