If there is one gift we can give back to Kkat, it should be this video being created.
I can picture it all now, and it makes me well up, and seeing it animated would probably give me tears.

I'd love to see the people who made "Picture Perfect Pony" or working on "Double Rainboom" to make this.

That would be a massive undertaking, but not impossible. After all, look at what we've done

I wonder if any of the animators are foe fans?

The scene setup here is amazing. My only complaint being minor.

The initial scenes up the detonation of the mega spells almost seem to be in chronological order, almost like a countdown to the end of the world. But after it starts jumping back and forth between Little Pip and the mane 6 scenes, it looses just a bit of the time factor.

Not that it's a big complaint. most of the scenes mentioned fit beautifully with the pace and lyrics of the song.

Overall, I would love to see this made. If made well, it could very well convey the emotions of Fo:E into almost a "trailer" (with some pretty massive spoiler warnings attached)

Goddamnit, now I have tears all over. This would be incredible to see in reality.

This would be so cool to see made.

We could always ask JanAnimations?

This should be done, once my set arrives and I can read through it and then make some storyboard mockups perhaps. Question here is really how many competent animators do we have here?

Music video?
Shouldn't Aviator's The Adventure be a better soundtrack?
