Dark Woods Circus - Vocaloid Fan Animation
Ойын-сауық
PLEASE WATCH IN HD
Edit - fixed a few small misplaced bits as well as re-shifted the audio, so you could rock out to this tune if you want to uvu
A little over a week in the making, Dark Woods Circus is an animation inspired by Thai shadow puppetry. Using the original music video and lyrics as a basis, I was able to create something that I felt captured my vision of the song. All art used in this animation was direct drawn by hand using a mouse and Photoshop.

When Haku appeared, should be considered a jumpscare.

Thank you for the warning ,I paused just in time
The characters were rendered in photoshop as seperate pieced PNGs, and were assembled together to give the illusion of motion in Sony Vegas. It was a pretty time consuming process, but well worth it. :)
The animation for this song is remarkably well done. The lineless art style and the movement of the characters perfectly matches the dark theme of this song and it gives you a pretty good idea of what's going on.
MY GOD YOU MANAGED TO MAKE KAITO'S PART SO MUCH CREEPIER!

(spoken) You're here! you're here!! Tonight we will be showing… The sad fate of the unlucky few in this world Restless children God abandoned Children who can't even carry their own deformed limbs Accidently screaming with their rotten tongues The tops of their heads surrounded by darkness Smiling, as if to simulate a mother’s embrace OH! The deformity The deformity Come see them! Come see them! (sung) Deep in the woods Deep in the dark of night Lying inside Is the dark woods circus Meet the chairman With his happy wide eyes Where he's standing Next to stilts of 10 feet The actors are Tangled and misshapen Odd as they are, They are entertaining This strange circus Inside the deep forest Everyone here seems to be so happy The body with 2 heads Show And a deformed woman that still sings A man that eats anything it wants a blue beast that you will see at the show I didn't want this Nor this life I lead Not something that some cruel God had gave to me Why does everyone look at me as if To say That my face will never be pretty It is so painful It is so hurtful Is what my sister always says to me but It still continues the circus will stay No one ever cares how we feel in this maze It is oh so fun It is oh so fun this circus we work at is so much fun to me Apples turning brown Apples rotting down Who cares if our eyes won't close up and sleep But I want to die But I want to die Please kill me so I can leave this horrid place When I asked them see They rejected me saying “no that will be quite impossible” (spoken) The body is distorted with a twisted figure Crawling on the street with paper lanterns Everyone knows walking down the street But the children cower alone The shadows really do reach long Friends “joined at the hip” as they say You look to the past when you are alone You're here! you're here!! Come see them! Come see them! Come to the dark woods circus Isn't it fun!?

why did I laugh when the Haku popped on screen also this is outstanding and very well made, so creepy and somber in a way, like the story line itself, and it captures that perfectly(also how before the twins sing it has them in their vocaloid outfits but still sewn together, I like it)
I love this so much more than the original-
*claps slowly*
... It's even better with Len & Rin
THIS. THIS IS AMAZING. The art style is rather simple-looking yet very detailed in a way, as well as quite haunting. A perfect match for this song. Your mentioned inspiration from Thai shadow puppetry was very well executed. ...I sound like a teacher. Bottom line: AWESOME.
Did you make this version yourself? I like it a lot more than the old one, it feels creepier.
frigging haku gets me everytime
Very fitting to the theme of the song, love it :D
I just wanna say this is amazing OQO Extremely happy with how they all turned out ((Expecially Kaito)) and just the look~
Miku and Len sang their lines on their second part very well!
I Love it! I love the animation you did! So creative! And even though most of the characters are in a black hue, I nearly thought Miku looks pretty
this is the best version i have seen. ever.
It would be amazing if something like this was on TV at Halloween time...
I can't help say it looks like cirque du freak

Wow I just love how this is layed out and the angles,the shadows of the characters and just the sound and atmispire make this fantastic plus it gives a sereal vison on what this place would be like and look like that I have no others words to say but-claps hands-Well done!
Good work, beatiful use of colours and shadows.
This is just. Outstanding! It captures the feels and sorrow of their lives.
I love the music :) though its dark, the animation and tune is amazing

Supposedly during the Edo period (kinda like before and during world war 1) many families were poor and had little money, so they sold unwanted children: orphans, the homeless, devil children etc. They were then experimented on (like transplants and shit) and the ones who survived would be put into freak shows. Some even speculate that if they did something wrong or misbehaved they had acid thrown on them or were tortured. But then, it says Kaito has a brain transplant for a dog's and Rin and Len's heads were decapitated and sewn back on onto one body, and currently that could never be done with them surviving so chances are it's bogus.

Fishy Boi It never says that directly, but there is a fan made version called 'Wide knowledge of the late madness'. It's a prequel from miku's point of view which gives more description on what happens to them all before the girl is kidnapped in this song. :3
HELP HOW CAN THIS BE SO UNDERRATED OMG
This was really good. Great show! :)
This is so amazingly done!! OoO
I love this version... Good job! :D
This is so well made that it give me the creeps and goosebumps!!!
As long as I am credited for the animation, I do not mind at all. :)

Wow! I like the remix of Dark Woods Circus in this video! It sounds more cooler!^v^
Woooooah this is amazing like wow its so cool i cant even express it in words you are just amazing
good job . you have been excellent
Hey, this ending is mildly better. In the og, it seems like the girl has already been caught, but in this, she runs and the ringleader is preparing to pursue her. .....Still not a very favorable situation, but better.
AWESOME
AWESOME!!!!
I LOVE THIS

I don't happen to, but if you would like to go and find it, it's part of the album Vocalonexus, which is published by Exit Tunes. :) and thank you!

The Song Is based on true events that had happened i think during the times of the World Wars or Something where children got experimented on and sometimes died as a result.
whos the one singing in the beginning? The animation looks like meiko but it sure doesnt sound like her, more sounds like miku .....

In my theory, the ringmaster at the end was Meiko, and the little girl was Meiko Sakine, a derivative of Meiko someone made to make her sound younger. Look her up on the Vocaloid Wiki for more info.

Here's an Eddsworld version: Meiko- Tord (He always gets himself in trouble.) Haku and Neru- Eduardo and Jon (Jon is like Eduardo's little minion.) Rin and Len- Mark and Matt (Marks face boobs contrast Matt's cuteness.) Miku- Edd (I think it would be funny to have him wear a dress. Like Eric Idle in Monty Python.) Kaito- Tom (I always imagined he'd go crazy and start eating people.)
