Here is a trailer I did for a horror project I want to create. The amazing Jérémy Ben Ammar did the music and sound design .
Thank you so much for all your messages! Some info on the project this is a concept trailer for a series/feature film that doestnt exist yet. I did it in my freetime during 6 months outside my work in the animation industry (animation, layout, storyboard, concept art). Because of the visibility this short had, I had the enormous luck of being contacted by some people that can make this into a real thing . I am now working on writing and developing the story, characters and universe. I am still in the beggining of development so I don't have dates yet but I will let you know as soon as possible. It would be cool also to make a horror game in this universe but maybe later... I might also do a little making of of this trailer if that interests you! Subscribe or follow me on instagram for more news about the project! I will let you know about the next steps ! Thank you again all for the kind messages, I try to read them all!

Brilliant
First on meat canyon
Ik right this is the best, this kinda shit is Felix Colgrave mixed with studio guibli mixed with backrooms mixed with JaimeR levels of horror.
Had a feeling papa meat would like this lol
Skeet man bun
Agreed
Jaw dropping quality
I read it as a jaw dropping quality
Eyes pop out of head jaw hits floor tounge rolls onto floor awooga quality
I originally had a stupid joke here, but honestly, this looks really cool. 👌
@@matthewharner1744 I would like to hear your stupid joke
The way those shapes crawl on the monkey wires, or whatever they're called...
What strikes me the most about this animation, and what I think separates it from most horror media, is how calm the children are. You never see them screaming, or crying, or really running at all. They actively seem to be holding their own and fighting back, which makes it seem like these monsters are normal, every day occurrences. I feel scared, and yet, oddly calm? I absolutely love how contrary it is.
And the only time someone feels visibly afraid they die
@@df0rdeath58 oh yeah, maybe PLAYGROUND is the children are trapped in this magical playground where if they act fearful, they die, and the playground is doing everything in its ability to make them act fearful
Yeah to me it seems as if they are just stuck and have been stuck living such a hellish environment until just simply surviving is a normal everyday thing.
@@vindi167 Maybe the PLAYGROUND are forcing them to "have fun" or die. That's why they always have to look calm/happy
The older sister reminds me of Six from Little Nightmares - so nonchalant and calm while in literal horror scenarios because that's what she's used to now.
The monster that turned the kids head into confetti is just horrifying and such a cool design
I don't think it turned the kid into confetti, i think the confetti its just a way to censor the blood n gore, like the pink blood in dangaroompa, which makes it scarier to think these children are seeing real flesh n blood on a daily basis
@@Anne_Drawings maybe, but they show that monster that release the shape monsters clearly showing its guts after they release from it
@@Gwolf7654 I didnt think of it as a monstrer, more like a prop, cuz the children were near it but it didnt do anything
@@Anne_Drawingsit literally released the hounds, it didn’t have to do shit
@@Anne_Drawings I dont think they wanted to censor the gore. If they did, they would have censored the part with the monster that literally gave birth to three other ones to chase the kids.
I was DEVASTATED to find out after watching this video that this doesn’t already exist as a mini series. Even if the project you end up making is different from this, your vision is completely unique and I can’t wait to see it.
I tought it sayed 9 years ago
@@Scrimsun bruh I wish. I can't stop watching the trailer. I need this to be made. I really hope the guy starts a Kickstarter or something
This literally looks like the stuff Felix Colgrave makes...
@@TheOneTwitchingDeadGirl Felix doesn't like making actual human characters but i see where you're coming from.
good news, looks to be heavily based on a book called playground by aron beauregard! definitely worth a read :)
I return to this every few weeks
I sincerely hope this gets funded somehow, I think this series has so much potential to be one of the greats when it comes to horror projects
**However if any company tries to constrain your ideas, throw them away and keep it solo, I fully believe this could be crowdfunded by the community, this project is... so beautiful, in all its horrifying, quiet, nightmarish forms
YOU SCARED ME SO BAD CAUSE YOU HAVE THE SAME PROFILE AS ME ON A DIFFERENT APP AND I THOUGHT I HAD SEEN THIS VIDEO DOZENS OF TIMES WITHOUT REMEMBERING
check the description, he is now developing it actively.
@@goblinteehee 😂😂😂😂😂 that's funny. Would be fucked up if you were messaging yourself
I feel the same way, I really wanna see how this'll turn out!
Same bro I cant stop watching it
It looks like Felix Colgrave and studio Ghibli said to each other: "we should make a project together, but make it absolutely horrific and nightmare inducing" and I love it
Literally exactly what I thought.
God I dreamed of a series like this. It has everything I love. I wish the author patience and strength
I love how this new generation of animators really understand that horror can be portrayed correctly in animation. I've seen several works and they're just kind of creepy, but that's it. I'm really excited for this project!!!! ❤🎉
I think it's cause we know what we want to see and the animators know what animations are missing to be genuinly terrifing.
Would you mind sharing some of the works you're talking about ?
What about One Night At Flumpty's?
@Cring Lord
The games art honestly isn’t scary, the creator himself said that the game was a joke, the only reason the game can be scary at times is because of jump scares.
This project would fit in so well with Love, Death & Robots, where if you haven't seen it already and you like this kind of creativity, I HIGHLY recommend checking it out
I love how terrifying and disturbing the creature designs are, the way the characters react to them really sells this whole lovecraftian nightmare world, I can't wait to see it!
🤔
The creatures looks like Felix colgrave made them
@@Goobert420 same I was thinking of that
My favorite was the shape spider
HOLY SHIT MUGANIMATE FR?!?!?
yo i love ur animations lol sorry
one thing i notice is, the monsters never directly harm the kids. In like, a way where they're up close and gory and raaahhhh. They stay at a distance, and if attacking, stays at that distance, but uses different methods to then attack. It's almost like this is the way these creatures defend themselves, and these kids are on their territory. The monsters arent inherently malicious, they're protective of the space the deem as theirs like many animals are. If this is intentional i really love it, i often see dangerous monsters attacking just to attack, but having a REASON to attack (that possibly being that the creatures are territorial) and not just because its scary is SO relieving and like a breath of fresh air. And its still scary. And I love this animation so much.
Thats a good theory!
One of the kid's heads exploded.
@sneegsnort-oo8gl that's just cuz the animation was so mindblowing
@@sneegsnort-oo8glthe thing was likely hunting them, which wouldn't be too crazy to imagine given the lion motifs.
This is what modern mascot horror should've been like imo
I like how the monsters have more detail in their appearance while the kids look generic and simple compared. It really puts the focus on these creatures being an integral part of the story and not just scary things. They are things with a purpose.
Interesting, the detail on the monsters vs the kids feels more like a point to make them stand out as unsettling and creepy, since realistic/detailed things like that are more closely associated to more mature media and simpler/colorful designs are more associated with kids media, the detail ads to the horror element and I think that might be moreso to make them look scarier, tho ofc I definitely think it could be both, I just feel like if anything the detail separates them from the world more than it ties it to the world (in a good way)
It's not that deep bro it is not that deep
@@Prodbyhope.mp3 it’s art, beautiful, thoughtful art too, it prolly is that deep hun
@@Prodbyhope.mp3 you will be suprised how deeply things are thought out before they are created
Yes, the making-of video that just dropped shows us some of the artist's notes (written in French, my native language), confirming that most of the monsters are tied to a children's game! The dude with an eye in his mouth, for example, is noted as "Colin-Maillard" ("blind man's bluff"), while the creature from the thumbnail, with the alternating dark and bright faces, embodies "1 2 3 soleil" ("red light green light"). "Soleil" meaning "sun", which is why the creature's head kind of looks like one.
Usually the childhood horror themes are bland and oversaturated nowadays, but this. THIS! This is exactly the type of stuff I want out of that.
There's so much creativity and genuinely horrific creatures and body horror spewed throughout. This is a genuine fight for life and the most absurd part is that the children that survive have calm moments, especially at the end where escape is taunted right in front of them, yet they aren't clawing at the edges or trying to break through the plastic window - they just sit and look out with smiles. The only character that showed genuine fear and horror puffed up into confetti (which honestly sent a shiver down my spine more than blood ever could have in that scene). It feels like morality and death cannot be perceived. This feels like the inside of a child's mind just twisted horrifically into a nightmare - while taken as reality it would be considered a nightmare, but children can overlook these things, even when accepting the danger of a situation they can still have fun or enjoy the games they make up in their mind (the scene where the child plummets and slams the hammer into that octopus looking creature without hesitation makes me feel like this)
I do not know for how long this concept was in the works, what any of the creator's works, or anything like that before watching this. This is genuinely great and it feels like this concept alone took ages to get just right. I'll definitely be looking into this more! Beautiful work!
Backroom: Kids edition
you got that right, mate.
@@user-fe9vm1et9o tbh the backrooms at its current state itself IS the "backrooms kids edition" LOL
I myself am a young adult, and I dont currently have the funds to support this project. But it wont stop be me from rewatching all of your animations a million times just for the enjoyment of it. Cant wait till this project is finished, you are truly talented!
bro get a job lmao
@@alecradulescu5830 I would if I didn't live on a farm lmao. I'm not one to speak on subjects I don't know much on, so you do you, I'll do me, let's not do eachother. Thanks for the reply amigo
i'd do u bro😌😌. im just angry my job sucks ass wished i worked on a farm. shit sounds peaceful as fuck @@reactoryt9714
@@reactoryt9714I feel genuinely sorry for you, that comment was unnecessary mean
@@katiehofacker3593same like tf was this person so hostile, how can you comment something like this without knowing the ops situation
It's been a great year for animation, and the new Miyazaki was incredible, etc, but this is still my favourite animation from this year, and I would lose my ever-lovin' mind if this stuff could be a feature-length narrative. It is so good. I wish I was a multi-millionnaire to fund it.
only thing I worry about is that they ruined too much with this trailer. I would be really disappointed if they showed us everything there is.
But that IS everything there is. It's not a feature, it's like a trailer of different ideas that were animated for his Patreon.@@mintk2598
This is the type of horror that is truely terrifying, this is outrageously creative with the concepts of monsters shown in this trailer. Because you don’t know what they can do and how gruesome it can be makes it that more scary. I hope this becomes a series cause I will watch it as soon as it comes out.
i think you just made me realize why most horror movies are so bad..
That's the beauty _(and terror)_ of _surrealist_ horror
@@josephrusyn9913
It's the fear of the unknown being absent, esp. with overused clichés and genre tropes, or a failure in maintaining the viewer's willing suspension of disbelief, for those and other reasons.
The mix of horror and childhood themes is one of my favorite aesthetics. They just mesh so well together
That's true, the unique fear of uncertainty is perfect
THIS NEEDS TO BE A SERIES, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, THE CREATURES AND CHARCHTERS ARE SO ORIGINAL AND REFRESHING, THIS IS A PROJECT IM REALLY EXCITED FOR
Everyone's talking about the visuals but that sound design is nuts
@@TheAstroProblem what's that
@@bugglemagnum6213 it's a character from Five Nights at Freddy's: Security Breach. Look him up he has a very similar concept to one of the creatures
I am so glad this got mention on the Glitch live stream! Hopefully it gets a lot more recognition because I just adore this concept and we really need some good horror animations on the indie scene
This is absolutely stunning, oh my god, the designs?!
This is without exception the best utilization of animation of animation for horror I’ve ever seen. Every single create has an incredibly unique design and feel to it. Where can I give you all my money
Oh thank you for your kind words! Im thinking of opening a kickstarter or something like that!
@@rodrigosousa8853 For sure, do that.
@@rodrigosousa8853 dude. we will FUCKING AUPPORT YOU ALL THE WAY I am sure you realize how incredible this is but this is Ghibli level animation and maybe even better. Subbing for any updates / future projects
@@rodrigosousa8853 I'll support your project, man, this is amazing.
@@rodrigosousa8853 maybe try to search a producer, i'm sure you'll find someone interested
Damn Rodrigo, the animation quality and art for this is insanely good. I imagine the production would be lengthy and expensive as hell, but clearly you've got huge talent. I'm excited to see whatever you create with this skill
Ok
Bro I swear if you make episode 1 of this, I’m gonna be so freaking happy
is it out yet?
I just found this because of GlitchX and this is BEAUTIFUL I'm so hyped about this I can't wait until it comes out
this is literally amazing, the playground aesthetic and bright colors make a great atmosphere but the way you manage to make those 2 things into a more twisted setting is amazing. theres few examples of horror content that can really nail that bright color and childish aesthetic while still making it scary, but you did it!
The concept of a playground world full of monsters adapted to it's aesthetic is absolutely amazing to me. There's so much potential for a story here regardless if it has a deeper meaning with symbolism or more literal and easy to follow.
Also, Jérémy Ben Ammar did an spectacular job with the sound designs and specially the song that plays during the video.
the song, plus that spider creature and the one with the rotating face after it were all beautiful. the noisework is genius man!!!!
I wonder how the children or monsters ls got in the play ground
Over the last two weeks I kept coming back to this trailer because the monsters had an amazing uniqueness to them that I haven't seen in a long time in horror.
The monsters aren't just dropped into this playscape-esque world, they have adapted to it and their forms mimic it.
This is such an awesome idea, I can''t believe it has never been done before!
Me to
😂
Same
same, this is probably the 7th time it's been in my recommended and I can't NOT watch it. something about the spider thing with the creatures breaking off its body is especially horrifying, and the way the drums kick in there... such a good cinematic trailer I want it so badly to become a show
Finally someone mentioned how the monsters are adapted and are at a constant advantage in the environment they are in
I like the monsters, they look good. They are animated well, and I can't stop watching this.
This is amazing and I hope you expand on it someday. It really captures the horror of living in a terribly abusive environment. When even as kids you get used to things that should never be considered normal. I rarely see that expressed so well in media and the way your kids in this animation just accept the monsters and what they have to do to survive with their facial expressions and body language is perfect.
They don't know it's not normal and it should never have to be considered normal.
Absolutely love this! Reminds me of a mixture of Ghibli-inspired vibes, Devilman Crybaby, and Heavenly Delusions. Looking forward to more from it and definitely intrigued to know how these kid characters got trapped in a unique dungeon crawl situation! ^^
When I was a kid I had Nightmares about play areas like this all the time I remember one was drowning in the ball pit and they all turned into Russian nesting dolls - you've done an insane job at capturing the expansiveness of those play areas mixed with the bright colours and shapes and the eary feelings that come with it, hats off
that would be a great idea to add to this!
No way you're calling matryoshka a russian nesting doll
I don't see nearly enough people talking about how amazing the sound design and music is. The music gives off this un escapable hell. It feels like you're infinitely running from something you can't escape, doing everything you can to avoid it knowing you'll get tired and fall. It also adds a sense of "you don't know the fate you will go through if you fail to escape from these creature" this entire trailer gains an advantage off of the fear of the unknown. The sound design is also amazing on how these monsters do not speak, their morals are not known. The sound design paired with the unique monster design truly benefits this entire thing. I am really..really looking forward to this series, do not ever feel rushed, Rodrigo take your time.
You're an english teacher of sound design 💀
when you do everything perfectly but you're simply out of luck and can't get out of a situation.
ДАДАДАДа. Когда я показал этот ролик своему другу, то отметил идеальное звуковое сопровождение для проекта. Музыкальная составляющая идеально сливается с изображением и подстраивается под атмосферу. Более того, само изображение сделано нарочито мультяшным и от того еще более жутким. Людям сложно не бояться того, что должно быть милым и красивым, но одновременно наполнено ужасом
the music heavily reminds me of the original little nightmares game’s soundtrack, specifically six’s theme part 2. it’s so playful and action packed but still horrific and looming,,
@@strawberryscentedchlorofor9935 still, nothing wrong with appreciating music
If this is a trailer then my eyes gonna be watering from the quality and beauty from the actual thing
Woah I just came back from glitch live, saw the trailer for it, and immediatly thought “I need to see more of this!!!!” This reminds me of the crazy stories I made in my head as a child and the animation is amazing!
This looks so absolutely stunning! The animation style and designs of the characters are unique. It reminds me a little bit of Felix Colgrave, he's also an amazing animator/artist.
i was thinking the same thing!
The thumbnail looks straight out of Felix's vids, but the rest of it to me has its own unique style.
I actually clicked cuz I thought it was a feliz colgrave animation trailer or smth. Somehow it's even better
Wow I was actually thinking this too!
I thought so as well. Feels like Felix Colgrave but a bit more 3D.
you know it's going to be top shelf when the trailer itself is a masterpiece.
Not always, I've already been deceived by good trailers, but it does seem amazing and I hardly see how it could go wrong
Well, that’s not always true, some trailers show only the BEST parts, but I feel like this will still be amazing.
bro i had a dream a but this
I swear
This is SO good, Ive been watching it over and over again since it came out. Love your work :]
Honestly I can't remember if I commented on this video yet, BUT even if I already did I'm going to do it again.
As everyone has stated before, the designs for the characters AND the monsters are just stunning. I love how the colorful confetti and parts of the setting contrast with the gritty thin line-work and the twisted imagery itself. It just makes it feel so...wrong. Like a tombstone covered in rainbow paint.
Something interesting I've noticed about the monsters is that they look oddly...human in the face? With two eyes, a pointed nose, and even a few strands of hair. Nearly all of them are like this other than the bat monster. Even the octopus at the end has puffy lips and two forward facing eyes. It could be just a design choice, but what if over time if you're not killed, you turn INTO a monster? That if you fall into despair, the evil of that place will shape you into a creature that is adapted to the environment you're in at the time of transformation? Like how the tube slide monster has a thin body and stripes just like the slides, the pool monster is similar to a bloated corpse combined with a sea creature, the smiling jungle gym monster has long spider-like limbs that allow it to climb with ease and can even use parts of itself to reach places it can't.
Maybe some of the abominations were children that got trapped there long ago? Hell, maybe this is what happens to any ADULT that enters? Kids get a free pass but if you're older than a certain age you're punished for intruding into a kid's space? They could have been concerned parents, so that would make things even more tragic.
I'm not sure, it's just a theory. It could be why these kids are sometimes relaxing and smiling here and there. They're trying to look on the bright side of things despite a horrible situation so they wont turn. So many possibilities if there ends up being more to this!
Wow, never thought of it like that. Kind of like fnaf, the only problem is this ecosystem is rich and we see numerous instances of the same species or similar like the pregnant spider human thing and the ball rope guy thingy. So it makes more sense that it's animals, plus I wonder if it's like a massive living organism, like the whole playground is connected to rid itself of the children once and for all or like skull island last monsters live on here, maybe someone built it.
Perhaps the humanoid elf man dragging the baby was one of the creators and just trying to find more things to maintain the place. Still good place, I hope there's a domesticated one or friendly one perhaps even protective one of the kids just to add interest. Or perhaps it's like the kid's psrents made the playground and now are visiting to find monsters and have no other home so live. There's so many possibilities and I hope it does develop to a show because it would be brilliant.
@@WozzyWatkins Hey that's a complete possibility too.
Maybe they're just native to the environment and didn't spawn from humans at all, then like you said act as 'white blood cells' to the living space known as Playground.
Or if they were once human, you become the same type of monster if you die in the same place hence the multiple types? Who knows. That's what makes the mystery so interesting and creepy.
A benevolent or at least passive creature would be cool too. It could be some are just more territorial than others. Kind of like how certain animals have higher aggression.
Of course the kids would naturally not want to trust it, and it could either be a short-term companion for an episode or join the group? Help navigate around some of the more dangerous creatures?
I agree! At least a group of mini-seasons like the show Primal would be cool if we got it. Even a web series?
That way there wouldn't be as much pressure if the team is small.
"it's just a theory"
A GAME TH-
I can't stop watching this. The strange, almost liminal atmospheres and unique monsters are terrifying yet so entertaining. I really hope this can be a series one day, because I haven't seen anything like this in forever. A truly astonishing trailer and concept.
Same
Same
This is literally 100% better than all the other children themed horror content right now. It's actually scary instead of trying to trick people into thinking everything is innocent.
i never thought of that but now that I do, yeah all children themed horror content is trying to trick you...
?? What children themed horror content - I’m not saying it’s not there but many people agree with you and I can’t think of a single example
@@Kevintendo i think they mean stuff like poppy playtime, rainbow friends, garten of banban, and security breach, but other than these i dont think ive seen more
@@RADZULAYXE just security breach?? what about the rest of fnaf
@@lexonyciguess security breach is more comparable with the ones i mentioned unlike the other fnaf games because it matches similar themes with them
Not to be dramatic but I would literally sell my soul for this to become a mini series
i'm so glad you got into writing and developing to be able to really make this into the amazing project it can be omg. stumbled across this and it's just stunning! my brain is itched
Please open a kickstarter for this! This is a project that needs to be realized and brought to fruition! I'm obsessed already!!
lol y'all gringos have too much damn spare money
As an aspiring character designer, god the designs of the creatures is immaculate. Really hits that mix of horrifying, uncanny, yet still somewhat friendly looking with that hint of childish whimsy coming through. They're terrifying, gorgeous, and I adore them. Would love to see this become a full animated series some time
it really reminded me of Miyazaki monsters, the way you describe them. They hit that uncanny valley so perfectly
If you have never heard of Tekonkinkreet I would check it out, the second I saw these 2 characters I immediately thought of Black & White. Honestly a brilliant work of animation.
@@platinumphazer Thanks, I'll check it out!
sooo....any updates? Don't make the audience forget this masterpiece
On patreon maybe
I always come back to this every once in a while, I found it on insta when it came out and fell in loveeeeee. The glowy dude with the spinning face has my entire heart
I keep coming back to watch this. The vibe of it is just so immaculate. Unsettling in the best way. And the sound and music design just goes so hard. I would love to see this as a fully formed project some day.
Same❤
It’s cool in an unnerving way
I really hope to the bottom of my soul everyone involved in this short can continue on creating this masterpiece. Every rewatch renders a different emotion out of me and I can't wait to see what else they can do.
This feels like it could be an incredible show with an episode for each entity
IS IT NOT A REAL TRAILER? ITS JUST A TRAILER FOR A DREAM PROJECT?
That last part where they are sitting in the playplace viewing bubble resonated with me in a way I cannot even describe. This was amazing, it's like childhood itself turned into an artistic nightmare!
OOOooo Love the liminal space, dream core, weird core vibes it's givin 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩💛✨️
This is gorgeous. Good venture on doing this!
Hola, Dross!!!
¡DROSS! qué alivió
Verdad?!
Dross?? Mi libro luna de Plutón…
Is this a trailer for a game or for a series?
This setting is so liminal, like a place we've all had nightmares about when we were kids. Insanely creative. We need more animated horror like this!!
I was looking for a comment like this - I wondered if anyone else noticed the sheer liminal atmosphere the scenes had.
There was the pool level of the backrooms. The whole thing is very backrooms
@@lesbehan4007 aka. Liminal. The backrooms are liminal. Doesn’t mean that everything liminal or weird in some other way is “backrooms”
@@lesbehan4007 The backrooms isn't liminal anymore. It became a bandwagon a bunch of people hopped on, and everyone managed to miss the point. Now it's just "Ooh, spooky squid game doll in da backrooms. Ooh feddy fasbear is in da backrooms you guys." Maybe early backrooms was liminal, but it isn't now.
@@testofplaces Stop putting words in my mouth you sound pretentious. Also you're literally the embodiment of 🤓
Goofy ass
ok but even one year later, theres yet to be a monster design that intrigues me nearly as much as the one with two faces (thumbnail gremlin) i adore it
I come here from time to time just to appreciate this amazing animation! The rise of tension with every frame is insanely well done
I think what fascinates me about this concept the most is that the children don't seem to be very scared. At the end they seem even serene, and throughout their encounters with the monsters they never look flat out terrified, and they seem the know the lay of the land, making me believe they've been here for some time. The only character that is actually terrified is the kid with the glasses that blows up, while the other two (who I assume are siblings) are busy with getting away, making me think the glasses kid might have only gotten there recently. There's just so much to think about and I really hope this gets to be turned into some kind of series.
True
2x, the world looks so fascinating and mysterious, and I would love to know "who are the children? What are they doing there? Is there a way out of that place?", I love this
This looks amazing! I would love to see what this turns into, it has so much potential! Please keep going!
I want to see this extended. Please muster all the strength to make this a reality, not but a fleeting dream.
Oh my god, this is the kind of Horror animation that we need right now! The visuals are stunning and invoke a huge sense of horror and thrill! I can tell there's definitely a liminal space, childhood inspired element to it that really reeps "Cosmic Horror"
The music design definitely does it justice too, I feel my fight or flight response just looking at these visuals with this soundtrack! Whenever this comes out, I'm definitely investing my time into it
Yes! I get a liminal space feel from this too. It reminds me of those hazy pictures of playgrounds I've seen in video compilations. Love it
I'm also investing my time and money if given the chance!!!
PLEASE make a patreon for this. This is one of the most amazing concepts Ive ever seen PERIOD...and the only project Id give money to. This is next level, and I and so many others are begging for more. This has a huge audience for GOOD REASON...seriously in love with everything from the subversion of the safety of playgrounds to the animation and monster design elements...a masterpiece in every sense of the word. Amazingly talented. Can't wait for a new update, notifications on and ready.
I too would give money for such a show !n
Absolutely
is no one gonna talk about how his name is pp blaster-
Same thoo
literally this trailer has gotten me so intrigued in a way ive never felt before. i have never payed anyone on patreon but honestly if this dude created one i'd support it in a heartbeat, its so amazing!!
I keep coming back to this video too! I seriously hope you keep working on Playground and make something amazing for this
Please make this into a fully flesged out series, iv been meaning to find some kind of good horror source and this got me goosebumps.
The number of public fears that you encapsulated in this is nothing short of incredible
In short "Shut up, and take our money!"
No, but for real, I'm with you 1,000%

same. it is so beautiful I hope it becomes a series.
This disturbs me so much but I love it
This is incredible man, I would watch this as a series or a film!! can't wait for what's too come !
I know these animations take a long time so I can only imagine what you'd be able to do with a big team backing you
this is going to be awesome
It would be amazing to see this concept fully realised as a mini series. But even if it doesn't, this piece of animation will forever occupy a corner of my mind as it some every single one of my favourite horror elements. Gorgeously detailed creature designs, smooth yet Disturbing animation, taking childlike innocence and turning it upside down, that melancholy feeling of dimly lit abandoned playground toys at night, etc. It all comes together beautifully with a well realised style and clear vision. You've got a fan in me and I can't wait to see what else comes out of this gorgeous project ❤
You seen Tekkonkinkreet? I think you would like it.
It literally says trailer in the title bro
It is a mini series smh
It almost looks like Felix Colgrave did a collab not gonna lie
@@montee3766 YES!
i saw it and my mind immediately thought of him
@@gamerpolice8235, the description says, "Here is a trailer I did for a horror mini-serie project I want to do someday." I'm afraid you might've gotten a bit confused ^^'
One of the few times I’ve actually seen an artist and their project get massive recognition. And by god, is it deserved.
Thank you!!
sell it to UFO tabel, but not to the fullest. just as much as they can produce it, and you can take the rights overall@@rodrigosousa8853
indeed
you don't know how happy I was when I saw this on the glitchx livestream, YOU DESERVE THE ATTENTION AND APPRECIATION!!! AAAAGH
BRO THIS BE GIVIN ME LITTLE NIGHTMARES VIBES WOTH THE TOWER ATH THE END AND MUSIC
I need this as an entire series. The animation is TOP NOTCH. This reminds me so much of Little Nightmares. I love how you turned to idea of a playground into so many unique creatures and settings. Please, I need this to be an entire series.
he is working on it! :) from the description "Because of the visibility this short had, I had the enormous luck of being contacted by some people that can make this into a real thing . I am now working on writing and developing the story, characters and universe. I am still in the beggining of development so I don't have dates yet but I will let you know as soon as possible"
YES FOR REAL!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Be patient for me I swear this video is years old.
I know right
Felix Colgrave type of shit.
how are all these Richard Williams-level animators just crawling out of the woodworks - the dedication shown here is stunning. you've clearly spent years honing your craft and the imagery just oozes creativity. i look forward to seeing more from you 🙏
please reccomend me more animators as good as this guy
@@bigman9905 check out Felix Colgrave, he makes crazy insane surreal stuff.
@@bigman9905 Felix Colgrave is a great animator worth checking out here on youtube
@@bigman9905 It's not horror but the animation is beautiful: check out Lackadaisy that released recently.
Felix Colgrave, Gooseworx, and Joel G are some of my favorites. Recommend Felix's animated music video for Fever the Ghost's Source, the recent trailer for ENA: Dream BBQ by Joel G, and Little Runmo by Gooseworx.
This is so amazing. Animation is some of the best I've seen. It's so chilling, and I can't even explain how much I love this!
Congrats on getting a contract for this project ! I wish you luck for the production, and look very forward to it ! 👏👏👏
I love how not all the monsters immediately seems to chase the characters. They are all eerie, disturbing and unnatural. Something to be scared of, but not all will attack right away. I think that opens up so much variety in pacing and tention that sometimes lack in other horror. I can't wait to see where this series goes!
i know!!!!
Ikr!
Will it be on this channel?
Where can you watch it?
@@Ghibli_Otaku it’s not going to be an actual series unfortunately, this is just a fun animation project the animator did
@@basic6735 whaaaat
But it looks so cool :(
its even better when you realise that whe dont know what there powers are which makes it even more suspens full
I keep rewatching and finding more little details to obsess over. The way the structure at the beginning looks like it should be just big enough to fit a few kids, since the rocks on the outside look like they're meant for climbing, but then the inside of the mouth is so huge, and that little knot of "This can't be a normal playground, so what /is/ it?" and the vastness of it keeps carrying over with each new setting. The way scenes like hiding under the blanket, the monster under the bed, and the girl being dragged away but not screaming all add this feeling of being in a nightmare, like things won't quite make sense, but that won't stop the danger. The kid's head popping made my jaw drop when I saw it - something about this being horror where kids' lives are genuinely at stake, but still without any form of blood or violence, and the threat of not even knowing /how/ the creature could do that to him, or how anyone could possibly escape.
Really hope you get to bring this to life, it's clear you've got a lot of great ideas and love for this concept!
I feel like the scene with the girl being dragged doesn't have a real girl, but instead the monster is dragging a fake person to lure in prey
@@randomarcgunner4543Nice one.
@@randomarcgunner4543 or maybe he’s saving the girl and she’s protected when she has something or someone holding her
@@soomitsunami5936 Noticed the hellish looking pitch fork in the other hand of that... that.. thing, and it's claws? I think the only thing it's protecting is its lust for blood, flesh or whatever horrific things it's planning to do.
@@basdejong1598 I didn’t even notice the claws or pitchfork
OMG I'm so existing about this project ! The animation is so beautiful, the atmosphere is just amazing !! Your work is really interesting
Epic.......just wow man, from the art style to the sound directing. The framing and lighting, I'm blown away. This gave me chills.
The concept is as genius as the animation and chara designs. All made by one dude, wtf??? You’re very talented. I want to see more!
Ah!! Okay, let me just gush about this for a minute: this is an insanely creative project!! It feels so eerie and wrong, but in a good way. It combines (for me) childhood nostalgia and horror, which you've blended really well to make me want more. The fact that even the kids in this animation look so unphased most of the time is both comedic and shows just how much they've seen in this world. I don't usually come across gems like this, but the TH-cam algorithm has blessed me today!
Dude, stop making things about you.
@@KC-xs6tb Media is a constant dialogue between artist and audience. It has always been partially about us because we're the ones it's being shown to. Believe it or not, a lot of creators actually want engagement and personal reactions from their audience.
I love this so much. I keep coming back to watch. The quality is amazing!
A little detail I LOVE is at 0:14, with the kids hiding under a blanket, cause it's so true for when you're a kid and you're scared of monsters in the closet or under the bed so you tuck yourself completely under the blanket to act as an impenetrable barrier between yourself and the monsters
I thought this was real and got sooooo hyped, but now Im even more hype to see this project come to life. This looks amazing!!!
Espetacular, vi o trailer no insta e até custou acreditar haver um português tão bom em animação. Espero que consigas fazer a série como a imaginas pk realmente mereces.
I have never needed the full version of something so badly in my entire life but TAKE YOUR TIME WITH THIS MASTERPIECE
Agreed, and i guess the algorithm picked this trailer up because it went from having around 12k views when i first saw it to now 1.5M!
Cant wait to see what youtubers think :)
i hope im stikl alive
@@yggdrassilii4377 true- 😅
@@BrokenCartridge.
Maybe some reactions by popular TH-camrs will boost the view-rate?
I cant stop watchin this trailer. I watched it so many times now I'm leaving a comment to explain just how much this concept has drawn me in. Its mesmerizing in a way that I cant fully comprehend and I love it so much
Same 😮
I've watched it three times now and I think the reason why it's so compelling is not only is the art incredible, and the music amazing, but it's drawing on something that feels vaguely familiar in each scene. There's a strange level of nostalgia i'm getting despite never having seen this before, and I'm so impressed. The angles and colours remind me of memories I've had in playgrounds, dreams I've had being lost in places after dark, and scenes out of tv shows/movies/music videos (Poppy playtime, Dye - Fantasy, Studio gibli etc)
@@surpriseraisin5892 Yes the music and the visuals together are so perfect together. It's like watching a skewed memory from childhood or a vivid nightmare you can fully remember
SO TRUE. goodness this is amazing and I love everything about it
try playing little nightmares if you havent already. similar artstyle and vibe.
Outstanding vision and quality, the vibe reminded me a lot of Wonder Egg Priority with the cute mood and cute girls being chased by creepy as hell monsters
Keep coming back to watch.. It's like nightmares pulled straight out of a childs brain, looks phenomenal. i will be supporting, very excited to see what you do!
I’m not kidding when I say that I don’t think I’ve seen anything like this in 2D animation. This is so incredibly put together and is sure to leave people itching for more of this soon to be iconic series. I can’t stop coming back to it!
SAME!))
It actually does remind me of Felix colgrave animations and something else. But I can't quite put my finger on it.
@@lykovideos9595 I love Felix and I do get the same resemblance
@@lykovideos9595 For me it's like Felix Colgrave had an artisty baby with American McGee Alice.
@@lykovideos9595 reminds me a lot of the fluidity seen in SIAMÉS’ music videos actually
Especially “The Wolf”
You can't just leave us with 'potential' after producing such a masterpiece. You should bring it to life. The world would seem like a smaller place if these mini-series are not released.
this trailer alone took 6 months, theyd need an entire studio in order to make it a real thing, fingers crossed
If this ever comes out I will support it 100%
It looks great and fully of creativity while having a unique art style.
Really hope this become a feature length thing or series. Would absolutely watch!
This is absolutely phenomenal. It visually and conceptually puts most modern animation series to shame - and, to be frank, most horror as well. I'm speechless.
This actually looks like one of the best series I've ever seen. Up there with the likes of Over the Garden Wall and Infinity Train. Theres so much potential here, and if this is actually going to be a series, I will back this 100%. Keep up the amazing work.
You're def a kind of Modern Myazaki.
YOU NEEED THIS TO HAPPEN
Feels like a scarier Infinity train!! (Positive)
I literally can't stop watching this, I'm absolutely astounded. The animation is stellar and I desperately want this to grow into a full project because the world presented is so fascinating to me! Why are the kids there? Are they trying to escape, or just survive? How many kids have already died in this place? The designs got all the creatures are fantastic and ominous, I love this trailers tone. Thank you Jeremy Ben Ammar for doing the sounds, it elevated everything so much. I really hope to see more of this in the future!! I love it a lot.
I think I heard something about there being 5 kids in this but it’s probably a lie but in the I predict that there will be 4-6 but I think every episode there will be 1 kid dead and then it would only be them but it’s just what I think 🤔
@@TheFirstCoolGuy630 the trailer has only been out for a week and even then it’s a concept trailer, i don’t know where you saw anything about what might happen in the story lol
@@blobfish2611 I said it was probably a lie 💀
His head blew up into confetti :(
And also, what are those monsters?
I need this. I need a full length this. Whatever shape it takes, a show, a movie, a mini-series, ANYTHING, I had my mouth wide open through the whole thing, this is amazing and it needs to become a reality
Have you considered raising money for this project (Kickstarter etc)? You could have an extremely successful campaign with a trailer of this quality. Like many others who enjoyed this sample, I would happily donate to see your ideas fully realized on a screen.
this is quite literally a world I've only ever seen in my dream. So excited to see whats next for Playground :3
i have this downloaded and i share it with everyone i know, everyone says they would love to watch this as an offial series and i cant agree more! this is stunning!
I think the thing that is most incredible with this is the animation is SO GOOD and the sound/music go so damn hard that you don't even need the characters to say a single word. No dramatic speeches, no screams, nothing. You present it the experience in such a raw way that it just hits that much deeper. I've rewatched this at least ten times and I think about it constantly. I really hope you're able to fully realize this because your skill and concepts are absolutely insane and I am rattling at my cage and frothing at the mouth to see this created.
Do not froth at your mouth, that is not helathy!
It's taken me a few days to process this animation because it's so good.
Everything about even just this trailer is incredible to me. The monster designs are so creatively unsettling, and the "camera" angles frames them perfectly! The atmosphere and the lighting is also stunning!
Even though the concept of "kid things but scary" has seen popularity in recent years, I have never seen it executed so well before! I'm excited for what's to come, and I wish these little humans luck in their journey!
My favorite monster is the one at 0:28 and 0:35 btw! It's absolutely nightmarish!
Even as someone who isnt a fan of horror, i cant help but be enamored by the way everything looks here, from the environment to the creatures, im hyped for this!
THAT'S SO FRICKING COOL !!!
Wow, I really hope I get to see this in the future. It looks amazing. The animation, concept, background, monster characters. It all looks amazing. This is awesome keep it up 👍👍👍👍👍 :DD
This is INCREDIBLE. I've seen quite a few trailers for big animation projects, but this is unlike anything I've seen before! Your creatures and characters have already told a story that has everyone hooked - please, pursue this passion!!!!
unlike anything you've seen before? look up Felix colgrave, it's a blatant knockoff
@@skunkgrl its not a knockoff, just likely inspired 🤷♂️
@@luigiwiiUU ✨ inspiration ✨ isn't basically just recoloring someone else's characters and duplicating their entire style
@@skunkgrl The style and character design don't look the same at all. If they're just "recoloring someone else's characters" I'm sure you can point out which Felix Colgrave illustrations these monsters were copied from?
@scumcorp wow, and I thought I was a dumbass
