I cant stop rewatching this its so increidble

FULLY COLORED TOO?? THIS IS ABSOLUTELY NEXT-LEVEL STUFF RIGHT HERE

I like that in this, "Stanley" is a full-on gymnast, while in The Stanley Parable, Stanley can't jump 80% of the time.

"Stanley was a casual office worker" the entire fandoms invisionment of him:

You know it’s a good animation when you can still enjoy it so much without knowing anything about the story.

I think we can all agree that Sad-ist animations are literal eye candy.

the parkour scenes were absolutely FABULOUS. the scenes felt like they were from the game 'Vector' but fully colored.

Y'know when you listen to a song and go, "I could make an animation of this if I could actually animate," and then every scene plays out in your head? That's what this video is, SAD-ist had that idea and actually followed through with it because they can actually animate

Sad your animation is always so cool, I love how dynamic this is :DD That scene with the dude jumping around on floating debris is so cool, not to mention when he crashes into the office

The camera turning around the character as they run; the sync on dodging over, under and through obstacles; the rapid yet carefully placed layering of multiple cut-ins; both main character's emotional reflections being framed in various items; the incredible and seemless zoom from character to camera lens as that doorknob is thrown; the change from fully coloured to unstable linework and back into a fully coloured BAM frame _my GOD!!_ And yet it's this simple moment at 1:38 that gets me. Run Cycle > Camera Rotation > Split Screen Focus of Face and Feet > Breaking through the Split Screen on the Turn _while Syncing with the Music_ AND the Character Overlaps The Cinematic Border in a way that's dramatic, visually pleasing and an indication of a symbolic turning point in the character's mindset/intentions!!! Holy shit!!

I absolutely LOVE the idea that this is a sequel to black decay. the narrator after loosing stanley was so possessive and protective and honestly deranged that he built an entire fake reality with his newfound powers. just to keep this copy of his deceased friend (or lover? cant rly tell) alive. willing to kill him over and over again if it means they get to keep having adventures. seriously fantastic work. I am IN LOVE with this concept for TSP

1:11 i just noticed in the next scene he’s clutching the spot where he just got injured, such a cool detail!

These two characters have more personality than most isekai protagonists.

Fuck yeah that was sick!

I love the “BAM!” Sound effect matched with the punching. Rlly gives comic book animation vibes which I LOVE.

Can’t not come back and watch this once every, at max, two weeks. And by ‘once’ I mean replay it for an hour or two as I daydream other exotic parkour-style sequences. In short, this is sick.

I love that 90% of the fandom has an unspoken agreement that Narrator's theme color is yellow

SAD-ist on their way to carry every fandom known to man

Sadist’s animations are always so cool and awesome, and she works so hard to get the quality and effects to be perfect. Honestly im a little disappointed in UKposts and its viewers for only giving Sadist 2M subs. She and her crew deserve more

Now that I've played The Stanely Parable your work is 10x MORE IMPRESSIVE JESUS CHRIST. Going from THAT.....to designing BOTH characters..... to the creativity of having Stanely actually try to escape..... to the storyboarding of the fight scenes and just making the story in general....... and then, of course, your animation is phenomenal. On the first (like 20) watches I appreciated your animation, but now I'm starting to realize just how much of a creative process this whole thing was, every little part of it, it's actually insane. Like, the amount of time you must have put in to this. It's so much more incredible and intricate than I ever thought. Like, you didn't just find a game you liked and animated it, you did so much more than that. Thank you.

The hallway disassembly scene at 0:50 was a stroke of symbolic genius. Like the whole room itself is just a switch that the antagonist has his whole hand over, and he was just waiting for the right time to activate it. Our protagonist runs fast, but the operators hand was faster.

1. THIS IS FRIGGIN AMAZING 2. This feels like The Stanley Parable if Narrator woke up and chose violence

Окей, я просто влюбилась в это! Серьёзно, это то чего нельзя было ожидать от фэндома такой игры. Ведь в оригинальной игре Стэнли просто ходит и делает какой-то выбор, а не совершает мега крутые паркуры, по пути разрушая пару камер, чтобы в конце избить Рассказчика. Это просто прекрасно

I watched Blank Decay so much now, but the storyline is so smooth! The iconic pipe is always there. How the Narrortor is hinted at not being human either is there! It's almost as if the watch is a part of him. He never lrts it go, and once he does, you see him glitching. His eyes flash solid yellow for a moment. Also the animation style is fabulous in both! I love how you can clearly see Narrator controlling the environment until he loses the watch. It transfers into the next video so well. I can't wait to see what else you make!!

These action shots are always a treat Also the concept is really frickin cool and very well executed

This was AMAZING!

dang, he just wanted to leave work

THE CAMERAWORK IN THIS!!! Every shot is so beautiful and dynamic without being difficult to follow, I replayed 1:36 like 3-4 times because that tilt is so _perfect_, the way it emphasizes the action is incredible. Also a huge fan of how well synced this is (1:26 and the whole sequence after 1:52 are especially delightful vis-à-vis syncing). All of that isn’t even touching on the fact that the character acting, animation, and colour choices are absolutely stellar as well. Edit: about the acting, that “blink and you’ll miss it” little self-satisfied smile at the end of the 0:43 sequence is SO GOOD! Hell yeah dude, dodge that furniture! TLDR: I went “ohohoHO!!” and/or excitedly tapped my desk 6 or so times watching this. Stunning work 👌

I love the comic-like effect the animation gave off with the “clank” and “bam”

HIM BREAKING THE CAMERAS WHEN TIME REVERSED IS HONESTLY SO COOL BECAUSE HE TOOK IN WHAT HE LEARNS AND APPLIES IT TO THE NEXT TIME HE TRIES AGAIN. GOOD JOB SADIST!! YOU SLAYED ONCE MORE

I absolutely adore the visual of when stanley slips on the pipe and it focuses on the clock as it hits the floor. That, and fhe clock freaking out from the damage. Adore i

I'm so invested in this storyline idk if I'll ever stop looping these

Arcane music paired with Sad-ist’s animation is actually a match made in heaven

Sad-ist animation power will never cease to amaze me flawlessly moving the camera to match the characters movements, the yellow that sticks out among the rest of the setting's cold blues JESUS CHRIST , the clip where everything effortlessly transitions from sketchy lineart to Sadist iconic perfect lineart, how he learns from his first attempt and breaks the cameras, and may I say, the 5 point perspective on the yellow screens? GOOD GOD. Sadist animations are short cuts to euphoria. Change my mind.

I’ve rewatched this so many times! The cinematography is next level! I can’t get over the way the first crack in the clock was animated, making it feel like the camera was tracked on it.

Seeing an animation inspired by tsp and Vector bring joy to my heart. Vector isn't that much talked about and is an AMAZING parkour game for mobile. Thank you SAD-ist

YALL NEED TO TALK ABOUT 1:39. It is the best animated depiction of how someone looks when making a split second decision. The way he glances over his shoulder even while he is still barreling ahead and how the scene splits in two and then leads to a third panel of him cutting between the first two as he shoots off in the other direction. UGHHHHH you can visually see a characters thought process by that body language alone and it is absolutely incredible. Props to you SAD-ist this animation will never leave the recesses of my mind

The fact that the animatic part toward the end actually feels natural because of the watch glitching is amazing

I love the Stanley parable so much that no one understands my love for this game, THIS ANIMATION HAS BEEN MY EVERYTHING FOR SO LONG

That was... LITERALLY THE BEST ANIMATION I HAVE EVER SEEN!!

The Stanley parable doesn’t get as much love as it deserves. Your animations really inspire me, can’t wait to see it!

of course this is original, we all know stanley can’t jump but in all seriousness this is INCREDIBLE!!! i love the concept and the music and the YELLOW??!? chefs kiss

I think we can agree this is Stanley parable on steroids.

stanley finally uses his jumps:

This is insane!!! The action scenes are incredibly well choreographed! Amazing work as always Sad! :D

i love how you tell a story in such a short video, mainly at around 1:03 where after the guy gets stabbed, he sees and remembers multiple things to help him during the loop, like the cameras facing him directing the tube things and the exit behind him. he uses the knowledge he gained to destroy the cameras, and take a sudden turn backwards to catch the "mastermind" off guard. amazing work!

I have no idea what Stanley Parable or Portal and Vector are, but my take on this is the surrealistic interpretation of escaping corporatism. I love it.

I like how the first thing i thought of was that this is a combination between the Stanley parable and Vector. Love the animation and music too❤❤❤❤

Literally choked on my yellow mac n cheese while watching this cause it’s unbelievable how skilled SAD-ist is at animating action scenes. She’s just… phenomenal. Every single one of her animations is absolutely incredible. The use of music in this to build up the tension is perfect as well!

This is probably one of the best animations I've seen in recent years. Everything from the dynamic shots to the character design is incredible. There's only one time reset here, but you can feel the dozens behind it. That's hard to pull of, incredible work!

OMG THAT BAM REMINDED ME OF THE SPIDERVERSE COMIC STYLE SOOOO MUCH ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I have absolutely no words for this i have watched this over a million times I’m completely utterly fucking obsessed with this but my favorite one is blank decay

Good heavens! This is like an action version of the Stanley Parable. It’s so good! I really love how you can tell how each character ticks. They’re method of thought is very in depth. I really appreciate how the office lad (Stanley?) starts knocking out cameras one at a time, making the attacker blind. And so, he reverses his methods. Builds up walls in front of his path. Goes from an offensive tactic into a defensive one. Makes such logical sense! God, this is so dang good.

the movement, the fluidity, the fact that the Narrator always keeps his hand on the watch even though it’s attached to him, all of it! absolutely scrumptious! you’ve outdone yourself! i don’t even have the proper words because it’s that amazing!

As soon as i saw this i immediately thought about vector and the stanley parable. Absolutely amazing

Bro "Stanley" became freaking tom cruise

The use of different "panels" flying on the screen with visual sound effects makes this feel like a moving comic, similar to the likes of Spider-man: Into the Spiderverse, and its awesome. Love this sm.

Me, seeing yellow and an office building with a generic office man: “Stanley is that you?” Man in glasses is revealed: “THE NARRATOR WHAT-“ After checking description: “YEAHHHHHH-“ God, I just, cannot get over all the expression and how fluid everything is. The transitions, the way the camera pans around… do people even understand how hard it is to get complicated movement such as this? AND IN FULL COLOR TOO!!

Its like what tsp would be if it were an action/psychological horror game

Every time I watch this, I feel so much hype. This is the most cool/awesome animation I've ever SEEN. I've watched this like a million times already!!!

As someone who absolutely loves the Stanley Parable it's SO COOL seeing an animation based off it! I'm so happy :) Fantastic work!

This is. The embodiment of that one particular aesthetic that I cannot help but lose my mind over. Massive Stanley parable, Portal, and even Severance vibes from this one. FanTASTIC work!

This has to be the most acrobatic office worker I have ever seen

The fact this animation is what is making people find The Stanley Parable game makes me so happy, I love this animation sm and The Stanley Parable

Mm, yeah, I think it's safe to say that Clock Out has more than enough unique material to be divorced from the Stanley Parable setting. Man this is a ride!

the way yellow is in an area that mainly uses hard black and yellow, as opposed to blue's more blue dominant palette, making yellow's scenes look harsher! and how red only shows up when blue is injured, or when the pocket watch is damaged! it's so cool!! and that's just in the color! i actually watched parts of the animation frame by frame and like, the way the scribbley color outlines are consistent throughout the animation is so cool! this animation is so eye candy, i wanna eat it. (edit: changed the names as i think, since this is labelled as original and the second video deviates so much from the inspiration's canon, the characters ought to be acknowledged outside of their inspiration unless SAD-ist decides for sure that it's an au. just gonna use their dominating color as their names for now)

Your art style is MESMERISING! I love it SO much, and the Stanley Parable inspiration is.. honestly awesome. We don't ever get any fan content in this fandom, and this is such an insane concept it's just impossible not to like. Also, the Narrator looks exactly how I pictured him. Which is horrendous honestly, how'd you get up in my head?! But GOD this is SICKKKKK

I have rewatched this so many times and every single time it fails to disappoint me. IM OBSESSED!!!

THIS IS SO SICK IM GOING TO BE REWATCHING THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN like frame by frame seriously the way you animate smears specifically and the entire fight choreography is something that I need to study.

SAD-ist is literally out here being an inspo for new animators just by being cool asf. This animation sparked my motivation to get back into digital art 😭✋

how it feels when you try to escape the matrix

i love how you can tell he's dealt with this constantly for a while, like i wouldnt be surprised if this was his normal clock out routine from the way he moves-

OHHH MY GOD??? STANLEY PARABLE INSPIRED???? I genuinely cannot name the emotions I’m feeling rn. Absolutely buzzing with excitement, Stanley Parable is my hyperfixation right now!!! And a SAD-IST ANIMATION INSPIRED BY IT??? My life is going to be COMPLETE in 23 hours

Sad ist once again you have slayed so hard, I had to slow it to 0.50x speed to replay and admire how dynamic and intense those compositions and movements are!! 🤩💚 also Im loving the blue/yellow complimentary color palette!

I think we could all agree on this. If we were to ever get a movie in your art style and animation, I’d be one of the best movies to watch

Edit's of this got me to check out what Stanley Parable was and well now I have a new obsession

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR ?? The dynamic angles and movements, there's so much energy in every moment and it really syncs up well with the vibe of the song. The story's given and it's so hype. This is REALLY AMAZING

MY GOD THIS IS INCREDIBLE!!! THE ACTION, THE FIGHT SCENE WITH THE ACTION WORD, THE SWITCH TO SKETCH ANIMATION, ITS ALL JUST SO SICK

Even 10 months later this animation is amazing 🤩

animation synchs up so perfectly to the music i feel im getting punched with every beat

This is so wildly unique from the Stanley Parable. The similarity is just that theres someone working in an office, and the boss is a bad guy. It is so especially original. Also, *thats how writing works*, everything's an inspiration and its great since it means writing isn't a lonely vaccum.

Is it weird that my favorite part of the whole thing is the fluidness of the tie? I have never seen something look so natural in animation before!

I’ve watched your animations for a couple years now and every animation I see just makes me so happy your animations are amazing keep up the good work!! ❤

God no matter how many times I watch this I can never get enough. The animation is unreal, I can't even find the right words to describe how this makes me feel. The movements are so smooth, you've payed attention to every single little detail. The characters are alive, I can feel the tension and their every deep breath and the vibrations when their bodies hit the floor. Every single panel is so well thought, the storytelling is immaculate. This is literally perfect

I haven’t been able to stop replaying this! This is more than deserved for such hard work.

I will forever be amazed at the quality of these animations

I know this is just an action-packed cool animation, but it gave me major Anomalisa and Orwellian vibes 🤩

This easily could be a movie the plot is so interesting and would be so entertaining to see in an hour and a half long film.

DUUUUDE THE ANIMATION SYNC AND CHOREO ON THIS IS INSANE! SADIST DOES NOT MISS!!

THIS IS ASTOUNDING. Your animations never fail to inspire me

Pov : if Stanley had more free will I 100% see him acting like this (after seeing ‘If stanly could talk’) and has a Gymnastics background

when ever i hear this song im automatically going to think about arcane

Absolutely INCREDIBLE. When I heard Snakes start playing I about had a heart attack. I know nothing about this story but you made everything so crisp, clear, and easy to understand without a character even saying a word. That is incredible. Speaking of Snakes, if you haven't watched Arcane yet, I highly recommend it. The writing is amazing. Snakes is one of many bangers that come from that show!

THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY STELLAR!! The art style, the fluid animation, the plot, the character designs, EVERYTHING in this video is just- WOW! No words, only amazement! ✨️

Please help Im developing an addiction I seriously can not stop watching this

ID KILL TO HAVE YOUR STORYBOARDING PROCESS

YOOO!!! THIS IS SICK! I've always loved the concept of losing, learning, and trying again in animations! It's so satisfying seeing the character finally get to the end after we've seen the losses and risks they take to get to the end. lovely animation!

I love the concept of Stanley trying to scape his office limbo in action style

Omg I love this so much you have no idea. I would watch an entire series made like this. the way you animated Stanley and the Narrator is just perfect!

sadist will never cease to amaze me. this is absolutely insane
