S'up This project's sorta short and simple, mostly because I had to work around my college classes. Still pretty happy with how it turned out, so I hope you enjoy!
Ok the flashes while Tommy’s running from Dream being a reference to shattered (aka the scenes pertaining to Tommy’s death) was INCREDIBLE. I love that the fandom has taken that blooper and ran with it as Tommy’s biggest fear and what he sees is gonna happen.
Yeah, I think on most POVs of that day's lore you'll see "TommyInnit hit the ground too hard whilst trying to escape Dream" Too much damage from a pearl and died
Honestly I think the frame at 2:45 where Sam pulls out his sword to kill Ranboo is really overlooked. The fact that the sword is entirely red, unlike how Techno and Dream were in the last frame beforehand. Shows that no matter who’s view is being looked in the eyes on, everyone agrees that Sams action of killing Ranboo was wrong, for he hadn’t done anything to warrant being killed for.
In Late's animations, red means evil. And usually when an SMP character does a bad thing, they are coloured red. But here, Sam's sword is red, but Sam isn't. That's an interesting way for Late to show their opinion about Ranboo's death. It wasn't a good thing, but the one who did it isn't considered evil in this scene. Interesting.
@@CJ55981 I think it's also interesting to see that Techno doesn't turn red until we see Tommy, which shows that Techno's evil is only considered evil in relation to how it effects Tommy. But overall the action of breaking Dream out to repay his debt and helping Ranboo is not evil in itself. Its only evil when you consider how it will hurt Tommy in the long run.
Hey finn, even if this is short, we’re hella proud of you for it regardless. Your intricate art and work is wonderful, and make sure to take care of yourself too 🤩💚
I love how our boi Connor wasn't forgotten in the animatic, he's the true main character. Btw i love the animatic it's so majestic! Good luck in your college classes!
omg, I love this frame at 2:45 , where Techno and Dream aren't fully in red, but Dream has much more red on him than Techno. Someone mentioned that they seem to only be red when someone around them views them as evil, or they are doing something evil in that moment. So if you consider that, and the fact that you can see Dream running away here, and Dream saying he wouldn't come back to save Ranboo, then you can kind of get the symbolism here. In that moment, Techno did come back to save Ranboo, while Dream would not. So even though in everyone elses' eyes, both Techno and Dream were "bad", but they did see Techno try to save Ranboo- and Dream running away, meaning that they'd see Techno as less evil than Dream. (and yes, this could be Tommy's view as well) although this is just one way to interpret this- there's several other ways I've already came up with lol ^^'
Personally, to me it feels that Tommy is one of the main protagonists in Finn's animatics. As Techno and Dream are coming out of the water from outside of the prison, Tom watches on from the hill. The frame where Techno is in front of Dream and Ranboo, the only one who isn't red is Ranboo. Tom said before that he had forgiven Techno, so in Tommy's eyes, this could be him believing that Techno is still a bad man, fighting with Dream, against him, but as Dream leaves his side, unwilling to stay to keep Ranboo alive, the red leaves Techno, possibly showing Tommy that really, Techno isn't here just for Dream or siding with him, shown as he stays where he is for Ranboo. But yes, this could just be the view of the general public of the SMP too though. Sorry if this seems messy, was kind of just me rambling. :)
it has been said before that the red has protained to tommy's prespective of a situation, although the red can symbolize someone partaking in an evil act in the momment.
I love how Dream is always shown in red when around other people whom didn’t break him out, and people who don’t consider him an “ally”, or people whom consider him a villain
Dude this turned out amazing! The framework and expressions make it easy to follow, and the colors and style consistency make it incredibly visually pleasing! Regardless of how frequent you post, it's great to see you again; and I hope you're doing well! 💛💛💛 (btw I love Techno's "blind justice" design!)
I find it SO interesting how the red faded from Techno after Ranboo was killed. Almost like his rage/will drained out of him as he saw it happen? Sam was grey except for his sword which was bright red, which could show how the action of taking Ranboo hostage and killing him was out of his duty as Warden, not his true emotions. And Dream is just red throughout like always. So cool :D
Hi, I know you moved on, and I am grateful you left us these pieces of art. I hope wherever you are and whatever you are doing is going in your favour. I still fondly remember when they came out how cool it was and how in awe I still am. I return from time to time simply to marvel at the composition and animation. Best of luck!
0:36 “if you let me, I’ll give you comfort- give you something to take away the pain,” as Wilbur sits down and nudges him but Tommy looks away. Or in Desolate “how can I admit that I would quit on you?” plays when Tubbo exiled him and later with Tubbo kneeling at his grave Anyways I think it’s cool how you not only animate to the beat of the music but also the lyrics
I love this part with Wilbur. Cause even tho Wilbur is a full on douche, a fucking terrible.. person. He still cares about Tommy. He still cares about his little brother.
At last! Our long wait has been rewarded! Take your time , there’s no need to rush to a consistent uploading schedule if you don’t have the time. I’m so hyped for this!
The Dream SMP was one of the things that really got me through quarantine. Without it, I don't know where I'd be. Looking back on these animations now is so incredibly bittersweet, as one relives a time where everything was so unsure and scary all over the world, but we looked to Minecraft streamers for comfort - and that they did provide. We sought shelter in the elaborate fiction and lore and community to hide from all that we couldn't control. It was a safe place in a world where going outside was putting your life at risk. So much has changed since then. I will miss the days of the Dream SMP. I will miss the days of scrolling through animations after watching every canon stream. I will miss the days of watching through all of the artistic interpretations of the story arcs instead of paying attention during virtual classes. I will miss the days of talking endlessly with my friends about our favorite streamers and doodling the dramatic action scenes on my homework. I can't believe it has been three years. It hurts to move on.
It still hurts. I don't think about it often, but sometimes I do, and I'll sit and think for a moment about just how profound all of this was - everything from the streamers to the acting to the lore to the animatics to the fan theories and 3am discussions with friends about what we think will happen. It was incredible, all of it, and it simply ceasing to exist feels like quite the loss. I haven't even seen any new animatics or anything, or heard any mention of it past the Season 2 discussions; it's as if it has been well and truly left behind.
Yooo that subtle nudge at 0:36 just emotionally stabbed me. It's just genious! You can say so much about the scene through just a seemingly small action like that. Instantly made me think of my brothers and I ended up getting all emotional.
Holy shit this animatic is awesome! Ps: I love the little detail at 3:30 where there's a step which is a completely different colour/wood because of how much the poor prime path has suffered because of the creepers and players who don't even repair it properly :')
as someone who has absolutely no context of the Dream SMP and just hears about the fandom from third hand this video was really beautiful. and sad, i’m sorry about whatever happened to these friends.
It's pretty complicated, but basically the guy with the mask was locked up for harassing the kid in the thumbnail, and then he escapes prison and, for revenge, is now tormenting the kid best he can again. The blindfolded guy owed the masked guy a favor, so he helped break him out of prison, even if he doesn't like his abhorrent behavior.
The blood God (the blindfolded guy) is freed from prison by his friend (the one with wings) and goes back to save someone he owed a favor to (the guy with the mask) who tortured the son of the winged man who's named Tommy (the one with the red and white shirt)
This is gonna sound oddly specific, but man you are good at drawing bodies. They head is always proportionate to the body and everything looks real as if there is layers of bone, muscle, tendons, and skin underneath it. Many artists never achieve that, but you did! I especially like this pose at 3:15, it feels very natural.
I pretty much already forgot about the dreamsmp and everything that’s ever happened. But when I saw this on my recommendations I couldn’t help but click instantly because I remembered how beautiful your works were, and I’m sure this one is the same
I love how when the lyrics "you are my only way out" is when Techno is giving Dream tools and freeing him. Plus during that scene, you can see one of dreams fingers is missing, because of his constant torture.
Help, I think something has possessed me to watch this in loop It's so good darnit. The Tommy running away scene is one of my fav of all animatics that exist
Lol the detail of the mismatched stairs color leading up to the final frame is kinda funny. Also, the horses look beautiful! They were really really well drawn! The flashes of Tommys three deaths when Dream was chasing him too, man! Wonderful job! Props to you Finn!
I'm coming back to watch this after the news and i can't help but cry when i saw techno again, he's my favorite youtuber and dsmp character so its heartbreaking to see him gone, rest in peace king
I like how when Sam threatened ranboo, Techno was half red while dream was full red, because techno cared abt ranboo and stayed, while dream fully left And after ranboo died, techno was gray for the rest of the animatic because he's not as wrong as dream and sam at that time The little details man I love your animatics 👌
im so happy that youve “returned” lol. these animatics always bring me so much joy! take your time man, we’ll be here to indulge in your masterpieces :)
Absolutely incredible work! I'm not sure how intentional this is, but seeing Phil (the character the fandom has given the title Angel of Death) reaching out towards Ranboo-not in sadness, but as if Ranboo should take his hand-as he was killed was such an awesome detail.
oh my GOD this was SO GOOD THE WAY TOMMY FLASHES BACK TO THE OTHER ANIMATICS, THE WAY WILBUR IS DRAWN, EVERYTHING ABOUT TECHNO AND DREAM I JUST HDHSHSHAHSHSJAJSKA IM SHAKING RN /POS
Thank you Late-August for your animatics…your art has always connected to me in ways no other media has. They bring me a variety of emotions, peace, reminiscence, joy, sadness, but most of all inspiration. Your choices of music, style, scenery, and color lull me. I always come back here. I hope you’re in the best of health and living a life full of happiness.
I love how at 0:29 Wilbur nudges Tommy and he smiles but then he frowns and turns away and it pans over to Dream while Wilbur looks kinda confused. In my opinion, it kinda shows that Tommy still cares for Wil, but he turns away because knows he can't trust him because of his blind loyalty to Dream. But, Wil doesn't understand that because he doesn't see Dream as the bad guy so he doesn't know why Tommy won't trust him. Plus the lyrics during that scene- "And I know you think that we're done for. If you let me, I'll bring you comfort, give you something to take away the pain. There is no other way now." That shows that Wilbur knows Tommy already has low expectations for him and their relationship because of all the stuff that happened before Phil killed him, but he still genuinely wants to help him out. But then it pans to Dream when it says "There is no other way now" signifying that Tommy knows that Dream still has a hold on him because the only way they can have an actual relationship is if Wilbur somehow stopped following Dream, otherwise he'd give him up in a heartbeat if Dream were to call in his favor. That scene could mean something totally different or just not be that deep, but that's just how I see it and I absolutely love it.
WHEN I HEARD ONLY WAY OUT I ACTUALLY LOST MY MIND I ADORE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!! But oh my god this is actually stunning. There is not a single frame in this that is not colored incredibly, all the composition is so impactful, the animated bits are so smooth, and the atmosphere????? Oh my god. I’ve associated this song, which is one of my favorites, with the DSMP for a bit and wanted to create something to it but this is actually better than anything I could ever envision. Holy sh*t dude
I like how Techno being evil(red) in Tommy's eyes faded away after he noticed that Techno got Ranboo out of prison. It's at the moment where Dream wanted to flee and Techno wanted to save Ranboo from Sam. That's when Techno changed again in Tommy's vision.
I see this post and the only thing I think of is that I'm happy and proud. Happy that you are doing well, nd proud that you are able to give this to us even thought you are in college now. You are gonna pop off again, I swear
Just wanted to thank you, and to wish you the best wherever you are now. This is really the icon of what these years were, and I quickly learned to miss them. Thank you, LateAugust.
Man this is so cool! Your Techno design is just other worldly and the way the visual and the audio go together is so unbelievably satisfying and nice! I'm in love!!!
AND AUGUST HAS DONE IT AGAIN I swear, every single one of your animations gives me chills. The symbolism is potent, the scenes and songs you choose are powerful, and watching one of these feels like a fever dream (in the best way possible). You blow me away every time with your sheer talent and dedication. Well done August!
I've never seen anything like this, I'm so awestruck, every single clip making me remember it all,all 4 hours of lore in under 4 minutes it's breathtaking,how the story's played out I'm so impressed, really
This is beautiful wow. Something about how you have *mostly* still images makes the parts that you animate fluidly so important, like the little nudge that Wilbur gives Tommy at the beginning. I loved the action shots of Techno and Dream, I loved Tommy’s look of determination. This is wonderful.
3:03 being a referance to the Shatter animatic is so cool I cannot get over the visual symbolisms especially the things in red throughout each one. Late August, sir, you have created visual masterpieces for this fandom and I can't wait to see the works you put forth in the future
It's 3 am and I'm losing my mind over the art style, the plot, and the symbolism within this animation, it's so unbelievably beautiful. I will never get over the use of color in these animations. Fantastic.
dude, honestly, this is an absolute masterpiece, your style is so stunning and i've missed seeing it, and your animatics always bring so much joy to people. take care of yourself dude, and thank u :)
This is so awesome and beautiful. It looks so good. My favorite detail was at 2:25 when Dream's looking away from the cell since he didnt want to let Ranboo out. That's how I interpreted it anyway.
Every time these animatics make me feel all the emotions at once and I will always be here for it. Take however long you need and when u get back I will always be here waiting- this is so amazingly put together thank you
You’re art is so magnificent, the way you draw silhouettes to be immediately identifiable (especially the horses! For me It’s so hard to draw horses) is so awe striking, your ability to capture scenes and tension-filled movement by only a handful of still shots, plus the way you work with color theory, is stellar, I don’t know how you’re doing all this but keep at it! Thank you for the wonderful animatic!
This was amazing. Really, the song choice, the plans, everything works so well together! It really makes me remember of the time I discovered Innocence (which led me to discover the Dream SMP) and the incredible HYPE I had everytime you'd make a new video. It's been a bit more than a year now that I've discovered and enjoyed both Dream SMP and yours content. And I'm so glad about it because thanks to all of this, I've had a fabulous year :)
I have a ritual. I rewatch these every Christmas eve, because that's when I saw desolate. I miss these days, when the dsmp was at its prime. Good days. It just isn't the same without techno...
Same. I left the fandom a year ago and just came back now to see how it ended. I miss these times and still hang around too we how the fandom evolves even if I’m not super active in it
Immaculate, perfect, gorgeous I can't believe you've yet again introduced me to another banger song too And your use of solid colors and line less art is just so well done. It just looks so nice and crisp
Ok but the use of red is amazing. Making me cry again with ranboo, but I love how you used red to show the tears on ranboos face when he gets stabbed. And when dream is chasing tommy, those quick little frames with red really just give so much detail.

Just woke up, todays gonna be good 😎
Yup
Hi Evan
Yes this is amazing
Ok the flashes while Tommy’s running from Dream being a reference to shattered (aka the scenes pertaining to Tommy’s death) was INCREDIBLE. I love that the fandom has taken that blooper and ran with it as Tommy’s biggest fear and what he sees is gonna happen.
YESS 😭💔
Can someone link me to the blooper? Or explain it?
@@Dance2rember88 Tommy accidentally died running from dream
Yeah, I think on most POVs of that day's lore you'll see "TommyInnit hit the ground too hard whilst trying to escape Dream"
Too much damage from a pearl and died
Blooper?? I'm pretty sure flashes was containing to Tommy bow and arrow death and tommy's prison death
Honestly I think the frame at 2:45 where Sam pulls out his sword to kill Ranboo is really overlooked. The fact that the sword is entirely red, unlike how Techno and Dream were in the last frame beforehand. Shows that no matter who’s view is being looked in the eyes on, everyone agrees that Sams action of killing Ranboo was wrong, for he hadn’t done anything to warrant being killed for.

The music choice, the colours, Wilbur and Tommy's hesitant relationship, everything about this is gorgeous!!
The line "give you something to take away the pain" over Tommy looking away from Wilbur there sent a jolt through my heart
And when the world needed him the most, he vanished.
2:10 the fact that Dream is Missing a finger is amazing, it shows how much detail put into the animation
Yooo that subtle nudge at 0:36 just emotionally stabbed me. It's just genious! You can say so much about the scene through just a seemingly small action like that. Instantly made me think of my brothers and I ended up getting all emotional.
I loved it. Techno changing his hairstyle for rescue times was a nice touch. And you always introduce me to killer new music. Good luck next semester!

1:25 techno reads a book with a blindfold
This is gorgeous. The way the events of that day were represented was impeccable 😄🍊

when theres no sadist, we got this guy
That last fade frame with quackity holding the scissors is TERRIFYING
I love how when the lyrics "you are my only way out" is when Techno is giving Dream tools and freeing him.
Plus during that scene, you can see one of dreams fingers is missing, because of his constant torture.
I still can't get over Technoblade's design and the beauty of this whole thing. Absolutely stunning and badass
It’s so funny how dramatic August makes it, when the whole breakout was actually just the gang running in random directions 🤣🤣
Who cares if it is short, everything you make is amazing!
“Since we came here together we’ll leave with each other now.”
A summary of Techno’s philosophy, for freeing Dream.
Help, I think something has possessed me to watch this in loop

This was absolute perfection, when asked what’s going through my mind: this will be the answer.
I like how when Sam threatened ranboo,
Techno was half red while dream was full red, because techno cared abt ranboo and stayed, while dream fully left
And after ranboo died, techno was gray for the rest of the animatic because he's not as wrong as dream and sam at that time

In my opinion, it kinda shows that Tommy still cares for Wil, but he turns away because knows he can't trust him because of his blind loyalty to Dream. But, Wil doesn't understand that because he doesn't see Dream as the bad guy so he doesn't know why Tommy won't trust him.
Plus the lyrics during that scene- "And I know you think that we're done for. If you let me, I'll bring you comfort, give you something to take away the pain. There is no other way now." That shows that Wilbur knows Tommy already has low expectations for him and their relationship because of all the stuff that happened before Phil killed him, but he still genuinely wants to help him out. But then it pans to Dream when it says "There is no other way now" signifying that Tommy knows that Dream still has a hold on him because the only way they can have an actual relationship is if Wilbur somehow stopped following Dream, otherwise he'd give him up in a heartbeat if Dream were to call in his favor.
That scene could mean something totally different or just not be that deep, but that's just how I see it and I absolutely love it.
OH! YOU! I LIKE HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS!
WHEN I HEARD ONLY WAY OUT I ACTUALLY LOST MY MIND I ADORE THIS SONG SO MUCH!!!! But oh my god this is actually stunning. There is not a single frame in this that is not colored incredibly, all the composition is so impactful, the animated bits are so smooth, and the atmosphere????? Oh my god. I’ve associated this song, which is one of my favorites, with the DSMP for a bit and wanted to create something to it but this is actually better than anything I could ever envision. Holy sh*t dude
Late August's music taste is impeccable.
THIS WAS SO FREAKING GOOD OMG! that scene with Tommy's scared expression send shivers down my spine!!!!
stunning... just absolutely stunning. Your painting always makes me catch my breath- it's so expressive and just downright beautiful.
I like how Techno being evil(red) in Tommy's eyes faded away after he noticed that Techno got Ranboo out of prison. It's at the moment where Dream wanted to flee and Techno wanted to save Ranboo from Sam. That's when Techno changed again in Tommy's vision.
I love how colorful tommy is now! His designed feels more ruffled, human, I like it!
I see this post and the only thing I think of is that I'm happy and proud. Happy that you are doing well, nd proud that you are able to give this to us even thought you are in college now.
You are gonna pop off again, I swear
what did I say! This is incredible!
Just wanted to thank you, and to wish you the best wherever you are now.
This is really the icon of what these years were, and I quickly learned to miss them.
Thank you, LateAugust.
Man this is so cool! Your Techno design is just other worldly and the way the visual and the audio go together is so unbelievably satisfying and nice! I'm in love!!!
AND AUGUST HAS DONE IT AGAIN
I swear, every single one of your animations gives me chills. The symbolism is potent, the scenes and songs you choose are powerful, and watching one of these feels like a fever dream (in the best way possible). You blow me away every time with your sheer talent and dedication. Well done August!
I've never seen anything like this, I'm so awestruck, every single clip making me remember it all,all 4 hours of lore in under 4 minutes it's breathtaking,how the story's played out
I'm so impressed, really
This is beautiful wow. Something about how you have *mostly* still images makes the parts that you animate fluidly so important, like the little nudge that Wilbur gives Tommy at the beginning. I loved the action shots of Techno and Dream, I loved Tommy’s look of determination. This is wonderful.
3:03 being a referance to the Shatter animatic is so cool I cannot get over the visual symbolisms especially the things in red throughout each one. Late August, sir, you have created visual masterpieces for this fandom and I can't wait to see the works you put forth in the future
It's 3 am and I'm losing my mind over the art style, the plot, and the symbolism within this animation, it's so unbelievably beautiful. I will never get over the use of color in these animations. Fantastic.
Love frame 2:43 where dream is looking away from them while techno just stopped in his tracks looking back.
dude, honestly, this is an absolute masterpiece, your style is so stunning and i've missed seeing it, and your animatics always bring so much joy to people. take care of yourself dude, and thank u :)
This is so awesome and beautiful. It looks so good. My favorite detail was at 2:25 when Dream's looking away from the cell since he didnt want to let Ranboo out. That's how I interpreted it anyway.
this is GORGEOUS oh my god. every frame being fully colored feels insane compared to some of your previous works and is all so beautiful
OMG THE SPRUCE STAIR BLOCK AT THE END. Your level of detail is something i love about all of these projects.
Rest easy King wanted to see this again after the tragedy and it really makes me cry man fly high
HOLY SHIT LATE AUGUST THAT WAS SO GOOD U CAPTURED IT PERFECTLY AND EVERYTHING!! THE SONG CHOICE AND THE SCENES THIS WAS JUST PURE AMAZINGNESS !!!
This was absolutely stunning ! The animation, the backrounds, the lightning, everything was amazing !
welcome home Finn. welcome home.
WOOOO CONNOR EATS PANTS IN THE ANIMATIC
2:30 Everyone looking so cool and then there is a guy in a sonic onesie. I love that
Thats connor
honestly, i can tell how much you enjoyed making this one!! it shows in your work
Every time these animatics make me feel all the emotions at once and I will always be here for it. Take however long you need and when u get back I will always be here waiting- this is so amazingly put together thank you
i didn't get so much serotonin opening youtube like i got 10 seconds ago ever, cant wait to watch!
You’re art is so magnificent, the way you draw silhouettes to be immediately identifiable (especially the horses! For me It’s so hard to draw horses) is so awe striking, your ability to capture scenes and tension-filled movement by only a handful of still shots, plus the way you work with color theory, is stellar, I don’t know how you’re doing all this but keep at it! Thank you for the wonderful animatic!
ugh so stunning and touching... god the shot of tommy hugging himself alone in the house... broke my heart
you did such a perfect job!! You drew c!Tommy's eyes in a way that looked so full of life but also so haunted and that really stood out to me!
Another masterpiece from late August, the track and illustrations were absolutely perfect together, amazing work!
This was amazing. Really, the song choice, the plans, everything works so well together! It really makes me remember of the time I discovered Innocence (which led me to discover the Dream SMP) and the incredible HYPE I had everytime you'd make a new video. It's been a bit more than a year now that I've discovered and enjoyed both Dream SMP and yours content. And I'm so glad about it because thanks to all of this, I've had a fabulous year :)
I have a ritual. I rewatch these every Christmas eve, because that's when I saw desolate. I miss these days, when the dsmp was at its prime. Good days. It just isn't the same without techno...
Agreed mate o7
Same. I left the fandom a year ago and just came back now to see how it ended. I miss these times and still hang around too we how the fandom evolves even if I’m not super active in it
Honestly, to me, nothings the same without techno
lol i like how techno is reading a book blindfolded
Miss the Blade.
I miss this...
Immaculate, perfect, gorgeous
I can't believe you've yet again introduced me to another banger song too
And your use of solid colors and line less art is just so well done. It just looks so nice and crisp
YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE ME LATE AUGUST
FINN I MISSED YOU AND YOUR ART SO MUCH.
my poor baby tommy :(
Bro ur music choice mixed with your art style is such a freaking vibe keep up the amazing work 🌹🌹🙏
im happy to think and im sure he had a lot of fun watching your amazing videos and others animatics
I LOVE YOUR ART AND ANIMATION STYLE ITS SO CHEWY IS SO BEAITIFUL HHHHHHHHHHHHH
YOOOO THIS IS AMAZING and the part where tommy is running from dream and it shows the arrow in head, strings attached etc is so cool
Ok but the use of red is amazing. Making me cry again with ranboo, but I love how you used red to show the tears on ranboos face when he gets stabbed. And when dream is chasing tommy, those quick little frames with red really just give so much detail.
