Mistborn: The Final Empire - Fan made opening title sequence

Fan project for the first Era of the Mistborn world. I wanted to recreate the tone of dread and submission that transitions to rebellion and strength. A quick introduction to the Mistborn world without giving anything away from the story. I decided that a rough, sketchy look would suit this harsh fantasy.
Casting Choices, in order of showing:
Kelsier - Charlie Hunnam
Lord Ruler - Oscar Issac
Clubs - Robert Carlyle
Sazed - Lance Reddick
Marsh - Craig McGinlay
Vin - Dafne Keen
Dockson - Gina Torres
Ham - Jeffrey Wright
Elend - Tyree Brown
Music spliced from Equilibrium/Enemy by Blue Foundation

Anyone else really hoping for a mistborn animated series in a similar vain as arcane? It's unlikely, most likely they'll go live action. But like aghh if mistborn wouldn't be perfect in a stylistic animation style

[@Rick41632]

That could be amazing! As long as they keep it accurate to the books 😄. If they do that and make it Arcane-like with the animation, I would definitely watch it. Not that I wouldn't if it would be a different animation-style 😂. The mistborn-series is just amazing

[@sawdust8691]

That would be great! Better than live action in my opinion.

[@Rick41632]

@@sawdust8691 Yes! Agreed

[@aidanmcbride5834]

Read it for the first time recently, as I was going though I always thought that the more iconic scenes would be way better animated

[@angli3865]

@@Rick41632 Well, idk about the others, but the there are a lot of things in the first book taht they could skip and still make a good adaptation

[@qudchebdgsj1331]

I love how Kredik Shaw at the biginning kind of looks like a dark version of the Disney Castle!

[@cubbeige7104]

Mistborn should deffo be an animated show. There's more room for creativity with the visuals if it's done in animation..kinda like Arcane Anyways loved the work you've done here

[@mariocolina3621]

I think the same thing, All Cosmere should be animated.

[@Mark-in8ju]

@@mariocolina3621 Yes. This will allow all stories to be portrayed nearly word-for-word from the novels!

[@PhoenixThunderheart]

I'm racking them up. Time for another re-read

[@mushraccoon]

This looks sooo good, definitely how I imagined it- like the choice of colors, the music, ugh! You hit right on the spot with this. Mistborn would be sooo cool as an animated series, people are saying Arcane and as much as I can agree to that, it could also look so good in an older animated style with some rougher lines and keeping it 2d. It would suit the series so much. Super well done mate! We continue to hope for an official series XD

[@GhostKingDeAngelo]

All of Brandon’s books would be absolutely wasted with live action. This was beautiful and only cements the idea that an animated Mistborn series would be perfect

[@GhostKingDeAngelo]

Also, I just went back and read the credits. Oscar Isaac would be an amazing choice

[@_argent]

Some of the transition effects - the blood between the tiles most notably - are really cool!

[@mrsgixxie750]

[@hemantkejriwal6925]

It’s amazing. The music does it for me. It’s already on my mind

[@JeremyHoffman]

The music choice, "Equilibrium", is sublime. Fits Mistborn really well.

[@Eternal_anguish]

It’s a bit cheesy and doesn’t fit the darker sort of medieval tone of the series imo

[@DoctorBahoots]

Charlie Hunnam as Kelsier would be absolutely perfect

[@hrishere7202]

music fits so well with animation

[@Marsproject11]

Exceptional opening, though the only thing I think is missing is an image of Kelsier, the man CARRIED that book so hard.

Omg this is soooo good. I can't believe I never saw this before. Definitely deserves more love

[@jetstonez7935]

i've just started listening to the mistborn series on audible last week and now it's all over my recs lmao. cool video!

[@ianlarsen3920]

I feel like I should be guessing the roles your fan cast would play. I'm guessing... Charlie Hunnam as Kelsier, Oscar Isaac as Dockson, Robert Carlyle as Clubs, Lance Reddick as Sazed, Craig McGinlay as... Breeze, maybe? And Dafne Keen as Vin, obviously. Those are my best guesses. This is very well-animated. Fanmade Mistborn content just doesn't get enough attention, does it?

[@frankiwilson7574]

Hi & thank you! Here were my casting choices: Charlie Hunnam (Kelsier), Oscar Issac (Lord Ruler), Robert Carlyle (Clubs), Lance Reddick (Sazed), Craig McGinlay (Marsh), Dafne Keen (Vin), Gina Torres (Dockson), Jeffrey Wright (Ham), & Tyree Brown (Elend)

[@ianlarsen3920]

Cool!

[@senorapastelilla3757]

@@frankiwilson7574 I loved what you did! I totally disagree on your cast options for Elend, Ham and Dockson tho :D. Oscar Isaac would be a total fit for Doc, there's no need to change anyone's etnia nor gender.

[@jacobcharleszimmerman7934]

@@senorapastelilla3757 I agree with you about the gender thing. But in this particular case, Brando Sando himself has said on his live streams that he would change Doc's gender if he wrote the script.

[@David_Rg]

it needs some little improvements here and there, maybe with those nails at 0:17 or with that bounce at 0:48, but those are tiny details. Overall, its really impressive. I really like the image of Luthadel with that big red sun behind, I think the music fits really well and I like how the animation follows its beats. I also want to point out that, in my opinion, those mists are really neat

[@bethanyheller6162]

The vibe doesn't seem quite right. Maybe the music? In any case, this is really well done and I absolutely love it!

[@purpleghost106]

Yes, mismatch with the music. The animation is gorgeous, (like it's STUNNING OP! You did good with it!) but the music is so blandly contemporary with no flourishes or excitement, it has good lyrics but the actual singing and sound don't convey their grit. I'd honestly go with a very striking instrumental. It's not so easy for an animator to just wrangle up something, but surely there must a musician who is a fellow fan!

[@karlsnilsson]

@@purpleghost106 The current song feels a bit more like Era 2, little bit of a western style

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

[@njvodin1766]

this is great. some feedback, maybe. I'm by no means an expert on animation or drawing. but as a casual viewer, maybe you could try and make the impacts (like the metal in the vial, or the coins on the cobbles) more lifelike, as they kinda just float and bounce weirdly. Other than that, the composition is great, colour scheme is great, style is great. Nice job!

[@elijahdapaedobaptiza4831]

First I just want to say that this is an amazing animation and I can’t wait for the Mistborn adaptation to come. On the fan casting, the only two I could get behind were Rashek, Sazed, Vin, and Marsh. Everyone else just doesn’t fit their descriptions nor what they sound like they look like, especially Elend. Most definitely Elend. Also I wrote this in a different comment but Dox being a woman is very strange considering his character
