Critical Role Animatic - Tree Shenanigans

They're (almost) all technically supposed to be wearing their new outfits,,,? I stuck to the old ones for now.
thank you NEOmi-trix for helping me with some perspective frames
There were a LOT more scenes i wanted to do, but i cut them out for the sake of time

[@frostyenderman13]

This entire encounter was just one failure of communication after another. Everyone had a panic plan and nobody told anybody 😂

[@crystalthunderheart8895]

That sums up the campaign I'm in. Everyone has a secret plan and no one wants to talk about it unless you need someone's help to do it, or you both want to use a rare quest item for something else

[@Bluecho4]

That's D&D for you. Same as it ever was.

[@awkwardgoldfish4160]

I love the moment when Fjord and Jester meet mid air, so cute!

[@scribblerstudios9895]

Even as a Caleb & Jester (I don't remember the ship name I've never done ships before shuddup ;n;) fan, I can't deny that was adorable the way it was animated

[@nicholasghoulson9949]

Fjord is Howl from Howls moving castle

[@BryonYoungblood]

@@nicholasghoulson9949 Interesting comparison.

[@CaptainRed1000]

"Are we touching?" Aww, that's really romantic. "Ok, I cast Thunderstep." Ah...

[@sasielb8922]

Fjord you stud

„ How to ruin a romantic moment 101“

[@Ellisepha]

From classical music to Dubstep in 0.5 seconds

[@belindaluna2067]

Travis trolling the shippers.

[@ericalander9884]

Fjord’s “TwO HuNdReD FEET?!” reaction had me wheezing. This is incredible, amazing work!

[@john_smith1907]

When did that happen in the episode?

[@wizsamspider3688]

@@john_smith1907 just after 1:15

[@BryonYoungblood]

And then just how Travis has Fjord go "FUCK YOU GUYS!!!! WAAAAHHHH HELP ME!!!" XD

[@ravenartistofficial]

I like how Fjord just ruined their moment by THUNDER STEPPING-pff

[@connorbingham-davis2091]

Ruin a moment, save a life.

[@CaullyD]

He jumped off to save her they casted without knowing his intentions

[@jesterssketchbook]

that last frame of beau going over the edge and telling nott to "do the thing" is amazeballs! :D

[@AnubisFactsGames]

I get filled with joy whenever I see someone use the outdated word “amazeballs”. It’s so sweet and innocent, I just love it :)

[@BryonYoungblood]

That and just the frame with the panic on her and Fjord's faces after they hear the cry of the roc and Fjord tells the team in the tree to book it out!

[@yargolocus4853]

I adore how you portray jester and fjord. The expressions are spot on!

[@ChangelingWaves]

I love how you included spirit Molly

[@madsdevries2137]

had to look for that... well spotted

[@lemnlyme]

where???!

[@LEGOMANIAC419]

Dammit, Fjord! You had a *picturesque* moment with Jester, and you cut it short!

[@firapolemos3879]

Ok but Caduceus's face from 1:42 to 1:50 is such a mood.

[@KISando]

What were those noises? What were they hiding from again?

[@IrisGlowingBlue]

@@KISando The giant bird, whose nest they'd just stolen from and also punched their hatchling.

[@BryonYoungblood]

@@IrisGlowingBlue And it was PISSED because of that! Plus being a Roc with a 200 foot wingspan, no one can blame the group for hiding!

[@jeefberky9101]

Travis's voice acting for terrified fjord never fails to put me on the floor

[@BryonYoungblood]

It is awesome even when Fjord curses the team for using Polymorph on the Roc and it sending him flying!

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

See, Matt was thinking Mary Poppins. But I went full anime nerd and thought Sheeta and Pazu from Laputa.

[@fionablah8033]

Agreed!

[@KISando]

Yes! So much yes!

[@BryonYoungblood]

Good call 😁

[@TheWild624]

0:46 I see you're a man of culture

[@That1Warlock]

Fjord at 1:28 is literally me yelling at my coworkers almost everyday. But i love every single second of this video and your art style!! Top 3 moments: Fjord’s: FUCK YOU GUYS!!! Thunderstep deep bass Jester’s: “I’m just a leaf”

[@BryonYoungblood]

Other great moments here include Nott screaming "OH GOD!!!" as the Nein hide from the roc as well as Yasha with the ring on her middle finger 😁

[@sp00kyc00kie]

I love the way you add the OOC talk into the IC moments like at 0:23 Also I love the extra stuff like (had to do it to them, and the description of disguise person) And your art style is very pretty :3 *goes back into shy corner*

[@AztecSamurai137]

Fjord x Jester moment , yeeees

[@zuzannaniewiadomska5300]

Caleb casually burning at 1:44 is just beautiful

[@RainbowFox8]

How has no one mentioned Molly!? I love how you included him! And I love this scene!! This is beautiful!!

[@andusz5518]

"As you grab her hand you both go into a low, gradual, kind of Mary Poppins glide... "Are we touching?" "-Yeah- you are grabbing her hand- yeah." "Great! I cast thunderstep and we go *BFSHSHHSHSHS* straight up to the top!"

[@fishstickscribbles3747]

IM CRYING AHAHAHA- the moment with Jester and Fijord was so cute uwuwuwuwuwuuwu

[@landobridgeman]

One of my all time favourite moments from campaign two.

[@shadycactus6146]

i miss yasha :(((

[@mate12cf]

I have some good fucking news for you pal

[@foolslayer9416]

0:13 I love everyone's facial expressions, even Mollymauk is like "I knew it..."

[@carstiba]

"You know he had to do it to 'em" 😂 nice

[@delightfulbanana]

Incredible work, I just wish it included Beauregard saying "SHUT UP" to Eagle Caleb. Still loved it.

[@lilyminer9164]

Molly be like: come on fjord I need another tiefling over here!

[@sowul_0791]

The first fifteen seconds of this reminded me when I was climbing a tree in hell, and my party just kept falling, and I nearly died cause my DM likes to make us suffer, and I was necro-ed on my arm in the last initiative, so I had disadvantage on my rolls. I nearly died because of a bloody tree and acid water.

[@MysticSybil]

I love the ghost of Mollymauk joining in everyone's "WHAT!??!" reaction xD hes watching over his friends and they're all idiots

[@thehomelesswizard3335]

GhostMolly is the best

[@BryonYoungblood]

Surprised Nomi didn't also count Keg or Nila in there too with the rest of the team's reactions, even if they weren't main, MAIN members of the Mighty Nein.

[@WhiiteStag]

Your poses and facial expressions are just so good! Also I can’t believe you had Fjord do the “You know I had to do it to ‘em” pose omg

[@seanmurphy3430]

You left out the best part of the last clip: "To Beau, that means marriage!"

[@batterylevellow5473]

THIS painted style is sooo gorgeous! I love it so much!!! Please upload more videos if you can!

[@michaelbyron3347]

Not to be too extreme but this is quite possibly my favourite animation of the MN I've seen ever

[@imjustwatching1964]

You draw them so *G O O D* its so nice and cute :3

[@NovaGN]

My friends got me into D&D and critical role was one of their inspirations. To my surprise, I genuinely enjoyed it.

[@TheAnonyomusGuy]

Caleb just face-first in the dirt on fire

[@dairycream5]

So happy to finaly see this!🤗

[@benjaminklaassen4722]

*Beau:* Nott (Zhu Li), do the thing!

[@brycevo]

Fjord and Jester are amazing

[@thegamingpuncker513]

200ft wingspan!? that's an airliner right there!

[@Taneth]

LOL the angry roc bat needs more screen time.

[@BryonYoungblood]

Gotta love Travis and the reactions he had for Fjord like “FUCK OUTTA THE TREE NOW!!”, as well as how you captured that so well with your expressions.

[@arcadiandynasty8830]

I've had a character who was a trapeze artist and decided to free all well over 250 km she missed the bar but was saved by a monk from a monetary she suffered from Acrophobia for the rest of her life. To know that jester was caught 10 feet from the ground is crazy. I saw another animatic of this scene from jester's point if view of pure blinding fear. Her vision having to readjust from the adrenaline. It's crazy and I kind of want to make another character who has this experience and has a similar situation.

[@yourlocalgremlin2152]

Can we talk about angel Molly at 0:14???

[@ChaseNoseworthy]

I still think they should have put the Roc Bat in a box and stuck it in the hollow of the tree so when it transformed it would be crushed inside the tree

[@talleywa5772]

Fjord being eternally targeted by polymorphed enemies gives me life

[@brandondennis5166]

I love how your Yasha and Reni look kinda similar, considering they're both aasimars.

[@ebonyvoigt7257]

These animatics make me so happy!! Keep on doing the good shit my friend, for you’re doing it very well!

[@tomaszskowronski1406]

0:19 Somebody saw La-La-Land

[@nightmarepokemon1143]

Fjord X Jester ;p

[@mylesmontgomery942]

You did this so wonderfully, i love the chaotic limb flailing Beau and Fjord do when they jump off the tree lmaoo

[@scribblerstudios9895]

Iiiiiiiiis anyone gonna comment in the fact Caleb is literally *burn!* Face down on the cavefloor? Or it is just me?

[@scribblerstudios9895]

*burning crap. It was late when I made this comment I'm tired

[@uheart2]

Beyond the grave molly -3- is a flipping mood

[@waihstudios8828]

Just casually thundersteps

[@aspinasvalainis]

Did you just Julien that Fjord?! 😂 😂 😂

[@giraffedragon6110]

I can't wait for the opportunity to have either a lizardfolk with dragons breath put on them or a flaming Arokockra monk to cast enlarge on. Just to do Kaiju shit like this.

[@bellar5824]

dhgsdhgigdh oh this is HILARIOUS, absolutely love all of Fjord's facial expressions of Panic

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

"Hey Fjord, what's your armor class?" "17." _p-tink of impotence_ #justtankthings

[@MadamFoogie]

Guys, this is great. Cute animation! But those closed captions-- _Mwah!_ Chef's kiss~

[@tomatelly]

I’m crying SO hard right now, I can’t breathe 😭 I hoped someone would animate this SOOO bad XD

[@yeet9397]

I love your art style so much this is so cool

This was wonderful!

Sorry, but not sorry. Am I the only one who loses their shit when Travis shouts, "FUCK YOU, GUYS!"

[@wack9923]

0:23 "Oh how nice- THINDERSTEP!"

[@uniscornia4290]

This is so good, I wish you had more views.

[@stepharoth]

I finally got to this episode in the campaign and the image of the bat trying to bite into Fjord's armour is SO GOOD, I love it

[@otakugirl5512]

Nott's "OH GOD" at the end has me fucking dying every time

[@JnEricsonx]

I am watching this right now and near pissing myself laughing.

[@violetic1432]

I can’t be only one that keeps crying over Voltron I can’t be the only one suffering still Voltron left a big scar on meh life :c

[@Ellisepha]

The fucking leaf costume always gets me 😂😂

[@TheDeath7ofsb]

this episode was hilarious

[@symphony_in_plaid4592]

oh my gosh I FORGOT they turned it into a bat 🤣🤣🤣

[@sethkeown5965]

God fucking damnit I loved that story and damnit do I love this animatic.

[@plaguepenguin]

I hope you animate fjord and jester from 82 on the dark stairway when they are "alone".

[@stevejackson3815]

Your work is exceptional!

[@DinoTamer-22]

I love that scene with jester and fjord X3 Also the expressions were halarious good job xD
