God I hope they go back to this arc
Tenzin Masselli Travis said they will, he just needs to write it. They all only wrote up to where they stopped in each arc. Also, in the case of Commitment, Clint is looking for a different system to use instead of FATE to go forward. People have suggested MASK, which is part of the Powered By the Apocalypse system, if I remember correctly.
I mean, it left on a cliffhanger with the banshee and whatnot.
God, I'm not ready for Amnesty to end at all, but I'm SO ready for a return to Dust.
hey yall...... travis is dm-ing again after Amnesty and word on the street is that its a follow up to Dust!!
Just Cos its been confirmed from an interview that they did for the release of the Rockport graphic novel that Travis is for sure DM-ing next arc (i read that directly and im sure that if you google it you’ll be able to find the interview in question) and i read on the taz subreddit that he had claimed G as TAZ: Gumshoes and was planning a sequel story to Dust. that one hasnt been confirmed from the McElboys themselves (at least as far as I’ve been able to find) but in case it does end up being true........ you heard it here first.
Is Augustus holding spectral cashews? I love it.
I feel like I missed them somehow?
@@stardustorchard9316 0:22 Look at Augustus’ hands
This is fantastic! I love the inclusion of the ghost cashews as both a reference to the joke, but also a really cool manifestation of how Gus fears that all he built in his life is slipping away through his fingers.
OP THIS SO GOOD MY EYEBALLS BUST A NUT
In space that push your eyeballs backwards
What kind of nut? A cashew perhaps?
You should get that checked
I read that in Griffin's voice
Isn't that crying?
oh wow you PERFECTLY captured the vibe of dust, this is so cool and atmospheric!!
I really like this!! Even the first shot was poignant, I never considered that Jeremiah might have a wedding bad and seeing blood come outta there made me shiver! Good job!
I've watched this four times in a row now. The Dust theme music was my favorite from any of the mini arcs, and now this incredible animation is going to play in my head whenever I hear it.
I'm really glad you liked it that much!
Lor Haine You did an incredible job. You caught all the little details (Augustus's cashews, Gandy's vest), and added beautiful symbolism of your own (the sword of Damocles, the Banshee's owls, etc). And the timing! You hit every beat with an emotional or ominous shift.
Lor Haine I am now a fan. And I'm going to spend every spare moment today looking through the rest of your channel & Twitter. Please keep creating.
Thanks a lot for the nice messages!!! 😄 I hope you like dogs ahah (I use tumblr more often tbh)
Keelia Silvis big mood
Folks (myself included) really seemed to enjoy Dust. I wish Travis had GMed more of that instead of Graduation (without intending to throw negativity)
is it weird that I've only listened to each main arc once but I've listened to dust like...a hundred times..........
Damn that sword of damocles reference!!!
:3c
What's the reference?
@@HamburgerTime209 The Sword of Damocles was an old story about a king that showed a guy named Damocles, who was complementing him, a taste of his life by letting him sit on a throne enjoying the king's riches, but Damocles had a sword hung over his head by a single hair. Thus he couldn't enjoy anything because he was always worried about the sword falling. The character in the animation with a sword symbol over his head is feeling a similar looming dread
i know ive already commented but i watched this again and i just love how much you elevated the song?? i didnt peg it as particularly creepy, maybe a little foreboding, but just watching this makes me feel tense and nervous. its incredible like you captured the tone of the arc really well
I want this projected on my tombstone.
The cashews at 0:21. What an excellent touch.
Right? And the halves of the human and wolf skulls falling from my boy Errol were amazing.
Well played. Although I understand why they didn’t stick with it permanently, I’m very glad it existed.
Potato Patato actually they did say they plan to visit it again sometime. Like same characters and such. They did leave most of their mini arcs open after all.
By far my favorite song out of all the arcs themes. Dust and amnesty... DUST AND AMNESTY. gosh i love them both so much. But in the end it can't wait to hear more from ducks sweet sweet voice
By the gods this is magnificent! I hope someone sends the link to this animation to one of the McElroy's!
Thunder Taps Justin just tweeted about it :D!
THIS IS AMAZING, Dust was my favorite miniarc and this intro is so FLUID and I love the sillouettes. Especially when the Banshee pulls itself from the old woman. Dylan flashing between human and werewolf (loved the wolf skulls) with the sword that is hanging above his neck is just.... Great. The COLORS my god the simple colors really help it retain the almost rustic feel this arc had. Also the trio at the end? Perfect. Sorry to gush I'm just so in love with this.
man we need some more of this arc
This is beyond perfect. You managed to hide the entire story (several _hours'_ worth of story) in plain sight, in roughly 1 minute. 😚👌
I watched this before I had gotten to this arc and was super confused but pumped. Seeing it now that I'm done is awesome. Such great work.
I come back to watch this again at least once a month and it give me chills every time
Watching this again two years later and yep, it's still amazing. Dust was an underrated arc.
I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT have the mcelroys seen it?? i bet they'de be so happy, it's so well done and beautiful!!
There's part of me that wishes they went with Dust instead of Amnesty for their second season but also I can't complain about Amnesty because it's been really good
The color palate is wonderful
Whoa, amazing style and tone and use of symbolism!
This is literally what made me go and buy the Adventure Zone comic, and now I'm 13 episodes into the podcast itself! So thank you for introducing me to those good boys
I love the part with Connors and how the order of what was discovered is the same as in the animation. He was unassuming, then they found the key to his house, then they learned of the chaos wild magic-the fire, and the murder-the bloody hands, then he revealed the full demonic-ness of himself
ive rewatched this so many times over the past month it’s not even funny because WOW this animation is PERFECT and this opening theme is a BOP. you’re so incredibly talented!!
Wishing we could see more of Dust again and I had to come back and rewatch this. It's still super cool!! I tried to pull out one thing to compliment, but, really, I love everything, especially the cool transitions!
Dust had the best music for sure. Chills every time a track came on, but especially this one.
I can't get over how memorizing this opening is.
i loooove when i forget his name??? is crying and it flickers between him as a human and him with a wolf skull with the sword hanging above his head. its so powerful and builds the tension... im actually scared when i see it like the dword might fall. but like an enjoyable kind of scared like u get from good fiction
I’m a DM, and while I’ve been meaning to both start listening to the new arc and start writing a new story for my players, I haven’t done either. This inspired me to do both. I’m in love with this
This was so pretty it made me listen to dust and holy shit does it all make sense in context
i think the best experience i've ever had singlehandedly was coming back to this video throughout the series as i understood each reference more and more.
i took a break from TAZ after Balance and stumbled upon this vid about a week ago. It got me really curious. Since then I've listened to both Commitment and Amnesty, and I'm now just beginning Dust. This opening delivered me to the McElroys again, and I thank you for that! Can't wait to see where this mini-arc takes me!
OH MANNNNNN I JUST FINISHED THE CAMPAIGN AND CAME BACK TO REWATCH THIS AND NOW EVERYTHING MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE I MEAN IT LOOKED COOL BEFORE BUT NOW IT LOOKS COOL AND MAKES PERFECT SENSE I WANNA YELL IT'S ALL SO SUBTLE WELL DONE THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY EXCELLENT JOB!!!!!
watching this again and again makes me cry, the art is so beautiful it catches the exact essence of the music
Bruh this is so rad!!! Your style is really smooth and satisfying, and your designs for all the characters and stuff are really nice! The bit with Dylan Mathis legit gave me chills
Dust was the only one that I skipped and now I want to come back to it because of this animation!
I always thought that this and commitment were so good. I have no idea why they never went back to those characters to tell the rest of the story. It was funny and all the characters had potential. Clint was a great DM and Travis is DMing the current season. I will always be baffled that they never fully realized Dust and Commitment
HOly damn. I think I may show this in a class if I ever teach Motion Graphics II.
This got me to give dust another chance, and seconds after finishing it I came to the conclusion that this is an amazing animatic if I’ve ever seen one. It gives away nothing of the story but still gets you really interested!
This is fucking incredible???.What??? The style is so beautiful and the visuals so compelling???
this animation is wonderful! i haven't listened to dust yet, but this made me curious
This honestly is on the level of the stuff theyve done for amnesty
not only is this beautifully animated, it's extremely satisfying to watch!! i kept going back and watching specific moments several times - like the skull changing in time with the music, and the owls turning
This is so beautifully made!! The ideas and transitions are amazing and so creative I love it
Man, this just brings me back! I loved dust, Travis was such a good dm! Would not hate it if we got a dust arc next... the characters were amazing, hearing Griffin actually play a non npc was 100% worth it
Tbh I'd be SO HAPPY if they did Dust full time next, I love it so fucking much. It's so good??
the banshee panels are absolutely perfect!!
This is incredible, I hope the boys see this.
It’s stuff like this, the creative energy and inspiration that makes me so glad I’ve decided to learn how to animate. Beautifully done, love the colors and contrasts of reds blacks and tan with white detailing, like an old time bounty poster! Thank you so much for sharing this is wonderful!
I watched this when it first got posted and I still can't help but revisit it because I just love it so much!!!
Umm this is so good?? The animation is amAZING and you captured the vibe of Dust so well got DAMN
God, I'm in love with it. It fits the song and atmosphere so well, wooooah ;_;
I've never seen something this beautiful in my life
Wow this is so good, if I didn’t know where this was from I would think this was an HBO show intro
THIS SLAPS ON SO MANY LEVELS
I opened this just to remind myself what the theme sounded like and was immediately hit with “oh my god this is sick as hell” (very gorgeous work this would make a great tv intro)
I've made my yearly return to this video and it's still just as good as when I first watched it.
I saw this before I started listening to taz and to come back and see it now, I literally just finished Dust, this is spectacular.
I come back to watch this almost weekly. This just gives me so many chills and it captures everything so fucken greatly I just can't get over it
This animation alone makes me want to give that arc a second chance. Thank you for this.
this is awesome, reminds me of the dragon age keep art style, which is super cool! love the transitions
this is so goddamn good holy shit!
Wow! This is so amazing, I genuinely got chills from it. It fits Dust SO perfectly, and the animation style you use is so dramatic and unique and just works SO WELL with Dust. This is fantaaaaastic. Well done, and thanks for sharing this!
i just found this again and had to rewatch it three times cuz i still love it so much!!!
this is PHENOMENAL. I love the smooth transitions and the color palette!!
Not only it looks fluid, the visuals and metaphors are fantastic! The moment with the sheriff is especially inventive (not to mention looks fucking amazing). Thesa 60 seconds are filled to the brim with so much style and tasteful editing that if I drown in it it'd be a happy death. Thank you.
Back here after the TAZ: Dust continuation announcement, can't wait to hear what kind of soundtrack it gets
Love the rough textures with the super fluid animation
Just as I read "Dust was amazing!", I was thinking to myself "This is freakin' AMAZING!" Awesome job, bud!
I love EVERYTHING about this
This is amazing!!! It looks like it could actually be the intro to a TAZ movie or tv show! Excellent work!!
Don't know The Adventure Zone or why this is in my recommendations but I'm so glad I clicked on this
the style is incredible
I could watch this 100 times in a row and never get tired of it. Just this minute long animation made me incredibly emotional and now I desperatly want to relisten to Dust!
I spend a shocking amount of my time watching Adventure Zone animations, and this is by far the coolest one I've ever seen. It's so gorgeous, I absolutely love it.
uhhh that was so good and so smoooooth and godammit bless you for this
YO THIS IS GORGEOUS????? WOW WOW WOW WOW
this is so incrediby cool and detailed, the bit with the banshee and the owls turning around gave me chills! great job!!!
makes me miss dust so much
To this day I will always hope that dust gets continued in some sort of way
Literally got chills multiple times while watching this because it's truly astonishing! Reminds me of a combination between a storybook and an occult text. So fucking cool!!!
Oh my God this is so good, I just keep coming back and watching it over and over. That hand dropping on the beat in the beginning is fantastic and gave me chills the first time I watched this !
this is GORGEOUS. and i love, love, love the timing with the music -- you've done such a great job.
low-key the best theme of all the campaigns
I was brought to tears I love the style and colors
This animation is so smooth it'd go well in a glass with some ice. No but seriously this is beautiful and fits the show so well just 1000000/10
voting between amnesty and dust was the hardest thing ever. i voted for amnesty but still hope they come back to dust because of how interesting the world space was for storytelling.
This really convinced me to finally listen to the Dust arc. IT'S SO GOOD!
Holy shit this is amazing! It perfectly fits the music and the tone of dust. I can actually picture this as the intro to a tv series or something.
THIS ID AMAZING WOW
I first watched this before I listened to Dust and it was incredible - since then, I HAVE listened to Dust and this is genuine art, you did an AMAZING job
I wasn’t that big of a fan of dust but this is so fricking cool well done
That was OUTSTANDING.
oh this is absolutely BREATHTAKING
I love this sooooo much! I come back and watch it at LEAST once a week
All the little details you captured! Ahhh BEAUTIFUL
Oh my god this was amazing!! Love the whole aesthetic, and so much effort was put into the animations!
