HE ALWAYS DOES - Five Nights at Freddy's Animated Afton Family Short

He always comes back.

Just a little disclaimer sorta thing, the video isn't actually rendered in 4K resolution. It's rendered in 1080p from Blender and exported as 4K to help reduce compression from YouTube. Please watch with the 4K setting for the best video quality!
I'm happy to present my first full Blender animation (since 2015). Working with Blender for animation is a lot easier than I anticipated, being able to create and add models on a whim when needed is most definitely a step up from Source Filmmaker. Aside from finishing older projects that have been started in SFM, I can see myself using solely Blender from this point onwards. It's something I'm very acquainted with due to modelling in it for years, and creating environments and scene building is something that my previous SFM videos lacked greatly, so this is something I definitely could learn. Working with curves and volumetrics was an interesting experience creating this video, being two things I had never really explored in-depth in Blender.
Apologies for the recent silence, as some of you know I've been working on my game recently (link in community tab). This will most likely be my last video for a while considering I'm sinking all time and resources into that.

Michael you Bastard it, s all your fault

[nuggtssfm]

love this take on William as a symbiotic pile of flesh like carnage

I'm head-over-heels in love with this interpretation of the Afton corpse. It's like William's soul still has control over his remains like his son but since it's little more than a viscera paste it can only move in unnatural ways but can control the suit like Ennard did to Michael. It's poetic and the little details like the teeth popping out but still moving along the floor is the icing on the cake.

Even if it's the garbage, Michael lifts the little finger like a good educated Brit who is XD

[WebbedWonder]

Absolutely love this and how it includes lore speculation, theory and facts.

Michael scrounging for scraps and food after Ennard excused himself from Michael’s body sounds exactly like something he’d do.

William being able to eject from the Springtrap suit and flop into a pile of flesh and just wrap around the Salvaged Suit is just so fascinating and a really good idea in general

10/10 animation, movements and overall story

[theooftroop]

oh my GOD this is freakin spectacular, I've always wanted to see an animated interpretation of Afton escaping the suit to go into the other one and this delivered in such an insane way. God words can't convey how amazed I am

[derikofthedead]

I was not expecting Springtap to turn into whatever the Hell THAT slug-like abomination was possessing that Scraptrap suit...truly terrifying. It does help us understand how Afton could be able to get into the Scraptrap suit despite quite literally being unable to actually take off the springtrap suit sing he was pretty much fused to it via getting springlocked...

[SuperWiiBros]

Been thinking of this amazing short for a while, finally found it again

[RTSXVI]

I am very much a fan of realism when it comes to horror, and this is the epitome of realism. Especially with how William is interpreted. It makes me think that William isn't just a parasite in the computer, but a parasite in the corpse too. Keep up the amazing work!

[iclynnx]

The way Afton's corpse just oozed out of Springtrap and wrapped itself inside of Scraptrap was so disgusting and COOL! Really well-made.

[comic_pear]

*God, this is beautiful. Also, the idea of William just being a sluggish mass of flesh and bone is both disgusting and amazing.*

[corkyg]

I like the idea of it gravitating away from the typical “afton’s wants to leave the suit but physically can’t” and instead goes for a more “he can leave the suit but he doesn’t as it supports what’s left of his body” I honestly think it’s a better alternative and the animation as a whole is just a masterpiece 👌

[advil]

I really like the concept of Afton being reduced to nothing but a less-than-human mess. It kind of makes sense of a few design flaws like the ankle guts and missing bone structure. It also embodies Afton as being dehumanized.

[OneBrainCellDog]

Everyones talking about how good it looks and how it almost “dehumanises him” but i think the best part is seeing his skull, showing that in the end he was just an ordinary human being, and the way his flesh is draped over it, almost like hes scared to lose the last part of himself that makes him a person, absolutely amazing animation

[NuclearCookie]

Honestly words can not describe how incredible this animation is just from the ideas and concepts alone.
From Michael roaming around streets at night scavenging for things to bring back to a shipping container (I think that's what that is) converted into a den, to the bizarre and visceral way as to how William switched from one form to the other. Incredible animation dude!

(Almost makes me wish for a mini series or something based around the Afton Family's desperation to continue living after all the suffering they've been through, but these shorter animations with a clear amount of effort put into them are more than enough.)

[e.breddy]

Oh my god dude this is the best thing i've been come out of the Fnaf community! I'm astonished with the visuals and everything, I can tell you've put your heart into it and it really shows! you've improved so much man I'm always glad to see your work again!!!!
There's so much more i can just simp all over but i'd just be repeating everything everyone else said! Amazing job man!!!

[slushiesnsleep]

0:51 With Carl the Cupcake's behavior in the movie, this means that Carl is Michael's guard dog.

[DarkShadic]

This is an utter masterpiece. Afton’s corpse being that horrific glob with tentacles strewn about is easily the most terrifying concept I’ve ever seen come out of the FNaF community. Fantastic work!

[creeblaze]

Holy shit... that's the creepiest theory I've ever seen on why the design changed. This is absolutely incredible and completely original. You continue to surprise me and the rest of the FNAF community with your creativity and talent. THANK YOU!

[loganentertainment]

This is I love how William left the old suit like he was a parasite, and went into the Salvaged Springtrap suit. I also love how you showed how Michael has been living in the shadows as a homeless person. You've done an amazing job. 😀👍
