How Far We've Come - Dream SMP Animatic

***THIS VIDEO AND THE ARTIST DO NOT AT THIS POINT IN TIME, ENDORSE ANYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING WITH DREAM TEAM.*** This was made a long time ago before the controversies, so please do not assume that I'm still a fan!
This video is inspired by and has been approved by my dear friend, @genesisfrog, who made the original video as linked below:
kzbin.info/www/bejne/fanKgJdjmZZ4ba8
Individual frames for the reverse chrono moment: pomodoko/status/1333804412779814912?s=20
I couldn't have made it without them allowing me to do so in the first place, and their encouragement along with the rest of my discord server have kept me going. I speedran this animatic within less than a week.
Other than that, I do not own anything in this video except for my art. The Dream SMP is the main source of all the plotline and characters seen here on the animatic. I thank them sincerely for their spectacular work in storytelling and worldbuilding.

this just feels like a love letter to the whole SMP,,, just love the fact that you included practically everyone!! and i really like how you drew them all,, tbh just the art in general here is so smooth and good and?? yes all of the different scenes you included,, god they're all just so good!! (eret losing his crown is a stand out to me) but especially at the end where it shows how they all progressed?? i love that so much. dude that would be my favourite part if it wasn't for the fact you drew SO MANY moments just for a split second moment that are all just. my gosh i love them all so much. you included the karaoke stand I,, god this is so good. i can't believe you did this in a WEEK. mad respect. i really hope someone from the smp sees this at some point bc man.

I thought that the ending scene of all the panels flashing by was a rewind of the rest of the video at first, but when I paused to look closer I realized that they were all new, unique frames! Not only that, but the scenes depicted in them were all so cute :] I can't imagine how long this must've taken and how much love and passion was sewn into it. Thank you so much for blessing us with this creation

[@tracks6984]

[@tumblingartist]

3:16 yes! They even included Iskall helping Fundy with the door

[@cyrnogen]

I love how the entire server's having a war and just randomly added George building a house there

[@thebarfingcloud2152]

things that I loved about this animatic: I love how you showed literally every person who participated in the arc of L'manburg, and the war 1:00 Wilbur watching his nation's wall's being destroyed is well drawn 1:15 how Niki's crying aligns with the lyrics "I started crying, and I couldn't stop." 1:22 I like how you drew Dream as he actually is. 1:31 this scene is drawn really well, and I love the intense fear in Tubbo's eyes. 1:35-1:42 how Techno looks so bored while Tommy is so distraught 1:50 how it flickers between Eret as King and Eret when he betrayed L'manburg, and in the next few scenes where it shows him turning away from those memories is a really nice way to show Eret's redemption arc. 2:15 How Schlatt's drunken heart attack while surrounded by enemies and traitors, aligns with the lyrics "if it's over for me, then it's over for you." because Schlatt did say something similar in his final moments. 2:24 I like how you drew Tubbo with a scar 2:33: techno and his withers is drawn well. 2:48 George building his house :) 2:52 most people don't include the badland characters, but I'm glad you did. 2:55- 3:12 how you drew Niki, Fundy, Eret, Quackity, Tubbo, and Tommy's arcs, I feel like many people forget about them. I'm especially happy you drew Niki's arc. I feel like many people forget about the roles she played in the Revolution and the Election. 3:13 how the red blood is the only color in this scene. Also how Wilbur is smiling, showing he is finally at peace in death. 3:15 I originally thought that you reused the same scenes, but I paused it and saw that you drew completely new scenes, and I think that extra effort deserves to be recognized. :) 3:19 Ending your animatic with the drug van was an excellent idea because L'manburg was originally just Tommy and Wilbur's drug van, and it ties in with the "let's see how far we've come" theme. The music, the art, and the expressions were all perfect, I love this animatic dearly, and I love the effort you put into it. Thank you for making this :)

[@andywoods941]

Yeah, I was chilling with my family and I showed them the song "Marionettes" by Kanaya. They were saying how it was a pretty cool villain song, and I was explaining what it was about, when I suddenly had a hilarious idea. I said, "Alright, I'm going to show you guys a picture of Dream, okay? So, he is the evil villain, super scary, this whole low-key creepy vibe from him in this song, and this is what he looks like:" I held up my phone, and I had a picture of Dream's Minecraft skin on it. My entire family burst out laughing, even more so when I said that it was actually him and I wasn't trolling them. They couldn't believe it!

[@mythproductions1081]

I’d like to let you know that I cried and it made my day. It’s so.. nostalgic?? The fact that I was able to witness this makes me shed a tear, and this animatic really captures how it feels to look back. ALSO EVERYBODY’S DESIGN?? I AM AMAZED BY KARL’S DESIGN AND YOU HAVE EVERYBODY IN HERE. HOLY HELL YOU EVEN HAVE HBOMB IN HERE. You captured everything perfectly. Nostalgia hits hard and you captured that. ❤️

[@thepyroman8929]

1)wow homestuck nostalgia 2)I love the end it really reminds people that this just started with some friends wanting to make drugs, so wholesome

[@anniedandy1191]

THIS WAS SO GOOD! There were so many nice moments thrown in, like the animation of Phil looking back at, "if you've got someone you can say goodbye to." And all the unique frames flashing by at the end! So much care and detail went into this, and I love that you highlighted others like Niki and Eret, and that you even included people like Ponk and Punz! Underrated people who deserve a bit more credit sometimes. So much care and detail is obvious, and it's so cool. (And I cracked up at happy King George building his house at, "Oh well, I guess we're gonna pretend." Loool, him and his happy mushroom house while literal war is happening across the street.)

[@meaganhilleary7172]

I paused the fast frames and the one where techno is showing them the vault is a masterpiece. You even have Tubbo taking all the emeralds.

[@ErikaCartet]

i just love how you've included the whole cast of the server and little moments that never really end up in the main storyline animatics while still showing the major plot points, i feel like those little moments bring so much life and depth and encapsulate what the charm of the smp really is. some of my favorite shots were how you animated that slight philza head turn and techno with the withers!

[@Hailoow]

This legit looks like an anime finale outro, but at the same time, it captures all the details I thought I've forgotten in a matter of frames. You can see the growth and change in all the Dream SMP characters and I am so proud to say I WAS HERE. I am absolutely speechless, this is so POGCHAMP.

When it got to the Fundy and Hbomb one, I literally laughed for like ten minutes straight. I've never seen a more accurate expression for Fundy. Anyway... THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE AND ALMOST MADE ME CRY

watched this again and i just LOVE the use of gray to signify the mood of the moment. when wil passed the presidency to tommy it was dark gray, them from tommy to tubbo was light gray, and then the shot of tubbo radiating light had an even lighter shade in the background. and in the reverse chrono moment how it get lighter to signify the lightheartedness of the past compared to the present is just [chefs kiss] i love this animatic so so so much, you can genesis did SO good and i'm so proud

i have so much to say on this holy shit ok so: - THE ART? THE LinEART? FUCKING PHENOMENAL. SO CLEAN, SO GOOD. EVEN WITH THE BARE USE OF COLOR ITS SO GOOD IM HOUGHUHUG - THE SCENE CHOICE. HOOH. ITS.. its so good im dying. huge HUGE props to your friend. it seems so rare that these animatics will focus on characters outside of the major and minor and this one takes the cake for not only including minor ones but EVEN THE BACKGROUND CHARACTERS. THE ONES THAT BARELY GET THE SPOTLIGHT ARE STILL HERE, THEY ARE INCLUDED. AND THEY ARE NOT JUST SHADOWED IN PEOPLE! THEY ARE THERE! IN FULL, RECOGNIZABLE DETAIL! AND THATS???? AWESOME!?????????????? LIKE YYYYYO - this just.. makes me happy. especially when the song is one of those 'fandom songs' that everyone always uses to sum up the entirety of a story, and i think you and genesisfrog did it wonderfully. amazing job some additional notes (about the stuff, in the thing) - dream being the blob man he was always destined to be is great. he is just a being of white. unhuman. - oh the tubbo scars.. like at first i didnt notice when he was in bandages until he got appointed president and my mind did a somersault LOOK AT HIMMM - callahan at 2:36 is so fucking funny ho my god - the george house design is actually really nice wow - eret getting replaced with george was also funny im sorry just. his dream scepter.. and hes so like nonchalant like 'oh nice alright' - after looking at the end frames in total i realize 2/4 of them have quackity naked. the man cannot keep his clothes on to save his life this is wonderful. there are no more words i can use to express just how good this is. i disintegrate now. thank you

[@beautifulgudrun8802]

So many little details here!! Beyond including pretty much every major plot point from the election arc onward, and including pretty much everyone with some super cool designs, there's some awesome details! Some of my favourites: -Hbomb freaking out surrounded by smoke and fire, because it's his first day on the server and everything went wrong - the bit with "say you're goodbyes If you got someone you can say goodbye to" is just astounding?? Like, Wilbur looking insane with his TNT, Techno looking intimidating but keeping his back turned, and Phil turning around to glance back at his son?? (also the colours! Wilbur is grey, Techno is a darker grey, and Phil is white. Levels of "purity") - the pit scene, showing Wilbur Niki and Tubbo looking on, and Tubbo's face is all bandaged up and he's got his scars from the fireworks - when Dream is surrendering and leading everyone to the Cama Van, the vans all dilapidated, sitting on piles of bricks instead of wheels, ect. -the wither scene showing everyone (even Callahan! Think this is his first time in an animation) fighting it, and then just cutting to George admiring his house. - Badlands bois!! Enough said. - the scenes showing the progression of the characters is perfect, but I love how Erets has some little details. The staff has dreams smile face on the end, and the final frame has George as the king, and Eret out of the kingly attire + missing his sunglasses (cause the glasses and crown are on the same skin layer aaa) - final frame before the montage being Phil, covered in his sons blood and in tears, calling out. Love that Wilbur is smiling and looks at peace. He finally got to rest. -literally too many things to mention in the montage! Each thing is an original frame, barely lasting a second! The dedication! - final frame being Wilbur and Tommy with the original van, pre-revolution. Wilbur's got the skin he had when he first joined too. This is absolutely JAM PACKED with details. The fact you managed to include so much is actually incredible.

"If you have someone you can say goodbye to" And then there's Philza... 🥺🥺🥺 Also, I like how you gave Tubbo scars from being shot with the rocket. I've never really seen anybody acknowledge canon deaths in their character designs, so that was a really unique and cool take!

not me crying over this oh my god this is me crying over people playing/roleplaying in MINECRAFT

[@chalkzz]

I absolutely love the ending frames, like I had to pause to take a look at them for hours. You even added people like Punz, Callahan, etc! Which I love so much.

2:32 my fave part... love how smooth that animation is!!! P.S. Love how it ended with the drug van... the beginning of the the chaos in the smp~~

[@theraven2663]

This should be updated and longer when the whole SMP is over. This should be the end credits. I love this so much. Makes me cry.

[@leef6255]

This feels like an extended version of like an opening theme song to the dream smp, especially the end.
