“you can start on that side, ok? :)”
“……. i dont have a duster.”
“Ssssshoo-“

[Hinterlindz]

An amazing little detail I noticed: At 26:38 When Ivory first plays the piano, it immediately cuts off at the first chord, which I found.. strange, at first. But upon rewatch, I realized that it's the first chord of the song used at the end, 'Mountain ash', when the murder is shown. And it just so happens, Ivory first started playing the song when everyone else was asleep, the perfect time to do something without anyone noticing...

[AlexTRM_]

For those that are watching, Ivory makes her own music for her videos!

[akemikobyashi]

I love that in Whitepine, everyone treats the Butlers and Maids(especially Ivory) are treated like people and not slaves, they are here willingly, and when Ivory gets scolded for not eating, its not out of disrespect or anger, its with a worried yet stirn, its nice to see these people treated as...people, its nice❤

[Girlie-_-]

The dad choking in the bathroom as soon as he wakes up is so real

[maximtelegin]

"...i dont have a duster :("
my heart melted.

[Norn..]

The characters: panicking at the end

My brain: oh fiddlesticks, whatever ruffian has caused these shenanigans has really put a damper on the mood of this fine hour

[minjun]

i reallly hope SAD-ist animates this, i love how the mood is and the acting, especially the sound effects

[exe]

list of cool stuff
- ambient sound design and noise use, music production, basically everything sound related
- cinema camera angles, timed cuts, and aspect ratio (well chosen :o)
- actors (voice and otherwise)
- writing, and character designs (never seen anything in shown in mc as in depth as this)
- creation of suspense (quiet scenes, contrast of volumes, and intensity are amazingly done)
- plot
- pacing (it doesn't feel too fast, like most mc films i've looked at. almost nothing is overdone, and i don't see any annoying cliches.)
- set design (awesome builds, especially the interiors)
- use of symbolism, references to outside media, hidden meanings
- color correction (very under-appreciated aspect of filmmaking)

this is incredibly well produced, so kudos to everyone involved, and of course congratulations and thank you to ivory for making it into a reality

[IMBATMAN]

I love how the dialogue sounds like it’s not scripted, like you’re taking something out of a normal real life thing

[blizzardgaming]

Something I've just realised, the 'butler' who gave Ivory permission to go outside wasn't with the rest of the staff while they were introduced.
Edit: turns out he was there just offscreen, but the way he acts is still very suspicious. He is also missing from the group photo community post.

[cuami]

Only a few minutes in and I can already tell what's up with Ivory... I love that Ivory is so well written and represented, everything helps describe her character while not directly saying it, it's a very relatable character from my point of view, I love the cinematics.

[LukeIsntSmart]

A few things worth mentioning:

-The chair and lamppost have both been seen before, in an unlisted video.
-Scythe is likely experiencing some sort of trauma, which will be revealed at some point in the future.
-The piano being in the basement likely implies that the lady of the house is dead.
-The newspaper clipping that was used in a teaser image for Whitepine says that multiple young men have been overworked and starved to death in a nearby mill, meaning that there is little food going around. The county is likely experiencing a famine/economic crisis and the hemlock family is taking in people who cannot get work
-In the same image of the newspaper, it mentions that there has been a professional hunter who has disappeared in a hunt. He is likely dead too. Perhaps the same person who killed the hunter killed lady hemlock and the maid?

Update: 1.1k likes holy 😳💀

I LOVE how slow this is! It is an amazing refresher from all the Hardcore, SMP, and algorithmically optimized content in the Minecraft and general Youtube space. All the lingering angles, the wide shots where you have to look in the corner to see the action, the scenes where there is nothing but really realistic sound effects, it’s all perfect!
Edit: Thank you for 1 thousand likes! I’ve never gotten that many! That is just such a high number I can’t comprehend it.

[dumndcrewmate]

We needed something like this for a long time. There is not many things like this on the minecraft youtube, let's whats its about

[loganjacobmaccorkle]

Idk if anyone relates, but this series reminds me so much of over the garden wall. Something about the feeling I get watching the shots of unmoving scenery and how the characters don’t talk super loudly, like their voices are blended into the mansion.

[salenismxx]

No because I actually really love serapter's character. The acting seems very natural and that's genuinely what I really like about it. Same with the camera work and the idea of it, it leaves me (personally) kind of unsettled and with the addition of the muffled voices and othe noises/ambience following along with that makes it SO much better.

[ilas]

The foreshadowing of zam saying "hey, there's gonna be a hunt tomorrow" 14:35 and the next day Mysticat being presumably murdered is awesome
Not sure if its intentional though

[heishi_keki]

As someone with a bachelors in Film, this is stunning Ivory! The shot composition, the music, the sound design, the framing, and that last running shot from sticks to a handheld was fantastic! I haven't seen a series that made me feel so unsettled just from the absence of dialogue/music in a while. Long uninterrupted shots with nothing but the room tone and birds chirping to be heard I'M NERDING OUT SO MUCH!!!😆😆😆

Seriously, incredible work to you and your team! Can't wait to see the next episode!💜

[SytG]

It warmed my heart to see such a beautiful series after a long time, it seems like the old minecraft is coming back.
