"without much regard to the moon or the stars" crowley is so affected by aziraphale's departure that he doesn't even care about the stars anymore, even though they were his pride and joy during creation.
I've loved this song since I was a little kid and I've been waiting for the chance to use it as an animatic for years! I think it fits the two of them better than most lol
I'm obsessed with the fluidity of when "hate" comes stumbling in. It's so well done!!! Ah!!! I'm a big can of emotions, and I cannot thank you enough for sharing your skill and love
the song choice is CRAZY! tho i feel like it’s cruelly unfair to call crowley the Hate since he proved in s2 he’s literally carrying the Love within his entire being but it’s so pretty, you did a wonderful job! thank you!
Incredible art style. Crowley's stumble through the door was so smooth and the whole piece was glorious! Thank you for this beautiful work, and thank you for introducing me to this song!
WOAH this is crazy good, your animation is so lovely!!!!!!!! like gosh, every movement is so full of life and love, the way they hold themselves, the expressions, it's all so succinct and amazing!!!!!!!!!!! i cannot express how much i love this, it's so cute and soft and heartbreaking (the lip touch, how dare) and healing, and you matched it up to the song so well. amazing job op i'm in love
This is,, so beautiful…. the song fits them so well, and your art style’s gorgeous,,! I specially enjoy the animated parts, and how nothing’s ever really static, if that makes sense? It must have taken you a while to make this! I also love how you convey their emotions and their relationship and it’s all so bittersweet and aaaaaaa
WHO THE HELL IS CHOPPING ONIONS RIGHT NOW!!! THIS IS SOOOO GOOD THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS MASTERPIECE 😭😭😭 I'M STILL COPING WITH S2 ENDING AND SOMEWHAT THIS LESSEN THE BITTERNESS AND PAIN IT LEFT 🥲
THIS IS SO GOOD!!!!! oh my god, i can tell a lot of love went into this -- cause it rlly shows!!! it's phenomenal. i love how mellow it felt, very much fitting the song. THE SONG, right. it's SO fitting, oh my god. love and hate... sobs into my handsss ill be thinking about this forever. really amazing for your first animatic as well
I'm glad you liked it! It's not necessarily my first animatic, but it is definitely the first one I've actually finished and felt confident in posting lol. All of it was done in Rough Animator on my ipad. I believe there is also a desktop app for it as well and it is phenomenally cheap as far as animation software goes. I'm sure there are other good alternatives, but this one got me through my thesis film and I'm used to the mechanics of it :)
me being an apathetic piece of shit, watching this and crying my eyes out. this is gorgeous, masterfully done and deserves more views. this last scene was animated so good, it was such a good culmination, it completely destroyed me and healed my heart at the same time. thank you so much for sharing your wonderful work with us❤️ and the song!! fits perfectly
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE MADE THE BEST GOOD OMENS ANIMATIC???? LITERALLY YOUR ART AND ANIMATION IS SO SMOOTH AND THE SONG WAS PERFECT AND EVERYTHING WAS MINDBLOWING 💕💕💕💕
NO BECAUSE ITS LITERALLY THEM HOLY SHIT WHAT A GALAXY BRAIN SONG CHOICE dude the speed at which I clicked on this video. Incredible work with the animation, you’ve perfectly captured not only the feel of the song but of the characters’ emotions, this is stunning
I love this so much, it’s so perfect for them but like- YALL. The line work and SIMPLE design of the characters is just so perfect I can’t even- like, I love it so much it’s just perfect. . Also Crowley’s face whilst underneath Aziraphale’s wing at Eden was funny, he looked very mischievous in that frame 🫶
Honestly I can see these two in a lot of avett brothers songs! I’ve been listening to them probably since I was born so it’s really cool to see some of my favorite things come together like this
I'm in the same boat! I've loved the avett brothers since I was a kid and there are a lot of fitting songs that I'm tempted to make animatics out of, but we will see if I have the drive to actually pull them off lol
Omg yesssss This song was one of the first i put on my ineffable husbands playlist after i finished season 2 Ive imagined an animatic of them with it ever since, but unfortunately my art skills are still not up to that It made me so happy to be recommended to this!! Your artstyle is really rpetty, and my heart melted at Aziraphale with Muriel - just a couple of book-loving angel nerds
i dont even know where to start. your animation is so fluid and gorgeous, the lip syncing is so fucking good, the shots and angles are so good, the story you tell is so fucking good. youre so good!!!!!!!!
If I’m being honest, I’ve never watched Good Omens before. However, I love the Avett Brothers and it’s always great to see people use their music in animatics. Fantastic job!
Holy heggin heaven! This!!! I've loved this song since i was a kid and you really did it justice. The framerate is ASTONISHING for such a long animatic, this must have taken ages but it's so worth it! Hold on this deserves a full-on shot by shot comment, one a those comin right up
THIS!! THIS and your ART and the way you draw them is so sos so so PERFECT!!! And the ANIMATIONS dear lord!! They are so FLUID and magical and fantastically wonderful!!!!
i heard this song earlier today and was thinking about them. lo and behold, i stumble onto this video. this is so lovely, and there is not enough praise i could sing for you to understand how much i adore it. your art style is so pretty too, and i love the way you drew the clouds! this video was just so fucking beautiful.
That's so beautiful, I'm going to send it to all my friends, who watched "Good omens"!! And the song suits them so well, unbelievable. Thank you very much, I can't find the words to describe how I love them
First thing I gotta say: the color scheme is PEAK. The blues and whites fit the vibe of the song so well. And HOLY SHIT I just noticed how you're using the lighter and darker blues to contrast Crowley and Aziraphale?? Aziraphale is colored in slightly lighter than Crowley and in the scenes where they're apart his background is a lot lighter, and in the END THE COLORS MIX... AND the colors DARKEN as Crowley's scenes go on, which shows both Crowley getting depressed and the passage of time into night? That's incredible. Astounding. You are a master of your craft. I also love how quiet and understated the first few backgrounds are. And the shot of the letter burning reflected in Crowley's glasses is just *chef's kiss* I think the way you've timed the shots to the music gives them a very nice slow pace. it's a great choice The shot of Crowley's hands at 'i barely even noticed' mirrors how Aziraphale holds his hands later and it's like... YOU TOTALLY DID MY GUY That Aziraphale walking shot is such a flex. So smooth!!! AUGH.. Shot of Aziraphales eye's to mirror shot f crowley's eyes.. afshgalks OMG the syncing of 'when she comes down' to the elevator button being pressed is so good. and wait holy shit the lightness in Aziraphale's background is bc he's IN HEAVEN. holy fuck holy shit that's so clever???And the BUTTONS ARE COLOR CODED TOO??? 'a reason to live and a reason to grow' being shots of Aziraphale and crowley.. my HEART I CANT My fave bit of all tho is the way you do the three pan outs at 3:54 in perfect time with the music it's just. SO GOOD
Genuinely this is the first time someone has put so much thought into analyzing my work since I've graduated and it makes me so happy! I spent maybe an embarrassingly long amount of time on this lol but im so glad you enjoyed it!
season 2 did a number on my heart but this is absolutely not helping jokes aside, i absolutely adore this!! the style is great and man does it tug at my heartstrings
**Sobs** This is beautiful and gorgeous and I love it SO FKING MUCH. Also everyone’s talking about Crowley’s stumble through the door (that was amazing don’t get me wrong, the fluidity was gorgeous I agree). But is NOBODY gonna mention 2:37 where the outline of Crowley on the hood of his car makes him look like he’s shaking cus he’s crying so hard!? That fking broke me and I think I about cried too. I know it prolly wasn’t intentional but damn I love that shaky outline style in animation; it adds so much life to the characters imo. Like they’re breathing if you squint hard enough.
i absolutely love the way you used the lyrics in this song. and how beautifully this song encapsulates hate and love being something together in life, i love your art too! your lines and style seem like you had alot of passion
i have loved this song for as long as i can remember, and as a teen, thats pretty much my whole life. i remember wanting to make something like this since 2019 since season 1 came out, i just never had the skill, i suppose. thank you so much for actually making my vision! im glad its something i can actually watch now :)
This is so perfect! I had never heard this song before but how amazingly well does it fit them?! And the animation was gorgeous. Simply lovely all around.
Aziraphale greeting Muriel happily and praising them for keeping the shop so well was so fucking precious
Fucking yes that was adorable, thank you. I want hugs from the Angel boi too- 😭
"without much regard to the moon or the stars"
crowley is so affected by aziraphale's departure that he doesn't even care about the stars anymore, even though they were his pride and joy during creation.
IT HAPPENED, IT FINALLY HAPPENED, thank you for being the person to at long last make an animatic for them with this damn song 😭
I've loved this song since I was a little kid and I've been waiting for the chance to use it as an animatic for years! I think it fits the two of them better than most lol
@@illustrious-slimeman-mf8jr Look I have a nine hour good omens playlist I've been adding to for years and this was one of the FIRST songs on it
I’ve never heard this song before but now I love it.
I'm obsessed with the fluidity of when "hate" comes stumbling in. It's so well done!!! Ah!!! I'm a big can of emotions, and I cannot thank you enough for sharing your skill and love
HOLY MOLY??? WHERE IS EVERYONE??? THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND UNDERRATED I AM SO ANGRY. GREAT JOB!!!! 💞💖
Omg YES where *is* everybody!
the song choice is CRAZY! tho i feel like it’s cruelly unfair to call crowley the Hate since he proved in s2 he’s literally carrying the Love within his entire being but it’s so pretty, you did a wonderful job! thank you!
"Hate" is probably just bitterness, even in the song.
neither of them can really accurately or fairly be called "hate," I think it was just a matter of which lines of the songs fit who better
I think because he was just angry
4:30 WOOOOAH I think that was so smooth it jump scared me 😂
I’ve watched this an unhinged number of times in the past few days it’s just unbearably lovely
Incredible art style. Crowley's stumble through the door was so smooth and the whole piece was glorious! Thank you for this beautiful work, and thank you for introducing me to this song!
I clicked on this like "oooo pretty thumbnail!" and then 5 minutes later I'm bawling like a baby (in a positive way)
This Is devastatingly beautiful, and GOSH so well animated. The artstyle, the coloring, just EVERYTHING scratches my brain the right Way. Lovely work!
This song is so them-coded, I’ve loved it since I was a kid and I’m so glad someone made an animatic of this!!
WOAH this is crazy good, your animation is so lovely!!!!!!!! like gosh, every movement is so full of life and love, the way they hold themselves, the expressions, it's all so succinct and amazing!!!!!!!!!!! i cannot express how much i love this, it's so cute and soft and heartbreaking (the lip touch, how dare) and healing, and you matched it up to the song so well. amazing job op i'm in love

The SONG the SONG choice is what made my heart crumble
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING!!!! THIS NEEDS MORE VIEWS HELLO??? THIS WHOLE ANIMATIC IS GORGEOUS
FINALLY A FIX-IT ANIMATION.
WHO THE HELL IS CHOPPING ONIONS RIGHT NOW!!! THIS IS SOOOO GOOD THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS MASTERPIECE 😭😭😭 I'M STILL COPING WITH S2 ENDING AND SOMEWHAT THIS LESSEN THE BITTERNESS AND PAIN IT LEFT 🥲

i'm broke but i checked out the website and there's something so endearing about it, i'll definitely check the free trial out!!!
WOWWWW this is honestly, without a doubt the best good omens animatic this fanbase has. amazing work!
i hesitate to even call this an animatic since its completely animated !
[algorithm boost because I want this to do better and I cannot express my love for it]
OMG THIS NEEDS TO BE SEEN BY THE EYES OF EVERYONE!!!! THIS MADE MY EYE WEAP
0:38-0:44 When the song said "When hate reads the letter, then throws it away" I YELLED NOOOOOOOOO
WHEN THE LYRICS SAID TO TRUST AND IT CUT TO THE MAGIC SHOW MY HEART FLUTTERED 😭
me being an apathetic piece of shit, watching this and crying my eyes out. this is gorgeous, masterfully done and deserves more views. this last scene was animated so good, it was such a good culmination, it completely destroyed me and healed my heart at the same time. thank you so much for sharing your wonderful work with us❤️ and the song!! fits perfectly
I feel you 100% I actually haven’t stopped crying since I finished the last season. So glad my pain isn’t alone
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE MADE THE BEST GOOD OMENS ANIMATIC???? LITERALLY YOUR ART AND ANIMATION IS SO SMOOTH AND THE SONG WAS PERFECT AND EVERYTHING WAS MINDBLOWING 💕💕💕💕

EVEN JUST YOUR CHOICE OF SALUTATION ON THE LETTER IS MAKING ME BAWL 😭😭 HE IS HIS FOREVER 😭😭😭😭
I love this so much, it’s so perfect for them but like- YALL.
The line work and SIMPLE design of the characters is just so perfect I can’t even- like, I love it so much it’s just perfect.
.
Also Crowley’s face whilst underneath Aziraphale’s wing at Eden was funny, he looked very mischievous in that frame 🫶
Sobbing???? This is absolutely beautiful, im literally speechless lmao
Wow this made me cry
Honestly I can see these two in a lot of avett brothers songs! I’ve been listening to them probably since I was born so it’s really cool to see some of my favorite things come together like this
I'm in the same boat! I've loved the avett brothers since I was a kid and there are a lot of fitting songs that I'm tempted to make animatics out of, but we will see if I have the drive to actually pull them off lol
Crowley says "I'm sorry."
Aziraphale said "I forgive you."
THIS IS INSANELY BEAUTIFUL OMG... THIS SONG IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR THEM, AND YOUR ART IS JUST STUNNING, I'M NOT CRYING, YOU ARE...

You're gonna make me cry (nearly did when Aziraphale touched his fingers to his lips WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DO THAT-) /pos
