It is almost time, what will you do?
Serial killer William Afton, or what's left of him, twists the fate of his family in a way that killing them all, again, is needed to set things right for good. In this process, he encounters something no human should ever witness, and it will drag him to the depths of his hollow soul.

Quick clarification: No AI generated images were used in this animation 💀
I draw a sketch, and then polish it into 3 different drawings, using regular fade transitions between them in a loop. You can see this at its best with Afton's human form.
Thank you so much for 50k views and all the support, I love reading all your interpretations and guesses!
Edit 8/19: 100k views, I still can't believe it!
Honestly, I don't think AI could make it look so good and polished yet. Putting the topic aside though, this is pretty cool.
Man THANK YOU for this.
I cant imagine all your work in 4 years
😍Amazing😍 the animation the music the story is a master peace.
Bravo my friend Bravo.
Literally one of and if not the most well animated things to ever come out of this fandom.
how long did this animation take?

“I haven’t heard a good lie in a while”
“Well, I think that you were a good father”
God Damn.
Bruh, that burned him harder than henry.
Hell to the yeA
and the fact that he either
1. doesn't catch this sarcasm at all
2. passes over the sarcasm, and instead of asking "you really think i'm a good father?", questions if OMC really thinks he was innovative. totally blowing past the comment about his fatherhood, further developing his egotistical persona
@NathanWhite-s3qhe didn't care. He had no remorse
What strikes me is that Old Man Consequences told William that he was about to make him lose his temper. Think of the millions, if not billions of people Consequences has seen over eternity, how many people he had seen and heard. Out of all of them, it was William and his actions that finally got to him. That’s death himself getting pissed off at one of his “clients”. Insane.
I mean can you blame him? William was supposed to die TWICE and got away mostly unscathed
@@EnderBoy_11 imagine how angry he was at rasputin lol
I’m sure he would have been even angrier with people like hitler and pol pot
This just makes Old Man consequences sound pretty uncaring about other attrocious people in human history...the stuffing kids in suits made you mad not the countless other monsters in history? Like what?
@@GuyShōtōthat’s assuming this was the only time he lost his temper. It was probably just a rare occurrence, not 1 in a billion.
I love how you depicit Afton in this- he feels like a cold, heartless monster, but not in an inhuman way. Infact, its the fact that you can SEE Human qualities in him that makes him absolutely terrifying. The fact that he tries to atone- tries to feel bad, but just doesn't in the end makes it clear that he is sick and evil on a deep pathological level, to the point where even he couldn't put himself back together.
It doesn't matter if he redeemed himself- put his demons to rest, because in the end, at the final door to the pits of hell?
The demon that will always be waiting for him- the one he can't get away from?
*is himself.*
@wandereringshadow8658 That's a brilliant catch actually, I didn't see it myself, but that makes a lot of sense
In the initial interactions, it's made clear that he didn't feel any emotion from his killing sprees, and that the only thing he felt sad for is that he couldn't appreciate art the same way. I'm not saying it justifies it by any means, but I also understand. Psychopathy is a horrible disease to the brain to have, thinking of other famous examples like Bundy and Dahmer. You've summed it perfectly.
HOLD ON IS THIS MAN SPEAKING FLAMES!
Yes, u understood that perfectly, and thats why we shoukd be grateful to not have this disease, but evrn then people are stupid and let their ego consume themselves, just like the og springbonnie suit is aftons evil, but springtrap embodies the true face if afton, the one that only suffers and rots and finds no fullfillment because of the actions of his own ego and sense of control.over others. The difference between normal.people and psycopaths is that they stay rotten forever, but have the option to not rot like them.
So that's why golden bonnie was there
The interpretation of hell is the most accurate thing ever. No matter how evil you are, you cannot brace yourself to witness true hell.
And that's what I like about it. Its accuracy...
Oh it’s accurate? So you two been there before?

This is really cool interpretation of William's self-destructive path that made him lose his family and closest friend. I love how this is mostly through visual storytelling, and the dialogue we get is through text instead of voice acting. Really adds to the eeriness of film.
Could we possibly get a second one?

You must be talking about the Spring Bonnie behind William floating upwards. That must have been what came back to be Vanessa's and Gregory's problem.
Doppelgänger theory
After thinking about it all a bit more thoroughly, I feel like Afton did all of this just to see if he could feel something. He sees himself as incapable of any emotion (something paralleled by his self-admitted inability to enjoy art, ergo, his ability to connect with the most human thing form of expression there is and his willing to do it all over again if given the chance) other than killing and building his machines. The fact that he says he ate the children's hearts just as a way of "experimenting" to see if he could cleanse his soul (maybe thinking it could, again, make him feel something) I think points in this direction as well. I feel like he doesn't even truly care about his family, as indicated by him just plainly telling Michael to "Let go" when the latter tries to stab him, or when Consequences lies to him about being a good father and an innovative builder and William chooses to focus only on the latter, ignoring even the fact that it was meant to be a lie to instead cling into the slightest bit of validation in order to feed his ego. Hell, even the way he caresses Elizabeth's cheek when he first meets her again only to remark the fact that she's broken makes it feel to me like he cares more about the state of his creation rather than seeing his daughter again.
No, I feel like his apparent good deed at the end, getting his family to rest and all, given the fact that Consequences reminds him over and over again that there's no redemption for him, is moreso just him trying to see if he can get himself to care about them or if it will make them feel any good rather than a truly careless act. Hell, Charlie even asks what is he going to do now, almost as if she knows he's gonna try something new to see if he feels something. The fact that at the end, before walking into Hell, he tells what's presumably a reflection of his killing impulse he just got bored of it, makes me feel this might be the intended reading. Maybe he just grew bored of immortality too, and he wants to see what the afterlife's like. Haven't seen anyone else bring this up yet. Man, what a fuckin film.
perfectly describes william to a T lmao
What have you become Matpat (see that as a compliment

Timecode
@@Raptorozaur it begins around 59:26
@@bright_shadow. okay.
I love the little details, like when Old Man Consequences said William was a good father and innovative inventor, and William said "You really think I was innovative?" It shows that he doesn't care about being a good father, all he cares about is himself and his own creations.
William lamenting it has been a good while since he heard a good lie.
Then gets told he was a good dad and his creations were innovative
And. Instead of catching on he got told a lie. Basically said he was a bad dad. Or feel guilt at that.
He goes to ask if he truly means "he is innovative".
That delivery was great
So in character, for this and even in the games. I can see him saying that
The man was arrogant and egoistic. So it's to be expected he focuses on his perceived success instead of his resounding failure.
His narcissism, another reason he could never be redeemed
He was indeed "innovative" in a sense, he made machines capable of housing human spirits and was able to expand his own life let alone being able to write his own fate for awhile.
To me he was being self aware. Like, out of the two statements he did treat "you were a good father" as a lie, and "your creations were innovative" at face value
I love how william interacts with his kids. Even though he is a monster he still cares about them and they care about him, even Michael. Elizabeth clearly loves him unconditionally even though he is indirectly responsible for her death. With Michael it's more of a love-hate relationship. Michael hates William for what he did, not just to him, but also to the others. But deep down beneath the hate is a remorseful man who wants all of this to end just as bad as his father does. With his youngest is a boy who's scared and confused who just wants to see his family again.
What I love the most about this piece of art - an art, no less - is that it puts your perspective to that of an original killer, an original killer... The man behind the slaughter. And the first thing you see through his eyes is not the slaughter, not even the sadness or regret from what he has done. It's... Emptiness. A bleak void in which there is a distant light of hope - a hope for redemption. Yet, he knew that he cannot be redeemed. His whole existence brings the demons from the pit of hell to take him where he belongs. And he willingly abandoned this hope, for even if he could go back in time, there's little he would do differently - just his methods. Maybe, to not create these monsters, to not be trapped inside one of those monsters. He believes that he wasn't even innovative with these technologies so there was little to no point in creating this himself. But he can't go back in time. He refuses the gift from his son that was waiting downstairs for him, that wished he could go with his father. Michael wished to go with William to the Hell yet this wish made him deserve the place in Heaven.
What makes this truly unique, setting this apart from any other Fnaf media, is that... Even Cassidy is tired. The decades of hate is too much for a single child, the child who just wants to leave this world with peace, knowing that William will get what he deserves so there's no point in torturing him himself - a very stoic decision.
Yet William subconsciously yearned to go to Heaven, to have the eternal peace from all this suffering he brought on others and even himself - "I caused all of this". He worked with Henry and Michael to retrieve the souls back and free them. He fought the demon that was pulling him to the Hell, not just for himself, but for his son as he couldn't just go without making sure his youngest son isn't suffering in this golden costume that ended his life. When he bid farewell to Evan, to Elizabeth, to Michael, to all those broken souls of children, William was left with a wish that he would be a better father, a better person. He accepted his fate and let go. The two white dots in his eyes no longer blinded him, and he could see the eternal damnation. He didn't tell that he was willing to go to Heaven, wanted to extend his hands, wished he could go with everyone and be forgiven at last. That was his only regret, one so small yet just enough to pull him down the lake of blood that he spilled to face the fear of death, a true death that he wished he could experience on that day when a single drop made the spring locks do their job like when Evan's tears made the bear clench his jaw on his happiest day.
This is really a tragedy. A Christian tragedy. I was left speechless for an hour. I wish this was a real ending to this story, to this franchise - and to me personally, it is. Thank you. I love you.
Damn good speech, I'm in total agreement. This truly should be the real end of William's story.
What I don’t like about it is Cassidy since her and the children wouldn’t be forgiven by God.
@@justice8718 I believe in Chistianity there are parts that mention that, basically, if you don''t know better you won't be held accountable kind of thing, basically if you are too young or mentally ill or uninformed to know what you are doing/the repercussions of it, it's not that great of a sin as doing it otherwise.
The suit down there wasn't Michael, it was just the suit, supported by that he said they made a deal, he made the deal with a suit that it will save him from going straight away to hell, Micheal would never want to go with his father, he actively hates him, as does everyone
@@6k911Channel In this case, absolutely NO. They should and do know better and became no different from their own killer, except far worse and far more delusional, especially on how good they really are during their extended times of living.
William actually says and declares that he is a bad person and doesn’t show any unforgiveness towards others, making him more open to redemption than literally any other character. The main issue with humans, including the one who made this video, is that they think they are good and they don’t need God to redeem them.
Here’s the horror story that no one wants to see. God being the one to awaken William’s soul to true redemption as his victims die in rejection simply because they sincerely believed they are better than him and didn’t need God because they didn’t see themselves as evil. They are the wicked that will mock the thief on the cross and be utterly angry at his acceptance into Heaven.
In a fucked up morbid way, I find it kinda wholesome how Michael refused to pass on until his siblings and the other children did. Notice how he was the very last one to disappear
“and I’ll do it again” that’s actually terrifying
Of course he would. That’s typical William behavior he will never change
The only thing more terrifying than a selfish man, is a stubborn one.
I genuinely think this is a modern horror surrealist masterpiece. Combing elements of liminal and unsettling imagery, to visually tell a story, with analog horror-esque scares to keep people engaged and on edge through the run time is nothing short of phenomenal. Not to mention, I think someone that had no idea about fnaf could watch this film and most likely enjoy it. The fact it was made independently only adds to this fact. Definitely film of the year for me.
There is no other fan project that has come this close to capturing my interpretation of William’s character. A lot of fans in the community debate over if William was a full blown sociopath or a broken man. I personally think it’s a bit of both. The way I see it, William was always a sociopath but did have some bits of humanity. He cared for his children, and their deaths affected him. Personally, I imagine he tries to justify his actions by saying they’re all an attempt to either avenge his son or bring him back. In the end though, he did all of this for himself. Whether it was vengeance, pride, or just pure bloodlust, he did it all because he wanted to. He’s a man who I think wants to care, but can’t. I think his relationships with his family is the closest thing he has to real emotion, but he pushed them away, turned them into monsters. This video tells me that William knows he’s evil, knows he’s vile, but he can’t do anything about it. He can’t truly undo what he did. He’s a monster, and he’s come to accept that. “I probably do it again” is him admitting that he is not a good person and he can’t change that.
That scraptrap model is pure nightmare fuel even in calm scenes. This is what we should've gotten in FNAF 6.
What I love about the ending is that he is sitting there seemly bored out of his mind, and to me it fits his character perfectly, after he accepts his fate and goes to hell he realizes that its his eternity to sit in that room and suffer, knowing that his family is in a better place, knowing that he will never see them again.
To be fair, being trapped in that room for 30 years pretty much was the worst time of his life. Even being burned and reanimated doesn't compare to this.

When asking about lies and truths and he prioritizes "was I innovative" over if he was good father. Beautiful painting of the narcissistic psychopath he is. Awesome film.
You know? The fact that William called old man consequences a crocodile makes me think that it is the only way he had to describe to his daughter a being whose mere existence is difficult to understand, and yes I know that in the FNAF saga, he looks literally like a crocodile fishing, but this is what I interpret seeing that in this film it has another possible meaning
The fact that he cares more about being innovative than being a good dad is one of the best parts in regard to showing us who he is
It seemed more like he knows he wasn't a good dad, but he wants to believe he was innovative
@@garyeggins9878afton's ego
I genuinely feel like i should be paying money to watch this. It took YEARS to make this, and it absolutely shows in EVERY. SINGLE. MOMENT. I've been seeing comments comparing it to emesis blue, skinamarink and what not, i think they're absolutely right. The constant, but smooth shifts of setting, mood, and emotion was magical. It gives you a feeling of emptiness throughout most of the movie. Which makes absolute sense in Williams case.
The ending filled me with dread, fully instilling into my mind the thought of eternal suffering. The idea of forever is a fleeting thought for the mind to grasp, though he deserved it, and knew it as well makes you almost empathetic for him. He never wanted to go to hell, but he knew he was too far past gone. Literally stated by Old Man Consequences: “An evil like yours is hard to come by” (that's probably not 100% accurate but you get my point).
This film was a roller coaster of emotions, and i'm glad it strayed a little further from jump scares like most of the FNAF fan films/shorts. It was filled with eerie, morbid mind games, feeling you with a sense of desperation, a sudden loss of hope. Which is how it should feel, in my opinion i think thats how all these events made william feel. I could go on forever, but i'll cap it here. This work of art was INCREDIBLY AWESOME, it gave a satisfying ending to the Aftons. I've been recommending this to multiple people to watch, and i intend on continuing doing so.

i like how everyone in this animation is just DONE with william. charlie doesn't even attack him, henry coldly talks to him on a phone or smth, michael tries to stab him but gives up and just goes back into his apartment, old man consequences gets fed up with his unwillingness to change...
and cassidy, whose sole character trait in canon is hating william enough to trap him in a personal hell, is so TIRED of hating him that they just. give up. they explain that they're done after learning that their parents died a decade ago, simply tell william to tell his own kid what he did, and leaves without another word. it's poignant. beautiful.
To be honest its the FNAF FILM WE ALL NEEDED
This is maybe the most viscerally Interesting FNaF Fanwork I've ever seen. The idea of William becoming resigned to everything and even helping Mike and Henry end it all is such a wild take compared to everything else we've seen. Fantastic work!
59:30
This is one of the coolest renders of Springbonnie I've ever seen. He just looks so damn disturbing here, it's great.
was thinking the same thing
I can’t describe with words how afraid I was at 7:32, ive never been more unnerved by freddy staring (even in VHS videos)
thus droopy eye and slightly cross eyed were terrifying
It feels like a "soulless" person
Everybody gives them human traits since they are conscious etc
But when they act more like robots than human
It starts being quite awkward
Or at 59:30 his old spring bonnie look is terrefying
the "how hungry?" death stare
how I look at bro after he mentions that we play FNAF RP to the hoes
That reminds me about how complicated William Afton character is, I guess sometimes people are forgetting that William is not some sort of a cartoon villain, he is antagonist with terrifying and terrible backstory. Sometimes I think that the story of afton family needs a representation. Just imagine how dark it can be.
real, ik he can be overrated but hes still my favorite villian. hes the most awful bastard that is on a path of pure self destruction lol.
Scott needs to see this and this wasn’t an hour long fan film, this was an experience for all fnaf fans who knew exactly what was going on and when this took place.
This film has made my skin crawl mutliple times. As a person that has been with the FNAF community since its beginning, and of course knowing the lore, it makes it all more terrifying. Also the art style of this film is so HUMAN-like that it actually feels like this is based on a true story with real events. This film also really wants to make you think that Afton will finally adress these murderers and maybe want to atone which obviously is far from the truth. William as a person simply DID NOT CARE. He didn't care about himself nor the victims he had slain. There's no reason for him to feel guilty, regretful, sad or hurt about his actions because he simply didn't care about any of it. He was just an empty shell trying to fill up itself by just doing actions without second guessing or re-thinking them. It's truly just sickening. This is also emphasized by when Golden Freddy asked him if he could turn back time what would he do different to which he responded that he'd do it all again. His goal was NEVER to atone for his sins, his goal was to just do it just to do it. No ulterior motives, no anger, NOTHING just doing what needs to be done in order to HOPEFULLY fill that empty shell that he is as a person. Just empty.

Great work on this film! You deserve all the credit and more!👍
I may be trippin but the Springbonnie at the end could represent the devil itself talking to William, since at that point he is at the lowest and darkest pit in hell.
I feel like it has to be that, Afton was always obsessed with the paranormal, and he probably made a deal with the devil to make his experiments have value.
I interpreted it as the "idea" of William letting hell and taking on a new shape (ie. Pittrap, Glitchtrap, Mimic, etc.)
"What didn't he tell me?"
... that he always comes back. One way or the other.
@@ripgasbaron9716 so, this is a fan made about how william point of view was?
@@ripgasbaron9716 I always wondered if Glitchtrap is actually W. Afton or just some sort of copy. But since Henry at the end of fnaf 5 says "the darkest pits of hell have opened to swallow you whole (...)" your theory would make a lot of sense.
@@ripgasbaron9716umm but aren t those 3 dudes there own thing
The ending is... quite disturbing in its implications. If the timeline is correct, these are the moments leading up to Ultimate Custom Night. This is him entering his eternal punishment, having finally tied up every loose end. Here he is, his own body twisted into a stationary prison with him nestled in the middle, surrounded by teeth and scabs. And deep within, he's stuck living the same six hours over and over and over again. Dying, waking up, winning, dying, waking up, winning, and then dying.
Forever...
i don't think so. Cassidy's the one causing william's nightmare/personal hell and immortality (seemingly) sometime between fnaf 3 and fnaf 6, and they were shown moving on/giving up at the end, causing Will to die (i think). that's not Cassidy's hell he's going into, that's HELL hell he's going to. "unfathomable horror, eternal suffering and complete detachment from God" hell.
@@fardledeedwidle3195 Jesus...
no i think they just locked him back up in the saferoom
Nah, William didn't end up in the Custom Night, he pretty much ended in what would be considered true hell or a similar version of it, a place with horrors beyond human comprehension and with no logic at all, if he ended up in the Custom Night, then his reaction would have been far more calmed compared to how he reacted at the end

This is EXACTLY what reminds me of what Scott was trying to go for in the old games, when everything was so dark are horrific. I have to say this is the BEST fnaf animation I’ve ever seen, I’ve seen a lot of fnaf animations, and I mean A LOT, but this is the best fnaf animated film I’ve ever watched.
Disagree, this was never Scott intentions
@SubZero-hs9xc it 100% was, it mimics his intentions very closely. Fnaf 1 was about child murder and being stuffed into suits (the death screen gore is proof enough), fnaf 2 took a step back from the gore to focus on the lore and the darkness of the story (specifically the MCI), then fnaf 3 harnessed the gore from fnaf 1 and the dark lore of fnaf 2 and combined it while making it darker, then Fnaf 4 too a more psychological horror approach by adding situational horror (the view of a child) and the tragic demise of said child, then Fnaf SL amped it up to 200 by really showing a spotlight on aftons cunning and nihilistic nature by showing us how evil and dark he really is (making animatronics to kidnap kids so he can experiment with remnant) then leading to the fall of his daughter, then fnaf 6 giving us further proof by showing how deranged and dark he is (the missing dog minigame and the Jr's. Minigame), then UCN gave us cutscenes which explained how he killed them all. After that it took a step back tone wise because he wanted to cater to children more and less of the dark era. This animation is a perfect end to the story and it's where fnaf should have ended, it's Scott's true vision and everything after UCN is mainly SW's vision. The darkness lives on in the books and the side games like Into the Pit.
@Spectresilencer I agree tho I do think you're over exaggerating how dark the og game were a bit. But also everything after UCN is still Scott's vision (besides SB but that was because of communication issues)
@@Spectresilencer so, scott wanted to end it all in ucn? and made the actual games as a what if timeline?
@@nachosp7882kinda.. originally fnaf 6 was going to be the last game. But just like how fnaf 3 was going to be the last, Scott / other game developers had ideas for a new game and add to the lore. Right now the horror element is slowly fading, the newer games are still horror just.. not the type of horror game it used to be
I have seen a lot of fnaf media, A LOT. There is literally nothing I have ever seen that has topped this. I'd say that NOTHING is ever going to top this.
I can literally feel the actual passion put into this project. The amount of dedication that you have to have to keep going and going to create something like this for actual years is impressive.
I absolutely love the portrayal of William in this, he is cold, unforgivable, and remorseless killer. As stated several times in this, he would not change a thing if he could and I absolutely love that. I've seen portrayals that try to make him redeemable and they always feel empty and felt like it didn't represent the character, but this is genuinely perfect. Nothing about him is redeeming. The only thing he has is an obligation to care for his kids.
I honestly hope that an official fnaf movie can be this passionate and deep. I love how this film is up to a lot of interpretation, especially the box towards the end. I literally do not think I have a single gripe or criticism about this.
This reminds me of Emesis blue, but different in a lot of ways. It's mostly quite but somehow there a message in every moment.
i was thinking the same thing, it gives some similar vibes, and some phrases of the movie came to my mind when i was watching this
"It's eternity in there"
That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this
Emesis blue meets skinamarink meets fnaf

I CRIED AT THE FIRST THING EVAN SAID TO HIS FATHER AND THE FACT WILLIAM SAID IT WAS OKAY AND THAT HE'LL BE BEHIND HIM WHEN HE KNEW HE WILL NEVER- I THEN REALIZED THAT ALL EVAN NEEDED WAS REASSURANCE FROM HIS FATHER-
The final lie.
I can assure you, Cassidy is going to tell him everything as a final snub to William.
(Or Mike, or Charlie, or Henry, or the other kids.)
Seeing William sort of humanized by interacting with his family and being subjected to his own horrors was really neat! I felt like rooting for him during the film.
You've done an amazing job with the visuals, I've never seen something FNAF related be so realistic, surreal, and creepy!
Thanks for your hard work on this project.
Additionally, it was so cool to see Old Man Consequences depicted like this. He's one of my favorite characters in the series with how mysterious and spiritual he is.
@@durpgaming0001 It was also interesting to see Old Man Consequences depicted as how he seems in FNAF World, an inhuman otherworldly being outside time and space, rather than Henry's soul being stuck in purgatory forever.
@@idontcarewhatmyusernameis7324 Damn, is that a theory for him? That's rough.
using postal ost in a fucking fnaf fan film is genius especially in this context dude you are a fucking genius this film rocks
damn i loved every second of this film
a thing that i don't know if im just tweaking, but i like how, when talking to the crying child, he doesn't say that he missed him, while you could think that William simply doesn't care, i interpreted like he just doesn't think that, at least for his kids, he deserves any kind of affection towards, he doesn't hug Elizabeth back too, at the end, he didn't even regret what he did, all he wanted was to everything to be done with.
incredible story telling, you my good fella, is the incarnation of will and talent!
Something that I wasn't expecting and at the same time absolutely love, was William being portrayed as simply tired really. Michael literally stabs him, and he's just like..."yep, I deserve that." In the end, he's still an ego maniac, but a tired ego maniac. One that literally willingly walks into hell because he's accepted the consequences of his horrible actions that he doesn't regret.
In memory of Maxie.
When I read that, my jaw genuinely dropped. I’m so glad that others remember them.
Amazing animation, amazing story and interesting take on the character. I’d love to watch anything else you may release when it comes to the series
I wish i understood what even a fraction of this meant. Because I'm sure there's a very good story hidden in there, i just... Wasn't able to grasp it. I'm glad everyone else was able to enjoy it, tho. It deserves all the praise it can get.
There is a video that breaks down this video only people who know the story truly get this video
Basically william is being haunted and hunted by the manifestation of all the horror and agony he caused while also tracking down his child to free him from this nightmare, but he knows there isn't forgiveness, he knows there is no hope for him, he is doing this because he thinks that this will finally kill him and free him at last
I feel bad about watching this without paying or seeing ads
Ikr this should be paid to watch 😭 it feels illegal
BRO FRR 😭😭😭
Genuinely felt like watching a feature-length film, I really loved every second of this and just how... morbid it feels. One of my favorite animations to ever come out of this community, you did excellent dude!
What a beautiful film, this didn’t even need the fnaf name on it. I genuinely believe that this film could stand on its own.
"Do you remember the names of his kids?"
"Freddie and Bonnie..."
That line gave me chills
that part confused me a little, are they the souls possessing freddy and bonnie? cause wasn't it Gabriel and Jeremy?
@@VEGA_173probably source of inspiration for the name
Since I’m assuming the priest came to Henry and William during the Fredbear era, it was likely either A: a vision into the future
or B: Henry and William named the animatronics after the children, to honor the then dead priest.
@@joeypickering5273 Or maybe he was so unnatached to them as actual people that he didn't even remember their actual names, but that might be a stretch on my part
I dont know who told you to cook .......
But you absolutely did.
And made one of the best dishes ive ever seen in my life.
In my heart, this will be considered the best interpretation of both Fnaf in itself and the Afton family as a whole.
Absolutely phenomenal brother.
40:56 Holy crap springtrap got them moves.
That Shit Was Fucking Awesome
well, ofc hes an expert on that kind of stuff
I very much like the idea that the cursed Aftons are spared hell so William alone goes to face his punishment. They were roped into what he did, after all, and deserve to be spared. He knows this. He knows he alone should rot and that's why that is exactly what he goes to do.
Beautifully done. Wow.
The dread and sadness in every single frame really left my mouth agape. That is insane work dude
The most harrowing scene for me is the one in which the spring suit is slowly killing him 9:10, each excruciating sound visceral and apparent, even when offscreen.
RIP Maxie. You'll be missed forever for your amazing SFM FNAF works
Who?
@@lord_bobanewname4069 a very popular FNAF animator and SFM artist, I remember correctly, they unfortunately perished in a plane crash, along with many others. :(
@@brandonporter2321sadly it was a Iranian missile attack, its heart breaking to hear
I have never felt so much existential dread watching a video before. It gives me the vibes of “The House that Jack Built” and I mean this in the best way possible. This video is such a hellish experience that absolutely shows the love and dedication put into this project. It’s like a fever dream. Also the absence of any voice acting/ loud and intense music really pieces everything so beautifully. A waking dream within the grasps of limbo, the purgatory for the irredeemable. I look forward to seeing this in my nightmares tonight
In case it wasn’t obvious, this is absolute masterpiece and a triumph in telling William’s story
Bravo
Someone get Dawko to react to this! Seriously man you should be so proud of yourself
I love for starters, the ScrapTrap redesign: how the skeleton is MUCH better and how he doesn’t have that weird visible skull in the mask, and it’s just flesh now.
But what I love MORE is how you handled Afton and his family, most fanworks depict Afton as either despising or just tolerating his family, but this one’s a lot better. Sure, yeah- Aftons a heartless monster who doesn’t care nor regret the fact he killed 5+ children, yet he still cares about his own. Makes him feel atleast a BIT more human.
I love all the little details in this like at 26:48 where you can see the fabric of the suit moving over the corpse of William. This is a true masterpiece, the fnaf movie we deserve.
I accidentally ended up watching all of this in 240p assuming it was a style choice by the uploader help. I forgot I set it that low the previous night.
Even still, it was rad as hell to watch. Props to this dude
I dont know if this is intentional but I love that the door to afton’s final hell at 1:00:29 looks almost exactly like the door you enter in help wanted to start the game
This is a film that'll go down in this platform's history with the greats like emesis blue, i was captivated throughout the whole film and even got chills once he walked through the door. I never get chills, I'm a very desensitized person that borders on sociopathic and still got chills, you're doing something right
As someone who studies cinema this is impressive on so many levels, the format, the color scheme, the pacing,
This is something masters like Lars Von Trier would have done
Did he direct The House That Jack Built? That was an incredible movie in my opinion. You're right. It does have some similarities. And I'm happy for you that you're studying cinema.
I definitely got a "The House That Jack Built" vibe from the old man consequences sequences, and the part at the end with the stairs into hell.
24:55
I absolutely love this brief scene of him peeking around the corner. A perfect example of my favorite aspect of this film, is the insistence to capture all the rendering qualities, visual gags, and signature style of the original games. The way the models and environments and models are rendered, with the noise and lighting closely resembling the charm of the old clickteam game's rendering and visual artstyle while still playing with higher quality visuals. The sound design perfectly emulates the usually very quiet movements and environments of the old games, with footsteps faithfully muffled like in the games. All to reach that scene of him peeking a corner just like in the third game. This animator knew what they were doing.
i think what was in the box was williams will to keep killing or to continue to be the person is, so when william throws the box off the edge at 58:19 and it ends up in the lake, OMC sees it as some gift, and i think that sort of confuses OMC because the whole time william told him that he’d never change anything, so when he sees that gift he thinks on it wonders what william never told him, and i think that william never told OMC that he’d lost interest and who he was and what he did was no longer special to him
That's a very good theory.
This is absolutely beautiful, this is what I imagined fnaf to be, all those horrible things you’ve imagined in the back of your mind while playing or reading, all the horrors, atrocities, blood, and gore, coming to life in this absolute masterpiece, the lighting, storytelling, everything, it’s as close to perfect as we’re gonna get, i know because it’s perfect to me, the more I watch it the more I think and connect with these details, every picture, every frame, every model, it’s all so full of everything, thank you, you not only satisfied me but have inspired me, maybe I’ll try and make my own something someday, you have my eternal gratitude
Such an interesting way of telling his story. Even if does regret it partially at the end, it doesn't' change a single thing of what he does. He doesn't fight going to hell, he just accepts it cause he knew he was fucked no matter what.
You can't help but root for him, beg him to show remorse, to say he would have never killed anyone. But ultimately he can't admit that, but at the same time he doesn't feel joy over it either. Even after conquering UCN, even if he finds redemption and puts his demons to rest, he's still stuck. He'll never escape from the consequences of his actions.
This is undoubtably the most beautifully crafted pieces of fnaf media i've ever watched in the last 10 years old being a fan. the animation was smooth, the story telling was fantastic and the cinematography was nothing short of incredibly produced. i also adored the choice of having them not speak but instead read subtitles, giving more attention to the sound design and the quiet/morbid nature of the film, which was brilliantly executed in the design and portrayal of the characters. this was just so awesome dude you did such a great job on producing this!!
I like the way Michael looks in this, plus I like how the first thing Michael did when he saw his father was stab him.
This is an absolute gem. The story felt so liminal and empty, like depression made into a video, but fnaf style. Fnaf is one of my most favorite things, so I’m so happy someone did this. I’ve wanted for so long someone to dive into Ultimate Custom Night as it’s one of my FAVORITE parts of fnaf lore and there’s so much to do with it. The legitimate storytelling, atmosphere and animation is beyond insane. And don’t get me started with the models, Mikes was soooo good. You worked so hard and deserve a,l the views you can get. My heart literally melted when Afton and lizzy were hugging 😭.
Fr tho, the video sort of triggers my depression x_x
@@atillar3321 awh I'm sorry :(( I felt a deep sense of like emptiness, that means this creator really captured the vibe.
I could do a deep commentary of for wich reasons is it so good. but... I can't even find the words how to say it proprely.
For me this movie is just amazing top to bottom, the scary parts are so uncanny they are perfect, the script is good and fits the main story. The differents styles used giving different feelings of unease.
I let out a few of tears watching some of the dialogues. So heartbroken and it's so accurate to how lost a child can be and only anchors himself to the love they have for their parents.
Mate honestly 10/10 love it from top to bottom.
I also love how the end mirrors the beginning
To quote a scientist
“We end as we began”
FNAF 1999 confirmed?!?
(Warframe reference deployed)
This def needs more love. haven’t even seen the whole movie thing and I’m super excited to see what’s going on here.
By far, probably the best most solid well crafted piece of fnaf fan content ever. It was surreal, pretty, haunting, and so so much more, this is a beautiful William Character study and it tackles the more weird and out there elements of FNAF with so much care and makes it feel so damn coherent.
the stares. the flesh counterpart. the *detail*.
ive been with fnaf for ten years. ive seen and heard and done near everything a person can within the fandom. ive seen the vhs tapes, ive played the fangames, ive watched every single matpat and dawko and markiplier and fusionzgamer video. this franchise was my childhood, and as i turn twenty, i am once again blown away by the sheer creativity and flexibility and talent that this community has.
when the title screen comes on, people probably think they're in for something similar to the vhs tapes, just another one of those 'meta' takes on fnaf and the story. what hooked me was at 2:44. the stare from lefty proves that entire mindset wrong. it shows people that this is something truly amazing, and the story theyre about to witness is unlike much else theyve ever heard. and if they werent hooked at 2:44, then what got them next was the entire dialogue scene in the theater. that was something special. this entire FILM was special. it takes a much darker turn than most, if not all, vhs tapes. we're looking in as an outsider, but with the clarity that this is not about his crimes. its about what his crimes *caused*. how we watch this man descend into this horrid chimerical unreality is something so well done i almost thought i was going insane.
the ART?? the painstaking art of the flesh freddy head, those melting animatronics during his pizzeria flashback, the other flesh being? i was, for lack of a better work, starstruck. this must have taken YEARS to complete, film, set up and sculpt. i simply am out of words to express just how impressive this truly is.
this is not a horror film. this is a documentary about the causation of a man's actions thirty years ago, and how it affects him to the end. i will not spoil the ending for those just scrolling and reading comments before watching the video (i do the same), but after watching this, the ending is something thought-out.
i LOVED this. from beginning to end i enjoyed every moment, and while i don't get scared very easy, i did get freaked out. (this is the longest comment ive ever written)
Possibly the best fanfilm I’ve ever seen, the story, the animation, the lighting, it really does make you think and feel for William. He deserved what was coming to him, but the fact he might’ve regretted even a little bit what he had done, makes it painful to watch. And that’s the best kind of film making, Well done.
I have to say this...this movie was a masterpiece really,the guy who made this as a lot of potential ...it opened me a new way to see fnaf, i look foward to see more from this guy
The aspect ratio already made me fall in love. The cinematography makes me feel so uneasy, and the audio??? I love this
I love this to death. The designs, the imagery, and especially the metaphors. There is no "handholding" when it comes to storytelling. It's all metaphorical, leaving the viewer to decipher what the imagery means based on the events in the lore of the FNaF universe.
The film is so cryptic, vague and anomalous. It leaves you unsatisfied. There’s no real explanation except for your own imagination and visuals. It makes you wants to watch through again. The film is very disturbing. It genuinely makes me sick, and that is what the creator intended. He intended for it to be unsatisfactory, to be cryptic, gross, and fever-dreamish, and they damn-well nailed it.
I genuinely want to know more about the film and it’s creator. What was the inspiration? What was the direction? Why did the creator design the characters and entities the way they did?
Bravo!
"When we start watching this fnaf animation, we can see everything that William Afton himself experienced, everything that he did once upon a time, all those actions that he committed, and all his suffering and much more that Golden Freddy reminded him, at one point we see that some have become free and will find peace, but Afton himself will not be free, he will not be able to do anything because he has only one solution that awaits him, the path that leads only to one place where everything and will end..."
(I don’t know if I described something correctly about this animation but perhaps some of this is true), but if otherwise, I want to say that I like this animated fnaf film (which shows us the story) I liked it very much, it has excellent graphics (almost like in VHS), many thanks to the author of this video, it was very interesting to watch and I want a lot of people to notice this video and support you)
[And also if you are reading this, then to immerse yourself in atmosphere I recommend putting on headphones and watching it at night, then it will feel as if you can see everything or are somewhere nearby...]
9:11 When she keeps springing on your lock even tho you already failured:
The final scene kinda reminds me of a quote “the sights of hell bring its viewers back in”
16:38-17:56
Micheal and William somewhat bonding.. even if it's not much.. This is probably the best interaction between them I've seen in a long time.
7:00 "So he looks at me, and i look at him, and he looks at me, and i look at him, so he looks at me!, and i look at him!" - Weird Al- the drive thru
This is genuinely really, REALLY impressive. While the dialogue is sometimes a bit off, this is far, FAR outweighed by the amazing visuals and scenes. Genuinely a really cool take on Williams death and "hell".
Scott would be proud of you.
I’m a little uncertain but I’m pretty sure the fleshy rabbit thing is the Into the Pit monster in some way. Or at least a reference to him. Cool that a book thing showed up if THATS true.
This is the Emesis Blue of FNaF fan films.
it is especially the dark atmosphere that makes us think of Emesis blue
I just watched that last week.
@@Banana360-Although that's expected from fnaf since ya know.
I thought EXACTLY this
Literally peak independent cinema in both cases
Scott walked so indie creators could run! I was in shock the whole time. This is so well done, and so insanely unsettling.
Absolute fantastic job!!
I rarely comment but this is so amazing. The animations, the quality, you can clearly see the hard work behind this. It felt so immersive too, I loves the fact we could see William's hallucinations and the fact they were more distorted rather than normal models chasing him, I think it was exactly like this for him. Every little detail about this is amazing, great job
One thing I realized after thinking about this video is how interesting it is that unlike the canon Golden Freddy, this vengeful spirit decided to end her/his unreasonable and pointless rage towards William. I also found it intriging that it was William who freed the crying child's soul, not Charlie/Michael depending on interpretation. Also I found it amazing how this vengeful spirit actually listened to Old Man Consequences and moved on, leaving William to fight his demons (literal in this case with his "Fleshtrap" side). Also this vengeful spirit actually seems to care about the crying child, enough to not tell him of his father's deeds and giving him a chance for a final goodbye with his dad, face to face (Also showing CC his dad's real face and human body one more time). Maybe the vengeful spirit cares about CC in the logbook, but they never acknowledged his existence in any games unlike what this film did, letting us see rather than read something. Also when the vengeful spirit said that "hating him was a nightmare" it makes sense since how can you constantly punish someone who sees nothing wrong with their terrible actions. William never felt any remorse and so all the vengeful spirit is doing is basically torturing a lion for eating meat, a man for being male and so on. William will never get any better and will never learn his lesson, not becsuse he is unable to but because saw nothing wrong with what he did to those 5 missing children and so doesn't want to. He wanted to change his methods, most likely so that the missing children's souls couldn't leave their suits and lure him to his death in the backroom. The Vengeful spirit was only hurting themself and unlike the canon one who is still acting like an irrational idiot to this day, decided to give up on trying to make pigs fly and go see their parents in the afterlife. After all, if Old Man Consequences himself, an etherial being, couldn't make William regret his actions for the deaths he caused on all the other kids that he murdered, rather than only his own children, how could a mere human child do so?
This is fucking incredible. You really did an amazing job reincorporating aesthetic elements from the franchise (static, phone ringing, silence, etc) in really cool ways that gave me skinamarink vibes for sure. Really something special.
I always thought the plot concept of William’s journey through Hell in UCN was a fitting plot idea for the end of his character arc considering it’s the final destination of any sinner in Christianity, the religion Scott so often including themes of in his games. This film gives legs to that concept by forcing William to relive his horrible actions and psyche in a gorgeous, Lynchian nightmare-scape that genuinely made me believe it was “outside of space and time”. The screen time given to William’s primary form throughout the film, which seems to be an original design interpretation of Scraptrap, is perfectly handled. You managed to portray him in almost an empathetic light. The way he reacts to different agents that come in his way throughout the film humanizes him in my eyes. I came into this wanting to see an interpretation of William’s journey through Limbo and Hell that lived up to the haunting atmosphere of the Easter egg in UCN where you can hear William screaming for help in Hell but came away with something far more horrifying from both a filmmaking and plot perspective. Bravo, man. You are a visionary gem in this community that I hope will continue to work on more FNaF projects.
this has to be the best interpretation of FNaF I have ever seen, the story is so compelling and actually moving. Everything about this movie is so beautiful, the writing, the animation, the visuals, the models, the 2d art. I am just so stunned at how you could make something this good without anybody else. (btw I feel sorry for your pc having to render all that)
Wow, This is genuinely one of the best interpretations of William Afton’s Mind that I’ve ever seen.
Truly a work of unbelievable art.
