I love this animations, keep them going! The pace, the expressions, the art... just incredible! Just one thing bothered me... the whole point of lashes is that they need to be performed with touch, here we see Szeth commanding lashes at a distance. This fight is amazing because the amount of close quarters contact it involves, not just regular slashing!
Yeah, lashing would be too overpowered if it could be done at range. It’s also why fight scenes with Szeth are so good because he often doesn’t even use his blade, and instead just weaves through groups of enemies while sending people flying off in random directions.
I just wanna say, the uncaniness of the movements the facial expressions the atmosphere reminds me of how scary the Diablo 2 cinematics were.... this is freaking amazing my guy!
imagine a series with the budget and scope of got or that new lotr series, opening with this bit. Audiences not having a clue what they witnessed but thinking it was glorious.
@@CGIMati that means good job overall, everything is consistent, the music, visuals and sfx go very well together. But also I just _know_ you tried to have Szeth have a more menacing walk, with his arms down, but then the cloth sims kept clipping under the arms a nd making your life hell so you used a different animation in the end.
This looks really nice. Only thing that wasn't right was the lashing where he dragged the guard through the air to himself and the shardblade cutting the neck in the final fight. The shardblade doesn't do anything to the skin, it just burns the soul and leaves the eyes burnt (like the first kill) it cuts the clothes and armor like paper. And i guess the stone should not be that hard either to cut out. Felt little bit like Star Wars especially the cutting of the stone and the first lashing. He should need to touch the guard to be able to lash him.
Damn dude, this and the bridge four one are incredible. The only criticism I have is minuscule in comparison to how well done this is. 9.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 out of 10 my man. One thing I love from both videos is how you captured the brutality of it all.
holy cow, this is exactly how I imaged the scene would be when I read the book! thank you so much for the animation! it's absolutely incredible and would appreciate more of this!
I love it. this and the Mistborn animation are some of my favorite to come back to! Although (UM...ACTUALLY) I don't think the honor blade would have decapitated the guards unless they were already dead. Keep up the great work!
This is how i would love to see the Stormlight Archives being done. High quality anime and/or CGI. Live action would probably kill the story, and creativity of good artists. Plus people would get hung up with the actors and stuff. PS, this clip was so friggin cool. As someone else mentioned, this felt right out of the Diable game series, and i am here for it. I could die a happy man if i could see the entire series done this way.
WOW okay oh my god i dont even know what to say, its just... wow im amazed i swear to god its 10th time im watching it on repeat you did such a great job its just beautiful
Overall, it's great, but I have two concerns. First, Sheth can only pull objects or people that he physically touches-nothing remote. Second, Shardblades don't cut living humans; they pass through them
Okay this is really cool because it doesn't quite hit the vibe of the books, but it does hit the vibe of how fantasy books tend to be adapted into movies. It condenses the information from the book really well with only a few images. (The wall cut with the Blade emitting light as if had been melted by a lightsaber looks a little goofy though imo)
Oh my god this is SO well done. The crab at the beggining!!! The Kholin banners on the walls!!! The ambience, the lighting, the textures, the clothing, the action, SUPER COOL, loved it. You did pay attention to a lot of details, however, you missed some things: 1. Lashes do not work like that, someone else already commented that. 2. Shardblades (or honorblade in this case) cut stone much more easily, this feels like it is a lightsaber cutting through metal. 3. The blade appears out of mist, but still the way you did it looked very cool and intimidating so I don't blame you. 4. The blade doesn't cut flesh. 5. Kholinar palace looks too big. I believe it only has like two floors. 6. I wish you made Szeth shine in blue from the stomlight. (and on a side note the "i am full of pain" line felt too edgy) Yes, I know I sound like a douchebag. It feels wrong to even mention these things because just the fact that this animation was made shows great love for the art and for the books, and I do choose focus on the positive, PLEASE KEEP IT GOING I BEG YOU. Seriously, you are doing such a geat job :)
Thanks :D Cutting off heads is done intentionally. I know ot is not according to the book, but the lack of it looked odd in aniamation (like aniamation problem). Similarly with the wall cutting. I had to add physicality to it to make it look better in animation. I think my biggest mistake is the Szeth powers. Szeth must touch the object for this to work - and i made it wrong.
Wonderful work, i can only imagine the work you have to put in this haha! It's pretty damn immersive to watch and goddamn the voices are awesome. My favorite moment is in the 2nd minute, it turns into a masterpiece!
Holy fucking shit man this is amazing! Like just damn. Such a good adaptation of the source material. Pitch this to a studio or something we gotta have a whole series.
Excellent animation. Of all the shardblade summons I've seen you've gotten the closest to what I imagine. Got some lore details wrong though a. Lashing requires touching the target d. When lashed, the target should fall upward not jolt upward. It should start slow then accelerate at 6.86 metres per second, since that is the gravity on Roshar. b. Szeth should be glowing c. Shardblades slice instantly through rock d. Not sure why a darkeyes would be part of the king's personal guard e. I can't remember which, but only lighteyes or darkeyes use spears. It's one of them. f. Slicing a shardblade through someone's neck won't sever the head, it severs the soul and passes through. Great production value though!
Thanks bro. I was thinking the same about some of the things you said, sometimes combat was more like an allomancer than Szeth. Fucking good animation thought, I would kill for Arkane animation cosmere
This is by far the coolest Stormlight adaptation I've seen. Holy cow, I really hope Brandon sees it.
thanks :D
This perfectly shows the terror that the assassin in white brings in the first book
I love this animations, keep them going! The pace, the expressions, the art... just incredible!
Just one thing bothered me... the whole point of lashes is that they need to be performed with touch, here we see Szeth commanding lashes at a distance. This fight is amazing because the amount of close quarters contact it involves, not just regular slashing!
Thanks!
Agree about the touch, but yes bring us more Stormlight animations! Kaladin and Adolin in the dueling arena!
Yeah, lashing would be too overpowered if it could be done at range. It’s also why fight scenes with Szeth are so good because he often doesn’t even use his blade, and instead just weaves through groups of enemies while sending people flying off in random directions.
Lashes do not need touch.
this is incorrect, not all lashings require contact
Thanks again for inviting me to participate in the project. It was great to make music for this amazing animation. Wonderful work Mateusz and Julia!
Best music ever
Holy shit!!! This is beautiful!!! May the Almighty bless you, my brother
thanks :D
Szeth prancing down that hallway with the shardblade out to the side... storms, man. These shot compositions are fantastic.
Wish it was more accurate, but I will take all the Stormlight animation I can get
I try my best
@@CGIMati That is all we can really ask for :) The animation is stunning. super dramatic
thanks :
@@CGIMatiI don’t see how it’s inaccurate at all…I think it’s spot on, defiantly got the feel down for Szeth
@@TheReadingVagabond I saw at least 3 lashings without physical contact to imbue with Stormlight
I just wanna say, the uncaniness of the movements the facial expressions the atmosphere reminds me of how scary the Diablo 2 cinematics were.... this is freaking amazing my guy!
yeeeeh :D Thanks!
imagine a series with the budget and scope of got or that new lotr series, opening with this bit. Audiences not having a clue what they witnessed but thinking it was glorious.
Everything sounds great, sound design and music are awesome! Big shout out to the whole team! 👏👏👏
Thanks! :D
The sound fx and ambiance are what does it for me
thanks for the crue :D

feels like an old Blizzard CGI cutscene in the best possible way.
Thanks
This could perfectly be the introductory escene for a series, is amazing
thanks :D
Dude, this is absolutely spectacular. I would absolutely watch a full-length film made like this.
If i had a producent i be glad to make it hahaha :D
Dude… insanely good.
You gotta make more
thanks :D
this is so beautiful! szeth's voice 😍
Yeeeees!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Yesss :D
The rendering and stylization of this was stunning! Amazing work!
I really really loved that it was excellent.
Say the words my friend , you have done the deeds.
The quality of the animation and the VFX specifically are really nice, great job!
Thanks!
Świetna robota 😁 wygląda to niesamowicie

Absolutely remarkable.

I know and I apologize for that. These are visual decisions that I made for an aesthetic.
@@CGIMati yeah it's all good👌 good way to introduce people to the books

Thanks. I,m wery hapy you like it!
DUUUUUUUUDE I just finished Way of Kings and this is sooooo good. You are doing amazing work. Loved the Bridge 4 animation so much too.
Absolutely amazing!
I love the fact that stormlight is acting like a wave, such a nice detail!
holy cow, this is exactly how I imaged the scene would be when I read the book! thank you so much for the animation! it's absolutely incredible and would appreciate more of this!
Świetna robota. Jestem fanem Archiwum i bardzo przyjemnie się to ogląda !
I love it. this and the Mistborn animation are some of my favorite to come back to! Although (UM...ACTUALLY) I don't think the honor blade would have decapitated the guards unless they were already dead. Keep up the great work!
"I am full of pain"
The only person I know who can say this without sounding edgy.

WOW
okay
oh my god
i dont even know what to say, its just... wow
im amazed
i swear to god its 10th time im watching it on repeat you did such a great job its just beautiful
🥰
It was beautiful...I love Szeth.
This is amazing dude! keep up the good work :D
Agreed!!! 👏👏👏
This came out so great!!! Congrats man! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 - looking forward to the next one 😎
You too! :D
You make amazing Szeth voice
Overall, it's great, but I have two concerns. First, Sheth can only pull objects or people that he physically touches-nothing remote. Second, Shardblades don't cut living humans; they pass through them
Wow ale zajebiste. Zwlaszcza scena jak Szeth wchodzi i wdycha światło i ta ostania!!
Hah, dzięki 😄 Z ostatniej sceny jestem mega zadowolony - oraz z muzyki jaką mi zrobił do tego Aleksander.
Bro, I got no words for this. Its just like the word I've read and fall in love came real. You re not just an artist your a true Ligth Weaver
Wow. Imagine this as a series.
INCREDIBLE
thanks!
exactly how i imagine it when i read them. amazing work
These are so amazing. You are super talented and I hope brandon sees these.
Esperando con ansias la parte 2. Gran trabajo!!
Thanks 🥰
Shard blades don’t act like lightsabers, still really well done
I love saying his full name in this part aloud, "Szeth-son-son-Vallano, Truthless of Shinovar."
Okay this is really cool because it doesn't quite hit the vibe of the books, but it does hit the vibe of how fantasy books tend to be adapted into movies.

This is absolutely amazing. I want more!!!!! Good jobbb
Trabalho incrível ! Espero que poste mais ! Um abraço do Brasil !

Coś Ci powiem kolego - to wygląda dokładnie tak jak w książce :) szkoda, że nie ma dalszego ciągu walki z królem, tam to sie działo dopiero :)
jest plan by była :D
bardzo dobre. czekam na part 2
Będzie, ale pewnie prace nad nim zacznę w następnym roku.
Omg!! MORE!
