My first time making an Adventure Zone animatic and my first time making such a beefy one too! This was loads of fun, I want to make a ton more.

I absolutely love Taako's mage hand mashing the forsake button at the start there.
same dude i was like INCR E DI B L E animation on that, i loved it
Headcanon that taako literally never uses his real hand for anything. He has mage hand on quick draw and casts it for literally every mundane task.
@@fredrickreloaded4488 Headcannon ruined, that would sully his cooking to defer to a magical hand. That's all prime Taako action.
@@if7723 they said mundane tasks, cooking is *never* mundane for Taako
I like it when people who make these edit out the boys saying "I do x" and then animate it instead with sound.
I agree
Thats the whole point, right? To trim all the fat while leaving the actual story & dialogue? When an actor performs in a play/movie/TV show, they dont read out the stage directions. But yeah, it is a nice attention to detail. Makes me wish someone would just fully animate the whole kit & kaboodle like this. Thats what I want. Not an animated OR live action adaptation of this story OR a graphic novel retelling of this story, I just want the actual original podcast's audio to be fully animated while also doing what you said, cutting out all the parts where they roll dice & say "I do" etc and just ANIMATE them actually doing that stuff. The whole story from episode 1 to 60-whatever it was. Is that too much to ask?! >sigh< Yes, I know full well that is FAR too much to ask... ;_;
@Clippy all the audio lines would stay. The stage directions would be silent or filled with sound effects
I read this like 5 times wondering what "idox" was until I realized I'm an idiot.
To be fair taako spent most of his time in wonderland almost dead
I mean my man had a whole air conditioner dropped on him.
oh god your taako is PERFECT, he is _i n c r e d i b l e_ oh my god… his expressions and body language are so spot on, HOW!? the first scene with the magic hand and then the last seconds of taako's smile and lil head shake are so good, they straight up _killed me_
I can't even hear 'loop' without thinking griffin retconned some lup connection
Katheryn Wegs I was thinking the same thing.
I'm guessing that Magnus wasn't interested in the dating round because his heart still belongs to Julia and he gets a mannequin anyway
hc: the mannequin he enters is the one from the dating sim
Magnus was a mood as somebody who hates dating. I was sitting there just nodding.
I bet he already had the dead wife thing in mind when they did this scene
@@icantthinkofanything798 Magnus’s backstory (Stolen Century not withstanding) was almost entirely decided before they even started playing. In fact, much of it had to get shaved off because it was TOO grimdark and Griffin was getting bummed out about it lmao
your taako's expressions are SO WONDERFUL this is one of my fav animatics now omg!
I love Taako's little spin when he gets chosen to play.
I just noticed Taako said "pretty good it doesn't seem" because of frickin Monster Factory
I thought he said "pretty bad it seems"
I like that you edited out most of Griffin's descriptions and out of character talk. Makes it more immersive and you make the animation describe itself. Great stuff!
i love taako's gentle little "okay" after being called sweetheart smh love that funky little elf
I love Taako's expressions, he just looks so done with everything.
It's because he _is_ so done with everything
Elf had a washing machine dropped on 'em.
i love that griffin gets increasingly more nervous when they prod him about his math GHGJGJHGHGMMKMKN
I got an air conditioner dropped on me, homie. "Okay YOU know how brutal these challenges are..."
I like how they look to the side when griffin interjects as if it's a tv show and griffin's on the side with a director's cap
Soph i think that’s meant to be the bodyless guy they found
I would have loved the first round of trust or forsake with takko in the background just yelling "press forsake, press forsake, it's probably a speed thing"
The phrase "No, no, I don't give a shit." has become an integral part of my vocabulary, inflections and all.
It's so dope, even after all this time my stomach still drops when it says "YOU CHOSE: FORSAKE THEY CHOSE: TRUST" excellent work btw this is outstanding I think you really captured their essence
*this is easily the best Taako* everyone else is pretty good too
They do a fucking prisoner's dilemma? Oh shit now I have to listen to this thing.
Every time I relisten to TAZ and Griffin says "loop" I lose my mind
hoooooooooooooooly shit. holy shti. holy fuck dude. dude. i love your taako. taako is probably my fave character and he is GREAT but all of them are great. this is so fluid and good and i looove the art style and the movement !!! fuck dude this is SO GOOD
I agree
You used so many "taakos" here I don't even know what to think about ya' anymore (still love ya')
Taako's face trying to press the button is great! Nice work.
I love how Taako slowly drops the goofy act over the course of this arc
I loved his character development after and during this arc.
i LOVE taakos expression when he says 'i dont give a shit,,,,,,,, so good. good good good
*I cast zone of truth*
That part had me dead lol
Charlotte when in doubt, cast Zone of Truth
i expected this to be lower quality since its so long but its super good, one of my favourite animatics ive seen!
oh gosh holy shit I'm in LOVE with this?? like a bunch of other comments have already said, your expressions are so great and the gestures are fucking delightful! my favourite bit is where magnus is trying to convince taako to not choose forsake, where taako turns around and says "well maybe next time you should get chosen as the player!" Just, the way you drew it feels so in character, the sass is So Very Taako
endeye I'M YELLING i thought i had commented this bc i use this icon literally everywhere else
I like how you cut out some of the narration. Really adds to the cinematic feel. Great job! (plus the character models... nailed it)
your taako is so pretty and im so gay
Wouldn't be my first choice, yet, good comment! :D
They also nailed the jesse and James of elves
Wow so good anatomically and very consistent!!!! Such a long animatic too!!! Love your expressions and designs for the boys
I love love love all of your expressions for Taako, this is so good omg
Every time someone says "loop," all I hear is "Lup."
hell yea, got like #69. nice.
when magus said "stay posi!" i wanted taako to say "yes, i'm positive this will fuck them over!"
Taako is genuinely perfect, holy fuck he's exactly as I envisioned him.
He can't fight another fight like the fight he just fought
This is the best adventure zone content I've seen. I like how you replaced some of the lighter narration with animation, that was a fantastic choice
Lydia and Edward look great! you clearly took some inspiration from the Jessie and James vibe, which I love. excellent work!
I am watching the storyboard of the official cartoon. amazing
holy fuuuuuck!!! this is one of the best damn taz animatics i've ever seen! i'm so in love with the body language all 3 use, especially Taako's expressive hands (tHE FINGER GUNS) and Magnus' changes in stance. Another thing that's *perfect* about this is the way you cut out narration and added animation to fill in the gap, it really added a lot to the flow of the scene and was incredibly enjoyable. And one last thing, your Taako is flawless and almost exactly how I see him too.
THIS IS SO GOOD 10/10. i especially love taako's finger guns, and magnus talking with his hands when asking abt the game at the beginning!!
This is one of my favorite TAZ animatics. First off, I commend you for doing such a long bit. Second off, I love how you added extra sound so it felt like a show or something. I also love how expressive the people are.
love this almost lapis lazuli esque taako ngl
“I gotta air conditioner dropped on me homie” 😂
Taako was just so done with everyone's shit at this point.
Taako is more or less always done with everyone's shit lol
More than Magnus? Idk lol.
Magnus is my favorite character, and I just want to tell you that your Magnus is so great! You somehow managed to capture what I see in my mind when I visualize Magnus.
this is my favorite animatic for this scene omggg favorite part: “Oh no- no, i don’t give a shit.”
This was my first proper introduction to TAZ, and after seeing this i went and listened to all the podcast in a week and and am listening to the last episode of Suffering game rn. I guess what im trying to say is great video!
"Loop isn't the right word, either..." Of course not. It's *Lup*.
I LOVE how expressive everyone is. Taako’s crescent moon grins and Magnus’ grimaces and Merle’s general Being is so so good
the way they move is so awesome!! incredible i love it!!
YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB HOLY SHIT, AND I LOVE ALL THE SOUND EFFECTS YOU ADDED
2:23 for Delighted Taako UR WELCOME
Taako’s little :Oc when he gets chosen gives me life
This is the best animatic of the show so far. The expressions are on point and I love the style
Your Taako reminds me of Lapis from Steven Universe a lil bit
Pop Ro great, now I hate Taako.
Thomas L Lapis is great. Fite me.
That's awesome since both are the best
OMG UR RIGHT
"How many Roads must a man walk down before you can call him a man?" 42, They literally made a machine to answer that question. They just didn't know that was their question.
jesus grif saying "loop" gave me a heart attack
You have what might be one of my favorite designs for the Elves I've seen, and the whole rest of the animation is awesome!
I love the background music
wtf your taako is so cute
THIS IS NOW ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAV TAZ ANIMATICS ASDFKLJAS;DKFJ!!! the expressions, the movement, the perspectives, the sound effects!!!! it all seemed so natural and fit their characters v well. THANK YOU
i think this is maybe the video that introduced me to the adventure zone the whole time i guess i was kind of expecting this scene to come and also... the way the characters were drawn here definitely affected how i imagined them when i did listen
GOD THIS IS. SO. GOOD. I LOVE HOW YOU CUT OUT THEM SAYING WHAT THEYRE DOING AND HAVE THEM JUST DO IT LIKE. ITS SUCH A NICE TOUCH AND THE DESIGNS ARE SO GOOD AND THE EXPRESSIONS AND GOD I LOVE THIS AND I LOVE THE MCELROYS AND I LOVE THIS PODCAST I AM A VERY EMOTIONAL PERSON IM SORRY
hey this kind of got me into the adventure zone, like, two years ago so, thank you!
There’s a lot to love about this, but I think the best part is that Merle is wearing Crocs 😂😂😂
Taako's expressions at the end are so on point I love this!
I love Magnus’s expression at the beginning of heart attack. Like there’s a mix of confusion about what’s going on and some disgust over what he’s hoping isn’t going on (because of Julia) and general concern and caution. And right before it there’s just a little bit of anger probably just at this whole scenario. Man it’s good.
"...Why...?" "I point at Takko." It's not in this animatic, but it's still a funny moment.
“How many prizes have you given out?” “30.” “How many people have died?” “More than 30.”
lol Griffin is so great. Working Zero Escape type situations into his RPGs, lol
"I'm almost dead, and it's our podcast!"
2:58 was how I pictured Taako's entire character tbh.
All if the expression and gestures and such are top notch!!!! The characters all have a real weight to them thanks to their realistic movements and consistent anatomy! This is super well done
This is definitely one of my favorite animatics from the series I've seen. I love the way you demonstrate emphatic movements with just a few frames added to a static pose.
this is soooo good!!! their gestures and expressions are rly well done!
Seriously can't get enough of that Magnus. I had to draw him myself a few times
this was one of the animations that introduced me to the adventure zone and it informed my mental picture of the characters for the whole thing, and i think it did a pretty great job for that. also i just love this animation a lot, it fills in the details very very well
this got me to watch the show and literally every time its in my reccomended i will rewatch it. all the little personality to each characters movement makes this an absolute delight to watch!!!!
Wow fantastic work!! This must have taken a lot of time and dedication. It's one of the longest and most consistent animatics I've seen!
This is crazy impressive, probably my favorite animatic I've seen for taz! I love how you edited the audio, I love the narration in the show but it's super cool to see it how it would actually happen, with silences and stuff. amazing job!
Believe it or not, this animatic is what made me go check out TAZ! I was like "ooooo who's that cute elf boy?" and so I went to watch (listen to) an episode. Needless to say, I'm now hooked on not only TAZ, but the McElroys too!
How many roads must a man walk down? 42! it's 42! How'd they miss that?
everything about this is so wonderful and I love it. This is incredible talent right here and I can't thank you enough for sharing
thIS IS SO GOOD THE MAGE HAND ATA THE START
I just really love all of the little expressions and gestures, especially Taako's! This is awesome!!
This animatic was the one that convinced me to listen to the adventure zone and I cant thank you enough!
This is one of the first things TAZ related I saw and one of the reasons I started listening and I just made it to this spot!
this was so good I'm deaaad. Their faces were all so expressive I love it!
My goodness this is wonderful~! I love you're movement and style~
oh man. this looks really good. it looks like you put a lot of time into it and it really paid off. thank you for making this!!
the facial expressions are amazing!!! and ur character designs are spot on 10/10 would look at again
The expressions are brilliant, such an animation this quality and this long must have taken so long, fantastic job!!!
So pumped for this arcs graphic novel release next month
This is awesome!!! I hope you do more! I love the way you draw the boys too, and the elves. Good job!
I've seen just about every animatic on KZhead, and this is one of my absolute favorites
the additional music *really* makes this scene! I love it, it honestly adds the intense atmosphere that this scene really creates. I love it 10/10
This is perfect!!!! This animatic is super fleshed out and well done (plus long!!!) if taz ever became an animated show this is exactly how I'd want it to be!
This is awesome! You captured Taako's style perfectly with the way he moves and his facial expressions!
Mage handing "forsake" very accurate
