pros animated a horror film in gartic phone (no time limit) 

Please go and check out all the people involved and their work! Links in description. This was so wild yo do! If you have other ideas you would like to see us do let me know here!

Jesus Christ, this shows you how long it takes to animate 2 minutes (ish) of animation, well over 11 hours with over a dozen people, yes it is mostly all interpretative and would go a lot faster if they could see all previous frames but still- it shows the amount of effort needed for animation, so thank you Ross and team for your hard work

At this point, Gartic really should start sponsoring Ross to do projects like this

They spent 13 hours to give us maybe 13 seconds of greatness... This guy has made me want to get into animation so bad, props to them.

I would gladly trade sleep for this masterpiece

In scene 1 Ross finally achieved his dream of a complete walk cycle.

This explains to me why Masaki Yuasa let animators do whatever they want in the movies, it gives such a nice touch and more directors should do it!!

As amazing as this is (and has been) for us, the viewers, I can only imagine how elated the developers of gartic phone must be with how much you guys continue to push the boundaries of what their game is capable of

props to his editor for going through 13 hours of footage and putting together the animation.

I'm sorry but the Tetris break was the best part of the whole process. Gotta give the animators their enrichment before going back to slaving away at their masterpieces

52:20 Hope no one skipped the ending. It looks so beautiful when put together.

Who needs to go to animation school when I can learn the entire animation process from these wonderful animator! From all of us, thank you for putting this together Ross and to all the animators who put there time into this project! HAPPY HALLOWEEN 👻

At this point, Ross and everyone else involved should start a group channel where they make animations together. Their teamwork and communication is seriously on another level, I'm not just saying that.

45:50 it's everyone's body, after suffering through six hours of (nearly) nonstop animating. Well done all of you, that's some amazing animation work.

just gotta say it’s underrated how they let the mask slip off of the pointer finger and THEN the floor

A large Discord call with nobody yelling and screaming, hell yeah

I’m going to learn to animate soon, and surprisingly, this video was pretty helpful lol. Basically a real-time step by step process of how each drawing comes together. One of the most helpful things was how they did the pacing by tracing the image before so it holds for longer. (I used to think animators just paused their video for a little bit and sped it up on parts they wanted to show fast movement lol)

My interpretation: The first bit is metaphorical while the last bit is literal. Whoever the body is at the end, that person traumatized the main girl is some fashion (abusive partner, bully, assailant, whatever), figuratively killing her. The main girl then literally kills them in an act of revenge.

Alright time to just make an animation studio at this point

Next: pros make a friggin movie in gartic phone

I know I am two years late to the party here, but this is so incredible! The acting in the mask dropping to the floor, the weight of the axe in all of the shots, all of it was so cool!!

Currently my favorite scene is the mask falling. It's so smooth and looks like it's been ripped from a horror movie. Would love to see something like this again!

Literally the greatest collab I've ever seen! Amazing work guys!

Y’all are just a straight up animation studio at this point, this is so awesome

I hope people realize now how hard it is to animate something and appreciate it more

I LOVE this. It’s SUPER impressive how everyone was able to keep their focus and motivation throughout the process :)

yoooo this is amazing!! y’all are such an inspiration!

Ross and his friends are the only animation-tubers I can think of who would go through the effort of spending 10 hours making a horror film...in Gartic Phone.

Someone hire these people to make an entire full length movie in gartic phone before big corporations get them

I love how in the movie part (not the brake sequence) the only color is red for the blood which I just find amazing.

and that kid, is what we call a masterclass

This was an amazing effort by everyone involved! The timing on the shots, the small details like how the shoulders led the movement on the chopping scene, and just the overall consistency makes this a great film. Special shout-out to DasGnomo for her frames, they consistently blew me away!

My headcanon is definitely about the girl having an internal fight with herself since both the victim and killer have the same face. This fight leads to the "killing" of a personality/bad memory due to something, the killer in this story is the "present self"/the "current self" while the victim is the "old self". The dog mask has a special role to this storytelling and the hand shaking (52:57) as she is a little bit remorseful for killing her past self. And sorry in advance if there is any error because i'm not a native speaker. Interpretation 1 : *The girl is changing herself for the future.* Everyone experienced this including me that is why I interpreted it like this, both the dog mask and the victim could be the girl's childish nature. The killer is killing the past self, the childish nature, because it's not important anymore or becomes a hindrance in the eye of the girl when growing up. The killer wearing the mask could be interpreted as if she is mocking the victim/her past self to be so childish in this age and time, the killer then drops the mask with the "victim's" body so her childish nature will be truly left behind. Additionally the hand shaking could be interpreted as, "is this really the answer?" as her childish nature could be her true self instead something that she's trying to become. Interpretation 2 : *The girl is burnt out.* Doing something you love over and over again will make you hating it, the dog mask/killer here could be interpreted as the girl's hobby and the victim as the "feeling" that enjoys doing the hobby. Because of repetition, the same hobby that makes the girl happy becomes something that is just... eh. Making it not fun anymore. Interpretation 3 : *The girl is overcoming her breakup.* Saying goodbye to the person that you love is always painful, the dog mask/killer here could be interpreted as the girl's trust and or cheery nature while the victim is herself and her ex. the first half the victim has the same face as the killer, this could say that she is blaming herself for falling in love with her ex. the second half when the victim died, it could signify the victim laying on the floor is now the ex and the "death of the victim" is "forgetting the ex". then the killer left her mask near the body as if to "leave behind" that feeling so that she will never easily trust other people again. The supporting evidence is on 52:50 and 53:11, where the killer took out the heart (like y'know heartache heartbreak) and the victim hair color changed from white to black this could signify the ex's hair color. well that is surely long, I should have done my college essay than writing this lmao

Insane dedication to an amazing project! Throughout the entire thing I couldn't wait to see the finale. another project like this would be SICK

Who would've thought gartic phone animations would be a totally viable option for doing animation

All that time for a short animation was SO worth it! Good job!!

45:57 my interpretation is that they're actually the one who killed Markiplier

Honestly I just want to watch how Juny turns random drawings in to bad ass action scenes, that's the most entertaining part🙌🙌🙌

Considering this took 17 people and over 10 hours just to make a maybe 10 to 15 second short. It gives you an idea on how much longer it takes just to make 1 episode of an animated series. take them atleast a good month to make maybe a 5 minute video.

I love how an among us bean always makes it into an episode

it's crazy see how all of you had the motivation to keep animating for 6 hours, you must love this so much

4s makes every scene flows slower, and that helps a hell lot with tensión, crudeness, jankyness and terror. loved it!

From what I've seen in these seconds it looks sick! Edit: thanks for likes :D

31:00 The door stole the floor’s lines.

You all did amazing! The amount of work and effort is appreciated and applauded! My interpretation of the short is that she was running away from something that she didn't want to do and ended up cornering herself (literally and figuratively), killing off the fake happness that she appears to be showing (when in reality she is hates doing what she does), and leaves behind the false version of herself in order to be happy and be true to what she wants. The killer wore a dog mask not to be seen as loyal and trustful to those who view her as that, but to protect who she really wants to be and get rid of the false versions that make her unhappy. The killer is killing the false version of herself because she no longer wants to live as what other people see her to be; only to live how she wants to be. Or it could be like a Rick and Morty episode with clones and such and I'm way off the mark.

This was soooooo awesome! At the end when it was revealed I would have personally loved if you guys drew a custom halloween themed Gartic phone page to display the animation within so that it could be kept in it's original ratio rather than being blown up to fit the frame.

Film starts at 52:20. Also wow that took a lot of work and great job to everyone who made that film!!! :)

THE MASK DROP SHOT WAS SO PERFECTTTTT

Love how any animation errors can just be explained with "Yeah, it's symbolism or some shit, y'know?"

That was _beautiful_ to watch, from the process leading up, to the final product-! I think watching everyone working on it added a little layer of extra emotion and triumph to the reveal in the end- amazing!

Ross in 2 years making an entire 5 season series in gartic phone

I love the superhero discussion, I’m a huge comic nerd and whenever someone talks about comics I feel so happy so I’m glad my favorite animators were talking about it. :)

HOLY COW THIS TURNED OUT AMAZING

This turned out really amazing! Everyone is the MVP (hug)

Dude, this was beyond amazing! I don't think the creators of Gartic Phone ever imagined their creation would be used for something as ambitious as this! Everyone involved did a fantastic job and I hope you do more of these sometime! Sub-freaking-scribed!

I actually died watching this (in a good way ofc) i am screaming. something about this kinda animation makes me so damn happy and exited and inspired

i LOVED THAT, also the walls looked like they were breathing which fit the whole horror vibe VERY WELL

My god, that was phenomenal. The music, the atmosphere, the animation, the sounds. 100/100, would watch again!

Why do I want a full movie on this

This is actually so inspirational. Makes me as an artist want to create and dream bigger.

46:57 Literally almost fell off my bed. You guys are freaking amazing, by the way. I strive to be as skilled as you all. ❤ God bless.

I've been listening to these while making animations for an rpg i've been working on, very enjoyable. Wish I could stay on model like some of these animators

This was such an ambitious project, it was incredible to see it being made and the end result! This is the kind of content we need more of on RU-vid. People coming together to create out of passion for the project and mutual respect. Everyone involved should be incredibly proud ❤❤

I can’t stop rewatching the finished project

This was so much fun to be a part of!!! I hope we do more of these in the future ^___^

This has got to be one of the longest Gartic Phone game

The dedication 😔👌

SO AMAZING!!! Ive been binge watching all the gartic phone vids, I’m so inspired to animate now T_T!

All I can say is: I LOVE IT! EVERYONE THAT WORKED ON THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE! I aspire to be able to do something like this one day

I like how they calls themself pros when they are literal legends

Ok you should all be so proud! That’s amazing! You can really feel the weight of the killer, and fear in the victim’s eyes, and just… the blood, everything! That’s so insane! Give yourselves kudos! That was just! Wow!

A lot of the time I'll just have RU-vid videos open in the background on another monitor while I'm playing a game or shopping or whatever else I'm doing, but with these I just feel so engaged and I want to watch every second of it because you all make it so entertaining.

This is genuinely so cool

Hi twitch, great work everyone ya went and killed Ross with the axe in the cabin lol. My favorite scene was the walk away from the Mirror that was great with the little jitter from taking a step.

This was absolutely insane and the fact you could jam 12 hours worth of work into one video is just as insane!

Meanwhile some people still think full anime episodes can be done in a week. (Fantastic job btw, this is super ambitious, can't wait to see the end result) 52:20 I'm saving the big reveal for when I can properly give it the full attention it deserves. I've been mostly using the video as background noise while working. Brb Update: I'm back, that was incredible. You wouldn't have guessed it was made in gartic phone. It was so consistent and extremely well done. The only off thing was that window frame and the lightning was kinda weird but other than that, insanely high quality.

Its insane how much effort goes into a short animated film

I CANNOT imagine the time and effort that went into this omg. This deserves so many more views and likes!!

Petition to make this a full youtube original movie with this part as part of the trailer. Claim your "I WANT IT!!!" Ticket.

this makes me respect animators so much more, the time that goes into things like these is insane, really great video!

This deserves so much more love this is amazing

This is ABSURDLY COOL and impressive holy shit ngl I kinda teared up watching the final product after watching the whole process, I cannot IMAGINE how great this must have been for all of you who put in such incredible time and work to see it through wowow

Interpretation: The girl felt like she was the person being chased, but it turned out that she was the one doing the murder. Either she was psychotic and wanted to feel the fear of the person so they pretended they were the person, or they had some sort of disorder that changed their mindset. But either way, the person who died is definitely not the girl, because the outfit and hair are different there. And the girl who is the murderer looks much more like the girl being chased.

THAT WAS SO AMAZING TO WATCH!!

Tons of work for an insanely smooth result. 11/10 P.s. Love the break time drawings.

WAIT I JUST NOTICED TELEPURTE WAS IN THIS idk why that surprised me so much lmao

That was a beautiful experience to have watched. Such dedication into the craft.

my god! that was probably the best hour that i've spent watching one of these gartic video's! amazing job and many thanks to everyone involved, you are all amazingly talented people and i honestly cannot wait to see what you guys come up with in the future :)

Y’all talking about Superman 18:22 made me think of how my great grandfather could of been the 1st Superman he lived near LA any looked like a Clark Kent in old photos but he didn’t wanna leave his family so he denied

52:20 Full animation Watch the whole process, if you haven't though. It's well worth it!

The reveal just gives me big welcome to nightvale kill your double vibes

Daaaamn. That's incredible. It always amazes me how well things blend even with different animators.

i havent heard ross talk in years, he sounds completely different without his accent i didnt even know i was on his channel lmao

For the dude who made all might, i lov u, you just draw literally one of my fav characters in mha The same with the one who drew sans lmao JAJAJAJA

This was amazing!!! I can't imagine how this must have felt when it was done, absolutely amazing everyone who worked on this project!

oh my god THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN SOMETHING LIKE THIS i would want more of these please but don't burn yourselves out

I've been wanting to try animating my characters for a while now and watching this video has really motivated me! You all did an amazing job!!!

Them talking about Superman made me so happy.

This came out amazing! Hard to put into words, that was a whole damn experience

As much as I loved the whole thing I think my favorite was the ears. I mean chefs kiss
