The boogyman mechanic was such a genius addition to last life. It creates perfect opportunities for drama, and a good basis for so much headcanon lore.

[@ElementofKindness]

Not to mention, it forced the season to play out to reach an end. It's no small task getting that many people from all around the world to record simultaneously, so they knew they needed a means to keep the season relatively short.

I love how well the song pairs up so well with the animation. For example, in 1:41, the scene depicts Smallishbeans running away from LDShadowLady-who he killed-while the lyrics were “Won’t you stay with me, my Darling,”. This is ironic as he’s running away from his wife while the music is stating the opposite; someone staying beside their beloved. Thank you for reading my Ted Talk.

Hello the animation wizard man

[@Smitology]

Episode 6 is so chaotic. There were 6 boogeymen, and like 7 people decided to group together for a "stack kill", of which three were boogeymen. One boogeyman kills another boogeyman, then a third kills that boogeyman, then the first boogeyman who is now red is given a life and immediately kills the person who gave them the life. Then the fourth boogeyman tries to kill a target but is blown up instead, then returns, kills that target. That target's own trap kills the fifth boogeyman, whose trap then kills that target a second time. Also a sixth boogeyman got a kill and another non-boogeyman drowned because they forgot to press the swim key up a water column.

Can I just bring to light a scene that I think deserves way more attention then it got? 2:02 with Inthelittewoods blowing up both Bdubs and Tango was absolutely well executed, and perfectly timed as the song quite literally goes “The devils after both of us.” My favorite scene.

[@silverfrost1578]

Actually, I think that Bdubs’ death was because of Pearl. If I’m remembering right, then she was originally the boogieman before something happened that made her unable to play for the day, so Martyn (or however you spell his name) became the boogieman. However, Pearl had laid out that trap before she was forced off, so maybe it was still her kill? Idk, lol.

Okay all Comments are amazing but I saw NO ONE pointing out this amazing song lyrics and animation and lore combo. 01:46 "When this house don't feel like home?" is the lyrics and we see Scott chasing Impulse and getting the kill. See this direct quote from Brittanica dictionary: House refers to a building in which someone lives. In contrast, a home can refer either to a building or to any location that a person thinks of as the place where she lives and that belongs to her. Or in other words House is just the building but Home is where someone belongs, lives and most importantly *_Feels safe_* . And Impulse escapes to his base a.k.a. to his house after escaping from Scott's first boogey attack. But he gets attacked (or rather pushed down) in his base. His base a.k.a. his house wasn't safe... *_His house.. Wasn't home..._* Thank you for coming to my TED talk

My favorite detail is Ren’s ears laying down at 2:09. Animals like dogs and cats that have ears standing up usually fold them down like that when they are scared and angry, and blending the fear and anger Ren felt in that moment is so subtle and probably not even intentional, but I love it

[@cwoude1054]

One of the greatest things about this is that the song matches with it so well as well as pefectly timed. For example, when Big B killed Cleo the song said "Won't you stay with me my darling." the same when Lizzie died and when Skiz was falling down to Ren's trap it said "down, down, down".

THAT WAS SO SICK!!! First off, I LOVE how smooth the animations are. As always, it’s absolute chef’s kiss! The entire Lizzie comic going up in flames?? Truly gorgeous. Just stunning! The Etho animation with Scar was totally brutal, my dude, but his kill on Mumbo though??? That axe??? Bruh, Etho popped off. I think all of Team BEST’s moments here might be some of my favorite scenes you did because holy shit!!! That Skizz animation with the fall??? THAT WAS JUST SO COOL!!! I fucking love Skizz, but that was just so lovely??? Everything about it’s just top tier! THE REN AND MARTYN MOMENT!! WE LOVE OUR WHOLESOME DOGWARTS. IT’S SO CUTE AND I LOVE THAT SCENE, BUT SEEN IT ANIMATED WITH MARTYN POP UP AND IT’S JUST AHDKAKFG THEY MAKE ME SOFT. THANK YOU, CHRIS, FOR INCLUDING THAT. Back to the brutal moments, Martyn’s cart push??? The Tango rage??? Mumbo lurking during the big meetup before the potion goes down?!! Just AAAAAAAA!! There’s so much I just love about this and I’m probably gonna be watching this a dozen times over. Thank you for just! THIS. THIS LOVELY BEAUTY. AND IT’S ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS AND I’M JUST AHSJAKDFG You’re wonderful and your animations have once again just made me the happiest being! (Sorry for the rambles btw!)

[@sparrowsocks]

This was so beautifully animated and it’s so clear how much effort and time went into this!! I don’t have the words this was just amazing!!!!!

[@qasem90]

1:40 is just heartbreaking to see and funny with the timing of the song at the same time

[@Vivat_Veritas]

This is incredible, I can't believe I'm only seeing this now! My girlfriend introduced me to Last Life, and I'm so glad she did because I loved it almost as much as I love this animatic!! Amazing work!

[@LoopDeLuuke]

This was the animation that got me go watch the life series, I had no idea what any of those people were I now, re-watching it I was able to recognize everyone. Life has become one of my favorites, so thank you for this incredible animation

[@moonsmien]

As usual, YOU HAVE DELIVERED! Oh my god, each scene just exhibited so much emotion that it felt like I was reliving the time when I watched the actual things unfold. Also I can't thank you enough because this just portrayed perfectly how each scenario went in my head; the drama, the betrayal, and my personal favorite, the anger so amazingly presented during Tango's part. It's just, you can feel in those few seconds how much rage and hurt coursed through him. UGH I love it, I love everything!!

[@hermitcraftseasons]

I love the way this takes a series that was fun and friendly and turns it into a dark and disturbing idea. The idea alone of a curse is extraordinary.

[@KeganLeavess]

YOU NEVER MISS! You never miss the mark, and this is more proof! The fact it's all colored adds a whole other level to the events, especially with the emphasis on the colors of the lives. The transitions from the colors jumping to each other, like Scott's floating things, works incredibly well! And even when the scenes are changing, the action flows so well, like that Scott and Impulse scuffle was so clear to see even in the rapid motion of it all. The perspectives too! Martyn pushing the TNT minecart and leaping over the edge to save Ren were AMAZING shots, and you can see the movement present with just a few frames alone. The boogeyman curse being shown as a little firelight, swooping from player to player, turning their eyes red, was a fantastic way to show who the killer was, quick and easy to understand! It felt like it was flowing from scene to scene too, as if it's leaving a trail of death behind it no matter where it goes. I'm such a huge fan of how minecraft deaths are portrayed, and the way you depicted the boogeyman kills was just. Yes. These are exactly how you could picture them within the moment, they're solid and brutal, and get the point across. Even with the kills, the shots still switch it up, from front, to back, to the side, it's not just one visible angle for all of them, and they all feel so dynamic. This was even more incredible than I thought it would be! You've really outdone yourself this time!

[@elliothellyer933]

I love watching different creators takes on the series! This one focuses on the boogeyman, while others focus on alliances or betrayals or deaths. Very nice work and perfect song for the video

[@PandamanOwen]

It's so funny that these animations always depict etho being the boogeyman as a serious deadly killer when in reality he just yells "IT WAS ME I'M THE BOOGEY"

[@motherloaf9795]

The eyes at the end man. My lore heart can’t take much more of this today. And the day just started ( I mean that literally it’s 1:26 AM the day just started)

[@Xianthus]

It’s such a small detail that I’m only noticing now after watching this at least fifteen times, but I love how in the segment where Bigb and Tango both die, there’s a little crescent moon on the back of the chest that blew Bigb up, to signify that it was Pearl’s trap and boogieman kill… it’s only on screen for like a second or two but wow I love the attention to detail!

[@shiniest.Star..]

The part where bigb pulled her body out the water broke my heart all over again. This animation is gorgeous

[@aidanhammans9337]

I’m surprised just how much art and music there is for the “Life” series. I guess it’s style of improvised stories through the rules of betrayal appeals to people

[@Logan-tinyplanetss]

ive watched this animatic at least a dozen times already its just so incredibly good. the song is one of my favorites already, but so many of these moments are summed up yet so intense and not skipped over at all. bigb killing cleo and tangos rage are two of my absolute favorites in here, theyre SO intense and so so good

[@ironreaversoulstealer]

I love how just happy and full of smiles Jimmy is as Lizzie is burning in lava, as if nothing was happening at 1:57

[@familytablet6453]

A FELLOW WOF FAN!!! I see I am not alone.

[@jetho9859]

Where did Wings of Fire get brought up in this?

[@doodle_bear291]

AAAH THIS IS SO GOOD! It's all so smooth and clean!! I don't know if I've seen this much MOVEMENT in one of these before! I think (for me) my favorite part was the Skizz and Ren scene. When Ren's glasses- and then Skizz was gone. That was my experience and it was PERFECT. Then the heart thing right after! AAH it was perfect. Can't give you enough credit my guy this is gorgeous

[@caelness]

This is absolutely gorgeous Chris, well done!

[@cevichegrace]

Mumbo's crystals are so,,, fluid. The concept of putting an end crystal down can feel clunky, but your animation makes it as smooth as mumbo manages to do it. Amazing.

[@thesoap_fan]

cant believe its been 2 years since this animation. its been pretty much 2 years since my hyperfixation on third life aswell and i still cannot get over it, you somehow manage to make me experience the series all over again and make me wanna go binge everyones POVs lol xD

[@crunch5]

This was amazing!! I loved how the boogeyman curse was displayed, and the deaths, it was great! I loved the way the lyrics fit so well, especially when BigB killed Cleo. I also adored how the purple eyes appeared during Scott’s death. Since it was a watcher kill, as Grian did the /kill, and he’s kinda a watcher

[@macoud12]

That last thing I noted as such in my log of events on the server. Instead of giving the credit to Grian, I instead set the credit to "Watcher 3", a little callback to EVO.

[@snapp_art6024]

THIS IS SO STUNNING!! the framing of each scene looks absolutely incredible!!!!!

[@Maltodextreen]

This is insane, I've probably watched this like 20 times now, It's just so pretty and I'm a sucker for The Crane Wives. Incredible, Breathtaking, Brilliant

[@lastedlife]

This animation really sums up how brutal last life was. Death murder and betrayal, that’s most of what was there and that’s what the animation shows. Amazing job

[@zacaryhellings9507]

Still a year later it’s still my favourite life animation and I still love how the curse it like it’s own thing that wanders the servers to find its next host and the way you animated it is soo good and how their eyes get filled with the look of evil it’s just soo good

[@redwings13400]

Love the art. Incredible depictions of all the boogie kills, just gets through and conveys so many moments so perfectly!

[@neroemerald5296]

I love how the way the boogey man is chosen is just some kind of mist that just gives a sudden intent to kill

[@zomeister9191]

I love how at 2:02 the TNT Minecraft is actually like dynamite because it’s animated like real dynamite and how it kinda sizzles and stuff before it explodes. edit: its called a FUSE

[@mysterymayh3m]

i come back to this all the time. the best life series animation to me tbh

[@coolgelliegamer9825]

Im just gonna say it, this is THE last life animation. You talk about the last life animation and i will immediately think of this one. First one pops to mind this one.

[@Heidijackward]

1:35 he mad

[@MichuTalks]

Which episode is this scene from?

[@ebon6635]

​@@MichuTalks its tango ep5 but everyone elses ep 6

[@soup2636]

THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER!! The animation is so smooth and the transitions are just so nicely done MAN I can't stop rewatching it :((

[@SparrowHawkk]

OH MY GOODNESS. This was absolutely brilliant!! The composition, timing with the music, the moments you chose, the colors!!! And the way you portrayed the boogeyman curse was so clever!!!

[@dwatys1ace]

OMG, THE LYRICS MATCH SO WELL - "Every word i say it's kindling" for Lizzie's boogey kill because she lied to pearl and scott - "Won't you stay with me, my darling", both on the most heartbreaking betrayals?!! - "Down, Down, Down", and the footage of Skizz falling down, down down xD - "The Devil's after both of us" - both Tango and BigB are seen blowing up! INSANE ANIMATION, I'M IN LOVE

[@user-ue5vu4sq9q]

I love how you have the red spirit, cursing the players, as though its the essence of the boogeyman

[@vistaellison2643]

I quite like the way the boogieman curse is almost sentient in this

[@mossymeep]

This animatic was so AHAmazing!! You’re so talented!!

[@vX-ter_]

This is some of the smoothest animation I've seen on KZbin, and it's fully coloured so you get extra points!

[@UnknownRustt]

Hey! Just came here from the Ottawa crane wives show, and they (indirectly) shouted out this animation :D

[@kellyphillips7545]

BRO THIS IS SO GOOD YOU MADE THEM LOOK SO GOOD AND LIKE PSYCHOTIC AND OUT FOR BLOOD AND I LOVE IT
