I found a hay brother animatic before I found taz and only now after all is sed and done did I relise what I was seeing. My sole died. Like if u forgot it.
I got super spoiled before I started watching this (I found Let’s get this over with, Bad Guy and I can’t decide, so I never quite trusted Lucretia and I knew what the hunger was)
Really love how the colour palette is consistent with the Evelyn animatic! Also, the director smiling and then bursting into tears when she was talking to the boys felt like being punched very hard in the gut
I really love all the expressions and movements in this! They capture the characters’ emotions SO WELL. Like when Taako hits Barry with that spell and realizes what he’s done afterwards- the way it feels like he’s throwing his wand away from himself speaks so well to the horror he must’ve felt at the moment, after killing a “stranger.” And when he’s pointing the umbra staff at Lucretia and yelling! You really pulled out every bit of the fury and grief with your art. I also love the moment when it shows the split-screen of Taako and Lucretia after he lowers his staff, because through the anger and sadness, you can see the regret and longing on their faces. Because, they’re still family, and they love each other so much, and they must hate this new divide between them. (Like it says in the song about a split that won’t recover.) Lastly, I really like that this animatic focuses on Lucretia and Taako, because I feel like there was a very interesting relationship there. I think that the two of them are much more alike than it seems on the surface- they are both incredibly smart and and they both have this outer layer that people need to get through to really get to know them. And I especially feel like they can both do difficult things and make sacrifices for the ones they love. The one difference is that Taako would give the world to be with the people he loves, and Lucretia would let the people she loves go for the sake of the world. All in all, I love the dynamic you’ve portrayed between them here, and your artwork is such an incredible way to show it. Fantastic job!
so this is like my fifteenth time watching this (i'm in LOVE) and I just now realized this: you show Lup and Taako being terrified and ashamed of their creations, but then you show them turning to each other, and finding solace with each other. like their relationship is enough to combat the horror outside. and then you show LUCRETIA, and how right below them she's taking their lives away without them knowing, and her taking away that COMFORT that they had. and then we see Taako and his anger (beautifully animated, btw) and of COURSE he feels that way, cuz he was FINE, he didn't need her choosing to forget FOR him, he had LUP, and she took it away. anyway, i just think this is the best storytelling i've seen in a TAZ animatic and I give major kudos to you. just FANTASTIC.
See this is interesting because it seems like Lucretia thought she was doing Taako a favor by making him forget about his twin sister because she DID go missing, so maybe to Lucretia she was offering him a sort of sympathy
This is really beautiful. Your drawings flow so well with the song--the part with Taako facing Lucretia and forgetting everyone was particularly heart-wrenching. I also loved how you used the static. Excellent animatic! One of the best I've seen for TAZ.
Dang, that pan down to Lucretia at 1:33 writing down the memories that she would erase while Taako and Lup goofed around directly above her HURT, hoo boy. Great job with this animatic, I love it so much.
hi hello this ruined my life thank u. ur art is so great and the direction is fantastic and my heart keeps wrenching at how "find ur fathers and ur mothers" in the beginning shows u happy davenport and happy Lucretia but then at the end when the lyric comes up again in the minor key it shows them both sad and exhausted EUHDGEUGJURH(
i absolutely love your pacing and art style everything flows so smoothly and the frames have such unique composition. ( I really loved the pan up into the hunger at 0:55 )
i am so late to this but this song makes me weep and i’m so glad someone has already made a beautiful animatic to it so i don’t need to try! this is stunning, i never get tired of these twins and their angst
yhank u so much!! here's my spotify account where i make a bunch of diff playlists for diff junk: open.spotify.com/user/emilycea13?si=QCpY8LfRQmS5oQug34UUDA
Ooooffff this was so sad and hit meeeee especially the scene change of Taako talking to Lup and it shifts to him instead holding the umbrella yikes my heart
Why can some animatics make me laugh so hard I cry, and others make me so emotional I cry, great series full of beautiful idiots who didn’t always know what they were doing, but still always did their best!
I don't even know these characters and this still gives me chills. I'm gonna have to listen to TAZ to appreciate it fully I guess. And what a beautiful song too.
hecko this song is fitting;; as always you've done an amazing job with this and my heart hurts ;v; [[[also,, is there any chance that the shot with barry falling off the starblaster with a hole in his chest was inspired by my taako forgets animatic? bc i just noticed and if it is than i'm so chuffed to have inspired your stuff, even if it was just one shot :'3c !! ]]
thanks so much !! [[ rewatching ur amazing animatic (w/ tears of course again) yeah that part actually does look p similar! it wasnt on the forefront of my mind while i was hatching this out but it was probably there influencing this at the back of my mind somewhere !! so thanks for the subconscious inspo !! ]]]
I used to watch this a lot before actually watching taz and i thought that they were reincarnating and only lucrectia remembered and thats why she would look so sad Edit: also had thought that barry and lup had died in a fight on the ship and were revived and thats why theyre liches
such a great song choice and so evocative! amazing work! the frame in the beginning with all 7 holding their relics, and lucretia with her back to the viewer really hit me
This is really beautiful. As for why we keep doing it to ourselves, its for the same reason that PMD fans keep drawing them losing Grovyle or their seperation from their partner.
That's it, it's split it won't recover Just frame the halves and call them brothers Find your fathers and your mothers If you remember who they are Over and over they call us their friends Can't we find something else to pretend? Like nobody's won and we're safe at the end In the darkness the film machine's spinning So let's leave it on We'll be out in the street before anyone knows that we're gone That's it, it's split, it can't recover Just frame the halves and call them a whole And chip at the bricks and fill up your pockets With the pieces of the wall that you stole The hunt is on, everyone's chasing Everyone's chasing a shot A shot rings out, nobody wants it Nobody wants it to stop That's it, it's split, it won't recover Just frame the halves and call them brothers Find your fathers and your mothers If you remember who they are If you remember, if you remember, if you remember who they are
That’s it I’m split I won’t recover Crayfish made animatic It’s “Call them brothers” Find your fandom And your friends You will remember how good this is. Over and over you will watch this vid No need to find something else to rewatch Everybody won and was safe at the end In the darkness my laptop screen glowing So let’s leave this on :) This came up in my recommended videos and I have never clicked anything so fast in my life. I saw this and was like "hell ya Regina Spektor hell ya Call them Brother's hell ya TAZ, Regina's my queen that song my JAM and that podcast my life---" and then the animatic starting rolling and it was even better than I could have imagined... and like, this song means so much to me, so I imagined a lot. This is so perfect and the drawings and scenes you chose are so poetic and align with the lyrics so well "The hunt is on....a shot rang out" my goooooossssshhhh I had chills at that scene. I loved both Regina and TAZ so much before, love them even more now. Fan art like this is actual magic. And yeah. I cried at this. Frame the whole and call it perfect :)
I keep coming back and I don't know what it is but 1:32 always has me crying. This is so good and the song is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with the world!
this is so beautifully made, where is the story / podcast for this from? i don’t actually know what taz is i just saw this on my reccomended and loved the art
I love how well your drawings flow with the story, which flows with the song. I have to say my thoughts were, this was perfect. usually don't sub on the 1st vid i watch but dam.
Hey I am a huge crit role fan and I saw this animatic and know it is the adventure zone but I was just wondering what the campaign name is if anyone is willing to help?
Not sure if the question is still relevant, as this comment is months old, but this is for the balance campaign, which was the first one in the series!
The story is phenomenal, and the comedy is great. It will make you laugh, cry, and absolutely SHAKE from the amazing storytelling. I highly recommend listening to the podcast
taz animatics during the podcast: funny, 1 minute long, used show audio
taz animatics after the podcast: HEART WRENCHING AAAAAAAAAAA
Like you're not wrong
f*ckin oath.
same
I found a hay brother animatic before I found taz and only now after all is sed and done did I relise what I was seeing. My sole died. Like if u forgot it.
I got super spoiled before I started watching this (I found Let’s get this over with, Bad Guy and I can’t decide, so I never quite trusted Lucretia and I knew what the hunger was)
THIS IS A *DING DONG* PODCAST. FOR ***GOOFS***
Reason why I love it
Made me ugly cry
It was a trap from the very start
>casually makes a story that does have goofs, but has the most destructive gut punches ever
@@skiesquiggles7319 It was a trap that we *all* enjoyed
Finally, somebody who portrays both halves of Lucretia's moral complicity.
"Give back the pieces of the world that you stole" combined with Taako's "YOU FUCKING TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME" scene is absolutely heartshattering
the second you see static in a TAZ Balance animatic you know it's gonna be heartbreaking
Your falling Barry looks like Griffin and it kills me
That's how I imagine Barry most of the time. Just Griffin, but slightly different
no, it kills griffin
Really love how the colour palette is consistent with the Evelyn animatic! Also, the director smiling and then bursting into tears when she was talking to the boys felt like being punched very hard in the gut
The 3 of them with Lucretia and her not being able to show emotion until she's alone... Amazing
I really love all the expressions and movements in this! They capture the characters’ emotions SO WELL.
Like when Taako hits Barry with that spell and realizes what he’s done afterwards- the way it feels like he’s throwing his wand away from himself speaks so well to the horror he must’ve felt at the moment, after killing a “stranger.” And when he’s pointing the umbra staff at Lucretia and yelling!

All in all, I love the dynamic you’ve portrayed between them here, and your artwork is such an incredible way to show it. Fantastic job!
Do you find joy from our pain.
"if you remember who they are" man. After listening to the whole thing that line has so much more significance and it hurts
so this is like my fifteenth time watching this (i'm in LOVE) and I just now realized this: you show Lup and Taako being terrified and ashamed of their creations, but then you show them turning to each other, and finding solace with each other. like their relationship is enough to combat the horror outside. and then you show LUCRETIA, and how right below them she's taking their lives away without them knowing, and her taking away that COMFORT that they had. and then we see Taako and his anger (beautifully animated, btw) and of COURSE he feels that way, cuz he was FINE, he didn't need her choosing to forget FOR him, he had LUP, and she took it away.

See this is interesting because it seems like Lucretia thought she was doing Taako a favor by making him forget about his twin sister because she DID go missing, so maybe to Lucretia she was offering him a sort of sympathy
yeah she didn't take away the comfort of his sister, she took away the missing of his sister. lup was already gone.
This is really beautiful. Your drawings flow so well with the song--the part with Taako facing Lucretia and forgetting everyone was particularly heart-wrenching. I also loved how you used the static. Excellent animatic! One of the best I've seen for TAZ.
thank u so much !!!!
Dang, that pan down to Lucretia at 1:33 writing down the memories that she would erase while Taako and Lup goofed around directly above her HURT, hoo boy. Great job with this animatic, I love it so much.
A masterwork of a detail is the fact that every time someone is visibly holding a relic their face doesn't have any details
oh its time to cry over taz again ok
hi hello this ruined my life thank u. ur art is so great and the direction is fantastic and my heart keeps wrenching at how "find ur fathers and ur mothers" in the beginning shows u happy davenport and happy Lucretia but then at the end when the lyric comes up again in the minor key it shows them both sad and exhausted EUHDGEUGJURH(
You chose such a perfect song! This is so beautiful. The part w Lup and Taako dealing w the Relics they had made really got me.
i absolutely love your pacing and art style everything flows so smoothly and the frames have such unique composition. ( I really loved the pan up into the hunger at 0:55 )
0:22 that felt so powerful! When I saw the voidfish rise up, chills ran through my whole body.
watching this over and over, heartbroken but in love.
STUNNING AND TEAR-INDUCING AS USUAL!! BEAUTIFUL INCREDIBLE BREATHTAKING
This made me cry I love it so much
THIS IS SO WELL THOUGHT OUT OH MY GOD. The way the pictures fit with the lyrics, and how it all flows together is ghhhhh
I’d like to thank this not only for tearing my heart out and stomping on it but also for introducing me to Regina Spektor
i am so late to this but this song makes me weep and i’m so glad someone has already made a beautiful animatic to it so i don’t need to try! this is stunning, i never get tired of these twins and their angst
additionally, I love a good look into lucretia’s morality that shows both sides of her actions and motives
You turned something hilarious into something so sadWHYYYY
You know what fucking hurts about the forgetting scene? The next place they were going to search was wave echo cave
I didn't need to cry today. I loved this. you know its good when it makes you cry
do you have a spotify playlist??? your music taste is so nice
yhank u so much!! here's my spotify account where i make a bunch of diff playlists for diff junk: open.spotify.com/user/emilycea13?si=QCpY8LfRQmS5oQug34UUDA
Never realized what a lucretia song this was. Excellent work
Ooooffff this was so sad and hit meeeee especially the scene change of Taako talking to Lup and it shifts to him instead holding the umbrella yikes my heart
Why can some animatics make me laugh so hard I cry, and others make me so emotional I cry, great series full of beautiful idiots who didn’t always know what they were doing, but still always did their best!
I know of TAZ but I haven´t yet experienced it for myself, but I can still fell the emotional weight behind this.
I love the look into Lucretia’s life. That and Regina makes this a killer animatic for me. Great job!
Lov this too much. This song never fails to make me tear up and it's applied so well
I'm screaming right now! The video finished aND I GET AND AD SAYING 'HOW TO NOT FORGET'
GODDD THIS WORKS SO WELL
BEAUTIFUL art
How you know if you made a good video: have a person whose never seen a single episode of the series and they start to cry from the video
i love how you draw the taaco twins oh my gosh
I love all of this but especially Fisher and Jr floating off at the end seemed to wrap it up so sweetly
CHILLS. Wow, this was gorgeous. And the perfect song choice!!!
I don't even know these characters and this still gives me chills. I'm gonna have to listen to TAZ to appreciate it fully I guess. And what a beautiful song too.
hecko this song is fitting;; as always you've done an amazing job with this and my heart hurts ;v;
[[[also,, is there any chance that the shot with barry falling off the starblaster with a hole in his chest was inspired by my taako forgets animatic? bc i just noticed and if it is than i'm so chuffed to have inspired your stuff, even if it was just one shot :'3c !! ]]
thanks so much !!
[[ rewatching ur amazing animatic (w/ tears of course again) yeah that part actually does look p similar! it wasnt on the forefront of my mind while i was hatching this out but it was probably there influencing this at the back of my mind somewhere !! so thanks for the subconscious inspo !! ]]]
This is so amazing and well done, I love the art style and the emotions AGH it's incredible!!!
I love your design for litch Lup!
The colour fading screen transitions are really amazing,I've never seen it done like that. Keep up the great work!
“find your fathers
and your mothers
if you remember
who they are”
I used to watch this a lot before actually watching taz and i thought that they were reincarnating and only lucrectia remembered and thats why she would look so sad
Edit: also had thought that barry and lup had died in a fight on the ship and were revived and thats why theyre liches
such a great song choice and so evocative! amazing work! the frame in the beginning with all 7 holding their relics, and lucretia with her back to the viewer really hit me
This is really beautiful. As for why we keep doing it to ourselves, its for the same reason that PMD fans keep drawing them losing Grovyle or their seperation from their partner.
I've watched this probably eighty times since I found it a couple days ago, and it never fails to make me tear up. Well done.
This is a fantastic song to use for this! Beautiful art! Well done!
beautifully made! their expressions speak volumes and i was crying by the end
aaaand now I'm crying again...
That's it, it's split it won't recover
Just frame the halves and call them brothers
Find your fathers and your mothers
If you remember who they are
Over and over they call us their friends
Can't we find something else to pretend?
Like nobody's won and we're safe at the end
In the darkness the film machine's spinning
So let's leave it on
We'll be out in the street
before anyone knows that we're gone
That's it, it's split, it can't recover
Just frame the halves and call them a whole
And chip at the bricks and fill up your pockets
With the pieces of the wall that you stole
The hunt is on, everyone's chasing
Everyone's chasing a shot
A shot rings out, nobody wants it
Nobody wants it to stop
That's it, it's split, it won't recover
Just frame the halves and call them brothers
Find your fathers and your mothers
If you remember who they are
If you remember, if you remember,
if you remember who they are
Damn it, I'm crying over a TAZ animatic again, how are you so good, my heart is hurting,,,
You done did it again (I'm crying again)
i love this sm!!!! this song is one of my absolute favorites ever and the combination of it and taz and your amazing art makes it even better
The choice of music + your wonderful art style and expressions = me crying on a Sunday morning greatjob
stop it’s not allowed to be that good
That’s it
I’m split
I won’t recover
Crayfish made animatic
It’s “Call them brothers”
Find your fandom
And your friends
You will remember
how good this is.
Over and over
you will watch this vid
No need to find something else to rewatch
Everybody won and was safe at the end
In the darkness my laptop screen glowing
So let’s leave this on :)
This came up in my recommended videos and I have never clicked anything so fast in my life. I saw this and was like "hell ya Regina Spektor hell ya Call them Brother's hell ya TAZ, Regina's my queen that song my JAM and that podcast my life---" and then the animatic starting rolling and it was even better than I could have imagined... and like, this song means so much to me, so I imagined a lot.

I loved both Regina and TAZ so much before, love them even more now. Fan art like this is actual magic.
And yeah. I cried at this. Frame the whole and call it perfect :)
Welp, this made me cry. This is such a lovely thing you made, and the song fits so perfectly with the story and the pictures you drew. Lovely
I keep coming back and I don't know what it is but 1:32 always has me crying. This is so good and the song is beautiful. Thank you for sharing this with the world!
This gave me goosebumps and I almost cried
Straight **chills** at "Wall that you stole"
From the title alone I was like "you can't do this to me" aaaand now I'm crying
This has evil nostalgia
rewatching this again despite knowing im gonna cry at it like a fool
this is so beautifully made, where is the story / podcast for this from? i don’t actually know what taz is i just saw this on my reccomended and loved the art
oh fuck, this is the most depressing one ever oh no thank you for this beautiful heartbreak
THIS IS TOO PERFECT
God damn! Fucking awesome work that made me weep next to my meme-looking boyfriend.
Also a really cool design on the Starblaster!
Great now I'm crying
This literally made me sob. You drew this all wonderfully, thank you :)

Amazing work on this!

Hey I am a huge crit role fan and I saw this animatic and know it is the adventure zone but I was just wondering what the campaign name is if anyone is willing to help?

Stop making me CRY
Welp you've made me cry again
GOD TBE STYLE IS SO GOOD WHO GAVE GOU THE RIHHT TO MAKW IT SO GOOD
Ah yes, a comedy podcast
I’m not in the TAZ fandom, so I have no clue what’s happening, but it still had me crying
The story is phenomenal, and the comedy is great. It will make you laugh, cry, and absolutely SHAKE from the amazing storytelling. I highly recommend listening to the podcast
The All Mighty Boop! Yeah, since this post I’ve watched balance all the way through, and now I’m impatiently waiting for more Amnesty!
