Face Reality Animatic - Bendy and the Ink Machine

EDIT 2023: Holy cow, after four years this video broke ONE MILLION views?? You guys are incredible! Thank you so much for enjoying my work, you have no idea how huge a milestone this is for a small creator like me! Much love to you all, and many thanks for being there for the ride!
NOTE: I do not condone/agree with any of the beliefs of the singer SD in the video who has become notorious for her stances. I have chosen to leave this video as is to preserve the work/art put into it and respect Mcknight's work as well, but am putting out the statement that I have no positive standing with SD and have no association with her or related people. She nor I am profiting off this work and I never intend for that at any time. This video is purely a standalone work.

EDIT: tracing/recreation/use of this video is not permitted, and any violations of this will result in a DMCA takedown. do not steal or use this work. The music is copyrighted too so use of it without explicit permission will be dealt with as well.
----
It's been a long time coming, but with three MONTHS of vigorous work this time, I think this one really takes the cake! Having gotten proper permissions, my animatic for Face Reality is finally done! I hope you all enjoy it from the sheer work effort it took- and make sure you watch to the very end for a secret surprise ; )!

2 reasons for liking this song: 1. The animation is AMAZING! The detail is just... there aren’t any words great enough to show how good it is! 2. LISTEN to the music. JUST LISTEN!! It tell the whole story in less than 5 min. I love this song so much!!!!!! I think I broke the replay button.

[@Wolfsbaene]

I really love the bit at 1:54. You invoked the song in a way that gets the vibe and feelings across immediately. And the chorus! Showing art reminiscent of stuff from the original videos was such a nice choice, and it works perfectly in context with the whole video.

[@TheDreamerFrom04]

I love this. I remember spending about three hours writing the subtitles for Instruments of Cyanide instead of sleeping, because these animatics are amazing. This song immediately hooked me because of the way it presented the characters, used other songs for the well of voices, and had that BATIM vibe. So, again, I love this.

Omg I had to watch it for such a long time (Well, the first day it realeased but it starts to be a long time). Let me say I just LOVE what you did with this animatic, really :o The storytelling, the drawings, the references to some "forgotten" material of the game like alpha bendy (Or the squish as people used to call him ahah). I discovered your work with the ink demonth this summer, and I just realized you are also the winner of the last contest, I didn't make the link in my mind ahah (Congrats btw !!) Anyways, you did an amazing job for all I just talked about and for sure, I'm looking forward your next works~ owo)b
