[Finished!] Artist and Animator needed for Vocaloid Original [Video Uploaded]

I really need an artist for my vocaloid original song as well as an animator because I can't really upload it to YouTube without a video to go with it.

I know this is probably not the website to ask this on, but I really need the help.

Here's a link to the song:

https://soundcloud.com/fluefaker/vocaloid-original-vale-of-tears-avanna

I would really appreciate your help.

Here are the Lyrics.

Because it is quite a sad song, I didn't really know what to do for a video. I thought that there could just be art and an audio spectrum with lyrics.

The story is basically about someone dealing with mental health issues where they are not really sure what "reality" is anymore, so I suppose that abstract would work.

In terms of art, I'm not really sure. I think, as long as it shows the suffering of the character, it doesn't really matter. I just realized that I'm very unhelpful...

As I said, I really don't know. Video making is not really my forte...

Thank you for taking the time to reply

For Avanna, I think she should be wearing a simple dress such as this, this, this or this rather than her usual outfit.

Thank you for your help! I'll ask around on raidcall

Do you still need an animator? 8D
I've always wanted to animate for an original song, and I do have some vision after listening to your beautiful song!
I think it'd go well in this style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8giHlLlKrA
Or if you'd like something with the lake atmosphere in that cover photo, this one will look pretty nice too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv4oO5J5zBo
Anyways if you still need animator I can link you some sample later C:

I've been doing chorus animations mostly, so hopefully this works 8D:

Your so good at animating   Anyway, I would really appreciate your help on this project. 

I'm not really sure what to say, but.... yeah - I would really like it if you could animate for me
Please can you tell me what sort of art/how much art you would like for the video?

Aww thank you!! ^u^
Can't wait to work on it!

As for art, it depends on what you prefer! Do you have anything in mind in terms of atmosphere or background?

Hmmm, I'm not really sure... I'm not very helpful, am I? XD

In terms of atmosphere, I want it to come across as sort of "smiling through pain" in a way. As I said, I'm not really sure - it depends what you plan to do for the video, really.

Sorry if I come across as rude in some of our conversations - I'm not really good at knowing what to say and how to phrase it so... yeah...

Nah it's fine! =D
I can make anything work as long as you like it! ^ ^

So far I have two versions in my mind:

(1) Soft and gentle
- aiming towards watercolor-liked atmosphere, but also depends on artist's style~
- clean/light colors
- animation mostly slow panning
eg: Blackcat I posted above / glow 

(2) deep and sorrowful
- a bit more dramatic 
- at night time, in a lake/sea with moon
- blue tint
eg: tears I posted above / undefined 

Feel free to tell me which one you'd prefer, and if you have other styles in mind, that's okay too! ^ ^

I really like the emotion of the second one, but I also like the simplicity of the first one. I really don't know XD

Which one would you prefer to do? I'll discuss the art style with the artist and get back to you asap.

Right, I can work with either one of the style, so whichever you prefer ^^ Also Imma just drop this here

outfit design thing:

OMG, I love your design! She looks so pretty

As for the hairstyle, I quite like the second one. It terms of the dress, I think the second colour scheme is good because it screams "AVANNA", but the second one suits the song well.

As for the poses, Catalyst has given me a list of poses that she likes:

Poses:

She would also like to know how many different pics you would like to draw.

I really appreciate your help (I know I keep saying that, but I'm so overcome by the feeling of happiness and appreciation that I have to tell you as often as possible XD)

Hmmm... Yeah, that sounds good

Thank you!
As for the moon lake background, would you mind to only draw the sky and moon (maybe some bushes), but without the water?
I'm gonna make her stand in the water with 3D space like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qr_Cpdi-UTo&t=0m55s

Anything larger than 1920x1080 would be fine!
I could do puppeting. If you don't mind separating the layers then sure! ^ ^

Thank you! ^ ^
And for the clouds and stars I can animate them. Maybe separate the moon/bushes etc. So I can put them all in 3D spaces? =D
Thanks a lot!

Awesome! Thanks a lot! 8D
