So friggin cool. The team absolutely killed it! It was a lot of fun working on this.
Hehe you sound good :))
Speaking as a fellow voice actor, you crushed it, man! Can't wait to see more!
I was going to make a joke about Vakama saying 'I can explain everything', but he won't. Then I realised it's entirely in-character for him to use wordplay like that to not actually lie to Tahu whilst still keeping things secret. So this is very well written on top of being very well animated and voiced.
Loved that look and shrug Jaller and Tahu shared near the end there. One moment trying to knock eachothers masks off, the next, brothers in befuddlement at Vakama.
I thought Vakama was pretty badass when he stopped the fight; and I think it makes sense, cause he used to be a Toa himself.
Drew the thumbnail for this! A spectacular production all around, I was mega impressed with the voice acting and score! Well done, all!
And what a thumbnail it is! It's currently my device's homescreen. So thanks for that.
It's so RAW
The thumbnail is amazing.
When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought it was a spacemarine helmet from warhammer 40k
The thumbnail iz so fucking good holy shit
The sound composition, dialogue and voice work are absolutely stunning, far surpassing any we've ever heard even in the official films
Excellent work and effort to all who put their time into this.
cheers
This gave me chills! Brought me right back to experiencing MNOG for the first time. Seeing it animated like a storyboard makes me want a full-length feature film of this.
I love how you were able to keep their robotic look intact instead of just making them look biomechanical.
"The I can explain everything" - Turaga Vakama
"Toa of Stupidity" lmao
I love that we get to see Turaga Vakama use his powers and combat. I feel like the comics/games/movies never showcased his abilities knowing very well the turagas still have some power albeit in a weaker form. This was awesome!! Can't wait to see more.
Vakama: I can explain everything.
And by “explain everything,” he means “concoct an elaborate ruse that won’t be explained for at least another three years.”
Hey I composed for this and wrote it. Was fun. The rest of the shows gonna be real cool.
The music is incredible! You did an amazing job!
@@untapped8776 thank ya
Always imagined Tahu's fire-sword to be like Kylo-Ren's saber
WOW, that VA on Tahu is doing a KILLER Scott McNeil impression! I'm so impressed!
this is awesome! what i liked especially was that Turaga Vakama made use of his powers!
Glad you liked it!
yo i cannot get enough of that background music
i absolutely LOVE how it sounds, it’s perfect for Bionicles setting. hits the Techy and Fantasy vibes at the same time. whenever an ost for this is launched i’m keeping an eye out
I am so incredibly hyped for this series! An animated retelling of Bionicle told by passionate fans is everything I could've dreamed of and I'm so exited to see where you guys go. The animatic and art was wonderful, I really liked the fight sequence. Vakama still being a lowkey badass was so cool! The voice acting was incredibly superb! You guys did an amazing job casting. Plus the dialogue was great. "Apparently he thinks himself the Toa of Stupidity"!
If I were to have one critique, I feel like at times Tahu's characterization feels too brutal. Him fighting the Ta-Koro Guard makes plenty sense, after all they attacked him, of course he would be enraged and fight back. Its a pretty clear extension to what was implied in MNOG and in line with his character. But I feel like him continuing to attack after the Matoran stopped, going as far as to call them pests and seemingly move to kill Jaller goes a bit far. While Tahu always struggled with violent and destructive tendencies, he also always had a heroic spirit, and I'm worried that him immediately moving to kill them will make his more noble moments harder to believe. He always knew his anger was a problem, and I can see him struggling with rage even after they stop, and definitely yelling at them. But just that last bit of him moving to kill feels like it takes his violent tendencies a bit further than they are in the original. Other than that bit though, his characterization is pretty good.
At the very least, if you keep this direction with Tahu it'll be very important to place a lot of emphasis on his development as the series progresses, and show his journey to become more heroic and less impulsively violent. Which honestly with enough care and development, this interpretation of Tahu could be an incredibly powerful character arc! Just got to make sure you really give audiences a reason to "forgive" Tahu for how far he goes at first and show definitively how heroic the Toa of Fire can be.
Again, this looks amazing, and I'm really excited for what you guys put out. Its so awesome to see how creative the fandom has become!
Happy to see you enjoyed the animatic.
On the topic of Tahu's characterization, I wouldn't place too much stock on this being the endgame Tahu character. This is one snippet from early on in the show. Tahu's arc has depth and lots of complexities. I will say this is one of his most aggressive points, but his violent tendencies and brashness both get addressed through his arc. I can't wait for everyone to see the strong, protective, and considerate leader he becomes.
@@BionicleIliad Ok! I’m on board, it sounds like you’ve got a really deep understanding of his character. I’m really looking forward to how you take his arc!
This is amazing, I can see it so clearly as a cartoon adaption for Bionicle first chapters. From the designs, to the script.
I loved how Vakama was handled here.
Amazing animatic.
I love it when the Turaga start using their mask powers.
It’s fun to see when it’s not just the Toa doing it.
This so beautiful! My inner child is screaming with joy along with my heart! You all did a great job with this!
Finally some fresh food
nom nom nom
Considering how many species of Rahi talk in Bionicle, I'm not quite sure why the Matoran were surprised hearing Tahu speak to them while under the assumption that he's a Rahi.
I had my doubts at first but this is some real quality work. Wouldn't feel out of place as official work at all
Boomer saves the day with his powerful Bonk xD
I think it's pretty neat how I discovered this video only a week before the Bionicle Day of 2023.
I like this voice of jaller. Familiar but not annoying
Was disappointed by the difference in art quality from the thumbnail to the actual video, but overall this was really well done! The voice acting in particular was a lot stronger than I thought it would be. But overall this brought new life to that moment in MNOG. Great work!
all the voices were incredible, Tahu's voice reminds me of (young) Kratos, which fits INSANELY well
You've earned a Subscriber. I want to see this come to full fruition.
Jaller: *just trying to figure out what’s going on*
Vakama: “Knock you in yo’ head with my stick!” *bonk*
I honestly can't tell Vakama is voiced by Ben Burrows, and I'm usually so talented at recognizing voices 😅
This was amazing. Watching this feels like the first time I picked up the comic
Now thinking about it, bionicle would make a great doom like game
DUDE THAT WAS ACTUALLY FREAKING AMAZING!! I loved every second of this and I cannot wait to see more
Amazing
That was beautifully amazing. I especially enjoy the stylization of the psuedo redesigns. Looking forward to seeing more!
The dissrespect from Vakama to just send his fireball back!
This is looking great! I can't wait to see what some animations with those amazing models will look like!
This is amazing! It is funny, as well as serious and does integrate lore pretty well!
Hope to see more!
So cool! I can't wait to see more of the project as it evolves, so cool to see some progress on it.
This was fantastic! Well done! The voices, art, and MUSIC wow!
this i some cool storytelling nice work
Thanks! We are happy you enjoyed it.
Excellent animation and superb voice acting. Keep it up this was quality.
This is so amazing, ok I sub.
see you in a month when the algorithm blows this up
simply awesome
if u decide to keep it up that'd amazing
always good to see the fire of bionicle still burning in our hearts...
Nice animation of your Bionicle fanseries, it looks similar to the MNOG and 2015 animations. Then again this is a story board art for a work in progress.
This is gonna be amazing when it's fully 3d
Holy moly it’s finally here
amazing work here guys!!
Holy hell I love this
Looks great guys! Keep up the good work. 😊
Oh, it's you haha
Another great artists
I just simply love it!
Very cool my friend 😊😊😊😸😸😸
Go my friend
Go, go, go 🤩🤩🤩
this is incredible
excellent voice acting
Really good work with staging and also voice acting. Like without any thoughts
great sounds and voices!
Dude this was an amazing job the art work was amazing. Spencer butler did an amazing job as playing Toa Tahu, as well as Benjamin Burrows and Samuel Pitt. I can’t wait for the next story 😁😁😁
I hope y’all make more of these!! This was awesome!!
Stay tuned.
This is awesome
AWESOME JOB!!!
I love vakama's voice.
This is really well done
I...I just....I wanted to...I mean it's...just take my sub
This is going to be fun
I love it
legendary
this looks like it will be really cool
Very cool
This is incredible 🙌
Great voice acting. Animation is pretty cool too.
810nicle day is coming.
Yessss
Interesting, it's like g1 story but with a kinda g2 touch.
In-fucking-credible
MORE!!!!
Oh man I'd give my left widget for a fully realized animation of this, legit a professional show on its own right with the art direction, voice acting and aesthetic. Who did you get for Tahu? Sounds like a pro!
We've very privileged to have Spencer on our team not only as an excellent voice actor but also as a very exacting voice director who's gotten us the best cast we could possibly ask for.
@@BionicleIliadOh man well I can't wait to see what else is in store! (And inshallah you guys do some more casting in the future and I can bag a one liner🙏)
@@augusthasani6588 We do hope to do another casting call in the future, so stay tuned
Alright great video and story and I swear if later down the line y’all do 2003 and DO NOT have my boy jala going TAKUUUUAAAA at all then I’m fuckin DONE
so apparently i can't recieve any notifications because this is "kids content" acording to TH-cam.
This is very cool tho!
It doesn't have the chanting sound but that is really thing I can say against this animatic.
Please show us more :(
Bonk
Not bad. Could use a few more frames but all really good
Tahu wouldnt act like that, was Vakama always there? if so then he should have already known the plan and or Tahu's arrival
and the matoran were just doing their part. also, stupidity? no, that makes no sense. cool work though
Can anyone give me tips to start my journey on bionicle lore? I recently got into it
Our best suggestion would be to start with cross-wired geeks' Biological Chronicle [crosswiredgeeks.com/biologicalchronicle/ ]. It brings together pretty much all of the canon sources into one spot organized by story year. From there you can ask other community members questions/scroll through biosector01.com. We have an active group of lore folk who know a lot of random little things over at our discord. Feel free to stop by and ask questions! discord.gg/trnBJnA
@@BionicleIliad thanks
@@BionicleIliad okay so basically theres this guy naned makuta and then his brother was a spirit and makuta made his brother go in a coma and a bunch of robots who dont know who they are but wants to kill makuta
Plan to make more?
Yes we do! Stay subscribed to find out when the next one drops.
ok but why does the bionicle fanbase always do Tahu so dirty in their headcanons? he's the leader of the Toa... you guys got a problem with that? try again, he's the best Toa... nobody can seem to write him correctly
✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
So, is this a fan-madde web series depicting the 2001 stories?
Yes it is! We won't just adapt the 2001 stories though, but all of '01 - '03 in season 1.
Wow. This seems like an ambitious, ambitious project.@@BionicleIliad
is the animation here the final version? or is thi just a temporary design.
The final show is planned to be animated in 3D, so this animatic is just a stepping stone towards the final product.
@@BionicleIliad ok thx
Seems nobody else has said it, so I will; I love how this version shows becoming a Turaga has NOT deprived Vakama of his strength like _The Mask of Light_ would have you believe 🫡
Having the advantage of hindsight, we've made sure to write the Turaga more like their later written counterparts. They aren't just teachers in this version. Their experience, prowess, and powers all get moments to shine throughout season 1.
@@BionicleIliad so your basically writing the Turaga as they were described in Tales of the Masks the book which served as a sort of inbetweener book and the first forshadowing of Metru Nui
btw your version of Vakama is word for word the Vakama from that book when he fights the Rahi Nui solo
