"Midnight Locomotive" has surpassed 400 views

Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. This is FANTASY-AI.

I have some happy news to share.
"Midnight Locomotive," which I published on YouTube, has finally surpassed 400 views!

Out of all the videos I have released so far, this is the first one to reach 400 views. It feels like I've taken the next step, and I'm very happy about it.

A work I wasn't actually very satisfied with

This might come as a bit of a surprise, but
to be honest, when I first published it, I wasn't very satisfied with how it turned out.
I felt like, "Well, I guess this is it."
Looking back now, I think that was a bit of a waste, but that was truly how I felt at the time.

The work that became the catalyst for shifting to clay animation

However, once I published it, the situation changed completely.
The response from friends who knew I was posting videos on YouTube was much greater than I had imagined.
I was honestly surprised to hear things like, "This is good," and "I want to see more."

Even though I thought it was just "okay," the reaction from those around me far exceeded that.
This difference in perspective was very striking, and
it was precisely this "Midnight Locomotive" that became the catalyst for me to seriously shift gears and start making videos using clay animation.

In other words, this work is more than just a single video; it is a work I feel very strongly about, as it determined the very direction of the FANTASY-AI channel.

It became a series, and now I even show the daily life of the train driver

Since then, the clay animation has become a series,
and now I have started making many works that depict the daily life of the train driver.
Among them, my personal favorite is "Dance It Strange."
It's a video where the train driver and his pet dog get caught up in a world of strange dancing.
That was simply fun to make, and it's a work I've watched over and over again.

Which clay animation MV do you all like?
Please let me know in the comments if you'd like!

I plan to release a new work within this month

Recently, I have been focusing mainly on producing Japanese-style MVs, but
I am also gradually working on clay animation in parallel.
I plan to release a new clay animation work within this month, so
I would be happy if you could look forward to it.

To give you a little spoiler about the content,
it is planned to be an MV that is a parody of a certain movie.
As for which movie it is, I'll leave that as a surprise for after it's released...!
