Innocence || Dream SMP Animatic

[Redundant spoiler warning for the Manberg vs Pogtopia War arc]
Alright. Here we go.
I managed to finish this in about 2 weeks total. For comparison, my other animatic took me about a year... Yeah. I'm very tired. It isn't perfect, but wow I am so done.
Share this around if you like it, I would be quite happy if it makes others happy.
I could probably rant about this project for a year straight, so that would have to be another video. Maybe. I'll see if anyone's interested.
Frames/Slides drawn and animated in Procreate
Editing done in After Effects
Sleep done never
Song: Innocence - Madeon
On the song choice: I feel like this fandom doesn't have enough EDM in it. Actually writing that out might be the dumbest thing I've ever done, but I stand by my statement. What I'm saying is, this song slaps.

[@RandomPerson-qv9jr]

@@thanos7794 Tommy didn't have to do what he did though. He also has to consider how he can't always be backed up by his friends. He was the VP of L'manburg. Tommy shouldn't have ruined his chance to avoid the exile. I think both Tubbo and Tommy were kinda right in their desicions for that reason. Dream pretty much is the main villain. Tubbo thought there was no other choice, since Dream was just that powerful, and so he exiled Tommy. But Dream is technically not even following the terms of the exile. Who says Tommy can't go to Pogtopia? And what about getting robbed from everyday? He's keeping Tommy alive to make him suffer. I agree with you guys lol Dream is the one I'm against(although his character's also pretty cool here).

Although the story tends to paint TommyInnit as the main character; it really was Wilbur’s story.

@The Music Man keep in mind I did say it ‘was’ Wilburs story, I do think Tommy plays a pivotal part in the story as a whole, but this was definitely Wilbur’s arc. Tommy’s character-arc is a bit larger and ongoing, which is why the whole L’Manberg Revolution & getting cast out wasn’t to specifically bring solidarity to his character. Although, he did have character growth the arc wasn’t meant for his character if you get what I mean.

Tis one is a fair and just interpretation. He is also blind to everyone but himself.

[@sebrina6475]

I dont think it means he kills blindly (cus he doesnt) I think it more of represents justice, how lady justice (who is also blindfolded) is blind to other factors like social status and heirarchy. Techno wants justice and in his mind justice can only be achieved by demolishing the government. Hence he is blind to allies, authority and friends, and only follows his own code and rules

[@witcheshazel]

@@sebrina6475 he definitely just wants chaos, not justice. I mean he said he may join the “villain” side cause everyone else was on the good side. He just wants chaos and destruction. (Least in my opinion, i dont see it as him wanting justice at all.)

[@kikinotpalmer]

“L’Manburg was never the place, it’s always been the people.”- Tubbo. All the details, leading to the flag at the end. Eret’s trembling hands behind the pride flag, the different design of Dream, which I love, Tommy realizing he made a mistake when holding that bow, about to shoot Dream, Schlatt’s “shadow appearance”, Pogtopia in itself, the broken walls, the pit, Wilbur’s fight of insanity, the different sides, the battle showing where everyone was, Tubbo’s presidential speech, Phil, the withers, everything. All of this makes not only a great animatic or great storyline for Minecraft, but, this changes lives. This SMP changed my entire life, I got into Awesamdude’s Discord, where I’ve met and made friends with so many, I’ve learned what and how to say things, I’ve learned not to bottle up emotions. So, if your reading this, you go change the world. I believe in you. Edit: Thanks for the likes guys! This is the most likes and support I’ve ever received on KZbin. Love y’all so much

I hope the community is still enjoying of what there is now and if i was still into it as much as i was 2 years ago i would still enjoy it. thank you to all animators and all songwriters and all the creators that made such a beautifull thing shine more.

Crazy how the story basically paints Tommyinnit as the main character, Tubbo as his secondary, and Wilbur being the sometimes-mental, but in general wise teacher. All throughout the story, Tommyinnit and Tubbo were pretty much the only two significant characters that were never on the "bad side," which in this animatic was portrayed by them being for the most part the only characters to never turn red (they actually did turn red for a moment when they both sat at the bench and I'm still confused what it meant, but besides that the idea remains). Kudos to the streamers in the Dream SMP for the great storyline, and great job to Late-August for capturing it perfectly! Edit: Second point: I just realized that while Technoblade was literally murdering everybody when he had the withers, along with when he killed Tubbo, he never turned red in either scenes even though many of the weapons that he utilized were red themselves. I think this symbolizes the fact that while Technoblade's actions were horrible, his intentions through them were able to justify it, keeping him from being a so-and-so "villain" in the story and rather a different-minded "idealist" in the main character's plot.

[@thatepicpug4226]

Dang you really went deep into that

[@thatepicpug4226]

And that actually makes a lot of sense

[@sigma6679]

I think that Tubbo and Tommy turning red on the bench is showing how that they considered running away, which wouldn't of been the most heroic option. Running away from their problems, leaving their friends who are in need of help, leaving everything they'd worked for, and inevitably never finishing their chapter of the war :)

[@mymumoverwaterstheflowersd8071]

2:59 Even though I absolutely adore your theory about Techno, isn’t that him red right there? Or am I mistaken?

[@I9719I]

at 2:59 in the same shot is (who I assume to be) Tommy. I think this shot is what he thinks of Wilbur and Techno, which them talking might be their conversation about blowing up L'manburg. This is just my guess, I don't know for sure.

[@Booty_Shakerrr9000]

It's crazy that this was two years ago. I remember getting this recommended to me since I watched a lot of dsmp related animations. I really do miss this era so much and I wish I can experience it all over again.

[@tisot2288]

Main character of this animatic is Wilbur. The animatic starts with wilbur looking at the sky, not the disc saga, the moment wilbur started existing in dreamsmp. When the l'manberg vs dream smp war starts everything turns gray, and people, that he thinks are enemies are red(eret turns red during war). After they secured independence everything goes back to normal. Then wilbur becomes red, becoming a "bad guy". And the animatic ends with him seeing Tommy and other boys for the last time
