it also doesn't help that the person walking there doesn't react at all, i'd imagine that when the person sees the monster it would at least jump a little which would make the camera shake, and also with the door it kinda doesn't make sense that they wouldn't at least slow down a little if the door just opened by it self

The issue for me is that there is monsters plural. Less is more. Even the scariest entity possible loses all fear factor if you fill a room with them. 90% of the work going into building terror is actually the time you let the player/viewer spend away from the creature.

Same reason something like Metroid Prime isn't really all that scary, even in the blackout sections. Samus Aran is a certified badass who is well equipped to take on whatever the Space Pirates throw at her, and as the various pirate logs show, they are _far_ more afraid of her than she is of them. Since the point-of-view character is not afraid, neither is the audience.

15:27 Dude... Peter's render looks like something you'd see on Love, Death, & Robots... It's stellar. That dude has an absolutely astonishing level of technical ability and creativity. He's got an eye for every single type of "challenge" that it's amazing to see whatever the hell he's going to come up with. Don't get me wrong, I liked the other renders too. I loved how Wren's went into a loop animation. I loved the ambiance of Sam's render. Jordan's had a fantastic feel to the entire scenario and animation. But Peter was the only one to think waaaay outside the norm and everything was spot on. From the camera view to the lighting to the scene to the sound design, I think he made the best by a mile.

This was a fun challenge, and everyone did a great job with their renders! But creating "fear" is a difficult challenge; usually the more you "try" to be scary, the less scary you actually are. So, I think if the goal was to get Niko's heart rate up, they should've gone more "psychological" and created a "discomforting" render, which no doubt, sound design would be incredibly important for. Rather than a setting that is "obviously" dangerous, something less obvious and more relatable and off putting.

That's true, I was thinking the same. And in my opinion, jump scares are cheap, it's used to make something unscary to feel scary for a short moment. It's more getting startled than scared. For me, something scary is something my mind can't really identify, but I at the same time know what it is. Like unnaturally distorted human faces and bodies. And it shouldn't be a jump, it needs to be something you know is there, but you want to get as far away from it as possible.

And maybe cut 90% of them out. I mean the first one was visible for several seconds right at the start and you got a good look at it instead of just glimpses.

The one thing that really took me out of Wren and Jordan's renders were the instant animation change when the monsters start chasing. One moment they're stationary, the next they're half way through their run animation towards you. It felt very gamey, particularly given the first-person view. As for Sam's render, I felt more exasperated "why are you not leaving?!" than spooked. And Peter's render, it too fell into the jump scare trap, instead of leaning into the unsettling nature of the ocean. Like, imagine instead if he went exploring an old wreck, but when he went to resurface, a jellyfish bloom had arrived above the ship. EDIT: I also think the sound effects on Peter's render actually lessened the scariness of it. Imagine instead the sound of a large mass moving through water, the sound of a large tail fin. Maybe some rumble as it got closer. Instead we got ear-piercing metal-on-metal, or whatever that was. Loud ≠ scary.

agreed, one of the scariest parts about water is not hearing much of anything, maybe some muffled sounds or what not. perhaps even making the shark a bit less visible when it first appears would have made it even more suspenseful. but other than that, the render did somewhat trigger my thalassophobia

This shows perfectly how hard it actually is to make something at least a little bit spooky.

Honestly I thought the 3rd shot was even better. The diver's interaction with grabbing onto the boat was top notch.

Great concepts, and I’m glad they at least did this challenge. Problem is that I felt like Niko watching these. They looked good (Sam’s in particular), but didn’t really have that creep factor. A lot of what was supposed to be the ultimate moment always felt expected. Could be just me, but I feel the best moments are when you never see it coming. Jordan’s was the best at this revealing that other character when the camera quickly turns. Peter’s was the best at building tension, but I knew exactly what was happening in the final shot. I think Peter’s piece would’ve been better with more elevated breathing, and just when the diver thinks it’s safe to move somewhere safer, the shark slams into him from out of the frame. Overall, great idea and I hope they re-visit this in the future. In the meantime, I hope they watch movies like The Witch (2015), and The Blair Witch Project to get a good sense of what creeps people out.

I liked this format for a challenge video, showing the process of each one and the final product, followed by Niko's reaction to it, was a good way to keep interest throughout the whole video. Not to say the other formats were uninteresting, not in the least.

The problem I have with Sam's, is that the cameraman never reacts to the creepies

I love how in Sam's the hallway sconces imitated the monster's eyes, and the parallax revealed they weren't eyes.

I think the best part of sams was the use of the sconces on the wall everywhere. All of them having the double bulbs/candles does a great job of mimicing the eyes of the creatures in the distance of the shots. I think if he had the viewpoint slowly pick up speed as he is realizing they are all around him to a point he is running it would really help also if the creatures were coming towards him but only kind of shrink away when the light hits them. Maybe have the viewpoint look back and forth trying to keep light everywhere but it slowly becoming futile as they come clawing out of the shadows. Still wonderful concept.

The hand held camera movement really does wonders for Sam's video. I just wish the creeper right at the end wouldn't fall in such a weird simulated ragdoll kinda way.

LMFAOOO YOURE RIGHT

I just realized how to put into words one of the BIG things I love about you guys's videos: it's all about critique. Sitting around talking about art (yours or a big movie or whatever), discussing how it makes you feel, how it was done, what might be done better, etc. I come from a traditional painting background and (1) I always love crits and (2) I find that 'normal' people often don't know how to participate in this kind of activity. Thanks for all of these!

One thing Peter could have done i think was if we heard the diver's heartrate, and then increase it after he spots the shark, getting faster when he was "floating" before the bite. Whenever I watch or play horror games where heartbeat is audible, my own heart tries to match it.

As a diver, I notice several things about Peter's render that could be improved (for realism and creepiness). 1. add bubbles when the diver exhales. 2. divers try not to swim with their arms or bump/touch anything (getting caught on something sucks). 3. the diver moves like the resistance of the water isn't there; slow him (and the shark) down. all in all, nice work given the time constraints! If I weren't a diver, it probably would've spooked me.

The scariest thing is how calm Niko is He is so calm that horror movies bring him to the hospital by lowering his heart rate

Guys, this is the best engaging video from you so far, instead of waiting to see the results in the end you make it more engaging with this approach, Great work 🔥

I think part of what makes horror genuinely scary is a tonal shift - if a scene is filled with tension from beginning to end, then it becomes numbing. Same principle applies if you want to make your viewers angry, happy, or sad, you create a tonal shift. The greater the shift in tone - over an appropriate amount of time - the more affected the viewer will be.

I think Peter did the best because it was a lot more subtle for the most part. The best horror works from unease and dread setting the mood. Imagine Niko watching a photorealistic render of himself, but something's not quite right, delving that bit in to the valley for the setup.

Niko doesn't fear the danger. He IS the danger.

My first thought was an ocean pov render where you can't quite see what's around you. Peter is a genious

Thalassophobia will always be top of my list for scares. 5 minutes into this video I was saying to myself "do that and you win" and Peter comes in clutch.

Agreed that Peter's was best. Though Jordan's was a strong 2nd, only part I didn't like was the camera panning over to the next creepy thing (12:05) without any visual or auditory reasoning for it. Stepping on the blood pooling up being the initiation of our attention change (and then taking a couple steps back before turning around and running (due to the spider toy), all while leaving a slowly fading bloody shoeprint behind) would've been a nice addition. Or just having the door make a creaking noise while opening if short on time would've been enough. _Edit: The door does creak, but it starts _*_after_*_ the camera pans over_ Regardless, great job guys! Feels like character animation quality has gone way up lately, just less jank in general.

I like the edit breaking up the renders instead of lumping them all at the end.

still one of the most scary movies, that i still love watching, is alien from 1979; not only is it a good movie overall, it's also really good at hiding the jump moments.

Everyones renders looked like video games trying to cash out on a cheap jump scare. Peters is the only one that came close to being scary. He went for a more cinematic approach, his sound design wasn't distracting, he obscured the viewers vision (which makes us uncomfortable) and most importantly, there is a build up. Its almost like he did research on scary movie scenes 🤔

Hats off to everybody's work, and I have to say that Peter's piece had the vibe of a Love Death + Robots short.

I love these render challenges! So entertaining every time!

What would have been even scarier on Sam's video is if he made the camera operator seem very aware he wasn't alone and that he's in danger. It just look like a casual stroll, like, "Hey guys! How are you doing today?" Also, as he entered the one larger hallway, nothing is more scarier than hearing something approaching behind you making noise (this was a missed opportunity) and having the camera operator show that he realizes it too, only to make the camera operator turn around to see that whenever hears is gone but turning back, hears the sound even closer until the big reveal.

Love the fact that everyone uses different softwares to achieve the goal. As someone who uses C4D and Octane, I sometimes wanna switch to blender, unreal or houdini everytime I see them using a different tool or plugin.
