HOLY SHIT! This Is Absolutely Amazing! How Someone Can Be So Talented? Everything Of This Masterpiece

HOLY SHIT! This is absolutely amazing! How someone can be so talented? Everything of this masterpiece is perfect !

A few months ago, I said on this blog that in my head PJO is an anime with a badass opening credits. I meant it quite literally, like I can actually picture this OP in my head, with all the shonen tropes like Percy walking around pretty backgrounds, cool fighting scenes with lots of camera movements and huge statues of the Gods standing ominously in the background, Nico standing in the rain till Reyna and Hazel and Jason come for him and a ray of sunshine breaks throught the clouds and light hits his hopeful face, GIMME ALL THE TROPES hahaha. Doing the whole opening would be impossible for a single person but I really wanted to try one big “shonen” group shot, so here you are !!! This actually took me AGES, I’m not kidding, the folder for this on my computer is named “batshit crazy ” for a reason, it may not look like it if you don’t know animation but a really huge amount of work went into this. I think it’s actually the biggest thing I ever did for a fandom. I can’t say how many hours I spent on it since I didn’t count, but let’s say I started this in September and spent a lot of week ends and most of my Christmas holidays on it, and I just finished it this week. I had a lot of fun though !!! And I learned a lot too, this was my first time trying to animate japanimation style, with not many in-betweens and ultra dynamic poses. So yeah, I hope you guys will like it !

I want to thank fimyuan and bisexualjason for keeping me motivated with their lovely comments through the project, even when I was complaining about my own decisions to animate friggin’ skeletons, hahaha. Another big thank you to my friend Wekake who went through the animation frame by frame and spotted all the little compositing mistakes that remained ;p

A few words on the process : I animated and colored everything in TV Paint, drew the background in Photoshop, and composited everything in After Effects. The song is an extract of the Yowapeda opening “Reclimb” by Rookiez is Punk’d because I wanted something very distinctively shonen but no lyrics, and I like that song ^^ I animated directly without any model sheet references which is definitely not how you should do it, hahaha, hence the design inconsistencies, but honestly even my madness had its limit and I didn’t want to spend more than a year on this thing ;p

things we MUST see or have in the pjo adaption:

aka disney+ if you fuck this up i stg im killing mickey damn mouse.

- first of all, please, please, PLEASE give us an age appropriate cast!! one of the beautiful things about pjo is that we watched them grow from being little eighth graders all the way up to seventeen and eighteen and we watched them become mature. i don’t know how many of you guys watched the dc show ‘gotham’ but i loved seeing a naive 12 y/o bruce wayne go through the troubles of gotham city up until 17, we’re growing with them the same way little ten year old me did when i had the books.

- second, do not and i repeat do NOT erase minorities - don’t remove nico being gay, don’t pull an ‘uwu i have adhd and dyslexia’ on near enough the entire plethora of characters, don’t whitewash people of colour. percy jackson is for everyone. that’s how rick made it.

- it would be awesome to have relatively unknown cast members, let their talents shine and give them the boost in popularity that things like harry potter gave daniel radcliffe, emma watson and such. as much as i like them, i don’t want finn wolfhard or the it/stranger things cast - give us new people.

- aphrodite - give her multiple castings. give us a curvy aphrodite, a trans aphrodite, poc aphrodite - everything! beauty is in the eye of the beholder, aphrodite is the epitome of beauty - not the conventional white, blonde, skinny standards of the west.

- do not gloss over the effect kronos has. he sliced and diced his own father before taking his place, he ate his children, he is pure evil. he manipulates luke and targets his faults, the same with ethan and his desire for recognition, kronos is the nightmare under your bed.

- on the same point, don’t gloss over the deaths and the heroism of minor characters, silena’s bravery to lead the ares cabin, charlie’s sacrifice, ethan, lee fletcher’s death and the beautiful death and tragedy of zoe nightshade.

- show us may castellan. the mother who has no idea about the damage her son has done in his blinded rage, the vulnerability of a dying luke who finally saw he was tricked by someone eons older than her. show us the mother who still sits and waits, baking cookies for a boy never to return.

- give us travis and connor stoll and all their shenanigans!

- please give me will solace, god i miss him.

- don’t make hades a bad man, he’s the best out of the big 3 and i’ll be damned if you do him dirty. he cares through actions, the god of the dead is not meant to be a man of words - hades is hospitable, he doesn’t kill or trick the way zeus and poseidon do. hades is kind in a world that hates him, his kindness is rare but it is there.

- alabaster c torrington! that’d be such an awesome cameo!

- don’t overdo the cgi and effects, the movies were guilty of using effects to hide up bad writing and a lack of knowledge of the book - don’t make kronos some hell demon during the battle of manhattan, he was in luke’s body. the only sign was his golden eyes, not demonic horns.

- just remember that a generation of people fought for this for years and we’ll stay fighting for it. the pjo fandom is powerful, long-lasting and frankly protective of the books that made us feel included and we want another to have that same chance.

don’t ruin this for millions and millions of people across the world.

I’ve re-read the prisoner of Azkban for the 5421665423578 time and every time Is like the first. I decided to make a comic about this part of chapter 12 (The Patronus) because with a few phrases I really feel Harry and Remus sadness an the emotion about the loss of James (and Lily as well). I can’t image how difficult it must have been for Remus not to be able to tell Harry everything. So, here it is a full-of-feels mini comic! Sorry, i’m getting emotional lately!
