TAZ- Amnesty- The Worst Lie (Rough Story Board)

From the Amnesty Arc Episode 10.
Duck Newton tries to convince Pigeon to shut down the water park.
I did all this straight-ahead in like 2 hours, so they're not the most consistent character designs. Was fun though. This is like somewhere between a animatic and a story board I think.

[@cjboyo]

I love how Duck's lies always start reasonable, and then someone breathes on them and they come crashing down

[@-Commit-arson-]

Like a house of cards made out of toilet paper

[@polarzero4593]

“i used to play a character that was very good at lying. i want to play one that’s very bad” now he plays a character incapable of lying.

[@kalonZombie]

The saddest part is I think this is probably the best lie Duck has ever told in his life.

[@jjjm7322]

kalonZombie nah remember the one about the secret weed farm?

[@latrodectahespara2728]

Panning the camera over to Pigeon while Duck continues to talk, and having her completely stonefaced, is an EXTREMELY good choice

[@Romanticoutlaw]

my favorite part is when duck's first lie breaks down, and he acts like he's coming clean... and then just launches into an even more insane lie

[@kitzuneluna]

god the way he lies makes it sound like hes filling in a mad libs and i fuckin love it

[@MichaelWacht]

I can *feel* the discomfort. Great expressions. Also, nice bird.

[@AllegoricSiren]

Duck’s lies are the highlight of my life.

[@mythman30]

i love this btw. every scene that duck lies is incredible.

[@seaspider]

They're always needlessly elaborate lies too

[@kingalfred2014]

@@seaspider It's true to life though; a lot of bad liars think that a more specific lie is a more believable lie, but they forget that the more details they fabricate, the more things they need to remember.

[@FrogworfKnight]

@@kingalfred2014 To be honest, he could have saved it if he said "We are trying to simulate drought conditions, when the reservoir wouldn't be able to give us as much help and when we would normally be at the most risk at forest fires."

[@if7723]

@@FrogworfKnight He could have saved it by just not going on. He's a civil authority figure who she personally has a debt to, the lie doesn't need to be that intricate.

[@statelyelms]

I love how Justin was like "I want to play a character who is bad at lying", took that and fucking NAILED EVERY SINGLE OPPERTUNITY. Every single time Duck lies I remember it crashing and burning in such a realistic way.

[@cartersmith6628]

I love how Pidgin seemed like a typical backcountry bumpkin in episode one but quickly becomes a lot more capable and adult every time we see her. I wish they’d include her more in the story

[@gliscorpropagandaaccount1764]

She'll probably join the Pine Guard on a Lunar Interlude without much else happening with Duck.

I love how justin went from pro lying character to has a hard time lying to quite literally can not lie

Clint being unable to contain himself is too good.

Haha remember the good old days when pigeon had done absolutely nothing wrong

Duck lies just take a year off of me thEY ARE JUST THAT BAD

[@Companion92]

Duck lying really bad was one of my fave things about Amnesty

[@lerualnaej5917]

Holy shit I need more animatics of Duck lying thank you so much

Pidgeon's face at 2:11 gives me Life

Every Duck lying bit is perfect.

[@cubalayabandit5591]

So good. You really captured his desperation

[@MysticSybil]

Pffff the faces make this so much better xD I love Duck

[@sofialaya596]

Justin really likes characters that are bad at lying.

[@julieobrecht1131]

Pigeon's facial expressions cracked me up

[@ChoralAlchemist]

Pigeon’s face at 2:12 is giving me life.

2:14 What a top tier expression

[@Wargames50]

He looks SO UNCOMFORTABLE telling that lie XD You did an amazing job getting across just how BAD Duck is at this, A+ work!

[@sewingneedles]

God. I forgot abt this scene I love it

I LOVE this art style

[@17kiranime]

That was great! But WHAT HAPPENED?!? I was into it & the result was cut short! T_T

[@happenedbychance3392]

As an animator -sorry this is kind of late- she could have been really tired and had to limit herself. Idk just a thought.

[@gabrielarnaud7898]

Hey, need to say. You’re great. That was badunculous ! (I’m not sure if this is a word but that is what that was)

[@HashbrwnWarrior]

I felt this SO HARD!

I have only just now seen this, but OP, I need to tell you it's still so good.
