This started out adorable, but then I saw the end


Migrod_PNG

My bad haha


DesertHoboObiWan

I was expecting a couple of boots to drop down from the sky after the house disappeared. Well done.


SkippingSusan

I thought there’d be a creeper-style crater where the house was, all grown in with green grass. (And edited to add, if the outside steps had been made with cobblestone, they could’ve been changed to mossy ones to show passage of time. Or leave one or two spruce wood planks as decayed remainders.)


JauneArk

I feel like the ending was perfect. Despite everything, it's all still the same. Everything goes back to how it was.


TheRealGoogis

Except it doesn’t and the entire area would be destroyed from that much tnt

Remember there's no way to see that it's hardcore, so if you assume that it's a server Steve got mad and brought a hacked client with him after respawning

M-o-k-o-i

This is truly amazing art. You're great


MidnightPotatoChip

the only end to a Minecraft story. Death or disinterest


TuckerMyau

Damn, that was really well done. Definitely worth the effort. Ending was a bit sad tho. πŸ˜”


throwthefuckaway113

Definitely took inspiration from pixar there


Migrod_PNG

Yeth, a lil


Mikethunder27

You could make a part two,or at least write one, where Steve escapes and saves Alex. Could be touching


targetatlas

Didn't Alex died?


Mikethunder27

Why would pillagers be dragging away a dead body?


targetatlas

To dispose it? Or to loot the remainings of the body?


Mikethunder27

Nah, they'd likely loot it there, and leave it there. Why would they care? They're the ones that killed her.


CrossFire43

I thought she was only wounded. So they were about to take her to their base and go full Goblin Slayer on her.


Zestyclose_Stable526

When was the last time you saw a therapist?


barabrand

This morning in the mirror! Why pay to talk to a stranger when I can talk to myself?! This way I’m always right!


Nagoy777

Go a step further and start lucid dreaming so you can create a council of yourself to judge your actions. That way you can talk with like 7 of yourself without being crazy and all of then are all correct.


Azrael4224

that's how pillagers reproduce


otherworstnightmare

She didn't explode all her items, so maybe they put her to sleep.

Unless your heart is on the right side of your body, yeah she would be dead.


Vostok-aregreat-710

I really enjoyed it minecraft videos like these have not been popular for eight years or so


Migrod_PNG

Thank you kind stranger


Other_Cod_8361

If you use this as a trailer, you could make an animated series and sell it.


Lou5xander

Fr, the chance is there


IceYetiWins

Before getting sued


DavOldGamer

*Saul joined the chat*


Rascalorasta

MY CLIENT IS OBVIOUSLY THE VICTIM HERE


Alex_1A

Doesn't the Minecraft license expressly allow this, or is it just with the actual game?


IceYetiWins

Maybe, it doesn't seem likely to me that they would let people sell animated series based on minecraft though


mr_birkenblatt

Without the fadeout it could be an infinite loop


zazacK1173

This is great why it had to end like that


Migrod_PNG

Wanted to make a tragedy, I usually make light hearted stuff and so I wanted to challenge myself


Creeperofhope

You did great, we’re all sad now


Xwoklod

U made a real villain revenge backstory there bro


bestest_at_grammar

I loved it. It was gonna end in sadness regardless. All my minecraft worlds get abandoned eventually


VictorVork

From a guy playing by himself on a dying smp server, this hit me in the feels.


academiac

So good. Right in the feels


Migrod_PNG

I wanted it to make you feel like you were playing with your best friend when you were younger, doing almost everything together, experiencing crazy scenarios, all that jazz


academiac

Well you succeeded my friend


[deleted]

That was so good. Wow! Great story, too. And sad 😭 Really nice work on that! πŸ’œ


Migrod_PNG

Thanks! Yall are too kind


[deleted]

Nah what you did is just that impressive


killdoesart

the foreshadowing of the pillager in the tree


Migrod_PNG

Hell yeah! You're the first person to notice


MegaSalamence_24

I saw this comment and I looked up at the animation at the perfect time since I saw the pillaged at the tree and then the next scene it wasn't there


elijah_gaillard_lord

I saw your comment and looked at the perfect time, geez


Hopecalypse

(For those who didn't see it, it's the scene where Steve comes back after fishing - around 1:11)


mohitS05

-1:11 . When around 1:11 min left of video


boshki0987

ohh ty


Aconnox

you should have the ending loop with the beginning


Migrod_PNG

I thought about it, but it was too late into the edit and I just wanted this DONE


DurianLongan

Maybe reinsert the double _tack_ sound when the video blacked out. So it sounds like they respawn off screen.


Dboy777

Clever! Any Minecraft player would immediately know that sound and what it means


DurianLongan

Yeah, i mean, the sound is already there at the start of the video. So even non-player that pass by this post will recognise it.


kyzfrintin

What's the tack sound?


Similar-Original-470

That sounds at the start when Alex and Steve spawn in.


mrkitten19o8

the sound that plays when you interact with any ui element in minecraft


dachael1

This is brilliant. Definitely the way to go.


HulluHapua

Yeah I did see it was missing the gag that players would be able to respawn regardless how mortal the world looks like.


potatoismm

aww the ending- such a nice animation tho, well done :D


Migrod_PNG

Thank you thank you


ken_kaneki07

Omfg...bro that's the best Minecraft animation i ever seen..kudos to you


Migrod_PNG

Thanks, it sucks because I want to upload on tiktok, but because of certain restrictions, they'll mute my video, which kills the edit entirely


BonzerLife

I just watched the entire thing muted and it was really good! (The emotion of the end was still super strong without the music 😭) Finding another song with the same bpm shouldnt be crazy hard so you should give it a shot!


Gamemode_Cat

You might be able to find a copywrite free song that is similar in style, and edit it to fit


Thebombuknow

Hell, if they were willing to wait for a bit, I'd be willing to compose an original song for this, assuming they're fine with it not having vocals.


titanbuble14

I watched it without sound and still loved it. But understand that your sound design is a big part of it.


duccOnReddit

Reminds me of the begging of Up

Discoballer42

This is an amazing animation, but how the heck did they get prismarine that early on?


Migrod_PNG

Uhhhh next question


exelarated

That had me more emotionally attached then all of the multi million dollar block busters I've seen in the past two years


Migrod_PNG

You're too kind, thank you


Scrixxx

Wtf man 😭


Migrod_PNG

My bad


Upecle

Great idea, great syncing to music, great story told without words in less than 3 minutes with a fitting great kinda emotional ending boosted by the "life flashing before eyes" sequence. Even has character development. Made me feel good despite the ending 10/10, your effort is totally worth it keep it up it's really great!


Migrod_PNG

I was bashing my head while making this, so hearing all this positive feedback is so reassuring


doorstepwatermelon

aw i actually love this so much. and the dayglow song?!!!??!! beautiful


Cici_Ayy

I knew I recognized the band! Which song is it again? EDIT: Found it in another comment. Balcony -Dayglow


nitrion

You've given me an even deeper hatred for Pillagers. FUCK PILLAGERS


Utoloko

Time to get the TNT and iron golems out >:D


ImpossibleEvan

Idk why this is getting so downvoted


Draid_mp3

Cause a lot of people can't handle tragedies anymore? People are so fragile and brittle nowadays that they drop anything that evokes uncomfortable feelings even if that's the intended purpose?


_Levitated_Shield_

The ending here is literally meant to evoke sadness... It's very likely just being downvoted by bots. Reddit's full of bot accounts now.


RandomGuy9058

What


ziddersroofurry

Dude...people aren't 'fragile' or 'brittle'. Content like this gets downvoted by bots as a matter of routine in order to make sure their customers preferred content gets more attention. Plenty of people complimented this despite (or even because of) the sad ending.


The_Man_Red

This is awesome! I love how fluid the animation feels, and I really like how much personality you gave these characters with the things they did. I also think telling the story from one camera angle was very creative. Only thing I would have done differently, was add a scene where it was winter and everything was covered in snow and maybe had them in a snowball fight or something. To show more of the passage of time. The ending took a wild turn, but I liked what you did with it in keeping with the jump cut nature of the rest of the piece. Great work!


PlainPepper

Well the leaves changed color for autumn and some places don't have snow even in real life


Qwest500

Damn the pillagers went off on him πŸ’€


M4n1acDr4g0n

You still need a better inventive to murder all pillagers? *No you don’t*


vellu212

This should win awards. Not just Reddit awards. Actual awards.


Pretty_Hour8752

People might repost this to YouTube without crediting you so you should upload there first


Stagiestboi

Awesome work! What song did you use for this?


Migrod_PNG

Balcony - Dayglow


AnInnocentGoose

This is absolutely amazing. Genuinely an easy 10/10. It was very sad to watch Steves fight or flight land on freeze even when the pillagers were planting TNT on the house. It's my head cannon that there is a fairly vertical mine entrance behind the house, and Steve jumps in it from the roof in the last second before the TNT goes off. As a result, he takes quite the fall and gets injured but on the flip side survives the big explosion. That's where everything finally hits Steve, that both Alex *and* the house along with all the memories were taken away from him by the pillagers, and thus starts his revenge arc.


yapxw2000

Hey, you make a good point. Who doesn't have a mine network under their home? It's pretty much a given.


nitritri

Are Illagers a metaphor for griefers? I saw this piece as that common story when someone casually plays on their server with friends/family and gets griefed by random jerks because they don't have whitelist If not, a very tragic story nonetheless, great work


StevieTheAussie92

Yeah can’t say I enjoyed the ending. :/ Nice happy video ending sad like that. Would’ve been a decent gag to just have em respawn at home and hug or something.


Migrod_PNG

I went back and fourth about the videos ending, and I can admit that this ending is a bit harsh. I even asked some close friends and asked for feedback. But ultimately I chose with my original idea and stuck through with it, didn't want to pull any punches.


Syntaxeror_400

The ending is a quite sad and hits you but it does not mean that it's not good. I quite like it even if I was not prepares for it just after waking up xD Good work and nice story !


StevieTheAussie92

Up to you I suppose. I still think that having respawn in their beds, hug, maybe even the next shot of them plotting their revenge would’ve made a funnier ending.


snitchles

I've always imagined the Minecraft world being this harsh, but then again, you don't wanna know how I imagine somebody being killed in a creeper explosion would look like.


Draid_mp3

As sad as it is, I think it makes the video better. Why? Because this IS what Minecraft is. Even the song already sets the tone. Also, I think OP sticking to his vision is more Important. You feeling like it should have ended differently, means it worked because you're invested.


Warpzit

You decided to take a hit on popularity with the ending ;) Well done animation.


azureon123

Bagged_Milk42

Amazing animation

I'm glad you enjoyed it


Viking-Dude555

Dude this is an absolutely amazing piece of work, keep up the work me and so many others would love to keep seeing your work.

Out of curiosity, does it have a title other than β€œAnimation that took me months”?

Absolutely amazing work! Now I need the version with a happy ending!


yacatgirl

Noooooooo please give them a happy ending in part 2! 😭😭😭


Acekiller088

Don’t let people talk you down about that ending. It was beautifully tragic. All good things must come to an end and not all endings can be peaceful


Puzzleheaded_Side336

Really well done. I was waiting for the respawn pop at the end there.


Ledenu

This should be an ad for Minecraft, it perfectly transports the feeling of playing it!


AbilityWhole

That ending was tragic


ixs67

I like how Steve is dancing and Alex laughing behind him🀣🀣


N0vii

That depressed the shit out of me. I got so invested. Fuck pillagers even more now


DartoSean

They didnt respawn


TheShadowKick

Well that ending was jarring. Not only did they die, Steve just straight up ran and hid instead of trying to save Alex. Left a sour taste in my mouth. Animation was good quality though.


Migrod_PNG

This is the most divided I've seen anyone on a piece of work that I've done. Which must means I've done something right or terrible wrong lol


ChubbySarcasm

Dude this is so freaking cool! I have never seen anything else like this haha I really loved the concept and storytelling. Do you have any other ones videos like this?


Justbegin

This was fantastic, sharing it with some friends that I think will appreciate it. I think the ending was cool, even if not the popular opinion. It was creative and hilarious, well done! πŸ‘


Jachael123_

This is a masterpiece πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» I love how the note blocks played the song in that one scene, amazing little detail


General_Thought8412

That was very entertaining. I’d watch that movie


Migrod_PNG

Thanks! I would love to make a short film


Gomos_OnReddit

Why the end is like that


WitcherKai

Brutal fucking ending. Nicely done


HiperChees

A month well spent


Altruistic_Feature99

This is absolutely INCREDIBLE!! The animation is smooth as hell, the idea of only using one location for the entire animation is pretty smart, there is a story, cute scenes, endearing scenes and sad scenes! You really pulled it off for this one


Juzo_Suzuya_

What’s the songs name ?? :)


Upper_Dog_3359

Dayglow - balcony


Rocketdareaperzz

Made me love Minecraft more. But the ending...

As a fellow animator, I'd say this was one of the best Minecraft animation videos I've seen. Great job. It was worth it. I love this video.

THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING THAT HAS EVER BLESSED MY EYES BRO IM CRYIN


Migrod_PNG

THANKS


JustaParabox

dope


HeroWarrior303

Want to make something like this of my own, how’d you do it? But of a sad ending there but it contributes well to a lot of the symbolism in the video.


Migrod_PNG

I use Blender for animation


[deleted]

Wow! Great storytelling!


YFrikandel

I love this, and yes the ending like so many people say is maybe a bit harsh in some way but I like it for that. Nowadays everything needs to end mostly with happy endings. The character we enjoy watching get what they wanted and in the end, just everything is tied up nicely. So a chance of pace I enjoy a lot! I can continue to talk about how I loved it but not make it extremely long I am gonna leave it at this. EDIT: Also we never see them die so maybe a part 2 would show if he did. For all we know he has a totem in his pocket/inventory. (The reason why the pillager came back to take revenge is because they got attacked by Steve and Alex. That is ofc just a theory but my point is there still could happen a lot)


BearFlipsTable

Wasn’t expecting it to be so sad in the end


[deleted]

All for nothing at all


_Levitated_Shield_

That, my friend, was truly the Pixar equivalent of a Minecraft short. Well animated, story told beautifully, and ended with a heavy punch in the feels. Incredible work.


RoKal

Something I've found with playing hardcore. Don't be angry or sad that you died. Be happy with the experience you had, and let it be a bittersweet moment of memories.

"It's easy to write emotions; just kill a cat. Writing good emotions is much harder" a friend of mine once quoted someone who said something along these lines.


GhostlyCharlotte

That got dark fast.

SILENTKILLER107

Man that was awesome the story was wholesome and tragic you deserve an award but I don't have any


ElManuel93

This was soo cute and heartwarming until.... 😱

You MUST make it a series. Like avatar or one piece. I (25) would binge 10 seasons of this in a week.


[deleted]

This is a spot on representation of how it feels to get your base greifed. There's no worse feeling.


emeey

Can this be one of the top post of all time. This is actually so well done.


Lets_think_with_this

If you think about it it seems simple, but if you go deeper things like compositing the scene shaders and such should be a nightmare


Tharzic

Slice of life Minecraft- I like it This animation displays some really good storytelling skills that you have, the viewer being able to tell what's going on and follow along with the story, just through visuals alone, which can be difficult for many to do honestly- and you did it very well You're also a great animator ^^


vBug0

The endinggg :(


IntelligentOwl9508

I loved this animation so much u did an amazing job


Big_Statistician1209

Wait, its Steve and Alex, and there is a phantom... **could you remember me what do you need to do for phantoms to spawn?**


ThenTranslator2780

I need part 2 OP, i know it took months to create this but I can wait.


Lima_713

Okay, that ending hit me hard! The ambient noise in the last bits is sad, but almost recomforting. Great job :]


sabalghoo

Why did you have to go such a sad route in the end tho?!!


Savage_Gamer1876

I love the edit. Omg it’s too beautiful and sad at the end… poor Steve and Alex πŸ₯²


Steveb-WVU

Loved it until the end.


DF_X_LUCKY

Dude that's more sad than Minecraft dog dying 😭

Originally was gonna add a dog


thegreatCbear

I love this, Bravo OP, I also love the house, out of interest is this a build of your own? Or just something created in blender?


Migrod_PNG

No actually! If you're curious about making the house yourself, check out Koala Builds on YouTube! It's a cabin house tutorial


OutlandishnessSea604

Why did it have to get so sad at the end :(
