UPDATE: WOW!!! We hit a million views on this video! Thank you guys so much.

After five very long months, it's finally completed. This animation is a tribute to Hermitcraft Season 8's final story arc, the moon crashing into the server.

This was my first ever season watching Hermitcraft and I wanted to find a way to honor the memory of it in the best way I know how, animating ALL 26 hermits and their "endings" on the server. For the members who didn't have proper endings to their seasons, I tried my best to include shots that referenced their final videos in some way. I had to take creative liberties with some of them :)

For those who have checked in on all the sneak peaks and teasers I've given throughout these months on Twitter, Tumblr, and here on YouTube, thank you for sticking by me and giving me the motivation to finish this behemoth of a project.

Since the song I used is copyrighted, I cannot make a cent from this video. If you're feeling generous and would like to donate so I can produce more animations like this, please feel free on my Ko-Fi here: ko-fi.com/chrisrin

Song: How Far We've Come - Matchbox Twenty
Programs used: Photoshop CS6 for backgrounds, ToonBoom Harmony for animation, Sony Vegas Pro 14 for editing, Aegisub for subtitle editing.

I think my next project will be a little more simple, but for now I'll be taking a break from animation to focus on summer classes (though Double Life has me super intrigued).

also technically, happy one year anniversary to the beginning of HC S8! it was actually a complete coincidence that this happened to fall on the exact same date. i'd say it's fate :)

  • @Joey-vm2jk
    one of the first things i did upon hearing of TFC’s passing was rewatch his little clip in here. it’s so incredibly charming just as he is o7 mine on, legend
  • @Keralis

  • @TangoTekLP
    This had me smiling so hard through the entire thing. Amazing work!
  • @WackoMcGoose
    So let's see... what was everyone's escape plans: * Cub: blasting off with his llama * Zedaph: too busy doing SCIENCE to escape * Joe: fly away on elytra * Cleo: escape to the End, only for the return portal to close * Bdubs: crushed by moon * Tango: blow up the moon * XB: space station * Keralis: also space but outside * Doc and Ren: build a jack-out port to exit the Hermatrix * TFC: ride off on a minecart * Iskall: too busy packing * Etho: coolguy ninjas don't look at falling moons * Hypno: elytra off a horse * Stress: sleep it off in a basement shaft * Beef: hide underground * Mumbo, Grian, Impulse, Scar, Pearl: dive into the void * Gem: go to the Nether * False: fly off on an eagle * Jevin: slime orb of safety * Wels: space shuttle * Xisuma: eventually end up in the Nether as he turns back into doom guy

    Crazy how old the S8 finale is. I remember watching this literally as if it was a month ago yet here we are at Season 10 already
  • @leedesfleurs
    Hits harder after TFC's passing, and feels just right. So thankful you made this. Even with an ending, let's smile when we look back.
  • @SkSkNutella
    This hurts a little to watch now even tho I didn’t really watch TFC I’m still sad that he passed. This video is beautiful no matter what. Thank you Chris
  • @JoeHillsTSD
    I enjoyed this so much! Thank you for working so hard to make something so incredible!
  • @RailGun256
    I like to imagine that this is basically how TFC reached the afterlife, woke up in his mine, jumped into a cart to the next adventure. RIP TFC

    came back after TFC’s passing and i just wanted to say i’m so grateful for hermitcraft and it’s community. i got the same amount of chills as i did the first, and second time immediately after, watching this beautiful animation.
  • Not sure if this was intentional, but Pearl being the right way up during the void escape and everyone else being upsidedown was a cool detail to add to the wrong-way-round-cause-australia thing she has going on.
  • I like the little detail at the end where everyone is logging out and it says “Evil Xisuma left the game”. He may not have been shown in the animation, but he snuck in somehow.
