Trapdoor - A Gravity Falls Animatic

A real gravity falls animatic?? It’s been 800 years! This video is a very late bday present for my friends ‪@moonlightalpha1909‬ and ‪@sunshinewx5367‬ !
Hoo boi this one took me forever. Like seriously it was such a pain in my butt lol. I can’t decide if I like it yet or not. But anyway, I don’t wanna jinx it but I’m finally starting to feel some semblance of motivation again. So hopefully you won’t have to wait too long for more
Btw if you haven’t already go check out my Ao3. I’m not a great writer, but I have a few Stangst fics there lol

"Nothing kills a man faster than his own head". Oof, a bit too close to home, that line.

[@PrincessUnattainable]

Its amazing how tragic his life is, yet he is still mentally stable and he takes good care of Dipper and Mabel during the summer, and he managed to restart the portal!

[@Sancheroid]

After seeing this animatic my understanding of Stan Pines have reached maximum. I never thought that he might be hiding the grief of losing his brother, it made me cry, thank you

[@laurafurst490]

OHOHOHOOO right in the feels, no happy ending for good ol Stanley just one pit after another. Amazing animatic, I adore the style and composition. Bravo.

[@applefunfact]

his life is like the bottomless pit

[@nitstuff]

That scene when Stanley fell to the floor after talking to Ford finished me off. You have made me sad and I adore and thank you for it

[@martinawolf2983]

This goes hard, both the song and the animation. It fit perfectly with Stan's state of mind and actions. It's absolutely stunning.

...A TWENTY ONE PILOTS GRAVITY FALLS ANIMATIC??? IM IN HEAVEN RN

[@_cookiefanatic_3869]

This song goes so well with Stanley that it might as well be his theme song Also this is ✨ AMAZING ✨ 🤩🤩🤩

[@feyglaude8004]

I think this is the saddest Stan angst I saw it make me cry I love Stan so seeing him like that I can’t I just want to hug him so bad 😭

[@davisewing200]

I'm not crying just some times when I am sad water comes out of my eyes

[@dinopines9191]

OH MY GOD- my feelings :’) you never cease to impress me with your gravity falls animatics , especially the Stanley based ones to hit me right in the feels lol, you inspire me to make more gravity falls animations than I already have :)

[@jacky-rubou]

🥺🥺🥺🥺 aaaaaaaaaaaaa this song is perfect for Stan and you're hurting me! I knew it'd be good!!

[@crowtriestoanimate3334]

Oh my god I love this so much and the flickering between the pit and the portal at 1:45??? Just 👏✨

[@adriana_rose26]

The end hit HARD

[@РадаГаниева-щ1з]

You made me cry

[@Ciphertology]

I’M NOT CRYING, MY EYES ARE JUST TAKING A SHOWER.

[@nutella_wewerehere]

I am absolutely in LOVE with this. The idea of using Trapdoor for Stanley is SO creative, and really fits him SUPER well once you think about it. The new Book of Bill and its tie-in website has recently got me SUPER hyperfixated on Gravity Falls, and I'm LOVING all of this Gravity Falls content I'm now coming across, new and old. Love this!

[@therealsundew3840]

Once again, fits perfectly and once again you have managed to get a song stuck in my head with your beautiful art (and Stanst lol)!

[@featherywings797]

Oh my god this is such a MASTERPIECE!! I can't even begin to describe the feelings this invoked. This song fits Stan SO perfectly! Truly a master at your craft. So much talent and inspiration in one person. EXTRAORDINARY work!!!

[@kassandrapatrick9064]

Wow, well I just cried. Dang, the blue screen at the end was already so much, but then the article caught in the tree branches alongside the heartbreaking final scene. PlayersUnited never disappoints.

[@chilineskin]

AAAHHH I LOVE İTT❤ YOUR ART IS WONDERFUL

[@motheroftheuniverse6140]

Oh fuck this hit in all the right places! Amazing job as always! I love this so completely

[@scarperseus]

OMG YES ANOTHER AMAZING GF CREATION! Hit me right in the feels. Thx u for this amazing masterpiece

[@Lauradances06]

This is so amazing!!!

[@CathU500]

I will always adore your animatics so much And the gravity falls ones holds a special place in my heart

[@laurenhelton]

Just gets better and better!!! You are definitely going places!!! What a gift you have!

[@roxramsea]

I thought of one that might make a good animatic, Everything I Ever thought I knew (from the tangled tv show) really just gave me strong Stan vibes. I srsly love all your work :3

[@echofnaf1746]

Best one yet!!! Sad and amazing animation keep up the good work and.... GRAVITY FALLS!!!!!

[@izzyhutzel2530]

This is everything I love in one video holy shit

[@belovedbloodmoon]

Bro I wasn’t planning on having an existential crisis watching this but oh my gosh this is amazing

[@demonicchicken1121]

WHY YOU MAKE ME SAD? then again i probably shouldnt be complaining...

[@feerosetta]

It's only 9 AM where I am. I just woke up and this is one of the first things i saw today. Great start to the day with one of my favourite animators and my beloved traumatized boy. Incredible stangst content as always!

[@mysticshadow6094]

Ooooh, it's fantastic glass))) i need more😍😍😍

[@NerdOwlLover487]

my poor Stanley keeps hitting me right in the feels😢💖

[@dluebirb]

Like it's literally AMAZING! Excellent work, as per usual :))

[@averagecakeenjoyer980]

*Claps 10x the speed of light*

[@feyglaude8004]

And I think trapdoor is my new favorite song I will always remember Stan when I listen to it

[@onioncrow]

yessss this song is so perfect for him i'm crying aaaaaa

[@RiverDawn5]

Woah!! Awesome Job!! I remember back a year ago when I saw your first video, you've definitely been improving!!😄 I'm impressed!!😄 Always excited to see your videos, keep up the good work!!😄😄👍

[@lustlifedoesart1997]

Here’s an idea for a animatic! Mabel singing Never getting rid of me. I love this animatic! It truly shows how hard Stan works to keep up the mask. Keep up the good work!

[@rencrawford4025]

WOW?!??

[@NerdOwlLover487]

seriously, I want a man like Stan and Ford that understands the pain some of us go through so we can try to make other people feel better mentally

[@crowtriestoanimate3334]

No it’s fine I didn’t need my heart anyway QwQ

[@moonlightalpha1909]

Good LORD, THIS WAS SO FUN TO WATCH!! :D Totally worth the wait! :3 I can't express with words how much I love your animatics, and just everything that you make in general, so I'm just gonna- X3 *Sobs violently as a stim just as violently* I'm really glad that you're starting to feel motivated again (knock on wood), feeling demotivated sucks, I would know!! XP Hopefully that means better health and more content! :P I'm almost glad that you forgot to mention Sun and I. U^U As much as I would’ve loved it, I don't want you stressing out over it. UwU No dwelling! (Funny coming from me though, heh)

[@PlayersUnitedArt]

OH MY GOSH I FORGOT C R A P I was so focused on finally getting something out aaAaah T^T I’ll fix it eeeE

[@moonlightalpha1909]

@@PlayersUnitedArt Aheheh, it's alright, really! XP I understand, I make mistakes like that all of the time, it's only natural. UwU But if you really wanna fix it, I won't stop you, pfft- X3

[@roxramsea]

Ahhhh I love it!

[@internetintrovert5540]

I’m currently working on a fic that’s loosely based on this animatic

[@PlayersUnitedArt]

Le gasp!!! Please send me a link, I’d love to read it!

[@sunshinewx5367]

YOOO THIS IS SO GOOD!! I'm so so sorry for not commenting earlier, but I love this to bits! Thank you so so much!! BUT FR LIKE OVERALL THIS FITS SO WELL AND YOU PORTRAYED IT SO WELL TOO You did really great!

[@fourth_wall_broken3550]

Holy zhit I just found this channel and have a lot of catching up to do! Your animatics are so good and clean and QHHH Don't suppose you've heard the song My Tears Richochet? I've always associated it with Stanley losing his memories and trying to figure out why Ford seems to be so upset with him gone (wear the same jewels when u buried me in line with how they swapped clothes)

[@cookiethehamster]

LUV ITTT

[@aligningducks5887]

WOAH. Just... *WOAH.* :0

[@ednafitzgerald3792]

Okay... 1. THIS IS AMAZING! 2. Love the song choice! The lyrics fit Stan's tragic journey perfectly! 3. The character's poses and expressions were very well-executed! 4. The ending where Ford has to "take him out" killed my heart. :') I have one little question though, the part where the screen shakes at 3:00? What's happening in this shot? I've tried pausing, but I can't quite make it out...

[@PlayersUnitedArt]

It’s a close up of his mouth screaming from the side! Thank you for the kind words!

[@ednafitzgerald3792]

@@PlayersUnitedArt You're very welcome! :] Thanks for answering my question! I SEE it now! WOW! It adds another level of intensity to the whole thing! Brilliant work! (I swear, I need help. I've had this animatic on loop for almost half an hour...>w

[@PrincessUnattainable]

Dang, Gravity Falls, Twenty One Pilots AND angst? I guess I'ma finish my weekend crying 🙃 (don't worry, I'm fine lol)

[@5nightsatgengars830]

Keep up the good work 😊

[@5nightsatgengars830]

Poor Stan This is my life just good but depressing 😅😢

[@dluebirb]

Is it just me or does this song feel workshopped for Stan?

[@StarryOak76]

Can’t help but think that the man referred to in “Watch as this man disappears” after Stan and Ford look at the mirror isn’t Stan in that one…

[@glitchymanoreo2846]

WAIT WHAT'S YOUR AO3?? I REALLY WANNA CHECK OUT YOUR FANFICS :D

[@PlayersUnitedArt]

It’s just PlayersUnited lol. Have fun!

[@magentasky234]

Can you put a flash warning in the title please?

[@Moxalotl12]

I love it but we're is his beard or is he young in the video

[@PlayersUnitedArt]

He has a beard haha but since there’s no coloring I can’t really show it without a ton of hassle or it looking messy. That combined with my kinda cutesy style can make him look younger than he is. But colored he looks older!

[@the-car-fucker]

That was so good ^^
