I Know What's Beneath the Snow Fields ED Storyboard

For anyone familiar with the Final Fantasy VII Fanfic "I Know What's Beneath the Snow Fields" (Possibly the best work of FF7 fanfiction EVER, written by the AWESOME, WONDERFUL Zahra! link: http://exnihilozahra.com/snow%20fields%20main%20page.htm ), this is an idea I've had for a while now; to make an anime-style opening(OP) and ending(ED) 'animation' based on the fic. This happens to be the story board for the Ending animation. The song I chose to use for the sequence is "Ningyo Hime" by Rie Tanaka from the anime Chobits. I thought the english lyrics really suited the fic. Here they are:
--
At night, the town is quiet like the bottom of the ocean
I continue down the road by myself
Guided by the distant voice
I keep searching for the soft blue light


Hey I discovered myself within
And my spirit calls out to me
No matter how far away I am, I can hear it


The silver light burns within every room
I walk around hoping for it anywhere, surely


Hey I found you
And so, without leaving you again
No matter how much I hurt inside I'll always be near you
I'll never release
Your hand that I held


Hey I found you
And so, without leaving you again
No matter how much I hurt inside I'll always be near you
Forever
Forever

Sorry for the crappy artwork in spots, but it IS only a storyboard, and all of these were drawn in a little under an hour. But this is getting long, so for anyone who has questions and/or comments, leave them in the form of a comment or a message, please ^_^ Thank you!

IKWBTSF owns!

It's much better than the crappy fan-movie "Advent Children" and the fan-game "Dirge of Cerberus" (both of which have very little to do with FF7 at all).

SnowFields feels more "official" anyway...

I agree with everything said 100%! Plus it's the original AerVin xDDD Story's had me hooked since I was 12 T_T I'm 18 now! lol

i can really visualize this as an opening, i'm currently animating in college by hand, it's hard business :(

[chibiaeris027]

Well, I figured that about 10 FPS would work on this. I could try to loop it to make it easier, since a lot of it would be fine that way. It's the coloring part that's gonna' be fun xD That's sarcasm ;D But the end product should be worth it. I'm hoping to find a tracing table to make things a bit easier. *shrug* I'm going to put a lot of effort into it though!

where can i get it

[Silvershrines]

AMAZING!

[Saktmodig]

I haven't read the whole fanfiction yet (I've just started all over again after having not read it for several years), but it's definately my favourite. This idea is amazingly good, and the song is fitting! ^.^

[KawaiiKinesis]

Sorry for the late response, but I do plan to animate this eventually. I'm just uber lazy, haha. But now that I have a tablet things might be easier on me. Thanks for the kind words!

[KonaSaku]

It is a bit late to agree, but well, yes i agree! xD

Besides, nifty idea! Do you still work on the final version? :3

[rookie66]

also as well i listened to the actual tune as well but it doesnt have the same feel as when i listen to it with this animatic:) very good work

[rookie66]

hey im really impressed with this storyboard you made, it actually inspires me to make a animation out of this but unfortunately im starting back uni soon soo i got my own work to do:( u in uni at the moment? u planning to make a animation outta this?
