[ Brother ] Hermitcraft Animatic [ Snapshot AU Part 10.5 ]

Hey y'all! This is part 10.5 in a series! I highly recommend watching the previous parts before watching this one!
You can find the playlist of all current parts here: • Snapshot AU
First off! Characters belong to their respective owners!
Second! The song was written and performed by yours truly, and all the art (EXCEPT FOR THE POSTERS AT THE VERY BEGINNING) was drawn by me too!
This part took so hecking long oh my gosh. I used so many canvases and frames bruhh
It was totally worth it though, because it looks even better than Part 10
It's kinda sad, because:
1. I KNOW youtube will absolutely obliterate the quality and
2. The frames I spent the longest on were probably the 7 in the beginning that go to the beat and appear for a fraction of a second each
I've had the song written since I think BEFORE I finished Part 10, but then I finished the actual recording and such of the song in mid-April. I started the actual animatic in early-to-mid-July, and now it's finally done, in mid-August. (To be fair, I was quite busy this summer and had other things I was working on too)
I hope you enjoy! I am so so so sorry if KZbin makes it impossible to read any galactic :pensive:
Program used:
Bandlab (to record and do all the music stuff)
Procreate (using the animation assist feature)
Windows Movie Maker (to sync all the frames)

Once again, thank you guys all for your support and patience! I already have the song picked out for Part 11, and I already know it's gonna be a toughie to storyboard and will take quite a while to make an animatic of, but hopefully it will be worth it! I'm also working on projects for my Featherweight AU and my Dadskall AU! It may take me longer to get content out since I just started my senior year, and I'm pretty sure I'll have a decent workload, but I'll try to work on my videos as often as I can!
Ily! (:

@@taytaythehufflepuff8532 I'll be honest, knowing Galactic pretty much off by heart helped me a lot ^^;

[@avacollinsworth9204]

Eeee it's so good. And it also reinforcesmy belief that the moment NPG snapped Xisuma into the closet was the moment he signed his death warrant. Is it just me or is the best part finally getting a picture of Xisumas and Alex's bio parents

[@personb5561]

Is Alex xisuma's IRL brother or in game brother?

[@moonspirit525]

Alex is evil xisuma it's just a name he was given instead of being called ex or evil xisuma

[@annbreyfogle9212]

@@personb5561 Ex is a character made by Xisuma, as an evil version of himself, Fanfic writers often make them brothers for more angst potential, and Alex is just the name that Siren made up for him, he's not a real person, just a character

[@taytaythehufflepuff8532]

Even if KZbin “ruined” this, it’s still a masterpiece-I love it so much- First of all, that first frame of just background makes me happy. I’ve fallen in love with drawing backgrounds, and seeing that one makes me happy. The detailing that you put in one frame is just amazing. And to go along with it, I like the sound effects you put into your singing. I love the idea that X and Alex really aren’t fully against each other-but instead you make an angsty storyline of them growing apart. “I’m not on my own, but I feel so alone” THE FEELS. And the drawing of Scar and Grian in the back is just so good- I never mentioned or realized it until rewatching part 10, but I love where X gives Grian the Doom Guy suit… just fully entrusting him to help save them. And the EMOTIONS you put into expressions-it’s gorgeous! And it brings to life the scenes, making it feel like you’re watching a movie. And you can feel the amount of pressure on X to save them. And how HARD it is to call on Alex to help. Also: IS THAT A FRAME OF STEVE AND ALEX I SEEEEEE? YOU DIDN’T- BUT ALSO LIL’ ALEX AND XISUMA ARE SO CUTE- I CAN’T- AND THEN THAT FRAME AFTERWARD THEY’RE JUST GONE. The storytelling in such few frames, that you can only see if you pause it-it’s something, but it makes a lot of since knowing FW. At least, I’m assuming there’s a similar storyline for them in both AUs. And then that frame where they’re both turned away from each other-JUST HOW DO YOU DRAW SOMETHING SO EMOTION FILLED?!?! And I love the music (whatever instrument it is) that’s playing octaves lower. It makes it feel so intense, really showing the weight of their story. “But I’m willing to look past it if only you do to.” That LINE. I FEEL THAT. As someone who has hurt a best friend in the past, it took forever to forgive myself and when I did, I still felt there was tension if it got brought up again, and I felt bad. So yeah-I used to be kinda angsty myself. And the “please do” over and over… really just sinks that whole line in. ON TOP OF THAT, once again-the EXPRESSIONS. It just-everything really comes together in a masterpiece. And the fact that there’s a line mentioning “basically I won’t be a bother anymore, but I need your help one more time” that repeats itself- And then then it goes back in time-and the fact that you sing an older and a younger sounding way over the regular melody-it sounds so good! And your harmonies! Surprisingly, not everyone who’s good at singing knows harmony, but you do it really well. And you’re breaking me with lil’ X basically crying-like please-have mercy on my heart. And then it comes in with present day X who feels no different than he did then. All these years still keeping the same mindset. But the fact that it’s GENUINE. It’s not some “hey, bro, I need your help, so I’ll pretend to be sorry until you’re gone again”. Like, this is real brokenness, and I FEEL it. Back to talking about drawing-the nether portal is so PRETTY! (Also gotta mention the cave background-loved that too!) And you draw hands so so well! And the lighting all over the place! How do you do it? You confuse me with your talent! Ok: once again, back to storyline talk. The spoken bit is so good! And the fact that you used your British accent for it! Perfect touch and it made me happy. But really, as far as it goes, that part has to be one of the most powerful parts before the climax. And the whole “you are my brother and I’ll never forget you again” is just-ahhhh-he’s ready to take accountability for his actions and SHOW his faults even in his position where he wants to be right, and he’s taking NOTICE of Alex. But even after all that, he doesn’t believe it’s possible for Alex to forgive him and help. BUT THEN HE WALKS OUT OF THE PORTAL. AND JUST- “You look surprised. What are you waiting for? Don’t we have a demon to take down?” And just that smile- Like-that ending-ahhhh-I only really get emotional internally unless I make noises or talk really loudly… but I tell you, even if I’m not yelling at a character for being an idiot, or sobbing, I’m still hurt but very very happy with that ending. And just the flow of that hug. I really love hurt-comfort if you couldn’t tell. Sam, you’ve done it again. You’ve made something great and you’ve given us all the feels. Now I gotta figure out how to recover… maybe show this to a few people and write some more fanfiction… I just have to hope that will help. And seriously, take as much time as you need on these. Your hard work pays off and none of us want you to push yourself too far for thinking that we won’t like it otherwise. Don’t push it to be perfect, or push it to get it out “on time”. We’re patient people and we’re ok with “mistakes” ‘cause most (if not all) of us can’t do this good.

[@mehpainter]

I agree, this is an absolute masterpiece

[@thatSweetTea]

[@taytaythehufflepuff8532]

@@thatSweetTea I couldn’t have done this without playing frame by frame/meter by meter the video (or sometimes just every few seconds) on my computer while typing it out somewhere else. But yeah, I may have spent far too much time fangirling, but I LOVE it when someone does a good job with character personality and overall storyline…. Well, I love it when someone writes/create good angst, which is basically what this is. Glad I could sum up your feelings too! Words are hard. Gets easier the more you write, but still hard.

[@thatSweetTea]

anytime spent fangirling is not time wasted, and honestly this series has gotten so packed full of easter eggs and tiny details that it just gets better when you take in the small details :DD hecc, i’m still freaking out rn i’m probably going to go do the same thing there’s still galactic to be translated after all XD

WOOOO! LET’S GOOO! The thumbnail already looks amazing! Like the shading and the lighting. It’s just perfection. AAAAAAA- I CAN’T WAIT! It also realized how much you improved.

You are now the boss of shading and lighting and I stand by that statement.

Alex got a _gun._ I swear I saw Minecraft Alex and Steve, I'm gonna have to go back to see that. This made me cry. But there were _so many_ different emotions there.

This whole piece is amazing, but 0:48 to 0:50 stood out to me as saying a lot in very little time. (Seriously, I had to go to 0:46 and set it to 0.25x playback speed! Siren, you're doing amazingly and continue to inspire me to work harder on my own storytelling/animating/singing/songwriting :)

[@nyliccart]

I want to cry and smile at the same time woahahjsdfaskldjfhlk I can't process this it's too good aaaaa

[@T-mo11.]

Evil X has a flipped GUN

[@soulwolf9489]

[@braethebrave1569]

Eek, love it! Your songwriting skills (I assume you wrote the song?) are getting more and more advanced! Keep it up!

[@DoctorSiren]

:DD (yeye I wrote the song!)

[@notsoanonymous_rickroller6777]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH oH mY gOd- wHy MuSt I hAvE ScHoOl ToMoRrOw!?!?! I can’t wait for this to come out!

[@Sylphs316]

[@T-mo11.]

[@RiNe7279]

[@wintern8634]

YOOOO THIS IS GONNA BE SO GOOD!

[@sleepdeprivedstudios8002]

im screaming and its five in the morning and i- _help_ dear god the feels just keep on coming huh

[@KittenFish756]

The care you put in the backgrounds for this video, telling its own story, just beautiful Also the whole song is so well done! The singing, the instrumentation, everything!

[@Gremlin.lemonbee]

Hhhhhhhhh Siren this is so good!!! This animatic is so wholesome in some frames

[@benedictorlich1578]

The FW Gaming area (I think) :). Alex and Steve biological parents! Alex (EX, not parent) losing his wings when Doomguy dies/disappears. The continuity of Xisuma's inventory: the red jumper (Could be Grian's, could be a memento of Alex), reporter Xisuma hat and notebook, HELMET (Touch Tone Telephone!), potato/cookie as food (?), and FW Admin Cape. I don't understand the red ribbon, golden heart pendant and unknown painting/picture (could be a map). Also clearing his hotbar for battle (hint for next part, or coincidence?). Does the family picture being on the left while everything else is on the right mean anything. They say that the Devil's in the details, and you get them spot on. Furthermore, the animation quality blew me away. Well done, I could never imagine doing anything remotely as good as this video :D.

[@ConConSmith]

I can't wait! even looking at the thumbnail gets me so hyped! Snapshot AU is my by far favorite animatic series. Keep up the great work Siren!

[@thatSweetTea]

THE VOIS!! EEEEEEEEEEEE THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY BUT ALSO SO SCARED ABOUT WHATS GONNA HAPPEN NEXT GDKSHSK it’s also perfect, i am so excited you took your time on this one because it turned out amazing, worth every second now excuse me i have to go draw this hdjshsh AAAAAAAH OK THATS IT I CANT SCREAM ANYMORE DFTBA XD

WE LOVE!! hdkshsj like three seconds of scenes and you told their whole life story and it is gut wrenching oh my goodness- i didn’t even notice it in the first couple passes but when you slow it down, the younger X and Alex walk away from each other and the camera spins onto them grown up and it is such an incredible little detail i adore this-

[@dinolover8183]

Imma just *screams* OMG THAT WAS GREAT I LOVED IT JUST AAAAAAAAAAA I AM VIBRATING FROM HAPPINESS I DONT KNOW WHAT TO SAY IT WAS SO GOOD *SCREECHES*

[@Ezzieeee24]

This is sooooo amazing! I absolutely adore your artstyle and the song is Incredible too! I was actually thinking about modeling the hermits in the Xisuma-armor like they are operators in a shooter-game or something like that (realistic at least) to practice, but I think with Alex added into the mix I’m sold on that idea

[@flipnoteriversongtherper4977]

OH MY GOSH I loved that so much. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa That like, tickled the lizard in control of my mind I have SO MUCH SEROTONIN RIGHT NOW OH MY GOD My lizard brain is pleased with this. So much serotonin. I have all the endorphins! All the happy. The animation was beautiful. EX IS BEAUTIFUL. X IS BEAUTIFUL. *dying of happy sounds. *

[@valedragonspeak9004]

THAT IS TOO. FLIPPING. CUTE. I decided to binge watch Snapshot again (what is this, like, the third time? lol) at like 4 am and it is now like 5:15 and it was goddamn worth it because your animatics are *magical* I swear. Not to mention your singing voice. 10000/10.

[@lizthanthree5072]

AAA I CANT WAIT !!

[@Purebeans]

Ayo! It’s happening! Honestly how would I not have this! I’m gonna write two aus by -CATHY-! Scarlet AU takes place in Season 8, which Grian, Pearl, Scar and Impulse turn insane by the boat-em pole. Mumbo sees this and runs to Doc and Ren. Chaos AU is about chaos emerging from Grian during the mycelium war, while bits of his power and past is shown. In the au he is a watcher. Both are great and I suggest going to CATHY. She gave me this idea. And I’m also inspired by your au, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have been inspired to do animatics myself! (Though i still haven’t done one yet)

[@HermitFanimations]

I'm not Siren, but wow, that's so creative! I'm happy you're inspired, and hope you'll follow your dream to create works of beauty :D

[@Purebeans]

Ty!

[@HermitFanimations]

@@Purebeans It's my pleasure!

[@Eztli__Void]

EXY POG but in all seriousness, this is awesome

[@st-laurent-lapregabriel2882]

I didnt at first understood who was the other white hair guy but with time I understood a bit x). Your work is amazing keep it up

[@etunpeudevitriol]

Yooo so ok, X and Ex are Steve and Alex's children (and Ex was named after their mother), then when their parents died/disappeared they got adopted by Doomguy? Who died/disappeared at some point too. Love these headcanons!

[@DoctorSiren]

Yeye Doomguy was killed, and that’s really what split Alex and Xisuma apart

[@JustAPileOfMaggots]
