Hello all,

I plan to post my SFM short animations here. Thanks for watching, and let me know if you have any feedback! I would like to improve my animation skills.

I agree. The sound is low, but the quality is high! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, the sound is pretty low, but that shouldn't happen in future movies.

I want to see the movie now, which means you've done a superb job, sonosublime. There's not much else for me to say. Really.

Thanks for your kind comments, Super Luigi! I don't have any immediate plans to make a FNAF movie, but it is something I may explore in the future.

"I want to see the movie now" was just a figure of speech. I meant you've done that great of a job. Nevertheless, keep succeeding greatly!

A recreation of a scene from Naughty Dog's 'The Last of Us', a survival horror game on the PS3/4.

Nice job with that latest short, Sono. The Last of Us is a masterpiece, and you've done well to capture the essence of such richly developed characters, environments and events.

How long did it take to model and texture Joel and Ellie? I'd love to hear a bit of the creative process.

Thanks for the kind words, Qyzbud. 'The Last of Us' certainly is amazing. My favourite zombie game alongside 'Left 4 Dead'. I have a couple more scenes from the game in mind that I eventually plan to do.

The set was actually fairly easy to make: take a city map and load it with props: car wrecks, tall grass and vegetation.

I actually did not make the models (I'm good with modelling inanimate objects, but not organic ones).

The actual movie took 4-5 days to make, including animating, lighting and camera positioning.

Although I won't buy the game, your animations make me want to. Well done, sonosublime. All I can say is you've done a great job here with your plentiful talent.

Thanks, I appreciate the kinds words. I do agree that Interstellar does get a bit trippy at the end, but you can make sense of it by paying close attention to the dialogue.

I meant more of after the scene when...
Major spoiler warning!!!
Spoiler!
he went into the black hole. I liked the whole scene with him becoming "them", but after the flash of light when the place collapsed, the movie should have ended. I think that him returning was a really horrible way to end the movie. I think that an open ending like that would have made the movie more symbolic of the idea that they are not in control of their surroundings.

Spoiler!
I do kind of agree with you there. But the scene with old Murph was very tear jerking. Gah, I really want a sequel, but don't want one at the same time.
