[SFM] A Christmas Visitor

Living in an isolated cabin during winter sounds quite comfy. Until you get an unexpected visitor, that is.

(Late) Happy Holidays and (late) Happy New Year! 😅 This video was long overdue and I'm glad it's finally out! Original videos are always a challenge for me, especially when it comes to pacing and all that. I initially planned it for early to mid January but unfortunately my computer broke for about a week while working on it and I lost around 3 minutes of animation that I had to remake from scratch, which set me back quite a bit. Either way, I hope it was worth the wait!

11:13 this scene. the way it walks is so surreal and disturbing, and the added shadow of snow that covers it is really nice. the added detail of him having to rack a bullet since he never did that after his first shot is great. 13:13 *THIS SCENE.* the near silence, the final reveal of the monster's sheer size, the silhouettes, his horrified face, it's all so good

[@Surkee]

I'm happy to hear those scenes were as impactful as I tried to make them!

[@archdornan81]

@@Surkee Haha, I kept whispering to myself, “Keep the gun ready!”

[@DeathAssasin57]

I agree, I love the ending. The way how the other guy doesn't even say anything, just points behind him. The silence is what really help sell it imo

the absolute great detail of him shooting a round, then forgetting to rechamber until he tries to shoot again, is outstanding

[@mcalkis5771]

This is the type of videos I adore. No narration, no jumpscares, no silliness. Just letting the horror speak for itself. Also I'd have preferred it if you waited a bit longer before showing the monster.

[@VergilTheomega]

I love videos without jumpscares it makes it so much more surreal but I do like the main character having a voice

[@paratrooper508]

ok but what did the horror actually say? monster touch head fall down go boom?

[@cancop]

You can tell an animation is good when you find yourself watching it at 5am before it's light outside and it gives off a primordial creep factor that makes you keep only the bottom half of the video on your screen as you prepare to dive into the safer trenches of the comments section.

Thank you! :)

[@ItzaLukkeri]

I love the long shots where you’re left to look at whether there’s something in the background. Although I didn’t notice anything, seeing how the thing looked, I’m left to wander if it was creeping among the trees.

[@joghnythegurue2710]

Amazing! The subtle off-ness of the first creatures "Hello." and the second's movements, the fantastic atmosphere and sound design, the lack of jumpscares and the fact you put in the effort of having snow ACTUALLY ACCUMULATE ON HIS HAIR AND CLOTHES!

[@nhb6493]

LETS GOOO NEW VIDEO

[@drinkingboron]

I can't tell if this guy is just going insane or if this is really happening, and I love it

[@stupidratt]

I'd say really happening, I haven't even watched the video but all of this other guys animations have it REALLY happen. Like a time-loop, infinitely waiting, ETC.

[@SUBMERGED880]

i've got such a big post-apocalyptic vibe that i want a whole series about this

[@TheStratsfoe]

Little shit like him scooting the bucket over with his foot to put the logs in is why I love your animation so much. Small human detail like that really sell it so well.

[@commitfelonyfeline]

7:55 - 9:13 With the wide angles, the windows in shot, you expect something to pop up, especially when he lowers his rifle. when NOTHING happens, the tension is maintained in a bone-chilling air until the music starts. You breathe a sigh of relief. THEN, IT POPS UP. You never get a good look at it. Fucking art.

[@Pawelandbajer]

Creepy af. However, even if you run out of bullets you never drop your gun. You may always use it to melee someone. Also, what does this story represent? I wonder...

[@hanscatzer3rd294]

maybe panic attacks/unreasonable fear? here, the monsters don't actually do anything. the tall guy probably doesn't attack our protagonist, and the little pat they did... maybe it was just a pat and the protagonist just passed out/ died from fear?

Awesome seeing your channel growing man, work like this really shows how talented you are. Been saying it since your first horror SFM, great stuff and keep it up man :)

[@Surkee]

I'll do my best 💪

[@archdornan81]

The lack of music and talking, just ambience. This is definitely a masterpiece that is better than anything I have ever seen in the SFM world before.

[@luissantiago5163]

So good to see another upload. Hope things are going awesome. That was damn amazing. Awesome work!! Pacing was crazy good and I didn't know what to expect at every turn

[@amel888]

This was SO worth the wait and then some! I love winter stories and this one.. is just so perfect. It's so clear how good you've gotten at animating, I'm so impressed, this was an amazing watch. My theorist brain is going with this. Did he kill the guy in the blue coat? Hence why the note asks if he's been a good boy? So seeing him again isn't just seeing him as a monster but him facing the living representation of his guilt and what he'd done? That's the vibes I got. The continuous shots to the axe and the gun he has, the fact that one of the monsters looks like another person. it all radiates vibes that our protagonist did something

[@HopeReviews]

Dude the cinematography in this is amazing!

No matter how far off this was from winter, it's still a wonderful SFM video, the cinematography, the ambient sounds, the atmosphere and the animation itself! i loved how has a different model for being covered in snow, and the guy's expressions and mannerisms are so well communicated, i feel like if you used more hi-res detailed models and textures, this could passs off as realistic.

Animation feels pretty natural and fun

[@JoeAlFoBet]

I have a theory! I think the main character is a murderer! When that piece of paper said, “Have you been a good boy?” It gave us a shot of the axe, I believe that he killed someone with the axe! He even looked at the axe, showing us he knows what it’s talking about! And the man with half his face cute off is most likely the ghost of the guy he killed! So when that tall thing touched our main character, the guy fell down, maybe symbolizing his soul is at piece because his killer has been caught! That’s my theory anyway!

How to beat "The Christmas visitor" The best thing is not to go alone in to a desolated house in a snow storm if paranormal things start to happen just go,as we see there wasnt any way to phisicly hurt the creatures,the only option is to not be in range of hes paranormal attacks.

i think the monster was a stand in for being frozen to death, as in the very real an immenent threat the cold poses in the heart of winter to those living in such a bleak landscape, with the monster being essentially the grim reaper for those claimed by the cold

[@metafication]

@@mavmemes5341 its lost because this was over a decade ago - but the gist of it was Santa was a greaseball biker type with a red leather jacket. He kept deformed midgets (elves) chained up in a warehouse to make his presents. The climax of the story was a kid waking up to Santa breaking his front door open with a crowbar and rushing into his living room. The punchline was Santa pelting the kid square in the face with a small but heavy present, shouting “Merry Christmas!!” and running back outside to screech into the night on a Harley
