I made this to express my love for the dream smp and to remember it always. :) thank you for all the stories.

I wanted to challenge myself a bit with this one and fully color it :D Ever since this stream I wanted to make this into a video and now I finally got to do it. Definitely one of my favorite moments on the Dream SMP.

And I wanted something to recap the events on the SMP. Can't believe it's already been a year since the events of November 16th. This SMP has brought me a lot of comfort and inspiration during these times. :) I'm grateful for all the members for creating such an incredible story.

Audio is from Foolish's stream with Tommy after Wilbur was revived.

    Wow... this is absolutely incredible. outstanding. Thank you so much for making this, your animation skills paired with the music are absolutely mental, this made me emotional haha. One of the best animatics I've seen ever
  • I love how a character as old as Foolish was proven wrong by a character as young as Tommy. It just shows that despite their different experiences are, they still have a lot to learn
  • @MarigoldWisp
    Holy crap. Tommy had so much more development than I previously thought. He really has evolved from a person with one-dimensional goals to a person with his own moral philosophies, innate values and wisdom that all match up with his personality. None of this feels forced or wedged into Tommy’s arc, it’s a natural and organic progression of what he’s been through. And that’s fuckin beautiful.
  • The soft music just brings the audio together, and the art is PHENOMENAL! And it’s fully colored?! Wow, this has to be one of the best animatics I’ve seen yet!

    “Ya know the phrase treat others the way you want to be treated? Well Wilbur disregarded that rule, he decided he wanted to be treated poorly so he’d treat everyone poorly” “Why do u think that?” “Sometimes I don’t even know myself” Straight in the feels, C!tommy character development is so good

    "I think Wilbur is just being a bad guy, and that's okay, we are all bad guys, everyone messes up. You learn the most from your mistakes" "It's not about chances, it's about not giving up on the people you care about" I'm actually crying Man, the character development And the fact that he's saying all this to Foolish considering his story makes it even more beautiful How had I never heard this speech before? Congratulations, you did an absolutely outstanding job, definitely one of my new favorite pieces to come out of this fandom
  • @Ffurea
    “Some people aren’t strong enough, some people stop talking” hit me hard for some reason. this pmv is so amazing and well thought out I love it sm
  • @anSAMations
    Absolutely outstanding. The composition is clearly well thought out, the colours and temperatures, the duality between wilbur and Tommy when he says that everyone messes up, the imagery to add to the poignancy of Tommy's dialogue - masterfully made. Some of your best stuff yet!
  • @an_awkward_shit
    This speech is one of my all-time favorites of Tommy’s. What I think I love the most about this speech is that it really reflects not only how Tommy sees Wilbur and everything that went down but also displays more clearly who he truly is inside to others. Tommy’s had plenty to say before, and he’s said it, but sometimes his childish manner of speaking and difficulty with communicating has caused the meaningful things he HAS said before to become lost in translation, making not only other characters in the story brush Tommy off or wrongly perceive something he’s said, but also the viewers themselves to miss the deeper meaning behind Tommy’s usual speech patterns and brash attitude. This speech is one of the rare times Tommy is effectively communicating his thoughts with someone as well as revealing a side to him he doesn’t often bare to people. He’s not yelling or rambling or speaking in a manner that is barely understandable to those who has no prior knowledge to what he’s referring to; he’s quiet and calm and speaking with his heart instead of his mouth. Despite his usual demeanor and being a child, viewers and characters alike forget that Tommy fought in wars and went through stuff most adults don’t ever experience. He carries a lot of wisdom and kindness that many miss because they only see what’s on the surface, what Tommy lets people see. And, in the end, despite the very different mannerism in which Tommy delivers this speech, it’s still very clearly Tommy, showed most pointedly when Tommy says, “Thanks, I guess there’s more to you, too.” He does this with a tone of someone not only unused to genuinely taking compliments but as a person awkwardly (and somewhat reluctantly) trying to give a positive response back but just ending up sounding petulant and sarcastic (a very Tommy vibe👌).

    The shot changing from Wilbur's face to Tommy's as he says "Everyone's messes up. You learn the most from your mistakes." is such a little thing but amazing. This whole thing is AMAZING.
  • @ToKtopus
    What is your favorite Dream SMP moment? I'd love to know! :D I'm so happy to have discovered the Dream SMP. It's been so much fun following the story, and it has inspired me so much. <3
  • @dttplm
    I love how this scene was completely impromptu, can't believe this was the same stream as the sea cucumber one. You did so well, everything about this is beautiful! The composition, the choice of colors, just everything
  • @lunanight1342
    This is for sure the best animation I've seen about Tommy lore, not only because it was a good piece of the lore but the music, the colors and the cute style you have made it perfect. Keep up 👍
  • @KeganLeavess
    This is so beautiful, with how the story is told through Tommy, and how the lighting and shading just contribute so well to the nostalgic atmosphere alongside moments of uncertainly. Just excellent
  • @WiFiDown37811
    "I don't believe in second chances. I just believe that everyone has some good in them. A little good in them. It's not about chances. It's about not giving up on the people you care about" In this moment, Tommy is possibly the wisest person I've ever seen and he's earned so much respect from me
  • we don't really get to see tommy show this side of himself to other characters much, it's nice to see foolish be one to finally see this side of him
  • This animatic is incredible and it still holds up regardless of recent allegations— I will always enjoy art like this and c!wilbur’s story arc.
  • @kokopuff_9495
    The frame with quackity taking his shirt of and everyone's reaction is just like the base of what the dream smp is. Its like the relationship between them all
  • @t0mmyh3llfr39
    this is like one of my favorite smp moments, its showing how tommy's character grew and his point of view on things but also ti showed foolish the story of L'manburg, love it also love the shroud moment too
  • @rachelfc_art
    Bro… I’m tearing up. The colors are gorgeous and capture the mood of each scene incredibly well. The music choice was brilliant and I absolutely love your art style. The composition too… really just everything was really well done. I loved this particular moment on stream because so much of Dream smp is action. This is probably why I loved Wilbur’s writing so much because there were times where it was just 15 minutes of reflection and monologue. In those moments we were able to take a break, and the characters also took a break. The fact that this dialogue isn’t even from Tommy’s stream really makes it feel that time on the Dream smp is still moving. It’s just that we’re so used to action that it feels like it’s stopped for awhile now, but not everyday of a character has to feel like chaos. This animatic perfectly captures that feeling of calm yet melancholy.
