[TAZ] The Breakdown [Animatic]

Фильм және анимация

oh god this was rushed ;///;
I was originally going to basically do an animatic for the whole first part before the fight, but I ended up cutting the audio down and just doing this. If I had my way I would have probably done the WHOLE EPISODE BECAUSE GODDAMN (also i'm keeping on brand by doing animatics where Taako suffers :^)c )
Anyway, hope you enjoy this little ditty! Sorry for the inconsistency of a lot of the characters and the boring backgrounds (it's hard to make a glass dome look interesting;;)

    "I have nothing, and I don't give a shit. The world is ending and I. Don't. Care." One of the best Taako quote's I've heard.

    All Taaco wanted was his sister back. That was taken away from him and he had to live through losing her a second time. What more was there for him to lose? At least in that moment, I can understand his point of view.

    ​@@TenshiLove5old comment I know, but I hope you see this, I truly think it's both. I think Merle was scared and confused, remembering who She was, who they all were to each other, Merle was always the peacemaker, so he was probably reeling. And we all know Clint himself is a big ol softie, especially playing with his boys.

    Something nobody ever points out... his voice gets less flaired. I like to think that his voice that we hear 90% of the time is just a voice, and this is serious. He doesn’t care. He has nothing and for the first time we hear, he drops the facade. This is taako’s serious voice.

    You know what especially gets to me about this? Magnus raising his weapon at Lucretia. We're talking about a man who, for all intents and purposes, would die for his friends. The entire reason that he became a big, buff fighter is so that his friends wouldn't get hurt. This man feels every hit his allies takes tenfold because he feels without a shadow of a doubt that it should have been him taking it. And yet, here he is, raising his sword at someone he spent 100 years with. Raising his sword against his family. I think it's because he realizes that he lost his family again. Just like in Raven's Roost, he feels that his entire family was taken from him. But this time, he knows who did it. This time, he knows who to blame. And while he eventually does forgive Lucretia, for this moment, Magnus is furious. The character development of all three of the Tres Horny Boys is fucking fantastic and you did an amazing job representing it here. Amazing job!

    sir, I've experienced the greatest art of all time I'm sure Griffin McElroy has some hold on the concept of drama, but he's hardly a genius at writing, and the drama in his D&D podcast, shockingly, pales in comparison to what I've already experienced I realize I sound like a cunt, but there's no other way to express my opinion; the drama is decent and done well, but it's not some sort of incredibly deep, hard-hitting piece of fiction I'm here for the giggles

I dunno I’ve always loved the idea that you see and hear about this incredible wizard, when you see him he’s super attractive and then he introduces himself as taako from tv in the most weird goose voice you’ve ever heard
