    I plan on proving to the world that the future I see for myself isn't just a dream, but a reality.
    Brief Summary of this video: The quote at the beginning is Ruby's feelings towards her mother with a lot of symbolism of the seasons. if you didn't notice, as Ruby walks through the forest in the beginning, it goes from October, to Winter, to Spring, back to October. that's only 3 seasons, because Summer is gone. In the Red Trailer, Ruby shows a playful little smile as she kills the beowolves. In this, Ruby is not shown to have a smile proving that she is more unstable emotionally in this scene. As Ruby fights, her grief begins to take over as she starts seeing her mother staring back at her in the forest. Ruby is overcome with sadness. As Summer Rose turns to walk back into the forest Ruby chases her, not seeming to care about the possibility of Summer just being in her imagination. as the fight goes on, more Grimm show up, attracted by the scent of Ruby's emotions. in the end Ruby is unarmed with her hood ripped off. In one final push towards her mother Ruby uses her speed semblance to go straight through the final grimm like a bullet. Only when she reaches out to her mother, Summer scatters into white petals. 'Thus Kindly I Scatter'
    Ruby watches as the petals fly off into the sunset. Now coming back to the cold realization that Summer is not coming back. all leading back to the symbolism in the beginning of the video.
    Brief little summary of this project: I started this video on 7/14/2022. it's been about 7 months since I started. The last project I had animated was the Dead Fantasy Alternate video, which was made in Source Filmmaker. I helped animate both of the RUBY OVA's on Cake Stations channel, however this is the first project I have done completely by myself in Blender. I learned a lot during this project, enough to where I wish I can go back and make a lot of things better. But I can't keep spending time on this project, I have to move on even if I couldn't execute it as well as I wanted.

    I really like this overall. I love the elegant brutality you added to Ruby's fighting style, and that you let her remember she's got a polearm, and that it's sharp on both ends. The visual storytelling, with her chasing her mother's memory and example, was also fantastic. However, I couldn't help but notice that Ruby's animations felt a bit stiff, especially when she was walking or running. And I don't think she ever seemed to reload, which is one thing RWBY, at least in the early days, actually did keep track of.

    Body stinging from the carnage it had doled out, Ruby Rose once again found herself at the gravestone, cold winter air threatening to freeze anything in its path.
    Tears sliding down her face, she slumped into the snow, her scythe-gun, Crescent Rose, falling from her grip.
    "Another.. hallucination."
    She thought she was past this. Accepted her mother was in the past, a part of history, never to step foot again upon this mortal plane.
    Yet, recently, she'd seen what appeared to be her, in her long white cloak, her kindly smile, inviting her to come to her.
    Discarding all logic, she'd drop whatever she'd been doing, and race outside into the snow, into the Grimm-filled forest and try desperately to reach her mother.
    Yet despite the tears and pain, it all led her back here to her mother's gravestone.
    She'd been coming home late into the night, covered in bruises, and cried herself to sleep.
    If she wanted to get into Beacon Academy, she had to stop this, focus on her classes at Signal.
    She ought to be studying more, yet here she was, chasing after ghosts.
    "I'm sorry..." she said to the world, and proceeded to burst into tears in front of the gravestone, the winter snow falling gently.

    Such a fun and passionate idea. The fighting is pretty great. Some of the ideas are just awesome and really made full use of Ruby's arsenal.
    And I know this is probably less noticed bit my gawd there are some moments of cinematography in this that are just amazing.
    My favorite part is the ending. The visual storytelling and intensity of the fighting make such well done buildup and the payoff gave me chills.. She fights her way through, but in the end gets stripped of her weapon and her hood of mystery, revealing the war-born child that she is who just wants her mom back and has come to live the warriors life just like her mom also.
    Ofc there's clunky action moments or shots which didn't flow as well, but this was still so amazing. This deserves to go viral and get the recognition that the Team SLVR trailers have. Clearly lots of love went into this. 👍😄

    wow. i thought I was going to see a cool remake of the red trailer but holy crap i wasn't expecting this much effort into it. Like you actually made it that it could've been canon or what the original trailer should have been for RWBY to start off the franchise that would make sense instead of retconning. I'm not shaming the previous original trailer, but this is actually consistent and has reasoning/meaning why the grimm looks like that without words and shows it can still work. Like i didn't even thought of this way at all. By Ruby wasn't just test fighting but searching and saw her mom so she tries her best to find where she could be, while showing similarities of her mother, going pass drought, doubt, and anger to come across the truth of it at the end of where she believes the last time of seeing her again. This is from my perspective of it, still im blown away that this has depth to ruby then making her a kid that likes guns and wants to be a hero. And i'll be honest, if this is the red trailer, this would be my number one compare to the others for sure.

    2: If RWBY ever did get remade/I was lucky enough to be one of the people behind a remake project, I would want to hire animators like you and those who assisted you because we need more animators who try to emulate Monty's style in this world. I am impressed.

    Okay, bro, the fight choreography here is about as insane as Monty himself would have done it. Over-the-top moves and slices because they look awesome, and hacking through Grimm like cheese.... Monty would have been proud of this, through and through. Awesome job!

    Got damn AK!! I know I don’t watch Ruby that much but wow this wants me to continue watching it. My most favorite parts of this animation were Ruby’s spinning attacks and, her destroying those dogs. Man the sound effects and visuals are sweet. Love your work, I want to see more!

  • @rixarts14

    A lot can be said about the animation but I loved what you did with the narrative. So much can be said by having Ruby chasing the ghost of her mother.

    @davidgipe997 Před rokem +6

    The cinematography and music really tell a touching story that you fully get once you see it to the end and that gives re-watches a new meaning. This really captured the Monty-esk energy as @Celtic Phoenix said in his, but clearly there is some of your own style in it with the cape-glows and similar FX. I hope to see more and that you continue to reach new heights. May your inspiration never end!

  • @elisaarte1681
    @elisaarte1681 Před rokem +5

    I like this. You know, Rooster Teeth should hire you cause this reminds me of how Monty animates or does the choreography of fight. The way you portray how Ruby feels about losing someone is better. Keep it up!

    Awesome story. The choreography? Excellent. The Red Like Roses songs fit, and having Ruby follwing the spirit of her mother was interesting. Character design, very reminiscent of the animation style from Volume 3. Every time I listen to Red Like Roses II I get a little choked up from the lyrics.

  • @omegadxg4419
    @omegadxg4419 Před rokem +7

    This was a really good animation. It really put Ruby as a person into perspective. The Red trailer only had so much and not enough to get an insight of her character like the other trailers. This is like the Red trailer but done right!

    • @AKMotions
      @AKMotions  Před rokem +32

      It's a cross. I thought of it because Ruby wears a cross on her suit and there is no cross related religion in rwby, so it would kinda make sense for her to wear it in honor of her mother.

    @SchRibbit Před rokem +5

    This was just amazing! I teared up, and the choreography is so good. I also love how you worked off of familiar movements and altered them in surprising ways. The sledding down on crescent rose and the grimm were both amazing ideas as well. Something particular as well, when Ruby dodged a grimm and it accidentally hit another grimm, I loved that. I feel like we never see that!

  • @darkfire321000

    this animation has great monty energy, every movement the character makes has purpose, either to dodge, attack, or maintain momentum, none of that "funny movement because it looks cool"
    10/10

  • @camiloquinayasvarela7337

    Monty Oum has descended upon this earth once again. Praise be.
    But in all seriousness, my lad you're amazing, this animation is incredible. The fandom will go up inflames when they see this animation that is so much like Monty's, but better in many different ways. You have talent, you have passion, you are awesome.

    Wow, that was insane.
    I could really see this being used as the RED/Ruby Rose Trailer for any of the upcoming volumes. They really need to be buying this or just downright giving you a contract.
    I really loved the way you portrayed her Speedboost/Teleportation semblance.
    The sounds of the laserations and dismemberment are perfect as you could really hear and see the sharpness ,weight and force needed to cut through.
    Choreo was fantastic also and accurate and good duration.

    You definitely nailed down the emotion weight that it felt like Ruby had in the earlier seasons with Summer :) the animation at times felt slow and stiff, but overall, I can definitely see improvement upon that. I like how you also incorporated new elements that definitely felt like something Ruby would have done within the show. Nicely done!

  • @ScarlyScars
    @ScarlyScars Před 8 měsíci +2

    to be completely honest, i went into this expecting a remake or a study of the original Red trailer, all expectations were completely destroyed. I'm honestly at a loss of words when it comes to this comment. the choreography is so inspired and just full of ideas of what Cresent Rose could do, I normally don't rewatch parts of any fights scenes but I was caught off guard with some pieces so much that I had to rewatch and just say "Cresent Rose could do that??", I know its a fan made video but honestly there's only been a few RWBY related content (mainly Mark Zhang's work) that got me so attached to watching, it was refreshing, was wanting to know "whats the next move that will catch me off guard?".
    amazingly done

    Feels like I was back in 2013 once more just getting hyped for this and wondering what world I'd enter upon seeing the trailers, miss those times. They were simple, they were fun, it had this old and yet fun charm to it, this animation was beautiful and inspiring while pulling a few new moves and yet? Keeping that raw energy that Monty kickstarted this wacky wonderous world with, thank you for making this. Give those new riders some old RWBY flare with some new tricks.

    Omg I wish Monty could’ve seen this. Especially when Roosterteeth can incorporate ways to show how Ruby can fight with her scythe in show but it’s like they have no creativity like Monty did. And your story telling in the animation is just chef’s kiss. Idk why more people haven’t seen it. It’s like Ruby’s trying her best to run from her thoughts of negativity but they just keep coming no matter where she turns. Eventually it all just leads back to Summer and Ruby just feels lost. Well done dude. Respect

  • @Kakaragi
