I really like the moment, when lyrics saying "Natural" and Rayla land on the wall of the mountain at this time! That looks amazing! Also there is a cool moment, when Rayla jumps down with Corvus (again lyrics saying "Natural") Both moments are sync and looks very good! (Sorry for bad English. I'm trying to write without mistakes, but it's so hard when you are russian :D) Great work, keep it up!
I love the cut from Rayla in the forest to her leaping onto the cliffside, it integrates so smoothly aaaaa Edit: and the transition from the leech monster to Rayla talking to sun sword dude! The cape swooooosh Edit 2: and the sword clink when she's fighting Runaan!
I'll be honest I would've preferred this hand drawn however this series has done quite a bit to impress me I love the fight scenes, the story is a bit cliché however HOW it's presented and told is unique. The amount of detail placed in the background of key locations is insane.. and really is utilized well to show the audience just how vast and unique their world is..If Netflix ever made a videogame based in this world I think I'd honestly buy it. I g
I know its an absolutely awful thought, but i just thought up this... What if Rayla is a traitor, and all of this is just a charade, perhaps she’s just waiting for the next full moon, and seeing her people ghost her made her heart turn.
can't believe people still watch this haha. I used a separate program to record the clips i wanted and then used sony vegas pro to put them together and tried my best to show them corresponding to the beat drops :)
Click the read more button to read my in-depth lyric-by-lyric analysis of "Natural" and how it relates to Rayla "Will you hold the line? When every one of them is giving up or giving in, tell me"- a BIG part of Rayla's character is based on not giving up, never backing down. "In this house of mine? Nothing ever comes without a consequence or cost, tell me"- the actions of humans, elves, and dragons had a big consequence, shattering the world apart for years on end. Or it could be the Moonshadow assassins' cutthroat culture. "Will the stars align? Will heaven step in? Will it save us from our sin? Will it?"- Rayla has a "night sky" theme, being a Moonshadow elf. And coming to terms with your sins and the sins of your ancestors is a major plot element, in this case Team Zym (Callum, Rayla, Ezran, Bait, and Zym) stepping in to "save us from our" wrongs. (An anecdote, Callum's name means "dove king", with doves being strongly associated with heaven-related imagery.) "Cause this house of mine stands strong"- can be interpreted two ways, either meaning Team Zym standing strong or the Moonshadow assassins standing strong. "That's the price you pay"- a lot of TDP is built around the price paid for the cycle of hatred between Xadia and the human kingdoms. "Leave behind your heartache, cast away"- Rayla always puts her emotions aside instead of addressing them, although this is SUPER BAD FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH hasn't Callum yelled at her enough about this? "Just another product of today"- her worldviews are shaped by the centuries of feud between Xadia and the human kingdoms, although she breaks free from this later on. Alternatively, this could mean Xadian/human society being a "product of today", shaped by the same things mentioned above. "Rather be the hunter than the prey"- pretty self-explanatory. "And you're standing on the edge, face up, 'cause you're a"- the world is certainly standing on the edge of lots of things: war, peace, change... Alternatively, this could be her standing on the edge at the start of a new journey as the series kicks off. "Natural A beating heart of stone You gotta be so cold To make it in this world"- Rayla believes that showing your emotions = weakness. So she hides all her vulnerabilities. "Yeah, you're a natural Living your life cutthroat You gotta be so cold Yeah, you're a natural"- repeat of the stuff above along with the cutthroat nature of her upbringing. "Will somebody Let me see the light within the dark trees' shadows and What's happenin'?"- finding the light in dark times, when there have been so many centuries of wrongs and hate that nobody even knows which side is the greater evil. Or possibly this could mean Rayla learning to open up :) "Lookin' through the glass find the wrong within the past knowin' We are the youth Cut until it bleeds, inside a world without the peace facing A bit of the truth, the truth"- The theme of the show is coming to terms with all the wrongs of their ancestors. Team Zym is part of a new generation, one which is bringing (or attempting to bring) peace to feuding worlds as well as revealing the truth of the past. "That's the price you pay Leave behind your heartache, cast away Just another product of today Rather be the hunter than the prey And you're standing on the edge, face up 'cause you're a"- went over this already "Natural A beating heart of stone You gotta be so cold To make it in this world Yeah, you're a natural Living your life cutthroat You gotta be so cold Yeah, you're a natural"- went over this too "Deep inside me, I'm fading to black, I'm fading"- yeah, because you BOTTLE UP ALL YOUR EMOTIONS, what did you expect Rayla? "Took an oath by the blood of my hand, won't break it"- her taking an oath with the assassins' wrist binding "I can taste it, the end is upon us, I swear Gonna make it I'm gonna make it"- conflicting imagery because nothing is certain anymore but decisiveness that she's gonna make it through, even if times are tough! "Natural A beating heart of stone You gotta be so cold To make it in this world Yeah, you're a natural Living your life cutthroat You gotta be so cold Yeah, you're a natural Natural Yeah, you're a natural"- went over this
@Emma Truhn I love talking too, I could ramble for hours, but the trouble is, I'm not good at it haha. I stutter, overthink, and try to say too many words at once. Especially if I'm excited or nervous. And those are the two emotions that my brain is constantly teetering on a seesaw between. So that's... a thing. (Yeah you didn't need to know any of that, I'm sorry, lol idk what my sleep deprived brain is on about)
@Emma Truhn Aw no you're fine you're fine! I love talking to you too! (And imo all genders can be cute whether they're a guy, girl, or nonbinary friend :D )

SHE'S SO BADASS I LOVE HER --

I g
If it was hand drawn it would have taken years to make
but it would've been totally worth it dontchya think?
There's a video game in development!
This is one of my favorite music and Rayla is probably my favorite character so this video is awesome!
THANK YOU!!! I love how everything is in sync with the music!!! I've been looking for something like this for so long!!!!
yessss Rayla
I know its an absolutely awful thought, but i just thought up this...
What if Rayla is a traitor, and all of this is just a charade, perhaps she’s just waiting for the next full moon, and seeing her people ghost her made her heart turn.
You deserve more love 💗
The animation is so smooth! You transition so perfectly!
How did you get the clips though?
can't believe people still watch this haha. I used a separate program to record the clips i wanted and then used sony vegas pro to put them together and tried my best to show them corresponding to the beat drops :)
This is so good!
R A Y L A Y A S S
Thank you! You took the words right out of my mouth! What's your favorite Rayla moment?

From the beginning to 0:55 where and how did you get those shots or what episode are those from
Come posso registrare lo schermo su Netflix da iPad?

It's not actually an anime it's called The Dragon Prince it's on Netflix and it's super good!!
We saw man of steel, woman of steel...
