Yeah but the thing is, if you aren't inundated to SOME of this crazy crud then your useless as security. Though to admit if this was 3.5 or Pathfinder... NOTHING could get me outside with a swarm of bugs. It is their hallway now.
@@Nionivek Shouldn't he himself have taken damage running past the insect plague? I mean, he only summons the insects in a twenty foot sphere around a point, he doesn't get to control them. (Actually, the description of the insect plague spell is kind of lacking in the department of what the insects do once they are summoned. They last 10 minutes with concentration, but do they spread out, or cling to people in a story context? How aggressive are this insects?)
The facial expressions of Taako and Magnus making fun of Merle with the “AHHH ITS SO NORMAL AT THIS POINT WE ARENT EVEN GONNA CHECK IT” and the mummy thing was so fucking funny I was just screaming laughing this is so good
The fact that Griff just lets everyone else pass after Merle makes his decision speaks volumes. Doesn't even need Magnus to say anything, just let's him have it cause this is gonna be good.
But on a serious note I love this! You drew the characters and their movements in just the most perfect way! Also having Griffin ripping a portal through to this world to communicate with them and have them all respond to him was amazing! Just a stellar job all around!
a good paradigm for D&D: if you have the choice of making the right decision or the funny decision, go for funny if that's how you're playing your campaign at least
I appreciate that Clint acts at the beginning of having a thought, instead of thinking it all the way through. And I appreciate that you thought out this scene, and animated it so well. Thank you for sharing!
I've watched this many many times over the past month and I just realized how smoothly you go from their planning session to the heist with Lup's hand, and I just wanna say I love it. You obviously put a ton of thought into how to incorporate the setting shift and the McElroy banter, and it's just so fun to watch!
the reactions to merle's declaration of insect plague! griffin's dm bubble! taako's pirate shirt! magnus' bolo tie!lup's side boob! the nods to griffin when he tells them what they need to do! griffin falling into his dm bubble! the bugs coming out of their mouths! your art style! the purple background! all so very good!
I love Griffin's little reality window, especially how he falls backward out of it at 1:27 Also, I absolutely adore how you can hear Magnus and Merle bickering in the background as taako walks invisible down the hallway 10/10 detail
i love everything about this, from magnus grabbing the book from merle and griffin returning it, to how you did them poking fun at merle, how epic it looks then there's merle with the plague, all of the expressions oh my god i just love it.
Loved this!!! I love your use of the music and I really love the expressions the characters made, especially griffins, it really suited the way they were speaking. this was such a great animation!!!
OH MY GOD THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! I AM IN LEGIT TEARS RIGHT NOW, PAN BLESS YOU! :) The bast part has to be Magnus and Taako's facial expressions when reacting to and making fun of Merle.
I love the absolute misunderstanding in problem solving going in Clints head for this. I think he sees the problem as "How can we get past without them seeing us" not "How can we discretely get past without being detected?" Because YES this does allow you to get past without being seen and fails at every other part of that problem
comin in almost two years late to say that i relate to Merle here bc when my cleric was finally able to use insect plague i was so fuckin psyched i wanted to use it EVERYWHERE
So 5th edition actually gives you inspiration points if you solve a problem creatively it's at the dms discretion and I have to say Merle/Clint probably should have got like 10 inspiration points through out the entire Balance campaign and probably for this big plague. Clint is very creative he is adorable I love his logic
@@AnomGamerGirlPOTATO I don't know who you are, I don't know where you come from; but as a random stranger on the internet, I want you to know that I am proud of you. You are an awesome person sent down from Elysium, and I appreciate you.
That reminds me of that one time my party and I were sneaking past a hostile orc camp to get to a cave entrance, and had to get past one final guard. The whole encampment was still right there, off to the side, but we were already mostly past it. Someone fucked up their stealth roll then and made some noise, and the guard was like "huh?" and started moving in our direction to investigate, and in a moment of panic and absolute dumbess, I made my character throw a flash sphere in order to blind the guard. It only occurred to me a half-second later that this scene was taking place at night and that I had just created a bright flash right next to a huge encampment of enemies. It's been years and the others still won't let me live it down haha xD
I heard this live show recently and remember thinking it funny but this makes it AMAZING. Holy shit, my dude, this animatic is so good! There's so much personality and liveliness through this, right from the beautiful opening plan, those transitions! And your little Griffin is perfect, I love everything about this, the faces kill me. Griffin's initial quiet 'fuck' when Merle first says it is priceless, and you make it from good to awesome
God, I can’t go over this animatic. I’m not even kidding, the characters expression made this 10x better. Like I honestly was wheezing bc of taako and mangus’s perfect expressions
Okay. So, at the end of the school day in middle school, my last two classes were band and chorus, forty five minutes each. The band room leads to the chorus rooms hallway by way of a long corridor, with one wall of glass windows looking outside to the parking lot. One day, I was walking to chorus, glanced outside, and saw this huge cloud of swirly black things. I got closer- They were bees. They were all. Bees. There were so many bees I could not see out to the parking lot. They didn’t let us use the exits to the parking lot that day because we would have gotten stung.
this is so good. I love Lup's finger tracing on the map to transition to her fusing the door shut and griffin's adorable pose with "what do you do?" and OF COURSE Lup dabbing. I am so glad I watched this twice I didn't see that the first time and this is so good :) thanks for posting!
Objectively speaking this is my all time favorite animatic ever. It's just so incredibly top quality in every fucking regard. Thank you so much for making it!
Holy shit this scene was amazing by itself but this animation just enhanced it by 100000%, I fucking love the transition from the planning to the heist and all the expressions and the designs and the very scared Brendan frasier. Bless
grif: "You cast an insect plague."
merle: *nods* "insect plague."
grif: ¿¿¿¿¿¿wwwwwwwheeeeeeEEEEREREREERE?????
Merle: Oooovver the wiiinndooow
DM griffin: WHAT THE FUCK?!
Eli Ark didn’t Griffin have a fuckton of energy in that liveshow? I liked it
Magnus:AaaY! It's another one of those insect plaques!
_I cast punch dad_
I want that on a tshirt
Clinton's obscenely terrible logic in this situation genuinely gives me life
"It's insects! It's a plague! Who would want to walk into that willingly?" X'D
The thing is... he isn’t wrong.
Yeah but the thing is, if you aren't inundated to SOME of this crazy crud then your useless as security.

I love seeing the ways people insert Griffin into the scene
Ricky King Griffin the three-eyes DM
"you cast an insect plague *wheRRRRRRREE??* "
I love Magnus' armless tux and Merle's torsoless tux.
the second of silence after merle announces his plans is beautiful, as are all of the squad's horrified faces.
The fact that Griff just lets everyone else pass after Merle makes his decision speaks volumes. Doesn't even need Magnus to say anything, just let's him have it cause this is gonna be good.
I SAW LUP’S DAB AT 1:43 YOU CAN’T HIDE IT BY HAVING IT BE A SINGLE FRAME
But on a serious note I love this! You drew the characters and their movements in just the most perfect way! Also having Griffin ripping a portal through to this world to communicate with them and have them all respond to him was amazing! Just a stellar job all around!
Oh shit, I didn't see that until you pointed it out. That's fresh as hell
If Lup doesn't dab in an animatic that's what catches my attention at this point
ive watched this so many times and only JUST NOW CAUGHT it
remember, Lup's first action upon becoming a lich was dabbing
Clint's logic is me but also Taako's "i just turn invisible and walk over there" is how my rogue plays lol
A solid rogue move!
I died at magnus and taako doing the mummy mouth in character, this rules
a good paradigm for D&D: if you have the choice of making the right decision or the funny decision, go for funny
if that's how you're playing your campaign at least
That is a wise desicion
i. fucking, LOVE the idea of all of that teasing being fuckin in-character. you’ve made this a million times funnier.
I appreciate that Clint acts at the beginning of having a thought, instead of thinking it all the way through. And I appreciate that you thought out this scene, and animated it so well. Thank you for sharing!
I love that «Oh nooo...» when they went outside. Sounded like Griffin just kinda gave up there. XD
1:13 omg I just noticed Lup facepalming in the background and slowly moving out of the shot behind Takko I'm dying XD
I've watched this many many times over the past month and I just realized how smoothly you go from their planning session to the heist with Lup's hand, and I just wanna say I love it.

Casino guard :* is covered with bugs *
Casino Guard: oh nOoo
Griffin's initial delivery of "What the FuCk?!" SENDS me every time.

thank you ! editing the sound clip took a surprisingly long time so im glad you enjoyed it c: !!
@@fel-fisk2541 What is that music anyway? I know i've heard it before and it is killing me trying to figure it out
@@willbrinton3787 not sure if you still needed this but it's 'doing some crime' from the first ep of the suffering game!
@@quandolli Hey Thanks! Not sure if I needed it still, but I certainly appreciate it.
Griffins genuine reaction of "WHAT THE FUCK." Is hilarious.
OH MY GOD THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! I AM IN LEGIT TEARS RIGHT NOW, PAN BLESS YOU! :)
The bast part has to be Magnus and Taako's facial expressions when reacting to and making fun of Merle.
2:12 The way he says "Oh no" is the funniest line delivery I've ever heard!
It has been so many years, and I still mentally go **security guard voice** "what the fuck.?" Occasionally. God I miss Balance so bad
haha, I love the way Griffin physically interacts with the scene in your animation 😄😄 well done!

LMAAOOO THIS IS SO WONDERFUL
1:11 IS PERFECT
This is pandammed good, the expressions and movement of the characters is delightful! This made me actually laugh again at this scene, Good job!!
Also at 1:43 Lup dabs for a second and that’s some good shit right there
comin in almost two years late to say that i relate to Merle here bc when my cleric was finally able to use insect plague i was so fuckin psyched i wanted to use it EVERYWHERE
the facial expressions made me CACKLE especially while mags and taako were making fun of merle's magic choices. incredible work!!

i have no context for this at all but this is the happiest ive been all week i love ur direction so much

Well, 2:02 is now one of my new desktop wallpapers.
coming back to this one five years later. it still fucking rules holy shit LMAO
God, I can’t go over this animatic. I’m not even kidding, the characters expression made this 10x better. Like I honestly was wheezing bc of taako and mangus’s perfect expressions
Glorious Pan, there is so much to love about this, the character designs, the goofs, Lup's fucking dab in, the expressions. Brilliant job!!!
This happened with bees at my school once
Okay, SOO. You need to actually tell us how that happened. Like, if not, I know I'm going to be kept up at night wondering how that story worked out.
The first thing that came to mind would be this:
ruclips.net/video/JaQl4-ZT0hs/видео.html
(Just start at: 3:01)

Abigail Storey
So you didn't go outside into it, therefore clint's logic is proved! Haha
Blue Bloodstains no one went into it the bees were very angry
Literally every expression in this is on point
Griffin laughing himself out of existence is so godamn funny
This is the first TAZ animatic I ever saw, and I just listened to this liveshow for the first time yesterday. What a freakin journey. :D
this is so good. I love Lup's finger tracing on the map to transition to her fusing the door shut and griffin's adorable pose with "what do you do?" and OF COURSE Lup dabbing. I am so glad I watched this twice I didn't see that the first time and this is so good :) thanks for posting!
your framing, poses, expressions, and timing are perfectly spot on, i would sell my firstborn for a fully animated version of this
i love the addition of 'doing some crime' as bg music, it really adds flavor to the whole thing
Merle was trying to Skyrim it. Put the bucket on their head then rob them blind.
Objectively speaking this is my all time favorite animatic ever. It's just so incredibly top quality in every fucking regard. Thank you so much for making it!
You can see lup ducking out in the back when Taako and Magnus make fun of merle the first time
My DM just sent this to me, saying this is our party...She's not wrong
I loved this live show
Edit: omg this animatic makes it even better
I thought he was going to cast the plague on the casino floor
I love the pause, before the applause.
This is absolute perfection , like this has to be what it look like in canon
HI THE TRANSITION IN THE BEGINNING IS SO BEAUTIFUL GREAT JOB
Griffin is losing his mind so badly, he can't even stay in his fourth wall breaking dm bubble lol
_I'M DYING OML!!! THIS IS THE FUNNIEST ANIMATIC I'VE SEEN YET!!!_ 2:14 had me rolling, aahhhh!!!! Thank you for making this, it is perfect!!!!
OK BUT MERLE WAS RIGHT I WOULDNT GO OUT THERE
i feel like if he had cast insect plague INSIDE the room with the people in it it would have worked a lot better.
Merle was *exceedingly* lucky that Lup thought to jam the door, otherwise bugs wouldn’t be the only thing swarming the room.
this is adorable and also i adore the expressions it's very very good
words cannot describe how perfect this is. i'm laughing so hard this is rad 👌
that transition in the start with lups finger was rad
i loved this show sm i loved having lup pqrt of it
This is the 4th time I've watched this, god I just cannot get over this scene
Yo i gotta say.... i fUCKING LOVE THE PURPLE AND SORTA GREEN TONES. They just FIT so well and i don't know WHY but they just DO
i love taako's outfit!!
Thank you for this gift
It was this video that made me want to hear this podcast. Nice video!
Aw dang this is amazing! You did everyone so well! I really love how Griffin interacts with them and just the entirety of this. Great job!!!!
THE TRANSITIONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS ANIMATIC ARE FUCKING G DUDE IM YELLING THIS IS SO G O O D
I honestly can't breathe. I love these boys so much.
god im so happy someone made an animatic of this :0
Holy shit this scene was amazing by itself but this animation just enhanced it by 100000%, I fucking love the transition from the planning to the heist and all the expressions and the designs and the very scared Brendan frasier. Bless
this is my favorite taz animatic
Literally cannot stop watching this.
this is mcfricking amazing
can we just please talk about the fact that the plot of this entire episode hinges on the fact that they made a FIFTEEN DOLLAR BILL
The expressions in this killed me oml
ahhh this is so good!!! The music is such a nice touch, and I love your designs for all the characters!!
1:27 I'm pretty sure that's actually Justin laughing
Merle’s self satisfied smile as he announces the spell he’s gonna use 👌👌👌
The live shows are the fucking best
oh man that transition in the beginning from lups finger tracing the map in the flashback to her casting the spell was SICK
This is so fluid and wonderful
2:01 is one of the funniest things ever... love you how animate it
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched this
I loved that detail with Magnus's body hair, pretty nice.
god I'm so sad I couldn't go to this show!! I'm just glad I made it to the mbmbam show the night before
*EHHHH ITS ANOTHER ONE OF THEM INSECT PLAGUES!*
I had the opportunity to go to this and now I wish I had.
Ive had the hardest time envisioning this scene tysm
