- in Mushu’s voice I LIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!! Am I cool enough to join MAPs yet?
Making this PMV has been a journey. All 18 months of it. That’s right, this took me a year and a half to complete. (Note to self: never do that again.) Just kidding! I’ll definitely have more big projects like this in the future! Just…not for a good long while. I’ve felt pretty terrible about my lack of activity on CZcams, and working on (and off) this video has been a pretty big part of that. Therefore, I plan to work on a lot of smaller projects, which equals more uploads for you guys! (Hopefully. Don’t quote me on that.) In the near future, you can expect to see speedpaints, personal art, smaller animations, storyboards and animatics, edits, and hey(!) maybe even some MAP parts! :) I hope you guys will stick with me until then! And here’s a big shoutout to the 1,521 subscribers who’ve stuck with me this long, lol. You guys are awesome! Until next time!
Programs Used: Photoshop CC with a Wacom tablet and After Effects
Time taken: a year and half with some breaks in-between
Song Used: If I Believe You by The 1975
Bonus Information/Retrospection about the video can be found here: www.deviantart.com/cranberryt...
(Be Ye Warned! I have a lot to say!)
If you don’t like reading long posts but still want to know what's going on, here’s the short version of the story, Moonkitti style!
Scenes from the city to the forest represent the rogue Sasha’s journey to the clans, where she dumps her two kits, Mothwing and Hawkfrost, in Riverclan and then takes off.
“What now?” asks Mothwing.
“Blackmail, of course!” answers Hawkfrost.
Hawfrost sneaks out past his bedtime to trick Riverclan’s local old guy into making his sister the medicine cat apprentice, and the old guy buys it.
“You need a teacher. I can show you the ways of the Force,” the old guys says to Mothwing.
“Um…okay,” Mothwing agrees. “As long as you don’t abandon me like my mom did, that sounds fine!”
“All according to plan,” Hawkfrost says, while smiling evilly in public. For some reason, nobody finds this strange.
Literally one second later the old guy ascends to heaven on the fifty yard line, leaving Mothwing all alone.
“What now?” she asks.
“Blackmail, of course!” answers Hawkfrost, emerging dramatically from the fog machines he set up beforehand.
Mothwing becomes an atheist, deciding that if Starclan existed they wouldn’t let her brother pick on her all the time.
In the next scene, Tigestar Clone #2 is now dead, thanks to the efforts of Tigerstar Clone #1. But this is warrior cats, and people die every day, so everyone pretty much goes right back to normal.
With her brother gone, things are going great for Mothwing! She gets to keep her job + a new apprentice! :O Mistyfoot smiles trustingly at her. “Isn’t it so great that we have a God-fearing medicine cat?” :) Mothwing does the anime sweat droop thing before leaving to pretend to speak to dead cats she doesn’t believe exist.
At the Moonpool, Jayfeather calls her bluff using his physic powers, but luckily Leafpool, who’s in on the whole thing, convinces him not to tell anyone.
Later, Mistystar gets her extra lives and discovers that Mothwing does NOT believe in Starclan when she doesn’t show up for her promotion party. She fires Mothwing immediately.
…And then changes her mind a day later after her son accidentally becomes a chew toy for one of the neighborhood dogs. Mistystar realizes that getting rid of their best doctor was a bad idea, and lets Mothwing have her job again.
Mothwing literally watches ghost cats fight each other, but decides to remain an atheist and insists to everyone else that the fourth series was just a mass hallucination.
Her clan still likes her, but she feels out of place among the other medicine cats because she’s an Omen-of-the-Stars denier. She walks off to ask the sky what’s the matter with her, and the sky answers by briefly showing her a constellation of a moth. “This doesn’t help,” says Mothwing.

This is the most beautiful warrior cats pmv I've ever seen. Like, I'm-tearing-up beautiful. The backgrounds are amazing. This is amazing. I want everyone I know to watch this immediately.
Moonkitti
I agree, the specific detail gives you that one happy feeling that almost nobody else has. It’s moving and it’s really fantastic how it turned out
Came cause of you and it's amazing
Thank you for sending me here
Thank you for giving a shout-out to this artist because this is the most breath-taking work of art I've ever seen, good lORD. I'm so glad I got so see this ahh
IKR
3:13-3:28
**Sees cat spirit literally rise out of its body and fight off a bunch of freaking demons**
“Naw, this whole Starclan thing is still B.S.”
I basically have the same problem with that, tbh. XD
TheDragonCat99 Right
TheDragonCat99 Read Mothwings secret.
to me mothwing mostly doesn't believe in the power starclan has and doesn't trust them.
i also feel like she doesn't trust them anymore because of hawkfrost
@@qodess8050 ..
I don’t think I blinked for the entire video cos I was like “HOLY HOT DAMN THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IVE EVER SEEN”
WOW
JUST....WOW
This is so amazing in every way? You deserve SO MUCH praise for this masterpiece! I hope you're proud cause this is just absolutely beautiful. Beautiful execution on everything! You backgrounds especially blow me away. I know I'll be looking at this video for a long time for inspiration in my own work. Congratulations getting a project like this done!
Thank you so much! :D
Do a Simmy Speaks on this!!! :0
Okay so I had to take a brisk sprint around my neighbourhood before I commented because I'm feeling A LOT OF THINGS RIGHT NOW.
I'm literally scrambling to pick my jaw up off the floor right now. I'm just in awe. This has to be one of the most gorgeous PMVs I've ever come across. Within the first few seconds featuring the backgrounds I was already so hooked. You've got such a way of taking this world we know and just adding so much magic and wonder to it? Wow. It's outstanding holy cow.
And the EMOTION you built in this. The spot specifically where I had to pause the video and like catch my breath was the shot of Mothwing's eyes on "Show yourself"
I'm sorry! I'm trying not to ramble and it's not working LOL!
Thank you so much for taking the time to do this. It's incredible. Plus it's about the best cat in the series, Mothbaby. Pair that with your gorgeous storytelling and you've got the perfect storm.
Amazing work. I'm so excited to subscribe and see more!
Oh my gosh, thank you! ;V; Please, ramble away, lol. It means so much to me as an artist to be able to make people FEEL things, you know? Mothwing is such a complex and interesting character, and if this video helps sparks some new appreciation for her, than I think my work is done! Thanks a ton for the detailed comment!
Blixemi that must of took a while to write 😀🐱🐈
Cranberry the Cat the animation at the end was _incredible!!!_ thank you so so much.
If there is mothwing then there is Blixemi and that is a fact 😃
Your videos are awesome aswell!
HUGAHH HOW TJE HECK DOES THI nOT HABE MORE VIEWS THAN THIS

BEST?!?!?
Oh my god!! The amount of detail and effort put into this is unBELIEVEable (haha see what i did there) but oh man this is do lovely!! definitely one of my fave pms out there!
ALSO THAT SUDDEN ANIMATED SEGMENT TOOK ME BY SURPRISE IM SCREAMING ITS SO GOOD
PUNS!!!!! You are now my favorite commenter, lol. XD Thanks so much for the comment. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for more animation in the future! :D
An instant classic in this fandom by far. The environments made it feel like you were really there with Mothwing on her journey through a rough life. The animated segment was spectacular. I can't stop watching this. Instant subscription; I wait with bated breath for your next video!
Thanks for the comment and the subscription! :D I'll be sure to have something out again soon!
Oh my gosh?!?
The sheer amount of work and passion you put into this is absolutely incredible and I'm... *lies down to recover*
So many characters and dynamic shots, not to mention that aniMATION at the end - that was amazing. And the story you told with the song was 🙏👌
Wow. ❤
I'M SPEECHLESS??? Thank you so much!!!
oh my god this is a masterpiece. And look at his beautiful backgrounds oh my I have no words !! This is the best AMV/PMV on Mothwing I ever seen.
( and this lipsync At the ending zedxezdsq aaahhh amazing)
Thank you so much!
Yeah it's so good animated. It's truly the Best of Mothwing I've eher seen. I'm the same opinion
THIS CONFIRMS THAT MOTHWING NEEDS HER OWN BOOK DAMN IT! I'M CRYING THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL
I've always found her interesting, but working on this has made me love her even more! Thanks for the feedback!
Cranberry the Cat You're welcome! :)
This is really well done! All of the pictures are beautiful, the animation is great and it all goes so well with the song! Fantastic work!
Thank you so much! :D Your work is a huge inspiration to me.
ew it's the kid liker 🤢🤢
Oof
@@cranberrythecat4555 aged like milk
my eyeballs have been blessed this is literally the most gorgeous thing ive ever seen
AAAA ;V; Thank you!
Pixar, please come collect your student
/ SCREAMS FROM SEEN /
That's just great! I can not even describe it in words, how beautiful it is! Especially I am amazed by these worked backgrounds and the final animation, it's just wonderful! I want to review it again and again! QwQ I'm in love with this video!
This is the most incredible PMV I've ever seen! The backgrounds, the style, the animation at the end, it's just gorgeous and completely flawless! You should be incredibly proud of yourself! You're extremely talented! All that time really paid off and shows in the final product. Makes me think I need to be more patient with what I do. You've REALLY shown what can be achieved if you take your time!
WHAAAAAATTTT THIS IS SO.... GOOD... IM HONESTLY SPEECHLESS EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. THE EDITING. THE DESIGNS. THE PACING. THE ANIMATION AT THE END. IM SCREAMING ????????
Oh my Lord. I know I am beating a dead horse here, but works of art like this need to be commemorated. How have you not taken this community by storm yet? This is by far the most amazing PMV I have ever seen. I've never seen such beautiful, highly detailed backgrounds that captures the spirit of the Warriors home forest before. The Disney style to the characters, and you even went above and beyond to include a little fantastic animation too...! The only problem with this PMV is that my expectations of Warriors videos are going to be unreasonably high from now on. If anyone is worthy of living up to Alli Kat's legacy, its you.
Oh, wow! AlliKat was one of my biggest inspirations as a young artist (all the way back in 2011!), and being told that I'm worthy of the legacy she's left on the Warriors fandom means more to me than I can ever say. Thank you so much for the comment!
Two years later and it's still the best
This is up there with some of my favorite pmv's of all time everything about this is absolutely s t u n n i n g
18 months really paid off because this is really amazing and had me in tears.
Just-amazing job im in aw e
HOLY SHIT THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING
i forgot everything that happens in warriors but this is the most beautiful thing i've ever seen
This was stunning. One of the best PMVs I have ever seen. Thank you so much
THIS IS PHENOMENAL, I HAVE NO WORDS. It's not often our community sees a gem like this, but this is incredible. All the backgrounds and editing, the character designs and bit of animation at the end are so inspiring. The time went into this is crazy but absolutely paid off! All those stripes, man! There's so many backgrounds in this that show up for less than a second, the amount of dedication in this PMV is absurd and it's flawless. Remarkable work!!
The stripes nearly killed me, lol. I had to make sure to limit myself there, since my tabby designs are so complicated. Thanks a ton for the kind words! ;V;
Hey guys! It's only been three days since I uploaded this video, and the response has swept me off my feet. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect this to become as popular as it is. I've read every single comment, but there's no way I could reply to every single one so I'll say it here: thank you all so much for the incredible feedback! And a huge shoutout to everyone who put the word out on Twitter as well. I'm so proud to be a part of this community, and I hope to have many more videos out in the future. Thanks again!
No problem. I love this video so much!
It's a masterpiece that I feel I've been blessed to watch
well I keep watching it because IT'S HECKIN AWESOME
Cranberry the Cat Keep doing what your doing, its amazing!
No problem!! This video was not rushed you put every little deatail that you could to make this work even better! So beautiful and its just unbelieveable! Your a great artist
This was beautiful! The background art made me feel connected to the setting, something I could imagine as true, and the song- I’ve never heard it before this but it’s amazing! Perfect for Mothwing’s struggle with StarClan and going through Mistystar demoting her once she’d found out about Mothwing’s lack of communication. I’d almost forgotten about Willowshine, having RiverClan be so isolated in the latest books, but this made me realize how important she was to Mothwing. Also, the animation towards the end was so smooth! I expected this to be a full PMV, but that surprised me and I’m sure it took ages to perfect as I’ve heard animation is a bit stressful. Please continue to create, even if it takes months to upload something new, this takes time and it obviously pays off.
I learned so much about backgrounds and landscapes while working on this, and I'm glad the effort shows! Speaking of backgrounds, you're right about Riverclan being almost nonexistent in the recent books. Hopefully they'll get more screen time (page time???) in future books. Thank you for comment; it totally made my day!
This is so heart wrenching and wonderful ;w; It left me shocked! I've got goosebumps omg The backgrounds, the markings, the shading, lighting, detail, transitions, detail, everything. You're incredible! Absolutely well worth the time and effort, I cannot wait to see what you make next and am totally wow'd. Astonishing work! ouo
This is absolutely gorgeous.......
Haha, thanks!
I most certainly will! Your work really inspires me ;u;
Cranberry the Cat I know I will!
i think this is... one of the very few times the raw talent in a map/warriors community animation actually brought me to tears.. holy shit. im speechless
lol well you will always be welcome in my maps for sure XDD
THIS IS A FANTASTIC PIECE OF EPICNESS YOU CREATED HERE!! Really nice job!! its so full of details and atmosphair hnngggg i totally love it ;u; really epicly done!!! it was worth the time! be proud of this
THIS IS GOOOOORGEOUS AND I LOVE THE 1975 IM SO GLAD THEIR MUSIC IS BEING USED FOR MASTERPIECES LIKE THESE. THANK YOU SO MUCH
OMG, ANOTHER 1975 FAN!!!! HAI~ Lol. I'm glad you liked the video and the music choice! 8D
YOURE REALLY MAKING ME WANNA MAKE A PMV WITH A 1975 SONG BECAUSE OF THIS
join the club m8 this has motivated me BIG TIME (sorry for comment jumping)
HOLYYYY WHAAAT 😍 literally the most beautiful warriors pmv I ever ever seen, the song, the story telling the transitions it’s so beautiful and I just love this. Where are your subscribes? I’m calling the police
I remember when this first came out. I was there to upload and comment the first day, albeit on an account I no longer have access to. I was heartbroken when it was taken down. I'm so thrilled to return here to find it back. This is one of the most stunning warriors PMVs to ever exist, and the emotional impact of each frame will forever resonate with me. I remember how much this inspired me and made me love Mothwing even more than I already did. It meant a huge deal to me, and I never could bring myself to watch the cover fully. No shade to the cover, but the incredible feelings just weren't there. This is a brilliant masterpiece, and always has been. It makes me so happy to be able to watch it again in all its original glory. :)
You summed up my exact thoughts perfectly :)
Honestly im waiting for this to get more views. The art is amazing. They style is breath taking and Mothwing, (besides the Leafpoolship) is a very underated character. You brough out so mucj emotion into this. I am lost for words and how stunning your art work is. Please never stop because this. Thid is just amazing
Thank you so much! Her story is one of my favorites ^^
Absolutely breathtaking. I’ve watched this several times already and I suspect there will be more in the future because there’s just SO MUCH TO SOAK UP. You can’t possibly get everything in one view, and that’s what makes this PMV so spectacular. It’s a gift that keeps on giving. You’ve raised the bar in this community for sure. Thank you for sharing your time and talent and for inspiring us all!
“I’m a lesbian kiss”
Leafpool: can confirm
this is absolutely phenomenal! mothwing means a lot to me, and you showcased her arc so beautifully, from the characters to the background to the editing... there's nothing i could possibly write to explain how amazing this is.
3 years later and this is still one of the most stunning Pmv’s that I’ve ever laid my eyes on in the warrior cat community! I love coming back to watch it over and over again because it’s overall just so calming !! I remember when I originally saw it when it was first released and how excited I was, to this day it still is absolutely immaculate and one of my favorite PMV’s !!
It really is a shame that people aren’t appreciating your art work as much simply because it no longer has the voice that they think would be good for a fictional cat!
After having been here from the semi-start and having seen the old link with the muted version I’m so glad you got the copyright issues figured out! Don’t get your hopes down, just give it some time to get back into everyones recommendations and to grow on people, it’s wasn’t till it came back in mine that I knew it even had changed. Also as someone who isn’t a mothwing super fan it was very nice to have the extra scenes at the end to explain what happened after the battle! Finally seeing the end line up was also very satisfying along with the pacing!
This is so encouraging to me, you have no idea ;V; I'm still kind of heartbroken this version was hidden so long, so it hasn't been viewed nearly as much as it could have been by this point. It's three years old now, old news in the WC fandom, lol, so I feel silly that I'm still defending it/promoting it to anyone who'll listen. So it's really nice to hear someone tell me not only that people appreciate this version, but it might come back into it's own over time. Thank you so much for watching the original and leaving a comment! Means a lot
@@cranberrythecat4555 don’t feel silly for defending it, it’s your art work you get to do with it what you want, to the dark forest with anyone who tells you otherwise! This is the result of months of hard work to bring the fandom FREE warrior content, people need to remember that. And honestly if they liked the old version so much that they force you to defend your decisions, then they can just mute the tab and play the cover in the background during their own time. Either way at the end of the day people are appreciating YOUR art work!
HOLY GUACAMOLE, this is the best warriors AMV that I ever lay my eyes on. Everything fits so perfectly with the song and I adore the backgrounds, and most of the scenes are so breathtaking. This defiantly needs a whole lotta recognition and it's amazing that you put a lot of determination and love on this AMV for 18 months. You should be super proud of yourself
Wow, I don't even know what to say, I'm so blown away by such high praise!
Cranberry the Cat You're welcome! It's the least thing that I can do. I'm just so awestruck by this video.
DAMNNNN
After watching many times I decided to comment... THIS IS STUNNING!!!
Everything about this movie is fantastic! I LOVE the backgrounds and how detailed and pretty they are. Also the perfect amount of tweening and good places to put the words to the song, not to annoying like a lot of pmvs, but still nice and noticeable, and I like that.
AND FOR THE ARTSTYLE?!?! It’s GORGEOUS AND PURE!! The shading is amazing and the designs are quite well!! I love how your style has that perfect mix between realism and a cartoony style, I always try to found that in artists. All the characters flow so nicely together and fit extremely well within the background. Your anatomy is on point too!! It’s just perfect aaa
OKAY! The animation is INCREDIBLE! It’s so smooth and flows really nice with the song, the lip-syncing is awesome too! Also the shading flows nicely with the animation too, whenever I shade in my animations it turns out choppy and ugly, but yours is so smooth, and I admire that! Great job on that animation!
I tried not to write to much but this is absolutely GORGEOUS!! YOU NEED MORE ATTENTION TO THIS VIDEO!!
Also where the hell are all your subscribers!! Your work is fabulous and you need way more attention, surely this video will grant you some. All in all everything in this video amazes me!! I can’t find any flaws it’s to fantastic, so awesome job and I look forward to seeing your artwork in future videos!! Have a great day, and good job on this pmv once again! ^~^
~RainDropp
this is still, two years later, one of my favorite Warriors videos. the care and detail is phenomenal (the backgrounds, THE BACKGROUNDS, not to mention the frame by frame with moth at the end with all of her stripes???? hands you the crown, Queen), the character and emotion conveyed by every cat is powerful. It stands as one of the most meaningful videos that I come back to again and again. This deserves twice the views of the cover, it's amazing.
Thank you so much!!! I'm lowkey tearing up and couldn't reply to this for a few days because this video still feels close. I've pretty much accepted this won't see the same popularity as the cover since it's old news by now (this video turned three years old in January 2021!!)
Mostly, I just miss when I had the time to devote myself to a full-length video like this. But maybe I can make a new project someday to show how much I've learned since 2018. :3 Thank you for watching and commenting, Alex!! 💖💕 I'm glad it still resonates after all this time
I had to rewatch this 14 times just to take in all of the detail. Wow. I'm shook. Saying this is amazing would be an understatement. I'm just speechless...
Oh my god. This is the greatest PMV I've ever had the privilege to watch. The backgrounds look like photographs. The cats look practically perfect in every way. Each and every eye is a sculpted masterpiece; and each and every eye conveys such depth and emotion. This is the most accurate and beautiful depiction of Mothwing's story that I've ever seen.
The animation that starts near the end took my breath away. Not to mention the fact that the lip sync was spot-on.
I can see the soul that was poured into this. And I can see MY soul clamoring for me to show this to all the Warrior-fans I know.
You have crafted a true work of art. Your unmatched skill is quite amazing, and I cannot wait to see what you do in the future. As for now, take the time to think to yourself what a great artist and animator you are. You earned a break.
On a side note, your wrists must be dead after those 18 months.
And the scene break-down in the description killed me. XD
Clicked on this video out of nostalgia, was a little surprised the song was different but went on to be amazed at the full project. This gave me chills in the best way possible, man I’m so glad you got to finally tell the story you wanted to tell with the og song because it was amazing :]
seriously no words i am in awe
Oh my God this is AMAZING. I can't even believe it was done in 18 months, I would have thought work of this caliber would take even longer. I'm stunned by the beauty of this video!
Ohmygosh, Roselin Productions is here!? I'm a big fan of your book reviews, lol. 8D Thanks for the comment!
This reply made my whole day! I'm sticking to a more strict schedule this year and doing themed months all year, so I hope you enjoy them!
I'm sure I will! :D Lookin' forward to it!
aaAA THIS IS THE PRETTIEST PMV IVE EVER SEEN???
Thanks a ton! That means a lot to me! :D
Oh my god I remember the original when it came out and I constantly replayed it. This is if not my favourite one of my favourite PMVs ever, the effort and beauty of it, the song choice which made me then end up loving this song and the gorgeous beginning and the lip sync at the end, this is literally an outstanding work of art. The cover one was great but I was super bummed out when it disappeared due to it getting blocked, I'm so happy the original is back.
THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING PMV I'VE EVER SET MY EYES ON!!!! .
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR BACKGROUNDS!
Thank you so much! I love painting nature scenes :^)
Seriously you could publish this as a picture book, every illustration is so lovingly detailed every aspect of it from the characters, lighting, and especially those jaw dropping backgrounds. Spectacular!
I've come back to rewatch this every now and then, & every time it's still an absolutely breathtaking, gorgeous experience. The scenery shots are so beautiful & detailed, you've really helped inject some magic into the world of Warriors. I think my favorite scene is when Jayfeather figures out Mothwing is atheist on "and I had a revelation". The picture immediately after that is also one of my favorite images in the whole AMV! The lighting & composition mixed with camera movements/a choir of people in the background really just swept me off of my feet.
That, & Moth's expression on the line "I'm a lesbian kiss" just really. Speaks to me. She just looks so apprehensive, maybe even ashamed, for Mistystar to be figuring out her secret. And the ending animation is wonderful as well! The flash of the moth constellation was a fun resolution to the "god-shaped hole" in mothwing's image at the start of the video.
It honestly warms my heart whenever someone comes back to watch or leave a kind comment as you have done, so thank you~ Hearing what a person found intriguing or beautiful or impactful opens my eyes to my own work and allows me to view it from a different lense. The moth motif throughout as a representation of Mothwing's faith was a favorite part of mine as well: how it feels like a gaping hole inside of her, how it manifests in the real world during her conflict with Mistystar and with the Great Battle, and how it appears in the stars and in her dreams. I think you're the first person to mention how it comes full circle in the AMV, so I'm especially happy about that!
Thanks once again for commenting! I hope I can make another project like it one day, one I can give my whole heart to 💖💕 Hope you have a lovely day/night, stranger! :D
This is so breathtaking. The part with the dark forest battle nearly brought me to tears, and your style is so beautiful! You've definitely earned a new subscriber!
Cranberry is literally the most underrated thing, can we all agree?
wow!!! this really blew me away! I can definitely feel all the love and effort you must’ve put into making it 💖 the sense of atmosphere especially is so impressive, and those backgrounds are phenomenal!
I'm literally shaking from this. This is amazing. You should be so proud of what you created here, Mothwing has always been one of my favorite characters but you MIGHT HAVE made her my new fave entirely!!!
If only Mothwing realized that Leafpool is watching over her from Starclan and that Starclan knows she's doing her absolute best, struggling faith and all
Hoopdog The King Thank you so much! Mothwing is so much stronger than she knows, and Leafpool certainly would watch over her from Starclan. They've been through so much together, after all! Your comment brought a smile to my face, so thank you again for that and for watching the original PMV. 💖💕💖💕
I didn't understand some of the scenes that happened in this MAP (I stopped reading warriors after the 4th series I think, plus I read the books 2 years ago) but this is really beautiful. Also I really like this song, I've never heard of it before but it is very touching. Good job!!
Why aren't you working at Disney already?
This is definetly the best PMV I have ever seen. The amount of detail is incredible, and the way you draw backgrounds and movements is breathtaking!
Wow my dude! This is really excellently done! Your layouts/backgrounds especially are quite wonderful- and I’ll admit to a little gasp at the quite unexpected animation at the end! You’ve done an utterly fantastic job, and you should feel so proud of what looks to have been one hell of a project.
These backgrounds are a blessing
This is.. absolutely flawless. Beautiful work
okay I'm just sitting in a sorta stunned silence right now, because THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! The DETAILS, the FEELS, the CAMERA ANGLES, the BACKGROUNDS, that little ANIMATION AT THE END! I need a moment to breathe.. this is probably the most beautiful Warriors PMV, if not just the most beautiful PMV, I've ever seen. Incredibly well done.
HOLY HECKING HECK I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL ON CZcams! THE BACKGROUNDS AND LYPSINC AND EYE DETAILS OMIGOSH YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!!
This is gorgeous. I really liked the cover as well, actually, it had a slower note that I was able to relate to more. That was the anthem in my head for a long time. Thanks for making this PMV!
Thanks for listening even if this version might not be your favorite. It was a tough decision to make this the only version available, but I had to go with my original vision at the end of the day. Thanks again for commenting!
2:22 chills at that part EVERY time I watch this, jeez... The battle with the dark forest is also great, especially with the lyrics being sung during that part. And that last part where it switches to fill amv rather than pmv like the rest of the song? Jarring (for lack of better word choice) in the best way possible, it's so great and attention-grabbing. I'm still in love with this pmv years later
This is officially my new favorite video. The art and backgrounds are amazing your animation at te end was breathtaking. Who am i kidding, everything about this was breathtaking. I am very excited to see what future gems you have to offer to the animation community.
I used to ADORE the version of this pmv that used to be available, but this is honestly even better! You're such an inspiration!
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you like it!
@@cranberrythecat4555 Wow, it's great to get a reply from one of my favourite artists! Of course! :)
I have officially killed my repeat button. 2018 is looking good
I rewatch this a lot, it's such a wonderful pmv
oh my god-
the backgrounds are so amazing i actually had to take a second to catch my breath when i saw them. the anatomy also has me s h o o k
i love this so much ;w;
Also I just realised this was unblocked? Luckily I was always able to view it but that's so awesome that everyone else can now too! The other version was, of course, also stunning, but this was the one intended to be viewed so I'm so glad it's back for everyone now :)
Fan Pet Oh, that's awesome, lol. I think a few countries were exempt from it, but I'm so happy it's back now too. Thank you for watching all this time 💖💕💖💕
I can't believe it's been 3 years already! The animation at the end still amaze me, plus the shading and everything, btw thank you for introduce me to The 1975, this band is awesome!!
I'm speechless.
This is absolutely gorgeous honestly, your art is wonderful, I love your style, the designs and especially the backgrounds are breath-taking!
Combine that with the editing and the song and I feel like this really tells Mothwing's story well!
I kinda drifted away from Warriors a long time ago but this is the first thing that really made me want to revisit it.
Just all in all, wonderful job!!
OH MY GOSH! I just remembered this PMV and wanted to watch it again AND I'M SO HAPPY THE ORIGINAL IS BACK UP AGAIN! I watched this so many times when it came out and was so sad when it got blocked. I hope in time, this gets all the views the cover version got and more. It's one of THE BEST Warriors PMVs around and it deserves so much more love
Mothwing's eyeliner on fleek
Seriously though....I am absolutely FLOORED by the talent that went into this video! Everything from the character designs, the storytelling, the emotions, the backgrounds (holy Lord the BACKGROUNDS) is just jaw-dropping, you are an incredible artist and animator! So many scenes in this made me just....aaah! The scene with Jaypaw flashing between the medicine cat's visions and discovering that Mothing didn't share dreams with StarClan I love, along with the scene during the Dark Forest battle when the dead cat's spirit left it's body and joined the fight; all of the expressions were perfect! You can really feel how conflicted and confused Mothwing is throughout the whole PMV...I could go on forever about how great this is! :D Overall, amazing job! You have phenomenal talent; keep up the beautiful work!
"Mothwing's eyeliner on fleek" OMG I almost spit out my drink. 😂 That's it, this comment wins! Everyone can go home now, lol.
Seriously though, ThaNK yOu sO MUCh!? I really don't know what to say! :V; I'm glad that you understood the scene with Jayfeather, especially! I was worried it wouldn't be clear since it flashes by so fast. Thanks again!
god this is so gorgeous, I keep finding myself watching it because wow its just so wonderful. Everything here so so SO pretty and stunning. The song is perfect and you did a great job in ever single aspect of this PMV. I'm not surprised this took you 18 months because I can tell you worked HARD on this and it paid off so well. I was BLOWN AWAY by the smooth animation at the end accompanied by the wonderful scenery. I would be honored truly if you ever ended up in a map of mine and I can not wait to see what you make in the future and I will support you through and through
ANOTHER THING I WANT TO POINT OUT IS HOW CONSISTANT AND BEUTIFUL IT IS THROUGH DESPITE TAKING OVER A YEAR WOW. your art is so amazing its a blessing
THIS IS TRULY... THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PIECE... IM SPEECHLESS
This will forever be my favorite PMV. The backgrounds, the character art, the shading, the story telling, the music, it’s all so beautiful and it provided me a lot of comfort in middle school to see one of my favorite characters struggle with the same things I was. Thank you for creating this masterpiece
Don’t mind me 2020, but those backgrounds ARE SO FUCKING AMAZING
Thank you!
To me, your work is just a corner stone in the warriors animation community, up there with Alex harrier, finch wing, river spirit, whisker moon, blixemi and mama tad lol. Just wouldn't be the same without your art! It's so cool to see how your animation has developed over the years, even my friends who never read the books can still see such dedication and skill that went into making this pmv. I watched it then and it will be one of those videos I keep coming to when I'm on a god tier warrior cat content binge lol
Omg thank you!! That's so kind!! Can't say I've been around nearly as long or as consistently active, but it means a lot to be considered among the ranks of the community like that! WC has been a home for me for so many years, and I love this series dearly. I'm always pleased and humbled by how well-received this pmv is ☺️ Thank you for taking the time to comment! 💖💕
Wow this is just perfect! Now if you believe me... Like the video, and if I believe you will do it then it's a win win
coming back to this 4 years later is crazy
i remember always seeing it in my recommended when i was younger and i saw it again now, and couldn't remember if i'd ever watched it.
hell yeah i watched it and its still just as amazing
you also got me back into this song thank you friend
HOT DAMN CRANBERRY DON'T FORGET ME WHEN YOU'RE FAMOUS YOU SERIOUSLY NEEDED THIS EXPOSURE I LOVE IT
Absolutely stunning. Wow!!!
This just got progressively more jaw dropping as I watched. Woah, those backgrounds are gorgeous... WOW, are they going to do backgrounds like this for the whole video?! ...And really good visual concepts, nice... Oh yeah! excellent timing and editing.... And covers ALL the consequences that Mothwing's dealt with because of her lack of faith?! ... Art quality has remained amazing throughout the video... DANG, this is almost more of an animatic than a pm- IS THAT ANIMATION???!!!
Seriously, this is breathtaking. Wonderful work. I like that the song and PMV reflect how Mothwing wants to believe, but can't find the faith. And Starclan continues to approve of her, even if she can't see it.
3:31 has me dead
that wide shot along with the music and just the two of them collecting flowers oh man
this whole thing is so so good
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL
I AM IN AWE
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MANY TIMES IVE REWATCHED THIS it's absolutely BEAUTIFUL im on the verge of tears aHH thank you for blessing my eyes with this absolute masterpiece!!
OH MY GODS THIS IS SO GREAT! I LOVE THE ATTENTION TO MOTHWINGS RELATIONSHIPS AND EMOTIONS AND TRIALS AND GOD I LOVE IT!
It's been a while since I've revisited this. I like to come back every now and then to appreciate it again, but not too often, so it always feels special. I genuinely haven't been able to stop thinking about this video since it first came out three years ago, I've been here watching the entire time, and it breaks my heart that it never quite managed to get the recognition it so _desperately_ deserved. Mothwing is my favourite character now, and I like to think this video is where that all started. It's truly beautiful. Utterly timeless. I'm waxing poetic a bit because it's 3am but I mean every word. I really hope that someday it gets its chance to shine, properly this time.
Wax away! (that sounded weird, ignore me lol) I'm always going to be a little sad about the copyright takedown three years ago, but I'm still really glad I made this project. It's worth it to still get comments on here every now and then from thoughtful fellow WC fans such as yourself 💖💕 Thank you so much for coming back to it after all this time! I hope you enjoy it for many moons to come
AAA I've watched this many times and I can't get enough of it! ITS SO GOOD AAAA
Oh. My. God.
This... is genuinely the most incredible PMV I have ever seen. I actually cannot express how much I love this. You worked for so long, and it was absolutely worth it! I'm so proud of you!
I can't express how beautiful this was. The backgrounds, the characters, the emotion??? Not to mention that last bit of animation oh gosh it was stunning and so smooth
You are definitely ready to join the MAPS if not better!!
Dang! That was amazing!
I wanted to cry a river while watching this. The time, effort, and dedication put into this is absolutely stunning. Mothwing is one of my favorite characters, and watching this has really made my day. I really love how this song fits her and her struggles. And I just love your style! Instant subscribe. Seeing stuff like this is really the only reason why I'm staying motivated to strengthen my own art skills. Keep up the amazing work!
You're so sweet, omg, thank you! I'm so touched to hear my art inspires you! Mothwing is a favorite of mine too, very special to me
First time seeing the new *original* version and I have to say even better that the edited version released 2 years ago :)
GOD thank you for saying so. A lot of people have gotten on my case for making the cover private, which breaks my heart a little when this one's right here. You just made my day!
Oh nice it's back!
Wow, I wasn't ready. I first watched it two days ago, but I keep watching it since this day xD I had to leave a comment-
Well, first, I never really payed attention to Mothwing, even if there was a lot of MV about her BUUUTTTT this one is incredible?! I feel like everything that I never really cared is coming back strongly waw! Like, these backgrounds and expressions, and timing of the events, I think I like Mothwing wayyy more now. Moreover, the song?! The song fits her SO MUCH and you showed it so well. Really, it's breathtaking and very powerful. It's officialy THE Mothwing MV for me.
You just described my exact feelings before making this PMV lol. I wasn't a huge Mothwing fan either, though I enjoyed the content other people made for her (mostly the Leafpool ship at the time). But when I heard this song, it was so perfect for her I felt COMPELLED to make this video. And doing so gave me a new appreciation for her. Mothwing is now one of my favorite characters and quite dear to my heart as well.
Thank you for watching and commenting!! It brings me joy that other people like the artwork I make C:
THIS WAS BREATHTAKING??? i aspire to be half this good at atmosphere and painting backgrounds asdfghkkl;; every shot was beautifully composed, the colors are gorgeous, and your art style is so pretty too!! the animation at the end was so good also asdfghjkl;; my jaw dropped at that part ;O;
