I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

so many people know this song; Viva La Vida by Coldplay.
this song; in my belief, is about the French Revolution. it sings of an evil king who abused his power and treated others terribly. he was maybe impeached, and had many enemies. now, this may not be true, but that is how i interpret it.
anyways, being this a warriors site, and being a fan of the series myself, i have decided to make a warriors MAP out of this song. for those who don't know, MAP stands for Multiple Animator Project. yup- i'm serious; fourteen other people get to participate! i need at the most fourteen other people willing to animate a scene. if not enough people apply, then those who do will be allowed to pick more than one scene. but for now, you may only pick one.
the MAP will be about the rule of tigerstar. i have some scenes already planned, but they may change. but one thing that won't change is this;
THE MAJORITY OF THE SCENES WILL BE FLASH BACKS. IT WILL APPEAR THAT TIGERSTAR IS TELLING THE STORY OF HIS RULE, IN THE STATE OF BEING DEAD.
now, this was originally going to be an AMV. AMV stands for Animated Music Video. while it will still be an animated music video, i will not be the only one animating. I originally planned to animate all of the scenes myself-but that would take months. so i decided to share this with you guys.
here are my scene ideas;
Scene One:
"I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word"
this scene could be him ordering the warriors of ShadowClan; maybe readying them for a battle.
Animator: Open
Scene Two:
"Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own."
now this could be a more 'recent' shot of him in the Dark Forest.
Animator: fenic!
Scene Three
"I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king"
this could be him, battling another leader-likely firestar. i don't remember the name of the leader before tigerstar or if he killed them to get his rank, so it could be that as well.
Animator: tawny~
Scene Four:
"One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand"
this could likely be scourge killing tigerstar.
Animator: me (meraki)
Scene Five:
"I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field"
a battle, perhaps? maybe the start to a battle?
Animator: Open
Scene Six:
"For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world"
now this is a scene i am stumped on.
Animator: Open
Scene Seven:
"It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become"
this could definitely be the shock of the warriors in ThunderClan finding out that tigerstar was evil, or tigerstar and firestar fighting.
Animator: xxJaggededgexx
Scene Eight:
"Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate"
could be an angry firestar; or them fighting.
Animator: Open
Scene Nine:
"Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?"
a ShadowClan warrior apalled by his way of training
Animator: milo
Scene Ten:
"I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field"
more battles or shots of him being leader
Animator: Open
Scene Eleven:
"For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name"
him going to the dark forest as opposed to StarClan
Animator: Open
Scene Twelve:
"Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world."
scourge turning on him right before the BloodClan battle
Animator: Stormfeather
Scene Thirteen:
"Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field"
again, the battle scene
Animator: Open
Scene Fourteen:
"For some reason I can't explain
I know St Peter won't call my name"
dark forest stuff
Animator: Open
Scene Fifteen:
"Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world"
last scene should be dramatic or heartfelt. open to suggestions.
Animator: Ludicrous Lunacy
now; there are several music solos that may need scenes too. the scene lyrics may combine with others to make one big scene, but they will remain in the same order.
i am totally open for suggestions and NEED ideas for the scenes.
any sort of help or suggestion is wholy appreciated <3

how you plan to get your finished piece to me:
how long it will take for you to do your scene (just a guess- it may take weeks for me to do mine):
and for those artists who love art but don't know how to animate; here's Meraki's Guide To Basic Animation;
use the website ezimba.
it is free and easy to use.
once you reach ezimba, look at the collum that says 'Mix.'
right below it says Frame Animation.
click that, and you will see many squares.
now, to do this, you have to draw each slide. it's easiest to copy your original drawing (the first slide) and paste it, then erase the part that will be moving and redraw it a little differently. the more slides you do, the better and less skippy it will look.
save each finished slide to your computer- it's best to name them "slide #" so you don't confuse them wth eachother. then, import each image into its corresponding frame number.
from there, you can scroll to the bottom and edit the frame speed- the fastest the best; it makes it look smooth.

there you go!
ALL SCENES MUST BE COMPLETELY COLOURED WHEN YOU SEND THEM TO ME
easiest way is to copy the URL of your animation and send it to me through either PM or email. Email me at queengalaxycat@gmail.com
