A fan animation of a fan song, because the Murder Drones fandom is still going strong in 2026!
This project took 7 months to finish, or in other words, half a year! The project started off as something small, as I was still new to using character rigs and wanted to make this animation look and flow much better than the “play my way reanimated” video. With this persona inspired animation, I’ve managed to elevate my skills once again, this time using a new software, after effects, which works SO well with my animation style that I want to use it for future projects, as it’s one of the best software's I’ve worked in. It's a little complicated to use starting off, but overall it’s amazing.
This animation was a little stressful as I’ve realized the lack of animations I’ve been uploading lately and just wanted to do my best to upload high quality videos, which turned out to work out in my favor. However, this did make me consider going for shorter formed videos, not shorts but shorter videos. Why? Because it allows me to do more in terms of quality while at the same time, uploads will be faster. I also intend on doing more animatics in the future. As far as animated music videos go like this one, I may hold off on it a little and focus on shorter forms of content for now. But overall, I think this was a huge success! Thanks for watching and stay tuned!

Things I’ve learned in the project:
- After effects is a very useful tool next to adobe animate
- pre-compositing
- Color contrast/matching
I give all thanks to my lord and savior Jesus Christ. I’m nothing without him and I thank him for giving me this gift of creating for others. Thank you all for watching and feel free to check out some of my other videos! Stay safe!
