Lapse || Dream SMP Animatic

Hey! Look who finished a thing!
I'm in college full-time now, so I'm not going to declare myself "returned," but I do hope to be making things when I have the time and energy. As it is, this one's not very long and fairly simple--but I consider it a minor miracle that it exists at all, so I'll take what I can get. I think it took me about three weeks in total, cause I started storyboarding right after the prison break stream. Actually, what happened is I was watching the stream and doing my homework, just chilling. And then some of the frame compositions flashed into vision and became seared in my mind. And I sat there like, "Shoot. I'm gonna have to make this now, aren't I?"
Also: This project might not stack up so well with the others, but I made it for the pure joy of bringing it to completion. If at least one other person is also excited about it, then I guess I did what I came here to do.
Very happy to have had a project to dig into these past few weeks
TOOLS OF THE TRADE:
As always, this was made using Procreate for iPad, Adobe After Effects, and like half a bottle of caffeine pills.
Song used: Only Way Out - Madeon (ft. Vancouver Sleep Clinic)
Oh my gosh. I love this song so much. Second to Innocence, it's probably my favorite that I've ever used. I probably listened to this song daily while working on Innocence, actually, so it's a nice little tribute for me. And WOW I love Vancouver Sleep Clinic. I've had a passing interest since I heard "Closure" in like 2018, but man I have been loving their stuff lately. "The Wire"??? Wow. Now that's a song.
Anyways, I could clearly rant about this all day. Let's move on.

OTHER STUFF:
Okay. Time for a keyword salad. I don't think this actually matters (and my analytics are already gonna be destroyed by how long I've been gone), but it's funny!
In this funny little Dream SMP Animatic, there is Lore and Drama. The Drama is entirely limited to Minecraft Game Mechanics, so a lot of things are completely left to artistic licensing. For example, the Character Designs are based on Minecraft Skins that cant have more than 500 Pixels. Speaking of Characters, there are so many of your favorite Dream SMP characters, like Technoblade. Why is he wearing a blindfold? We may never know. There is also a Dream. There are a few Dreams actually, he's on more than one panel. Imagine that. There's also Quackity, just one though. Dream and Technoblade are in Prison, and then later they are not. The Prison is called Pandora's Vault, in case you're wondering. TommyInnit is also in this Animatic. But only about half of it. There is also a lot of Running. So much Running. But I bet you could tell that from the title. Lastly, your other favorite characters make an appearance as well, including Ranboo, Philza (Ph1lza) Minecraft, and "Sam" Awesamdude. Wow. What a great cast.
One more thing: I want to say thanks to E & A for keeping me grounded these past few months. I doubt they'll read this, but it's the thought that counts. I owe them a lot.

Ok the flashes while Tommy’s running from Dream being a reference to shattered (aka the scenes pertaining to Tommy’s death) was INCREDIBLE. I love that the fandom has taken that blooper and ran with it as Tommy’s biggest fear and what he sees is gonna happen.

[@WhatIsMyLif3]

Blooper?? I'm pretty sure flashes was containing to Tommy bow and arrow death and tommy's prison death

[@averagejoe5750]

Honestly I think the frame at 2:45 where Sam pulls out his sword to kill Ranboo is really overlooked. The fact that the sword is entirely red, unlike how Techno and Dream were in the last frame beforehand. Shows that no matter who’s view is being looked in the eyes on, everyone agrees that Sams action of killing Ranboo was wrong, for he hadn’t done anything to warrant being killed for.

[@CJ55981]

In Late's animations, red means evil. And usually when an SMP character does a bad thing, they are coloured red. But here, Sam's sword is red, but Sam isn't. That's an interesting way for Late to show their opinion about Ranboo's death. It wasn't a good thing, but the one who did it isn't considered evil in this scene. Interesting.

[@Someone-or8tp]

@@CJ55981 I think it's also interesting to see that Techno doesn't turn red until we see Tommy, which shows that Techno's evil is only considered evil in relation to how it effects Tommy. But overall the action of breaking Dream out to repay his debt and helping Ranboo is not evil in itself. Its only evil when you consider how it will hurt Tommy in the long run.

[@warriorcatkitty]

omg, I love this frame at 2:45 , where Techno and Dream aren't fully in red, but Dream has much more red on him than Techno. Someone mentioned that they seem to only be red when someone around them views them as evil, or they are doing something evil in that moment. So if you consider that, and the fact that you can see Dream running away here, and Dream saying he wouldn't come back to save Ranboo, then you can kind of get the symbolism here. In that moment, Techno did come back to save Ranboo, while Dream would not. So even though in everyone elses' eyes, both Techno and Dream were "bad", but they did see Techno try to save Ranboo- and Dream running away, meaning that they'd see Techno as less evil than Dream. (and yes, this could be Tommy's view as well) although this is just one way to interpret this- there's several other ways I've already came up with lol ^^'

[@gelmanbegum9934]

nice

[@ollieeque5572]

Personally, to me it feels that Tommy is one of the main protagonists in Finn's animatics. As Techno and Dream are coming out of the water from outside of the prison, Tom watches on from the hill. The frame where Techno is in front of Dream and Ranboo, the only one who isn't red is Ranboo. Tom said before that he had forgiven Techno, so in Tommy's eyes, this could be him believing that Techno is still a bad man, fighting with Dream, against him, but as Dream leaves his side, unwilling to stay to keep Ranboo alive, the red leaves Techno, possibly showing Tommy that really, Techno isn't here just for Dream or siding with him, shown as he stays where he is for Ranboo. But yes, this could just be the view of the general public of the SMP too though. Sorry if this seems messy, was kind of just me rambling. :)

[@warriorcatkitty]

@@ollieeque5572 Yeah, this was also something I was thinking too!

[@Ramzi65ok]

it has been said before that the red has protained to tommy's prespective of a situation, although the red can symbolize someone partaking in an evil act in the momment.

[@John-oo6ng]

Thought of it more as dreams evil rubbing off on techno blade

[@heartkade]

I find it SO interesting how the red faded from Techno after Ranboo was killed. Almost like his rage/will drained out of him as he saw it happen? Sam was grey except for his sword which was bright red, which could show how the action of taking Ranboo hostage and killing him was out of his duty as Warden, not his true emotions. And Dream is just red throughout like always. So cool :D

[@crunch5]

I love how Dream is always shown in red when around other people whom didn’t break him out, and people who don’t consider him an “ally”, or people whom consider him a villain

[@dormant5023]

The Dream SMP was one of the things that really got me through quarantine. Without it, I don't know where I'd be. Looking back on these animations now is so incredibly bittersweet, as one relives a time where everything was so unsure and scary all over the world, but we looked to Minecraft streamers for comfort - and that they did provide. We sought shelter in the elaborate fiction and lore and community to hide from all that we couldn't control. It was a safe place in a world where going outside was putting your life at risk. So much has changed since then. I will miss the days of the Dream SMP. I will miss the days of scrolling through animations after watching every canon stream. I will miss the days of watching through all of the artistic interpretations of the story arcs instead of paying attention during virtual classes. I will miss the days of talking endlessly with my friends about our favorite streamers and doodling the dramatic action scenes on my homework. I can't believe it has been three years. It hurts to move on.

[@absoluterage6147]

Yep, im with you

[@comictitan4509]

It still hurts. I don't think about it often, but sometimes I do, and I'll sit and think for a moment about just how profound all of this was - everything from the streamers to the acting to the lore to the animatics to the fan theories and 3am discussions with friends about what we think will happen. It was incredible, all of it, and it simply ceasing to exist feels like quite the loss. I haven't even seen any new animatics or anything, or heard any mention of it past the Season 2 discussions; it's as if it has been well and truly left behind.

0:36 “if you let me, I’ll give you comfort- give you something to take away the pain,” as Wilbur sits down and nudges him but Tommy looks away.

[@SwizzleDrizzl]

It's pretty complicated, but basically the guy with the mask was locked up for harassing the kid in the thumbnail, and then he escapes prison and, for revenge, is now tormenting the kid best he can again. The blindfolded guy owed the masked guy a favor, so he helped break him out of prison, even if he doesn't like his abhorrent behavior.

[@rat_vibes_]

I love how at 0:29 Wilbur nudges Tommy and he smiles but then he frowns and turns away and it pans over to Dream while Wilbur looks kinda confused. In my opinion, it kinda shows that Tommy still cares for Wil, but he turns away because knows he can't trust him because of his blind loyalty to Dream. But, Wil doesn't understand that because he doesn't see Dream as the bad guy so he doesn't know why Tommy won't trust him. Plus the lyrics during that scene- "And I know you think that we're done for. If you let me, I'll bring you comfort, give you something to take away the pain. There is no other way now." That shows that Wilbur knows Tommy already has low expectations for him and their relationship because of all the stuff that happened before Phil killed him, but he still genuinely wants to help him out. But then it pans to Dream when it says "There is no other way now" signifying that Tommy knows that Dream still has a hold on him because the only way they can have an actual relationship is if Wilbur somehow stopped following Dream, otherwise he'd give him up in a heartbeat if Dream were to call in his favor. That scene could mean something totally different or just not be that deep, but that's just how I see it and I absolutely love it.

[@princeofmoths]

Absolutely incredible work! I'm not sure how intentional this is, but seeing Phil (the character the fandom has given the title Angel of Death) reaching out towards Ranboo-not in sadness, but as if Ranboo should take his hand-as he was killed was such an awesome detail.

This is so awesome and beautiful. It looks so good. My favorite detail was at 2:25 when Dream's looking away from the cell since he didnt want to let Ranboo out. That's how I interpreted it anyway.

THE COLORS ARE ALWAYS SO STUNNING. HOW DID YOU COLOR ALMOST EVERTHING AND ANIMATE IT??? YOU ARE ASTOUNDING AND YOUR ART IS ASTRONOMICALLY BEAUTIFUL. 😫

This was amazing. Really, the song choice, the plans, everything works so well together! It really makes me remember of the time I discovered Innocence (which led me to discover the Dream SMP) and the incredible HYPE I had everytime you'd make a new video. It's been a bit more than a year now that I've discovered and enjoyed both Dream SMP and yours content. And I'm so glad about it because thanks to all of this, I've had a fabulous year :)
