Leviathan - Thalassophobia Animation

Recreation of a recent nightmare of mine.

[@chilledbear2768]

I was so anxious waiting for something to jump scare under the water

[@spadeiguess]

I’m so glad they didn’t, I was waiting for a jumpscare to happen and felt relieved when that wasn’t the case.

[@SomeGuyWithABlueMask]

with a creature that size, I think it would think of you as nothing but a tiny fish floating about, not a snack

[@vbun4662]

The scariest part is definitely it swimming deeper down into the abyss. Just really drives home that sensation of "worse things can be down there"

[@calebleach7988]

I disagree. I think what’s even scarier was that *it was turning around*

[@bazookabullet101]

True, for me it's the poor visibility and incompetence humans have in water. We wouldn't even get the privaledge to view it clearly and tell where it's going. It could pop back in from another direction to devour you, or it could be migrating away

[@ManoMano-ti8bh]

[@jdos5643]

Leviathan in the Bible simply refers to a crocodile. Behemoth is a hippo. Job observed them from a close distance or perhaps didn’t ever seen them but God was describing them. They are not monsters like they are portrayed here.

​@@WasBannedThoits possible to turn it over. It'll take in some water but it better than it being upside-down. You can dump out the water anyway

[@IAmPez]

@@kymo6343 Because it's impossible to bear the weight when you are treading water and not solid ground. Imagine floating in water and trying to push an even slightly heavy object up above your head. You are just going to sink. You would face the same problem in trying to push the boat in the air enough to turn it past it's centre of mass.

[@a.morphous66]

This is one of the best thalassophobia/megalophobia videos I've seen. No cheap jumpscare, nothing trying to eat you, just a really big unknowable beast that doesn't care about you in the slightest. It invokes the fear of the ocean and what lies beneath in such an impactful way.

Honestly the video not jumpscaring us scared me even more than if it did. 💀💀 *The uneasy feeling you have of watching it just drift back down into the depths completely unfazed is terrifying.*

[@purplehaze2358]

What intrigues me the most about this is that, in spite of literally being a recreation of a nightmare, this still ended with whatever that.. thing was simply swimming down into the deep instead of outright attacking. Not only is that more accurate to what might happen in this kind of situation had it been in real life, something quite unusual for a dream; it's something of a mercy, arguably. Then again, perhaps it paying no mind to whoever was in that boat only makes it worse in a way - a creature just wanting to eat you triggers the flight or fight response, but a creature being so vast that it doesn't even seem to notice a person, let alone have any reason to attack them, scares people on a level far more psychological than just a physical threat.

[@tre7132]

[@nandomaguina590]

yea I agree, this if there were sea monsters of this magnitude in size...they wouldnt bother eating a human which isn’t going to feed them much anyways. Prob on hunt for bigger meals, it’s an animal after all, not some malovolent being. Seriously, they did experiment with cats chasing small bugs, only house cats and maybe servals and savannah cats cared....lions , tigers,, bob cats, etc (bigger predators) did not care for the tiny insect light but all smaller cats did....jsut cause bigger predators know wouldnt give much nutrition so wouldnt bother with it.

Magnificent work. What I really love is how you made it not attack the boat or the character, which makes it way more realistic.

The boat capsizing was the absolute worst (as in most terrifying) part for me. Being in the middle of the ocean on a boat doesn't scare me, and while seeing a huge monster breach and what not next to me would certainly scare me, it's the capsizing and losing any semblance of safety I had that truly does it in for me.

変な小細工が無くていい！こういうのが観たかった！

[@Larc15]

its curious, some people may get scared because of this, but i only see perfection and feel admiration for creatures like that

[@SavingPrivateBob]

Imagine a short game where you go to an island where this beast circles and you have to figure out how to find and capture it. That'd be sick

I was about to dismiss this as a decent animation that probably needs work (the bubbles stop a bit too abruptly when you fall in the water) and was going to show a goofy looking free model of a sea dragon-type thing or smth, but upon seeing the monster was actually surprised at how ingenious it was. The large part of the monster that was thought to be its back or something was actually simply the tail. The tip of the iceberg to the unseen gargantuan behemoth that dives just out of sight. Excellent animation!

What's even better is the fact that, at first it looks like the monster wants to eat you... but when you find out it was just the tail that knocked your boat over, you realize that it was most likely already underneath you before you saw its tail, and that it was looking you over the whole time before deciding you weren't worth its time, the tail hitting your boat most likely being an unintentional result of it diving down into the depths.

​@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 that's insanely terrifying to think that it was directly below you without your knowledge

[@LordRayken]

@@ChrisM-qo1jc What bothers me more is imagining some kind of weird head was above the water from your side looking at you and you didn't notice it and it went back under the water.

"Don't turn back... Please, don't turn back..."

Wow amazing work on this ❤

[@HappyMatt12345]

I like how the leviathan doesn't even try to eat you because why would it? You're too tiny relative to it to provide it enough calories to even be worth the effort. It's much more like the boat you were in made it curious so it decided to knock it over and see what happened.

[@MrTotty]

I once again regret watching something I knew was going to send shivers down my spine. Great effects

[@pazyguts]

idk why but the fact it doesnt have a jumpscare, and just the realistic feeling of the ocean its just more terrifying

[@TrySomeFish]

People often confuse being scared and being startled. No cheap jump scares here, just genuine fear.

How Leon Felt fighting the lake monster

[@bombjelly5795]

Watching this in bed with one eye barley open. Squinting my eyes to try to blur the vision a bit. Ha volume down too. And I was so glad there wasn’t a scare at the end. The whole video was scary

[@johnlungo8080]

One of my biggest fears is exactly this video lmao. Something about seeing a creature in the water, then going under and seeing just how massive they are as they swim into blackness is terrifying.
