Fillblocks (Minecraft x Rhythm Heaven)

Finally, another Minecraft x Rhythm Heaven animation! This has been looooong in the works. In fact, the original note block song file was made in August 2022! Damn.

I had already done the song cover and most of the animation (the snow and iron golems) for over a year now. The original plan was to just do Fillbots 1 (DS), which only has the medium and big robot, perfect for the snow golem and iron golem. I had this idea in my head to animate extra stuff, like underfilling and overfilling the robots, but I never got around to it.

The first big recent push I got was when Mojang made an announcement: copper golems were getting added to the game! Now Fillblocks was back in my head. I just had to do Fillbots 2 (DS) with the small robots, it was perfect. The fact that it was announced for an autumn drop meant I had to work fast.

Then I had a bunch of life changes that gave me a deadline. No details, but I knew I probably wouldn't have much free time in the weeks leading up to the update's release, so I had to do as much work on this as I could before then if I wanted it done in time for the update. Lo and behold, my procrastinating ass did not expect that it would only take a couple more days of work to finish lmao.

Hopefully that means I'll get to all the other ideas I have in less than three years. Along with the Blockstep videos, this is supposed to eventually become an overarching series of some sort. Can you tell what's in common between Fillbots and Lockstep? (Besides the golems.)

(Also yes I know copper golems don't need lightning rods on there heads, I just couldn't think of another way to make it so that they were assembled in three parts, which is integral to the original gameplay)
