@@Willllowes that how I’d read it. Must have been a really hard scene/performance. The fact that it still makes any sense at all is a pretty big win for Lou, though. I’ve lost it in a game before and I swear it was nowhere near this compelling.
The meta-narrative humor is S O F U N N Y. Like, them asking him if he did something smart or cool when they were fully sitting around the table watching him make the worst in-game decisions possible and know all this information already. "So you killed him?" No... "Didn't Chungle-Down Bim help you?" _noooo_ "Chungle-Down Bim probably saved you!" *NO* "But you grabbed Alistair when you ran away, right?" No, I abandoned him _confidently_
@@grahamready1065 remember how she said that if they were graded on a curve she wouldn’t wanna help out the seven maidens that much as they would kinda mess up the bad kids grade 😂😂
I remembered that moment as Adaine having a magical aura and eyes glowing. But that's purely from this animatic, in the original she just says it normally. It was a great decision from the animator.
@@Xhalph It's actually because his dad is old Benjamin but there's already another dude who is young benjamin who's younger than him so he is old young benjamin
The way he says “well I guess I have brothers and sisters but I didn’t really have time to process that, so-“ god, just kills me. It’s like, a mood but also so chaotic. I can’t tell if he’s laughing or crying, maybe both. Relatable honeslty
It’s actually a great touch as Fabian is hysterical and it’s his amazing laugh that can disguise itself as a cry because of how absurd the last fight was for him.
I love watching Brennan's reaction to this line in the ep- he loves it when players explicitly say stuff like that. (Another good one is how he reaffirms and repeats Murph's poetic "Riz thinks he was a better detective when he was a loser")
Fabian tripping over his feet trying to stop Fig from calling Chungledown Bim at 3:45 is such a beautiful touch. And a perfect set up for the next layer of his breakdown! *chef's kiss*
oh my god thank you for noticing that's really nice! I always try to add little moments like that so that its not JUST a visual representation of the audio.
@@dm-in-training Honestly, there are so many nuanced details that it's hard to pick one to highlight! But the way this moment leads into his shudders and sobs makes it a truly masterful choice.
I love that the characters are all trying to be sympathetic and are very worried because they've never seen Fabian like this, but the players are relentlessly making fun of Lou.
I freaking LOVE Fabian's arc in this SO MUCH! I was expecting it to be that he would return and fight for the right to his father's legacy and to be a True Pirate, but nO!!! Fabian doesn't have to be JUST his father's son, which was the _only thing he really could be_ growing up because his mom was so distant and out-of-it all the time, but embracing his Elven Heritage was exactly what he needed with no fuss no muss because that is JUST AS MUCH a part of him as the pirate stuff. I'm not biracial or mixed heritage, but I can only imagine how impactful, important, and or touching this storyarc was to people who are. Who grew up feeling they were strongly one identity over the other, but learning to embrace themselves as a whole and that it's not just picking sides. Some stuff works and some stuff doesn't and it's because of who _You as a unique person_ are, not because of traits and tributes of others.
Yeah as a person with friends that are biracial and parents of biracial children, understanding your history is important. Because people love to categorize based off of what they see or try to fit them in a box. I remember my ex telling me about a her kids being biracial and having to want to teach them what it means to not only be Hispanic (like her family) but the Jamaican side (her baby daddy). Her family wanted to raise them like Hispanics and not mention any heritage that involved their dad. But my ex knew she wanted her kids to have an understanding of what really they are.
This is amazing because it's such a sad moments and yet everyone in the room can't stop laughing, even Lou, who's trying his *best* to disguise his laughter as if Fabian's crying
@@CNMashin no I think Lou legitimately can’t stop laughing because the name Chungledown Bim is objectively hilarious. Remember, Lou is not actually Fabian.
@@Dawnrunner42 well also, Lou is a nervous laugher. Anytime things get intense his irl coping mechanism is laughter. In a way ,that bleeds heavily into Fabian, but is also Lou coping with the fact that he has to retell it
Riz reflexively pulling his gun in response to Adaines ‘No! Our goal is to get an A!’ and then getting embarrassed about it was so cute, made me laugh, loved Adaines animated delivery of it too, this whole animatic is great
God Lou is such a good actor. His laugh-crying in combination with your animation of Fabian flopping around on the floor is just... just perfect. Couldn't picture it any better myself.
I love when the bad kids are drawn like the rubbery teenager babies they are This is so good 😂 Seeing them all huddled in a room really drives home that if they were in any other location this would 100% be Fabian describing a piratey fever dream after a bad trip
All of them telling him him being Bill Seacasters son is actually his least likeable trait is fucking hilarious, but also served as a great way to help him out of that headspace.
Watching the other players throw some heavy ironic expectations and questions at Fabian, then watching Lou run through entire fiasco, spinning laugh attacks into mental breakdown tears had me laughing so much I teared up. This was the PERFECT exchange to animate. Thank you.
Very well done animatic; everyone is so expressive and detailed! Possible idea for the future: the scene in ACOC where Jet reads “Thad’s” letter in Ep. 1 and gives him her underwear, and then cut to their meeting in Ep. 3 when Thad gives them back.
another fantastic one!! god i love all the expressions. lou is truly so committed to this role he'll lose his shit ON COMMAND. nothing but RESPECT for my boy
I love the direction and little moments. The camera cuts in exactly the right places to the rest of the party. Adaine going full glow-y eyes about their grade (she fuckin would), and Riz jumping down from the thing were fantastic. Also I love your style and how everyone looks. Just... very good and in the style of the opiginal art but with its own flair
oh!! You again!! You're the nicest, thank you so much. It makes me feel so rewarded that you catch those little details. Like, "Ah someone noticed!!" kind of thing. :)
AWW this is so nice! I like how you turned Lou's hysterical laughing into Fabian's hysterical crying, lol. That moment with Adaine at the end GETS me, ugh
Oh my god the tripping as he gets up and Fig actually pulling out a book and phone and Gilear and Fabian curled up real small! Thanks for making and posting this animatic!
I agree. Makes me wonder why no one has made an animatic or clipped when he, Gorgug, and The Ball tackled the smithy pylon. SPOILERS! It was all amazing, but the "scene" where he dances the elven fire elemental to freedom and unlocks a new form of battle proficiency was so beautiful that I would've teared up had I not been in utter awe. Kristen's dancing attempt in Catheriel was highlighted after all. I'm commenting now because I just watched the episodes covering from Leviathan to Fallinel this week.
Hey bud you’re really talented and I think animated content like this is a special kind of difficult so I just wanted to solidly thank you for making it because its absolutely making my life better
an underrated part of this is the way Fabian responds when Adaine says “I don’t like seeing you like this, it scares me” and Fabian is so shell shocked and out of sorts and barely listening that he just responds with the most timid “…. yes?”…. It feels so real.
actually I was thinking about making an animatic for a crown of candy or bloodkeep, so if you have any suggestions from there I'm down! Or, if you have a particular moment you're craving from Fantasy high, I'll definitely consider it!
Love that this and another Fantasy High animation popped up on my recommended, both I have seen before and love them, on the same day that Junior Year is premering.
I don't know what it is, but I love watching characters _break._ and Fabian being this strong, confident character (at least in the first year, haven't watched sy yet) hurts more. This situation is pretty silly, but it still hurts me. And that "AOOWW" was glorious. Your art style amazing, I love this! 💙💜💙
Saw this at work for the first time. Had to choke back laughs so much I had to step outside for a minute. Yesterday was listening to the episode where they’re flying on a rope while I was driving and nearly crashed when fig asked somebody to teleport them.
This breakdown always kills me. Like, I can’t watch it without absolutely cracking up, and “he said he was gonna shit in my MOUTHHH” is something I quote way too often. I remember when I first got to this section I was in tears I was laughing so hard :’)
@@dm-in-training it feels like Lou just avoids any opportunities to express any connection with other pc or npc whenever the GM presents it to any of his characters. He acts the same way in misfits and magic, crown of candy, and the Unsleeping City
What I love about this is how everyone was at the table and present for everything that happened to Fabian, but their characters weren't, so they're fully playing ignorant and feeding Lou what they KNOW didn't happen, because it makes the scene funnier; what sets Dim20 apart from other Live Plays is that these people are professional joke makers. And even a scene like this, which is full of trauma and pathos, is made all the better by the comedy.
Thank you so much for animating this! Literally this is my favorite funny moment of the second season and I was really hoping someone would animate it!
When you can't tell if Lou is laughing or crying...
It just adds to the chaos of the scene, I love it
It was so funny watching this one because they were all losing it
LOU is laughing. FABIAN is sobbing
@@Willllowes that how I’d read it. Must have been a really hard scene/performance. The fact that it still makes any sense at all is a pretty big win for Lou, though. I’ve lost it in a game before and I swear it was nowhere near this compelling.
@@Willllowes that's the truth, honestly, lol
The meta-narrative humor is S O F U N N Y. Like, them asking him if he did something smart or cool when they were fully sitting around the table watching him make the worst in-game decisions possible and know all this information already.
"So you killed him?"
No...
"Didn't Chungle-Down Bim help you?"
_noooo_
"Chungle-Down Bim probably saved you!"
*NO*
"But you grabbed Alistair when you ran away, right?"
No, I abandoned him _confidently_
Yeah it makes it feel sort of like a cartoon scene, it’s great
The way Fabian looks up in the wide cut for “but aLSO _YOU N G,,,”_
The best part? Lou didn't have to make those decisions; he made them because that's what _Fabian_ would've done.
The "confidently" absolutely fucking slays me everytime. Lou really has such amazing delivery
Professional improv groups are prodigies at funny DnD.
I love how Lou laughing so hard simultaneously makes him sound like he's crying and Fig using the power of metagaming to get us to Chungle Down Bim
Spoiler for Junior Year:
Bim is listed by the Seacaster estate as Fabian's Arch nemesis. He's still out there, and he hasn't forgotten.
I keep coming back for Adaine’s “N o o u r g o a l i s t o g e t a n A.”
Adaine is that student in a group project who corrals the slackers into actually doing stuff. xD
@@grahamready1065 remember how she said that if they were graded on a curve she wouldn’t wanna help out the seven maidens that much as they would kinda mess up the bad kids grade 😂😂
I remembered that moment as Adaine having a magical aura and eyes glowing. But that's purely from this animatic, in the original she just says it normally. It was a great decision from the animator.
No our goal is to get an a: Adaire said calmly
Elder god Adaine
I keep dying at the "He SAID HE WAS GONNA SHIT IN MY MOUTH"
The intonation too
MOOUUUUUTH-UH
I think my wife wants to divorce me from the amount of times I’ve quoted and replayed just that shit in my MOUUUTH bit
“and there was old young benjamin… who was old… BUT ALSO YOUNG”
Maybe he was an elf who's like 90 years old. So his human companions think of him as old, but other elves think of him as young.
@@Xhalph It's actually because his dad is old Benjamin but there's already another dude who is young benjamin who's younger than him so he is old young benjamin
reminded me of Ol' baby Gus, the world's oldest baby.
The build to Fabian revealing Chungledown Bim’s new mission, the repeated NOs and the whiny laugh crying, kills me every time
Spoilers but when Cassandra tells him Chungledown Bim was a fellow traveler and it was never explained was the greatest legacy for him
This whole character arc is Lou just flexing all his acting talent and comedic talent to perfectly balance the tone of Fabian's story.
Lou hiding his cry laughing as Fabian panic crying is Art
the way Lou says “nooooo” is so fucking funny to me lmao (also love that riz is just quietly putting a blanket around fabian)
I love that everyone meta-gamed to just torture Fabian here
The way he says “well I guess I have brothers and sisters but I didn’t really have time to process that, so-“ god, just kills me. It’s like, a mood but also so chaotic. I can’t tell if he’s laughing or crying, maybe both. Relatable honeslty
If you watch the episode, Lou was laughing, but he was trying to make it sound like he was flustered instead.
It’s actually a great touch as Fabian is hysterical and it’s his amazing laugh that can disguise itself as a cry because of how absurd the last fight was for him.
"We brought one Gilear- we made _that_ mistake- we did not mean to bring TWO!" Kristen is savage, dayum
I love how Fabian half-sings the "NoOoOoO" like he's a choirboy
Anyone: Mentions Chungle-Down Bim
Fabian: HE WILL S H I T IN MY M O U T H
Kristen's "Huh. HANG UP." is probably my favorite in a long list of Kristen moments.
“ not even mines his my father’s just like everything else I have”
This is a funny scene but this hits different
I love watching Brennan's reaction to this line in the ep- he loves it when players explicitly say stuff like that. (Another good one is how he reaffirms and repeats Murph's poetic "Riz thinks he was a better detective when he was a loser")
Fabian tripping over his feet trying to stop Fig from calling Chungledown Bim at 3:45 is such a beautiful touch. And a perfect set up for the next layer of his breakdown! *chef's kiss*

The part with adaine was INSPIRED!
The part where she’s like “we’re getting an A!”
The frame of “ _but also y o u n g_ “ is my fucking favorite shit
Fabian tripping really just made me do this high pitch shriek in the middle of the already laugh
Riz reflexively pulling his gun in response to Adaines ‘No! Our goal is to get an A!’ and then getting embarrassed about it was so cute, made me laugh, loved Adaines animated delivery of it too, this whole animatic is great
i looooove the awkward way that kristen slaps him it's so teen
God Lou is such a good actor. His laugh-crying in combination with your animation of Fabian flopping around on the floor is just... just perfect. Couldn't picture it any better myself.
I have to know how Brennan came up with such devastatingly funny pirate names.
On a scale of Kristen to Riz, how well do y'all support and comfort your friends?
Depends. I comfort them when they need comforting but in this situation Kristen did the right thing.
Gilear
I think I'm adaine, not as comforting as riz but definitely not as bad as kristen
I think the scale goes
Kristen
Fig
Adaine
Gorgug
Riz
I am Adaine, I am the voice of reason...but I also am like, you hurt my friend, we should hurt you harder, let’s go
fabian just going “nooooo…. nooo… no noooooo” is SO fucking funny to me
yippee my other account (i have watched this video many times on two different accounts and devices)
I love when the bad kids are drawn like the rubbery teenager babies they are
This is so good 😂

I personally think this was the bad kids lowest point, like they rolled so many ones it’s unbelievable
Adaine's prophetic magic spilling over in rage as she says, 'NO, OUR GOAL IS TO GET AN A' was a great choice
*"HE SAID HE WAS GONNA SHIT IN MY MOUTH!"*
"huh, hang up!" is i n c r e d i b l y underrated
Riz giving Fabien a blanket is everything
I love how he doesn’t have his eye patch means he can be scared
You can hear Lou the player breaking as Fabian is sobbing lmao
So sweet how riz covers him with a blanket!
this is so so so good! it still manages to be funny while also seriously showing how far fabian is falling. im excited for whatever you make next!
Thank you!! I'm thinking about doing a shorter animatic next so hopefully it'll be out faster than this one. :)
This is like- and amazing illustration of Gilear. I'm absolutely here for it, it captures his whole personality for me.
Watching the other players throw some heavy ironic expectations and questions at Fabian, then watching Lou run through entire fiasco, spinning laugh attacks into mental breakdown tears had me laughing so much I teared up. This was the PERFECT exchange to animate. Thank you.

I love how Adaine went full Galadriel at 0:32
another fantastic one!! god i love all the expressions. lou is truly so committed to this role he'll lose his shit ON COMMAND. nothing but RESPECT for my boy
I love how Brennan is just silent
I like the way you had Fabian just faceplant at the chungledown bim bit.
Riz putting a blanket over Fabian's shoulders thooo 🥹🥹 so cute

Dang that hits hard
Love how Lou is trying not to laugh when he's saying No, no, no
Kristen is a whole mood.
"We need that HERE!"
This lives in my brain rent-free
RIZ GIVING FABIAN A BLANKET IS SO FUNNY
I can’t tell if it’s laughter or crying 😂
I couldn't either when I made the animatic. :)
The best part is, it's both
It’s both. Fabian is crying, Lou is laughing at the funniest thing since Hilda Hilda!
Oh my god the tripping as he gets up and Fig actually pulling out a book and phone and Gilear and Fabian curled up real small! Thanks for making and posting this animatic!
This is my new favorite thing??? I was not expecting it to be this long I'm so impressed omg. I absolutely love it, amazing work!!!!
dude this is SO GOOD,,, all the movement??? INSPIRED,,, I loved rizs comforting of fabian too,,, 😭😭😭
just noticed riz tucking away his gun after adines "OUR GOAL IS TO GET AN A" that's so FUNNY JDNDNShds
"This is personal. And I don't like seeing you like this, it scares me." MY FABADINE HEART
they really put Fabian through the fuckin ringer this season

this has got to be my absolute favorite fantasy high animatic
i also love how u added the interactions btwn fabian and riz
I just wanted to say, your Gilear and Gorgug look SO MUCH like Brennan and Zac. Really great shit, please keep making content!
This was, weirdly, one of the best moments of this show.
This is a beautiful animation-
Saw this at work for the first time. Had to choke back laughs so much I had to step outside for a minute. Yesterday was listening to the episode where they’re flying on a rope while I was driving and nearly crashed when fig asked somebody to teleport them.
This the turning point, he went from being just ok to being one of the best characters in the series after this.
inCREDIBLE animatic, HUGE ups on this. Real talent fr
The way they all lean into the dramatic irony so hard... love it.

This scene is such gold! And you did a good job!
This is the funniest thing ever you made an already amazing scene even better oh my god
“I guess I have brothers and sisters but I didn’t have time to process that”
Just watched this. Honestly felt bad when Fabian abandoned Alister
Yeah, Brennan gave him so many opportunities as well. Real sad.
