FRIENDS ON THE OTHER SIDE | The Winds End Animatic

It's finally here! Actually I wanted to upload this animatic about a week ago at first, but real life happened haha
This animatic is about Riptidesmith's (in this case Riptidepaw still) and Roseeater's first encounter. Small Riptide is travelling to the MireClan territory with a few of his clanmates for the first time. Curiously he strays off from his group just to run into Roseeater, who doesn't seem too surprised about the young apprentice wandering around in his territories.
The Wind's End is a OC story losely based on warriors by ‪@Luyeshin‬ and me. Those already familiar with the characters will most likely know them from her channel, as I didn't really make much content about my part of the story this far. Hopefully this will change though, as I plan to release more content in the nearer future :D
I had a lot of fun experimenting with this animatic and hope you'll enjoy!

The hands going "We cool? We cool." And giving him a fistbump before moving away from him was funny

[@ray_nee]

I had a lot of fun with the hands hehe

[@silly_pawss]

silly little fist bump :3

[@RaoaRahaga]

i noticed that had to come to comments to see who else did

[@starpetite]

oh my god. the dynamic movement, the camera pans, the perspective of certain shots, the personified hands(paws)... this is just jawdropping

[@ray_nee]

Aaaah thank you so much!!

[@jaryke]

0:51 loved the hand movement there 😂😂

[@ray_nee]

Thank you, had a lot of fun to make them kinda goofy :D

[@SparkclawStudios]

THE HAND PAWS POOR RIPTIDE LMAO HE WAS TRYING TO GET AWAY

[@ray_nee]

Yeah he’s such a poor bean there hahahaha

[@Sparroet]

HOT DIGGITY DAMN this is so clear and clean. going insane over the spin and tree shots

[@Rosiewarriorscats]

This song makes so much sense for Roseeater!

[@ray_nee]

Yeah right? :D I heard it and instantly thought of him

[@Fros.7y]

You did a phenomenal job putting the viewer into Riptides' perspective I felt like I there with him! The expressions, the angles (and the 3D?!), the lip sync all look beautiful in your style!! Amazing job! I can't stop watching this, my fav part is definitely the fist bump 0:52

[@ray_nee]

Thank you so much Frosty!! Happy that you’ve enjoyed it :D

[@scourgelover7276]

I have to see this finished. With the character designs. This is incredible.

[@Blixemi]

Ahh I LOVE this!!!

[@graveyard_penpal]

SO GOOD. My favorite parts are the bit where Roseeater circles around and around Riptidepaw, and the tree climbing part. All of it was so well done, but those two especially stood out to me! ❤ Can’t wait to see more.

[@axelf9947]

Seeing Riptide as just a confused little guy is so silly….. just a huffy puffy little man i love him

[@kalublah]

Ray this is so good, it's SO CRAZY. WOWWWW.

[@ray_nee]

Aaaah thank you so much Kalu ❤ ;w;

[@dramidragon]

[@ray_nee]

AWW thank you so much!!
I kinda thought about calling it a sketch AMV but kinda vibed more with Animatic, as I did not really animate every shot here :’D

[@hotchocolateandconchas]

THIS IS THE BEST ANIMATIC IVE EVER SEEN 😭 U DESERVE MILLIONS!?!?

[@KK25Gaming]

Well I'm absolutely going to have to steal that gridding trick you used for panning/background movement. Never seen that before. Great Animatic

[@rickypitbull919]

[@ray_nee]

Thank you!! Actually those two are amongst my favorites too :D

[@donnaroe]

[@sabertooth777-zzZ]

So cool, but sad

[@renperkins]

Roseeater reminds me of an oc of mine named Kelpie, a loner who joined a clan and kept his name.

[@elazayth]

A) Omg that frog is so cute!
B) The 3D backgrounds for turnaround add so much quality, that's absolutely insane, looking incredible! How'd you do that? :D

[@ray_nee]

Thank you so much!! :D I actually recorded a camera circling around an image plane with the grid in blender :) For Riptide I also took a 3D cat as reference for the perspektive of the turn

[@elazayth]

[@BENWELLAnimation]

Ahh its finally finished. Really cool! The camera movement in 1:02 and 1:12 are amazing, you used 3D for that do I see this right?

[@ray_nee]

Thank you so much!! Yes I used Blender for the grid, the tree and as a reference for the turn on one of the characters :D It was actually very fun!

[@BENWELLAnimation]

@@ray_neeReally cool!!

[@fluff.6965]

what did you use for animating such as editing? (The Screen moving)

[@ray_nee]

For this animatic I worked mainly with the camera feature in Clip Studio Paint EX! :D

[@DustyHognoseSnake31245]

HOW DID YOU DO THE GRID :o

[@ray_nee]

I put a flat image of a grid as a plane in blender and rendered it with a camera movement :)

[@Lillith_Prime]

What program do you use?

[@ray_nee]

Blender and Clip Studio Paint EX! To comp everything together I also used After Effects

[@shatteredmoonstudies]

Owowoowoowo

[@Just_Petrel]

0:51 - my fav moment:)

[@PeixeAzule-gm1jv]

How you make that turn in 0:57??

[@ray_nee]

I’m not sure if you mean the turnaround a few seconds later, but I used blender for the grid, the perspective and placement of Riptidepaw! Then I placed Roseeater in the shot afterwards in Clip Studio and kinda just eyeballed the rest

[@PeixeAzule-gm1jv]
