It's really amazing that, even though 'lonely man haunted by the memories of his dead wife' is such a well-worn concept, it can still tell an engaging story in the hands of a skilled creator.
I stand again by the opinion that you have a terrific good way to do visual storytelling. I love how you managed to show that the first guy in the truck shot himself without a word spoken nor a flashback sequence. The quality of your content is insane and your channel as a whole is extremely underrated (loved the Mission Home episodes too!)
Many thank! ❤ Why waste time use lot storytelling cliche when few do trick? ;D I've also watched your vids since Pyro Cafe and they *_never_* disappoint to this day
Lovely job. This really shows that you don't need dialogue to create a story or show a character's face to convey emotion. I also like that it had kind of a happy ending. So nice to see that RED and BLU can respect each other in dire times.
@@Dominzki If you do end up needing a voice actor for a future project, I'd be honored to give it a try, regardless of whether I'd get paid or not. I may not be the best at it, and I definitely need a better microphone if I'm gonna get serious about it at some point, but I'm nonetheless very passionate around voice acting and acting in general. -That's a whole lot of big, self-important words to say: "I would be more than happy to help you out if given the chance", and I'm perfectly okay with this leading to nothing more than me making a huge fool of myself, because at the very least I gave it a shot. -Also, in case you haven't heard it enough already: Absolutely PHENONMENAL work on the video. Incredibly beautiful, really touching and a sublimely told story.
@@Foxtrot_Lima Thank you for the offer, I really appreciate it! Although I intend to keep this series as "mute" since it fits the narrative and the style I've chosen for it, in case I would need voice acting help in the future for something else I'll let you know about it. Glad that you liked the video ^^
@@Dominzki I absolutely understand wanting to keep the series "mute", and as is clearly evident from this video, it also works really well. I'll be looking forward to hear from you if you ever need me.
Metro, Stalker and a bit of Fallout in there, man, i would stand against god if i was to be told that this ain't one of the most beatiful short SFM films i've ever seen
this is honestly a BREATH of fresh air, The fact that this dude was wearing a mask is a COOL detail, and the other fact that he was guided by his own dead wife is really sad.😔 BUT still, this short film is AT LEAST BETTER THAN WHAT KIDS GET THESE DAYS.
I like how TF2 SFM makers are into Post-apocalyptic theme. Reminded me of a "Endless Rust" SFM, but despite that, your representation of a world seems much bigger. Ambushes, GIGANTIC robots, paranoia of survivors of possible robbers, endless seeming forests and items of the past being left behind. I like it so much, can guess it was inspired by some film or a book, am i right?
Oh I love Endless Rust, it's a genuine masterpiece alongside its sequel! And yup this piece had several different inspirations, such as from games like Fallout, Metro, Stalker and movies like Book of Eli
What I love about this video are the moments when the spirit of his wife was there, visually guiding him through safe passages, being there to not make him feel alone, pointing out the dangers that he can't see and letting him know who to trust is just beautiful. It almost brought me to tears.
You did awesome work here, Dom! Personally I really enjoy these quiet immersive videos as it can sometimes be better that way. This is one of those cases. Everything looked great, you conveyed body language well which is always a nice plus, lighting was great, particles, animation, storytelling with imagery, etc. It's all good! Funny enough I thought about doing something like this for a TSU episode way back in the day when I first started. Nowadays I can't even imagine myself doing this in the main series itself. But yeah, best of luck on your original ideas - I know sometimes it might seem like nobody cares about that because of the low view counts but trust me, there are people out there who care more about original ideas than a standard funny haha video. Stay strong, don't rush and don't overwork yourself!
Thanks mate! ❤ Oh I would've loved to see your take on something like this for sure too, and no worries I'm making these short films both for myself and the audience, not for the money ^^ Love how you did your Q&A btw, really entertaining to watch the entire thing!
It's always a breeze of fresh air to see stories like this. The pacing together with your ideas for stories is always top notch, the music a very good choice to follow the ambiance. **spoilers** After seeing the whole thing here I am hoping that the guy finds some hapiness with his what seems to be new friends. That's a good story, Domi!
The artyom vibes are strong with this character, I love it. If the saxxy awards were still held (and vids this long were allowed), this could probably have won.
I like how before we see his wife we already understand the world he’s in. Immediately I thought the woman had to be hallucination. The perfect clothes, the loving gaze, no way she could be real in a world like this.
CALL HIM AIM ASSIST CAUSE HE NEVER MISSES! But seriously though, how on earth do you keep doing it? You're an insanely talented filmmaker dude, your sense of direction and visual narrative are really impressive. Every single one of your damn films are bloody awesome!
The storytelling and cinematographic photography were impeccable, they perfectly convey the story without saying a single word, and each shot conveys emotions. Also I can't deny that I love seeing the TF2 characters in post-apocalyptic contexts and it is a very interesting resource, the setting is very well done in all the environments. Something that if it would have been interesting would have been to put a little more work into the sound aspect in everything that is sound effects, so that the environments are more immersive. But otherwise I loved the animation and I hope it does very well because it deserves all the support possible. Keep doing great work!
Thank you! The decision of using limited amount of sound effects and relying more on the music was a conscious one, but a version where there were more sound effects could've also been great indeed. This was kind of an experiment in many aspects ^^
I love that his subconscious is in the shape of his wife ( who I'm assuming is deceased). She sticks around the back parts of his mind to keep him moving, to motivate him but also act as his moral compass. The wanderer clearly knows better than to attack people living peacefully, but he feels it's the softer side of his wife that keeps his brutal tendencies in check, which wouldn't surprise considering the things he probably has done thus far to survive this long.
Usually I get inspired by some movie/series/comic, or the idea just comes out from picturing neat looking scenes in my head, out of which I then build the story however much it needs to make sense as a video and what I deem interesting
2:12 I love the raw power of survival instincts that you showed here. The Wanderer has no idea who these people are, friendly or not, but he dares not come out of hiding in their presence. Just around the corner, just out of sight. Weapon ready, but staying dead still. He dares not engage.
Another beautiful example of how much you can convey without seeing a character's face nor even have any dialogue with the right visuals and cinematography. Very well done, had me sitting still to watch from the start!
This is one of the most well told SFM's I've seen in years, You outdone yourself as an animator. I hope the video gets more attention soon, You deserve it for this Master Class of a SFM.
Wow that really gives of vibes i rarely get from games, like Metro, especially Exodus. Just finished it and this hits just the same. Keep it up good sir
The story telling and how it was well put together actually made me tear up a bit, seeing raw emotion without any dialogue telling the tale of a broken man having no place to call home, finally finds peace
The fact that to this day, there are masterpieces like this being created on the SFM engine with characters from 2007 really shows how the community despite the setbacks is still thriving.
ive been hoping for a longer cut from you, your work has phenomenal atmosphere and subtlety, this did not disappoint! Genndy Terchovsky would be proud!
Dat was very, very strong one, mate. Magnificent work. I always like your vids so much, and this one over hits me to the small tears. Keep dooing, bro.
Hauntingly familiar, with great cinematography, lovely music and some really well done storytelling, this manages to cover a lot of well-worn tropes without feeling unoriginal, boring or thin. Very well done!
Man when silent story telling is done right ITS GOOD. This was a fantastic job! We learn so much about what the wanderer is like, a skilled fighter, survivalist, grieving and being guided by his dead wife. The music choice was also really nice! And the changes in seasons and environments with each scene hints that the wanderer has been traveling for a VERY long time. Always great to see another animation with genuinely great storytelling!
I like how he points the gun towards himself when the robot was looking in his direction but not when the medic is, I wonder what the robots do with People they find?
Wow I'm lost for words on how beautiful the visual story telling is It would be utterly disrespectful if this sfm didn't get a saxxy reward. Something like this needs a TV show built in your name dominski. I need more of this you opened a hole in my stomach and I hunger for more and all you did is leave me on a cliff hanger.
Should I do the Valve treatment and leave the story at the cliff hanger? xd Nah, the next part of this series has already been started but is just on a temporary hold at the moment because of other projects. More will come! _Oh and btw_ I usually hide Easter eggs and coded messages in some of the videos, hinting towards this series and others ;)
Absolutely amazing. The sound, the animation, the story - I love it. I also love how, despite everything that happened in this world, it seems that Earth and its inhabitants will endure. The Wanderer and the people he met. Whoever the Sniper and Soldier of the Crow's Nest were with. The animals themselves. The crows. C17 and whatever life she may unleash into this world. The metallic titan still being around is absolutely terrifying, but aside from that...there's hope. I dig it.
excellent work, one of the best short films i've seen, not even just animated, or just sfm, this is a beautiful piece and your storytelling was immaculate. great job!
What I thought was an interesting detail was when the giant was walking by he chose to raise the gun to his own head. Telling us that he knew he’d have no chance against it so he’d rather make it quick than whatever that thing could do.
I don't know if the Saxxy's are still a thing, but you would 100% get my vote! This was super beautifully done and fantastically handled, I loved everything about it!
this is AMAZING! I loved every second of it! the visuals are so good, so much detail, so much story telling in every little thing! and the music, oh it all fits together so perfectly! you have incredible talent, this work is a masterpiece!
I love that the tf2 community still thrives with content like this. It's what I love about the community. Thank you for making this, it was pleasant to watch. Loved it.
Man you really when all out in environmental storytelling for this story, incredible! Not to mention that you were able to somehow give the Wanderer a *character arc!* The only way I could possibly see this improving is adding more dynamic shading to this. That would just be an additional, but ultimately unnecessary detail. Damn good job man!
It felt like a lifetime. Don't take it a bad way. It got me so much into the story that I felt like I've lived the span of a lifetime, seen beautiful, horrifying, a lot.
I LOVE wordless stories. Animation can SHOW so much better than books to tell a story. And couple it with atmosphere and music, and mmf. Perfect stories, the less words spoken the more dramatic the story told
This is unironically peak, I’m in tears from this, the beauty of humanity and the urge to be with others despite the circumstances and cruelty of others… thank you for this and remember to drink water
ENG:A wonderful animation describing the survival of not many people who survived after a turning point. The beginning of the story clearly shows that someone wanted to solve everything with one pull of the trigger and someone continues to live, either because he just wants to survive or reach his desired goal despite the fact that Everywhere you go, death awaits you. In part, the story is reminiscent of the film "The Book of Eli" where the main character also followed his own landmark, regardless of the risks and dangers that met him along the entire path and the wounds received as a result of this long journey, he reached the end point. An interesting significance of the ending is the fact that he left the revolver in the place where it lay, marking the end of his journey. It all started and ended with the revolver, excellent attention to detail. RUS:Прекрасная анимация описывающая выживание не многих людей выживших после переломного дня .Начало истории хорошо показывает что кто-то захотел всё решить одним нажатием курка а кто-то продолжает жить, либо потому что он просто хочет выжить либо дойти до желанной цели несмотря на тот факт что везде куда бы ты не пошёл тебя ждёт смерть. Отчасти история напоминает фильм "Книга Элая" где главный герой тоже шёл по своему ориентиру невзирая на риск и опасности что встречали его на протяжении всего пути и раны полученные в результате этого долгого похода он добрался до конечной точки. Интересным значением концовки является тот факт что он оставил револьвер на том месте где он лежал обозначив конец своего пути. Револьвером всё началось им и закончилось, прекрасное внимание к деталям.
You are amazing at story telling. I even cried a little that the only thing that kept him going was because the memories of his dead wife, and she was being his guardian angel leading him to safe haven. Sure it was the opposite faction but they took him in when he lowered his gun thanks to his ghost wife. Really amazing story and video. Not a single word spoken but you manage to tell the story so beautifully. Subscribed! 😊
I thought this would be a Fallout thing, and i mean it kind of was in a way, but let's be honest this animation is STELLAR with or without fallout's influence in the genre. Excellent work dude
I've watched every single one of your videos since I came across your channel. Never have I seen a harder working SFM creator who's so underrated. I hope you get millions of views eventually, you deserve it, dude.
this is amazing to be honest i started following ou last year but everything you made so far keeps surprising me keep up the good work already looking forward to the next one
Some of the best visual storytelling I’ve seen in a while. This deserves at least a million views. Music reminds me of Deep Rock Galactic, which is a plus.
So by 5 1/2 minutes into it, I'm thinking she's a hallucination. But she's also like a guardian angel. Great story so far. Ok. finished it. I think this was his wife. And she is encouraging him to be a part of society again. Just my thought on it.

After seeing the whole thing here I am hoping that the guy finds some hapiness with his what seems to be new friends. That's a good story, Domi!

You so deserve a Saxxy for this, this sfm is so good! A simple silent narrative but it's done so cleanly

@@zolden37 Basically yes in terms of the script at least, as I always write that before touching SFM other than scouting for suitable models etc.

The wanderer... has wandered into his new home
I respect anyone who can work with SFM, and the fact is you deserve way more subscribers and viewers than you currently have for your skill level
This is why movies like Wall-E succeed, environmental storytelling
Another beautiful example of how much you can convey without seeing a character's face nor even have any dialogue with the right visuals and cinematography. Very well done, had me sitting still to watch from the start!

The beginning of the story clearly shows that someone wanted to solve everything with one pull of the trigger and someone continues to live, either because he just wants to survive or reach his desired goal despite the fact that Everywhere you go, death awaits you. In part, the story is reminiscent of the film "The Book of Eli" where the main character also followed his own landmark, regardless of the risks and dangers that met him along the entire path and the wounds received as a result of this long journey, he reached the end point. An interesting significance of the ending is the fact that he left the revolver in the place where it lay, marking the end of his journey. It all started and ended with the revolver, excellent attention to detail.
RUS:Прекрасная анимация описывающая выживание не многих людей выживших после переломного дня .Начало истории хорошо показывает что кто-то захотел всё решить одним нажатием курка а кто-то продолжает жить, либо потому что он просто хочет выжить либо дойти до желанной цели несмотря на тот факт что везде куда бы ты не пошёл тебя ждёт смерть. Отчасти история напоминает фильм "Книга Элая" где главный герой тоже шёл по своему ориентиру невзирая на риск и опасности что встречали его на протяжении всего пути и раны полученные в результате этого долгого похода он добрался до конечной точки. Интересным значением концовки является тот факт что он оставил револьвер на том месте где он лежал обозначив конец своего пути. Револьвером всё началось им и закончилось, прекрасное внимание к деталям.
No words spoken, yet so much was said. Excellent story and visuals. Subscribed.
This is fantastic in every way! Keep up the great SFM work man!
The ending of this reminded me of Remnant 2's Ward 13. A smidge of hope against the dark. Well done with this.
beautiful; the music, visuals, tenderness... incredibly emotional. thank you
You are amazing at story telling. I even cried a little that the only thing that kept him going was because the memories of his dead wife, and she was being his guardian angel leading him to safe haven. Sure it was the opposite faction but they took him in when he lowered his gun thanks to his ghost wife.
Really amazing story and video. Not a single word spoken but you manage to tell the story so beautifully. Subscribed! 😊
It's just amazing! So aesthetic animation, and music, and shots. It's, it's just no words for this, only emotion!
Amazing and inspiring. So much said without a single (almost) word. Thank you.
If the Saxxy Awards were still a thing this would be a Unanimous winner.
That he waited for the dude to wake before killing him was a really cool scene. You did a good job making us care about the character.
I thought this would be a Fallout thing, and i mean it kind of was in a way, but let's be honest this animation is STELLAR with or without fallout's influence in the genre. Excellent work dude
Some really beautiful shots in this and a cool OST, great work!
Very awesome animation! I recognize the helmet and jacket on the pyro, it's the one I worked on!
The helmet and jacket are dope as hell for Pyro especially in an apocalypse setting, good work on 'em! ^^
@@Dominzki Thank you! I’m glad you like them!
I've watched every single one of your videos since I came across your channel. Never have I seen a harder working SFM creator who's so underrated. I hope you get millions of views eventually, you deserve it, dude.
Such wonderful story telling, without a single spoken word!
Is that armor for the pyro in TF2. Also this has to be One of my new favorite TF2 animations. Keep up the amazing work
You are so underrated! This short film is fire! 🔥🔥💯
this is amazing to be honest i started following ou last year but everything you made so far keeps surprising
me keep up the good work already looking forward to the next one
I audibly gasped after that first scene, my god that is an amazing why to start a short film.
A+ for how well you utilized the available assets
I’m very jealous of your quality, you are GOING places and I know it.
Wow this was fantastic. I have not seen your videos before but i think I am about to watch them all today. Thank you this is super well done!
FANTASTIC AGAIN, great work as always.
its was perfect! perfect! down to any single minute it was perfect!
And people say you cant show emotion without showing a face, fine work my friend making sure my entire friend group sees this art
Unparalleled visual story telling. When he wordlessly chose to leave the revolver, and the weight of suicidal temptation that clung to it, was just 🤌
Some of the best visual storytelling I’ve seen in a while. This deserves at least a million views. Music reminds me of Deep Rock Galactic, which is a plus.
So by 5 1/2 minutes into it, I'm thinking she's a hallucination. But she's also like a guardian angel. Great story so far.
Ok. finished it. I think this was his wife. And she is encouraging him to be a part of society again. Just my thought on it.
