(Blender film) Over The Garden Wall fan animation

I graduated, became a legal adult, and started college in the time that making this animation took

This video gained a lot of unexpected attention!
I'm obligated to add that a lot of the 3D models seen in this video were not made by me. Quixel Megascans carried me through this project, as well as many free sketchfab downloads. I should not have posted this video in the first place without adding these links. Here are links to the resources that I used:

Dude this is so good. At first glance I thought it was really jarring (seeing a realistic Jason Funderburker) but the shots of the fish fishing, the tree, the mansion, and the Pumpkin people all really built on top of it and sell the whole anim. It's like a new asthetic. Kinda eerie in the best kind of way. Suits the show very well

[vincentgeiszler]

Absolutely incredible and extremely effective. The sudden (but not too sudden to be a jumpscare) shot of The Beast genuinely spooked me, I hadn’t realized how scared I was of him still. This whole piece really encapsulates the beauty and surrealism of The Unknown. This was a lovely blast from the past, one you obviously worked very, very hard on.

[LivingTar]

The dedication to the source material, the use of realism, while still having a defined style. Utterly gorgeous work

[joelspeers]

the shot of the fish is genuinely so impressive. The shaders, lighting, fog and focus are perfect

[allthezucchinis]

Your animation is absolutely beautiful, I wish Over The Garden Wall was made into a game and the graphics would be made by you!

[stephenkelly]

I LOVE THIS. The unnerving merging of photorealism and dreamlike surrealism are just perfect

[NOOB-pskm]

If Over the garden wall was made in 3D instead of 2D THIS is exactly how it would have looked like.

This is really beautiful oh my gosh! I’m so used to seeing it as a cartoon that it was shocking to see it more realistically, but I’m honestly super into it! The lip sync was really good on Jason Funderberker (especially on lies, where it looks like he sighs audibly, good stuff!) and I can’t wait to share this video with my friends! ❤

[quanahlecornu]

that was so cool. It hit that uncanny discomfort the show did so well. Also the mansion was super clean and detailed, the lighting made it look life like.

[niccolai]

Truly beautiful and profoundly haunting visuals. Over the Garden Wall is one of my best favorite pieces of media and it is so amazing to see new talented people using it's aesthetic as a way of adding to their art. This really captures the feeling of the show. Fantastic.

[allenthenerd]

This is beyond gorgeous and now I want a realistic version of the complete show like this.

[yarnspinner]

Such a great animation! I can't believe Blender has this potential. The entire animation is so detailed and incredible, and brought back memories of watching the show.

[ok-qxpw]

Damn this show still hit hard, and every years i can't help but come back to watching it, this show is the embodiment of fall

[Cassiterit]

You know, this is the first thing that has truly convinced me to watch "Over the Garden Wall." I have put it off for too long.

[daanb]

I lovet this, and I really mean that, thank you :)

[melancholybb]

This is so so beautiful the details the subtle movements in some of the scenes but wow the beast really took the cake on this one you made him look terrifying and I didn't expect him to be here i love over the garden wall and you deserve so many likes and followers for this masterpiece.
