The Inside Waltz - Secret Life Animatic

Accept your fate.
Hey guys!
I'm back with another short animatic. This one is supposed to be mysterious... Not sure if I managed to make it that way but anyway, here we go!
In this one I wanted to show a bit of my theory that The Life Series is all made by The Watchers and they have control over it. Whenever they are bored, they make another season just to see people suffer. And, to punish Grian by the way because of the way he messed with them in Evo SMP and how he rejected to be one of The Watchers.
That's why a lot of Watchers symbols appear in the video. Oh, and also the eyes. And there's also some minecraft alphabet....
I experimanted with transitions a bit in this one. I was really nice to animate whis as I love Bo Burnham and his unique songs.
That's all I wanted to say here I guess... I hope you enjoyed!

Love it! :0 The galctic says "enjoy", "why would you read this lmao", and by only translating the first part i guess "the reward is more, the risk is great, let me open the door, accept your fate" btw for anyone wondering

Thank you so much, I absolutely struggle when content creators use anything but english

@@JUST_JAN3 You're welcome!

[@otherworldlyhope]

I love when the secret keeper shifts into the evo symbol at 0:38

[@KotkaMaj]

I'm so glad I'm in this fandom, there's so much masterpieces everywhere ❤

[@Bubblywatertastesliketvstatic]

There are! I have to say, the life series fandom is amazing at fanart and anamations. Don’t know why, but there’s so much amazing stuff!!

[@laurabaumgartner3085]

You did a great job! It's awesome how the watcher symbols kept popping up all over. And the final scene with the 3 who died was a bit eerie. 😮 While I'm happy that Timmy finally broke the curse I am sad that it was Lizzie who went out first. And how Mumbo died was . . . poor Mumbo is all I can say about it. 😢😢

[@lilyt5579]

I believe this video is more fitting for this lovely rhyme: Her anger rivaled the moon Her death gives another a boon Our anger always burns brighter She took the place of another Rebellion is what the canary sings We now clip his wings He will answer the call Though she delayed his fall Watch as the sun always rejects The former allies he couldn't protect Despite his friends' servant hearts His decisions tear them apart You strayed from the path Now all shall face our wrath Heed the warnings we now sing Before we take freedom's wings

[@klbzplb]

im really digging the creepy mysterious vibe of this! great song choice, love the art, amazong everything

[@luckystiff5695]

crazy how this isn’t the first time grian’s actions took jimmy and mumbo out of the series in rapid succession

[@CHEESEPUFF_7]

This is amazing, but in a different way to how I usually see it. An amazing execution of the vibe of the video (the art and music combined)

[@mushroom_cow_]

Amazing work as always! A lovely calming animation!

[@deinodinosuchus]

that part where lizzie, jimmy, then mumbo show up legitimately made me tear up. they fell so quickly and it was so sad :( they were all so easily preventable and mumbo’s death was so frustrating that it was the fence posts he put up as a joke earlier, lizzie’s was sad because it took so long to notice and joel was devastated, and jimmy’s was horrible because even though he wasn’t the first to die, he died so soon after the first as if the watchers felt they needed to “fix” it and continue the suffering. i’m so glad i got into this series when i did because WHEW the amount of masterpieces people create for it is WONDERFUL!! (for context, i started into it maybe some few months ago? i’d been into grian’s hermitcraft series for a few years, but when i started the life series i was absolutely captivated and still am by the series and the INCREDIBLE creations people make and how awesome everyone here is 🥺😭🥰)

[@rosesaysmeow8358]

dude, I've been obsessed. you should watch all the life series. Grian has the first four as movies on his Too Much Grian channel

[@deinodinosuchus]

@@rosesaysmeow8358 i have seen them all!! :D now i've just been mostly watching different perspectives cuz there's so many

[@rosesaysmeow8358]

@@deinodinosuchusnoice! tell me which is your favorite

[@deinodinosuchus]

@@rosesaysmeow8358 mmm it’s really tough to say cuz i love them all 😭 i think my top two might be double life and third life, but i really love the others soooo that doesn’t mean a ton LOL. but limited and secret life are also both epic for lore content. what about your favorite?

[@rosesaysmeow8358]

@@deinodinosuchusi love all of them, but my top two are last life and limited life. 3rd life i love, but it's just so sad on every pov i've watched so... and double life was very short. this season has given me anxiety lol. double life boat boys was iconic

[@TuneRMX323]

Amazingly haunting

[@Summer12_Studios]

This is so cool! Everyone looks great!👏🏼

[@timwoods2852]

RIP the reds who all died in the same day. You will be missed.

[@OrangeJuice33]

I love the timing on everything, the music choice is so fun!

[@yonnycytter]

This really gives me the creeps (in a good way)

[@bananas8762]

Random storyline idea: Grian was playing on Hermitcraft season six when he found a Watcher's Symbol on the side of his base in obsidian, as a reminder that the watchers were still there...somewhere. In his anger and fear, he used his diamond pickaxe to attempt to rip apart the Symbol, and failed. All he could achieve before his pickaxe broke was stretching apart the two dots. Grian went to retrieve another pickaxe, but when he came back, the symbol was gone. I don't know, it just sounded cool.

[@mo_dragons19]

I likes it, you executed the vibes good

[@emberdragon3436]

oooooooh creepy life series watcher vibes my favourite

[@cleanbeanArt]

Great music choice, and fantastic editing. I really like the atmosphere of the whole thing.

[@Fox_YT43]

So freaking good!!! Enjoyed this thoroughly.

[@biznificant]

Wow.

[@UnkownWonders]

Amazing animatic, keep up your amazing work

[@DrawingWithKeeks]

I LOVE ITT!!

[@TheCatQueenGG]

Oh my this is so cool!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@theLemonaide]

somone translate those runes 😭 THIS IS AMAZING

[@HarmonyMoonbeam024]

YEEEESS! I’m actually trying to decode galactic at this very moment so translations would totally help. I’ve figured out only two words here which are “The” and “Is.” They are the first and third words at 0:52

[@Leezz_I]

It says "enjoy", "why would you read this lmao", and by only translating the first part i guess "the reward is more, the risk is great, let me open the door, accept your fate" :)

[@theLemonaide]

thanks guyssssss

[@Indigo_dingo]

oh no yall figured it out already D: LMAO it's fine

0:32 Me: reads/translates the galactic the galactic: why would you read this lmao me: 🥲

[@PKiroul_]

"Why would I read this?" I'm just curious lmao. Jokes aside, this is amazing!

[@Oosuhkoi]

Why? Because curiosity. 😝

[@SparrowNR]

Talented animation, great understanding of timing. A bit hrm about the headshots starting at .43, though (Etho with huge pointed ears? A bit odd considering he's used a skin based off Naruto''s Kakashi for a decade, which implies nothing like that... to say nothing of the fact that Gem, who is a lackadaisy person despite her rep, has an uncharacteristically sinister smile in her headshot). Artistic interpretation stands, though, so head on.

[@Rustleaf]

This is sick! I didn’t realise that the secret keeper looked like a woman! (Or is that just your own design?)

[@Indigo_dingo]

well, it can be interpreted in many ways! While drawing the secret keeper I was looking at the build and imagining it either having hair or a hood on. Not sure which one I prefer tho!

[@ioanaiulianadumitru9455]

I forgot what I wanted to coment so i'm just going to say: Nice! and move on.
