Today we have a rather chilling animation from Silly Filly Studios. At a mere two minutes, it’s certainly worth your time to watch it. Those of you who play League of Legends might recognize the song, apparently.
“Vanity of day holds thee entwined
Driven by hubris and boiling with sin.
Masked by the sun, to truth you are blind
Slaves of the light that you may bask within.
Coolness of gloom oft reveals the truth
Safeguard against the cruel light.
Rise, Lunar Princess, bring darkness eternal.
Protect us, shrouded in everlasting Night.”

—Authors notes—
I’d like to give a shout out as well to Spiritto and Lionheart (the team behind Children of the Night) for some intuitive help on their blog, http://firstnightmarenight.blogspot.ca/ You’ll notice this drew a bit of inspiration from their work.
I’ve wanted to animate something with Luna involving Daylight’s End the moment I heard it. This was my first time working so heavily with After Effects. The end result not only produced one of my favorite works to date, but also (with help from HC, one of our top vector and effects artists) granted me a lot of experience with After Effects and Illustrator.
Snowdrop is still underway, and can be expected to have similar levels of visual aesthetic.
Also, yes I was the one who wrote the poem. :3
