TAZ Animated - Eleventh Hour Finale

It took a while but I finally finished this thing up!
Audio and goofs and such are from The Adventure Zone Episode 49: maximumfun.org/adventure-zone/...

[@EvilOttoJrProductions]

"Tell me I made Refuge safe." i'm not crying you're crying

[@i_play_drums_and_guitar8078]

Aaaaaahh I love Roswell

[@spicemoss]

I absolutely live for moments where Justin makes it seem like Taako's about to make a wrong choice out of pure incompetence, almost out of spite, but ends up going, "I _guess_ I won't doom the town again, whatevs."

[@YorkJonhson]

The Della Reese moment made me laugh more than it should have.

[@milkcappy2897]

IM CACKLING WHEN HE SUMMONED DELLA REESE I LOST IT

[@ash-tv3bu]

I love the momma worms little happy wiggle when she saw her babies

[@mercury5856]

yo this whole thing rocked my socks, but I actually bust out laughing at Taako and Magnus's expressions on "That's - Dumb" "IT'LL BE GREAT." Followed immediately by Della Reese "This feels right" This whole thing was fantastic

[@JulesJuno737]

Would you believe me if I told you that this actually clarified the movements of the end of the campaign? I also pretty much picture Taako flipping off things that make him expend effort with spells a lot, it is canon. Great music. Just great jorb!

[@gigitheskeleton6202]

So that worm would be one of them?

[@737215]

JYORB

[@LexyconDevil]

5:34 Just as I was impressed by the sheer amount of work you did, you done made me laugh with Della Reese. Really awesome job!

[@ZombifiedMira]

Holy shit this is AMAZING. When the latter music began it made everything so much more intense and dang this animatic was amazing, it made me really imagine how it would be like as a real life TV show gosh

[@magicman9218]

Ennio morricone makes everything better

[@lobster9059]

well good news lmao

[@Drowninginantimatter]

holy fucking istus this is good! It's all so well put together and the expression on Roswell's bird at 4:27 is the funniest thing I've seen all week

[@JW-lf6wr]

THIS IS SO GREAT Describing and narrating this scene in the podcast was long because it's a audio-based medium, but when you take out all the questions and the dice-rolling, this is what the whole sequence turned out to be (if it was a visual medium) At least, it's what I always imagined it to be. And you captured it so perfectly! Every choice or roll the boys made, every failed attempt, every miss, you depicted every little detail, which I love. And their expressions are so expressive, especially the part when Taako's being a little shit about 'hmmm left or right' and everyone else is losing their minds collectively->GOLD. And the part with Roswell is epic as hell. You did an amazing job!!

[@TheSydnick]

this is GOLD holy shit, serious respect to you for animating such a long and complicated sequence

[@MooseEatsBears]

TheSydnick more like Ecstacy of Gold, am I right?

[@TheSydnick]

ayyyyy!!!!!!!

[@theslowpokegamer334]

For me, I realize in-fact that up to this point in their journey, this was the strongest relic they ever faced. The fact that they came out of this really untouched must have been amazing to them. But I mean we find out why it later! 😉

[@Xentrafer]

The music towards the end is actually so intense and epic love this

[@zoraluigi]

"The Ecstasy of Gold" by Ennio Morricone from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

[@willduderino6130]

When roswell walked to the lever I imagined him wearing heeleys and now I cant stop thinking about it. Its so perfect

[@nerdpiggy]

Holy fucking shit. The amount of hard work you put into this is absolutely unbelievable. This was really well done.

[@Wrydryn]

The love you put into this animation really shows. Between editing the narration out to the music selection and even with some of the smaller details. I only wish you left Travis losing his shit over Taako taking his time. The last scene with Roswell sent a chill down my spine as well. 11/10

[@mahlon2477]

THIS WAS SO GOOD BUT IM LAUGHING SO HARD AT THE DELLA REESE PART

[@juneBug412]

holy cow this animatic was epic! freakin' loved mag's face at 3:38.

[@MakinPeaceWithPieces]

GREAT JOB!! Way to stick to it for the whole scene. It's so emotionally charged; had me laughing and crying nearly the whole way through. Massive props to you for such a wonderful visual contribution to the fandom.

[@laurenmiller5784]

Coming back to this after re-listening to TAZ years later. Your animations, character faces, editing, everything! You got every good bit from this and condensed it into a mini movie. I laughed, I cried. I was the good, the bad, and the ugly. You stayed so true to their characters in every second. This is a work of art and I love it.

[@darmocat]

This has convinced me that I need to go back and re listen to the 11th Hour. Thank you! This was amazing

[@pbgandie]

Excellent, excellent work. My favorite part was the expressions at 5:46.

[@sinikkaparton]

Holy shit, this is great! I just recently started listening to TAZ, and I'm completely obsessed. However, I always find it kind of difficult to focus during purely actionbased scenes, like this one and the race in petals to the metal - so thank you for this animation! I really got the full feel for it now

[@doodlebug4209]

This is the best animatic I've ever seen of TAZ! I nearly fell out of my seat laughing with the Della Reese scene! Keep up the amazing work!

[@brightey3s231]

This was seriously incredible, like an animated short film. You have a ton of talent!

[@cubalayabandit5591]

UHHH . . . This is literally the best animatic I haven't freaking ever seen. This is so cool! You did just a phenomenal job

[@KefkaJr]

Yo, I'm sorry, is that ECSTACY OF GOLD from The Good, the Bad & the Ugly?

[@CameronWoodard]

Yuppers!

[@KefkaJr]

What a good damn choice

[@magicman9218]

Ennio morricone makes everything better

[@c1nnamodoll]

the part where taako tells ros he made refuge safe gives me chills every time I so much as THINK about it :,(( i love the adventure zone

[@carolinea3899]

OH MY GOODNESS THE AMOUNT OF WORK YOU PUT INTO THIS!!! I AM SO IMPRESSED!!! GOOD GOOD GOOD GOOOOD JOB!!!! I laughed out loud MULTIPLE TIMES but you also reminded me of how epic and good this part was so THANK YOU. This is so incredible.

[@BenficaFem]

This is my favourite TAZ naimation, ever. Everytime I relisten to The Eleventh Hour I always imagine this.

[@murmurgamy]

what the absolute fuck... the sense of urgency & speed, the voice editing, the music!!!!!!! actually spilled a tear when roswell jumped. AMAZING work

[@ericwarren9138]

This is honestly the most amazing thing I've seen all year. You're so good at like evoking tone and emotion,like my heart at the 'made refuge safe' bit💖💖💖💖. Just wow

[@salemwhite2446]

This. Was. Beautiful.

[@sewingneedles]

Ummm, thank you for making this and for the honor of letting me watch.

[@_The_Dumbass_]

you just animated one of the best scenes in one of the best podcasts, and i honestly loved the cuts of audio to make it seem more intense or funny in different places, and the music was amazing

[@olliespillers3952]

hey my man, this is actually incredible!! you must have had SO MUCH work to do, and you didn't half-ass it at all?? like how?!?!!!!???! keep up the good work my home skeet

[@gung-hopotato37]

I frickin love your inclusion of The Good The Bad and the Ugly soundtrack. Absolutely poggers.

[@mermaidfinn]

the bass drop of ataraxia with the emergence of the wyrm MADE ME GO WILD

[@statelyelms]

Yknow. TBH at the beginning I was expecting a lovingly made but eh animation because it's fucking seven minutes long and for one person making a super quality animation that long some stuff gotta be ramped down. But then, the cowboy music blaring, and the emotions, and the climax... this is the best god damn TAZ animation I have ever seen

[@gigigirl281]

THIS IS INCREDIBLE, HOLY COW!!!!! I am in awe, this is so amazing...thank you so much for making this!

[@themonsterghosts]

this is incredible! I had so much fun watching it and it really does the scene justice!!!

[@e7ebags569]

the amount of work you put into this is amazing! I especially love the ending! aa this is so great, the eleventh hour is my favourite arc and you totally did this scene justice! good work!!

[@teo3066]

Alright, awesome animation, truly excellent, but I just need to say this. The way you animated he purple worm was great and basically just how Griffin imagined it, but god damn if that isn't the worst version of a purple worm that I've ever seen Size, threat, ferocity, behavior; all on point, basically a purple worm, but after that well... Tentacles? Wouldn't their ridiculous amount of teeth cut those of after a while? Fireball? Nope! Why would anything that size need to rely on magic to catch and kill prey anyway? Eyes? And a lot of them too? Pretty sure they have tremor sense. Besides, no light would reach into solid earth where they dig and hunt. Thank you for coming to my Ted Vent

[@Strix182]

... HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING! I really love how you portrayed and animated the worm. You did an awesome job with the battle choreography. Bravo sir.

[@PixelyCeluloide]

I've just finshed the eleventh hour arc and I must say this is BEYOND excellente. Great job.

[@papusman]

Listening through TAZ for the first time, watching animatics as I go, and boy howdy this is a great one. you made a lot of great choices, editing-wise. Stellar work, man. I legit got teary-eyed. Thanks for this.

[@hetaliaroxmysox]

This is really incredible, oh my god! This clearly took a lot of work and it turned out completely fantastic!!!!

[@beeboydraws9655]

So much respect dude, amazing work!

[@GippyHappy]

This is so very good and I love your taako design

[@mattbrady2011]

wow dude, that was epic. This must have taken you forever to do. Its so well done. 10/10 friend good job.

[@hannahhimes5062]

Beautiful job, absolute chills the whole time. The scoring and timing was very nice 👌🏻👌🏻😩

[@Rehlaris]

This is amazingly cool! Seriously, you'll be the coolest animator of them all someday!

[@tangally]

Because of this animatic I’ve legit added the ecstasy of gold to my TAZ music playlist. Amazing stuff 🙂

[@SymBatAnimations]

Oh dang, the good bad and ugly music near the end!!! XD Loved it!!!! XD

[@bekahpar-lar8549]

This is insanely good holy cow¬`` I love the use of Ecstacy of Gold as well, i nearly teared up

[@starwyvern010]

Oh wow!! I'm way behind on TAZ so I just got through this bit recently, and you did a fantastic job with this video! The music you chose was perfect too. Awesome stuff!!

[@DerpyHDoo]

This is amazing and adorable and great, I just finished the 11th hour arc for the first time yesterday (bit late) so this is really cool

[@taakofromtv150]

You know what I’m gonna come back to this when I’ve finished this part of the balance arc

[@osango310]

Red robe at the end = chef kiss

[@mibstervonmib]

loved the music that went with this. Felt a lot of emotion when roswell jumped off to expand and saved them :)

[@JasonLihani]

Hahaha this is perfect. The fucking robot arms got me. Also I'm so happy you used Ecstacy of Gold because that was playing in my head for basically the whole campaign.

[@VermisTerrae]

Even though I knew what was going to happen, I was still on the edge of my seat. This is phenomenal!!

[@JadeXHarley]

this is really good!! I'm surprised you managed to animate the whole thing!

[@emilymary5831]

That was Amazing and beautiful! Great job!

[@refgemlin7492]

Fantastic video. You caught the action of that final episode wonderfully. Well done indeed! :)

[@rocket9595]

This is so incredible and hella impressive

[@henchchiru1036]

One of the very best animatics ive seen, seriously

[@Blaybay123]

Omg this is amazing! I especially loved the Della Reese scene!

[@Kavukamari]

[@rbruce0123]

That was fantastic! Loved watching it!

[@spyrolad]

listened to this episode yesterday! this is perfect! would love to see a version with sound effects!

[@JadeXHarley]

when he stuck the chance lance in the ceiling and recalled it, it went through one of the worm's tentacles and cut it off

[@fio.laleona]

Holy shit my man that's some goddamn animation right there, hardcore props to you

[@BacchusDiem]

AAAAA THIS WAS SO GOOD

[@teawithdragons7047]

This is so good!!!

[@Sco6014]

Wow there's a lot of animation in this you must've put in a lot of work and it shows! great job. the Della Reese part was great I laughed out loud!

[@dontworryaboutit3471]

That ending was so ominous thank you

[@Kelpork]

That tracking shot with Magnus shooting the arrow was awesome

[@sand__witch]

This is the capital G, capital S...no, actually, this is the all caps GOOD SHIT. Definitely in my top 5 favourite animatics of all times. The scene was already tense and badass enough with the talking, and the edited audio just convinced me that what we truly need is a TAZ cartoon.

[@jordigan6060]

Damn. This right here is legit. Excellent work.

[@obsidianthe7th]

The wyrm celebration was amazing

[@EmilyHoot]

THIS IS SUPER COOL AND WELL DONE

[@TaliaTheHybrid]

The Adventure Zone where they can make you cry even over the death of a golem/homunculus

[@Creepy-Rat]

[@unclenocturnal6148]
