Hate to ruin the joke, but... that's running cycle. I think there were couple of good running cycles before in Gartic, soooo... The strive for the dream still continues.
Jesus Christ, this shows you how long it takes to animate 2 minutes (ish) of animation, well over 11 hours with over a dozen people, yes it is mostly all interpretative and would go a lot faster if they could see all previous frames but still- it shows the amount of effort needed for animation, so thank you Ross and team for your hard work
This is why I adore animation of all kinds so much, from simple animations on Gartic Phone to full blown Japanese animations that take years; like Ghibli. People are so talented
I made an animation on my own last year (on my channel if you want to see it) it’s about a minute long and it took forever, maybe around 2-3 months. Low key surprised I had the motivation.
I just love how the "free blank screen" was just everyone trying their hardest to flex and draw something absolutely amazing. They had a break and didn't use it 😂😂
Do you know how exhausted you can get from concentrating on anything for an extended period of time. No matter how much you like what you do, your brain needs breaks.
@@MiotaLee The confidence boost I get from showing off helps me regain just as much energy as resting does. I can have a break when I collapse from exhaustion.
My interpretation: This is her fighting herself in some way. This is a metaphor for some kinda personal struggle that ends up "Killing" or changing her as a person, eg. her new self killing her old self and taking over.
It's crazy how 13 hrs of hard work only equates to about 55 seconds of animation, it really makes you appreciate all the talent and artistry going into even a small scale project like this
@@updog9460 free advertisement and stuff, yeah. but still, sponsoring and acknowledging this animators would be alot different 😊 sponsoring them for projects means they appreciate their hardwork
Multiple ideas, A) The concept of a pair of twins where one is a psycho murd*erer. B) Symbology of her killing a more innocent and younger mindset of hers in a symbolic cabin. C) A story of a mimic who steals identities and kills the original person. Great job to all involved. I never thought Gartic Phone could be used to make a real horror mini movie. I bet the creators of Gartic Phone are proud of you all.
I think the second is the one more plausible, since the corpse on scene 17 doesn't look much like the girl, so she was maybe projecting herself on her victim
This is why animation is so crazy to me. Almost 20 people spent more than a whole day on this basically, and it's less than a minute long! Can you imagine the amount of work that goes into tv shows or films?
Most animated films use cgi or stuff that can make animating easier cause of how hard it is to do 2d animations but there is still alot of cartoons that is animated like this other than anime. And talking about anime its insane how much anime japan pumps out each year and whats more crazy is that one season of a show is 4 and 36 mins of animations and a total of 367,440 frames.
Yes, and so many people have zero idea. It took me over a month to get a 30 second 3d animation done, Imagine how long it would have taken, alone, to draw it all by hand.
This just reminds me how this is even more impressive that they got this done in a day with just the tools Gartic gave them; normally there are dozens of other tools animators have to make the process more streamlined and easier for them. So much effort went into this and it really shows. I love it!
As amazing as this is (and has been) for us, the viewers, I can only imagine how elated the developers of gartic phone must be with how much you guys continue to push the boundaries of what their game is capable of
One of those episodes of Gartic where it's just fascinating to look at how everything was created, which ways everyone used to communicate and cooperate and what means were used to achieve all of that.
Okay okay we all know that the animation is great, that's a given. But what I thought was so cool was how the animators were just hardcore stanning each other over the notes given, the boards, the fluidity of the animation, etc. It's so cute seeing them fangirling over each other and how talented they are, such a wholesome video even with the whole halloween theme!
I'm sorry but the Tetris break was the best part of the whole process. Gotta give the animators their enrichment before going back to slaving away at their masterpieces

This was so fascinating to watch. Animation has always been a love of mine but also always felt more like magic than something people actually just did. This was Lila peek behind the curtain into how it all works and I really appreciated that as well as the final outcome.
Who needs to go to animation school when I can learn the entire animation process from these wonderful animator! From all of us, thank you for putting this together Ross and to all the animators who put there time into this project! HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻
At this point, Ross and everyone else involved should start a group channel where they make animations together. Their teamwork and communication is seriously on another level, I'm not just saying that.
The fact that one minute took two days and a week’s worth of preplanning means that it is now easy to imagine the months that go into ONE thirty minute or hour-long animation.
I think it speeds itnup quite a bit if 1 person does 1 scene, because you know what you're gonna do, but still indeed its incredible how much time goes into them
This was done in gartic phone, so it's obviously going to take a shit ton of time. There are countless animating software that allow collaboration with ease, so had they used what they are comfortable using, it'd have been much quicker.
@@kimuires There's a misleading transition that I almost considered the end of the video. I'm guessing some people would pause or go to a new webpage around that moment.
Hot damn, not only you organized this you had to make a character sheet, storyboarding and even a second day to finish the the other half. Well fucking done
Very cool guys. Hot take: the body on the ground is Ross, as revenge for having to spend two days working on this, the rest of the group hacked him up... I'm surprised they found a heart in there. Must not've been his. But no, not sure who the corpse at the end is. They aren't wearing a black shirt, like the girl who was running was. She was fair-haired with a black shirt, and the body had a light shirt with dark hair. Perhaps it is just the art style, but the two girls look pretty close together. Could've been been her (the butcher) defending the black-shirt girl from something/someone else (maybe even Ross! Probably trying to get her to try out his MM2 World..) Very very cool guys.
I know I am two years late to the party here, but this is so incredible! The acting in the mask dropping to the floor, the weight of the axe in all of the shots, all of it was so cool!!
My interpretation: The first bit is metaphorical while the last bit is literal. Whoever the body is at the end, that person traumatized the main girl is some fashion (abusive partner, bully, assailant, whatever), figuratively killing her. The main girl then literally kills them in an act of revenge.
To put this in perspective; exluding all planning, storyboarding and assembly; it took 22 people working aprox. 6 hours each for a 50 second animation. It would've taken 1 person working 8h per day 16.5 days to make this! You guys did an amazing job and I can't wait to see whatever is next!
I really really love how all the scenes of the murderer are in 4s, where are most of the scenes of the victim are in 2s or 3s. It makes it so ominous and alive.
It was neat how they just gravitated towards that just because the murderer has to be more weighty and deliberate. It really makes the murderer a force of nature that the panicking person is justified from running from. Likewise, the girl being on 2’s and 3’s sells her panic from this merciless person. There are so much things to consider about animating, and never had I had such a good case study such as this for how frame timing plays into this (and possibly Into The Spider-Verse, but I only saw the outcome and not why 4’s may be preferable to 2’s and 3’s and vice versa).
This should put into perspective how long full feature animation takes, Ross and his friends spent around 10-12 hours animating this for only 1 minute of payout, this looked fantastic though! Great work from everyone involved!
I cannot believe that this extremely realistic animation was made in Gartic Phone. A funny drawing game. It shows that you can make so much out of one game.
Here's my theory, It's kinda wacky but still... The killer is capable of shape-shifting. He was originally a man which would make sense based on his proportions right up until the mask reveal. But after killing the girl, he took her form and their appearances sorta got "swapped". That's why there's a body of a man instead of the girl even though she died. And the reason why the killer isn't wearing the girl's dress is because he only swapped appearances and not clothing.
Oh, man, that puts me in mind of, like, a semi-immortal supernatural being who keeps their own life going by killing someone in order to literally take their life, and perhaps this one has been doing it for so long they’re becoming more ashamed (wearing a mask so their victim can’t look them in the eye) but also more unhinged and committing increasingly violent murders.
@@Cheezbuckets this is so that.. if the victim somehow survived.. they do not have a chance to retaliate by reporting to police of their looks..... don't ask how i know this
I’m going to learn to animate soon, and surprisingly, this video was pretty helpful lol. Basically a real-time step by step process of how each drawing comes together. One of the most helpful things was how they did the pacing by tracing the image before so it holds for longer. (I used to think animators just paused their video for a little bit and sped it up on parts they wanted to show fast movement lol)
Okay this is late but there’s kind of a way to do this. It’s called animation on twos, or three, or so where basically you have the same image stay on screen for multiple frames
Currently my favorite scene is the mask falling. It's so smooth and looks like it's been ripped from a horror movie. Would love to see something like this again!
That was pretty dang impressive to be honest! Good work everyone, thanks for all the efforts! Like you never think too much how much collaborative works goes into animated movies and all that, because the end results are so smooth. But even with something like more homebrewed like that, it was pretty darn sweet!
aaaaaay. Why not, though? They are a group of animators who can work together to make awesome projects, with SUPREMELY limited resources/tools. They could make some beautiful stuff.
Gartic phone works for this group of animators cause they're chasing one another's onion skins. It's a different story when all these folks have distinct styles and capabilities and you try to mash em together
There are some cool theories about the movie itself. So here's mine: The whole thing can be explained by a lecture. "The biggest threat lives inside. Keep it sealed..."
The fact that you all did this in Gartic Phone, of all things to use for animation... I feel blessed on this Halloween. I'm so happy that Gartic Phone got you back into art and animation, and that you brought in so many skilled people to make a fantastic short film! SO MUCH LOVE to everyone who worked on this.
This was actually the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. This felt so groundbreaking in its ambition, and I can’t believe how well coordinated everything was handled. Just incredible work! You guys could actually form an animation studio if you wanted to! Amazing!
My god this was amazing to see, I've enjoyed watching artists playing garlic phone and other drawing games with others but this has got to be one of the best I've seen. And just the full animation in the end n music, gore-ious
Ross and his friends are the only animation-tubers I can think of who would go through the effort of spending 10 hours making a horror film...in Gartic Phone.
It's not very often that you see an application put to its limits by professionals in their craft. Especially when that application is supposed to be a party game. At this point, Gartic may as well pay you to play this game
Hot take; while it's graphic it can easily be interpret as a metaphor for trauma. The forest represents the world, the house represents the home/safety. Since both characters are so alike we can interpret it as they're the same person prior and after an event. MC seeks safety and comfort at home, but home can't guard you from the pain of life. The dog mask character entering the house by chipping away at the door can be translated to anxious anticipation of pain, maybe deadly sickness. We see a heart fly across the screen during the chopping scene, and while it could be literally about a heart I interpret it as heartbreak. After the murder, the dog mask is placed at the corpse and the main character is revealed again, now with white hair which can be a sign of stress/age. Putting that trait into the perspective of trauma it's easy to see that she grew up too fast. In summary, I believe that this animation can be read as a girl losing her childhood dog to sickness, it breaks her heart and gives her trauma. Possibly because the dog wasn't put out of it's misery in a humane way. Incredible animation, I have so much respect for the team and Ross for making this. You're all an inspiration.
This was an amazing effort by everyone involved! The timing on the shots, the small details like how the shoulders led the movement on the chopping scene, and just the overall consistency makes this a great film. Special shout-out to DasGnomo for her frames, they consistently blew me away!
I love watching Ross and all these animators take this party game and just take it to a level of polish that I never would have expected from a game like this. It really shows how talented everyone involved is and I can’t wait to see what else you come up with
I love every one of you guys! That Finger animation on the Mask Drop was sooo freaking believable, all of you felt every frame, and knew exactly what needs to be done! You guys are such an inspiration and I love you all for inspiring me!!
I've said this before, but Ross is gonna end up accidentally starting an animation studio if they all keep doing this together. Looking forward to it!!
This is so obscenely sick holy crap- I have so much respect for all of y’all for this animation is so time consuming and difficult the fact you guys made something so amazing in Gartic-
i initially thought the fact that she wen't in for the slash then kinda hesistated was kinda lame but when in context of the lore of the BG it makes sense that she'd hesitate as written in the lore book 1023 it understood that any pain give by BG to the victim will transfer over to her for that moment and understanding how this is only victim 4 of the doppelgangers in the 3 alternate universe I entirely understand why she isn't used to dying or "transferring" the 3 lore book states
My headcanon is definitely about the girl having an internal fight with herself since both the victim and killer have the same face. This fight leads to the "killing" of a personality/bad memory due to something, the killer in this story is the "present self"/the "current self" while the victim is the "old self". The dog mask has a special role to this storytelling and the hand shaking (52:57) as she is a little bit remorseful for killing her past self. And sorry in advance if there is any error because i'm not a native speaker. Interpretation 1 : *The girl is changing herself for the future.* Everyone experienced this including me that is why I interpreted it like this, both the dog mask and the victim could be the girl's childish nature. The killer is killing the past self, the childish nature, because it's not important anymore or becomes a hindrance in the eye of the girl when growing up. The killer wearing the mask could be interpreted as if she is mocking the victim/her past self to be so childish in this age and time, the killer then drops the mask with the "victim's" body so her childish nature will be truly left behind. Additionally the hand shaking could be interpreted as, "is this really the answer?" as her childish nature could be her true self instead something that she's trying to become. Interpretation 2 : *The girl is burnt out.* Doing something you love over and over again will make you hating it, the dog mask/killer here could be interpreted as the girl's hobby and the victim as the "feeling" that enjoys doing the hobby. Because of repetition, the same hobby that makes the girl happy becomes something that is just... eh. Making it not fun anymore. Interpretation 3 : *The girl is overcoming her breakup.* Saying goodbye to the person that you love is always painful, the dog mask/killer here could be interpreted as the girl's trust and or cheery nature while the victim is herself and her ex. the first half the victim has the same face as the killer, this could say that she is blaming herself for falling in love with her ex. the second half when the victim died, it could signify the victim laying on the floor is now the ex and the "death of the victim" is "forgetting the ex". then the killer left her mask near the body as if to "leave behind" that feeling so that she will never easily trust other people again. The supporting evidence is on 52:50 and 53:11, where the killer took out the heart (like y'know heartache heartbreak) and the victim hair color changed from white to black this could signify the ex's hair color. well that is surely long, I should have done my college essay than writing this lmao
Ok. This was just.. amazing. All the beautiful aspects of even your jokier gartic exploits, the teamwork, the conpanionship, and of course the quality... MULTIPLIED 10 TIMES OVER!! I just know this was a wonderful experience, and you all did amazing with the calculating and the planning. It was super great to see you all hyping eachother up throughout as well. Wish i could've seen the streams, it was so fun to see the work put into this and at each reveal i was just astounded by how GOOD it looked, i can only imagine what it was like to see how all of your work came together in the end to make something like this
My interpretation: The first bit she actually gets away and/or knocks dog face out. Then the later bit is after some small amount of time has passed. She's somehow stolen the mask and clothes, and is haunting/taunting him before outright killing him. Ah, sweet revenge.
the confidence that you get by showing off and also the fact that people will appreciate your further hard effort is far more motivating to continue than taking a break, because 70% of the times, during the break people may lose motivation and drop off, so doing something off topic that the artist like, like using their own art styles, it will keep them also motivating.
Holy shit that was sick. Congratulations to all of the artists for spending so much time to make a film of quality like that Btw my theory is. The murderer just saw the victim as herself running from someone else in result of a childhood trauma or something. And the guy she just killed could be the man that was chasing her as she was younger, and she finally got her revenge ( That's why she took off the mask and dropped it right next to his body and leaving right after. She was relieved and could go free from all of the murder thing to get to kill him. ) Now this girl would just live her life hiding the fact that she killed the man responsible for her trauma.

@@reygenne1 If no one has anything to say, I must be right, then. :P
45:50 it's everyone's body, after suffering through six hours of (nearly) nonstop animating. Well done all of you, that's some amazing animation work.
I know I am two years late to the party here, but this is so incredible! The acting in the mask dropping to the floor, the weight of the axe in all of the shots, all of it was so cool!!
This is unironically the greatest thing to come out of Gartic Phone.
i hope the devs of gartic phone sees this, quite a remarkable piece of art :o
alternate title: the sweatiest gartic phone session ever (10+ hours! not clickbait!)
(didnt sleep!)
(Insane!)
(3 am!!)
(Gone wrong)
(MET IMPOSTOR FROM AMONG US!)
My interpretation: The first bit is metaphorical while the last bit is literal. Whoever the body is at the end, that person traumatized the main girl is some fashion (abusive partner, bully, assailant, whatever), figuratively killing her. The main girl then literally kills them in an act of revenge.
To put this in perspective; exluding all planning, storyboarding and assembly; it took 22 people working aprox. 6 hours each for a 50 second animation. It would've taken 1 person working 8h per day 16.5 days to make this!
You guys did an amazing job and I can't wait to see whatever is next!
I really really love how all the scenes of the murderer are in 4s, where are most of the scenes of the victim are in 2s or 3s. It makes it so ominous and alive.
It was neat how they just gravitated towards that just because the murderer has to be more weighty and deliberate. It really makes the murderer a force of nature that the panicking person is justified from running from. Likewise, the girl being on 2’s and 3’s sells her panic from this merciless person. There are so much things to consider about animating, and never had I had such a good case study such as this for how frame timing plays into this (and possibly Into The Spider-Verse, but I only saw the outcome and not why 4’s may be preferable to 2’s and 3’s and vice versa).
You knows things are gonna be good when Rubber and his friends pull out the *pink words for their scenes*
This should put into perspective how long full feature animation takes, Ross and his friends spent around 10-12 hours animating this for only 1 minute of payout, this looked fantastic though! Great work from everyone involved!
Working on dedicated animation software is a bit quicker and easier than this, but yeah, it’s pretty time consuming.
I really hope one day Ross can legit make his dream animation studio with people like these folks
I cannot believe that this extremely realistic animation was made in Gartic Phone. A funny drawing game. It shows that you can make so much out of one game.
Here's my theory, It's kinda wacky but still...
The killer is capable of shape-shifting. He was originally a man which would make sense based on his proportions right up until the mask reveal. But after killing the girl, he took her form and their appearances sorta got "swapped". That's why there's a body of a man instead of the girl even though she died. And the reason why the killer isn't wearing the girl's dress is because he only swapped appearances and not clothing.
Ok I was almost on board bit the guy in the end isn't wearing the girls dress at the end either.
That scene where the killer's hand is shaking might be a little after they dropped the old body and changed into their new one.
Oh, man, that puts me in mind of, like, a semi-immortal supernatural being who keeps their own life going by killing someone in order to literally take their life, and perhaps this one has been doing it for so long they’re becoming more ashamed (wearing a mask so their victim can’t look them in the eye) but also more unhinged and committing increasingly violent murders.
the shapeshifter only shapeshift to body and not dress
@@Cheezbuckets this is so that.. if the victim somehow survived.. they do not have a chance to retaliate by reporting to police of their looks..... don't ask how i know this
That was insane. You should definitely post the final film as it’s own video.
You gotta go through the grind with 'em to see the final product
@@drsmug7761 i just think more people would see it that way, because a lot of people don’t want to watch a 54 minute video
@@drsmug7761 you could skip to the end
As Ross would say: Yeeeess duuude!
I’m going to learn to animate soon, and surprisingly, this video was pretty helpful lol. Basically a real-time step by step process of how each drawing comes together.
One of the most helpful things was how they did the pacing by tracing the image before so it holds for longer.
(I used to think animators just paused their video for a little bit and sped it up on parts they wanted to show fast movement lol)
Okay this is late but there’s kind of a way to do this. It’s called animation on twos, or three, or so where basically you have the same image stay on screen for multiple frames
Literally perfect for Halloween.
I don't know how you guys pulled this off, but this was truly an experience.
they pulled it off since everyone that worked on it is a professional artist/animator
@@shrek9759 bro, are you kidding me? These people could all become master cartoon animators if they really wanted to.
Currently my favorite scene is the mask falling. It's so smooth and looks like it's been ripped from a horror movie. Would love to see something like this again!
that and the first mirror shot are my favorites hands down. goals
Just the body of the girl suddenly wears jeans
I just fucking love the tiny, constant jitter you get from hand-drawn animation frames.
Y’all are just a straight up animation studio at this point, this is so awesome
That was pretty dang impressive to be honest! Good work everyone, thanks for all the efforts! Like you never think too much how much collaborative works goes into animated movies and all that, because the end results are so smooth. But even with something like more homebrewed like that, it was pretty darn sweet!
Alright time to just make an animation studio at this point
aaaaaay. Why not, though? They are a group of animators who can work together to make awesome projects, with SUPREMELY limited resources/tools.
They could make some beautiful stuff.
@@weebjeez PLEASE
It's like this in my head every day. ROSS?? The world need imagination viacooperation again!!
Gartic phone works for this group of animators cause they're chasing one another's onion skins. It's a different story when all these folks have distinct styles and capabilities and you try to mash em together
I wish gartic allowed you to drop more onion skins too
I love how they all started parenting Juny at one point
Juny is a precious baby.
is juny the youngest? how old is juny?
@@wat_3456 I believe he’s about 17
When? Time stamp?
@@k.mations2225 around like 10:30
Truly inspiring to see the animation process from the animators.
Next: pros make a friggin movie in gartic phone
Yes
I don't think you know how hard that would be
@@archiveddeleted
I think they know EXACTLY how hard that would be and that's what makes it funnier
Yes please 👍 grab your popcorn everyone 🍿
Pretty sure they said they were gonna do that so-
One of the reasons I love these Gartic Phone videos is how relentlessly supportive everyone is. Everyone is constantly complimenting each others' work
I agree with you man. Some person on gartic phone dm'd me on discord just to say that my artwork is good.
I take my agreement back, someone told me to kms just because i lost the connection right at the beginning of the round
@@beed1tybatt3rs two types of people
well… 😬
@@beed1tybatt3rs lmao
There are some cool theories about the movie itself. So here's mine: The whole thing can be explained by a lecture.
"The biggest threat lives inside. Keep it sealed..."
The fact that you all did this in Gartic Phone, of all things to use for animation... I feel blessed on this Halloween. I'm so happy that Gartic Phone got you back into art and animation, and that you brought in so many skilled people to make a fantastic short film! SO MUCH LOVE to everyone who worked on this.
I hope people realize now how hard it is to animate something and appreciate it more
especially when animating together while having different styles
Literally the greatest collab I've ever seen! Amazing work guys!
Someone hire these people to make an entire full length movie in gartic phone before big corporations get them
nah they can do it alone
This was actually the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. This felt so groundbreaking in its ambition, and I can’t believe how well coordinated everything was handled. Just incredible work! You guys could actually form an animation studio if you wanted to! Amazing!
My god this was amazing to see, I've enjoyed watching artists playing garlic phone and other drawing games with others but this has got to be one of the best I've seen. And just the full animation in the end n music, gore-ious
Ross and his friends are the only animation-tubers I can think of who would go through the effort of spending 10 hours making a horror film...in Gartic Phone.
and make it look good
Don't forget about the other animators that worked on this!
@@ceciliaandreacasalez9621 you're right! Let me edit my comment real quick
It's not very often that you see an application put to its limits by professionals in their craft. Especially when that application is supposed to be a party game.
At this point, Gartic may as well pay you to play this game
I wish I had animators as friends or people that know abotu animation, I would love to play this mode
This is what passion can bring to literally any medium. Hats off to these artists for putting their hearts and efforts into something amazing.
I love how hard you've been going with this silly online art game. It's brought so many artists together! Amazing work, dude.
Somehow watching these talented artists work together to put out an animation is very educational to me 😅
Can't believe I got to be a part of this 🤯 Everyone did such an amazing job!!! PS DasGnomo is pretty cool and makes great drawings
T___________________________T ❤
Hot take; while it's graphic it can easily be interpret as a metaphor for trauma. The forest represents the world, the house represents the home/safety. Since both characters are so alike we can interpret it as they're the same person prior and after an event. MC seeks safety and comfort at home, but home can't guard you from the pain of life. The dog mask character entering the house by chipping away at the door can be translated to anxious anticipation of pain, maybe deadly sickness. We see a heart fly across the screen during the chopping scene, and while it could be literally about a heart I interpret it as heartbreak. After the murder, the dog mask is placed at the corpse and the main character is revealed again, now with white hair which can be a sign of stress/age. Putting that trait into the perspective of trauma it's easy to see that she grew up too fast. In summary, I believe that this animation can be read as a girl losing her childhood dog to sickness, it breaks her heart and gives her trauma. Possibly because the dog wasn't put out of it's misery in a humane way.
Incredible animation, I have so much respect for the team and Ross for making this. You're all an inspiration.
no
@@butteredchocolate9999 yes
You introduced this by calling it a hot take. Is that because you're aware of how over-analytical it is?
thats an interesting perspective! I never thought about it that way
Over analyzed hot garbage
This is acually making me want to make an animated series
This was an amazing effort by everyone involved! The timing on the shots, the small details like how the shoulders led the movement on the chopping scene, and just the overall consistency makes this a great film. Special shout-out to DasGnomo for her frames, they consistently blew me away!
Mattttttttt! T^T TYSM!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a wild ride and I'm so happy for the results we created as a team!
I love watching Ross and all these animators take this party game and just take it to a level of polish that I never would have expected from a game like this. It really shows how talented everyone involved is and I can’t wait to see what else you come up with
This is amazing! Its crazy how much work can be put in to one short animation. Props to you! And everybody else that worked on this
I love every one of you guys! That Finger animation on the Mask Drop was sooo freaking believable, all of you felt every frame, and knew exactly what needs to be done! You guys are such an inspiration and I love you all for inspiring me!!
I've said this before, but Ross is gonna end up accidentally starting an animation studio if they all keep doing this together. Looking forward to it!!
This is so obscenely sick holy crap- I have so much respect for all of y’all for this animation is so time consuming and difficult the fact you guys made something so amazing in Gartic-
i initially thought the fact that she wen't in for the slash then kinda hesistated was kinda lame but when in context of the lore of the BG it makes sense that she'd hesitate as written in the lore book 1023 it understood that any pain give by BG to the victim will transfer over to her for that moment and understanding how this is only victim 4 of the doppelgangers in the 3 alternate universe I entirely understand why she isn't used to dying or "transferring" the 3 lore book states
You ever just read something without context yet. And just think oh yes those were words yes mmhmm I understand completely.....nope
@@Zalied that was me perfecly acurate i was like yes ofc ahhh yes quite! hohoho yes!
What?
@@Zalied it’s honestly pretty easy once you read the light novels
@GameControllers I think Vati vadya did a video on the axe item description start there
My headcanon is definitely about the girl having an internal fight with herself since both the victim and killer have the same face. This fight leads to the "killing" of a personality/bad memory due to something, the killer in this story is the "present self"/the "current self" while the victim is the "old self". The dog mask has a special role to this storytelling and the hand shaking (52:57) as she is a little bit remorseful for killing her past self. And sorry in advance if there is any error because i'm not a native speaker.
Interpretation 1 : *The girl is changing herself for the future.* Everyone experienced this including me that is why I interpreted it like this, both the dog mask and the victim could be the girl's childish nature. The killer is killing the past self, the childish nature, because it's not important anymore or becomes a hindrance in the eye of the girl when growing up. The killer wearing the mask could be interpreted as if she is mocking the victim/her past self to be so childish in this age and time, the killer then drops the mask with the "victim's" body so her childish nature will be truly left behind. Additionally the hand shaking could be interpreted as, "is this really the answer?" as her childish nature could be her true self instead something that she's trying to become.
Interpretation 2 : *The girl is burnt out.* Doing something you love over and over again will make you hating it, the dog mask/killer here could be interpreted as the girl's hobby and the victim as the "feeling" that enjoys doing the hobby. Because of repetition, the same hobby that makes the girl happy becomes something that is just... eh. Making it not fun anymore.
Interpretation 3 : *The girl is overcoming her breakup.* Saying goodbye to the person that you love is always painful, the dog mask/killer here could be interpreted as the girl's trust and or cheery nature while the victim is herself and her ex. the first half the victim has the same face as the killer, this could say that she is blaming herself for falling in love with her ex. the second half when the victim died, it could signify the victim laying on the floor is now the ex and the "death of the victim" is "forgetting the ex". then the killer left her mask near the body as if to "leave behind" that feeling so that she will never easily trust other people again. The supporting evidence is on 52:50 and 53:11, where the killer took out the heart (like y'know heartache heartbreak) and the victim hair color changed from white to black this could signify the ex's hair color.
well that is surely long, I should have done my college essay than writing this lmao
broooo i thought something similar
Bro u deserve so much likes for writing this whole comment and meaning 😩
I also thought that they look similar. But breakup? They look young
Ok. This was just.. amazing. All the beautiful aspects of even your jokier gartic exploits, the teamwork, the conpanionship, and of course the quality... MULTIPLIED 10 TIMES OVER!!
I just know this was a wonderful experience, and you all did amazing with the calculating and the planning. It was super great to see you all hyping eachother up throughout as well. Wish i could've seen the streams, it was so fun to see the work put into this and at each reveal i was just astounded by how GOOD it looked, i can only imagine what it was like to see how all of your work came together in the end to make something like this
It only took like 10 years, but we finally found a way to make animations on youtube viable again
45:57 my interpretation is that they're actually the one who killed Markiplier
OMG THAT SONG AT THE END TO MUCH MEMORIES
So at what point does Ross just start his own animation studio with his friends? []
Yeqh.
Now
To be more exact, it’s not an animation studio but an animation series.
I'm stunned by how well this turned out in spite of the disorienting way this was produced.
IT TURNED OUT AMAZING IN THE END OMG.
My interpretation: The first bit she actually gets away and/or knocks dog face out. Then the later bit is after some small amount of time has passed. She's somehow stolen the mask and clothes, and is haunting/taunting him before outright killing him. Ah, sweet revenge.
then she must be her twin
Him....?
@@ButtercupAnimatesi thought it was a guy?
ISN'T IT A GIRL
I love how an among us bean always makes it into an episode
Intro 0:00 - 0:37, animating 1:28 - 27:16, review 27:17 - 52:17, Full Movie + Outro, 52:17 - 54:27
the confidence that you get by showing off and also the fact that people will appreciate your further hard effort is far more motivating to continue than taking a break, because 70% of the times, during the break people may lose motivation and drop off, so doing something off topic that the artist like, like using their own art styles, it will keep them also motivating.
I'm so glad I got to be a part of this!!
yoooo this is amazing!! y’all are such an inspiration!
Holy shit that was sick. Congratulations to all of the artists for spending so much time to make a film of quality like that
Btw my theory is. The murderer just saw the victim as herself running from someone else in result of a childhood trauma or something. And the guy she just killed could be the man that was chasing her as she was younger, and she finally got her revenge ( That's why she took off the mask and dropped it right next to his body and leaving right after. She was relieved and could go free from all of the murder thing to get to kill him. )
Now this girl would just live her life hiding the fact that she killed the man responsible for her trauma.
I love that
I share your theory. It makes for great symbolism, character motives and explains the strange occurrences in a rational and theatrical way. Nice! :)
