Dream Thieves (Animated Videoclip)

[Phatency]

Wait, I said nothing about the video. It's awesome! Most likely the best flash video I've ever seen. Why is it in such a low quality here though?

[Phatency]

Wow, I never knew this song was about piracy, and I've heard it so many times... A quote from Tony: "I was very angry at a few people when I wrote this, and frankly, I had to tune the whole thing down few degrees and add my frustration for the illegal exploitation of my work, fucking pirates! Quite an aggressive song from us, I hope you like it."

[lawlietxxx67]

anybody know the menu music ?

[Osukaanimations]

@lawlietxxx67 The song used in the Intro is DRAW ME (Instrumental)

In the Flash Version, I used a "Paid in Full" loop

[lawlietxxx67]

@Osukaanimations could u upload the paid in full loop version if u still have it ?

[joey718543]

i just saw this on newgrounds and neede a faster way to replay

[evanescence9314]

this is eyond everything awesome! I'm majoring/studying digital animation, I promess to Sonata I will make them a tribute too!

[darkzero21]

I've watched this so many times on newgrounds. Glad to see it's on youtube. I freaking love this video!

[karlozarctico]

this video is EPIC!

thank you  ;D

[TalakDroma]

when I was in the military I special orderd all thier cd's and when I got out homers sold thier new albem shades of grey it rocked.

[shadesk8]

From 3:24 viewers are getting the middle finger for a few times :D

[Squad13Lostsoldier]

That was just ......EPIC!!!! good work

[MYLASTDESTINYtheband]

this is quite frankly EPIC

[cbyram93]

This is one of the best Flash movies I've ever seen... I hope someday I'll be able to animate as good as this ^^

[FrakintheboX]

...That's was so amazing I had to watch it twice. All of that was made in flash? Beautiful job. Well done! God I can't get over how epic that was. :)

[kami666volk3n]

I loved

Sonata Arctica love and to say very good animation.

In addition it reminded me Invader Zim.

5 stars

[dracoj]

I saw this on Newgrounds I gotta say I still love it XD

[SEEKER1019]

Awesome video! I literally cheered when Jani made his epic appearance at the end, and Tony's facial expressions were priceless!

It is unbelievable the amount of references you put into this video. It feels like I find another each time I watch it. Here's hoping for another! (Maybe San Sebastian or Destruction Preventer)

[numb19029]

I saw the flash once, what was the song in the credits? x.x

Btw,my opinion on pirated music: I think they should make downloading and spreading legal (with disclaimer of course), and that artists should earn their money mostly by giving concerts, to let fans show themselves

[piekraft]

Best fanmade video I have ever seen. Ever. (Better than a lot of official ones, actaully)

[eatallpiepods]

I... I don't think I have words for the awesome DD: That is so good, really truly amazing... in a way, better than the official Sonata videos xD They should employ you as the concept designer for the videos, at least ;)

The whole thing worked beautifully but one thing I especially liked was the use of both logos at the end :3

[petrcal]

Wow, how long did it take to make this video???

[wisiano]

esta genial , sorprendente, quiero ver mas asi, wooow, 5 estrellas y a favoritos.

[TheSchmidtrich]

O.O AWESOME!!! 5*

[lethimios]

in 2:13 is lie "Silence" don't you think

[BoundWithDuctTape]

this is AWESOME!

and lol @ henrik with the traffic cone on his head xD

[gtarbmx]

my favorite video ever!

[ANTTU24]

Fucking sick man!! awesome job! i love the song, maybe the best bonus song of the speedy ones!

[raptorstricken132]

sweet and simple comment: THIS SONG KICKS ALL ASS

[SacraOfTheWild]

I love you forever for making this, and no, it's not in a weird way. The effects are so awesome, and I love the story of the video, and I think it plays in well to the song. I LOVE that you used Silence cover in part of it as well. GREEN LIGHTNING PWNS.

I totally squealed when I saw it the first time. And I just saw it again (not seeing it in months) and I squealed twice. I absolutely LOVE this video. I gave it 5 stars, but it deserves more. You should totally make other videos of their songs.

[koakahal]

wow. i'm soo happy you made this, just made my day. the eyes remind me of jhonen vasquez' arts.

[DamnEdge]

Legendary

I wish I had the time to make something like this. Truly brilliant

[mechagoku]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!!!!!­!!!

[awesomeman532]

This is very good, well drawn, and seemed fitting for the music!

[MrOmniNerd]

@awesomeman532 Hey Ryan, Guess who?

[Cyb3rR4ptor]

My fac song from them ^_^ Sweet vid :3

Though is it me or it's missing the 'this is my vision...'' part? and the second prechorus etc? ... Maybe it's only another version, I dunno, I'm no expert.

I so love this vid though. They should inspire of it if they intended to make a vid of it :3 That's how awesome you are.

[Cyb3rR4ptor]

syr bout that, meant ''fav'' ^^'

[SOTPRock]

It's missing the part you mentioned. Still cool though.

[CuriousBlackKitten]

Beautiful. I want this.  I want this a lot.

[MegaBROD2500]

Is it wrong to say that this song is sad yet epic. (Also Ilike your animation style). I how did you come up with the story of the little girl was that a friend enduring hard times.

[L4MD4]

This is awesome.

What is the song in the beginning before Dream Thieves starts?

[yrusb]

whoa fuck this must have been a fuckin piece of work

but it was worth the work!!!! :D 12 1/2*

[DoucheMonk]

Can I ask what's the opening music piece you used?

Thanks.

By the way I love your flash animations, they are very SUPERB!

[Osukaanimations]

thanks :D

the intro song is Draw Me (Instrumental)

can be found ond "The End of This Chapter" Japanese Edition, or in the "Replica 2006" single

[vagitoe]

i came

[shadowpuppet223]

man i want this for my ipod but they dony have the song:(

[Osukaanimations]

yeah is hard to find the song for ipod because you can find it only in 2 rare CDS :(

Broken and Takatalvi

[exfmaster666]

great job!

[TalakDroma]

Osukaanimations

Because of you I ordered 3 of thier cd's This song as well as Black and white, Distruction preventer, and wolf and raven are among my favrites

[sim901]

I can't believe people don't notice this song is about piracy (Illegal downloading of music)

[renegadeh]

woah woah woah, piracy? evaluate :o

i never really got into much more then this being one hell of a great music video ++LOVE THE MUSIC ommgggg i went to a concert thing of them!! KYAAAAAAAAAA!!!(they were awesome :D)

:o not all of the lyrics ever made sense to me... sold at black market? stole what you need? ehh huh? ''download new lies on your scythe'' (scythe never made sense to me. check the newgrounds version:x)

[Osukaanimations]

for me the songs of Sonata Arctica can be interpretated in different ways, i choosed this one, but also can be used for a song against piracy. In the book of the Album "Silence" in the Special Thanks says to the people who make illegal copies: FUCK YOU!!!

i remember i readed that. When i arrive at my home i will tell you XD

[harryjarry13]

this is the most asome band!! love the vid.

They seem both to be difficult to find, though...

[tttsolcher]

I have tried everything to get this song for my ipod but its still unfound....

[shakgriig]

[Phocion]

Absolutely amazing!

[Seph123ff7]

Wow, i'm astonished that you simply made all of those animations, let alone combining those to make a stunning music video. Absolutely fantastic video, not too much more you could ask for. Honestly, it's hard to overstate my satisfaction

[BlackDuckie]

Very nice animation on a nice song, i enjoyed it very much and i liked the artistic direction ;) keep up the good work !

[darkraizon]

Damt!! Fcking Rox!!!

only just say! ROX!!!

i think that this clip can be an oficial clip xD!

[RoyHughes]

very nice attempt, its not perfect but I like it, gotta give ya props just for putting your time into it, well done.

[VOIDrock]

Don't listen to those moronic whelps, Osuka.

The animation you coupled with the song is wonderful and very delightful to watch spring into action.

So, in short: good song, good animation.

[abacus4]

anime is for fucking autistic fags

[rodney1120]

Dude, stfu, what's your problem with people who love Anime??? It's just our hobby.

[ExRxIxC]

So you like it?

[Petesama]

A really awesomely done video, my friend! Respect for you

[smitened]

SONATA ARCTICA 4 EVA

[smitened]

P.S. the chick is hot in black and in the beggining

[gtarbmx]

real girls are hotter, lmao

[Davmetal]

I like it very much, too bad Youtube fucks up Quality

D.vid from Newgrounds

[panzerete]

excellent i really lke it keep it like that bro the metal never die!!!

[EdenEchoes]

I noticed you were inspired by the 'Silence' cover at 2:15, right? ;) and some other things... awesome idea and very well done! And I love Sonata Arctica too ^^

[Trynahata]

Which colour represents which season??

I /think/...

Blue = Winter

Green = Spring

Red = Autumn

White = Summer

Except I think they're wrong... o.O

[rodney1120]

I would say:

Green = Spring (because animals and plants get out of hibernation)

Red = Summer (because it's the hottest season)

Blue = Autumn (don't know the reason =P)

White = Winter (because of snow)

[sakakuzi]

I think It may be like elements of nature

Green being life,vegetation or nature

Red being fire

Blue being water

Brown being earth,dirt etc

White being metal

[rodney1120]

White would then be Wind I think

[sakakuzi]

Ahh I did not think Of that.I was kind of going by the 5 element chart thing, but for it to be right Earth would have to be yellow

[Osukaanimations]

I think that the colors reprresent the 4 seasons, this was inspired on the winterhearth guild book art.

Blue for winter

Green Spring

Red Summer

Black Autumn/Fall

[Trynahata]

THIS IS DA BEST <3!!!!!!!!!!!

[Trynahata]

I swear this is on FlashPortal... oh well, it roxx!!!

[herogoldenshades]

a powerful amv. Keep up the good work.

[kizumuki]

This really holds the whole feel of the song really well 5 stars!

Rock needs to stay like this forever!
