EP6: Five Nights at Cindy's MAP & MOVIE

On April 20, 2019, the official map based on the game Five Nights at Cindy's 2019 was posted to the Planet Minecraft website. The map was built for a very long time, since all the Chapters are present on it at once! All locations are decorated in minecraft style.

Initially, the map was built only for entertainment, but after some time of building the map, it was planned to realize a real Minecraft Movie! Of course, half of the material has long been lost, and the movie stopped being developed immediately after the first render of the first scenes. But here we will show you in more detail about the development of the movie.

There are some strange construction solutions on the map in the second and third chapters, but due to a little experience in buildings at that time, it was very late to fix something.

**MOVIE**
During the building of the map, the F▪Games team was thinking about making a movie. The plot was supposed to be a repeat of the plot of Five Nights at Cindy's 2019, but modified for the movie. The design was supposed to be in Minecraft style and everything is animated in Mine-imator.

We didn't want to make a movie by shooting real players on the map. There were many reasons for this, of which the most global was the inability to shoot scenes with good FPS. Agree that watching a movie at 20-40 FPS is not particularly pleasant and with bad graphics, it isn't looking like good project. Also, one of the reasons is perception. With real actors, of whom we had very few, who had no experience in acting, it is difficult to make a good movie or short film. There were also many other reasons that also greatly influenced the development of the movie.

**CHARACTERS**
All characters from the chapters were modeled by one person, whose nickname we will not name here. Of all the files found, we have only screenshots of the finished animatronics gang from the fourth chapter: Ugly Cindy, Candy, Smiley. There are also screenshots of a ready-made Horror Chica from the third chapter and Standard Smiley (fixed version).

Other animatronics from other chapters were also ready, such as Broken animatronics (Cindy, Candy, Smiley) from the second chapter, standard versions of Candy and Cindy from the first chapter. But the screenshots with this animatronics models were lost forever and there is no way to find them anymore.

**ANIMATIONS**

In addition to screenshots of the characters, we also managed to find test animations for the film. These scenes are still raw, but were ready for use. The image shows a security guard entering the "Cindy Burgers" restaurant.

Other scenes were also ready, which were lost forever. One of them displayed a scene with a road, where was the car driven by the security guard. The scene was too complicated for rendering for our animator, so perhaps this scene was not even fully rendered and remained only in the deleted project.

The environment and locations were also enlivened by the program's tools. The picture became lively and pleasing to the eye. Just the same, there were lively trees on the scene with the road, which may have caused rendering difficulties.

By the way, yes, the all animations in the movie was animated by only one person. All you see here are his hands of deeds. Every model, every animation is his. Frond Fox only supervised the development process and wrote the script for the movie, but did not interfere in the animation. This is part of the reason why the movie was cancelled soon after.

These are all the scenes and materials that we managed to find. But it's also enough to imagine what the movie would look like if it were finished.
