[@EvanRoyalty]

Hope you guys enjoy the spoop! For the inevitable, the two songs bound to asked about are here: Synthetic Epiphany ft. CoMa - Volition Credits Track: Noclu & CoMa - Smile

[@KnishiTheSaiyan]

A job well done as always man, i missed your work. Are you still making "The Wasteland"?

[@EvanRoyalty]

Yeah, but things have changed. Gonna, do an update on that later.

[@thesupasamurai]

where have you been?

[@Twn_Turbo]

Evan Royalty glad to see you making AMAZING machinimas again!

[@Twn_Turbo]

Evan Royalty Watching on Halloween!

[@AlanGohel]

My wife went into labor when I got the notification for this video. Priorities, people.

[@tysonmorgan346]

False, men cant have children. Or be wives

[@Lostinsilenthill]

I see... So you watched the video. Bad man!

[@ZumieFiasco]

Okay Evan.. My dude. I can't even find the words man.. If I were to comment on everything I appreciated and liked in this video I'd have to write a fucking book man. I was glued to this the entire time. I didn't think you would be able to top The Sacrifice but holy shit was I wrong. The story, the cinematography, the ambiance, the emotion, the character building, the writing, etc. all so well done.. The list goes on man You are one talented individual. I am so happy you have support too and you have people that are able to help out with the voice acting, it's the cherry on top man. I can only imagine the stress and hard work that goes into projects like this. Props to you and your team on this great work. Bravo man can't wait to see what's next.

[@EvanRoyalty]

Thanks for the kind words, man. Makes it all worth it.

[@CreepypastaHorror]

Who would win? Hollywood and the entire entertainment industry *or* a few nerds on GTA V. lol great work though man. Always a blast to see you upload. ✊

[@a_pseudonymous3932]

I like how Evan is not offended.

[@88Jackob88]

Fantastically crafted, dark atmospheric nightmare. My kind of shit. Also grats to the voice actors, they did a really great job.

[@EvanRoyalty]

Thanks, dad.

[@StephanieSwanQuills]

Thank you so much for inviting me to be a part of this! It's always a pleasure working with you, Evan; and I can't wait to collaborate with you again!

[@IMiss2018Jovic]

Thank God you are back KZbin turned into diss tracks and click bait

[@ks-117]

Footsteps: The Movie. Haha great video man, very artistic and dark. Glad you're back man.

[@valetv2208]

I LOVED IT! I was so confused but yet so engaged on how well this machinima was. Evan you never fail! Once again a great machinima.

[@infrared456]

This is Roger Deakens level of cinematography, jesus dude you've really outdone yourself!

[@EvanRoyalty]

I wouldn't ever put myself near Deakens' level, but I'll accept the compliment nonetheless.

[@hosesama7215]

Dude, I've been on a binge watching your videos best summed up with one word : AMAZING!

[@nightmarefrostnyx7592]

You're pretty good, I had chills running down on my spine while watching this. Glad to see you back, keep up good the work, your spirits up and smile.

[@small6887]

God, evrytime you make a new machinama it gets 100% better everytime....

[@suttree3233]

kwl beans man, love the claustrophobic feel with the aspect ratio and color pallet, reminds me of Trey Edward Shults' 'It Comes At Night' and Robert Eggers' 'The VVitch'. Not sure about some of the voice acting, not in performance but in consistency. altogether damn good movie.

[@EvanRoyalty]

Seen both of those films. I guess it's 'the VVitch' in color grading (My Lumetri preset is literally called The VVitch) and 'Its Comes at Night' in cinematography, spare the alternating aspect ratio. As for voice acting, I agree. Would have been pickier if I wasn't rushing.

[@ddiegnan6587]

Was hopeful you’d make one of these around this time, well worth the wait

[@PEGCinema]

This should have more views. I can appreciate the work on this as fellow machinima creator. Even after watching the entire duration three times now!

[@darksceptre7]

Oh mah lawd he back lol Made me so glad to see this notification man, awesome job as always o 3o

[@yurxionice1690]

As always, great job! Glad we waited patiently for this masterpiece :))

[@nordicomsystems8841]

Wow, what a blast. I followed along pretty well, it's deep but not too deep that you can't grasp what's happening. I love your work man, just found your channel today and I've been watching videos for hours now. Thank you!

[@joooop]

Everything flows together perfectly, well done!

[@KeithRecht]

A day is always great when Evan makes another magnificent creation

[@CaptainLegend]

Gotta say, I am LOVING these trippy, artsy, horror films you've been doing recently! Horror isn't really my type of thing, but something about this is just beautifully horrifying! Great work as always, Evan!

[@CaptainLegend]

P.S. Still holding out for True Crime 2! (Please, maybe someday)

[@dogalolo]

Man, this was so good. I can't wait for whatever's next!

[@RusS1482]

Had absolutely no clue what this all meant but a quick google search definitely helps make it somewhat clear Katabasis or catabasis (Ancient Greek: κατάβασις, from κατὰ "down" and βαίνω "go") is a descent of some type, such as moving downhill, the sinking of the winds or sun, a military retreat, A TRIP TO THE UNDERWORLD, or a trip from the interior of a country down to the coast. Always love the word evan, even if it is a lot of metaphors. (Or maybe im wrong completely and missed the whole point or something, never really was good at figuring out films)

[@deviliac187]

I love those short movies that you make i hope you are gonna made more in the future. You probably know that, but the video editing is just amazing and the story of those short movies are pure art.

[@spikul]

damn, just look who's back let me grab some kielbasa with bread and I'm ready to go on this ride

[@ogsleepwalker3411]

I've been meaning to watch this since you uploaded it. This is some good work dude!

[@ras.9524]

Man. Awesome work! This was well made. Man I wish I could make machinimas like these. Everything from the story, mood, voice acting and cinematography is amazing. Excellent work good sir!

[@creep9707]

NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST IN MY LIFE!!!! Welcome Back Evan! How's It Been?

[@EvanRoyalty]

Good, worked on this every waking moment for the past month just after moving house. Glad to be back.

[@creep9707]

Cool! Hope You Settled In Well! Just Starting Working On My Machinima, Got Any Tips For Like Camera Basics And Stuff? :)

[@EvanRoyalty]

Rule of thirds: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds 180-Degree Rule: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/180-degree_rule Everything else can only work in accordance to whatever drama you intend to present, and is thus, only for you to decide.

[@VenNoel]

IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR UR RETURN

[@crashnburnking7020]

Thank you for all your hard work to put this together, you are a huge inspiration, thank you again!

[@roadblock506]

[@kendrickwilliams2471]

[@davyhayes2098]

C'est un chef-d'œuvre mondial !It's incroyable !

[@sad4882]

YAY MORE MACHINIMAS

[@whanowa]

Hey Evan, I loved it so much! The voice acting just makes it so much better. If you need another voice I'd be ready to help you out. I'm all set up. *About the compression problem:* Did you use "Extended Video Export" for rendering from GTA? I have a tutorial on my channel for this. It really improves bitrate especially for dark shots. Also, even if you edit in 1080p it might be worth upscaling to 4K in Premiere because KZbin allows higher bitrates for 4K than for 1080p. I did the same for my recent video "Halloweenception" in case you wanna have a comparison. If you have any questions hit me up on the SD discord.

[@KreightonLMilks]

whanowa hey man, I’m trying to make a gta machinima series over channel called Team Chuck, if your interested. I need some good, reliable voice actors.

[@ZumieFiasco]

BEEN TOO FUCKING LONG lol Liked before hitting play let's go!

[@graydentaylor542]

When this video first showed up in my subscriptions I actually didn't comprehend that it was a recent release. Took me about 5 seconds to realize that Christmas came early to KZbin. Amazing work, as always. I am wondering though, is this something that was in the works for a while, or was this a spontaneous idea you gave life to? I remember you saying that you were doing a bunch of meticulous work with the Wasteland script and filming, and that you had videos that you wanted to finish editing to put up. Regardless, I hope you are doing well and love watching these machinimas.

[@EvanRoyalty]

Literally came up with the idea a few days before writing it. Knew I wanted to make another Halloween short.

[@xgalaxxxy7929]

Wow, amazing vid Evan, great to see u back. How have you been? 👍👍👍

[@EvanRoyalty]

Just glad to be back.

[@xgalaxxxy7929]

Evan Royalty wow, u replied, no KZbinr has ever replied to me!

[@mitch31]

Yyeeeeeeeeee boiiii

[@ShredderGG]

This notification bell needs work. How did this never reach me?! Ah whatever. Better watching late than never lol

[@GRSsonick]

The cinematography in your machinimas is great. I feel like I'm learning in a way when I watch them. Also, this in a way reminds me a bit of Oxenfree. Did that have anything to do with the writing?

[@EvanRoyalty]

Nah, but I feel they probably took similar inspiration. Thanks for the kind words.

[@itsnotmrqueen__1817]

Amazing!

[@BJMW_]

I’m just a little confused to what is happening?

[@RusS1482]

Katabasis or catabasis (Ancient Greek: κατάβασις, from κατὰ "down" and βαίνω "go") is a descent of some type, such as moving downhill, the sinking of the winds or sun, a military retreat, a trip to the underworld, or a trip from the interior of a country down to the coast. I know that doesnt exactly explain it but im sure it can help make sense of it. Evan is very vague wit his movies and very rarely gives explenations himself

[@Lostinsilenthill]

The woman's sister died in a crash. Then her and a few people did some sort of ritual to go to the afterlife-purgatory, so she could see her sister again. As far as the other guy's she was with, i don't know what their motivation was for going.

[@AnaxofRhodes]

Mah boi.

[@rankedinr6249]

The video ended and I said "DAMN IT"

[@totalcreativegaming6681]

Brilliant

[@meza_pvp_vetard_aquea3133]

[@marcuswhitby3773]

[@icygaming20]

You got fucked over by the subscription box. I just found this lol

[@I_Am_Warden]

In love with CoMa

[@nicechips3315]

Evan please give this a prequel

[@maticcarrizo]

A great movie, good work! I got a suggestion can you make a movie about Yellow Eye? It would be awesome!

[@backboardfilms]

Where do you get a lot of your horror ambients, amazing job btw!

[@EvanRoyalty]

Had most of them made by a friend. All else is from this website: www.epidemicsound.com/

[@backboardfilms]

Evan Royalty thank you! If you have any tips for making GTA rockstar films please send them my way, i really appreciate it!

[@kurta6179]

[@kyu704]

[@itskuda7459]

Great vids, but please for Gods sake use Redux graphic mod, GTA looks better than real life with it...

[@roscoehussein2812]

Why? It looks better with lack of color...

[@Twn_Turbo]

Tip: can u make the black border a little smaller? I know it can add effect but I only have a small phone. Thanks👌❤

[@FaizanKhalidofficial]
