Ches

That’s all I have for today. I hope you found this explanation insightful. I’d like to thank you again for coming to my TED Talk. 🙃

By doing this, I wanted to show that time had passed and subtly imply that Kaname and Himeru were sharing the same dream at that moment. As Kaname instinctively wanted to reach out to his brother to comfort him.

Lastly, near the end, it’s not immediately obvious, but I made Kaname’s hair longer and had him wear the hospital gown. (Here’s another drawing of him with these details.)

Apart from the text, the pixels and black scribble also illustrate Himeru’s detachment from his identity.

Glitch effects were added to represent Himeru’s discombobulation and turmoil as he faced the situation presented to him.

I also try to make match cuts, such as when I show Himeru as Kaname and then Kaname himself. I also use images of hands reaching out and holding hands to create a seamless transition and show their connection.

At the beginning, Kaname never looked directly at the screen. The first time he did was when he was injured. I wanted to convey that it was Himeru’s perspective when he made direct contact with Kaname.

Other details:
It’s quite self-explanatory that the story here depicts Himeru’s mind or dreamland as he grapples with regret and a desire to care for Kaname. This realisation comes too late when the students attack Kaname, causing him to fall into a coma.

Even when Himeru stands with Kaname in the light, a shadow remains over him. The shadow implies that Himeru still has lingering doubts about whether he was able to reach out to Kaname at all.

I also made Himeru be in the dark to illustrate how he unintentionally isolates himself from others.

Another prominent detail I add is that Kaname is always shining in the light, while Himeru is cast in shadows. This reflects how Himeru sees Kaname as naive and innocent, while he perceives himself as a mere shadow, destined to take his place.

-Then the stark contrast between the dark green and the white background creates a bleak atmosphere, emphasising the sudden shift in Kaname’s state.

Lighting & colour:

-Light and colour played a crucial role for the mood for each scene. For example, blue is associated with calmness, sadness, and depression, making it an appropriate choice for the hospital scene and the beginning scene where Hiremu reflects on what happened.

-as he feels conflicted about his own actions.

There are times the text is always placed at the front of Himeru. This is to reinforce his hiding and create ambiguity about his identity. Because he perceives himself to be insignificant.

There are two colours used for the outline:
Light blue = Kaname
Dark blue = Himeru

I used a different font when applying the dark blue outline. This emphasises key words and provides glimpses of Himeru revealing himself-

Notice how there’s no outline of the text at the beginning. The blue outline only appears after Kaname is injured, indicating Himeru’s attempt to take Kaname’s identity while he’s recovering in the hospital.

Typography:
Since I’m studying graphic design. Typography class taught me that type can convey meaning. So with this, I chose a handwritten style font for the text to make it seem more personal to the viewer as it goes through Himeru’s pov.

- as he struggles to be himself and is not used to showing love to others. Throughout the video I want to convey his regrets, doubts and wish to be there for Kaname.

Just gonna yap about the subtext and symbolism when making this animatic cause why not

(Looking back I realised how over excessive I am with the details 😅)

To start off, the reason why I chose this song is because I thought it suited well for Himeru-

AHH THANK YOU animating that part was hard yet the most rewarding, since I had to colour in 48 frames on procreate dreams.

Thank you so much!! Animating the tears for Himeru was hard but I liked how it turned out in the end. 😊

Hehe did this vid make you cry?

Because I did (╥﹏╥)

Animating this scene was a challenge, especially with Himeru's hair and expressions. But I'm really proud of how it turned out! Now I just have to tackle colouring 192 frames 😔

Finally reached the last part of the animatic! The scene with Kaname and this one are the only animated parts, so I'm excited for you guys to see how they fit together.

I had a dream that I was drawing Tighnari and Cyno and I wasn't sure which one is taller? I was like "okay I'll just check it on the wiki" but then I woke up and realized that hoyo doesn't specify characters' height. It looked like this
