Why do people LOVE Minecraft? There's more to it than you think.
Well, it’s time to answer that question the best way I know how: by making a MEGA Minecraft build. Obviously.

Sorry that it took so long for this one to come out, I taught myself the basics of animating for this video, and it kinda overtook my life for a couple weeks. I’m building towards a video every month, and I appreciate everybody’s patience.

@DogeCreations Жыл бұрын

not sure what you use for adding the effects in the animations, but if you don't already, i'd highly recommend using after effects and learning that. Most minecraft animators i've watched add them effects with AE, so maybe it's worth lookin into it. (If you already use after effects then uhh.. keep practicing and im sure you'll get the hang of it lol) But yea, i really like how you're learning and trying new things, definitely makes the content more interesting! :]

One of my areas of particular interest in ancient history and the transition into the early middle ages. Minecraft has been a tool to explore all these interests and scenarios I can envision related that would otherwise never been seen otherwise. Being able to explore these vast and cavernous ruins with humble dwellings nestled within is such an interesting prospect unique to Minecraft for its accessibility.

When I saw this video on my KZfaq homepage I thought, "okay, another very cool building video!" But HOLY MACKAROLY did this video surprise me! The combination of storytelling, building, showing off landscapes, ingame cinematics AND for the cherry on top animated renders is just fricking legendary! You seriously did a very good job with combining everything and hooking you viewers to the video. There wasnt a single moment where I thought "ahh, lets skip that part. It is boring". And tbh I do not have to start with the quality of the entire video. Your builds are simply out of this world and fit perfectly to this hooking story. The cinematics and renders give that already amazing footage the kick to be unique and feeling whole. Thank you for this awesome video and I am really excited for part 2!

What a wonderful video! People raise an eyebrow when I say I'm into Minecraft, mostly because I'm a middle-age woman, not really the usual demographics, although Minecraft does span generations. I say that it is my creative outlet at the moment. Sometimes I craft things irl - but then what do you do with the things you make? And materials/tools are ever more expensive. Minecraft is free on an ongoing basis. It has limitations just like real life, in vanilla we have a limited block palette, we have limitations with mechanics, but it's a tool, use it within it's limits and it can give so much. It's just a canvas, or an open notebook. Write, draw and express your craft in whatever way you please. And so I imagine this daft old woman will be messing with mc for as long as the platform exists. If people want to see my art - well, they'll have to log on and visit me :)

It's an amazing game with great communities that I strive to befriend when I can. sorry if this is long and kinda strange for a random commenter to type at 9:50 pm (dang, should I go to sleep? nahhh)
