So I've decided to make an AMV [animated music video] on yt for Warriors using the song The Death Of The Cog by The Cog Is Dead [don't you just LOVE band anthems? X3]. I literally looked up 'creepy weird psycho songs for a warriors amv' on yt.
It took me a while to decide which characters or parts in the Warrior's series I'd make it about. In the song [I'll post the lyrics below] they mention about murdering 'the cog' so I was looking for the most murderous character in the warrior's series and someone who's accusing them and whatever. It came to Tigerstar as the murderer but the accuser could be Bluestar or Firestar and since the singer is male I went with Firestar. Bluestar would have been a better choice because she actually did go insane for two books, but it had to be male.
I'm a little worried about Firestar being seen as crazy in this so imma just call it passionate.
In the song they are talking about a clock, the murderer/Mr. Hamilton invented digital clocks while the accuser is saying that digital clocks are bad and the old analog clocks are better. Like Tigerstar wanting to change the clans into two and Firestar saying it should stay the same. But Tigerstar and Firestar will both come off as insane or mad in the amv.
I don't really like how Firestar is creatively insulting Tigerstar, calling him a 'contemptible dog' in the first verse or 'dirty fiend'. Firestar will come off as vengeful which is totally not him I know. But this could possibly come across at how determined a leader he is. He could well be out for revenge because of all the horrible things Tigerstar has done, especially since he caused Bluestar's insanity and death. Bluestar was like a mother figure to Firestar.
What bugs me the most is that in our modern society, would you pick the old clocks over digital ones? Probably not, they are easier to read and change/new inventions are good. This will make Tigerstar look like a good guy in a sense so I will try to make him look as evil and crazy in the animation to kind of make Firestar look less like he's out for revenge cause that's not him. Prepare for Firestar screamo at the end X3
This is pretty useless but I guess I just needed to vent. And if you possibly have any ideas on how to make Firestar like he actually is or if you have another idea for the murderer and the accuser post please! Character change is okay, I only have 8 frames done. But I am definitely doing this song. I would really like feedback on this!
The Cog Is Dead - The Death Of The Cog Lyrics
Oh, Mr. Hamilton, what have you done?
Look at this terrible trend you've begun!
You make me sick, you contemptible dog,
I blame you for the death of the cog!
Clocks used to be such magnificent things
Beautiful sprockets and dazzling springs
But you gave the people your digital beast
And in turn now all gears are deceased
How things have changed from when I was a boy!
Clockwork would tick and would bring me much joy
But, with your advent, there's no need to wind--
Everything charming has been left behind!
Oh, Mr. Hamilton, you dirty fiend
Your modern timepiece is cruel and obscene!
I was a lover of gears great and small
They all were my friends and you've murdered them all!
Aaaahhh...
How could a person commit such a crime--
To murder immaculate keepers of time?
Why should a person so foul get away?
Hamilton, you're gonna pay!
So, Mr. Hamilton, just watch your back
Hide all those digital clocks on your rack
They'll soon end up smashed to bits in a bog
Because you, you, you, you, YOU
Caused the DEATH OF THE COG!
Aaaahhh...
