rip ned fucking chicane

Every time I finish episode 28, I come back to this animatic to cry over Ned again

Beacon walked so schlobethany could run

I love the animation of Ned unlocking the inner-inner sanctum.

George Clooney was not involved with Sicario whatsoever. I’m pretty sure Clint means Syriana

NAHHHH I DIDNT NEED TO CRY TODAY

I just wanted to find a way to pry apart my POTP Swoops, how the hell did I end up here?!

Ned is Legit one of my favorite characters. "..No matter how small a wrong may seem, wrong is always wrong.." These are words I've taken very seriously after I first listened to the podcast. And I try to remind myself of that on a regular basis. I think all of us have fallen complicit of doing small wrongs in our lives because they are so easy to ignore. Changing that kind of behavior isn't just good for those around you, it's good for yourself. Last week I jammed a energy drink in my back pocket because I didn't take a cart or anything and my hands were full. I forgot to pay for the drink and even forgot it was in that pocket until I got out to my car. I went back in and paid for it. I didn't have to and God knows the store wouldn't even miss it, but it was the right thing to do.

GOD WHAT A PERFECT ANIMATIC

I decided to listen to all of Amnesty again recently and you really captured everything that made this scene so perfect. Thank you for sharing this, it's beautiful.

This is the best Ned

I don't know how I've missed this animatic. I thought I'd watched all the TAZ animatics, but I just found this. I've genuinely never had one make me SOB OUT LOUD. IDK what it is, but you managed to nail the emotion with the animation, you jerk.

those stars are beautiful

I relistened to this the other day knowing it was coming but not remembering all the details, getting to know Ned throughout Amnesty, the flashbacks and that scene when Aubrey's in the Cryptonomica... it maked "Edmund Kelly Chicaine" so hard to hear, this is another reminder of why this is and will always be my favourite of Clint's characters

5:25 that moment of Aubrey healing Billy is SO good the way you showed that

duck is my favorite npc

Oooo, the scenes when he's writing the letters. That's a very cool idea

i just recently started amnesty and was having a hard time imagining the characters for some reason but out of all the animatics ive seen so far i LOVE the way you made ned and duck look this is how i will imagine them from now on xD

I love duck’s expressions in this

is there an original video?

Thinking about how Clint could've easily used one of his luck points to ensure both Ned and Dani survived, but didn't as to make the more narratively interesting decision.

one of the few points in TAZ that truly makes me cry... its so sad, and yet so beautiful

I forgot how much I loved Beacon; if Amnesty were an animated movie from the 80s-00s, he would've been a Tim Curry voice 100%.

haven't listened to Amnesty in ages and yet this /still/ got me crying again. you did such a good job with this!

You watch this and then a couple episodes later sephiroth stabs a computer

With love… -Edmund Kelly, Chicane

this scene was so funny the first time around, you really did it justice with your animatic!

This scene will never cease to amaze me. Its fucking amazing and your animatic really did it justice

Came through and searched for this because it popped into my head how much I miss Amnesty😔

Dang. Absolutely fantastic animation for an incredibly touching moment. As much as I loved the Tres Horny Boys, Ned might be my favorite character so far between Balance and Amnesty. This moment was so touching and this animation did it incredible justice.

You failed to mention the Flame Bright pendent. Other than that, perfect video.

As someone who just found TAZ and has been working through Balance and then Amnesty: freaking awesome.

THIS SCENE WILL NEVER NOT MAKE ME CRY, AND THIS IS AMAZING

Me who hasn't finished Amnesty: I probably shouldn't be in the comments... Also me: scrolls through comments

relistening to amnesty and realizing this scene had such an impact on my emotions I can vividly remember where I was for it. Edmund Kelly chicane did his best

something about when clint and griffin come together to create a scene they just make something so beautiful and so heart breaking but its perfect. i cried. your artistic ability to create an intense and emotional scene that just adds and compliments the intense and emotional writing of this episode. that episode broke my heart and this animatic broke it again,, i love your creative abilities,. you scare me <3

We will never know if Justin had that voice planned out, or created it on the spot when Ned asked "does it talk in a funny voice..?"

Weirdly, I love this version of Ned and it feels pretty accurate to the character but instead my brain decided to give this design to fucking Moshe.

I often make the mistake of getting into the fan content scene of something before I’m finished with it, but even despite that, I had no warning that this was going to happen. I saw the line “you see the stars, and they are beautiful” and understood that it was devastating in context, but I had no clue what that context was. I was wholly unprepared, and this episode hit me like a semi truck right in the feels.

Clint being in this podcast is one of the best decisions they ever made. His time in radio has made it so he has the strongest monologs of the whole series

Oh god, your cut to the crowd. This kicked me in the gut when I first heard it years back but your version straight up has my eyes watering. Well done.

i love that griffin did not expect this at ALL like i love that justin got the one up on him in the best way possible

"Do you see? For twenty years, I have wasted my...RAPIER...wiT." "Ha HA! That's a very ~cutting~ comment, my friend!" "Well, look at you attempting a turn of phrase, that must have been exHAUSTing." This fuckin' sword could give sass lessons to Marie Antoinette.

i just finished listening to this episode in the bus home. i wasnt expecting I wasn't i

oh, my god,

this is why Amnesty will forever be my favorite book of TAZ. the character and the emotions i feel whenever i listen to it is way off the charts. its short and sweet and i love it. i will never not cry during this seen because ned is my favorite pc in any of the stories.

I just passed this part in the podcast and I didn’t quite cry when listening to it that time but just watching this now, i’m fully crying. the way you mixed in the scenes from throughout the story while ned is writing his letters was so beautiful. quite the emotional roller coaster going from “my name is beacon” to this back to back lmao

And in the end, he really did travel to parts unknown.

4:06 Duck's face: "do you see the exact shit I was just talking about. are you listening to this right now."

Real talk I've had your TAZ Amnesty animatics on repeat like a lot these past few weeks and honestly I love everything about them??? Griffin's little DM Navi sprite interacting with the cast, Ned's big glasses when he files through his keys, Duck's likeness -- to name a few. There's so much to love about it and then some
