This video was partially inspired by a video made by ‪@KitsuKitx‬. Check it out here!: • Call You Mine - Raya x...
Also special thanks to my friend Faben (‪@FableSecrets‬) for helping me out with the typography on this video!
Welp. Looks like I have a new OTP now.
So I FINALLY got around to watching Nimona and, like most others, I fucking LOVED IT. And while almost all of the movie has themes and characters I want to edit with eventually, these two NEEDED to be first. I’ve expressed many times on this channel before that lovers (or friends) to enemies is one of my all time favorite troupes. I like TRAGEDIES! I like THE DOWNFALL! I just think the conflict and angst sticks really well when the characters already know and care for each other on some level. So OF COURSE the moment I saw that the movie was doing this I fell in love. And this movie did it VERY well. I was always rooting for this couple but I also would understand why Ambrosius had a hard time figuring out what to do. Also, it’s just so cool to see an animated movie with this troupe with a canon gay couple. I like that it’s explicit, I like that it doesn’t dance around it. They were boyfriends and then shit hit the fan and now they don’t know what the future holds. Honestly this movie in general just does a lot of cool things I don’t see animated movies do very often, especially ones directly marketed to families. And I love it so so much!
In terms of the video, man I went through like 3 different playlists and narrowed it down to 5 different songs. That’s not an exaggeration either. I had songs where I like the vibe and instrumentals but the lyrics didn’t really stick. I had songs where maybe only half of the lyrics worked. And then I had songs where the lyrics were perfect but I wasn’t vibing with the instrumentals. Ultimately I went with this song because it is a song I’ve been itching to use for a while, but never thought I’d get the chance because I never had any couples in mind (usually I’d imagine this song going with my OCs). Also the lyrics worked really well (“bring it all back to the bar downtown” was what really convinced me). One of the reasons I’m really glad I went for this song is because I was able to use voiceovers and sound effects! I really wanted to put in a lot of their angsty lines in here and I don’t think I would’ve been able to do that had I gone for any of my other choices. Because of how many scenes the two actually have together, I was worried I wasn’t going to have enough variety in footage considering the video is almost 2 minutes. I definitely had to fudge it in parts, but overall I’m pretty proud of how the whole thing turned out! Enjoy!
