Critical Role Animatic - Chaos at Sky

[@DParkerNunya]

Ashton not telling the others he is in a large amount of pain because they sounded busy might have single handedly made him the most relatable D&D character ever

[@emthatyourefuse2494]

Even tie with Laerryn Coramar-Seelie and her *complete* inability to produce coherent sentences when someone snaps her out of crunch time hyperfocus mode.

[@cannotthinkofaname7904]

Chronic pain life

[@GirishManjunathMusic]

When Fearne says "you do _not_ have to do this!" With that much concern you know you're breaking new ground in chaotic neutral

[@magicmuffin247]

It's that moment when you throw out a bad idea, and you know it's a bad idea as soon as you say it, but half of your friends want to do it anyway and there's no turning back.

[@aceknowles8841]

For once in Fearne’s life, she uses her common sense.

[@TempestLM]

Fearne experienced what others feel around her and instantly horrified

[@gav7497]

Caduceus: The time for talking is over Ashton: The time for common sense is over Please Taliesin, never change

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

He makes some of the greatest in-character-out-of-character comments. All hail the Lord of the Dice.

[@bunnycat5552]

1:45 is my favorite moment here, as great as EVERYTHING is, Chetney going "I got a harpoon" while FCG is trying to do therapy to a desert kraken is what got me

[@bskec2177]

"Is there a world were we could just lift it?" "Sure there is, but we don't live in that one, we live in this one"

[@hfar_in_the_sky]

Having this animatic set to tune of "Drunken Sailor" makes it even funnier!

[@OriginalCreatorSama]

the only thing that would make it better would be the faint tune of Yakkity Sax playing in the background

[@caitlinokeefe1598]

“We’re picking this bitch up” 5 minutes later “CAPTAIN, PERMISSION TO FIRE?!?!” “DO IT!”

[@razgriz2276]

"I DON'T KNOW BUT I'M WILLING TO TRY!" Only death or glory are followed by these words! Hahaha 🤣

[@scarletangel9462]

👍

[@TakeWalker]

"She or he is looking for their spawn, their children..." "I GOTTA HARPOON!" Love this one. :D So glad to see someone animating the captain.

[@cade11071994]

Whether it's because Fearne came up with it, or because he's the second most chaotic person in this group, but Chetneys unwavering excitement for this plan was my favorite part!!!

[@brentage5000]

"All right, been a great day, I'm going back to--" *collapses unconscious on deck* Yeah, this pretty much sums up the Hells. Love that you threw in Drunken Sailor to really play up the insanity😂

[@alonosh7184]

I felt so bad for Talisen when no one acknowledged his character collapsing on the deck. Still, understandable. There was a lot going on, and he was an excellent sport about it. :P

[@leojamesclune1730]

When you say it like that, it feels like the party glazing over Scanlans issues.

[@brentage5000]

@@leojamesclune1730 Scanlan? Did you mean to type Taliesin? Or even Ashton? But to answer your question, no, I didn't mean it like that. Mostly, I think I meant it as them dealing with shit way beyond their level and being exhausted afterwards.

[@flooferdoofer]

"I don't make it to the cabin..." Poor Ashton xD Trying to remain though while really just wanting to Nope right outa there

[@flooferdoofer]

Tough? Sorry, the spelling of the word confuses me. I mean strong in a prideful way :3

[@NicolasPine]

"I'm gonna try some weird shit." Proceeds to punch the magical engine of the skyship

[@rhylin26]

“The time for common sense is over…” A very relatable statement in dnd.

[@melnay1352]

This scene is the perfect encapsulation of the chaos of Bell’s Hells.

[@arturoreyescortez2476]

This animatic is good and the end with Ashton doing the Yamcha pose is hilarious.

[@kadenring7158]

The Yamcha pose at the end XD

[@majorplothole2620]

FCG: "Wait! WHAT?!" Ashton: "I'm sorry, you were all... busy. I didn't want to interrupt.. anything." FCG: "Are you okay?!" Ashton: "CLEARLY NOT!" And this. this is why we love Ashton and FCG's dynamic so much. lol

[@cmrobbins88]

When the ditzy Druid with sticky fingers and a lack of experience in reading social queues tells you that something is a bad idea… IT’S A BAD IDEA!!!!!

[@georgerobins4110]

“I’m kinda magic I don’t know!!” I love Ashton so much

[@LyrictheFilthyCasual]

Captain Xandis is definitely in my top 3 favorite NPCs EVER. Pure chaos, but so good-natured while doing it.

[@mojorojo_5595]

the moment the music kicked in this became pirates of the Caribbean... well done

[@brentage5000]

Sky Pirates of the Menagerie Coast?

[@rikkuwolf4166]

If you have someone who wants to get into dnd, just show them this video. No context, no identifying characters, just set this down in front of them like a covered dish and let them experience dungeons and dragons because this video is exactly what dnd is

[@nickrussell8279]

1:52 I question how Chutney will be able to aim that giant crossbow when his height isn't even larger than the fence of the flying ship.

[@Midori_Seabreeze]

Didn’t he have help from a crew member?

[@shmee123ful]

Astron:" I feel the time for common sense is over" That should be Critcal roles dame catch prase Alternatively, these people wouldn't know common sense if it came up ant bit them

[@jb-wc1hx]

“I think the time for talking is over”-Caduceus Clay 6 years earlier.

[@deranged_dragon9471]

@@jb-wc1hx no, no no no, just no. How the fuck is that phrase 6 years old...

[@magicmuffin247]

My favorite part was Chetney fishing for the Harpoon in the background 😂

[@KristynRene.]

I NEVER KNEW ASHTON DIDNT MAKE IT TO A BED AND JUST COLLAPSED 🤣🤣

[@VI_VA.]

After watching this several times, I noticed at min 2:40 you can see Orym Narutorunning in the back xDD

[@curlybirdy]

i desperately want this animatic with “He’s a Pirate” playing in the background-

[@Jonic_P]

You are always THE BEST when it comes to giving characters expressive faces!!! This time, you made everything so dynamic and fluid for one of the craziest plans so far in Campaign 3!!!!! You really brought it to life!!!

[@bdletoast09]

I think what really separate their work from other animatics done on youtube is the storyboarding. The way they edit those little scene to rearrange the story and make the funny moments 10x times funnier is awesome.

[@StrifeAiray]

Ashton: **punches engine** Captain: "What are you doing?!" Ashton: "I'm kinda magic! I don't know!" **punches engine again** Gotta love Ashton's crazy creativity 😂

[@squishmac]

I absolutely love how Matt's sound effects go with the scene - they sound so weird with the descriptions edited out but so perfect at the same time

[@Blackestrose]

the only thing i felt missing is the tentacles ending in hands like matt said. ( Imagine a lengthened squid, but its central body divides into two dozen long tendrils, each that ends in a long-fingered hand that grabs and wraps around.) but all the rest , style, facial emotions, poses are magnificent. this is art.

[@_____2219]

This gives off the same vibes as “let’s take bikini bottom and push it somewhere else” but it’s “let’s take the dusttra and lift it somewhere else”

[@cybermadness2503]

*AMAZING!!* I love your CR animatics so much! I would love to see your take on some CR one-shots in future!

[@Zombiewithabowtie]

"... You're mad!" "Well thank goodness for that, cos if I wasn't this'd probably never work."

[@Me-ss2gq]

I'm such a HUGE fan of every single one of your animatics (dance plan is my absolute favourite and one of my favourite KZbin videos period) but this one is just so chef's kiss!!! The chaos of these moments is captured so perfectly, Ashton's punching the crystal, 'I GOTTA HARPOON', the ship design, the layout of the scenes, Ashton pinned to the side. It's really a testament to your skill that you were able to compress half an hour into three minutes and still keep the spirit of it all alive. Kudos!!

[@djburk7930]

I love the captain and I really hope we them more in the future! Even after the pick up again. Such an amazing rendition of this scene!

[@OttersDen]

Oh. My. God. ... This. This right here. Admist all the rancor and shouting and, frankly, eldritch horror that is the internet. This amazing piece of work is one of the reasons why the internet exists.

[@mortifidpenguin]

the background music with this is perfect

[@johnrichardson8903]

Lol at Fearne doing the Push it somewhere else Patrick meme.

[@captnconfusion280]

this is amazing, it adds so much dynamic to the scene!

[@branharak1331]

The Yamcha ending is gold! XD

[@jasminethenoob1080]

the frame at 0:55 is so good. i love the captain so much

[@tomisabum]

Ya didn't HAVE to Yamcha our boy Ashton there, but I'm glad you did.

[@ondrabergmann2955]

Wow, the composition, the character designs! Fearne is so cute. The violin music is a great touch and the scene is so well cut and put together. I love this is much, amazing work, I can't stop watching this

[@roanneduarte8166]

Omg I love it! You picked the best parts to animate. Your Ashton is amazing.

[@bodenking]

I love everything about this the video, the expressions, the poses, the background events, the music, all of it is top notch

[@roboticd]

Imogen tried to Nausicaä this so hard

[@pippastrelle]

Omfg I love this the editing is amazing and makes the comedic timing and the frames look even better

[@LarzTTV]

I love how he went full on dead yamcha at the end.

[@munchkin5679]

This was one of my fav scenes so far!

[@Breadly_TV]

This is so well done! Also, I love that you kept Matt's sound effects in. It adds a level of hilarity to the insanity of this moment and they fit so well! Incredible work, as always!!

[@MadamFoogie]

Heheh, _Drunken Solder_ was a good musical choice. I know it's meant to be Tommy Wiseau. But does anyone else thing Xandis' voice sounds a lot like Puffin Forest's Abserd?

[@KKsis]

I forgot how wildly chaotic this whole sequence was and you captured it so well. XD

[@aivylotus4583]

This was expertly edited and conveyed the chaos of this scene (and the Bell's Hells in general) in great detail. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheShadowofLight]

Holy this animatic was amazing, I love how people are in the backround when they quip in a word, you did such an amazing work with this all characters feel so present and " still there" even when off screen!

[@toastoast]

The chaos is so perfectly depicted

[@ashleyzuehl3278]

Chet just running around causing more chaos in the background has me liking so hard 😂

[@justine6116]

This was amazing, great job! And the music when the captain gets on board with the crazy idea is just perfect!

[@Oatimusprimme]

The Yamcha at the end is a nice touch.

[@al_hews]

the second the music started i knew this would be fantastic 😂

[@kaitoshion2263]

the yamcha pose at the end was perfect love your work

[@ajogden1940]

INCREDIBLE. Stunning. Excellent editing. Omg, you took such a chaotic scene and made it even BETTER 😂

[@pyrosianheir]

Such a wonderfully chaotic moment. Absolutely magical when it happened.

[@chief_critical5318]

I love the sea shanty in the background as everyone begins to do crazy shit!

[@finn9707]

Absolute killer soundtrack choice

[@stupogo0]

I love everyone's movement and expressions!

[@reginaldjwest]

Oh the yamcha pose! Soo good!

[@Edlinqui]

Excelent, awesome, fantastic, amazing, I love it, keep up the good work dude!

[@Ziffelzoovop]

THIS is why Ashton is my favorite

[@Merjia]

This was single handedly one of the most bonkers moments in CR history.

[@ODoyleRulz]

Drunken Sailor was a nice touch!

[@tk42hamstermon]

Drunken sailor playing in the background makes this even funnier

[@talitherose]

*read your description Oh honey, I didn't have the half hour attention span.. 🤣 so your "compressed" video is just perfect for me! My point being: No matter what you create, there will be a perfect audience 💕this time it was me! so THANK YOU!!!!😄

[@Coleth.3]

Omg the animation made this scene even more chaotic 😂

[@Zindureth]

The yamcha pose is perfect

[@flaviacarneiro947]

seeing this animated makes me realize how truly chaotic this scene was

Thanks for making this ♥️

The captain is such a badass they embodied tommy wiseau but also very cool rly well lol

[@benjaminoechsli1941]

Oh, great, now I'm gonna be humming "Drunken Sailor" for the rest of the day. Too good a tune. ;) Ashton "dying" in the Yamcha pose was 😆👌

[@Nova-rz5it]

Omg I didn’t hear him say that he just fell over when I was watching it through initially 😂

[@BeerGeek21]

EXCELLENT music choice. lmao

[@elgatoamarillo]

Amazing

[@genkiwan8949]

Just to let you know, you version of Imogen is the cutest ^^ !!!

Not gonna lie I half expected to hear Reading Rainbow in the background.

The dead Yamcha pose

I see tommy wiseau in a bald cap

[@annikadauer1995]

drunken sailor playing in the background omg…

An airship can hold a graboid. If it cant, you need better broomstone.

Aw mang, poor yamcha hehe

do you have a link to the violin version of drunken sailor?
