I'm speechless, this is so cool! This short film was incredible, I love the overall art style and aesthetic in this animation. Also the story is really good and each chapter has so much meaning. I can really tell how much work has been put into this! It's incredible! The sound was used really well with the animation, making the whole experience amazing. As a fan of horror and junji ito, I love the creativity and thought that went into making this. Oooo one more thing to mention, is the perspectives used in this animation are soo good and really adds to the whole film. I really appreciate the attention to detail as well because it really adds to the overall picture for each scene. I really enjoyed this! Can't wait to see more from you!

Ah yes, Six Guys. The sequel to Five Guys. One of the more experimental entry in the "Guys" franchise. The departure from the food chain arc is seemingly a bold choice.
You forget 3 guys the sequel to 4 guys a murder mystery
I was abt to say
This _was_ a bold choice indeed, but not as bold as Four Big Guys.
I’ve heard legends of…7 men!
I liked the spin off the best it's called
4 big guys
I know you think that because I’m your Dad everything I say is through a Dad bias filter. But it isn’t. Objectively - Your work just keeps getting better and better. Each rising exponentially over the last. I have watched this all the way through 4 times and each time I spot new things, flashes of brilliant wit that is a glance into your amazing mind and imagination. 18 years ago I held you, my first son, in a dim room hospital room on a cold November night. Your eyes were wide open and we looked at each other for what seemed like an hour. The midwife was astonished at how alert and interested in the world you were. At that moment you amazed me and you have never stopped amazing me. ❤
The video was truly amazing!
Lost my dad earlier this year. This made me tear up a bit.
I wish i could like this harder. your work is intense, clever, and delightfully fun in such strange and satisfying ways. I want to see so much more. Keep going :3
hi this guy's dad
Yes! I sink, be good if someone make game about this!
Easily my most favorite thing about this film is how it's literally structured in the exact way that a dream is. Everything from the subconscious questioning as to whether or not what's happening is normal, to the random character we get introduced to who never shows up again, even to the inability to fully remember large chunks of the story. It's surreal in every way, and it's awesome.
Surprising thing is, his dream literally said, "this is your MIND"
The cooler thing is: we get those shots from the distance where you can see the entire room surrounded by pitch black darkness, and seeing things in a different perspective (out of mind out of body maybe?) happens a lot in dreams! (At least in mine they do lol)
That thing at 4:30, the slight delay and drag but managing to succeed is very dreamlike to me
I love how calm he is. Goes through it but stays completely in the moment. Eyes wide open.
Patient or quick as he needs to. And breathes deeply when he gets riled up.
Industry relatable.
The clock room scene was well executed, where the threat was building itself up and the surroundings of the room let you know that. Like a timer that counted down until our guy was forced to act. Gave me a strong Disneyland haunted house impression where everything in the room was rigged to start doing something wacky. You pulled the “alarm” of that scene off pretty well
I thought this was a big award winning animation or something with a huge fanbase, not just some guy 😂 But I’m definitely sharing this with everyone I know so they get the recognition they deserve
Works like this take passion and dedication beyond accolades.
It isn't just some guy.
It's Six Guys.
RESPECT MAN ❤️🇮🇶
The simplicity of the main character really makes the horrifying and detailed monsters feel a lot more supernatural and lovecraftian
This is absolute proof that scary animations don’t have to be realistic and can be quite cartoonish to make anybody’s spine chill, great animation I love this kind of stuff!! ❤

it damn good
How to resolve a fight with a friend:
1. Talk it out and come to a mutual understanding
2. Send them though 6 layers of hell
There was a lot of subtlety in this, the use of the “6” motif was everywhere. The gun was a 6-chamber revolver, it has the Roman numeral “XI” imprinted on it, and it was fired 6 times. This is really cool.
XI is.. 11

I like the parallel of him at the beginning watching the monsters on the outside and later how he would stand where they were at the end. I also like the detail that the monsters were out there with him but off to the side of him.
Man, this is a hidden gem, just showed it to my friends, it's another level if compared to other short animation horror stories on YT, greetings from Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Anxious to see the next steps of this chanel soon
Thank you so much!

let me just say... the fact you were able to do this as a hobby project is legitimately an inspiration. this is a great example of how less can actually be more.
At 7:01 that close up to the eyes and how it shifts rapidly to show whats in front of the character and what he is looking at was just GORGEOUSLY DONE!!! Its common to see eyes reflecting objects in animation but I've never seen a scene that uses it like that! It was great and kind of horrifying, I was already feeling very tense because of the ambientation and when his eyes shifted I thought the creature would get closer! Thats how great this animation Is, it makes you expect to be scared or frightened and builds up tension!
Amazing work, I loved all of It
This is, without any doubt, is the best animation I have ever seen in my life. Because it is an exact depiction of my dreams. Since I was 12, I have almost never had a dream that was not a nighmare for some reason. And the little details which you notice already when the dream is over, the transitions, the fake awakenings, even the overall atmosphere of calmn, seemingly endless anticipation of terror, which never comes whole at once, is the same. I have no words. Even the "clock theme", so to say. Thank you very much.
Not going to lie this is one of the best made animations I've seen. I can kind of see at least some kind of look close to scp confinement and I love it! Can't wait to see more amazing horror from you!
Thank you so much!
That's what I was thinking! The whole style was so Confinement esque, while standing to be it's own thing! The nonchalant confrontation with terror is what sold it!
It also looks like the Twins in Paradise style
SCP confinement? Haven't heard that name for a long time
@@kript0 me too but its because of the incident
I feel like Nichole represents anxiety the way she can control the ‘security measures’ is him avoiding possible scary situations because of his fears just my little tidbit of here
10 month for that? I thought it took you at least a couple years. Absolutely amazing.
Thank you all for the visual treat.
At first, I was worried that he now lay on the outside of the structure, unprotected against inhuman threats. Never did I expect that in the process of surviving these things he became one.
Is it weird to ask can this be a pilot cause I would love to see the world further explored.
agreed
How is the world supposed to be expanded, they are literally in a restaurant on a tower of flesh in a black void
@@nuclearstuff9442 Not the world in his head, the world in general. So far, we've barely seen who our main character actually is. We don't know where he lives, how he lives, what his current situation is (if he even has one), etc. Plus, you can't just randomly show all this and not do a follow-up. I mean, it's a great story, but it can be a bit confusing. For example, why does he have to fight all these monsters in his mind? Did something happen? If so, was it an accident or maybe somebody broke up with him and he's going a through a dark time, point is we don't know. Furthermore, we don't have any solid ground on what is actually happening in reality for him. For example, he could be a normal college student trying to make ends meet with an ill mom, or could be in hell and this is reality, heck, he could even be in some sort of simulation and doesn't remember anything outside of it (like the matrix). Also, sorry if some of this isn't accurate, just going off of what I remember.
I don’t think I want this expanded, you can interpret it as far as you want but the artwork and author’s intentions ended when the credits rolled
@@puppers4201 True.
I got the idea that the girl that shut the security down, and that whole sequence, was an analogy for what would happen if we let go of a significant other. We would be unleashed to the horrors of our minds and pasts, and struggle to say the least.
7:19 that shot and timing was smooth af
This is a marvelous animation! Loved it very much - I like these kind of plots, which have a great room for interpretation. Let me leave mine here.
It all starts with him hiding from the troubles watching them from distance, but the time comes to fight them. It is said that now's the time to get into the mind of the character. Repression stands close to consciousness - a first hint. We can also see pasteboard monsters on the back - as if his minds wants to warn him.
His trip through consciousness starts from the bottom and claustrophobia - fear of closed places. Closed here - hidden. The hidden fear pursuits him, yet he finally manages to overcome it. During the trip to vent maintenance many pictures follow him - fears, twins at the start of the trip. What is important - none of them have eyes. But all of them bleed in a certain way.
The computer in the elevator is his first step. He needs a map of his mind to know exactly what to do. But as we see later on, it doesn't help much during the escape. Yet he manages to fight back, it takes time and even hope loss, when the light is off. Fortunately, the character chops off the monster's head. But before that he hides and runs away for quite long.
The computer also has a place with a poster or two and they tell us either about violence (most of them) or about memories (golf). One of the walls in the labyrinth show us a house in a forest - probably connected to the poster about golf. The feeling of transparency (if I'm not mistaking) and stickers with emotions in the labyrinth refer to his past experiences which certainly had an impact on him. In the scene where he shoots the door lock we can see scratches on the wall counting days or years. Seems that the character have tried to cope with the first monster for long enough. What's interesting here is that the monster teases him scaring him and demoralizing, as he might have done many times before.
Food monster is in the Indulgence chapter. He just eats. And he looks like a tree or a palm with many fingers on it. He's the quietest of all. And that monster shares an ability that will later on help the main character. The ad on TV represents the process of sliding into fears and madness. At first there's an ordinary cheeseburger, but the more it proceeds, the more awkward those burgers become, including part of the body as a final one. Now the character is done - he shoots one of the memories and gains new powers to fight the new fears.
The hardest of all for him is time. Time can work both ways: forward and backward. It usually goes forward, but when you slide into memories, it turns back for a while. Here's the time monster, supported by a few more clocks. A monkey and a fish are his childhood memories, and the picture is one people from his past (probably even a person he never met or his father). The smaller letters tell us something about a grandfather. Usually kids heritage their parents traits, so it is possible that the clock monster is his grandfather - not the father himself. When time starts running forward, the monster comes to life - the memory begins to arise again.
What is interesting the weapon he used to fight with doesn't work here - the clock goes on. And then he gets a weird phone call telling about a bear stuck in a trap and not trying to leave because he'll die anyway. The consciousness is broken - the guy still has to fight back but he has to choose a new weapon or understand something he didn't to overcome the trouble. This monster is the hardest - he is the closest to his heart. He also has no eyes in eyelids - only teeth. He always eats - no matter with what - with the eyes or with the mouth. He wants to consume a person, especially closest once.
The only way for him to escape the monster is to reach the "paradise" button and he does it. Next level of the fight is much easier for him now - he destroys his troubles with no hesitation, charged by the power of the palm/tree and the clock. Now the last step he has to take is to turn back to the reality. However, he can't do it - he's still behind the mind door. The girl from the begging is stuck in that reality and doesn't let him in. Maybe she doesn't want him to repeat the experience. Or she is the one of the "six guys" - the seventh and unmentioned, as she's a girl.
By the end we see him outside, enjoying the nature. He looks at a girl with beautiful hair and live-like look. They're both colored now. The way all of the colores change indicates the paradise he was longing for. Yet there are still two main details - he's still an employee and he notices a picture. That picture shows the clock monster, his probable grandfather. Fortunately, he manages to throw it into the water.
Let us talk now about the girl. She seems to be his sister, who has something to do with all that weird experience. First she talks to him in the kitchen being the employee of the fast food, feeding his fears. By the end they switch roles - as if she gets a time-off, a quick swap if the reality that helps her to ger back to her precious past. She has grey hair at the start and wears black and white clothes, except for supporters which are red. But the same girl in blue and with golden hair - she's alive and emotional, unlike her older version. Though may as well assume it's all shown from the perspective of the main character, so he might be the one to see his sister "alive" and "dead" so to say.
Still there's a room for various interpretations and I hope mine wasn't anyhow hazardous. Again, I must say this animation is a gem and will gain it's auditory in no time. One more thing to ad is about the smoothness of it - I believe that in this very situation a smooth animation might have spoiled the effect of distress and inner destruction, so your work becomes even more valuable in this matter.
Wish you to proceed and practice - you're a great animator!
UPD: after rewatching it for some times it have occurred to me the sixth guy might be the main character himself - there are five monsters, so the sixth should be someone closest to the time creature as he is the most powerful.
Okay, I've read your interpretation. Firstly, I really appreciate you taking the time to write down your interpretation. Secondly, there's a lot you got right here, your analysis of the time part in particular has alot of good points. I plan on expaning this more in the future so you'll have to look out for any more information being revealed.
Lots of good points here. Although, I think the girl at the end is the person he was talking about to Nicole, not his sister.
I think the sister being the "security" is just the main character's first way of avoiding the fears. She kept him away from all of them in the first place, yet when she "died" or grew up, he had to face the monsters alone
i'm not reading allat
@@randomuser4135 but we up 🔥
I have NEVER seen such an horryfying animation before, we need more animations in this genre, this was such a good horror! Respect!
Watch pleasant inn, im used to horror but it kept me up for a while at night
Stuff that i noticed:
There is a lot of cool info on the chapter cards.
We have a map and title wich are the most obvious but we also have a monster that MC encounters, closed eye that opens for the last chapter (i assume that it tells us if MC is awake {open} or dreaming {closed}), big circle on right that fills with lines (eliminated monsters) and small face wich i think is emotional state of MC.
It makes me nervous because it's just one too many guys.
13:19 the flying cockroach was probably the scariest part.
I love this, I can tell some of it's meaning, but it leaves so so so much room for interpretation while still managing to be compelling. It uses muted colors yet remains visually interesting and full of character, and the character/monster designs are excellent. 5/5, very very well done
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the comment.
Missed opportunity for 6/6
Absolutely love that, from my interpretation of this, you've taken the horror of existential dread, loss and trauma and anxieties, and all the fear the human mind can conjure up without requiring any assistance and given them physical form in this film and showed us this lovely and terrifying mindscape as someone works through their fears and learns to let go.
This is INSANELY well mad man, I always love finding smaller horror animations that are just like hidden gems on the platform. The animation has a very nice specific style to it and the horror is on point, scary enough to be considered unnerving but not so scary that it makes you want to stop watching. Also I love a good protagonist that fights back against the eldritch horrors surrounding them.
the story of the kind of fearless man who held bravery throughout his risky job.
I find it hard to describe how much I love this short film, but if I had to, I would say that the animation and creativity is amazing, and that I immediately loved the idea this story has. Where you kill your inner monsters and become a monster yourself. I also love the characters in this, especially the girl who controls the security of Six Guys. 10/10 overall.
This right here is why I love animated horror passion projects. This video is horror done right, from start to finish. Banging job bro, absolutely fantastic work!
I like the added touch of when the guy shoots the clock guy, it doesn't stop, like how time never stops no matter what you do.
The confronting of hellish horrors, phobias, and unstoppable forces like time itself is super cool! I'm absolutely in love with this animation in terms of sound design, backgrounds, characters, monsters, and really everything! Hope to see more from you in the future!
It's so amazing how this film is structured! I adore the cinematography, and choice of camera shots, the pacing everything! The tone gave this self aware and yet complicit sense of terror, and while it shows that he's going deeper and deeper into his own mind, the horror comes in having to face these creatures at their worst. The way he confronts them is nonchalant, but in a way where he's baring through the progressed panic. This film is so beautifully done, and it depicts the sense of these emotions preying onto a person more and more.
I feel like just starting out with an invasive thought, which would be Nicole, is so brilliant. That's how a mental crisis starts.
This short film makes me have a deja vu, like it feels like I've seen this before in the 2015 when recent unique short films and animations keep appearing in my recommendation
This is one of the most incredible things I've seen this year. The fact that you're not much older than me either and it took JUST over 10 months for what is mostly a solo project... I'm unimaginably impressed. Safe to say that your example is already pushing me to become a better animator. Thank you for this.
Not even done watching the video yet but I'm IMPRESSED. So much hardwork and creativity to make this masterpiece. I really love it man, keep up the great work!
This was amazing, you're so talented! I was shitting myself at claustrophobia.
Every time the main character gets those little red squiggles around him, I just think he has a spider sense like spooder man.
This should deserve more recognition than what it has right now, which is 139K views as of Dec. 10th, 2022..
Feels like a mix of Confinement and Gemini Home Entertainment when it comes to the art and monsters but plays out surreal. Good job.
I keep finding these newly released short films, is it graduation day for a lot art students? A thesis film for the ending semester? Or just outright want and need to create great animations all throughout the world? Well whatever it is I am glad to have found these newly made treasures, well done to you indeed
Thank you, This was just a personal project of mine.
@@TheSixthDoor well it's amazing and deserves all the recognition it gets
I also found myself in the same situation, check out crescence, I liked it a lot :) But this one is such a masterpiece..
@@euphoriehappy1383 hahahaha dude I came from crescence then got this to follow up xD
The balance between humor and horror is so good. Love how much detail was put into crafting this. Great job!!!
This animation is so good!!! I definitely am ready to watch the prequel “Five Guys”
Kept me on my toes the entire time, very well done! I also love the progress of how much your animation developed throughout the entire film. Hella rad
Even though the animation is pretty clunky at points, this is still 100x better than most horror movies I've seen. You have an amazing knack for capturing the true thrill that's lacking in million dollar films (and I think the animation style adds to it anyway, since a perfect animation leaves less to the imagination).
This kinda feels like if you combined the first 5 fanaf games, made it creepier, and then based each level off of different phobias.
I usually despise anything horror related, but HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZJING!! I bet a “Six guys” inspired video game would be cool aswell!
great aesthetics! i adore how you played with framing and blackness in the vents
The time sequence was so incredibly well thought out and it had me on the edge of my seat the entire time!! I love each chapter and the eeriness of Autumn since it was so peaceful. Can't wait to see more!! :D
101K views, 10 months of work. TH-cam gave you 101K views for this masterpiece? This is amazing. I recently got into horror and this just ..... fits. This is one of the best horror mediums I have ever seen. This is VERY high quality and it feels that warmth of a deeper meaning. Thank you.
I love horror
I dont know why, and sometimes I think I'm a little twisted for it.
this... this is perfect
It kept me gasping in horror, shock, and surprisingly, enjoyment
Please keep going with this
I didn't completely understand the whole thing, but it was terrific all the same
The tinnitus from the multiple shots towards the "clock guy" was a nice detail.
This was amazing! I love the character designs, and how well you did the animation :]
4k subscribers, dude you should have half a mil for work like this. F****** OUTSTANDING 14/10! I love the SCP/unknown entity style of this video but I'm sure that anything you got planned to make is going to be amazing. Bought my subscription for sure!
Absolutely wonderful. Love the visuals. Wonderful designs for the guys. My favorite part had to be the point near the end where Sam broke his face apart and opened his hand to shoot lightning. Thought he was about to become one of the guys. Again, wonderful stuff.
Man I absolutely love this, outstanding job! Love the style and how the themes are intersected with these nightmarish encounters, and that some how you were able to tie all these things into a simple yet effective story of grief. I have a question though, do you have any recommendations for similar type of horror like this, whether that be game, movie, or show? Also what type of sub-genre of horror would you describe this? I am honestly in love with this film and would love to find other media like and and I can’t wait to see what else you will make in the future!
Thank you so much for the feedback! I am not exactly sure how I'd classify this genre of horror but similar works include the 'Little Nightmares' video game franchise from a structural viewpoint, games like 'Darkwood' and 'World of Horror' from a creature design viewpoint, and films like 'I'm Thinking of Ending Things' from a thematic viewpoint. Also if you're looking for purely visual similarities I'd recommend reading 'Fragments of Horror' by Junji Ito. Thanks again for your interest in the animation.
I have NO idea what this means, but this is a fantastic animation!
I really like the aesthetic of this short film. The way that it (at least from what I see) draws from different sources of somewhat modern horror such as Junji Ito, Trevor Henderson, The SCP Foundation (specifically Confinement but the use of symbols to correlate certain things certainly reminds me of SCP-esque storytelling), Five Nights at Freddy's, all while adding a distinct style of the producer that really intrigues me. I'm writing this after a first watch, and I'm definitely going to have to go back and examine the backgrounds and details to properly interpret the symbolism that the author uses, particularly in the recurring motif of the pyramid.
Dude, this animation looks so good yet so bizzare. I mean like the scary monster, specialy the Clock Monster. Really capture how time passed and everything just start to decaying.
This is extremely underrated, i hope you will gain a lot of popularity.
That was one, if not the best representation of living as a human being that I've seen. Amazing work
It's rare to find good quality shot films like this so I'm happy to rewatch it to look closer for little details I missed first time round
I almost never get freaked out by horror films but this was the first in a long time that actually got my skin crawling! Excellent work.
Honestly, This is actually insane! I love the monster designes. The horned smiling one in indulgence is my favourite!
Also I love it when people use phobias as the basis for horror, especially Thalassophobia, Tripophobia, Arachnophobia, and Claustrophobia. Just 10/10 awesome! Never going to a Five Guys with more than Five workers again
i like the atmosphere in this ngl, i'd work as a video game concept imo (the claustrophobia chapter was amazing, loved the monster, if i were in sam's shoes i'd already be dead the moment the centipede ram justles a bit)
(also i ended up calling special move as special meat thanks to he indulgence chapter going on in the backround while talking to my brother about flamigo probably getting banned from competative tournaments in pokemon, i've been infected)
Never have I been scared, amazed, disturbed, interested and jumpscared at the same time amazing work I love the animation style and the concept in overall!
I love the animation and art style of this short film, it feels so simple yet the designs of each monster is so complex! What I love the most is the sound and music of this short film though. It adds so much to the atmosphere, it makes you uncomfortable, it makes you fear, it makes you afraid. I felt uncomfortable and scared throughout the entire film, and that's a good thing! One of the best horror pieces I've ever seen.
Those seventeen minutes felt like an hour.
Man would do 50/20 on his first try.
Easily the greatest FNaF reference in the comments section.
The Style and the animation mixed with the horror is really cool.
genuinely some of the creepiest stuff I’ve seen in my long history with all things horror. The atmosphere and the style are amazing ! awesome work !!
WTF that was enjoyably bizarre, confusing, and weirdly surreal. It was like Salad Fingers on crack turned up to 11.
This is both underrated and absolutely amazing! First of all, the animation: it’s so smooth! I’ve made a few animations myself (not on this account), and wow, this must have taken a LOT of patience. The designs and story are all outstanding-the attention to detail, too! Especially phenomenal is the way it explains grief and the mind in a beautifully grotesque way. I normally don’t leave comments, but after stumbling across this, how could I not? Short films like these are always more moving and often have better messages than many animated (and even live-action) movies today.
Not only is this absolutely incredible, but I wanted to say that this has likely the best background art I have ever witness! It captures the mood of the story perfectly, is really realistic and detailed, and it's full of little things everywhere that makes it a joy to look at!
This is just amazing. The composition of the scenes is so good, movie-like good. And you pull off the Kaufman atmosphere really good. It shows you put a lot of work thought into this. Its amazing that you did it in just 10 months but I can see that you are being smart about choices where more details and frames are needed and where the are not. Its unbelievable you did it all alone and still made all the right choices in every aspect. You seem to understand the storytelling, the compositing and perspective, animation, you got it all.
I imagine it would make an awesome video game. There is enough action, there is a story without too much taling, and there are level-like chapters. :)
man wtf only 600 subs?? You deserve millions! this was one of the best animations i have ever seen, great job mane
The quality in this is insane. You're able to capture the eerie, unsettling feeling that I can't even get in a horror movie. The attention to detail in still, close up shots. So much thought behind the composition, so many dynamic perspectives. I absolutely love how well executed the jumpscares are, the subtle hints and anticipation does SO much.
Sound design was great and your monster design is sO DAMN CREEPY.
I love this. Made my day. :)
This is one of the few horror short films that I kept my eyes on screen the entire time, because I was to intrigued with the visual story and not the auditory one. Which helped in your favor, keep going man, you did an amazing job with this and everyone who watched it is proud and the people who hate or criticize, are only angry they arnt that good or are trying to push you greater cause they see you can do great things, so keep going man, shoot past the stars
This is absolutely stunning! I genuinely would've thought that this was a professional/thesis animation, but somehow it's not?? That just makes this all more amazing imo. The time and dedication taken to make this must've been insane, and I genuinely look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!
What an incredible animation, I hope you know that works of art like yours are appreciated all around the world!
This is peak animators work right here I am severely happy that this is the animation that gets you some real recognition, this is true art
most realistic guy, shoots anything that moves.
I can take on six guys, honestly.
Amazing animation, seriously this is incredible. And i absolutely love the monster designs !
I appreciate the creativity that went into this, im proud of you
an absolute masterpiece, I look forward to anything else you may make in the future, and even if you make nothing more, this is still one of the best horror animations I have ever seen
One of the best animated short films that I've watched in a while. The art style, concepts, sound effects.....everything is so eerie and creative !! This deserves a lot more views.
How dare I not find this sooner, this is exactly what I've always been looking out for. I'm gonna make sure everyone knows this masterpiece
✨Speechless, Just speechless that was incredible on literally every level, the attention to detail, the twists, the everything, so very cool this is one of my favorite videos of all time on TH-cam. I can just see the ten months that you spent on this.
I can't wait to see what else you decide to do.✨
So damn underrated, pretty well made art style, great animation and nice sound. Creepy as hell and interesting. I wish this will go viral.
I've never before seen anything like this on TH-cam and it is damn amazing. I can't begin to imagine how long it took to fully animate all the scenes in this, not to mention it perfectly fits the horror aspect of the animation
this is pretty incredible. at first i was very confused and a bit sad that the second guy was just shot and that was it,
but i noticed a pattern at some point and it feels like the character is grieving alot of things, such as the death of an important father figure in the time chapter.
this was a blast to watch and i enjoy the spooky style it has, really up my alley! such horrific monsters, very reminiscent of SCP.
im gonna go share this around, its awesome! keep creating
FINALLY FIVE GUYS HAS A SEQUEL
Your amazing animation is one thing, but I think what blows me away the most about this is your mastery of horror. The entirety of this is terrifying, and not just bc I clicked on it in a dark room initially thinking I was about to get a sitcom about workers at a burger joint. The scene where our mc runs from time to reach the paradise switch is scarier than anything I’ve seen in high-budget Hollywood horror movies, and the buildup to it was amazing too. Every layer of the time room is terrifying and threatening in ways that I won’t fully go into for a comment that you’ll probably never see. I also love your twist; “the main character was the real monster all along!” or “the main character has been turned into a monster by the old monster they killed!” is a classic twist, but you made it completely unexpected while still having it make sense, and it’s both twists in one if I’m understanding it right as him “reclaiming” his demons into himself. He feels powerful and menacing when he destroys the last two effortlessly, and I think my favorite scene is when he’s in front of the Six Guys; the moment when I recognized that he was stalking it the same way the six guys were at the start was a lot of fun. I really hope you create another video in this setting bc I’m dying to know more about Mr. Moon, Nicole, and whether his dad being the time monster is due to his fear of time coming from his dad’s death or something more literal, hell, I want to know how much of the dream(?) is actual monsters and how much is metaphors. I love this video
Absolutely gorgeous animation and style- genuinely didn’t know what I was expecting but this is 10x better! it’s also so detailed and the more I watch it the more stunned I am at those details- every poster and picture is so thought out, Keep it up
i think the story here is that he is conquering his fear of death, firstly he has beaten claustrophobia, he is not afraid of being alone. secondly, he has beaten indulgence, he is ready to let go of life's pleasures. thirdly he beats time, meaning he is unafraid of death as death comes for all due time. fourthly entombment, the reason why he beats it so easily is because if a person no longer cares about time, being buried in a tight place for the rest of their life and is ready to let go of life's gifts, than that person no longer has the fear of entombment. the fifth fear I'm not sure so I'm going to guess is autophobia as it just suits what I have been saying so far, the fear of being left behind by friends and family. the sixth is surprisingly the main character of the story as he embodies the last, the fear letting go. Is what I think, as letting go makes all of his fears bend the knee to him, as letting go is also a fear you never know what's on the other side until you let go, it could also mean it's hard to let go of something you hold so valuable, this makes sense with the ending also as it is seen that he is letting go of something that means something of value to him.
