Ship in a Bottle | The Magnus Archives Animatic

Hi I am back from the dead after 7 long, long months! This was supposed to take two months max but ended up taking the better half of a year instead, but what can ya do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is the longest project that I've ever worked on and, though I can't say I'm completely happy with it, I'm just really relieved that it's finally done. That being said, PLEASE slap some sense into me if I ever even think about doing anything like this again. PLEASE. I love the ideas my brain provides but this was just...too much...(I did really enjoy watching the final product though)
P.S. I just wanted to clarify that a lot of scenes that occur in this animatic are not chronological. There were some scenes that were kinda difficult to work with and I just wanted a good narrative flow that goes with the song ok
Thank you to Emily for hearing me out while I ranted about this animatic. I don't think this would have existed without ya

I've always thought of the Lonely as a metafor for depression - you don't even need to be alone, the feeling of isolation is enough. But it's not always indifference and emptiness - sometimes it's a storm and a fight for control in one's life and no one on the deck who can help. I also really liked how you did the waves! Such a good work!

[@bassacaglia9434]

Thank you! Martin being alone on the ship as a metaphor for his struggle against The Lonely was one of the very first concepts I thought of for this animatic, and I’m glad that this idea stuck around after all these months! I’m really happy that you enjoyed the animatic ❤️

[@gibbcharron3469]

@@bassacaglia9434 Aye, that was a great choice! Plus it unlocked a secondary metaphor with the wisps of fog swirling around Martin/Peter Lukas being appropriate both to The Lonely and to a nautical environment.

[@dekustaz6346]

It does help me cope with the pandemic thinking it's just one massive ritual of the Lonely. If I'm going to suffer I'd at least like it to be feeding a dread power. (Also BEAUTIFUL art btw. One of the BEST MAG animatics out there)

I heard this song a couple months ago and immediately thought of the tma connection!! You delivered it so well!!

[@bassacaglia9434]

Yesss I’m glad that I’m the only one! I heard this song late one night last summer and immediately thought it had big Martin energy

[@Marchchio]

That moment with The Buried and all of the tapes was perfect. This whole thing is gorgeous ♥️

[@winter_rain14]

I saw this animatic because my sister recommended the song to me. It was what first got me into the Magnus archives, and I’m now listening to season five. I came back and rewatched this video today, and I now understand everything and it’s absolutely beautiful. I can’t even describe how much i love this. Thank you so much for introducing me to TMA and for this incredible art.

[@angelofmusic1992]

Clicked on this so fast, I love this song. Love the bit where Martin finds the coffin and it flickers back to when Jon was in a coma, literally made me gasp

[@Kahnah23]

How amazing!!! I love season 4 and this song works so amazingly? I really fell in love with it, I'm gonna listen to it all day, haha. Great video, I already know I'm gonna come back to this a lot!

[@preranachowdhury1529]

I have been seeing this video constantly. It's so beautifully done. Everything fits in just right. I have literally no words I'M IN LOVE with this. It's art

[@larsmeridian4312]

This is incredible!! :D Time well spent! Everything moves so well and the emotion is on point! :D

The moment where Martin is in his office alone and the ship is in the portrait on the wall, but after Jon is left standing in there by himself the ship is gone and all that’s left in the painting is the waves... that’s brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I love this whole animatic and you’ve made such incredible connections and art.

[@atlasofgalaxies]

my jaw dropped at 3:10 with the coma/buried parallels,,, god this was fantastic and you packed so much detail in! utterly wonderful work

''Life is like an elevator. In happy moments it goes up, when you're in bad moments it goes down. Depression is when you're trapped at the basement, and when you try to call the maintenance guy, you realize YOU'RE the maintenance guy''. -Bref, episode 80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqjJqKCuhKuSaac Idk, it made me think of that quote

[@cydude5856]

I made a simple connection seeing the end of this animatic. It's fitting that The Archivist, the one with the power to see all is the one that helps Martin finally feel seen.

[@erinmahrer2899]

This was so beautiful, I loved the web references with the string binding him to the steering wheel, and especially the incredible ocean you drew. Outstanding

[@phishfullofasha]

I love the coffin changing into the bed and back, it reminds you that from Martin's perspective it was extremely likely Jon would die

[@achnav3762]

That was amazing! Congratulations! We can really feel Martin's headspace in your illustrations! And the allegory of the ship in a bottle is perfect for the circumstances. (I loved how even when he's in the "real world", there is still a picture of a boat in his office) And everything, from the grief or Tim and Sasha, then their photo floating in the sea with only Martin visible, to the tomb (of his mother I guess) and then the parallel between the hospital bed and the coffin, emphasizing how much Martin was scared to loose Jon AGAIN, ... *chef kiss*

[@bassacaglia9434]

Oh gosh thank you so much!! You have no idea how happy I get when people pick out all the little things I put in the animatic

[@miracae5623]

[@professionaldonutmaker9489]

I don't know anything about the Magnus Archives franchise however this animatic alone is making me want to dive in with such excitement as to who these characters are. I'm in love with your style!!!

[@brandy3498]

GOD THIS AMAZING WHAT THE- THIS BROUGHT ME TO TEARS, THE ART, THE PARALLELS, THE EDITING, ITS ALL JUST SO PERFECT. This is seriously one of my favorite TMA animatics out there now. The song you chose was perfect and everything just fit so smoothly.

[@CorvidCastle]

ok this whole thing is gorgeous and heartbreaking but i *really* love how you drew the waves-- there's a real sense of movement there despite the fact that all we're seeing is still frames, it's really impressive

[@godderogatory4067]

I quite literally gasped when I saw this pop up in my recommended feed! I love this song and TMA so much and the way you drew this is literally stunning. I love the focus placed on Martin's eyes/vision throughout, your drawings of the ocean are so well done, and every single frame in this is genuinely a masterpiece. This is genuinely probably my favourite animatic, not just for TMA, and I will be rewatching it a ton because I think it's utterly brilliant!

[@vanessa2603__]

Hi just wanted to say I loved what you did with Martin's eyes! At the beginning his eyes looked so vibrant compared to the rest that I actually predicted the greying eyes change back to blue at the "I see you" part!!!! All of the details in this video are immaculate

[@bassacaglia9434]

Thank you so much! I believe you’re the first person to comment on this detail haha

[@jas9533]

[@radiantmists5217]

This animatic is absolutely gorgeous-- the ship/ocean scenes are incredibly impressive, and I love all the detail in the way you draw all the characters as well as just the way the lonely looks curling around Martin. It's also incredibly impressive thematically, the song really works for this and the flashing between the coma and the coffin was perfect, especially that moment where Martin is kneeling in front of the coffin with the recorders almost as though he's praying. Just amazing! (also this is yet another awesome song ive discovered through tma animatics so thank u)

Thank you for your words of appreciation!!

You can fit everything you know In a bottle for you to show Pick your brain apart and put it in (pick your brain apart) And build it again With needles and pins Everything you have earned is a ship With blue waves crashing into it But nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore (nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore) With your glass ceiling, walls, and floor Sailing on a ship in a bottle Anchor all your thoughts to the bottom Pulling ropes and pulling your head back To see what is breaking the foremast You set sail alone there is no crew No one on the deck who can help you This is all your own battle to win This is your ship and you are the captain Oh, captain, let's make a deal Where we both say the things that we both really feel I feel scared and I'm starting to sink And I only sink deeper the deeper I think Oh, captain Oh, captain, deal Oh, captain deal Oh, captain deal Oh woah There are red spots under your eyes From when you cry Into the sky Ocean waters rising above your neck, mmm You feel the glass Start to crack Sailing on a ship in a bottle Water's leaking through holes in the bottom Flying flags of ships that have long since Sat at the floor of the sea, but in defense You set sail alone there is no crew No one on the deck who can help you This is all your own battle to win This is your ship and you are the captain Oh, captain, let's make a deal Where we both say the things that we both really feel I feel scared and I'm starting to sink And I only sink deeper the deeper I think Oh, captain, make up your mind Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time 'cause you're popping the cork You get lost in your brain And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane Oh, captain Oh, captain, deal Oh, captain deal Oh, captain deal Oh woah Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh, captain, let's make a deal Where we both say the things that we both really feel I feel scared and I'm starting to sink And I only sink deeper the deeper I think Oh, captain, make up your mind Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time 'cause you're popping the cork You get lost in your brain And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane Oh, captain Oh, captain, deal Oh, captain deal Oh, captain deal Oh woah Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh

[@mes6672]

HOLY SHIT!!! This is incredible! this was just in my recommend and I'm so glad i saw it... I’m SO impressed that all of this is in color and every panel is so detailed … amazing job! Fav bits: - The picture at the beginning ... I will never not be sad when someone draws parallels with s1 archives gang to how things turn out later - The entire first part where Martin is on the boat is SO well done? Those juicy juicy water physics … when I was first watching it I was like yup that’s a cool action packed boat scene :) but actually it takes so much work to draw a scene like that well... with having both the boat itself and the movement/appearance of the water look so good…mad kudos to you. (The frame at 1:58 also looks very nice I just love when people capture the foaminess of water like that lol) - Going off that, the background work in all the frames (like in the archives etc) is also really well done! and the way you structured/transitioned/edited everything just looks so good - even the contrast between Melanie getting support/help from Georgie and Martin going off on his own...oof - AT 3:10 … THE PARALLEL WITH JON IN THE COFFIN AND IN THE COMA? HELP thats so clever! I got chills at that bit it totally took me by surprise - I know this is a Martin centric vid but I love how you draw Jon…pretty jon rights (I want to give him a hug) - Peter Lukas dissolving into the Lonely when Jon Sees him is very satisfying, I really liked those frames! and how you drew the fog in general Anyways, this was super well executed and I really enjoyed watching it! Thank you for sharing!

[@bassacaglia9434]

Thank you🥺🥺🥺 Gosh I love it when people point out all the little details and the parts they enjoyed. It just makes your work feel that much more appreciated❤️ Also I tried to make Jon look as good as I could with all the art skills I could muster. Just because you’re rescuing your beloved from The Lonely doesn’t mean you have to do it without style ;)))

PLS i was watching this to take a quick break from homework and ended up bawling my eyes out, this was too good 😭😭😭

[@rorygiambalvo2955]

Holy....Just this is azing. The song is a perfect choice, Martin fighting for control internally/mentally and then how that manifests in his daily life. This whole season was so rough for him. I love all the fog effects and how you drew Peter and his confrontation with Jon.

There aren't enough words to articulate how _good_ it is.
