[SFM] L4D2 - DARK CARNIVAL #1 - THE HIGHWAY

[@alalvarez7301]

its always good when L4D2 get some SFM love. Here's hoping the "never makes it to finale" curse doesn't affect ya too, eh? I'll be gladly keeping an eye out for this.

[@iwasjustcomingoutheretopic8598]

Yep, this curse has happened 2 times before, let's hope bro can hang in there, at least for a while.

[@quetesealeve]

What does that curse mean?

[@iwasjustcomingoutheretopic8598]

@@quetesealeve Their was a creator years ago doing a Left 4 Dead animation series, her name was Beejie Bean, she made it from Dead Center all the way to The Passing but once she finished the Passing she never made another animation again she said she had gotten depressed and suddenly lost her will for animating it, she hasn't made a video at all since making that final The Passing animation, it's been 4 years... 3 years later another creator under the name Apostle7 who made a series continuing from Dark Carnival they went and did 4 maps of Dark Carnival but never did the finale as they said they suddenly lost the will to keep doing Dark Carnival as they didn't want to do only Left 4 Dead, they skipped Swamp Fever and went to Hard Rain and again they did 4 of the maps and even brought back scrapped infected for their animations but again never made it to the finale leaving another message saying that they could not do the finale do to plans, they know they had gotten high views from doing Left 4 Dead but said "I just don't see the point in continuing on...", a year later since that video they made one last animation 4 weeks ago titled AMN: The Golden Prophecy not related to Left 4 Dead, at the end of it they left a message saying "Thank you for watching to the end you are the best :)... Now goodbye" implying this would be their last animation and that they quit. 2 years before the Beejie Bean accident there was another Left 4 Dead animator named LoneWolfHBS who made a non-canon story following the Left 4 Dead survivors and various other video game characters such as Ellie from Last of Us, They made one whole season consisting of 8 episodes and 10 short videos connecting to those episodes, after the series ended they made a video titled "White Lie(The name of the series) Future Vids + Preview in which he explains he would make a series of what ifs following the story and a blooper for each episode of it, he said he probably would not make a direct sequel because most of the characters died and their not enough alive to continue the story, but right after that video he uploaded the first blooper but, he had not posted a video ever since that one, it's been 6 years... Their was one more creator names FlowMotionStories who had posted one animation of the Sacrifice and leaving a preview behind posted after said animation but after that he had stopped uploading for a year, people honestly though he was dead but he replied to one comment made 8 months ago just saying "Lol I am alive and well... animating is just extremely time and energy consuming." We may still have hope and it might really just be taking A LOT of time for him to make the 2nd part, I mean it was really well made and it was even in 4k. So far tho we have had nothing since, his last video was 2 years ago... So as you can see, the curse has been around for a while on many animators who had been doing Left 4 Dead based SFMs, I recommend checking out all of these people listed, they worked really hard on their respective animations. We still have TeiCleM, but same his animations take a while to be finished, he is currently doing No Mercy so let's have faith in him. If I could I would make a Left 4 Dead SFM series and would make it my duty to finish every chapter of both Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 but I seem to have no way of doing that right now. So yeah the curse has been around for a LONG time.

[@alalvarez7301]

@@quetesealeve Almost all adaptations of L4D2 campaigns to an SFM Machinima format have fizzled out, or been cancelled, exactly before the finale took place. Only Dead Center has a concrete "finale".

[@duyphan4617]

​@@alalvarez7301yeah. It's understandable for the creators as they have their personal things to attend to, though

[@duyphan4617]

Always love that we have more l4d sfm makers following Beejie Bean 😊. Good job, folk.

[@zecoreYT]

I hope you can go to the concert

[@NotWoeful]

gonna try to lol

[@zecoreYT]

@@NotWoeful goodluck g👍

[@mgigamestyle]

Best of luck as well 🙏🏽

[@My_Bones_Hurt]

Good luck man, but so far I’ve only seen one person make a whole sfm campaign by themselves and make it good.

[@nkadabest4881]

Please be one who finishes this kind of series everyone else just left it in middle unfinished

[@NickDaTiger]

This takes me back when I was looking forward for someone to animate Dark Carnival. Since Beejie Bean wasn't able to make one I'm happy that there are people who are able to just like you. Kudos to you my man.

[@Walkers_Films]

For someone who's soon gonna start on his own cinematic l4d2 serie, it's good to see some material first

[@FrancisL4D]

What campaign are you planning on doing?

[@Walkers_Films]

@@FrancisL4D Dead Center, so we start at the beginning and end with The Parish. And yes, even tho it will take me years... I'll finish the whole story

[@Ohganlon]

Goddam. A year later and you weren't kidding, the best l4d2 animation I've seen yet.

[@deaththekid7626]

With Beejie passing the Torch to Apostle..It seem he has Chosen You to Continue where They couldnt..

[@Paccyd33]

I prefer this guy to apostle cause apostle tried to do his own thing instead of adapting it normally

[@zzbear52]

dude you have no idea how long i have been waiting for this thank you.

[@Iamnothappi]

you got a lot of talent mister, hopefully you can make it to the end of the campaign, good luck!

[@jawsplayz]

now that i think about it, i just noticed how what canonically happens is what happens in the trailer

[@roseelerion1848]

The NickxRo ship has been living in my head rent free and I am so happy to see a glimpse of them together (even if it was a crumb lol).

[@jam-ham-handed]

These remind me a lot of beejie bean l4d2 sfm videos, and after watching your dead center sfm you were definitely inspired by her.Also these may not be the best quality animation but despite that these are still amazing, keep up the great work.

[@NotWoeful]

inspired to finish what she couldn't, Nothing more

[@ashblatt]

​@NotWoeful what happened to her or her channel though?

[@jam-ham-handed]

@@ashblatt she got burned out from making animations and stopped making videos.

[@Paccyd33]

@@NotWoefuldo you think you’ll end up finishing the whole game?

[@NotWoeful]

yeah

[@tailsfnf-21]

How is this guy not at 10k this is a really good sfm of l4d2

[@CheemsTheSamurai01]

I don’t care about the realism, I care about this video finnaly getting released! I have been waiting for these moment

[@tofferooni4972]

Good job, youve clearly made great progress so far, and i cant wait to see your future works. I suggest using more music during the quiet moments such as in the beginning of campaigns to set the tone. I love the animations of horde combats and dialogue, though in my opinion the “lets go, lead the way, follow me… yes” moments do feel a little awkward, might just be the little unnatural silent gap between the lines.

[@pine9218]

I came from beejie beans videos, and this is nice continuation.

[@Astmadeus]

Another L4D2 series, i am happy about it❤

[@Animamers]

i love this, animation is slowly improving, but at some points, the camera is too close if yk what i mean, and well theres not much particles :p Either way i love your work man!!

[@zoomerix_]

Beejie was so hard for her to make all series left 4 dead 2 because her passing remastered finale part took so long and too bad about her its been like 7 years or 5 years😅😅😅

[@aa14aa84]

keep up the good work man never give up ur videos will blow someday

[@coach4813]

We all gotta shoot the tank, ya hear me?!

Animation: 4.5 of 5 Still looking stiff but an over all good start for a sequel from the Pass chapter. Pacing: 3 of 5 Your pacing is a bit slow at times, so try to improve that. Still though, your videos will improve in time. Just keep it up.
