I love how you portrayed the collector as they are simply forced the role of the "bad guy". Even if they're a child no one recognized them as such.

It's impressive on how accurate it was to the lore and to the finale, especially that it was made before WAD aired.

they literally had the cheat codes for the collector's entire backstory

watching this after the series finale hits different … man, the writers really went for the feels, didn’t they?

It’s cool to see the backstory and origin behind the original group of collectors who seemed to come to the titans to try to put them in monster scrolls and, when they refused, tried to intimidate them with their super abilities until they realized that a titan's power can counter that of a collector's. It’s sad seeing how our current little collector seemed to really love titans and find their hatchlings adorable, but everything fell apart when the collectors decided to commit genocide upon titan kind...

What an incredible way to tell the collector's story, Let's hope it ends its story well in "Watching and dreaming"

damn…. this really puts into perspective how the collector is just a kid who’s probably been manipulated his entire life, and all he wants is a genuine friend. it makes him seem more innocent, which is really interesting also, i love this art style so much, i’d honestly die to read a comic or something in this style. the way you draw the collector with buck teeth is so cute!!

I love how this actually is still close to how watching and dreaming plays out! The collector is definitely my favourite character, how he’s shown here is gorgeous

I LOVE THE COLLECTOR SO MUCH AAAAAAH this is beautiful and so perfectly made, thank you for giving him justice

OHHH THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! I love how you portray their story and on beat with the song so well! My favorite part is at 2:20 where everyone has their eyes covered by shadows looking at the collector with the exception of Luz….she’s the only one looking at them with no shades of shadows on her eyes, seeing him for what he is.

Man watching this after watching and dreaming, they really were just a kid. SPOILERS: Luz mentioning how the collector didnt have a concept of death then actually dying trying to protect Collector was probably such a painful wake up call. It puts into perspective that they really were *just a kid.* Bravo on this, it sums it up perfectly even though it came out before the episode lmao

2:09 I love the way Luz was drawn here, it's not only funny, but depicts how The Collector saw Luz. 2:16 tells a different story. Everybody seems mad at The Collector, but Luz is just staring at them. She genuinely looks like she feels bad, and she probably does.

Holy crap. How'd you put the entire history of one God in less than 2 minutes? And so beautifully made too. It's like a whole rundown on The Collector and showing everyone their motives and how easy it is to make mess based on a misunderstanding. You, are awasome!

This is probably the best thing I've seen from this fandom

YOU GOT THE STORY COMPLETELY CANNON.

What a superb animatic! I love the section of 2:07 to 2:09 as it really sums a lot about the Collector. They're so desperate to cling onto King, who looks much like a doll here, showing how they treat him more like a possession than an equal because they're so afraid to let go of him. Luz looms over as a threat who will take King away from them, but the fact the drawing is done in crayon helps highlight how childlike and innocent the Collector is.

This entire thing is incredible but something I really really want to point out is the colors. I really started to pay attention to the colors the first time I watched it at 0:40 when the contrast was really obvious, and then again at 1:12 where the colors keep changing and the green caught my eye. At the start The Titans and Collectors were all black & white on a colorful blue, purple & orange background: obviously, the colors of our Little Collector, which is already great in and of itself because we love our Collector but it also just makes the art look really nice. I think it's especially effective in the frames where our Collector is one of the only colored parts. He stands out and is isolated from the rest of the picture in a way. (0:49, 0:52 & 0:57) Then 1:02 and 1:05 are the dullest parts of the first segment, the colors darkened from the vibrant shades that've been used so far, corresponding to our Collector's mental state in those moments. And as I mentioned before, at 1:09 that changes, and now there's green, too, completely altering the mood. When the middle part with Philip comes in, 1:20, the colors are even more desaturated, with the exception of the Collector's star doodles at 1:24. The Collector themselves are in their shadow form now, so even they are colorless. Not only does this make the cave seem dark, but it's also just... generally the aura any place with Philip is going to have, lol. Also, it could also correspond with our Collector's mental state, at least in hindsight when they've realized that Philip was using them. Notably, the value is even throughout the whole segment until 1:33, when King comes in, bringing back the brighter colors with him, which is again suitable for the way our Collector should be feeling right about now. The colors are still not as bright as in the beginning, still more similar to the middle segment, but now there're yellows instead of just the gloomy blues from before. (Compare 1:31 with 1:37) By the point our Collector has taken over, 1:44, the colors go back to how they were at the beginning. Blues and purples, black and white, and occasional orange. Since the part starting at 2:02 basically recaps what's already happened, it makes sense. We get the same pallette as the beginning as we see the Collectors again. Then Philip is as dull as ever! I think my favorite part, the one I give the most importance to, is that at 2:11 we go BACK to the Philip colors as (at least in our Collector's point of view) King essentially BECOMES Philip! It's perfect! 2:14 is unique. I don't think there's been a single frame all in oranges/orange-adjacent coloring until this. There were a few very orange frames at the start, but something about them was different (maybe because they had a lot of white, which this one has none of.) It definitely works to catch your eye as a frame that stands out from the rest, which is good since it lasts so long compared to the others. There ought to be something special about it to catch your attention. It looks nice. And then it all comes together for the perfect ending, 2:30. I don't know how to say this other than to say that I don't think it would have worked if the colors were more normal. Our Collector is isolated again as the only blue in the frame, and then joins the other, yellow-lineart characters and just, like, belongs I guess. I'm not sure how much of it is completely intentional, how much was subconscious, or how much I'm just overthinking it, but sometimes people can do something genius by pure accident anyways, so I don't think it really matters whether or not it was all perfectly planned out. In any case - fantastic job! (Edited to fix a timestamp)

This has to be the best GRRRLS animation I've seen yet! The fact you animated through the whole song, and had it hit every feeling grit and sense of weighted lore into the story is so amazing! I love the way you interpreted the Titans too, they look so epic and the other Collectors so much more terrifying! Thrilling yet pensive, that's honestly the best way to describe this work. The stylization and visual nods to the story is everything 🍂🙏🏿✨

WELP THIS AGED WELL

How is this so accurate??? Apollo cursed someone with the gift of prophecy again, I see.

2:08. Ok. This part I feel just stood out to me the most as it depicts the Collectors perspective on Luz as a person. The way he protectively hugs the "King" doll from the "evil banshee" scribble figure Luz trying to "take" his best friend away....😢😢😢❤

Not sure if anyone hasn't pointed it out yet but in 2:15 You can see that Luz is the only one who's eyes arent covered/against the collector. which is a pretty neat detail!

This is so cool! Not to mention, this also aged SPECTACULARLY after the final episode aired.

You actaully predicted the outcome of the episode sheesh.

Ur prediction came to life.

Everyone rewatching this after the finale

JUST CAM BACK AFTER WATCHING AND DREAMING HOLY CRAP YOU WERE LIKE RIGHT ON IT AS TO WHAT HAPPENED AND WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IN WaD

Congratulations, this is cannon now

This so beautifully made. The story, the colours and even the artstyle. All of it is so amazing, definitely my new favourite animatic for The Owl House.

Just realized luz and the collector’s stories are like exact parallels

Actually just made an animatic of the last episode before the last episode came out. Awesome.

HOW IS THIS SO ACCURATE??

I love how acuretly you got it right 😂

This is practically cannon now omg

It’s insane how much of this was correct

*POINTS AT YOU AGGRESIVELY* YOU PROPHET

This is literally the real collector lore God Damnit.

How is this so close to the actual lore before the collectors backstory was even given and the last special was released??? :o

you got... pretty much everything right-

CAME BACK AFTER THE SPECIAL AND HOLY GEEZ THIS WAS SUPER ACCURATE

This is incredibly well done, phenomenal work

Bro predicted the future

The collector is so underrated. Everyone blames him for everything and doesn't bother to get to know him. It's that sort of stereotype that gets others everytime. 😞

Looks like Apollo hit you with his red ball.

THIS JUST CEMENTED MY LOVE AND EMPATHY FOR THE COLLECTOR. The way everything was portrayed here is canon, until proven otherwise. It seems WAY too accurate, and real. Alongside that, the art style is *chef's kiss* sooo Good! I love the key detail where in Collector's perspective, Luz is a meanie that wants to steal king. And how King will abandon him too for Luz. This is so good, the song surprisingly fit too :D

I love this so much! He’s not the villain, he’s just a misunderstood child!

This hits different after the finale

I love how now that the finale episode has aired, I see how accurate your animation was to the backstory!

This hits so hard after the finale

Time traveler?-

I just watched "watching and dreaming" and it makes watching this even more fun

0:40 finally someone acknowledges Jean luke! I was starting to think Echoes of the past never existed!

he's just a little guy your honor

NO WAY YOU ACCTUALLY GOT THE ENDING RIGHT OMG

sheesh, after the final episode, bro predicted everything

The way your predictions were 100% accurate lol

you literally predicted the backstory almost one to one

This is incredible. I LOVE the transition from normal collector to shadow collector at 1:08 - the whole thing is insanely well done!

OMG HOW DID YOU KNOW??? YOU GOT THE ORIGIN STORY PRETTY MUCH DOWN PAT! THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED LOL

Bro really predicted the last episode

OMG THIS IS JUST AMAZING!!! I LOVED THE STYLE, THE COLORS, THE WAY YOU TELLED THIS LITTLE STORY... EVERYTHING'S PERFECT!!! IT MADE ME FEEL SO BAD FOR THE COLLECTOR. Like, he's just a kid! Just think about being a playful kid and being trapped for YEARS completely alone. I know some people want The Collector to be defeated, but I do hope my kid get a redemption arc. Good job!

LOVE how well this holds up after the finale

Bro discovered the plot before it happen

I literally was like "WOW THEY ANIMATED THIS SO FAST AFTER THE FINALE- ..... A month ago-? ..WHAT." I actually thought a month passed without me realizing and I was in a time skip 😭

Sooo who's here after finale?

The fact this is really close to his actual backstory is crazy. Also ur animation and art is so cool and beautiful🤌🤌❤❤✨️✨️

i had been watching this on repeat and then was shocked when i was watched the finale lol

It's crazy how acurate it is after watching the last episode

I didn't realize right away that this was made before the finale! Man you hit all of the beats practically perfectly. Bravo! 👏👏

2:00 THIS PART! God i could go on about it forever. A literal God, being controlled and betrayed by everyone aand everything he has ever loved, because at the end of the day he is just a child. PERFECTION!

This aged BEAUTIFULLY after Watching and Waiting and I love that so so much❤️⭐️🌘

YOU WERE RIGHT HOW

this is shockly right, almost 90% of that animatic actually happend, and this was from 4 weeks ago, you are so GOOD

I just watched watching and dreaming is amazing how accurate this is

After watching the new episode this is actually really accurate, and it's amazing

came back to remind you how accurately you interpreted and predicted this

I already loved The Collector, but I LOVE this way of viewing them. This animation is SO GOOD and coherent and it looks like there was a lot of effort put in. AND you got it out before the series ends! That’s impressive. Respect.

God seeing watching and dreaming you almost predicted the collectors fate

CW: WATCHING AND DREAMING SPOILERS I love how you litterally predicted finale. Like every second of this animatic is canon

I really wish we got more of collectors back story. They seem to have a big back story, but never got recognized for it.

I'm back after watching big finale and gotta say, this aged so well like a fine wine. You even portrayed Collector's past with older collectors and titans PERFECTLY. ❤

The way this predicted the Collector's backstory

How tf did you predict Gus's new haircut omfg

Damn this actually fits the story of the collector in the last episode!

I just cannot stop watch it is s cool and reflects exactly collector's trauma and mind, also is crazy how people put so much expectation and pressure in a little guy- just aaaaaa bring him a good family like mama Camila and Eda.

OH MY GOD!!! After watching the finale "Watching and Dreaming" this video is SOOOO fitting! I can't remember, was Collector's backstory told before, or Author predicted it?

how did you get their background so spot on?? i’m genuinely impressed by this, the art style and story telling is amazing.

The lyrics!!! They match up so so well!! Some of my personal highlights are as follows: 0:05 “Fake faces hiding everywhere” The Collectors wearing expressionless grins, reminiscent of theater masks. 0:11 “To hide their stolen air.” The Collectors appear on the word “stolen”, implying they’re strangers in the Titans’ world. 0:14 “Don’t you dare.” A warning. If our Collector dares to be friendly with the young Titans, consequence will befall him. 0:48 This entire segment! 1:24 “If you care.” It matches up with the Collector’s joy at seeing another living being who just may care about them. 1:29 “Snake oil, traitors, no one shares.” “Snake oil” appearing at Phillip’s face, representing his slippery-ness and how he’s able to easily charm the Collector, the Boiling Isles, and others. “Traitors” is sung when our Collector asks if Phillip will free him, foreshadowing the latter’s betrayal. “No one shares” as they make the promise. 1:43 this segment, with Raine-Belos appearing at the echoed lines, emphasizing parallels with the Collector and Belos, and how Belos uses those parallels to manipulate them. 2:11 “I’ll never sing along! I’ll never sing along!” Showing King makes it seem like he’s speaking to the Collector, or rather, what the Collector imagines his friend would say. The laughter afterwards punctuates their feeling of betrayal.

this aged extremely well because the finalie dropped like 2 days ago and you got everything spot on, ya'll can see the future, im calling it!

This is spectacular It must have taken ages!!!! It tells his entire backstory perfectly, im so impressed. Probably my favourite owl house animatic to be honest, it’s just so lovely and uugghhh I’m obsessed especially the bit at 2:00 where it just recaps everything so smoothly and oh my lord I love this so much

this aged so well with the finale lol it's also absolutely incredible regardless.

after watching the finale this just aged PERECTLY! Like fine wine! Keep up on the good work you are very talented!

Words can’t describe how amazing this is, also I’m going to just now imagine the before but to be canon bc it’s actually so perfect

how is this so spot on

It's weird how you got most of it correct

either I'm an idoit, or you predicted the collectors past. or you had an early preview i might be an idoit. anyway.amazing animatic. amazing work. could eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner

THIS IS INCREDIBLE OH MY GODDDD WTF every frame of this blew me away. AND THE SONG CHOICE OMFG!!!! everything about this is SO so good

seeing this after the finale, I say this was pretty accurate.👍

i love how you show that the collecter sees luz as a bad guy trying to take away king in 2:10! (ps please tell me if i interpreted it wrong ❤)

It's been 8 months, and I still can't believe how good this is. Every time I watch it, I find a new small detail I never noticed before, and I love it.
