Remember. A SIGNALIS Fan Animation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- SIGNALIS latched onto my brain and never let go, I had to make an animation on it cause I love it too much.
Songs used:
Schwanengesang, D.957: 4. Ständchen (Serenade) in D Minor
Cicada Sirens - Near Dark by the Pond
Cicada Sirens - Cigarette Wife
1000 Eyes - 3000 Cycles (I missed you)
Tchaikovsky - Swan Lake (Act II, No. 10) - Фільми й анімація
I know it's naively hopeful, but this animation always makes me think that when the cycle finally ends, they'll be able to truly dance on that beach together, to love once more.
I mean, the Artifact ending pretty explicitly lets them live together happily.
beauty of signalis is such that it is deliberately left out vague enough to only suggest some specific story, letting you fill out the blanks yourself and tailor the details to your preferences. I don't think it's naivety, personally I think it's a beatiful "true" end
No way, don't call yourself naive! The game is intentionally left widely open to the player's interpretation of the events that unfold within, mysterious and questions are left unanswered on purpose as it's up to you to try to piece together an answer to things based upon what you believe is happening in the world around you. Not everything lines up perfectly, with the lines between reality and it's dreaming destruction being ever further blurred naturally not everything will. But I'm of the strong belief that after all of Elster's trials and hardship (maybe even having to complete all four endings at one point or another as she loops continuously), she does in fact break the loop. Saving Ariane, Herself, Everyone else and all of reality from the twisted dream realm. And I truly believe that in whatever the aftermath of the dream may be, Elster and Ariane are together and happy at last.
no, it lets them dance together again. but elster is dead, it's a fake ending, they don't live together happily, elster forces her to dance again, and suffer from radiation more@@alexeistrife56
@@alexeistrife56I don't think so. The ending basically outright states with its "remember our promise" that you're not putting an end to anything, you're just deluding yourself by holding on to ghosts and memories, the Red Eye that's ruining everything (which is itself almost certainly Ariane) is still present. The cycle does not end, the suffering continues in the next loop. It can only end by killing her in the Promise ending.
That transition at 1:20 , from two dancing to Elster falling...... goosebumps. Hurts too much.
True
This is like getting punched in the stomach, getting ice water poured on you, dragged by your feet by a car then finally getting pushed off a bridge.
Great work.
Fuck, I hate it when that happens. Worst alarm clock I've ever bought.
The cinematography on this is absolutely stellar. It's like I was watching snippets of a movie. Incredible work! This is a classic I will come back to many times I'm sure.
The shot in front of the Jupiter-like planet looks like straight out of 2001. Absolutely incredible.
He did a great job but why did it have to be a lesben one?
@@juggernut1418 Cause that is what it is canonically in the video game
@@RedmanVRC well they cude have made the with girl into a boy and i whode play it plus there whode be more fans for that game
@@juggernut1418 Nah I love gay women, we need more of that
Their dancing were so smooth 😭😭😭😭
The expression, the sound I'm in tears rn
Absolutely incredible work. It's always so heart warming to see them in their happy memories and gut wrenching how it all turns to ash.
These face animations work so weirdly well! The subtle eye and eyebrow movements at 0:50 add so much to the scene.
Amazing cinematography and animation, I adore this.
finally, Sesbian Lex.
@@KeyboardTarantulaSesbian Lex.
literally shouted out loud when Elster did the one handed reload--
Phenomenal and inspiring work, seriously.
It wasn't a reload, she just either checked if there's a round chambered or she just cocked the slide (chambering the round into the barrel).
one handed press check but yea
@@enraikow6109youtube comments on their way to be picky for no good reason (they must prove they know firearms more than the other person)
UM ACKTCHUALLY it's called a press check
@@Biggy_Jimothy youtube comments on their way to be negative for no good reason (they must be perceived as right and more correct and edgier than the other person).
I love media that shows the story that the game can't show. This is incredible.
Signalis reload animations when?
This video is truly a masterpiece! If only Elster and Ariane had found a planet they could truly be alone in… ❤️💛🖤
Strange take: The song Cigarette Wife gives Elster a stronger and more sincere Doom Slayer vibe than any other game, even DOOM or ULTRAKILL (also written in all caps like SIGNALIS, coincidence??!! yeah, pareidolia. Anyhow.). The pure, unbridled focus reflected in her emotional analysis thing in the inventory, almost always in the absolute center with unshakable determination, is reflected perfectly as this song comes up in her stonefaced decent to the mines. And only at the very end, at The Promise, the ending for which you literally have to rip and tear the cycle and world within apart, we not only finally see her display the emotions of fear, uncertainty, acceptance and pure horror come out before and as she kills her, emotions we also see in other endings. We too see the slightest, most sincere and true smile as not just Elster dies, but as they get to die together. One we don't ever see in memory, leave or other ends or parts of the game. She has fought through a version of hell more real and relatable than that of DOOM, ULTRAKILL or other such games and depictions, all to truly, and my god I should become a poet, slay the doom and have a happy ending together, one they seemingly were destined by all odds not to have. Not to mention that the title "Cigarette Wife" is also very fitting, the wife, Elster, burning herself up just to give her lover that final relieve.
Rip and tear. Until the promise is done.
Also the cast bowing at the end like at the end of a play is very pretty, really points to what the game ultimately is: a stage play, not making perfect sense, and never wanting or needing to. All that matters are the messages it gives. Of what a society that aims to streamline personality as much as possible and an uncaring government that sees it's citizens as expendable strings of numbers does to the individual, pushing them towards a certain end in tragedy. And more subtely, of Eternity, Love, and Sacrifice. The only certain truths in a feverdream of a world, where nothing seems real, not even one self.
while I agree with most of that, I dont think nightmare psychological hellscapes created by the suffering of three individuals are exactly relatable. the losing of people, maybe. the suicide, potentially.
from what I understand, Signalis is a tale where Elster dies, leaving Ariane to suffer in the cryo pod. elster, in her grief, being a composer, accidentally opens a rift to the astral plane and gets trapped there. (a different unrelated rift exists elsewhere) she sends a desperate signal pleading for Elster to wake up so she can die. this reaches Faukes (i think that's her name) and floods her with Memories not belonging to her. Faukes is overwhelmed by the sudden receival of Elster's memories so she goes into a coma, dreaming away. Elster, in her desperate state, begins to dream. this dream alters the Astral plane. the people here are real, but they also are just a dream. Faukes, in her coma, also ends up dreaming. her dreams too affect the astral plane. Faukes never fufills the promise, either not knowing of it or ignoring it intentionally, turning bitter. as Elster wakes up and begins the loop, she fails. a LOT. slowly, over time, the dream corrupts and distorts. eventually, after a lot of suffering, Elster finally eventually kills faukes, and finds her way to the ship, to finally complete her promise. this Elster isn't real. but she is as well.
... yeah, totally relatable.
"Hey girlie I know we're doomed by the narrative and all, but could you imagine, for a moment, in another time and place, where we were safe and happy? As you lay by my side, will you let that be your dream? As we grasp each other and fall into the dark, can you promise me that will be your closure?"
I am simply going insane over this video I keep replaying it over and over again it is everything to me. In particular I'm fixated on the subtle expressiveness of the expressions- the snippets of Ariane and Elster's time in the Penrose-512, quite especially Elster's face turning into surprise when Ariane likely propositioning her for some... _fun time,_ I suppose. And god damn that scene where Elster one-handedly cocks her pistol is simply mwah, _chef's kiss._ And the end scene with the lily from the artifact ending, with the two of their hands showing wedding rings as Elster reaches out to hold Ariane's hand and Ariane softly brushing Elster's hand with her thumb is just
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
This is literally one of my favorite Signalis animations out there. Elster and Ariane's love never broke, even when they were possibly gonna die.
The fuckin one handed press check at 1:40 was absolutely phenomenal and an amazing detail for Elster’s character
SPOILER
Because Elster was a soldier on Vineta, and served during some really bloody battles, so it’d make sense she’d know to check her weapon before engaging. But the animation of it being done one handed was amazing
Signalis has latched onto my brain so much as well that i cant stop thinking about it plus with me having 3 dreams of it within a week and a half. I pray that this story and world continues because its an art piece and a masterpiece that has pulled some strings i have never had strung before. Every time i think of it i feel so charmed and hollow? I cant describe how it feels its so odd and new it almost makes me nauseas or something like it. I hope this is never forgotten.
The Eye exploding into a fountain of blood gives me such NGE vibes which is very in tune with the game. Also I choose the last scene to be canon for the sake of my sanity. Great vid.
Shooting the eye makes so much sense too
I have no words. This is something else.
I'm happy, sad, laughing, crying all at the same time.
You've made something truly incredible!
That scene with the other Elsters is so familiar, like I've seen it before somewhere...
Thank you! Are you thinking of Les Médusés/Suspiria? I wanted to reference that dance
@@Liz_Caingcoy YES! That's the one. UA-cam algorithm recommended me that dance and it was so different from anything I watched that it stayed in the back of my mind.
now, I can say you killed all of Signalis' brain rot by your incredible work!!! Thank you here again! Thank you!
someone had to kill it :)
Weeping. Sobbing. Absolutely unable to recover.
This is beautifully crafted and has destroyed me.. I love it so much. Thank you for creating it ❤🩹
This hits so hard aaaaaaaaaaa
And it's so well animated and presented, it's beautiful and haunting at the same time. You captured the feelings of the game perfectly!
This is truly one of the most beautiful pieces of art to come out of the Signalis fandom. It is nearly beyond words how phenomenal this is. Amazing work!
Absolutely amazing animation. SIGNALIS is such a good game! :) Thank you for making this masterpiece.
God this game was so amazing. It was an actual art peice. Makes me sad thinking about it. But in the true end. They got what they wanted. It was a phenomenal game. In my opinion it is the best game story I've ever played. Honestly nothing else ever effected me this bad.
Again. It was truly an art peice. Wish I could play it again for the first time.
and in the end, we got what we wanted. a happy marriage between the two, and some Sesbian Lex.
Jesus fucking Christ. This is almost like an actual cutscene from the game in the way of direction and the way music was used was also perfect. Like damn. Damn
1:40 proper trigger discipline!! YES!! I’m SUCH a stickler for that little detail!!
another fantastic work. I've never even heard of the game but you brought tears to my eyes, and now i have to go find out
Hope you enjoy it! It's an amazing game!
@@FreelanceSeven i did, even watched a 2 hour dissection of the game telling me about all the subtle references and homages and secrets.
really makes me appreciate this all that much more T-T
oh man i can even put my emotions to words
Idk why, but I find Elster shooting at the Eye to be symbolic…people are going to look at them with there prying, hatful eyes…but Elster isn’t going to let them get in the way of there love…and I think that’s beautiful
How can you simultaneously bring me so much joy and so much pain at the same time?
Incredible animation! I am glad to see such a high-quality SIGNALIS animation. :)
damn i was not expecting to cry 8 in the morning amazing animation as always
I've been binging Signalis fan animations for a little bit now, but I think this is it, this is the best one. It gives us just enough wish fulfilment to remind us of the game's themes, and then extrapolates on everything the original experience gave to us. The bit of writing, the framing, the camera cuts... it's just all good.
Thank you for this, sincerely.
Sometimes, watching this video over and over again, I wonder: Why am I experiencing these emotions? Why is this so close and familiar to me? After all, my life didn't change in any way after playing Signalis, but it left such an effect on me that I can't say for sure that I'm still me... Am I going Insane?
i think its the feeling of loneliness
Yep in the first half I thought my heart would heal after playing the game... but thanks for kicking me in the feels again
I’m not crying. Someone’s just chopping onions
Просто шедевральная работа. Эта анимация словно была сделана большой студией как тизер для игры, а переходы.. они как красивый танец. Момент, где Эльстер передергивает затвор пистолета одной рукой - шикарная проработка деталей, и просто респект от Джона Уика.
Я только недавно начал проходить SIGNALIS, и заранее посмотрел ролики с объяснением сюжета, на удивление я всё понял ._.
This made me weep, incredible work !!
Beautiful work, I usually don't cry or get into my emotions but this made me tear up. Signalis has been stuck in my head ever since I completed it and now this animation joins it.
this is beautiful
also that slide at 1:42 looks so badass
LIZ BE DROPPING BANGER
Cinematography here is spot-on. And the use of Cigarette Wife's drop with Elster's sudden determination and the slide check really cemented how badass she is in the littlest of ways.
Everything about SIGNALIS as a story can be captured here like an art piece I never want to forget
EDIT: UA-cam HAS RECOMMENDED THIS TO ME SEVEN FUCKING TIMES. IT KNOWS THAT I LOVE WATCHING IT.
Ive atleast seen this 20 times and still tear up
Ah another signalis enjoyer
Where the hell was this in my life?! This is gorgeous!
this was so amazing and beautiful! I saw your old zelda video and wondered what you were doing after 7 years to find the most amazing animation i've ever seen, I hope you continue to follow what your heart loves and creates!!
I should mention I dont know anything about signalis but im gonna after this!!
@@thatonefunanon391so…? Found anything about signalis?
@@mniakan754 it is a video game that i want very much!! looks really cool and the way u play is how u get different endings rather than through dialogue and such which sounds awesome!
@@thatonefunanon391 I know about the game and it’s actually one of my favorites of all time, what I meant was what was your experience with the game?
@@mniakan754 i cant afford to buy games rn, I'm saving up. I'm very excited to play someday tho!!
My favorite part of this (aside from just being really well made) is the implication that even in the midst of an interplanetary civil war, in a far off galaxy, full of space ships and android soldiers, the Browning Hi-Power is still in widespread use.
This animation is absolutely beautiful. The composition, the animation, everything
Wholesome, silly, but pain sends it's regards. Always.
Just recently found out about this game and came across this fan animation and I love it. Truly great animation. Keep up the great work.
Amazing animation. Feels like it could come straight from the game, and I mean it in the best way possible.
It's beatiful. I have just finished Signalis and it impressed me so much I'm looking for any fanarts of it.
Your video is one of the best on Signalis. My respect!
Ouch, my heart...
This game broke me in so many ways, that seing this ending interpretation kind of eases my pain.
Yo that one handed pistol rack was legit. I wish UA-cam would have notified me of this sooner I need more SIGNALIS. I was thinking about this game for weeks after playing it.
Also releasing this then dropping ytpmv jerma, absolute genius, you do not miss.
I know this is major copium, but the scene of them sleeping at 2:07 makes me hope that all of SIGNALIS was just elster's nightmare
Also i just realized this was made on my 17th birthday!
when ... all of you realize that not many people in this world can actually rearrange old classical music. i didn't see anybody or any game/anime use rearrange old classical music before, this is the first game. maybe Cicada Sirens and 1000 Eyes is not what we think .. and every OST of this game is really speacial.. this game really make me scary .. when i realize ... more thing in it, really really scary.
Best survival horror I have ever played
I crying now
This is truly amazing, only downside is that I am crying now
Hot damn, this is one of the best Signalis animations I've seen so far. You've done an excellent job capturing the visual design of the game, while adding just enough to make the characters expressive on their own. Great work. You ARE pure evil for that final shot, though.
I cry to the point where I think I might die . . . .I remember the promise too well (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH GADDAMN YOU SIGNALIS FOR GIVING ME TEARS OF FEAR AND SADNESS AT THE SAME TIME)
no man, i was starting to get teared up the moment they started dancing to that music (they start broadcasts with...), and eventually couldn't hold it when words "remember our promise?" and other things Ariane could've possibly pleaded Elster with appeared on the screen. like, i'm so moved by the tragedy of their story, i can feel the betrayal and hurt when they found out that their flight is a meaningless suicide trip to nowhere.
i liked how you've shown us the glimpses of their happy days (or cycles?) on the ship too, how their relationship progressed quickly as they've found solace in each other. and some *fun time* too ofc ( ꈍᴗ ͡°). by the way, what was that movie on the TV that was playing in that moment?
How I imagine the artifact ending comes to pass.
this is the most amazing thing i have ever seen. i will never recover from this ohhhhh my goddddddd
I don't even know what Signalis is but this video is really amazing, videos in this style with pixelated graphics are extremely attractive for some reason
First of all how dare you make me feel these things...
Aint got a clue what just happened but it looks very cool
I cried My heart out, both because I know and because I yearn and long... I don't know...
A magnificent piece of CINEMA
This is more than i could'v expected
i just love the john weack reference
Netflix: Are you still watching?
Someone's daugther: 1:00
This is so beautiful! You're inspiring!
Tremendously well done
It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life.
This is a certified Replika moment
female Androids need lesbian love 2
oh so you wanted me to cry today 😭😭
i love this so much rose engine needs to give you an award or some sort of special signalis edition if one ever comes out like i’m actually speechless.
I just want what they have.
I just want what they have.
I just want what they have.
I just want what they have.
Dang this is pretty good, not gonna lie. Shows you that hi def models arent needed to tell a great story.
goddd this is so gooood!
Beautiful
What does it mean!? I must decipher all of this clearly deep reference and lore!!! (SNORTS A FUCK TON OF CRACK!!!)
Man this is beautiful. I wish I could see them happy together, but i know how ends, and it hurts.
perhaps, this is hell.
I’ve not played the game yet but this video alone gives me more than enough reason to get it.
DO IT
if you played the game you will get:
- new perspective in life (probable)
- Severe depression
- confusion
- bargaining for a better ending
@@povyouretiredbutdontwannasleep Wow, pretty accurate. I got the game after posting this comment and currently have 26 hours on it.
Beautiful
This is gold! Time to replay the game once more
Had my attention throughout. Great work..story, writing, animation, music, timing and cinematography!
I like this one
A bit unrelated, but I wonder, why there is so many Russian speaking people in the comments? (such as myself)
Your style is so unique and pretty it's amazing 😭😭
I like How no one wants Signalis Porn
They just want Them to be Happy for once
God this is absolutely amazing 💜
This is too good, I love it
Why does it hurt so much 😭
This was fucking excellent
😢 thank you for video
0:31 the music coming in. Is so sad to hear 😭
If it was a 2D thing it would've looked like a cut cutscene from the game (not saying that the animation you've made is bad. Quite the opposite, it's amazing)
This deserves 100k more views wtf. Did not expect this to be so fucking good!
Can't believe there's been so much more fan content since this came onto gamepass lol. Right as I play through it too.
THEY HAVE WEDDING RINGS AT THE END 😢
