Why did I make this.Some Nights [SFM]Ajs Film Co.2020-06-01 | A commander and his squad battle at the forefront to make the ultimate sacrifice that neither side will ever forget.
About this Project: This was probably the most fun I’ve had in a project. The song itself had so much life that I nearly listened to it a hundred times before starting the project. I wanted to make a shorter animation considering the last project burnt me out. Though, this project in itself was still a challenge since there were so many models to animate. I also didn’t have that much time to spend as I only gave myself only 3 months to finish everything.
Credits: Here is a link to all models and maps used in this project. (Let me know on Discord if I missed crediting you)
Commissions: I am opening commissions to the public. Below is a link with details. COMMISSIONS OPEN JUNE 5th 2020 [LINK COMING SOON]
Discord: I am launching my new Discord server where I will post WIP’s and host SFM classes and hangout sessions.

About this Project: This was the first time I implemented feedback from animators within the community and created everything from scratch. It was a challenge, but I believe it was a great learning experience. I would like to note that this project was based entirely on personal scene ideas and that most of these may not be story accurate. I tried my best to stay accurate considering I have still not read the books.
Project Details:
Song Name – Nocturnal Creatures by Bastille from the album “Doom Days”
(Credits Song “Doom Days” Instrumental)
Render Time – 56 Hours
Project Time – 630 Hours
Project Length – 4 Months 29 Days (On and Off)
Fun Facts: This project was created entirely on one map named “hugescenebuild”.
There are more than 700 lights in the entire project, 79 being the most in one scene.
Source Filmmaker crashed at least 100 times during the project duration.
Credits: Here is a link to all models and maps used in this project. (Let me know on Discord if I missed crediting you)
I would personally like to thank Wubby Dubby, Uncriticalized, Quillo Manar, Shelbysmol (Pinkie Pyro), PSFMer, and Nyxie for contributing to this project. (Order of Appearance from 3:01 – 3:07)
I would also like to thank Genma, Argodaemon, AredicCore, BeardedDoomGuy, Dazzion, and many more for having resources available to the community. Below is a list of links to these available resources.

**Let me know if I missed crediting something
About the Project: Wow was this project both fun to make and exhausting. I had to research culture and products that came out in 1999 and try to see if I could use any pony models to replicate scenes. I did miss out on some good scenes that just weren’t possible or didn’t have any existing models.
**None of this is supposed to be canon and I chose scenes/models that I believed best fit the scenario.
The Future of Videos: I still plan to make these videos, but I think I will want to do more collaborations as it takes the load off doing the entire project solo. Now that I’m out of school, I can focus on more projects in the future, though it will be a mixture of pony and non-pony related content. I plan to be more active on social media now that I’m out of school.
Special Thanks: There’s a long list of people, but I want to thank those who have created tutorials, models, maps, dmx resources, and much more to make this possible. Thank you for your contributions! :* BesitoApex Legends - Robin Daloot [SFM]Ajs Film Co.2019-04-03 | A parody to King Vader's "Robin Dabank Pt.1" video. This is what happens when my squad pulls up while you loot. I've been playing a lot of Apex Legends so I felt this was appropriate. You may not get the reference so I recommend checking out the original video below.

Xbox and PLAYER UNKNOWNS BATTLEGROUNDS.
About the Video: I made this video for my marketing class in order to show that our made up "Video Production Company" can promote videos of all kinds. Since PUBG released theater mode, I decided to try out a little promotional video. I believe that more companies should focus on theater/movie modes for users to create content such as this. The fact that time can be slowed, cameras FOV can be adjusted, and more just shows how well games can look.
Notes from the Editor: 1. I understand there are a few clips that have the mouse pointer in them, I forgot to move it. 2. I realize that it is lacking a lot of action (with multiple persons), though it was made on a tight schedule at the time and I only had 1 other person to help out. Thanks Hypercide! 3. I don't remember the song I used but I do have the license.

About the Project: I started this project during school time just as practice with re-creating scenes. I wanted to take a break from the music videos and try something new. I think it turned out pretty alright. Anyways, I’ll be working on more projects in the future since break is coming up.
I can’t remember the names of all the animation cycles I used for walks and stuff, but here are the names of a few of the ones I consistently use. Gen-Ma, DamageK, RedAceofSpades, PSFMer, Cnclouddrop.

About the Project: I've been working on this for about 4 months and I'll tell you it was a journey. I wanted to use a happy song but most of the ones I want to use are copyrighted. I decided to hit a good old song by The Fray, except use a cover created by Alex Goot. I know another SFM Animator by the name of Maelstrom created a video using the original song, but I wanted to add a twist (Thank you for the inspiration). I wanted to focus more on fluid non-slow-motion movements and delved a little into body movements. I’m still not comfortable with eyebrows since they add to the production time. I enjoyed the project, yet towards the end I just wanted to get it done so some parts may look rushed. This video was dedicated to IFlySNA94. Thank you for watching the video, and also you Nyxie for the feedback and credits clip.

Song: "World Gone Mad" - Bastille (album from the movie BRIGHT)
NOTE** I have not read any of the PROJECT HORIZON books or any Fallout Equestria Lore. I just made this for fun because if fit the theme.
About the Project: I started this project around January 1st of 2018. I wanted to work mostly on scene building and story for this project. It was going well until school hit me then I started to rush it a little bit. I liked how it turned out. I left a lot of black space at the end by accident but oh well, it can be used for self-promotion lol!

I didn’t realize how long it takes to make a fully animated SFM music video with just one person. I decided to release the models for others to use in their videos. I’m taking a break from these pony videos for a while to focus on other projects and school (not saying I’m going to stop completely, just taking a breather). I will be releasing at least 1 video a month after this project.
Thoughts from the Animator: The first time I listened to this song I was addicted. I listened to it many times because it was composed well and was catchy as hell. Though, breaking down the lyrics I noticed that the theme of the song really is about divorce or relationship problems. I personally am not affected, but some close friends and family have gone through some of the troubles that are involved in divorce/relationship problems.
About the Video: Knowing all the characters in the show, I felt that there weren’t that many videos involving Ms. Harshwhinny and Doctor Caballeron. Based on their models, they seemed like the perfect models as parents. The coolest thing about it is my OC Jack Taylor had a similar skin tone.

Just something I whipped up really quick. Didn't really take me no more than a 4 days to do. I wanted to release something to keep y'all entertained. I focused a lot on more realistic animations without having to rely on other people's animation cycles. I honestly wasn't sure how to end the video so I randomly made it super unexpected. Don't worry, that OC isn't really dead. It was just for the video.
Anyway summer is coming up so I will be posting a lot more SFM content. Thanks everyone for the positive vibes and feedback. /)Ajs Film Co. Live StreamAjs Film Co.2017-03-06 | ...All the Right Moves - OneRepublic [SFM PMV]Ajs Film Co.2017-02-10 | I'm back everyone! Sorry I haven't uploaded for a while, I just got busy with school and work. I got a much faster computer so expect more videos soon!
Project Details:
Video Length: 1:41 Song: All the Right Moves - OneRepublic (Danger Remix) Description: In the video, the lyrics "All the Right Friends in All the Right Places" and "All the Right Moves and all the Right Faces" were the main focus. Each scene implemented some sort of random scenario where the lyrics would take place, thus the random jump cuts. The reason why he's wearing the visor is because in the song, the lyrics are chopped which to me sounded robotic. So I gave him a cyborg/robot look and even cut his movements to mach the cuts.
About the Video: I spent about 3 months on and off this project. Each scene took about 1-3 days to animate. The one thing I noticed in my last video is that it took forever to do a lot of things because the song was so long, so I decided to only use a portion of a song and focus more on animating each scene with great detail. I listened to everyone and focused more on the lip synching, movement, scene building, and much more. Thanks everyone for the feedback! I also featured many OC's of friends and some of my favorite YouTubers to make this project personal.
If you'd like your OC to be featured in the next video, be sure to upload it on Deviantart, PonySFM, or another website for me to download.The Reason [SFM]Ajs Film Co.2016-08-18 | A music video of Hoobastank's "The Reason" animated in Source Filmmaker.
About the Video: This is my third video using Source Filmmaker and I have to say it was probably the toughest one yet. I focused a lot on improving the lip syncing since the last video and getting comfortable using the camera's DoF. I tried out using different maps and scenarios to get myself use to scene building. I also tried to implement some other characters into the video to add more flare. This took me about 2 months to animate so there are some parts that looked rushed and the reason being is that college is starting up soon and I have other video projects that have deadlines.
About the Video: This would be my second animation using Source Filmmaker. I focused mainly on facial expressions, some movement of body parts, lip syncing, and using AO. It took me about 2 months on and off to animate since I was focusing on school as well. It took 3 days and 12 hours to render on my old Gaming PC, but the outcome turned out rewarding. I plan on working on SFM some more during the summer. There are certain animations/sequences that seem a little rushed. I would have spent longer tweaking and finalizing them if I hadn't been on such a time crunch.
*I am aware of the clipping with the clothing. The issue was the clothing itself and the animation mixing together.
I appreciate any feedback as it helps me understand and improve in the future.
