Oh! so I'm not the only one that imagines animatics :)

[@achiehoot]

Same lol

[@voltsiano116]

This is a great balance between the two extremes that Life series animations normally fall into - incredible fun or full on Shakespearean tragedies. Each scene is treated with a certain level of seriousness, but the characters still have such a pumped-up energy. Not to mention the artwork itself, which is crisp, dynamic, and so full of detail! And it's clear who's who in each scene, even if I never watched or don't remember EVERY event. Hat's off!

[@noxlotl_]

Thank you ! Thats what i was going for : D !

[@natasha_anstee9646]

this!! i was well impressed with how recognisable your designs for the characters all are! kudos

[@rosesaysmeow8358]

That is so amazing. I agree that Life Series can be comedy or Shakespearean Tragedy.

[@2winkrabitsproducer919]

I'm going to add to this since I want to see if I can help get all the references, will add/edit this comment if I see more. 0:14 is probs Etho placing TNT on the bread bridge. 1:37 is probs from Last Life judging by Scott's skin

[@StartemisJash]

I’m pretty sure 1:37 is Scott vs Martyn in the Last Life finale!!

[@JediMaestr0]

@@2winkrabitsproducer919I was thinking the Etho one was in Secret Life when he randomly placed TNT in a field in order to get people to jump

[@kubagames143]

[@Web_Gremlin]

ALL OF THIS IS SO AMAZING!! I really don't have time to rant about how much I love this rn, but since you asked so nicely lol I do wanna to draw attention to my favourite thing I noticed throughout the video which was your use of the foreground and cinematic camera angles. As someone who is studying film making & cinematography I really admire (nerded out over to my brother lmao) how much effort you put into this, for example your use of motivated camera movement in the transition with etho at 0:13 and many more places throughout the animatic such as 0:35 with lizzy And i cannot express how much i love your composition, like at 0:40 when tango hit the wall. That has to be one of my favourite overall scenes. (No1 favourite scene has to be 1:32 tho lol) But also I love how you placed Pearl at 1:27 and directly after the scene with BigB and using a low angle shot after his high angle which really added to the impact. And when the bad boys fell out of the sky lmao Andddd how you shifted the focus from the foreground to the subject (bow, to scar) at 1:56 and in other places tooo like 1:22 AND your use of two shots (and also insert shots), like when he placed his hand on the hilt of his sword at 0:20 or 0:28 Not to mention the mannyyyyy more incredible uses of cinematography throughout the video and how amazing you actual drawing skills are in general (kudos to the thumbnail art mhmhm) and how smooth and natural all of your movements are!! Like how they draw weapons from their inventory or just the clothes blowing in the wind has me in awe. And the sword fight at 0:54 is so amazing! (Had to get a notable mention) But also the underwater scenes actually feel underwater, which is so awesome I can say with the utmost certainty that this is a _masterpiece!_ All of this is incredible!! You did such an amazing job!! Can't believe i wasn't subbed already but i am nowwww :D

[@noxlotl_]

You mentioned you didnt have time but you left such a detailed lovely comment thank you so much! Ngl I'm self taught so i dont know most of the terms you've mentioned but ah it makes me so happy that the details I added (cinematography and composition-wise) are getting noticed

[@tumblingartist]

ooooh I’m going to have to rewatch a couple of times to catch all those details!!

[@scribblecrumb]

my favorite part is legit just that they all look like they're having fun xD i feel like fan stuff for the life series gets a little too dark with it (which can be fun sometimes! don't get me wrong!) but it's so pleasing to see the characters all look like they're playing a game! and having fun! even with some serious moments. It feels very true to the actual series.

[@noxlotl_]

Thank you ! It actually makes me happy that it comes across that way ^^

[@nyxrivers8449]

I feel like most of that comes from martyns lore stuff. In his lore these are death games that they are trapped in that Character Grian is trying to get them out of. But I do agree that the lighter approach is nice to see. Especially because of how light-hearted and chaotic the players are.

I love the photo-tnt-falling-down scene so much .D Grian and Scar start bickering, Jimmy grabs Scott and Grian, Martin shoves Ren away, Tango jumps on Impulse, BDUBS JUST KEEPS SMILING-

[@sarablack2118]

I literally had to slow down the video to examine each scene, it's so good. I absolutely lost it at Etho sprinting away full speed, Rens face to being shoved back, Cleos resignation to everything. Literally every single one is so funny, I watched this part over and over and the devolve from chill to sheer chaos and panic in just three frames is top tier lmao

[@noxlotl_]

AAAAA- thanks D!!! 💕✨💕

[@nicholasfaccio1866]

This is so incredibly well done! Even down to which bits of each series you selected to go with the music. So many details that are amazing, but I think that your depiction of Ren as the unhinged bloodthirsty Red King, and the shot of Jimmy accidentally touching and detonating the TNT minecarts are probably my favorite. Absolutely nailed their expressions and tensions. And, of course, as usual, your Tango animation is peerless, duh.

[@penguin_reader_yt9510]

This is indeed top tier and i havnt even watched any of it, hoping to get into it with Secret Life. I just wanna point out that through all the action scenes, NONE of them have Mumbo. does he just not get into battle? or were none of his scenes good enough?

[@nicholasfaccio1866]

@@penguin_reader_yt9510 He's not big into pvp, but he also wasn't in several of the Life series seasons. However, I think there's at least one scene in the vid with him using an End Crystal - 1:13

[@Im_ARock]

​@@penguin_reader_yt9510 Yeah no, he didn't do much battling in the series he was in, which was Last Life. The main things he did were that he was the first (And so far only) person in the Life Series to craft and use end crystals, he killed Bdubs with one as the boogeyman, he and Grian had a dramatic standoff when Grian turned red, and then Grian killed him after killing Jimmy because Mumbo tried to avenge him. I just think he didn't get many chances for a fight scene because he died second, but maybe he'll get more chances in Secret Life :)

[@axolotdraws9946]

@@Im_ARockyeah no since the new episode sadly that isn’t happening this season either :(

[@echopan3274]

When they showed all the winners, I loved how in the background were memories of the SMP they won in like Grain had the cactus and the sapling and Scott had the axolotl and the potions and Pearl had Tilly and a photo of her tower and Martyn had his hourglass and coral I realised in everyone of them there’s the weapon they used to get their win, their base and an object/animal that played a big part in their POV, the detail is so amazing it’s unbelievable 2:12

[@jaywolf4824]

2:10 I love that. Their expressions being so serious/grim is such a good contrast. The amount of emotion and the fact that they all looks like they’ve been fighting really highlights the hunger games kinda feel that the series has undertones of. I think it really represents that aspect of the more lore/roleplay side of it all and the expressions are so in character. I’ve found a lot of the winner art/animatics don’t have such vivid facial expressions so this is really cool to see drawn! It’s also so fun to try and figure out all the scenes and where/when they’re from. Such a good animatic! All the little details are so cool too.

[@fire_fox7895]

YO, THIS IS AMAZING NOX!!!!! The transitions and the correspondence between the music is absolutely INSANE!!! WELL DONE!!!

[@Hapy71441]

This might be the greatest fan-creation for the life series I’ve ever seen.

[@nightalchemy]

Have already replayed this entire thing frame by frame and I'm in love with every single piece of it. Lost my mind a little at the last three images though, they tell such an adorable lil story! Bdubs just absolutely clueless off to the side, Scott and Pearl both having a really just chill "fine I'll be in the picture" energy, Scar annoying Grian, Martyn pushing Ren out of the way, Cleo resigned to her fate, Tango just fully tackling Impulse, Etho being the ONLY one to notice the TNT in time, it's just so perfect! Beautifully done, I could go on for ages on all the details in other scenes, but I won't. Yes I will. Just a little bit. Listen I tried to send this as it was but I'm just bursting at the seams with excitement okay? Things that filled me with impossible amounts of joy: - Scott being all proud of his lil house! - Tango's hair! - All of the impeccable fight choreography! - The strings snapping on the TNT trap! - Scar having no shirt true to canon lol - The contrast at 1:02 of Scott's "oh no" face and Grian's "oh YES" face! - Mumbo with an end crystal, could he look any cooler?! - The wither heads moving in time with the lyrics of the song going "bang bang bang" was so fun XD - The whole warden sequence, it's so goood! - Tango and Jimmy just chilling on the line "I'm up to something" - Etho sensing a disturbance in the force lol - The birds flying away and the trees rustling to alert the other members - The warden's glowing chest in the darkness!!!! - Jimmy and Tango tripping over themselves while running away grinning like the lil gremlins they are was like my favorite moment of the entire AMV - The Bad Boys falling from the sky, and Grian's respective panic when he first comes into view lolllll - Ren reflected in Martyn's axe! - I may have lost it a lil at the faces when the desert exploded, it was far more true to canon than we like to acknowledge lol - The winners' sequence with all its little details like the changing outfits and symbols in the background! - And of course, the stunning thumbnail art, it's so beautifully done! Ok im done ranting you've done awesome that is all

[@northfrost4018]

It's a small part of the animatic but the way you draw the warden is my favorite representation of the mob I have ever seen.

[@tempus_excurrens]

This absolutely needs to be seen by all the members! Its so well done! Its ridiculously detailed in a very good way! The expression, the composition of each scenes, its so lively and action-packed! You deserve more attention!

This is absolutely INCREDIBLE! Wow. I hope the content creators see this because this is one of the best animatics I've EVER seen.

[@hugolarsson4589]

[@Samantha-qe9gq]

This is the best animatic I have ever seen on KZbin!! Literally every scene is so well animated and drawn, the fight scenes are so fluid and dynamic and the perspectives used are out of this world!! This must have taken such an incredibly long time to do, I must imagine, with how absolutely breathtaking this entire thing is. The character designs, as well, are amazing. Absolutely fantastic!!! I hope the entire cast sees this.

The part I liked???? It never stopped! This is INSANE. Somehow every scene felt like a fresh take on the content, even if I'd seen it before. The movement was impeccable. Not overly gory but without flinching from it. The facial expressions, the FIGHT SCENES! The beautiful painting on small details like the Warden, something so full and different from the characters, the heartbeat in the dark. Just enough time to place a scene before the action happened, but it never dragged! I am begging you. On my hands and knees. For a director's commentary for this. Please.

The micro story in the three coloured drawings at the end is just the cherry on top of this masterpiece. The change from the first to second alone tells so much about the character relationships. And after watching it like five times, I am still not sure whether Etho dropped the TNT or just saw it and dipped in the third, but either way is so funny!

The scene at 0:39 is so slick, first I like so much the way you animate Tango, second it's smoother than Keany Reeve saying "you're breath-taking"! The entire sequence from 0:47 to 0:50 and after that is incredible, the explosion in three phase is *chef kiss* and the expression of joy in Jimmy and Grian face when Joel suceed is priceless! 0:53 can we talk about that sword fight please? Combat is hard to animate, and wow you did a wonderful job - and I will probably say that multiple time, just thinking about Martyn scene with a bow for exemple... The shot at 1:03 encompass perfectly Grian, the chaotic gremling relishing in explosions since day 1 (so much TNT on evo... Almost all of his pranks back then included it, and he even use to scafold using TNT the madman). I love so, so much Mumbo and the end crystal on 1:14, the piece of art in itself is amazing, and would have me gushing about it, so the fact it's just a few frame is just mind boggling. 1:17 Impulse turn to be the villain, so perfectly captured in this take, I love your rendition of the wither! 1:33 YOUR WARDEN IS AMAZING HOW WHY IT'S ONLY VISIBLE FOR A SECOND ONLY Combat so smooth at 1:34, I freacking love the transition bewteen sword and bow, then ennemies Martyn and Scott to allies with Limited Life Scott 1:40 THE WAY HE JUMP ON THE WATER fhghgh it remind me of Chihiro for some reason, I love it! Lizzie look so resolute at 1:43, and the falling Bad Boys at 1:45 are soooo cool! That ravager at 1:52 look so fluffy I wanna pet him. Danger cow here I come! The entire scene after 2:05 is just amazing, I've seen it so many times but your take is my favorite so far. THAT SHOT AT 2:10 OMG Sad boï Scott at 2:14 then happy boï Scott is everything ♥ 2:23 is just amazing, I love those three illustrations, you can feel the story telling behind it. The way Etho look up and Tango move to avoid the incomming disaster is so cool. And in the last shot Cleo doesn't even look mad or surprised for that matter, just disapointed. I can hear her sigh from here! And how could I forget Bdubs WHO NEVER STOP SMILING?! Overall it was a incredible animation, one of the best I've ever seen, and ho boï have I watched hundred of those on this fandom. Thank you so much for doing it, the joy it bring me is indescriptible! I've subscribed to you and will await more of your shared genius with anticipation :D

Thank you so much ~!!

[@mariam_uwu8310]

HOLY MOLY. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ANIMATIC I'VE SEEN OF LIFE SERIES. THIS IS SO WELL DONE OMG

[@mia-sq5sg]

I CANNOT EVEN EXPLAIN HOW SICK THIS IS THE CHARACTER DESIGNES! THE ANIMATION! THE DETAILS. THIS IS SO COOL OH MY GOSH!!! WELL DONE NOX!

[@voltsiano116]

I love Etho at the end, jumping out of frame as the bomb drops. XD And that whole sequence with the Warden and the building unease.

[@SillySyrup]

I love the detail in the image of Grian beating Scar to death. It really sets the epic tone and seriousness of the moment. Also Pearl's shocked and hurt expression, which shows her reaction to Scott dying amongst her own victory.

[@jacintacapelety9600]

This is absurdly good! The art! The expressions! The body language! The transitions! The everything! I gotta watch this like a dozen more times, cause I know there were details I missed! Also, I love how 99.99% of the art in this was absolutely pristine, and then for the moment where the desert blew up, everybody, especially Scar, just goes super cartoony. Like it's still a high quality kinda cartoony, but it's a perfect dash of tonal dissonance against the emotional drama of everything else.

[@vesperaink]

this is SO SO cool some of my favorite bits are Etho lighting up Bread Bridge, the sickest warden ever???, tango's fire hair animated SOOOOO fluidly, the transition from martyn shooting scott from last life to his last stand in limited life and the way scott's skin transitions to match it??? IS SO COOL and i love how pixely the clouds look in that shot like theyre still in minecraft SOOOO MANY of these shots made me lose my MIND i could keep going on and on but i'd be here all day! fantastic work will be in my head rent free for all eternity

[@novangstmedia1163]

THE DETAIL ON THAT WARDEN!!! I absolutely love this animatic, it feels like everytime i watch i spot something new

[@Benjago_gt]

I bet I’m not the only one who rewatched it 10 times just to see all the details. Also this song is perfect for this, and amazing!

[@TheSwanDragons]

The warden was only on-screen for a moment but that design was incredibly cool

[@SpringOfIce]

WAIT A SECONDDD !!!!! 0:55 Pearl's eyes turned into moons for a second! WHAT! THE DETAILS

[@EthaDaDaemon]

Is that from the Winners Lore?

[@SpringOfIce]

@@EthaDaDaemon Yea! Pearl is the moon, as the third winner. Nox somehow added that detail in the middle of a battle (Of course they did Nox is amazing)

[@jadevanzanden1336]

I love the flame effect for Tango's hair as well as everything, looks great and appropriate for the group.

[@bobatea-fj2cf]

0:32 to 0:41 are definitely my favorite parts. Lizzie looks so innocent and cute, and Tango looks so mischievous. YOU DID SO AMAZING ON THIS, KEEP GOING!!!!!

[@Hybridcrows]

every shot is gorgeously composed with so much thought put behind every frame- not only that but its an incredible treat to the eyes with beautiful use of perspective, blurring and camera angles! well done you've earned my sub 🎉🎉

[@megankim6900]

NO WAY. I CANT EVEN DRAW. THIS IS AWESOME. And so much hard work was put into this, and the art is incredible.

[@melon9747]

1:34 was so buttery smooth I loved the transition from the sword to the bow

[@noahsolar]

Ok this whole thing was INSANE /pos but I LOVED how detailed the crown was at the beginning! And Grian when his trap worked, loved that

[@reihino7582]

There’s so much lore in this video it’s insane!!!! I love how you blend all the life series so seamlessly together, and the four winners at the end!! Insane, in the best way

[@theamethystfairy9604]

ITS HERE! This is absolutely INCREDIBLE! The animations are so smooth, I love the bit where Jimmy slips trying to run away from the Warden with Tango, and the opening at the start with Scott burying Jimmy with the flower…and Tango dodging the arrows against the wall that was SO beautiful! All of this is beautiful! And the huge group shot at the end is so wonderful I took a screenshot and that’s gonna be my new computer background for awhile. There are just SO MANY little details you jammed in, Lizzy in the Fairy Fort and it goes up in flames, the shot of Mumbo with the end crystal, I just loved it! I’m gonna be rewatching this so so so so so many times!!!

[@lexi-bankz]

THIS IS JUST EXTRAORDINARY, MY JAW DROPPED

[@WackoJacko_1167]

I love everyone’s diffrent adaptations of tango this is definitely my favourite

[@prototypesarmy5743]

Not many people give the viewers a chance to appreciate good thumbnail art so that was truly something awesome ontop of what was already amazing!!

[@kaihuntrr]

OH MY GOD! its finally here :D

[@Ydubber777]

okay actually WHAT THE HECK THIS IS CRAZY GOOD so many epic details this is wild

[@EthaDaDaemon]

2:28 ADMIRE THIS FLIPPING MASTERPIECE, I LOVE IT

[@victornoname7269]

My favorite thing about this animation is how much fun everyone looks like they're having in it. I've watched this like a million times since I discovered it just a few days ago. It's so good!

[@arandomqueerfanpeep7655]

Christ, just about every frame of this could be a wallpaper

[@JusttheletterF...]

I loved this A LOT. My favorite moment has to be the joy in all the bad boys' eyes when they get the kills, or the showcasing of all the winners

[@JJMetaliki]

Mumbo with the end crystal designs was spooky cool. XD

[@couchycushion]

this is just BEAUTIFUL! even in flashes that are about a second, the posing and character design made all of the moments these scenes are from pop into my head instantly. (i’m also so Normal about this series so that helps) i especially love lizzie’s spin in the fairy forest, mumbo’s end crystal, and the whole ranchers’ revenge sequence (that warden is GORGEOUS), but there’s so many other little standout moments too. joel’s limlife tnt boogey to the beat, the bad boys falling, grian’s dripstone kill, lizzie’s flower crown drop on cleo, renchanting back to back, the sword fight between pearl and (cleo?). just. incredible bouncing between four series of incredible moments and not missing a beat. love this and i’m gonna go watch it 10 more times now thank u

[@FlyingJaguar2]

this was so fucking sick!! I remember seeing the tango section at 0:40 on twitter and seeing it all come together is so cool! your attention to detail as well is so perfect, you did such a good job!!

[@titouandeschamps7662]

Pearl's reaction at the end is fantastic. Love it

[@soulsquigg]

my three favourite things combined: ajr, life series and INSANELY GOOD ANIMATICS!!!

[@slaughtrrbeach]

I know nothing about the life series and don’t even watch it, but this is a BANGER

[@bravobby8773]

Nox you are one of, if not my absolute favorite life series animators. Absolutely love your style and every single one of these slaps! ❤❤ I’m so glad Scott and Jimmy know about this channel!

[@noxlotl_]

Waaaaa 🥺✨thank you so much!!

[@StormBrehm-or3wv]

The animation with Scott under the water is so insanely pretty!! This whole thing is amazing!!

[@oricalu448]

I absolutely love this! It is awesome! Your designs for each or the members, and how those designs change between series is just awesome! I think my favourite moment has to be Ren at ~1:10 doing the "bring it" gesture. It is cocky, but confident, which just encompasses Ren's entire vibe! I love it! The subtle look back at Martyn before he lunges is amazing attention to detail too! Its a look of confirmation, but also reassurance, like a "we got this" look. I adore it!

[@noxlotl_]

Thank you ! 💕✨

[@Nivas_drawings]

This is amazing

[@_saturn-fz2jh]

I think Bang is now the official song of the life series now

[@amethystianking8490]

I love tangos design. All of them are amazing, but tango with the flaming hair is awesome.

[@ItsJun1per_]

Can't stop coming back to watch this. I don't think I could count the amount of times I've seen this since it was released! All the details are too good

[@NyxianCenturius]

THIS IS SO COOL! All of their expressions are spot on and i love how it switches through the different series instead of just following a particular order. I saw the teaser on Tumblr and i was so excited to see this when it was finished and i am not disappointed at all. The timed beat of Joel pushing the tnt minecart and bang bang bang was really good. I love when videos like this do that.

[@otherworldlyhope]

I cannot get over the movements at 1:34 just wow!

[@willstewart3391]

This video was an absolute masterpiece. I am impressed more and more every time i hit that restart button The more I watch this, i think a live adaptation of at least one of the seasons would be sick af

[@micayoung5578]

this is legitimately stunning - i am scooping it up with both hands and holding it very close to my face to admire every single detail, i am in awe of the AMOUNT of detail, i am in LOVE with the angles and framing and transitions and motion... the cinnamon tography......

[@noxlotl_]

Thank youuu
