[FNaF] Join Us For a Bite Remix - Behind The Scenes (The Living Tombstone)

Huzzah! We're back with another behind-the-scenes look at a music video done for The Living Tombstone! I had the pleasure of being the project director and producer of this project and I have a lot of things to show off!

Other than project management, my primary responsibilities were: Porting SFM Animations to Blender, Building the Environment, Lighting the Scene, Rendering, and Compositing (editing) nearly every scene in this music video. For a more in-depth look at specific scenes, please go to each animator's respective channels and see their own behind-the-scenes and breakdowns!

This might have been the hardest project I've ever had to do in the time frame that we had, but I'm so proud of everyone for being able to make it through to the finish line and make something as visually spectacular as this!

For clarification's sake, the video (except CODA's part) was all animated in Source Filmmaker and later exported and rendered using Blender Cycles by me. This was due to working on a tight schedule and wanting to have the flexibility of easy model editing and better lighting and rendering in Blender.

Because this was a workflow only I have really practiced on the team, a lot of my responsibilities went into porting everyone's SFM character animation to Blender, recreating their session in the new software, scenebuilding environments based on their sessions, lighting the environments/characters, render almost everyone's scenes, and edit/composite nearly every shot in this video. Due to this huge workload I put on myself, I definitely think this was the hardest video project I'd have ever done haha.

HUGE thank you to Coda and NOX for helping me render out the last shots needed on the final day!!!
A more detailed explanation for this workflow can be found on "This Comes From Inside's" behind-the-scenes video.

ive got to say, absolutely trumendous work on this! you guys should be extremely proud. the entire video is beyond impressing, the skill and creativity throughout the animation is truly something inspiring. ive found myself rewatching myself the video countless times a day since it came out, just sitting in shock wondering how you guys pulled off some of the shots as well as you did. Really want to take a moment to appreciate TFs work done here, from what i can tell you had to re-light set up and re-compose almost every single shot in blender? that is an EXTREMELY tedious process and im so glad yall went through the extra effort to showcase how beautiful blenders lighting and color can be. I could gosh about this entire animation shot-by-shot for hours, you all made something really impactful here! I really want to congratulate you all on the geniunely incredible work. well done!! :D

[Galdn]

This was BEYOND INSANE!! The fact that you guys were able to put together such an amazing work of art despite the tight schedule is INCREDIBLE!! Massive props to everyone that participated, you guys did an insane job!!

[SunnyJD]

This is so inspiring, i still can't grasp how come you can port character animations from SFM to Blender, sounds super complicated but you pulled it off so big kudos!! Great job on the project y'all!

[charlie]

Its amazing how expressive the animation is, its very human like but at the same time not crossing the characters physical boundaries. Literally insane how amazing the animation is!! 🤯❤️❤️

[blimbam]

seeing baby floating in the void at 1:01 made me laugh more than it should have

[galaxytraplikesfnaf]

THAT WAS AMAZING! All the efford put into this animation by SO MANY PEOPLE was honestly REALLY WORTH IT! Everything about this was undescribable!

[lydiadavis]

im ngl im not even in the fnaf fandom but im just astounded at the amount of work put into this music video. the detail poured into each and every shot is just incredible and I cant get over the quality of every aspect of it. like the camera work, the animation and character expressed in each animatronic, the creativity with the shots, all on top of some incredible vfx lighting on top of it is just absolutely inanse. really inspiring stuff I cant even put it into words.

[inventor]

If people garher anything from this is that, above raw art skill, the most important thing for such projects is always good team management and delegation of tasks

[pinknblackproductions]

This is the one I want to see a 4 hour game theory video on, you can see the lore and all the work that went into it. This is amazing, guys.

[djebrayass]

amazing work yall!! i keep rewatching & relistening, so cool to get an insight on who did what :)

[amaterasu]

The animation was done so well you guys were definitely putting in pain to get this done and you guys did so well i applaud everyone that helped make the TLT version of this song

Another behind the scenes! It’s been about awhile since we have seen a behind the scenes one and I haven’t been expecting to see this but hey I love surprises, anyways I gotta mention y’all nailed it on making a incredible and visual animation ! Y’all put many and many details throughout the video like the scene builds were incredibly amazing as I was so impressed with the effort everyone had put in … again you guys nailed it and have done a great job to make it an impressive animation towards us the audience.

Another note I would like to comment is you TFcraft have done a great job as a project director since you have really made this project look fantastic with all those editings and adding layers, also everyone who animated and participated did make an amazing job, everyone did and including you !

Also you have done a great job on presenting the process of the layers throughout multiple parts of the video!

Anyways I guess this is the end of my comment, thank you TFcraft and the team to produce an incredible animation ! I am really looking forward to see if there will be more like this in the future with living tombstone and to see more from your behind the scenes! Goodluck with everyone TFcraft and to everyone participated on making the visuals, y’all have a wonderful journey and an amazing day! :]]

[BeefWithTacos]

Absolutely beautiful work! I know nothing about animations, but I know that fluidity is super hard to get right, Wonderful job!

[pastapastajfollower]

I deeply looked up and still look up to all the animators in this video and seeing how far they all came is incredible, now working with big indie names like The Living Tombstone twice! I am very proud of all of you and you all knocked it out of the park, like how Yoav did too with the remix, everyone did incredible!

[chairgaming]

I give mad respects to people who can use blender and SFM this well, Ive tried using SFM and couldn't figure out how to actually use it

[tufuog]

2:15 the funtime foxy doing this old fnaf dance os 😭😭😭😭

[spikeworks]

everybody freaking out over funtimes foxy's dance but the final transition with foxy between lolbit and to static is amazing, i keep rewatching it as its truly amazing. it truly looks so good with the music and the animation is amazing

[raicyceprine]

the sheer understanding of perspective, lighting and other small details is what made this MV a masterpiece. The animation and the song itself are both addictive

[starstrukc]

Loved loved loooved how expressive the animation was! And the visuals are AMAZING !!🫶
