Red Like Roses (RWBY) - Fan Animation

helped with SFX: @TheLegodude102 Patreon: I plan on proving to the world that the future I see for myself isn't just a dream, but a reality. Brief Summary of this video: The quote at the beginning is Ruby's feelings towards her mother with a lot of symbolism of the seasons. if you didn't notice, as Ruby walks through the forest in the beginning, it goes from October, to Winter, to Spring, back to October. that's only 3 seasons, because Summer is gone. In the Red Trailer, Ruby shows a playful little smile as she kills the beowolves. In this, Ruby is not shown to have a smile proving that she is more unstable emotionally in this scene. As Ruby fights, her grief begins to take over as she starts seeing her mother staring back at her in the forest. Ruby is overcome with sadness. As Summer Rose turns to walk back into the forest Ruby chases her, not seeming to care about the possibility of Summer just being in her imagination. as the fight goes on, more Grimm show up, attracted by the scent of Ruby's emotions. in the end Ruby is unarmed with her hood ripped off. In one final push towards her mother Ruby uses her speed semblance to go straight through the final grimm like a bullet. Only when she reaches out to her mother, Summer scatters into white petals. 'Thus Kindly I Scatter' Ruby watches as the petals fly off into the sunset. Now coming back to the cold realization that Summer is not coming back. all leading back to the symbolism in the beginning of the video. Brief little summary of this project: I started this video on 7/14/2022. it's been about 7 months since I started. The last project I had animated was the Dead Fantasy Alternate video, which was made in Source Filmmaker. I helped animate both of the RUBY OVA's on Cake Stations channel, however this is the first project I have done completely by myself in Blender. I learned a lot during this project, enough to where I wish I can go back and make a lot of things better. But I can't keep spending time on this project, I have to move on even if I couldn't execute it as well as I wanted.
