An Undeniably Canon Five Nights at Freddy's Timeline (Part 1)

**An Undeniably Canon Five Nights at Freddy's Timeline (Part 1)** is the first episode in the UCFT Youtube series. It was released on July 30th 2022.

## Video description

It's time to truly crack open the mysteries of the FNaF Lore, and solve the timeline once and for all. Don't worry, Scott Cawthon sent me his lore doc so you know it's real. Trust me. A huge thank you to my friend Hydatiid, who is responsible for nearly 300 of the scenes you see in this video! This project would not have come out nearly as well as it did (if at all) without him.

## Synopsis

After noticing the lack of yellow Grizzlies in Hurricane, William Afton's and Henry Emily's fates are sealed, as they keep on building yet new bear themed animatronic pizzerias, with each one leading to more and more tragic incidents. William, determined to get back the $5 Henry had borrowed, comes up with the most convoluted of plans to sabotage his old friend, causing him to destroy lives of countless innocent people, including his family's, along the way.

## Official FAQ

**"Is this Dayshift at Freddy’s?"**

No… you should probably actually play DSaF 1-3! Those games have some crazy lore and they're very disconnected from a traditional FNaF timeline. If I was making a DSaF timeline I'd make an actual DSaF timeline that preferably uses its main characters and settings.

Henry Miller, Jack Kennedy, the Phone Guys, and Dave Miller are all very important characters with extremely different personalities than the mainline FNaF characters. Which, by the way… the name Dave Miller originated from the FNaF novels as an alias of William. Just thought you should know.

**"FNaF 1 is after FNaF 2!!!"**

Good thing I put it after FNaF 2.

**"What was used to make the images?"**

Clip Studio Paint, minigame style art was made with the polyline tool specifically to give it that more stylized look.

**"Isn't the town's name pronounced Hurri-cuhn?"**

Utah does not deserve my respect. I will say the word Hurricane like a normal person.

### Marketing history

* **Between January and April 2022** – Presumably first reveal of a new timeline video, a teaser image of William Afton kicking Foxy in the knee caps as 6 generic children and Henry Emily watch on was posted to the ooftroop's YouTube community page on a now indecipherable date, the production at the time being called ***An Objective-er and True-er FNaF Timeline***.
* **March 28, 2022** – Two teaser images, one depicting William and Henry realizing they have never seen a yellow grizzly and another of Ferdinand Von Bernard after he was created for the first time, were posted on the ooftroop's twitter account.
* **March 29, 2022** – A teaser image of William and Henry presenting Fredbear at the Hurricane Dump, with Eleanor Schmidt buried in the garbage, was tweeted out, now calling the video ***New and Improved Timeline Video.***
* **March 30, 2022** – A final pre-Hydatiid teaser image, of William and Henry presenting Reginald the Robot on the background footage of some robotics convention, was posted to the YouTube community tab, predicting the video' release date to be April, or May, Now confirmed to be titled ***An Undeniably Canon FNaF Timeline***

### Behind the scenes

After scrapping the idea for An Objective & True Summary of Security Breach due to its exponential expansion during the writing process, the ooftroop decided that although they was very proud of *An Objective & True Five Nights at Freddy's Timeline*, they could do better with that idea while covering the new material from FNaF9 and utilizing some missed opportunities from before by making a full remake. Their original goal for this new version of the timeline was to make a full, cohesive, comedic take on the FNaF storyline that would take more advantage of the absurdity of objective & true timeline's first half, as they didn't like the second half being more so just a summary of the actual FNaF, simply with the addition of a couple sarcastic remarks.

Ooftroop wrote the initial script in January 2022, before starting to draw out first scenes. Throughout the following 5 months 5 teasers were posted, but despite them the progress was considered minimal, the lack of it caused by ootroop's mental health problems. The art was deemed a downgrade, narration worse and Oof could not escape the trap of procrastination. Hydatiid, meanwhile, inspired by the style of Objective & True timeline's poly-art segments, drew a bunch of fanart depicting the Objective & True William (and a ghost kid once) in early-mid June. Oof finding out about it that same month, taken aback by the artwork's quality, asked him if he would be willing to help with the project.

The production completely changed, as the two artists began working in perfect synchrony. First image Hydatiid made was of William insisting Henry lets him name Springbonnie "Springbonnie". Ooftroop also practiced matching Hydatiid's more detailed artstyle at that point, drawing his own rendition of the newly redesigned Undeniably Canon William.

They both storyboarded the whole script together prior to beginning any work on the proper assets, adding and refining many of the jokes along the way. One change made by Hydattid included changing The Suspect's mascot costume. From what was originally a monkey, Hydatiid made two alternative scenes, one of Chuck E. Cheese and one of Popgoes the Weasel, with the latter chosen after around 10 minutes of deliberation.

Other than that, most of June and July was spent on Hydatiid drawing and sending Oof images to animate, as the latter edited the video. The only problem were frequent continuity errors. One such instance being with the initial drawing of Trevor Rovert's first conga line including Gabriel Johnson, Lil' Jeremy Fitzgerald and Cassidy Brooks, with the duo having forgotten about the 2 year gap, quickly replacing them with Michael Afton's UNO buddies. The revealed scene also shows Jeremy's hair having been light brown rather than the final dark color. Another scene of this sort was of William and Henry looking at the three main stage classic animatronics, having their 90's designs despite the scene taking place in '85. The drawing was simply edited to feature the old models with the first being reused later in the video. Hydatiid also had a habit of coloring William purple in pre-MCI scenes, such as the Jr's shots.

As things went along, it was decided that the video be extended from ending with the closing of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza (Location #2) to doing so at William Afton's death in 1993, with ooftroop writing the remaining script, both because of the vastly improved workflow and because the ooftroop realized that the former was an unsatisfying cliffhanger.

Although the original goal behind the production of Objective & True timeline was to use different ways of visualizing script, with Undeniably Canon timeline meant to retain that style of constant switching between vertex-art, cartoony illustrations and direct FNaF footage, Hydatiid's arrival made Oof decide to keep things simpler and more consistent, limiting the artstyles to only vertex-art and minigame footage, with cartoony illustration kept exclusive to the meta segments.
