Video and some art

This is a project I started a few months ago. While looking around on youtube and a bit on Nico, I realized no one had made a parody for FMA: Brotherhood's first OP. Or, at least, I couldn't find one. Which made me sad because its such an awesome OP.

Anyway, I tried my hand at coming up with something but then...my tablet sort of stopped working. So the project never really got finished. Since it might be a while before I ever get a replacement or decide to work on it again, I took what I had and made a small WIP video out of it. S-So it didn't feel like a waste to draw all those panels orz.


Author/Artist: [livejournal.com profile] static_roses
Character(s) or Pairing(s): America, Canada, England, and France
Rating: G?
Warnings: Fail editing skills
Summary: Stated above. It's a parody of FMA: Brotherhood's first OP



It's not quite an animation. It was meant to sort of be an animatic, which, for those who don't know, is a series of storyboards put into video form. I was kind of reverse storyboarding it, hence all the arrows.

orz and I know its super short. So, to make this post seem less like a waste of text uh. Here's links to all the panels, too.

A-Anyways, with luck, this thing will get finished.

OMFG!! *explodes from the awesome*

APH and FMA are some of my two most favoritest fandoms ever!! I dun even care if favoritest isn't a word!! :D

Even if it's short this was done beautifully, and the character choices were great too! ^_^

Whoa, awesome! It may not be much, but I like what you've got. :D
Actually...I was working on a video of this myself! But it's my first time trying something like this, so it's not great and it's going slowly. XD I don't have a video up, but I've got a gif of the scene where Ed's walking:

I've got some of that first scene done too...with England first, then Hungary, Chibitalia and HRE for the kids, and then Austria. But I don't think you could even call it an animation, it's more just pictures.
Not sure when/if I'll ever finish it though. XD I had started to color, but maybe I'll keep it in black and white for now.

Thanks! Yeah, it was. 0_o

Eee, yay for a video with Canada! Now I wanna see it even more. <3
I haven't really assigned different characters to each other, just doing whatever works for the scene. But I'm keeping little Ed and Al as Chibitalia and HRE. And I was gonna make Greed Prussia too. XD
