The bureau of balance - a taz animatic

This video got cropped kind of ugly and is a bit too sloppy for my taste here and there. But overall I'm pretty happy with it! I just wanted to make something with this song and Lurcretia and the BOB was the first thing to pop up in my mind when listening to it! So yeah, I hope you like it!
The song is called Misery fell by Tally hall.
Programs used: Paint tool sai, Imovie.

This is wonderful bc it tackles Lucretia's journey in a way that's not entirely sad, but happy too? Most other people don't address the hopeful things too - building a community and a home for herself, saving the world, seeing her friends again after ten years - and that makes me happy. Lucretia is so good and this is so, so good.

[@zesty5890]

How dare you murder then resurrect me immediately

[@Emiltee]

This is so wholesome? Like, Davenport getting Lucretia to smile, and the whole focus on Lucretia building the bob and then the thb sort of blending in to this huge friend group Lucretias made is 👍👍👍

[@generallysorry1589]

Ok, so a couple of things I love from this. 1. Showing all of the IPRE before the wipe and then after in tune with the beat. 2. The directors look of happiness after they leave her office for the first time.

[@just-bee-lieve]

tally hall AND taz??? INSTANT LOVE

[@abby-zg4rq]

A-damn • moooooood

[@Fawstah]

I knew I found mind people in this community!

[@Omahdon]

Ahhhh this is so sad but happy but sad but HAPPY BUT SAD BUT HAP--SAAAAAAAAAAAAD D8

[@the_wizard22]

Omahdon omahdon you like TAZ?!??

[@kittenkraze13]

I saw on your tumblr that you're only 17 and you're making these... I'm so impressed! Keep on doing this kind of thing and you'll have one really impressive portfolio.

[@flourisaspice3720]

I love this SO MUCH. A lot of the fandom focus on the angst but also forgets that the tone of almost the entire show is humorous, but you really captured the happier side of taz as well as the angsty side and you did it so beautifully. I love this animatic so much, thank you for sharing your talent!

[@Providence83]

What the fuck?! I never NEVER expected there to be this crossover between TAZ and Tally Hall! My mind is blown right now!

[@cartersmith6628]

I love how this implies that Davenport was a supportive and helpful friend even after his mind was erased instead of just becoming Lucretia’s mindless sidekick. And this was a man who was so deeply tied to his mission that Lucretia had to erase everything but his name yet his love for his friends somehow lied even deeper than that.

[@yaphetgreen0222]

~first thing they do is to substitute pleasure for pain~

[@euseevius8180]

half of me: this is gorgeous and emotional and just a very very good video the other half of me: wow i'm real gay for this lucretia design

[@sand__witch]

i love her??? so much??? please let her be happy? i'm absolutely adopting the headcanon that she shaved her head after wiping their memories, also when davenport made her smile? you can see she feels horrible and guilty but she's also glad that he's somewhat happier now? when she looked over the moonbase and she looked so proud of her new home? that lil excited bounce? how it switches from her looking sad about losing her family to the new family she found in the bob? how she couldn't contain her happiness anymore and started laughing after the thb left? she's been through so much and i want to hug her and i want her to have some love and joy in her life is that too much to ask? and the transition from madam director looking peacefully at her base to lucretia looking terrified at the looming hunger snapped me in half like a dry twig YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT plus i adore how you included the scenes from all the lunar interludes. the spa scene is really cute, especially because, again, LUCRETIA GETS SOME REST. magnus with his fried unicorn dick? carey telling magnus about her crush? mmm that's the good shit. ango learning transmutation? hell. yeah. pringles??? PRINGLES HANGING OUT WITH GARFIELD??? lov. (i have only one complaint here though, pringles is canonically a halfling). also, johann. jooohaaaann. he's smiling. i'm dying please give him more reasons to smile i love him??? with all my heart?? and was that a lil implied johavi because fuck mE UP. plus i'm very glad to see leon calm and happy again because fuck this man really needs a break

[@carteroverley6008]

oh this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its so good!!!!! i love how you drew lucretia and how she shaved her hair as part of her new identity. and also the carey/killian frame and the avi/johann frame were choice as hell. thank you so much for creating this!!

[@pavlovfrog4055]

WHHHOOOO BABY- HIT ME WITH THAT TALLY HALL AND TAZ? YES PLEASE THANK YOU KINDLY

[@entropy-em]

[@filiurwish1858]

The last frame of her in front of the Hunger willed window is so powerful

[@molIymawk]

_i just realized what taako was doing during the “oh no” at __0:24_

[@robotcal]

A loving tribute to Lucretia, some delicious art, ANNNND Tally Hall music all in one animatic? You made me so happy!!

[@Gracyn1102]

There's just??? So much I love about this animatic I don't really know where to start. The expressions, the two panels where it shows how most of the IPRE changed after the voidfish erased their memories, the possibly unintentional Johavi frame but still, the various scenes that took place on the moonbase, and LUCRETIA. Just your Lucretia. I love love LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!

[@robird__]

OMG WAS NOT EXPECTING A TALLY HALL SONG THANK YOU FOR THIS MAGICAL EXPERIENCE SKSKSSK

[@zolaliz4000]

Dude if taz was a tv show I would like to see it animated in your style

[@cjd3053]

GOD this hit me in the heart with lucretia feelings. I never really see any art of lucretia smiling. her little giddy smile after they leave the office? ach my heart again!! and the way you introduced the ipre with the splitscreen I loooved, then when they all changed? this is amazing

[@AnomGamerGirlPOTATO]

*Cries a little* y-yeah!

[@datamancy138]

taako appears to the word "thoughts" or should i say thots

[@EmptyFeet]

Every piece and every second. Every single one of content you give the world makes me a better person, want to be an even better person, love life the most I can, do the most I can for others because you and your mind are just that good. Thank You So Much

[@najsigt2052]

Witty McNugget oh wow!!! Thank you, Im happy that my animatics inspire you that much! I belive in yooouuu!!!

[@kiwo579]

This animatic was incredibly sloppy and unrefined compared to their stitched together webtoon page

[@PinkApocalypse]

I wholeheartedly love Lucretia laughing as soon as the tres horny boys leave, that’s %100 what happened, she loves her boys

[@KeeliaSilvis]

Omg, Lucretia secretly cracking up when they leave her office 😭💔

[@seafoamtaide]

Lucretia laughing after seeing her boys back is just Ugh (Slams fist on table) SO GOOD this is perfect yes yes the song works so well and I love the art and just every bit of it And I'm editing because I'm rewatching and I love it: the shakey smile when Davenport encourages her, the "oh yes" (she's so freaking cute aghgdjkugfju)

[@kiwo579]

I can’t wait to die

[@gidgetclaws6424]

*hears the first second of the song* WHY OH WHY THIS TOWN WITHOUT LOVE TOO MUCH FAITH IN ABOVE

[@Yzarro]

GOOD MUSIC TASTE OP

[@3ghostsinatrenchcoat]

Beautiful!! Love Luc’s little bounce at “oh yes!”

[@masterlillyclaw]

Happy Lucretia makes my heart sing thank you for this blessing

[@itsgeorgielu]

OH MAN MISERY FELL FITS SO WELL FOR BOB 😭 I love ur art style n how u draw the characters!!

[@wilbobaggins5403]

This always makes me realize how much I love the adventure zone

[@swampghost835]

can i just say that at the end it makes me so emotional when lucretia’s looking out the window in her full bob regalia and shit but then the hunger appears and she’s reduced to a young woman again, scared and alone and she’s right back at square one with no idea how to prevent anything that’s happening and just AAAAA

[@MantisSage]

I think I saw this ages ago and now, having finished Balance, its SO MUCH BETTER. I love your Lucretia and like others have said, how you don't show her as simply tragic, but show the good parts as well and the good moments, the found family they made. Her face at 1:16 though

[@squidpigeon7048]

when she... when they all leave the room after she sees them again orthe first time and she can't stop smiling???? i broke i love this SO MUCH!!!!!

[@wuhoh9775]

EVERY FANDOM IM IN IS JUST SLOWLY COLLIDING I SWEAR PNE DAY ILL JUST WATCH ONE MINUTE LONG VIDEO AND IT WILL CONTAIN EVERYTHING THAT IVE EVER VIEWED

[@tallyme7662]

Aww Lucretia is so wholesome here. I love this.

[@90geekgirl06]

[@kipofthemany2213]

[@stillhere8050]

[@Cobalt360Degrees]

[@Jesscapade]

[@MK-moth]

I never see animatics that use Tally Hall! Nice job on this one

[@FrosnPls]

Im so shook this is so incredibly cute and sweet (that bit where davenport tried to get lucretia to smile.......... omg.........)

[@pri-the-writer8892]

I just spent 30 minutes looking for this because all I remembered was the "Oh yes" bit and now I'm gonna like it so I never lose it again because it's so good!

[@leobabcock2474]

I first watched this before I even started taz, and now watching it again, everything falls in to place and makes sense and now I'm crying

[@berribell]

Aww that is so sweet. Yet also sad. But very cute.

[@slim_streams]

Wanted to come back here years later and say this the video that introduced me to tally hall. I owe you one for that 👍

[@Temmers4220]

This is actually really fantastic ilovetallyhall

[@Trashpanda_trailmix]

Temmers I was agreeing with your statement and then I saw your profile pic and I was reeeeeaaaaalllyyy agreeing with your statement

[@cardamon_tea7160]

did not expect to hear tally hall in this video but i am glad its here

[@datamancy138]

YO TALLY HALL IS MY FAV BAND AND I LOVE YR ART TY FOR MY LIFE

[@shoeboxgoblin2532]

i love this so much!!! love your art style and the way you draw these characters!!

[@thecarrotclarinet]

I DID NOT EXPECT MY FAVOURITE BAND TO BE IN THIS HOLY SHIT I GOT GOOSEBUMPS

[@givowl2160]

Thank you for making this, it’s extremely good! My fav bits are Davenport trying to get Lucretia to smile and her bittersweet smile back, and her happiness when the boys leave after the first meeting! I also like how you showed off the BOB community Lucretia built

[@babyslime]

This is beautiful, and made me tear up. I never really thought about how hard Lucretia worked to found the Bureau and what that would have represented to her; and still she lives alone with her guilt even in the midst of all the joy she's brought, knowing it might all come crashing down one day. This was such a perfect song choice too. The way it rises up through all the flashes of the good things she's helped create, but ultimately ends on this morose key. "Just enjoying their time with a hope... for... peace."

[@curiokryptic]

When I realized what song it was I was really surprised, but wow, that fits so well! Amazing work!

[@RickyKingProductions]

Instant sub hell yes I love Carrie talking to her best friend about her crush

[@alexkorinth6459]

This video single handedly got me into Tally Hall. I am so glad you're doing so much, and so well. Keep up the great work.
