INFO ABOUT ROOTCLAN

Rootclan are a group of cats that have made their homes in the roots of trees, deep underground. While they used to be a relatively normal clan, this quickly changed when their deputy introduced them to a kittypet named Queenie.
She brought with her a strange religion, and garnered devotion from cats of both clan & kittypet origin.

While based loosely on the animation meme, this became more of an experimental amv where I tried out a bunch of new techniques and frame rates.
You can probably see me improve drastically in my animation quality from the beginning, compared to the second half.

My favourite part of the amv personally is Wrenstar’s nightmare sequence- pulled directly from the film, I worked my hardest to really do justice to this scene. And yes, I did animate every… single… ant. I put a flickering vignette around scenes in this sequence to differentiate it from the rest of the amv, so hopefully folks that haven’t seen the film pick up on it being a dream.

A huge thanks to all of the folk who supported me through this project. Everyone who commented on my wips, and joined my livestreams- y’all really helped me get through this amv so quickly

A special thanks to my close friends, rod and moldy, and members of the murder by bramble server for hyping me up so much :,)
