one reason i like these is because theres no sudden lazy jumpscare at the end

"... and that, kids, is how i met your mother."

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.

I don't even have thalassophobia, but I'm now contemplating developing it.

Something about how casually it drags the boat down is unnerving. Doesn't seem to be done with malice just curiosity for something new.

"You look lonely....I can fix that."

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

The thought of now you’re just in the middle of the ocean swimming and knowing that is under you is terrifying

Seeing that boat disappear into the depths makes me big uncomfy

"Oh, come on, lady! I had three more payments on that thing!"

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.

"You are my friend now! 😀"

amazing animation! The water looks especially good

it wouldve been 10x scarier if you showed the monster underwater

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.

There's something about her hand that scared the crap out of me but I loved it at the same time!!!

This the type of shit that goes down in the Bermuda Triangle

the sudden chills an anxiety when the boot was causally pulled under........🥶🥶🥶

0:22 I’ve come to discuss with you about your extended boat warranty…” 🧜🏻‍♀️

I really enjoyed the water physics. Especially the way it reacted when the "monster" surfaced, very realistic.

That mermaid is HUGE!

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.

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

You know, I was watching this being like "Hey, this isn't so bad.." *AND THEN IT GRABBED THE BOAT*

INCREDIBLE work animating the water physics coming off her shoulders.

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.

I find this especially creepy because you’re expecting a Jumpscare but there’s nothing

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.

Still a better love story than Twilight.

That's one of the creepiest things I have ever seen, I literally felt the ground beneath my feet disappear for a good minute. Well done.

Damn you, I was fucking *dreading* what I’d see as soon as we went under Fantastic work. 10/10

Your thalassophobia animations are great ! Just the right mix of eerie and creepy and the water looks so realistic.

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.

This is how the next subnautica game should start.

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

Okay the thumbnail didnt prepare me that it would be THAT big Very unnerving and mysterious. Excellent work!

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.

0:30 The hand about to drag you down is what made me jump. That scares me.

I dont have that phobia but damn that was unsettling. Great job!

Wow.. That looks so crazy The larger than human creature coming up and draggitthe boat down... Definitely nightmare fuel!

He turned around and tried to start the boat again like “oh hell naw.” 😂

not even killing you, just destroying the thing keeping you alive... *shudders*

Oh HECK NO!! Now I won't be able to sleep.

Sometimes I wonder how it'd be if they made VR horror movies. Where your POV is the MCs the whole time. That type of thing for this would probably be a new level of fear

Just grabbing a little toy boat for her children :D

low key pretty attractive monster

monsters would be fine but actually a giant like that is crazy scary, just swimming in the ocean and toying with you lmao would have been more scarier if you showed the giants body underwater as well after main characther dips into the ocean

I don't know whats more freaky, seeing a creature like that or knowing the fact that i can't swim

Very good job! Really created discomfort and a sense of fear in me. The timing is spot on and an overall great video

That was really great, scary but great.

Thank you for not jump scaring me at the end 😭😭 this made me so uncomfortable watching, great job!

That’s genuinely terrifying! Great work!

HOLY HORROR! Amazingly done and freaked me out worse than I expected!!!

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

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.

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.

The progress in a few months is astounding friend. Hope to see more of your work❤

I was fine till we went under then my heart started pounding 😭

As a programmer I’m always amazed at how animations can be done through programming illustrations.

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.

The sound when she grabbed onto the boat made me jump in my seat, holy crap.

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) 👍

0:31 the absolute panic that set in 😭

damn, this looked real af

Thank you for giving my fears of deep waters legitimacy

what really freaked me out was the boat being pulled under and the fear of seeing something terrifying underwater

Not much scares me these days but when that head emerged from the water my hair stood on end. Even rewatching it triggers some kind of primal fear reaction in me. Sensational work, you belong in Hollywood.

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!

Respect for actually not having crappy jumpscare at the end of the vid, you actually captured what makes thalassophobia scary.

Now this is art!

What’s worse is being left there to float knowing that thing is still under you

I love these Thalassaphobia vids because as someone who absolutely adores the sea, this is so uniquely relaxing. I'm just floating in the void like a happy fish. No worries. No stress. Just the endless blue of the sea and my new giant mermaid friend.

I've wondered for a long time about the horror of mermaids being immense. Sends a chill through me.

Add that to my list of phobias.

Beautiful work, and SCARY. Really well directed and animated.

Water when the creature surfaces is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. The slosh over its shoulders after it moves forward… great work!

what a cute giant humanoid creature 🥰

Теперь знаю свою фобию, спасибо

idk why i watch these when they scare me so bad i have to pause and look away constantly!!

This video really puts the viewer in the feel of the unseen character on screen. Well done.

I dont even know how to make a bone in blender, but I fell like the creature face doesnt move and is kinda "dead", what I mean by that is that the face is very static and doesnt looks like a live being. You could make it blink or move a bit its mouth. But the videos is still AMAZING and better than anything that I made in blender. I hope your channel gets to 100k subs.

Excelent work! I love this one!

Thank you for adding another fear to my list about the ocean ❤ from a new subscriber

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"! 😁

Awesome 👌

This is the kind of thing I wish I'd see in video games, pure imagination. This 47 seconds was enough to make me want to know more of the story... Well done.

I never knew I had thalassophobia until now. That was extremely unsettling.

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'm afraid of dark waters, because I keep imagining a very large snake or alligator in there

This was so unnerving, good job

Thanks it helped me to realise I don't have thalasophobia. When the boat drowned I was thinking about the underwater beauty :)

if only your boats dashboard didnt look like crap (compared to the rest) this would be so real

Just me: "So like... are we married now? or...?"

I really needed this extra anxiety, thanks. lol

If you showed the colossal figure underwater, obscured by the murky water and darkness it would’ve been peak scary.

here me out

nah...... 💀 someone is beating it to this, i just know. cause I'm him.

Great, an animated fever dream. I was so waiting for this...

Ohhhhhh thats a good one! Cant wait to see more!
