If we just stick together [TAZ Animation]

When my friend first released the remix for this song, I knew I wanted to make an animation to it, but it wasn’t until a year later I knew exactly how that animation would go. Here is the product of two wild weeks of creation, six months of brainstorming, and a decade of friendship.
Special thanks to a couple of ferns for inspiring me to do better and be better. I live in awe of your creativity and curiosity, and I feel so lucky to know you!

[@pinkllama16]

you know for a FACT i slowed it down so i could check out every one of those beautiful scenes, holy crap dude

[@maximumdm9612]

Hannah Koga oh my gosh dude thank you for that

[@AraJade]

ME

[@faroshscale]

The one w magnus scaring davenport was so cute lol

[@zolaliz4000]

Me TOO

[@periperiwinkle92]

ME THREE

[@flumpymaster]

Amazing! I loved the subtle mouthing of "MAGNUS!" At the beginning.

[@trulyAmatulHaqq]

This is absolutely stunning, every frame!! Your crunchy surfer Taako who dresses like every boy from my SoCal high school gives me such LIFE! The animation on Magnus and Lup are especially vibrant and expressive. Infinitely rewatchable and I love your friend's song :)

[@moonstruck8245]

I'm from SoCal too and I know SO MANY people who dress just like that - and do it myself sometimes. XD

[@Sherylmikk]

As I (repeatedly) watched this the scene in moonlighting where Lucretia talks about the "dark and powerful Red Robes" kept playing in my head.

[@cubalayabandit5591]

Darkrystal Sky That's hilarious. Thank you

[@joeyfromschool]

Lucretia: “The Red Robes are incredibly powerful and incredibly dangerous.” Lucretia: *Remembers Merle throwing up on the beach for like six months* Lucretia: *stifles laughter*

[@flairhayden]

All I've ever wanted in life was a design for Merle that made up for his under-representation through the series, and this sunburnt dad af Merle met my MIGHTY NEED. If there had been a shot showing the hunger I might have died. But for real, every second of this was golden, well done. EDIT: just saw the animation on Barry in the third shot and it is worth exactly $1,000,000

[@Blizardstar1200]

God I love all of this. Every frame is so good. I love Luce’s little “Magnus!” at the beginning and Lup’s movements while casting the fireballs is so cool and good I could watch it on loop for hours.

[@krzlcve]

I agree so much

[@alainaavocado4243]

ik you said it wasnt intentional but the pull scene with lup shooting off little fireballs times perfectly with the words of the song and ive just been rewatching that part like 20 times this is so fucking good!!!! everything abt this is so good ;-;

[@jeinudraws]

Well, it was intentional-- I just got super lucky that what I animated ended up syncing properly hahaha

[@frankdonatelli343]

When can we crowd fund an animated series by you????

[@Bells_Haven]

I love the Frame where Barry is freaking out in the water and Taako is just like “you’re fine “

[@emorykj3158]

Lup's choreo as she was busting that driftwood made me want to NUT

[@galli4217]

This is INCREDIBLE. It honestly just takes my breath away? The way Magnus dives in at the beginning, Lup blasting the driftwood out of the sky....its so fluid? You did an amazing job on this! Also beach episode is the BEST

[@0Smilelikeyoumeanit]

The scene where Lup blasts the drift wood is INCREDIBLE! The movements are so smooth, and the way the blasts send her hair and clothing blowing is just enchanting. I've watched this 20x times and it never gets old. Thank you so much for releasing this!

[@zolaliz4000]

I love how Lup's cheeks glow when she uses her magic thats such a simple and wonderful touch I dub that canon

[@pearlyp9898]

i think thats just the light of her magic shining against her skin, not the skin itself glowing lol (tho that would also be rad)

[@Eye-Of-The-Beholder]

Hot diggity shit that's a baller animation! For real, this is gorgeous! The animation is so fluid and the designs are amazing! (I think i fell in love with your Lup) You deserve way more views my dude.

[@lavenderfaerietale3330]

I LIVE for this design of Lup and Taako

[@seaweed5269]

Such crispy designs and *smooth* animations. You know that that little Lup action scene was amazing? Well, I say it again. Magnus' sneak attack on Barry is also golden. Thank you for this! *instantly added to the "great TAZ animatics" collection*

[@SunnyTheOpossum]

I know this is pretty old at this point, but I would just like to say that this is by far my favorite TAZ-related animation ever.

[@michiewolf8804]

I cant believe all the details put into this. Everything is on beat and even the scenes that flash by have so much work on them. Thank you for this!!!

[@emechu_]

This animation is so smooth and dynamic and your blupjeans moments are on point as always! I love this already and will probably continue to watch it over and over again.

[@Hannah-ud8yt]

this cam back in my recommended and i have been reminded of all the dumb bits they did. Meryl trying to give people gifts of random shit he found on the ground and magnus scaring everyone for no reason, taako inventing surfing and makign his seaweed shoes float away. good stuff man what a show, and this represents it so well

[@torihusen5099]

"Hey Lip! Pull!" *Various fireball noises* "Rad!"

[@willduderino6130]

My god the energy in lups spellcasting and the light that flashed against her face omggggg!

[@DannyHannan]

You know...there aren't many shows that can say "then our heroes, facing a world-destroying threat, went on a year-long vacation" and make it work. Gotta love TAZ! :D

[@hazendir]

your Lucretia is one of my favorite lucretias

[@gwynjustice6664]

coming back after a year or so and still noticing the mouthing of the name "Magnus" after two Magnus shenanigans prooves the quality of this fantastic animation, tbh.

[@Bloodyshadow1]

this all was gorgeous, but that shot of lup casting magic against the drift wood was beyond compare

[@todomii3556]

THAT PART WHERE MAGNUS THROWS THE DRIFTWOOD AND LUP BLASTS IT OH MY GOD.... HECC IVE GOT FEELINGS.......

[@murmurgamy]

Magnus jumping over the railing really sets the mood for the rest of the video -- vibrant, surprising, fun and moving neatly to the music!!!

[@matejvoslar6947]

Anytime Clint says "Merle doesn't run, Merle waddles" I am reminded of your animation of Merle waddling along the beach

[@jesse3548]

Why do I like the Lup animation so much? The part where she shoots the piece of driftwood out of the sky is so smooth and detailed, I love it

[@tylerblack3962]

How is this only being recommended to me now?!? I love the image of Barry almost drowning and Taako being like 👍

[@traetchskwerl589]

like i thought they were precious before, but... this animation made me fall deeply in love with blupjeans

[@savemeaspoon6310]

Everything is on beat?? Lup's bolts as well as when they hit the log?? What INSANE amount of detailing and dedication and talent went into making this is beyond me- this is absolutely phenomenal

[@artcfertc12]

I'm completely flabbergasted!! I can't explain how much this brings me happiness

[@fdajax5107]

Stolen Century is my favorite arc in Balance

[@ReonSkyridge]

Honestly, beach episode was one of the best parts of Lost Century. The world needs more surfer dude Taako and failed jump scare Magnus

[@scottogle672]

It took me like 5 min to watch this 'cuz I kept rewinding the parts where Magnus leaps off the boat and where Lup fires her wand. You have a real gift for body movements!

[@200frogs8]

this is so amazing!! here's to your friendship

[@georgiaswamptiger]

God. This is honestly the best taz animatic I've seen! I for sure slowed it down to watch the montage you added!

[@ByrdieFae]

This is so brilliant. I have watched this over and over again just now. The part where Lup is casting fireballs is my favorite, you did such a great job on that! I hope the McElroys see this.

[@mollychekal1533]

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANIMATICS

[@elenamora1488]

I just finished this episode and I am in LOVE with this animation!!!!

[@swapado]

Beautiful animation and color scheme! I love how smooth it all is!! ♡♡♡

[@kinless33]

New favorite Lup. Awesome job.

[@poeticcinema5857]

Stunning. Amazing. Beautful.

[@viridiansky400]

This, this is so FREAKING good! Also taako cooking for them at the end is the chefs kiss

[@KarrinBlue]

ohhh this is so beautiful! all the movements are so expressive and fluid (especially the bit with Lup firing off firebolts), and I love your character design! Your backgrounds are also beautiful, everything's so colorful and bright! on a cold day like this I kinda wish I could jump into this video.

[@wearmeout1]

this is incredible.. wow

[@catbfs]

I am blown away by this oh my god..????! It looks like so much hard work went into this vid . The result is stunning

[@SwerveStarEx]

This entire animation was fantastic! >w< And the Barry/Lup moment at the end was adorable.

[@yk6007]

This is absolutely gorgeous!

[@lovecherryzoldyck]

incredible. your lup design gives me the will to live INCREDIBLE!!

[@saraherbertwatson706]

I can’t stop watching this I love it so much 😍 I love how you synced up the animation to the beat 😊

[@SingleSideBand]

this is completely underappreciated, a stunning work of animation and everything I could have hoped for in a snippet of this arc

[@sewingneedles]

So wonderful!

[@Sleipnirseight]

Oh man this is freaking SPECTACULAR. I really wish you hadn't blown by all the amazing scenes in the middle, but I'm so glad I slowed it down to 0.25 and hit pause/play 5 million times because I could not stop laughing at those scenes you brought to life so well

[@adriennefundy6087]

Liked this on Twitter, and had to do so here, too. Such awesome work. Keep it up, and thank you for contributing to the fandom like this!

[@mapleblackoak6192]

Holy crap. I cannot even explain how happy this animation makes me feel. This is just awesome. Just... wow.

[@diddlysquash]

This is stunning, I just watched it so many times

[@twigwigsoso]

Every frame is great

[@wilhelmeniabilliedoherty5917]

Just watching this on loop and getting more emotional each time

[@sapphic_sophie]

This is amazing. I love animatics and all, but it’s incredible to see something that’s actually animated, not just key framed. I especially love Lup’s design and the animation on her shooting the driftwood. Keep up the incredible work!

[@staplesyrup7600]

This is amazing!! The way you designed and animate them just really brings out the fun of that beach episode. Love it!!

[@HM-eb5tw]

This is absolutely stunning 💙💙

[@Saturnzreal36]

This is absolutely beautiful

[@frankdonatelli343]

THIS IS AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL.

[@Gracyn1102]

This is so amazing!!! The character models and expressions, the backgrounds, how perfectly it fits the music??? I love this so much

[@freynixon2901]

This entire video gives me life. It’s so beautifully animated and well done!

[@pdtulip]

I LOVE THIS~ The animation is so smooth and fluid~ I've always loved your designs, and seeing them move is so lovely! Also, I'm so invested in Barry and Lup, and the scene between them is so sweet~ The song choice is great and this whole scene is just so happy and lovely... I just really love this so much!

[@wolfania]

TWO WEEKS?!?! YOU MY FRIEND ARE A LEGEND!! I DONT THINK I COULD DO THIS IN A YEAR

[@kariannek7326]

This is absolutely incredible!!! The little details are everything 🔥

[@cubalayabandit5591]

What can I even say to complement this enough??? It's so fluid, and the coloring so good, and the anatomy so fantasy. UHG. Thank you

[@yvetteberner815]

THIS IS SO SMOOTH AND I LOVE IT~!!!! I especially adore Lup firing off those fireballs, and how it synced up to the music perfectly!

[@justanotherandomanon]

What an absolutely incredible animatic!

[@zenithaaeon1998]

Beyond Perfect!

[@torcoolguy]

I madly adore your animation.

[@Criztobal]

Beautiful!

[@makaylat.7005]

Im obsessed with this animation! its soo good!! my favorite part is when magnus fuckin jumps off the ship and lucritia is like "MAGNUS!?"

[@SchRibbit]

This is absolutely incredible. I'm going to watch this a hundred times, and I sent it to my friends. I can't wait for more people to see this! You've done an amazing job.

[@YaBoiBells]

Absolutely gorgeous and so smooth! I’m at a loose of words because of how great this is

[@rebeccah4732]

Im sobbing with delight masterful work

[@souppewter5877]

This is beaytiful and just?? So smooth it's wonderful.

[@ExBerian]

[@Inculturapedia]

Whew... what can I say that isn't in the comments already?! 1000/10 Top notch work, thanks for sharing it with us! :)

[@ricktastica]

phenomenal!

[@YeorickGaming]

This is probably my favorite Lupe i've seen.

[@hannaha8566]

This is BEAUTIFUL! Your animation is so fluid and gorgeous, and I love your designs for the characters!

[@joshuabillie5083]

I love it, especially Lup shooting the magic missile

[@giomartin7521]

i'm haunted by this. fluid yet snappy movements so perfectly timed. i have watched this 20+ times in the last 12 hours and i see it when i close my eyes

[@goldenCrows]

This is perfect!

[@j.p.3367]

So fluent!!! And I love the character designs!!

[@ahobbit1273]

Beautiful!!!!

[@MysticSybil]

This looks so GOOD!

[@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123]

Magnus isn't shirtless under his IRPE robe to show off his abs, he's shirtless under his IRPE robe so he can pull off sweet jumps off the Starblaster without anyone stopping him

[@neonnutte3053]

This is just so awesome and smooth?? How is that even possible oh my god

[@jadereynolds1204]

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

[@cordthomas97]

This is by far the best taz animation I've seen yet

[@EL-jq1sq]

Oh my goodness this is so amazing!!!

[@mosskii6832]

There are no words to fully describe how much I love and adore this like damn it’s so stunning!

[@sand__witch]

I'M IN LOVE??? This is so smooth and well-synced and the designs are absolutely gorgeous! Not to mention your art style and the colors you picked are total eye candy. You did such a good job capturing the fun, vibrant feel of the beach episode and it's so great to see the IPRE just feeling good and being a weird little apocalypse-escaping family together. Your Lup is absolutely beautiful and the way you animated her blasting the driftwood-the way it syncs up perfectly with the words-just makes my heart sing.
