1 00:00:02,730 --> 00:00:21,210 [Music] 2 00:00:22,329 --> 00:00:30,339 I remember last year seen the teaser for 3 00:00:28,719 --> 00:00:32,229 children of the night and needless to 4 00:00:30,339 --> 00:00:34,450 say nearly shooting myself in the shock 5 00:00:32,229 --> 00:00:36,308 of the awe and wonder and who wouldn't 6 00:00:34,450 --> 00:00:38,170 under the Phantom had so much creativity 7 00:00:36,308 --> 00:00:40,238 and heart in their effort but this was 8 00:00:38,170 --> 00:00:42,010 beyond that level it was a disney-esque 9 00:00:40,238 --> 00:00:44,049 animation while accurately rooting down 10 00:00:42,009 --> 00:00:46,299 to the art style of the show in rich and 11 00:00:44,049 --> 00:00:47,799 vibrant colors given how much effort was 12 00:00:46,299 --> 00:00:49,659 put into this it was quite obvious that 13 00:00:47,799 --> 00:00:52,149 this project was going to take a while 14 00:00:49,659 --> 00:00:53,558 before its completion but out of all the 15 00:00:52,149 --> 00:00:55,539 fan works that were put in production 16 00:00:53,558 --> 00:00:57,579 this honestly was the one I was looking 17 00:00:55,539 --> 00:00:59,859 forward to the most and with much weight 18 00:00:57,579 --> 00:01:01,478 it has finally paid off I should add 19 00:00:59,859 --> 00:01:03,698 that this is a music video and the video 20 00:01:01,478 --> 00:01:04,150 itself is approximately 400 1/2 minutes 21 00:01:03,698 --> 00:01:05,890 long 22 00:01:04,150 --> 00:01:07,540 all other fan works are reviewed so far 23 00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:09,368 have been at least 15 minutes or so so 24 00:01:07,540 --> 00:01:10,990 for anyone behind this project and is 25 00:01:09,368 --> 00:01:12,609 watching this please excuse me if I make 26 00:01:10,989 --> 00:01:14,259 this review longer than the video itself 27 00:01:12,609 --> 00:01:16,840 there's quite an interesting amount of 28 00:01:14,260 --> 00:01:18,880 detail to go over children of the night 29 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,560 was animated by two artists Richard 30 00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:22,629 Lionheart Sir voice and Jordana 31 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,490 spearguns Ellis it features a song 32 00:01:22,629 --> 00:01:26,530 performed by Katie wrote on Covington 33 00:01:24,489 --> 00:01:28,209 entitled come little children which was 34 00:01:26,530 --> 00:01:30,370 a musical cover of the same name from 35 00:01:28,209 --> 00:01:32,679 the infamous Disney flick hocus pocus in 36 00:01:30,370 --> 00:01:35,109 further historical detail it was once a 37 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,550 poem written by Edgar Allan Poe as the 38 00:01:35,109 --> 00:01:38,530 song was originally portrayed as a hip 39 00:01:36,549 --> 00:01:40,480 not a call on the movie it was utilized 40 00:01:38,530 --> 00:01:42,489 to represent a form a positive escapism 41 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,109 to the viewers what followed as a 42 00:01:42,489 --> 00:01:45,670 premise about a rebellious formation 43 00:01:44,109 --> 00:01:47,980 where Luna is provided some company by 44 00:01:45,670 --> 00:01:49,840 her Conrad ponies overnight fearing that 45 00:01:47,980 --> 00:01:51,760 the land would split the formation was 46 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,189 declined by Celestia and thus it was 47 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,950 taken into secrecy no pony knows that we 48 00:01:54,189 --> 00:01:57,658 are still here 49 00:01:55,950 --> 00:02:00,689 smiling beneath the moonlight while 50 00:01:57,659 --> 00:02:05,420 remembering our dear mother for we will 51 00:02:00,688 --> 00:02:07,828 forever be her children of the night as 52 00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:09,568 the video shows the foster on the 53 00:02:07,828 --> 00:02:11,128 homeless children are taken into flight 54 00:02:09,568 --> 00:02:13,229 of their life as they're taken away by 55 00:02:11,128 --> 00:02:15,120 Luna over the skies it's only at this 56 00:02:13,229 --> 00:02:16,469 point I can understand the concept but 57 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,569 there were some portions that were left 58 00:02:16,469 --> 00:02:20,219 a little under explained because of this 59 00:02:18,568 --> 00:02:21,839 there's a strong possibility that it 60 00:02:20,219 --> 00:02:23,580 could leave a wrongful impression to the 61 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:26,069 narrative portion for anyone who watches 62 00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:27,959 this neutrally on an faq page on their 63 00:02:26,068 --> 00:02:29,818 blog two last questions were of concern 64 00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:31,739 in the following what will happen to the 65 00:02:29,818 --> 00:02:33,530 children and is she dropping them to 66 00:02:31,739 --> 00:02:35,340 their death is she taken their souls 67 00:02:33,530 --> 00:02:37,049 given that the lyrics have had a 68 00:02:35,340 --> 00:02:38,629 negative impression before this it's 69 00:02:37,049 --> 00:02:40,920 pretty natural to think of it this way 70 00:02:38,629 --> 00:02:42,090 however the two artists have responded 71 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,129 to these following questions 72 00:02:42,090 --> 00:02:45,959 responding to the seventh question so 73 00:02:44,129 --> 00:02:47,669 we'll find out in good time isn't it 74 00:02:45,959 --> 00:02:49,409 more fun to find out by yourselves than 75 00:02:47,669 --> 00:02:51,238 asking for a spoiler and the eighth 76 00:02:49,409 --> 00:02:52,799 question that is not the story I am 77 00:02:51,239 --> 00:02:54,810 telling but I believe that anyone can 78 00:02:52,799 --> 00:02:57,209 interpret it as they want to whatever 79 00:02:54,810 --> 00:02:59,250 you like best with the addition of the 80 00:02:57,209 --> 00:03:00,900 OC character designs my guess would be 81 00:02:59,250 --> 00:03:02,939 that there would be a series or story 82 00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:04,859 later on within the Fillies and the time 83 00:03:02,939 --> 00:03:07,139 period of Luna and Celestia early years 84 00:03:04,859 --> 00:03:08,879 of Equestria at the same time it's come 85 00:03:07,139 --> 00:03:10,980 to a subjective perspective that leads 86 00:03:08,879 --> 00:03:13,680 us to decide however we feel about Lunas 87 00:03:10,979 --> 00:03:15,179 intentions in my opinion on Lucy Luna 88 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,459 doing the favor for the homeless and 89 00:03:15,180 --> 00:03:19,230 foster children while they're taken away 90 00:03:17,459 --> 00:03:20,909 I tighly probable they'll she'll take 91 00:03:19,229 --> 00:03:22,919 him into her custody to grow her 92 00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:24,568 formation this could also explain more 93 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,858 behind the opening scene when Gauri was 94 00:03:24,568 --> 00:03:28,229 read in her journal and as our cave 95 00:03:25,859 --> 00:03:30,150 while I have said it could be obvious 96 00:03:28,229 --> 00:03:31,798 according to what's on screen I wouldn't 97 00:03:30,150 --> 00:03:33,539 want to jump to conclusions and implied 98 00:03:31,799 --> 00:03:35,280 that's what the intended narrative was I 99 00:03:33,539 --> 00:03:37,469 can only find out sooner or later to 100 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,359 have loose ends tied or just believe it 101 00:03:37,469 --> 00:03:41,219 that way the last thing I want to do is 102 00:03:39,359 --> 00:03:43,409 misrepresent the project to the viewers 103 00:03:41,219 --> 00:03:45,329 and insult the animators disregarding 104 00:03:43,409 --> 00:03:47,009 any miss guidances the animation is 105 00:03:45,329 --> 00:03:48,540 what's been said already but the scenery 106 00:03:47,009 --> 00:03:50,098 the color scheme and the overall 107 00:03:48,539 --> 00:03:52,500 atmosphere is just gorgeous to lay eyes 108 00:03:50,098 --> 00:03:54,268 upon there's more to good animations at 109 00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:56,549 just the animation alone and it clearly 110 00:03:54,269 --> 00:03:58,200 shows the music is a very solid 111 00:03:56,549 --> 00:04:00,030 inclusion and supportive choice for its 112 00:03:58,199 --> 00:04:02,039 visual appeal bringing out that calm 113 00:04:00,030 --> 00:04:04,560 relaxing feeling and having that great 114 00:04:02,039 --> 00:04:06,298 sense of escapism later on to these two 115 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,459 artists I think this may be my favorite 116 00:04:06,299 --> 00:04:09,719 fan work so far I look forward to your 117 00:04:08,459 --> 00:04:11,479 next project heaven's lie 118 00:04:09,719 --> 00:04:14,469 which was an earlier production prior 119 00:04:11,479 --> 00:04:17,628 kudos and well done 120 00:04:14,469 --> 00:04:17,629 [Music] 121 00:04:20,620 --> 00:04:23,720
