I remember a few years ago when the Human Centipede song was trending I made an animatic with Tecchou and Jouno but didn't post it anywhere.... so here you go have this
only had wrist strength for one finished drawing so the thumbnail isn't representative of the chuuya POV dazai-related angst actually in there. the animatic takes place between the cellar scene and the lovecraft fight but has flashbacks to a bunch of other stuff (with my little headcanon kisses <3)
thank you for checking out my janky first born if you do!!!
enjoy a poor quality Sigzai animatic! i haven’t animated for like six months and i learnt to use capcut literally as i made this. better quality stuff will happen eventually, i swear
i used Procreate (not the Dreams version thing, just normal Animation Assist) at 8 frames per second and Capcut to put everything together. it took like,, two hours that’s it. song is Sight of the Sun by Fun.
Basically this is an idea dump for an animatic I know I'll never make. If anyone gets inspired from this pls tag me.
So you probably know, how I CANNOT draw to save my life, and have very little experience in animation. Yeah, well I still have ideas for animatics so reluctantly, (but also eager for all the artist on here to see it) I'm going to share this really crusty animatic plan I made for a Dazai animatic with the song fire flies by owl city.
Like I said, I can't draw, so I made this using google slides (my trusty compainion) and horrid clip art so pls exuse it. It's just for general lay out and some notes about motion. Also when making it, I didn't intend to have lyrics displayed on screen, but I did put them for reference.
Because I can't draw but I wanted to make an animatic, I give you this really specifc break down of one instead. I just really thought that the somg fireflies was perfect for Dazai so I made this crappy thing. Here you go!
Don't quetsion the flowers. I just put them tehre because I fiund them while searching for other stock iamges/clipart and though that they were pretty. The title slide is prettyu much just for funsies and not part of the mian animatic.
ONE
So the basic idea of this one is the bed is in greater focus. He's laying awake, his arm handing off the side, with a bottle of pills spilt out onto the floor (from a failed Dazai typcial su!c!de attempt) Some fireflies flutter up in the top right corner of the room, maybe by a small high up window. There's a nightsand on the right side. The gardient has nothing to do with colour pallet, I just wanted to amke a gradient. Lol
TWO
The door stock image is a little fancy, but I couldn't find a regualr door fpr some reason, idk. Pretty mush he's wlaking to the door, maybe Dazai's hand is reaching for the knob.
THREE
This one is arugaubly the most complicated. Yes, I know the detail is going crazy with this clipart(sarcastic). Here's the note I put, inse it's too small. (He’s walking outside from inside. Going onto the lawn. Show him walking through the door. Show side of house with window w/ curtains to indicate, maybe wood siding. Def show grass and fireflies hovering outside of door. He’s crying a little bit.)
FOUR
He's standing in the middle of a field surrounded by many fireflies, looking around in awe, still teary.
FIVE
Farily simple. Somehow or another he's in space (hey, it's artistic license) He's standing on top of Earth and Earth is spinning underneath him. Starts blink/twinkle.
SIX
He's lying on his bed looking up at the ceiling. The fireflies have folowed him inside somehow. They give the mostly dark room a soft glow.
SEVEN
Fireflies surrounding Dazai and some lading on his shoulders and maybe hair. (The arms on the clipart manare so messed up because the fireflies are on a white not transparent background but it's hard to tell because the slide is also white.)
EIGHT
He’s dancing kind of, no specific moves needed, just enough to give the impression. Maybe twirling, idk. Fireflies follow his movements, drifting up and down and side to side with him. They move a little before he does, appearing to guide him.
NINE
A kitsune jumping over Dazai's bed. I imagined it looking like the full fox form of him in that one Kitsune Mayoi card. (https://images.app.goo.gl/atvjvAELR2ec1eBv9)
TEN
He's laying under his bed staring upwards. Idk thsi scene is weird, I know.
ELEVEN
He's on his tippy toes recahing up twoards a disco ball suspended from the ceiling by a noose.
TWLEVE
This scene again
THIRTEEN
This one again
FOURTEEN
Yay a new scene after the repeats! It's the front door again from the inside veiw. It's cracked open and there's light comming from within the house, fireflies fly out and back into the night.
FIFTEEN
This scene to me is about his guilt. He's now sititng up in bed and there's a thought bubble with the logo of the sheep.
SIXTEEN
Ofc it wouldn't be a true Dazai animatic without his bestie! Oda cameo, yay! Here he's standing over Oda's grave, not crying but looking very sad.
SEVENTEEN
I don't think i need to explain this one very much lol. I couldn't find a way to show this with images so I jsut wrote it out. Reminescent of this scene (https://www.reddit.com/r/BungouStrayDogs/comments/u57xqv/what_does_this_scene_in_the_opening_symbolize/) But with Dazia and Oda instead of Dazai and Chuuya.
EIGHTEEN
He's getting dreams of the dead apple dragon and vampire chuuya.
NINETEEN
Zooms into his nightsand to show a jar glwoing and full of 7 fireflies
TWENTY
Yup, this one is back again.
TWENTY ONE
And this one
TWENTY TWO
and this one again
TWNTY THREE (last one)
The differne between this one and the otehr's liek it are that in this last scene he finnaly falls asleep. Slowly the fireflies fade out.
Thanks you so much for reading this far down the post of just my nonsense. Pls have an amazing day!
I have seen a few animatics about Dazai and Odasaku (Not in a romantic way), but this one is probably my favourite. The art is incredible, the lyrics fit perfectly, the scenes they chose are amazing.
