"You don't need me..." Jesus christ, how did you make Ned's story even sadder?

I think Justin comes up with some of the best characters, but I honestly think Ned was such an amazingly written character. Clint is extremely talented

Every once in a while I miss Ned like he was a real person. And in a lot of ways, he was.

I remember genuinely crying when ned died

"Let's go on an adventure"- final words of Ned middle name Chicane. God bless his holy soul

No I mean. Yeah I needed to cry about ned chicane right now. That's cool. Also the movements on your animation are so smooth and cool!

absolutely incredible, absolutely perfect. your work is always so good and this one just, agh, knocks my socks off!! MY NED FEELINGS,,, the animation is so good and you nail the story beats with such clarity and power...and the way it cycles back to the beginning?? that last line??? AAH

YOU PUT IT INTO WORDS THIS IS AMAZING LUCAS

"It doesn't make much sense to the spider when you step on it, but some spiders need to be stepped on"

The colored outlines on white characters make the red so much more striking. Awesome work.

I may be looking WAY too into this, but I find it interesting that this animatic uses much fuzzier lines, with outlines sort of wavering even in still shots. It's a noticable style change compared to the animatics of Balance, and it makes me consider the parallel between D&D and MotW. D&D has much more rigid and defined rules, leading to clear, solid outlines, while MotW is much more relaxed and light on rules, fitting well with the wavering outlines.

OH MY GOD WOW. Wow simply wow, I never get tired of looking at your creations, the shapes you use for characters are phenomenal, not to mention the incredibly well-integrated way you make characters move to the music (example, 1:51 , LIKE WOW those smooth movements to the beats of the lyrics are pure mesmerizing) It’s been so long since I’ve listened to Amnesty, but throughout watching this entire video all of those memories of every scene of Ned’s story came flooding back to me. You captured each moment of his life so beyond perfectly, and the pacing was so beautiful, and the WAY IT STARTED WITH HIM LAYING IN THE GRASS STARING UP AT THE STARS AND ENDED THE EXACT SAME WAY HAD ME IN TEARS. your work is literally so beyond inspiring, again the smoothness and fluidity of the movements you give characters are so impressive, you inspire me so much to improve upon my own creative skills and reach a level reminiscent of this. Thank you so much for making and sharing this literally it was the highlight of my night, your ability to so perfectly tell this story through your art and animation is so incredible. All my love omg thank you

Hard agree. Going to try to take this inspiration to my drawing practice tonight after work .:)

God the opening few notes are the exact same as when Ned dies. Seeing "TAZ Amnesty" and anything referring to a ghost, then hearing those notes, it immediately threw me for a loop. I was expecting an animatic of the scenes of Ned's death set to the music Griffin used. I was NOT expecting a full life recap. Such a good animatic.

i love this so much, ive watched it so many times, but only now did i realize the rock at 2:56 has loss on it.

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT

Ned has earned his place in the sad old man hall of fame

Dad McElroy always makes the best characters in terms of raw emotional feeling

The storytelling in this.../chef's kiss/

While I loved TAZ:B I never really hooked into Amnesty like others did. It was ok for me, but didn't blow me away. This animation blew me away. This felt like I connected to the story for the first time. The transitions are incredible, the rough style goes perfectly with the song, the slow creeping use of solid colours growing from light to dark that ends on the red... then black... fucking gorgeous.

This is kinda spoilers... But that doesn't matter

My brother introduced me to the adventure zone last year, now it’s all I listen to at work alongside MBMBAM. It’s safe to say the McElroy’s got me through the hell scape that was 2020.

I’m addicted to this video, I can’t stop watching it over and over

I always love your animatics I immediately stopped watching infinity train for this

I really thought I was emotionally stable for this... I thought wrong

“Watch some TAZ animatics during my break” I thought. “Definitely won’t end up crying over Ned in the parking lot”

Rest In Peace, Ned. I didn’t know how much I loved you until you were gone. You were the hero we never knew we needed, and you died before you and Aubrey and the others could realize it.

My favorite parts of this are right at the beginning and at the end. I mean, all of the animation is breathtaking but those stars? They are beautiful.

Damn it man I’m crying. Ned Shicane man, Ned Frickin Shicane

This is excellent in every way. Absolutely flawless. Especially the confrontation with Aubry. It always felt to me like Ned almost took a fatherly roll with her as much as a friend or teammate, and the way he slumped after the yelling. Just yes

Ned was my favorite character. I loved him and I miss him 😥

That opening hit like a truck

the songs are so masterfully chosen for your videos. this song and the entire message of the lyrics, “you don’t need ghosts and you don’t need me”, are absolutely flawless for Ned and the way he viewed his place in the world, especially in his final hours. the animations are insanely fluid and enchanting. you’re truly brilliant

I really did need a good cry and didn't even know it. Thank you. As if I can't decide didn't get stuck in my head for long enough 😅😁

Still one of the most underrated videos on this platform, you know it’s good when I’m still thinking about it years later

RETURN OF THE KING

I don't know why this didn't appear in my subscription box when it released, but I'm glad it at least got recommended now!

God, you're just reminding me how Nedmund Chicane is one of the Adventure Zone's best characters by FAR and I just love it. All the love to Aubrey and Duck but he was truly a standout and not just because he died. Thank you for another absolute banger ♡♡♡

Got me crying over an amv like I’m in middle school again. 10/10

I thought your Balance music videos were the pinnacle of KZread animations but you blew yourself out of the water with this one. Crying on my lunch break, spectacular job.

!!! I remember absolutely ADORING your balance videos and now I find that you've made one on my favorite ammesty character? this is stellar!!

You are really, really good at this. Why animators don't have big auditory? Their huge work deserve it.

Shit, man. I’ve watched this about four times over and I’m still not okay. This is gorgeous.

Bravest Coward I ever knew. RIP Ned

I was not prepared for buff Aubrey.

It’s genuinely mind blowing how good of a writer Clint is

HOW DARE the KZread algorithm hide this from me for 2 YEARS!??

i love everything about this animatic but especially: 1. your aubrey design 2. TINY GOATMAN 3. i absolutely never would have thought of this as a ned song but it's fucking perfect 4. no seriously everything. i love everything

2:45 is the cutest frame ever

I wasn't planning on crying today but here we are

OH MY GOSH OW??? MY HEART???? this was phenomenally done! the choice of colours, the transitions between smooth animation and abrupt animatic-type clips, the expressions and symbology??? I'm blown away, dude.

God this is legitimately amazing. I need to go listen to the entirety of TAZ Amnesty again, right now.

2:30 is unbelievably gorgeous my god dude I love it

Man this video is perfect. Perfect song choice, perfect animation. RIP Ned Chicane. The stars are beautiful tonight.

Every time I come back I'm more and more amazed at all the little details you've put into this. This song will forever make me think of Ned because of this video and all the work you put into it

And you CONTINUE to be my favorite TAZ artist. Oh my god. Amazing as always

this is so beautifully animated-- i would like to mention that it sent me into hysterics and caused an emotional breakdown, but oh my god, it's gorgeous

Back again to watch this. It’s still incredible. So many good details. Particularly love the reveal of Ned’s partner’s body. Real horror.

Wasn't expecting to cry this evening, but this was emotionally incredible

The frame slides/perspective shifts on the heavy beats were MWAH

Oh, this? I’m going to cry now.

That’s so much stuff that hurts but in a good way. Amazing work

I have loved both this song and your animations for a while now but I never realized I needed them together, this is perfect.

Just when I was done being sad about dear old Ned

Ned "*f*cking" Chicane the hero we all knew and the robber we loved.

Woah the way you use the meanings of the lyrics, I specifically noticed with "house home" when he gets the keys and "neatly folded" when he's folding the notes!!!! Amazing

I CAME AS SOON AS I HEARD IM SO EXCITED

Simply another amazing animation, brings back the memory of cry at night the first time I listen to the death of Ned. I see the stars, and they are beautiful!!!

oh my god this is gorgeous! there's so much passion put into your style, and how you've changed it subtly for the different campaign. Ned is my favorite gas character and it's amazing to see an animatic not just for amnesty but also about him

This vid made me love this music (Edit):literally never got this many likes.

This made me cry for the first time in a while. Wonderfully made, as always.

Man you gotta love when a video is so engrossing and emotionally gripping that you forget about the dead man in the forest

;-; beautiful work as always, your taz stuff is always amazing, and your style is so unique! now to go cry about ned

I dropped everything I was doing to watch this, I remember hearing that it was in the works a few months ago and I've been really looking forward to it ever since and WOW it did not disappoint. This is making me long to relisten to Amnesty and bringing out all those sad Ned "Middle Name" Chicane feelings again...absolutely beautiful. All of your work feels so polished and professional. I am blown away.

I can't believe this masterpiece released back in 2020, it still feels like yesterday.

Love the Spider-Man reference at 0:39!

The stars really do be beautiful don't they :')

I really love the way you portrayed Aubrey. It captures the character really well. Lovely video 💛

I finally finished episode 28 and let me just say this is beautiful

My favorite artist, my favorite mother mother song, and my favorite amnesty character holy shit-

Oh my God this is so well done! The music the art the backgrounds the perspective and the emotion ahhhhh! I just feel the scenes and emotions replaying in my head the day I heard them while watching this!!!

Welp, it has been a while since I cried over Ned Chicane

WHO SAID YOU COULD DO THIS, YOU BEAUTIFUL MONSTER

Oh man, this was both incredibly beautiful and incredibly emotionally devastating to watch 💕 Thank you for making such wonderful art

As I understand it Bravery in a way, is when someone who is afraid, acts against their fear and takes a risk knowing it might cost them severely. But they do so anyway in spite of their fear because (to them at least) it’s worth it. And if an act of bravery is proportional to the fear it confronts, then maybe one brave act, from a scared enough coward, for something worth the risk, could change everything? Edmund, Kelly, Chicane Status: Brave His friends call him Ned

this is absolutely wonderful but ahahahahaaaaa I'm crying over Ned Chicane again

How can you not cry from this?

Oh god oh my heart this is amazing!! And heartbreaking but also so so precious!! Thank you for this for all the effort you’ve put into this! Ned is my favorite and seeing his life with all of its up and downs with your art is so good!

You know, I first watched this when it first came out a month ago, and it literally moved me to tears. So I figured after a few more viewings, it would wear off, right? Nope. Still happens, every single time. Its truly wonderful how much emotion the boys packed into the campaign, and truly masterful how you managed to distill so much of it into one video. Simply beautiful.

im sobbing about amnesty AGAIN

You captured Ned so well. The rhythm and movements are just beautiful. The song choice had the meaning for Ned he needed. He never needed to lie about himself. You are truly talented

Your animatics are always so next level. I love Ned's story and you brought it to life. And your song choice is stellar

this is the BEST amnesty animatic I’ve ever seen oh my god

AAAAAAAHHHHH, my heart!! God no, it's been just long enough that this hit like a truck.

Oh no how dare you make me want to cry about Ned Chicane again!!

wow. this is absolutely beautiful. You did Ned's story such justice, every piece of this is so stunning- thank you for creating this

You always find so fitting songs!!
