Fallout 4: Longfellow / Short Film / Machinima (4K)

- Apologies to the users who made comments on my previous version of this video, I noticed some small errors and I wanted to share a 4K definitive version with these errors fixed. I will leave the original as unlisted shortly.
______________________________________________________________
Finally I got around to finishing a semi-long video that isn't an animation test! Who'd have thought it?
I had an idea pop into my head about what the last days of Longfellow would look like and tried to create a short story around this. Doom and Gloom come naturally to me so I went with the idea that after spending so long in radiated fog, he would slowly start succoming to ghoulism and reflect on his relationships.
The film includes motion capture, with Mixamo, Kinect and LEAP. As well as a mix of animated cameras and XBOX controller freecams.
I'm sure there are things that could be better and things I have missed but I hope you enjoy! My next video will be a space adventure that revolves around retrieving the G.E.C.K from Space to save, and reboot the world.

“And when I’m dead and in my grave, no costly tombstone will I have. Just lay me down in my native peat, with a jug of punch at my head and my feet.”
-Old Longfellow
Longfellow is like a grandpa to the main character.
Yeah but you can romance him though
So yeah he is like the grandpa of the main character
@@unknown-dq6df for real tho??
Captain Emo Yes ;)
LONGFELLOW GRANDPA.
DANSE OLDER BROTHER.
PRESTON YOUNGER BROTHER.
PIPER DAMSEL IN DISTRESS.
DOGMEAT BEST FRIEND.
VALENTINE. QUESTIONABLE CHOICE OF FRIEND.
@@JTL1776McCready reminds me of the younger brother.
aw man, :/ Nate and Nick didn't make it in time,
Longfellow when out the way he wanted but....damn that is sad
Suprises me I was able to make it this sad, not quite sure where it came from haha. Probably best not to probe that one!
@@FOANMachinima aw no, we probin it now.
This is sad as shit, depressin as shit
i mean dont get me wrong this is 5/5 good work but daaamn my heart .
@@FOANMachinima what's the rifle mod or weapon he's holding in the rocking chair scene?
@@FOANMachinima Do you plan on making another cinematic in the future?
I foresaw this after finishing Far Harbor and brought him back to my brightly lit settlement of Sanctuary Hills so he could party with Nate and the gang. :D
He gets bored and I'm not sure if taking him back out into the wastes is a good idea, but at least the garden, gym, donut shop, pizza arcade, and Christmas themed houses should keep him entertained.
Longfellow....
Old Man Logan Style
Quite the compliment, thank you. That is a bad ass, well made film!
Imagine if fallout 4 had this darker tone
I think the Bethesda should make game in this tone instead of some shooting
I'd definitely trade the settlement building and the stupid legendary system for this.
@@MisterJohnDoeNot the Settlment system that can be great fail to pretect it when given the quest then it will have lasting consequences.
The combination of lines from Whitman and Masefield is beautiful. This video made me remember my first time playing Far Harbour, better days, thanks for the nostalgia.
Absolutely beautiful portrayal of Longfellow ❤️
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed :)
Beautiful tribute to the salty old man. Very touching and extremely well made and edited.
Thank you so much!
Whenever I find myself rewatching the old Pandamic FO4 machinimas I always have to stop by here. Longfellow is such a great companion to have with you while wandering the fog of Far Harbor. Sure Nick gets like 3 lines of dialogue with Dima, but Longfellow just feels so much more fleshed out as a companion in that region.
Pandamic edits are so good 🔥
i nearly cried thank you for this i really think that no other would have been able to do the justice you did this man
:) You're very welcome, I'm glad you enjoyed the vid.
Wow, I’ve got goosebumps.
Thank you, took a bit of time getting it to come together!
Hard work pays off! Keep up the good work.
Holy cannolee this was incredibly well made! I'm depressed now it was great!
This version of the mod or animation model of Longfellow you have reminds me of... My grandpa from a long time ago...
Damn, just finished Far Harbor today. And I saw this. This really made me teared up. This is just beautiful. Like beautiful sadness.
Seeing Longfellow's backstory made me realize that he's literally what could have happened to the Soul Survivor if he lets the tragedies of his life drag him/her down any lower. And both learn to heal each other their own ways.
Dude, that was amazing and congratulations. This is totally gonna become lore in the fall out book that I am writing based off of the events of fallout three and four I think that this is a good way to tie an and out Longfellow.
Long fellow will always be my favorite character in the fallout series.
Dude... Did a fanmade short made me love one of the companions I use the less and hate a faction that I didn't care for at all?
Ok my next playthrough is gonna be painfull for the children of atom XD
Nate's pleas are more sad when they're for Longfellow then they ever were for nora
17k views only on this, thats a crime. Thanks for sharing dude.
Vid was on recommendation today again, after 1y it appears.
22k views, still a crime.
I've never played far harbor but this almost made me cry
That was heart breaking, I loved it, all my fallout videos on my other channels are comedy's. I've never been good at pulling on the heart strings
This was insanely well done
Thank you so much!
Im so glad my children of atom character made peace with far harbor
Out of all the companions in fallout 4 longfellow is in my top 3
Who the other 2 are will take more time for me to think about
reminds me of Joe Baker (the uncle from the DLC) from Resident Evil 7. Fookin great work man
Longfellow didn’t have to kill himself even if he turned into a ghoul . He could have lived in goodNeighbor and meet Hancock and get a drink 🥃 at the thirdrail .
but he didn't want to be a ghoul.
Being a ghoul is fucking miserable
Being a ghoul For him Is like being a sort of monster of The Atom
He turns into a ghoul
Most people who turn to ghoul lose their mind and become like zombies. Hancock and others in Goodneighborhood are the lucky ones that kept their mind
Amazing video, I was bawling by the end of it unfortunately. Longfellow is such a great character, never could let those crazed cultists live after what they did.
Liked as soon as I could.
Bloody well job, mate, hope one day I'll be good as you at animating.
One question though: what program(s) you use in your animations?
Thanks for the kind words Krash.
You absolutely can and you will be! I only opened my first animation software roughly a year ago. I use 3dsmax mainly to control the camera and animate the human and objects, the in game items you see are sometimes manipulated in a program called nifskope and the creation kit which is Bethesda's own program used to make Fallout 4.
I will add a link to this comment in a bit that is a really good tutorial that shows exactly what I do and how it's done. It's made by an excellent fallout filmmaker.
@@FOANMachinima thank you. I sincerely wish to animate something, even if little and maybe not as good as you.
But... at least that would be a start
@@krashface4870 Haha be prepared for a long but fun ride. If it's any consolation, my first animation was 14fps and just a slow walk from the game. You can use most animations from the game btw so you generally skip animating from scratch!

Dude this is awesome, really looking forward to your next vid
Thank you very much. It's either going to be a space trailer or a ww2 short. Lots of work ahead...wish me luck!
loved that pistol whip on tektus face lmao
Earned my sub man, keep up stuff like this.
Thanks Sam! New video is so out there, quite literally. Hoping I can make it come together.
Cool Video Dude
Thank you :)
Bro even my FBI agent is crying, absolutely amazing work
This...is incredible oh my goodness. Excellent work
Here is the thing. Fallout 4 Far Harbor is my favorite piece of fallout in all Fallout games including the RTS ones which I know extensively of due to Oxhorn. I like all the games lore for the most part outside of some small things in each game. (Not counting 76 here)
But Far harbor is one of my favorite stories in all media and I wish. With all my Heart that Far harbor had been made as a stand alone fallout game so as to expand the story the world a bit, and the length of the game.
I've written much in the world of Warcraft, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, and a couple others less so. But Far Harbor is my favorite. And I have no doubt that while I may never be able to make machinima that people out there would enjoy my stories. Some people.
In the mean time though this kind of work here deserves praise, recognition, hell even money. This is awesome. So freaking good and I cant imagine how long it took to make it.
Very well written.Hit me like the final words of Arthur Morgan from red dead 2
You know this brings up an interesting companion quest line concept.
Having a companion whos changing into a ghoul... Where your interactions with them, determines if they go: Faral, Kill Themselves, or accept their Ghoulification.
Really cool, and clever idea. I think you need to bust open the creation kit ;)
@@FOANMachinima Nah, I need to find someone to do it for me. I'm no good with coding XD
God dam this is beautiful, haunting and yet very fitting for old longfellow. When the sole survivor meets longfellow he is a broken man, nothing to live for outside of the contents of a bottle and old memories to haunt him.
Throughout his affinity questline we help him come to terms with his demons, mentally and possibly even physically if the devils of atom are destroyed. We help him put down the fog crawler that he had been hunting for years and lay to rest his last big accomplishment.
I can really see this being the canon ending for the gruff but kind old man, he is an old man living in very rough conditions after all. The part that hits the most is how he refers to the player as a son/daughter figure to pass on his story.
Real tear jerker
This was a great video! Love the echo in his voice, went really well with how his voice sounds
Beautifully done really felt that
I fucking hate it when a random TH-camr does a better job at storytelling than a multi million dollar company! Still amazing fucking video
This is incredible man! Earned my sub.
Great shortfilm!
Thank you!
12 thousand views and still under 500 subs, and barely any likes. Come on people. Come the frick on and give this guy some credit
Because they don’t make any videos
Still one of the most humble characters in Fallout.
He looks like an older version of Viggo Mortensen's character from the movie: The Road.
If you've never seen that movie, I would encourage you to do so. It's a great film, and I do not think you will be disappointed.
Brilliant film, I haven't seen it in a long time. I think it's time I had a rewatch!
FOAN Awesome job! Very touching piece of Machinima. All the best for your next project.
Thank you. It's slowly killing me,but I'll get there!
FOAN I've been a machinima fan for about 3 years, this is very impressive!
I'm aware of how much time and effort is involved and it has paid off here.
Keep fighting the good fight ;D
dude i love this
Thank you :)
I love longfellow and the far harbor dlc, this really was an emotional experience well done I loved it ❤ thank you
I shed many tears looking forward to your next vid
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@@FOANMachinima fyi i subscribed and hit the like botton hope you keep doing what your doing(:
i still cry every time i watch this, very well done brother
Men thanks you so much for that, you're pretty talented
If it weren't for Fallout games having multiple choices, I wish we'd know more about what happened to companions after game events. All I know is that Ian in Fallout 1 got killed by a super mutant using a flamethrower and there was Marcus and Jacobstown in New Vegas.
Godspeed
This is very impressive. well done
Outstanding...
I see what you did there..(Thank you)
What the rifle he was with on the rocking chair
Hits me in the feels man.
I've watched this a couple of times, and have to say it's a damned shame that it has so few views.
I agree though it's so difficult to get noticed in the day and age of algorithms and trash content. The other downside is how long and tiresome machinima can be. There has to be pure joy from creation alone which becomes a strain as time goes on. Thank you for the kind words!
I cried. Well done..
This fucking video is amazing, the way you cobbled together different voice lines and songs Longfellow sings to make a story is wonderful. Thank you for this. Also Longfellow is easily like the best part of Far Harbor
Thank you so much. Although the animation took a long time I am most proud of the audio work. I listened to all the dialogue while walking in my spare time to craft this story in my mind. The voice acting is great and emotional, so it came together nicely but boy was it time consuming. I'm glad you enjoyed it! And thank you for the kind words.
@@FOANMachinima no problem bro, I can't wait to see what other projects you have in store for the future, keep up the good work :)
Never thought something like this would make me cry
Man, this was amazing, and I didnt even like oldlongfellow...
Awsome! this should get 17M views at least!
Thank you! Whew, 17 million would net me a nice profit if ads were enabled :D
@@FOANMachinima maybe add some at the end at least XD I'd watch video length ad to watch the actual video xF
Like father like son old Longfellow got his tall ship and he’s Steering by a star in heaven and this makes me cry cause this makes me think about my grandfather cause I never got the chance to meet him cause he died in the army I’ll always love you grandpa even though I never know you may you Rest In Peace love your grandson you never got to know❤️❤️❤️
fantastic job man! realy... fantastic!
Thank you! Hopefully I can get as many views as your channel one day!
Wonderful video/tribute, thank you for sharing
Going to bring him to Sanctuary with me after Far Harbor.
Great work!
That just broke my heart…omg..you are a master!
Nicely done...its been a few years since I searched out these kinda vids and I would recommend this one.
Your videos are so cool to watch. I’ve been looking to get into exactly this and would love any and all pointers. Your channel bio mentions your discord?
discord.gg/hyZYGrZ Here you go! I'll fix the link in a bit. Thank you for the kind words :)
Just beautifyl!
For being a scifi post apocalypse fantasy genre, Fallout sure has a lot of western elements too.
Welp, time to download Fallout 4 again
Friggin outstanding...
Old Longfellow you are one tough son of a bitch R.I.P,,,,
Beautiful
God, this is beautiful. Truly, just wonderful.
May i know what's the piano melody used in background?
Just found your channel and shared it, keep up the good work! :)
Thanks so much, every share goes a long way!
Awesome, just awesome
Almost made me cry
I'll get ya next time
Nooo, now im sad for not playing with him more
Reminds me a lot of Pandamic's work. Spot on.
A very difficult level of quality to reach, thank you!
*Underrated*
This is amazing. Just out of curiosity, what did you use to get that giant super mutant?
Found you on Insta and I just wanna say I love your work. Absolutely phenomenal. Keep it up, my dude. 🖤
That means a lot, thank you so much. I will keep creating and hopefully with more subs I can create some more community options on here so ideas can be shared!
FOAN I’m surprised you don’t have more subs as is! I shared two of your videos with my friend who also loves Fallout, and I have my notification bell on so I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future.
@@mojave.dreamer That's awesome, thank you. I think they will come in time, as I upload more complete videos unlike my previous ones which were small funny ideas.
I think my views are a bit low as other smaller channels seem to get more views than mine but generally, I think it is harder to grow than ever before. But I'm not sure, I know your sharing will definitely help! Nice one!
what's the rifle or shotgun mod that hes holding in the rocking chair scene? This video is beautiful!
This is perfection❤
Your version has more character, I like it way better than the original.
Thank you so much. The voice acting was so damn good, it deserved a visual pack a punch!
@@FOANMachinima Lol yeah I almost shed a tear at the end where it showed the flashback of his family.
@@labledoutcast I almost didn't include that scene but man, it was so dark and gloomy I had to show that Longfellow was happy...in heaven. Surrounded by the family the radiation madness robbed him from. Next vid will be happier :P
@@FOANMachinima Where’s that next video bud?
You managed to get me crying, and to that, I give you a like. Just don't go making it a habit.
Oh noooooo my heart it feels like getting shot in the balls 100 times then seeing a nuke hit the world
I'm not crying your crying
Fuck. You should be proud of this.
Omg, bro beautiful work you did here, instant subscribe! ❤❤
Thank you very much for comment!
Dude you’re really talented
Hm. Longfellow is my favorite Fallout 4 character
Awesome!
If you have the time, do you could make a fallout machinima series? You clearly have the skills and not a lot of channels do that anymore
I am currently working on another short video but my main goal is to either do a full length film or machinima series about Nick and Nate (There is a teaser trailer for it in my videos).
It is mainly time that is the issue but maybe with this pandemic, now might be the best time to crack on with it. I'm also a few months away from buying an indie motion capture suit so that will be a major step forward!
Thanks for the kind words!
FOAN no problem! keep up the good work
What programs, apps, or mods did you use to make this?
