BonBun Films | IT'S A FAZBEAR CHRISTMAS! - Five Nights at Freddy's Christmas Animation Movie @BonBunFilms | Uploaded January 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 days ago.
Santa Claus’ Christmas magic is running out, and Christmas day is coming closer than ever! With the help of Freddy Fazbear and his friends, will Santa be able to raise enough Christmas cheer to power his sleigh in time?

Title edit: The video wasn't getting a lot of impressions, so I condensed the title to convey the video's contents more clearly (at the expense of immersion). If the video picks up some views, I'll likely change it back eventually!

_________________________

If you’re reading this before the video premiere, I’d first like to apologise for the lateness of this upload. My original release date predictions (those being initially Christmas day, then before 2024, then within the first week of 2024) were based on my progress speed while working before Christmas. Since Christmas passed, I have experienced a severe hit to my motivation, which I was initially confident I could push through. However, the harder I worked myself, I pushed myself further into a serious artistic burnout, which impacted both the project and my mental state at the time.

When I released the trailer, my original intentions were to spend Christmas eve and day with my family and friends, before immediately picking back up work on the 26th, leaving me only two break days over the month of work I had already put into the project. As you can certainly tell by now, I ended up needing a fair amount more than those two days, and by the time I resumed work it was already the next year. After a while I realised that since the video was already late, it wasn’t going to be worth rushing it out, and I wanted to take some extra time to make sure the final product was of the quality you should expect from me. Now finally, after weeks of work, the video is here! And it’s already far too late to be remotely relevant!

Maybe just remember to come back next year…


Following this video’s production, I’ve learned an important lesson about self-expectations and, more importantly, work deadlines. Going forward, I will be better for my viewers (and I will release my videos when I promise them!)
