also my favorite Nut Busting Moments: - Kravitz hitting that pose on “watch your shadow” - “feel your hair grow” & arcane cosmetics - every shot with barry - when the background vocals come on and it zooms in on Lucretia - “you don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here” and istus - apparently every frame i guess - OH ALSO IT STARTING WITH LUCRETIA DROPPING THEM OFF AT THE END OF STOLEN CENTURY . BEAUTIFUL

thanks so much! you're actually one of the only people to comment on lucretia dropping them off at the beginning. it was my way of nodding to stolen century without making it the whole focus of the video.

Fairly amazing to come back and watch it again knowing what the hell is going on in it now.

@Mwuuh6 жыл бұрын
It's difficult to explain, but I'll try. First I believe it's overwhelming, seeing all these familiar scenes but in a visual format. Like, when you hear a reference to something and you're like "hey, I know what that is!" Especially overwhelming is the scene near the end, where they summon all these familiar characters like Garfield and Joaquin and Roswell, when they do the final push against the Hunger. The part of the song matched with this scene somehow makes the part of the video more intense, I suppose? It gives me a feeling of optimism, which leads to some sort of happiness. I hope that makes sense?

You're still hanging around the clambake After every clam has been baked No applause Awkward pause Hand extended waiting for a shake And when you wake up you can feel your hair grow Crawl out of your cave and you can watch your shadow Creep across the ground until the day is done All the while the planet circles 'round the sun Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it And let's get this over with Hurry up and let's get this over with You don't have to go home but you can't stay here Everybody knows how this goes so let's get over it And let's get this over with

A perfect combination of two of my favorite things, TMBG and TAZ! I haven't listened to any new TMBG songs so this is a real treat for me experiencing it through the wonderful story of TAZ Balance. Your drawings perfectly summed up the critical moments of each arch and let me experience the whole story in 3 minutes. Great drawings for everything. I really like the character choices you made. It was really cool to see renderings of extra characters like the elevator and Cassie and the multiplying electro bears. Great animatic I loved it!
