Pompeii | taz Animatic/wip

[@pallasnelli1091]

Whoa I got actual chills when magnus Merle and takko appeared on screen to “almost seems like nothing changed all” good job

[@duceemia]

I also definitely thought this whole animatic was gonna be about the year Lucretia spent alone and I was not prepared for it.

[@browniefox7218]

Like freaking god dammit if anything ever needed more notes it is this. This is so beautiful, transitions so stunning, the story just ugh wow this ah so amazjnggggg

[@sealbatross]

thank you (*´∀｀*)

[@GraeStar]

Oh man, this is so great. My favorite parts are when the seven planes turn into the relics and the end when it shows the three boys fighting the hunger. This is amazing.

[@sealbatross]

I'm so happy you think so! Those are the parts that make me cringe the least ;)

[@imperfecteclipse]

I can't wait to see the finished version! You're so skilled! This is looking incredible!

[@ThorneDarkrose14]

This is amazing. I love how you used them sinking underwater to represent their memories being erased. Then Barry falling through it into his lich form. Truly my favorite part from this.

[@duceemia]

You have killed me with feels congrats

[@samg5601]

Oh???? My god??? This might be, no word of lie, the best TAZ animatic I’ve ever seen?? There were a few moments that I found myself surprised even though I knew what was going to happen?? Amazing job!!! Oh my god!!

[@sealbatross]

Ahhh thank you! All I ever see is mistakes so it's really nice knowing you like it so much!

[@mechaddict94]

>69 likes >nice. seriously though this looks so amazing, there are so many RAW shots in there that take an axe to my heart. I really hope you keep working on it coz I'd love to see a finished product!!!

[@diddlysquash]

Okay WOW. This is PERFECT. The story beats, the transitions, the framing, even though it is still a work in progress it was sooooo evocative and emotional and wonderful to watch. You have a real knack for this and I am so happy I found this video! Lucretia is one of my favorite characters and you’ve done her justice here. I can’t believe I never realized how perfect this song is for TAZ and Lucretia especially? Adding it to my TAZ playlist.

[@emilyharkness9685]

Yes. Just yes to everything you said.

[@rhinocio]

This is INCREDIBLY ambitious, holy heckie!!! I got chills watching it, and I'm blown away by all the different camera angles and dynamic movements. There were so many gorgeous metaphorical animations in there -- everyone drowning in the voidfish water but then Barry falling through it as a lich was especially clever. The intro scene with the circle-round of everyone was so gorgeous!!! I'm so delighted to have seen this, and really hope to see this fully realized! You're doing amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@sealbatross]

Awww I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Yeah if that beginning part ever gets animated it'll be taking a whole lotta effort! No problemo, thanks for the wonderful comment!

[@irbsandcheese]

This is absolutely amazing and already gives mad FEELS. Looking forward to seeing a finished version

[@colettesheaff4180]

I've been thinking about this song and Balance since I finished listening to Stolen Century and you literally took the shots right out of my mind's eye!!! So good!!!!!!

[@sealbatross]

Thank you! That's so cool :D

[@ikiteru]

This summer I started and finished Balance. It made me ugly cry. I started digging through the internet for animatics and videos about these nerds. For some reason this was never shown to me and that’s a failure on KZbin’s part. This is WILD, Jesus you have put so much work and effort into this. I don’t know if you’re still working on it or not but either way thank you so much for sharing what you have here

[@sealbatross]

Thank you for all the kind words! I'm not making any promises since there are so many different things I want to do, but by God, thank you for making my day! (And THAT ENDING made me cry more times than any other piece of media I've experienced. Balance is such a beautiful story!!)

[@RuffTranslation]

WOW this song is a perfect fit!! Even with so many rough outlines this is so evocative. Brilliant.

[@katherinehanssler226]

Taako’s blank expression as he sinks into the water at 1:32 hit me like a truck

[@crityu1048]

I screamed a bit when I found this??? Your expressions are marvelous and your character interactions made me sob like a dying giraffe oh my goD.

[@sealbatross]

ohno i want to draw a dying giraffe now :O whathaveyoudone (and thankyou!!)

[@croctocto]

This is so good?? The pacing and the storytelling you've managed to give is incredible??? Starting off with Lucretia becoming Madame Director and then TELLING the story of Madame Director?? Is incredible???? Even if you never finish this I'm so glad you posted even a rough animatic (which can I just say, has some incredible bits of animation in it??? Oh my goodness??). I'm rambling a bit, but this is just!! Incredible!!!! Wow!!!

[@sealbatross]

OMG thank you! I'm so glad this is worth the ramble! And thank you for taking the time to comment, you've made my day :)

[@croctocto]

@@sealbatross This animatic has lived in my head rent free for the past 4+ years, I'm relistening to TAZ balance rn with a friend and cannot WAIT to show them this animatic when we finish!! (The shot of Lup around 1:34 is just incredible, it itches something in my brain just right!!)

[@sealbatross]

@@croctocto omg I haven't thought about this in so long, hafta relisten to TAZ sometime! so happy you like that shot it's my fav too :)

[@melgna23melgna]

This is so beautiful and wonderful. I really hope you finish it someday; your choices with closeups and the angles you chose for different scenes etc, coupled with your amazing artistic talent and choice in music (and how the scenes hit the beat), are absolutely fantastic. I hope you finish someday!!

[@sealbatross]

Oh my gosh thank you! I'm glad you like it all those things about it, makes me real happy! And I'm right there with you on that hope train ;)

[@biancasales7041]

I have no idea who those characters are but this w.i.p is amazing! The transitions and the movements of the characters are amazing!

[@trickery2268]

Holy shit, this is truly gorgeous. I absolutely adore the composition and choice of scenes you chose to match each beat. I would love to see this cleaned up a little more,because it's clear you have a lot of talent.

[@nightsocoolioyep7663]

The roughness is here but the creativity of the visuals and the expressions alone more than make up for it, this is fucking fantastic

[@soren2183]

Holy shit this needs more views this is amazing and I hope it becomes a complete finished animation cuz I bet it'll be absolutely stunning when completed.

[@sealbatross]

im so happy you like it! im working on a lot of other stuff atm but definitely someday >:D

[@soren2183]

sealbatross I'm really glad you're planning on finishing it, also wasn't trying to pressure you to get it done fast I know it's probably time consuming as hell, I just see a lot of unfinished animatics on KZbin and I really love this it's honestly one of my favorites and it would be so cool to see it finished.

[@sealbatross]

@@soren2183 dw i understand, its just that seeing someone else pumped about it makes me want to work on it haha. Yeah, hafta agree, that would be universe if everyone could produce finished animations all the time... scarcity does make the ones that do more exciting though XD

[@june8791]

i've seen a lot of animatics, but this has to be one of the best ones out there. the composition and timing are so good! its incredibly interesting to see unique transiotions and camera angles. I absolutely love all the little details and just "neat" things in this, davenports head tilt in the beginning, lucretias expressions, how everything syncs up with the lyrics and especially the water and the drowning as a metaphor for the voidfish, and how everything just flows really well :D TL;DR: You created something amazing and I just wanted to let you know that you made a TAZ fan really happy ^^

[@sealbatross]

Awww thank you so much! It makes my tiny heart glad that dramatic camera angles and overthinking things are appreciated :)

[@toofewtrueblue5818]

This is absolutely amazing, the song is perfect and you tell the story so well! Just beautifully done

[@sealbatross]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed
