  • Spoilers for Critical Role season 2 episode 43 "In Hot Water"!!!
    It's been a while but I finally finished this animatic!!
    One reason I haven't uploaded in a while is because I've been working on various projects like storyboarding for the Netflix show Saturday Morning All Star Hits! Hope you'll check it out!

    Caleb gets knocked out, wakes up, casts fireball and blows up the enemy ship, and immediately goes back down from the flashback. Glass cannon indeed

      The quintessential wizard. Wields the power of battle ending artillery but crumbles like wet paper when bonked on the head a little too hard.

    This fight was ICONIC, and you captured the action so well! From Caleb casting Wall of Fire to Fjord summoning the balgura, I got nostalgic chills!

      I know that if the Monkey Paw is listening, lol. This scene setup really shows the action. You should be highlighted if/when they use it for ideas. Great work.

    The flaming boots for Caleb's expeditious retreat were a great touch

      That’s the moment that always sticks with me for this animation.
      It’s all great, but I love seeing the creative flairs for each spell cast

    Fucking excellent audio layering. The selected audio was choice, and the decision to layer what was being said was a perfect way of keeping combat moving quickly and showing how things were happening simultaneously. This must have been a massive undertaking. Cool shit.

    I can only imagine how much time and effort it took to make this 😱

      The last scene was partially animated 2 years ago (last vid).
      So my guess is: a ton.

    From the M9's individualized colors to the fire and blood, this was just a beautiful piece of art.

    The little blush on Beau when Jester put her hand on her waist was a cute touch.

  • @awitchqueef
    @awitchqueef 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    I forget how fucking smart the team was during this fight like they handled the scenario so intelligently and it makes me weirdly emotional cause the team dynamic is PHENOMENAL

    3:00 I love how Caleb face plants to the ground! 😂 ouch! 🤕

  • @OHNOKite
    @OHNOKite ปีที่แล้ว +264

    This was excellent. Holy shit.I remember this whole sequence from a whiiiile ago and youve managed to supercut the timelessness of a 6-second turn into the confusion of real time battle confusion flawlessly. BRAVO!!

  • @elit957
    @elit957 ปีที่แล้ว +61

    the audio editing on this is FANTASTIC, it really adds to the effect of "this is all happening simultaneously"

  • @TakeWalker
    @TakeWalker ปีที่แล้ว +212

    fantastic! I love the various ways you visualized the spells, and I also love how you intercut the dialogue! makes the scene much more frenetic :D

  • @ShesAaRebel
    @ShesAaRebel ปีที่แล้ว +154

    This is probably one of my favourite moments in CR, and I love that you were able to condense it into an 8 minute video, and give us visuals. Also going through and cutting up all the audio as well.

  • @al_hews
    @al_hews ปีที่แล้ว +89

    dude this is PHENOMENAL. i love the way you spliced together the descriptions of what they're doing, it rly adds an extra layer to this. and the spells, the movements, everything is so fluid! you've earned my sub!

  • @samfish2550
    @samfish2550 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    This has so many good touches with stuff like seeing Calibs skinned face before he mentioned it and the great animation for nott slipping out of the guards arms. It was way more fluid than I expected as a whole.

  • @matthewries1223
    @matthewries1223 ปีที่แล้ว +44

    This is amazing! Absoloutely love how Evantica's coragrophy was when she got into the sword fight with Nott, since I think the hardest part of selling martial characters in role play is to try and viusalize those kinds of cool swings and stabs! The Balgura summoning scene? Super solid and even the psudoanimation of it landing? Good shit! Also, this is an 8 minute animatic! You should be proud of this since shit man, this was a lot of work and it is great!

  • @oakenshadow6763
    @oakenshadow6763 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    @goddess9545 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The extra combat frames were so good, I liked the variable action when needed! Good sign of knowing what to animate and split your time into. Some wicked art frames with that fireball too and the expressions!

  • @egnato1165
    @egnato1165 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I like to listen to critical role episodes whenever I'm working on stuff I don't need to be fully focused on, but this one episode made me watch the whole way through. This animatic is insane, even better than I imagined the battle to be. It's one of those times in DnD when, somehow, everything works perfectly and everyone has their opportunity to be cool in their own way. I can only wish I once have the opportunity to play a scene half as fun as this one

    I had a feeling something BIG was coming from your channel since you haven't posted in two years before this was dropped. I can see why you waited, and it was 100% worth the wait! Incredible job! The audio mixing from different parts of the fight was expertly done, and the animating was tight, fast, and clean as sin! You did a marvelous job!

  • @skamnatron5000

    @irongiant5951 ปีที่แล้ว

    Holy SCHNITZEL the amount of WORK that went into this. Its amazing to see another instant classic from you. Too many things to list. The quality in each frame, the amount of frames, the length, each character design, the way you portray moves being taken, the fluid cinematography you make from minis on a map and narration, the fucking EDITING to omfg. You crammed 3 hours of combat into a crisp (but still very long) 8 minute fight scene that felt like 30 seconds with how fast it wizzed by, it really captured the heart pumping action. God its so much. Love the way you spliced and blended narration and descriptions into the animation itself, so CRAZY. Your work is incredible, thanks for this treat
