"You don't need me..." Jesus christ, how did you make Ned's story even sadder?

[@georietaylor6517]

No I mean. Yeah I needed to cry about ned chicane right now. That's cool. Also the movements on your animation are so smooth and cool!

[@EmptyFeet]

absolutely incredible, absolutely perfect. your work is always so good and this one just, agh, knocks my socks off!! MY NED FEELINGS,,, the animation is so good and you nail the story beats with such clarity and power...and the way it cycles back to the beginning?? that last line??? AAH

[@mooselybased]

@ToastyGlow aaaaa thank you so much Toasty!!! Your work is actually like a huge inspiration for me, so this means so much coming from you, thank you!!

[@hottletrey13]

Two of my favorite animators in one chat, nothing Better then that

YOU PUT IT INTO WORDS THIS IS AMAZING LUCAS

[@frost9681]

I think Justin comes up with some of the best characters, but I honestly think Ned was such an amazingly written character. Clint is extremely talented

[@danniiris]

You just see the stars. And they are beautiful.

The colored outlines on white characters make the red so much more striking. Awesome work.

[@northernwuds3223]

"Let's go on an adventure"- final words of Ned middle name Chicane. God bless his holy soul

[@OtherMomo]

Every once in a while I miss Ned like he was a real person. And in a lot of ways, he was.

[@blakeashby2091]

I feel like Ned was the most real person on TAZ to this date, when I think of Ned I think of him as an uncle to me

[@muttmouth]

I remember genuinely crying when ned died

[@randomsword10]

I may be looking WAY too into this, but I find it interesting that this animatic uses much fuzzier lines, with outlines sort of wavering even in still shots. It's a noticable style change compared to the animatics of Balance, and it makes me consider the parallel between D&D and MotW. D&D has much more rigid and defined rules, leading to clear, solid outlines, while MotW is much more relaxed and light on rules, fitting well with the wavering outlines.

[@herosparkyferrum]

OH MY GOD WOW. Wow simply wow, I never get tired of looking at your creations, the shapes you use for characters are phenomenal, not to mention the incredibly well-integrated way you make characters move to the music (example, 1:51 , LIKE WOW those smooth movements to the beats of the lyrics are pure mesmerizing) It’s been so long since I’ve listened to Amnesty, but throughout watching this entire video all of those memories of every scene of Ned’s story came flooding back to me. You captured each moment of his life so beyond perfectly, and the pacing was so beautiful, and the WAY IT STARTED WITH HIM LAYING IN THE GRASS STARING UP AT THE STARS AND ENDED THE EXACT SAME WAY HAD ME IN TEARS. your work is literally so beyond inspiring, again the smoothness and fluidity of the movements you give characters are so impressive, you inspire me so much to improve upon my own creative skills and reach a level reminiscent of this. Thank you so much for making and sharing this literally it was the highlight of my night, your ability to so perfectly tell this story through your art and animation is so incredible. All my love omg thank you

[@jabberdoggy4444]

Hard agree. Going to try to take this inspiration to my drawing practice tonight after work .:)

[@Paytonzane]

God the opening few notes are the exact same as when Ned dies. Seeing "TAZ Amnesty" and anything referring to a ghost, then hearing those notes, it immediately threw me for a loop. I was expecting an animatic of the scenes of Ned's death set to the music Griffin used. I was NOT expecting a full life recap. Such a good animatic.

[@mirasheikh4717]

This is so goddamn gorgeous and now I miss Ned Chicane even more than ever

[@babyslime]

While I loved TAZ:B I never really hooked into Amnesty like others did. It was ok for me, but didn't blow me away. This animation blew me away. This felt like I connected to the story for the first time. The transitions are incredible, the rough style goes perfectly with the song, the slow creeping use of solid colours growing from light to dark that ends on the red... then black... fucking gorgeous.

[@turtlebunny9386]

Felt the same way about it!

[@juliawhitmore3991]

The storytelling in this.../chef's kiss/

[@rabbitryrabbit]

i love this so much, ive watched it so many times, but only now did i realize the rock at 2:56 has loss on it.

[@avalon6748]

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT

[@twoeyrules]

I thought your Balance music videos were the pinnacle of KZbin animations but you blew yourself out of the water with this one. Crying on my lunch break, spectacular job.

[@BonnieBoestar]

God, you're just reminding me how Nedmund Chicane is one of the Adventure Zone's best characters by FAR and I just love it. All the love to Aubrey and Duck but he was truly a standout and not just because he died. Thank you for another absolute banger ♡♡♡

[@danielschultz6177]

My brother introduced me to the adventure zone last year, now it’s all I listen to at work alongside MBMBAM. It’s safe to say the McElroy’s got me through the hell scape that was 2020.

[@cameronbailey408]

I really did need a good cry and didn't even know it. Thank you. As if I can't decide didn't get stuck in my head for long enough 😅😁

[@darknitte]

This made me cry for the first time in a while. Wonderfully made, as always.

[@Amaraofficial]

the songs are so masterfully chosen for your videos. this song and the entire message of the lyrics, “you don’t need ghosts and you don’t need me”, are absolutely flawless for Ned and the way he viewed his place in the world, especially in his final hours. the animations are insanely fluid and enchanting. you’re truly brilliant

[@cardboarddraws9022]

I dropped everything I was doing to watch this, I remember hearing that it was in the works a few months ago and I've been really looking forward to it ever since and WOW it did not disappoint. This is making me long to relisten to Amnesty and bringing out all those sad Ned "Middle Name" Chicane feelings again...absolutely beautiful. All of your work feels so polished and professional. I am blown away.

[@flare3587]

This vid made me love this music (Edit):literally never got this many likes.

[@hecatekid2048]

I always love your animatics I immediately stopped watching infinity train for this

[@mangoisee]

;-; beautiful work as always, your taz stuff is always amazing, and your style is so unique! now to go cry about ned

[@danniiris]

The speed at which I hit the notification

[@roseplate279]

[@northernwuds3223]

I'm only ned came back that quick😞

[@FinalIcharus]

HE RETURNS!!!

[@RaspBerryPies]

Oh my God this is so well done! The music the art the backgrounds the perspective and the emotion ahhhhh! I just feel the scenes and emotions replaying in my head the day I heard them while watching this!!!

[@DefenseHamster]

oh my god this is gorgeous! there's so much passion put into your style, and how you've changed it subtly for the different campaign. Ned is my favorite gas character and it's amazing to see an animatic not just for amnesty but also about him

[@thegreataggron]

Dad McElroy always makes the best characters in terms of raw emotional feeling

[@Tinypuppets]

And you CONTINUE to be my favorite TAZ artist. Oh my god. Amazing as always

[@christianmilnamow6360]

...I have no Earthly idea of what was happening, but I don't care because this was phenomenal. Great work. Seriously.

[@theallmightyboop4732]

Its spoilers for a podcast called The Adventure Zone: Amnesty

[@nexelray3207]

You should listen to it, and learn about Ned and his cryptonomica

[@northernwuds3223]

This is kinda spoilers... But that doesn't matter

[@spacejumpzoroark4354]

Wasn't expecting to cry this evening, but this was emotionally incredible

[@ClockworkSnow]

I really thought I was emotionally stable for this... I thought wrong

[@marleenaahmadrapiee1617]

[@elif6908]

Oh god oh my heart this is amazing!! And heartbreaking but also so so precious!! Thank you for this for all the effort you’ve put into this! Ned is my favorite and seeing his life with all of its up and downs with your art is so good!

[@nandyk.2026]

!!! I remember absolutely ADORING your balance videos and now I find that you've made one on my favorite ammesty character? this is stellar!!

[@rhinocio]

OH MY GOSH OW??? MY HEART???? this was phenomenally done! the choice of colours, the transitions between smooth animation and abrupt animatic-type clips, the expressions and symbology??? I'm blown away, dude.

[@ptowzapotato4157]

Woah the way you use the meanings of the lyrics, I specifically noticed with "house home" when he gets the keys and "neatly folded" when he's folding the notes!!!! Amazing

[@sneakysnek572]

Rest In Peace, Ned. I didn’t know how much I loved you until you were gone. You were the hero we never knew we needed, and you died before you and Aubrey and the others could realize it.

[@denalischopp]

I don't remember subscribing to you, but I clearly had a good reason.

[@Critical_Heart]

Love your work, love your content, would love to see more in the future if you can manage it!

[@tobinbradshaw4059]

Flawless storytelling, music selection, animation, movement... need I go on? Every single one of your TAZ animations is fantastic! Keep up the good work!

[@malakaiauden9029]

Shit, man. I’ve watched this about four times over and I’m still not okay. This is gorgeous.

[@lizdiamond4030]

Holy. Shit. I literally just finished Amnesty like 2 days ago so I've been bingeing a lot of animatics lately lol and this is absolute mastery. I am SO INCREDIBLY impressed. You did such an amazing job!! Outstanding work!!

[@lavenderscare4995]

God this is just, on a whole new level for you from what I've seen, this was so good!!!

[@atrioanimations]

Can you stop making me fall in love with songs please? Every single choice you pick comes around and makes me love them. Curse you and your impeccable taste in music.

[@Aloemancer]

Man this video is perfect. Perfect song choice, perfect animation. RIP Ned Chicane. The stars are beautiful tonight.

[@SpicySoulsa]

God I love this so much. Love how the video comes full circle, but also just capturing Ned so well :000 Absolutely adore your style

[@kalebkirkevold5589]

That’s so much stuff that hurts but in a good way. Amazing work

[@tjswanson7577]

I somehow missed this going up, but I check your videos occasionally to see if you've updated and saw this waiting for me. I've recently experienced a loss, and Ned's death hit me hard the first time around. This video made both hit again at once, but in a good way. Keep doing what you're doing, I'll be looking forward to your future videos whatever they may be.

[@olispill255]

I love your stuff my dude. I also like the spiderman joke at the beginning

[@lythrumsalicaria]

Oh man, this was both incredibly beautiful and incredibly emotionally devastating to watch 💕 Thank you for making such wonderful art

[@willyguston407]

This is absolutely wonderful. Thank you for making this.

[@CHAMpion-rw2zi]

Simply another amazing animation, brings back the memory of cry at night the first time I listen to the death of Ned. I see the stars, and they are beautiful!!!

[@moeman75]

Lucas, you really outdid yourself with this one

[@pallasnelli1091]

RETURN OF THE KING

[@sombi18]

You are really, really good at this. Why animators don't have big auditory? Their huge work deserve it.

[@suctioncupman2100]

My favorite parts of this are right at the beginning and at the end. I mean, all of the animation is breathtaking but those stars? They are beautiful.

[@nathaningram347]

This is amazing. Genuinely top tier of the highest tiers available! Thank you so much for the hardwork that went into making this masterpiece!

[@datamancy138]

first off, this is delightful. second off, who gave you the right. third off, is... is that loss??? 2:56

[@mooselybased]

Haha, congrats on being the first to comment about loss! One of my favorite memes to sneak into things

[@samanthaoteri1718]

I wish there was a way too tell how many times you've watched a video because it's gotta be in the low hundreds at this point.

[@goodhuman_person619]

God this is legitimately amazing. I need to go listen to the entirety of TAZ Amnesty again, right now.

[@deltaphant_]

I don't know why this didn't appear in my subscription box when it released, but I'm glad it at least got recommended now!

[@pastelchemicals1331]

THIS IS FANTASTIC!!! I adore the mix of animation and still shots, as well as the amazing use of colour oh my GOSH I love this. Always a good time to cry about Ned Chicane

[@Weirdplant97]

Dang, this was worth the wait

[@miguelcunhakowalski1099]

“Worth to wait”

[@eretthepangolin]

I have loved both this song and your animations for a while now but I never realized I needed them together, this is perfect.

[@therogue353]

you consistently manage to punch me right in the heart, well done

[@rebekahe6825]

this was so gorgeous! you made art and story match so well with the song!

[@mellindART]

I love Ned and this is so well done! Thank you!

[@dishonesthonest1327]

Damn it man I’m crying. Ned Shicane man, Ned Frickin Shicane

[@yumiendercat3685]

This came out around the time I started amnesty and man this convinced me to continue listening

[@averycushmore7485]

i love everything about this animatic but especially: 1. your aubrey design 2. TINY GOATMAN 3. i absolutely never would have thought of this as a ned song but it's fucking perfect 4. no seriously everything. i love everything

[@taakofromtv150]

I finally finished episode 28 and let me just say this is beautiful

[@SticksTheFox]

Fuck man... a made up fictional story and Im crying... thats, yeah... good work. Top notch story telling with excellent animation.

[@tylerstanley8196]

IM NOT CRYING UYOUR CRYING (This was amazing and absolutely wonderful)

[@sparkusclark6176]

Me, watching this: Haha-oh wow this is pretty cool......oh yeah I remember that.....oh neat use of the animation.....oh......Oh-No.....Oh no, now I'm crying *sobs*

[@Zaqt23145]

Oh, oh yes, now I'm crying on a friday night. Just, god the animation is so beautiful, so expressive and just alkdfjkla the composition of the shots, and my HEART hurts so much. The last line......just an amazing job (as always!)

[@changelingArts]

Got me crying over an amv like I’m in middle school again. 10/10

[@sunshineflicker6120]

You always find so fitting songs!!

[@Aeivyen]

Every time I come back I'm more and more amazed at all the little details you've put into this. This song will forever make me think of Ned because of this video and all the work you put into it

[@enteriris8945]

NOOOOOOO. This is BRUTAL and GORGEOUS. Your work is incredible, you are so skilled my guy.

[@fluximperium]

HOW DARE the KZbin algorithm hide this from me for 2 YEARS!??

[@Jannoo16]

It's soooooo good! It shows all the hard work you put into this! Thank you for once again a new fav video of yours.

[@Jannoo16]

Seriously, it's like the music is made for the video. It is such a treat to watch. So much enjoyment. And tears. I love it.

[@ainsleyhogan6015]

Maybe I WILL cry about ned chicane. What about it.

[@lime_forrest1451]

I’m so glad this community is still alive. I can tell you how much I love amnesty and seeing this made my day. Man. Just- all I can say is this is absolutely beautiful. Good job!

[@safabekr]

So smooth!!! SO GORGEOUS!!!! It’s an absolute joy to see you back at it again in this Krispy Kreme

[@nicklane2282]

You know, I first watched this when it first came out a month ago, and it literally moved me to tears. So I figured after a few more viewings, it would wear off, right? Nope. Still happens, every single time. Its truly wonderful how much emotion the boys packed into the campaign, and truly masterful how you managed to distill so much of it into one video. Simply beautiful.

[@reganyoung8491]

THIS IS SO GOOD...i just finished relistening to amnesty but this is making me wanna do it again, i love your art style so much!!! buff aubrey is everything

[@high_as_icarus5057]

Just finished amnesty today, and... wow. I miss ned

[@sethgolson2623]

Dear Aubrey, I'm taking your advice and heading out for parts unknown. But I need you to know how sorry I am for the impact that I have had in your life. I am a thief. I have always been a thief. But I have never been a robber. There is a huge difference. I never ever wanted anyone to come to any kind of harm in any of my capers. The fire that took the life of your mother was an accident. A horrible accident that was not supposed to happen… but it did, and I am to blame. I am not asking you to forgive me. I don‘t want you to forgive me. I want you to always keep in mind that no matter how small a wrong action may seem, wrong is always wrong. And it can easily cause events to quickly spiral out of control. No, I don‘t want you to forgive me, Aubrey. I want you to hate me. I want you to focus all your hatred on me. And that will free up all the love in that big, remarkable heart of yours for the rest of the world. Hold tight to that pendant. Try to have Duck‘s back. And become a better person than I. With love, Edmund Kelly Chicane

[@bigpeacepipe9741]

As I understand it Bravery in a way, is when someone who is afraid, acts against their fear and takes a risk knowing it might cost them severely. But they do so anyway in spite of their fear because (to them at least) it’s worth it. And if an act of bravery is proportional to the fear it confronts, then maybe one brave act, from a scared enough coward, for something worth the risk, could change everything? Edmund, Kelly, Chicane Status: Brave His friends call him Ned

[@liaoxmichael]

This is, as always, incredible. Thank you for sharing your art with us.

[@tentativegazer]

Ned us probably my favorite character in all the campaigns, which is odd because Merle was also my favorite balance character. How does Clint do it?

[@cobalt.studios]

I love your design for Duck so much

[@rlvids9889]

GOD this brought back all the Amnesty feels. Also I got so excited when I saw you made another TAZ video

[@sparbit2845]

This is great. Slowly catching up to how many times I've watched the bad guy video. But I just realized this and it bugs me, they said when the car crashed Boid was driving.

[@jacksoncroww]

I watched this even though it spoiled a little bit of amnesty for me and that's ok. I would spoil all of TAZ, including Graduation and Balance, just to watch this. This is one of my favorite animations of all time

[@brianna2017]

wow. this is absolutely beautiful. You did Ned's story such justice, every piece of this is so stunning- thank you for creating this

[@YouthfulKunoichi008]

Was watching your other TAZ videos and saw this! Fantastic work yet again. Thank you for blessing us.
