Before & After VFX of "Unknown Waters" Subnautica fan film

[@zelto3595]

This is so amazing and incredible, the animations were so beautiful, the Aurora, the lifepods, and even the peeper's animation was amazing, I can't imagine how much time it took to make this, very awesome

[@ironicanimations]

God, I love the beginning with the checkers game, it actually sounded like real brothers playing and laughing Naturally 💙 impressive

[@DigitalDave]

Thanks! It’s coz we are

[@GGLol19]

Gotta love how you had the nerf gun loaded with a bullet, could see you firing it haha! It's incredible to see everything was done in your home(?) and then with a lot of dedicated work and animation, changed into quite a memorable fanfilm. Hoped to see others being inspired to make more subnautica fanfilms. Very good job on this, mate.

[@DigitalDave]

thank you so much for the feedback mate! yeah shot the nerf gun as it helped me act more realistically. Super hard imagining all this stuff in your head.

[@GGLol19]

@@DigitalDave Aye, superb work on the models though. The large fish in the end, it reminds me a bit of a bone shark but is there any specific reference of it? Also, looking forward for Subnautica Below Zero as well then ay?

[@galaxynova9276]

this is very underrated indeed :D

[@christophechattou8159]

Wow, despite low subcount, amazing mic and video quality I dont even know why im surprised, the film was good quality

[@DigitalDave]

cheers!

[@kendingus]

First off: I was genuinely wondering how you did the swimming and... Really everything else where you're interacting with stuff that clearly isn't a prop. Second off: You called the planet "53B" but in the game it's called "4546B" so I just wanna know... Why?

[@DigitalDave]

Thanks for the feedback, just thought I'd put my own unique spin on it :)

[@ian7019]

Kendolah cuz copy right

[@simplereport3179]

@@ian7019 I don't really think so. I mean, they provided some stuff to him and the creature looking very similar. Fan-movies and Fan-arts are indeed a little bit tricky because of the copyright, but when you call it a fan film, the publisher is happy because its free advertising for his product. As long as it is not harming the brand and wich real fan does wants to harm the game he love?

[@donaldtrompa8723]

Copyright?

[@thediamondkneeplate6981]

Same

[@theholypeanut8193]

The film was inspired by the degasi because of the ill health line and how it looked. Great film. One of the best short films ive ever watched.

[@DigitalDave]

Thanks a lot!

[@Damlistky9-9]

Waw really cool, i was wondering how it's looks like when you were standing on life pod and now i know it, the best video i have ever seen👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 great work and i hope it will be next part of it

[@shadowproductions969]

Saw this and thought I'd check it out. Was surprised by the thin cloth greenscreen that you could get a good clean key like that. I have one pretty similar to that 15x20 I think mine is. So my question is, what camera did you use? Seems like a 4:4:4 camera would make keying a LOT easier.. the quality is pretty great visually and given what you had, this turned out great.

[@DigitalDave]

I shoot with a sony a6300, it was a dodgy key 99% of the time so I had to manually roto out most of the tracking markers and light bleeds :(

[@justafrostysilver1037]

does anyone else see at 1:44 his head clipped through the chair?

[@lilyjade1080]

Wait a second. What happened to his brothers life pod? How did his stay afloat but his brothers managed the fit through the crevices and sink without just staying above waters ?

[@mosqit4324]

Something broke it

[@Frosti800]

Wow.

[@copperhead5858]

what model was the "shark"

[@manalyious]

If you recognised the sounds fro the game you'll know what the shark was suppose to be
