[@ParkadeParade]

this is fucking fantastic oh my god. the composotion of the shots, the pacing, the expressions, its all spot on, this is super underrated

[@BeyondSkies]

thank you!! i always put a lot of effort into coming up with visually interesting shot compositions so i’m glad it doesn’t go unnoticed!

[@moffie-moff5044]

A nitw animatic?!??!? In 2023?!!??! I’ve been blessed,,,,,

[@LalaKathleen]

IM GOING TO START CRYING ive been hyperfixated on this game for months and there’s so little new content but a WHOLE ANIMATIC ??? watching this made me feel like i was playing the game again, the style is amazing, fantastic job 10/10 will watch again

[@BeyondSkies]

this animatic was made for viewers like you 👍 but seriously thank you im in the same spot as you lol, i wanted to put as much love and care into this as possible cuz of how important this game is for me!

[@sho829]

It's a shame really. The only new official content is a physical version of the game with a limited edition version and that's it

[@ledgamergirl]

@@sho829I mean, the creator died so there may never be new content..

[@sho829]

@@ledgamergirl like i said there technically WAS new content. It was just physical media in the form of a special edition for the physical release with music cds and acrylic stands

[@sho829]

@@ledgamergirl still I do hope the devs realize the desire for a new game and not that weird game that got canned

[@Augustish]

Thank you for making this animatic. It warms my soul that someone is enlivening the fandom with their creativity too, really, thank you very much, nightmare-eyed friend.

[@BeyondSkies]

wow, thank you for this lovely comment nightmare-eyed friend!

[@regi5436]

the song pick was absolutely perfect. i cant imagine any other song to fit so well with this work. you are extremely underlooked and you deserve so much more praise for this. great job!!!

[@BeyondSkies]

thank you! ive wanted to make something with it for a while and once i replayed nitw i knew it was the perfect choice

[@abbym5823]

Holy SHIT… this took my breath away. You should be so proud of this. I can’t say anything that others haven’t already said but maaan. The emotion, the pacing, the tension. Incredible. Thank you for making this. ❤

[@BeyondSkies]

wow, thank you so much! i am very proud of it and every time someone leaves a nice comment my ego grows stronger

[@stormofdogz]

AAAHHH THIS IS SOO GOOD AND SUCH A GOOD SONG CHOICE TOO... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ANIMATIC THE STORYTELLING IS AMAZING!!

[@BeyondSkies]

OMG THANK YOU!! THATS SO NICE!!

[@snowysmelody6649]

This song fits so well, love this and this game so much

[@BeyondSkies]

thank you! after listening to it so much while making this i wasn’t sure if it actually fit lol

[@gladeseason3462]

Also I’m crying the Mae at 3:24 calling down the well… her little face so cute

[@errorcringyname4044]

Genuinly one of my favorite works I think I've seen.

[@BeyondSkies]

thank you!

[@Phattyspitz]

God this game fucking changed me, like it rlly effected my outlook on life and this song fits it so well. The overall just questioning of everything ever is so rgahhhh this shit goes crazy dude

[@theflamingphoenix]

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!! I love it's paced, and the song is a really good fit! Although, I'm gonna have to sue you for the emotional damage you caused when you started this off with Mae's granddad's funeral. Seriously though, this is great! Thank you for making it!

[@BeyondSkies]

i knew what i was getting into when i made this, ill have my lawyers contact yours

[@theflamingphoenix]

*I love HOW it's paced. Don't know how I missed that.

[@gillesradwan]

I get intensely cold chills at how you timed and framed Greg's crossbow scene. Those scrappy kids looking and acting like Mae's personal pantheon. Beautiful. Powerful. Thank you for this.

[@BeyondSkies]

i love how you worded this thank you

[@caligulasAquarius]

shivvers im literally shook

[@meh4019]

Can't believe I've been a NITW fan for ages now and the algorithm blessed me with this recommendation only now. This is a masterpiece it fits the game and Mae's thought process perfectly, and the animatic is beautiful. NITW is such a surreal game at times that's hard to grasp, tackling feelings that are difficult both to explain and to show, but you nailed it, so feel proud of yourself 👍

[@BeyondSkies]

thank you!! i felt very connected to the game during the making of this video, i was dealing with mental health issues similar to Mae’s at the time of playing so i really understood how she felt. i am very proud with how it turned out :)

[@fern__theplant]

AAAA NITW PLUS A SONG I USED TO LISTEN TO WHEN I WAS LITTLE????? AUGHGHGHH ITS PERFECT ILY

[@atlasgoblin]

Im a year late but i bave watched this nearly daily, consistently, atleast oncr a day every day and i will continue to do so because it takes so much fof me to not and this animation is literally perfect. You so well captured what this game has with an animatic, and hitting even further home with using the blakc goat, forest god, and "god" you literally did everything right with this. i love it so much

[@BeyondSkies]

thank you very much! i put a lot of heart into this animatic, night in the woods is a very important game to me.

[@atlasgoblin]

@@BeyondSkies The amount of heart you put into this shows, and is very evident in how many small details you put into it - its amazing honestly

[@Psychic_Violence]

AMAZING!!! Thank you so much for making this animatic. As others have pointed out, the song choice is perfect and also your expression work really conveys the feelings of the characters really well!!

[@BeyondSkies]

thank you!!! i’m always trying to practice expressions i think they are very important :D

[@FoilSSick]

this deserves so much more recognition

[@onettaviator5396]

My *GOD* this is such a good summary of the game

[@vodago]

I am so pissed I never found this sooner! I've been a diehard NITW fan since it came out. Atleast youtube finally showed me this.

[@BUGFlower413]

i love how fitting the song's lyrics are, and the way you captured perfectly the NitW artstyle with every scene and their compositions, all about this is perfect!! ^u^ ^u^

[@softcryz]

OHH IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE IVE SEEN NITW CONTENT!! IM SO HAPPY I GOT THIS IN MY RECOMMENDED THIS IS STUNNING AND SO WELL DONE!!

[@BeyondSkies]

I only leave a comment on youtube once every blue moon or something, but i just HAD to leave a comment about this. So well made! The song fits so well and i can imagine it took such a long time to draw every single one of these panels. Just so great, really made me wanna play the game again, really well done.

I love your abstraction used when it's needed!!!!

[@Scrabber598]

Such an amazing music video and it fits Night in the Woods perfectly! :D I played the game for the first time recently, and I've fallen in love with it - this was amazing to come across, and I love how you made the visuals fit the song so well. :D

[@BeyondSkies]

thank you! im happy you enjoyed the game that much as well

[@floralseidreemurr1997]

wow just wow. this is incredible your storytelling and the song choice fit this so well

[@emmawaters5531]

I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT

[@YoItsAri]

This is literally the best animation I have seen in a while and the scene where Mae beat the hit out of that kid, you including the shapes in Mae's eyes really shows how much you payed attention to the story the game offered, and your art style just fits into a game like this. Edit, forgot to say but the song choice is a 10/10

[@BeyondSkies]

Thank you! I tried to pack as much detail as i could into this. My love letter to a game that’s very close to my heart

The song, the game and your artstyle fit so well! Love it!!!❤❤🎉

[@wordybirb]

I'm not sure what I can say that hasn't already been said, but I feel the need to say something to an artwork this great! I love this choice of classic song to fit for a modern game (because god this theme is perennial), I love all the imagery you chose for each line, I love the shifting lines even in still shots (is there a term for that?) that makes movement and adds to the dreamlike atmosphere, and it's just... overall fantastic! The shot of Mae's blood-covered stare toward the start and her shouting into the abyss towards the end in particular are HAUNTING! You did a great job, hope you're proud of it~

[@BeyondSkies]

oh wow this is really nice, thankyouthankyou i put a lot of thought and care into this and im definitely proud!!

[@Misha-Stogov]

very nice

[@InsertNameHere911]

I was just play NITW for the third time because I’m obsessed with it, and my mom brought up this song a couple of days ago, because I was saying how religion is stupid and god was just something people made up. The two really correlate. How things are really awful and unfair in the world, so why would there be a god? NITW is so freaking relatable and it’s awesome and I thought it was a great coincidence that I found this video. God has led me here, to the comments section, to type this long comment, for someone to read.

[@BeyondSkies]

oh wow, that is a pretty crazy coincidence

[@rengen3863]

вау, это потрясающи выглядит, автор наверняка потратил много времени и сил у меня нету слов, просто вау!

[@gladeseason3462]

This is absolutely amazing, I was hooked the whole way through. Excellent song choice too wow. I can see myself coming back to watch this many many times in the future!! NITW truly is a life changing game, it’s gotten me through basically all my teen years and it’ll probably keep me going still. Just awesome work here

[@spookystoriesgaming2926]

I'll be honest here, I could LIKE the vid itself, but there's a HUGE nuance that stopped me from that. Animatic itself is GREAT, I can say for sure, and I like it, BUT... When lyrics started humilating, lowering, and the last words "I don't believe in you", I've done a verdict for myself: Despite the Animatic, because of the Last Words and assuring that there's no God in the end of the vid... **It Does NOT** deserve a "Like" from me, but it very could due to the quality of the Animatic. Do whatever: try to Change my mind, prove me wrong or stuff. I'll see if anyone will disagree with me.

[@ratsandmice1612]

I understand the meaning of this song. I understand how people don't believe in God... but I have some things to say. God created a law, and we constantly break his law. Why don't people have enough to eat? Idk... why are people so greedy that they can't simply share with God's children...? War... greed... hunger... is because of us, bot God. And God cant stop us, he gave us free will because he wanted us to choose to luve him because he wanted out love for hom to be real and not something that he chooses for us. We can't blame God for us being sinful. If people just loved one another... there would be a change. War... greed... hunger... slavery... is because of us... God loves us all.

cool animatic, kinda crap song
