Just like being hyper doesn't mean your ADHD but people and doctors just love to misdiagnose because it sounds more severe and grants them special attention if it's a disorder.
That's called submechanophobia, the fear of partially or fully submerged man-made objects. I felt it suddenly when I watched a simulation of the Titanic sinking in real time and when the deck was under water, it hit me...
@@Hellsichtig Right! It kinda makes you wonder what’s scarier, knowing that that creature is under you, or not knowing what’s under you at all and that there could be something even bigger
The way the water was running over it's shoulder's when it breached the surface was so unnerving. You can tell how large, fast and strong this thing is just by that one piece of information. Very, VERY well done. This sent chills up my spine.
Wonderful short all around, but I just have to say the quality of the water animation is genuinely fantastic. It essentially looks photoreal. The way it rolls over her shoulders when she moves forward and it "catches up" was just... *chef's kiss.* Water is often one of those things that's tricky to nail in CGI... but you nailed it.
You see the boat dragged to the deep. You're now floating in the ocean with no life vest and now you're just waiting for it to grab you or you drown either way. That moment you accepted death....and that's the scare.
Fantastic atmosphere built here, without any lazy jumpscares and this makes it even more creepy. But also I'm glad she isn't made out to be completely malicious towards the person.
Tge POV going further away from the boat was a great touch. The silence and helplessness of the victim and confusion on the creatures face was as well.
i had to watch this by hovering my cursor over the thumbnail and it still got me, this is the first time ive seen someone really grasp how thalassophobia feels without the obvious danger, its the unknown that terrifies me
I don't have many memories of when I was a child, I was 8 years old and I was leafing through an encyclopedia of the seas and fish, when the figures started to move and the fish started to take on the appearance of piranhas, I ran away and then I told my parents everything. . they probably won't even remember this thing, I'm 30 now and I'm still afraid of that encyclopedia that I never opened again
The hand... I broke into a sweat and heart started racing. This taps into or triggers my fear. My goodness, good job. I am never going near water again.
Now you have to be REALLY stranded in the water, far from land, getting cold, getting dark, not knowing every damn second if or when IT will suddenly come back for you.
adding a visual of the giant UNDER the water 🌊would ADD to the scary event kind of the inverse of seeing a mountain⛰ tower above but inversly. That being said... most creepy water related content. I wish more horror games had this.
Let's turn this into a wholesome story. Man is part of a crew of salvagers/explorers sent down to this newly discovered water planet to map it's resources. Merpeople and explorers first were suspicious of each other but they overcame their conflicts and came to respect each other. Mermaid and captain of expedition falls in love. Meanwhile in orbit, the Federation capital ships thought their crew was kidnapped and klled. They return with an armada and a planet cracking antimatter device to glass the planet. But the stranded explorers got a beacon working and explained to their leaders what happened and the merpeople are friendly. Federation refuses and the admiral gives orders to arm the carrier's antimatter torpedo and prepare for launch. Explorers below manage to jury rig a crude laser cannon that was enough to neutralize the incoming torpedo. Armada responds by sending 10,000 mech piloting marines to subdue the rebels and their new friends. Battle looms. We kinda have something like this already called Avatar.
I see you've taken an immense leap and many personal challenges to yourself to create this. The rendering is phenomenal with the lighting, the clouds, and the shine on the metals, to even the reflection of the boat screen on it's curved windshield. The water and sky look incredible, nearly like you videod a trip out onto your own boat. But the personal challenges I see that you're striving to polish, are the reflective surfaces of the fiberglass sections of the boat, the cushioned backseat, and the puffed guard rails. The monster was very creative, in all iterations I've seen of mermaids or mer like people, I've never seen a giant one! Endlessly creative, boundlessly imaginative, undoubtedly talented, incredibly patient and not afraid to dig in and keep trying to improve! Im no animation expert and im not picking flaws here, im truly amazed by your project. Especially if this was a solo piece. You absolutely nailed the underwater effect, and the unsettling diminishing visibilty the deeper objects sink. I sincerely hope you continue this if its a passion, and if you do continue, i hope you animate alongside people of equal talent and passion! Be it games or movies or shows, id like to see your work be recognized. Thanks for sharing! Sincerely- a person with submechanophobia and thalassophobia (this video did its job and was very spooky) 👍
I would just immediately try to establish communication if I could keep my wits about me. She giggled playfully, she had a serene, curious look on her face and I'm not going to get away if she wants to kill me. If I can keep her from dragging my boat underwater and can interact with her in a friendly way then she might help me escape. I'd probably try to re-establish contact later because tbh absolutely nothing would top the experience of meeting a creature like that.
It's incredibly good especially when the creature is out of the water and the water splashes back. Though the breaking out of water is quite uncanny, like there's not much water sliding down the face nor the ones that goes with the motion like those on whales. I don't know if it's a design choice or hardware limitation as I am not a vfx expert, so I apologize if my comments don't make sense. But you are a really one talented individual!
Now you've just given me another reason why I don't play in the sea or travel by boat or ship.... The irrational fear of some massive creature being the death of me.
I think one thing that makes going under water scary initially is the bubbles because they just obscure everything until they clear up. You just feel even more vulnerable.
This is good. The begining is very shaky and it makes us feel intimate with the character as if it's a realistic candid documentary, and then the long exposure to the environnement explore the sense of loliness and helplessness. Then the size of the monster is huge and the surprise overwhelming. The first time I saw it I felt this thing in my stomach. Then I rewatched it but the magic was gone because I think everything lays in the first time you discover it. Also the thumbnail, even spoily, was ok because I was still frightened by the size of the monster, coming after a good exposure to the scale of the reality of the filming character. My memory is haunted, good job.
I can watch any horror movie today, and nothing about them triggers anything. The part where "she" drags the boat down, revealing that endless abyss truly draws on a primal fear in me. A fear of a dark, vast, endless, cold place, where movement is extremely limited, breathing is killing you, with blind spots in every angle, and yourself being small, powerless, slow and almost blind in comparison with anything living down there. That is true horror to me. Nothing even comes close.
That's because you watch a lot of garbage ones. To your credit, however, Backroomy, liminal space / scenery simulated CGI offerings have been OK to awesome scary.
@@SOSO_CREPITUS completely agree. I just saw late night with the devil and it was really, really good. Best horror since the vigil imo. If you haven't seen either of those then they're recommended. By me, a total stranger / good horror film fan.
Но в ответ не услышал слов Лишь заиграла его душа В этом лице он узнал её Ту, что так сильно ему нужна! И упал на дно художник погрузившись в вечный сон И заплакала русалка: "Ах, зачем же умер он?"
The last 5 seconds I almost couldn't watch. It's the void, the complete isolation from anything solid, the helplessness and then anticipation. I would always work myself into a panic, always the anticipation, your mind doing more damage then anything. Luckily I live in Wyoming, far far away from my biggest fear.
Something about how casually it drags the boat down is unnerving. Doesn't seem to be done with malice just curiosity for something new.
Like a curious child that found something to play with
Maybe she thought he will die without being submerged in the water, lol. So she quickly helped him
if intense music was added it would make it seem more normal.
Seems like she might have been a bit miffed at you ignoring her like that
You're right, whereas fellow humans ("pirates" for instance), would simply blow the boat up and not leave a living witness.
I don't even have thalassophobia, but I'm now contemplating developing it.
9 out of 10 thalassophobes suggest it
@@asmrthesilentmeow5846 who're you calling a thalassophobe?! Me? Because, yeah, I am.

You don’t have to have an irrational phobia to be scared of this.

You literally do...
Just like being hyper doesn't mean your ADHD but people and doctors just love to misdiagnose because it sounds more severe and grants them special attention if it's a disorder.

Seeing that boat disappear into the depths makes me big uncomfy
That's kinda not very wholesome

@@bluethescrub7408 yeah, not fun, and definitely uncomfy 😂
I have it too I think@@Tchika
The thought of now you’re just in the middle of the ocean swimming and knowing that is under you is terrifying
Absolutely, far superior type of horror than jumpscares.
@@Hellsichtig Right! It kinda makes you wonder what’s scarier, knowing that that creature is under you, or not knowing what’s under you at all and that there could be something even bigger
@@renegadepyro726 We're on the same boat here.. ;D
What scares me most is that you've lost your boat and stuck in the ocean, far from earth. It feels like the worst part has only begun.
Yep! And with that thing swimming around.
You'll just tread water until you get too tired and drown. It will be a very stressful last few hours of life.
Thalassophibia intesnified
He's still on earth tho
Hours? How long can you tread water? It’s more exhausting than riding a bike.
I especially like how the water rushes over her shoulders instead of just being a big typical splash. Really gives her a sense of scale.
That! It's at that point I felt a bit unsettling. It was only the start of it I guess...
"Oh, come on, lady! I had three more payments on that thing!"
"Well, if you don't get back, you now have zero. :)"

one reason i like these is because theres no sudden lazy jumpscare at the end
I hate jump scares
Exactly. I don't mind being shocked but the jump scares (while scary) aren't needed to get the point across.
Just a slow dragscare
Jump scares are cheap terror i agree!
jumpscares are cheap for horrors unlike other horrors which i catch it to be unique with just errie environment, no jumpscares just pure horror

the sudden chills an anxiety when the boot was causally pulled under........🥶🥶🥶
This is actually my biggest fear and the main reason i dont go far out into the water. This video literally took my breathe away
amazing animation! The water looks especially good
Thank you I appreciate it!!
The boat and the ocean are real, and the CGI was post-processed on it.
@@dollar145
What about the footage under water??
@@dollar145 Wrong. It's 100% CGI, I can tell. It does use some shortcuts tho, because it's impossible to render such a big water body.
@@dollar145 Look more closely the boat when it zooms in. It's obviously cg. The water is much harder to tell
There's something about her hand that scared the crap out of me but I loved it at the same time!!!
Thank you so much!
You should have had her devour him.

What’s worse is being left there to float knowing that thing is still under you
I really enjoyed the water physics. Especially the way it reacted when the "monster" surfaced, very realistic.
How dare you call me a monster. I am a sea goddess 🧜♂️
@@infinitejest441 Don't roleplay in the RUclips comments section. That's literally the worst thing you can do.

what really freaked me out was the boat being pulled under and the fear of seeing something terrifying underwater
I'm grateful we didn't see the creature's full size underwater. That would've been mortifying. Just waiting for it to finish you off.
Fantastic atmosphere built here, without any lazy jumpscares and this makes it even more creepy. But also I'm glad she isn't made out to be completely malicious towards the person.
Merperson: henlo fren
Human on the boat: *internal screaming*
Tge POV going further away from the boat was a great touch. The silence and helplessness of the victim and confusion on the creatures face was as well.
INCREDIBLE work animating the water physics coming off her shoulders.
0:31 the absolute panic that set in 😭
i had to watch this by hovering my cursor over the thumbnail and it still got me, this is the first time ive seen someone really grasp how thalassophobia feels without the obvious danger, its the unknown that terrifies me
It would've been incredibly terrifying if at the end. We saw a quick glimpse of it riding off into the darkness ON A MUCH BIGGER CREATURE.
Damn you, I was fucking *dreading* what I’d see as soon as we went under
Fantastic work. 10/10
Wow..
That looks so crazy
The larger than human creature coming up and draggitthe boat down...
Definitely nightmare fuel!
"I find the lack of oxygen down here disturbing 🫧"
😂😂😂
not even killing you, just destroying the thing keeping you alive... *shudders*
I find this especially creepy because you’re expecting a Jumpscare but there’s nothing
I dont have that phobia but damn that was unsettling. Great job!
Just grabbing a little toy boat for her children :D
Oh HECK NO!! Now I won't be able to sleep.
She's just trying to reach you for your extended boat warranty
Okay the thumbnail didnt prepare me that it would be THAT big
Very unnerving and mysterious. Excellent work!
As a programmer I’m always amazed at how animations can be done through programming illustrations.
0:30 The hand about to drag you down is what made me jump. That scares me.
I'd definitely subscribe if I kept seeing this kind of style of video with a gradually increasing production quality
This is your best one yet. No doubt.
Especially when she drags you and the boat underwater.
Still a better love story than Twilight.
I don't know whats more freaky, seeing a creature like that or knowing the fact that i can't swim
I don't have many memories of when I was a child, I was 8 years old and I was leafing through an encyclopedia of the seas and fish, when the figures started to move and the fish started to take on the appearance of piranhas, I ran away and then I told my parents everything. . they probably won't even remember this thing, I'm 30 now and I'm still afraid of that encyclopedia that I never opened again

This is how the next subnautica game should start.

Thanks it helped me to realise I don't have thalasophobia. When the boat drowned I was thinking about the underwater beauty :)
Water when the creature surfaces is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. The slosh over its shoulders after it moves forward… great work!
Respect for actually not having crappy jumpscare at the end of the vid, you actually captured what makes thalassophobia scary.

idk why i watch these when they scare me so bad i have to pause and look away constantly!!
damn, this looked real af
The only issue I have with this is that you can hear the woman giggle but she was underwater when you hear it.
Well she’s an underwater creature. So not that surprising
I think one thing that makes going under water scary initially is the bubbles because they just obscure everything until they clear up. You just feel even more vulnerable.
"Hello I've been trying to reach you about your boat's extended warranty"
Теперь знаю свою фобию, спасибо
Ponyo’s dad meeting the sea goddess 😂❤
Please do a version where we can see the rest of her body under the water, for scale as the boat goes deeper.
Also...totally "would"! 😁
No one with thalassophobia would even consider going on a boat trip in the middle of any body of water. the animation is good though

This is why every ship needs a cannon.
Also, fear of the ocean depths is perfectly rational.
