The Pitiful Children - A Tales From the Borderlands Animatic

When I heard the song “The Pitiful Children” from Be More Chill, I immediately thought of Rhys and Handsome Jack from Tales From the Borderlands, and also want to practice making animatics, I knew I had to create an animatic from it.

When I first heard the musical, I flashbacked to Handsome Jack from Tales from the Borderlands and thought: "Oh my gosh he was a SQUIP." This song fits him and Rhys perfectly and you did an amazing job on the animation.

[@nomadicfenris755]

Never have I had my heart broken harder then with what Jack ended up doing to our boy

[@addressunknown5629]

all this effort for sure deserves more views! also bmc and tftbl is a natural fit, SOMEONE had to see it!

[@i_escaped_area_5128]

It's weird how much Squip and Jack have in common. Both are blue dudes who are controlling and manipulative and have taken over the minds of two losers who have nerdy best friends and are having work/school problems.

[@theerokappa]

sigh [looks at watch] time to watch the borderlands pitiful children animatic again

[@HunterSquareHippy]

I thought the SQUIP and Handsome Jack would work so well. I'm so glad I'm not alone

[@NightyElean]

Everything bout this video looks ADORABLE AAAA. Even though Jack has sum bAd ideas in his head, and Rhys is so oblivous sTILL- ALSO 01:26 AJDJWJDWKDJEODN SO CUTE LOOK AT THEM. RHYS IS ADORABLE AND JACK IS SUCH A DORK I LOVE HIM-

[@mirukuocha4067]

This is absolutely amazing. You captured Jack's vibes perfectly, and I love how fluid and fun the poses are!!

[@Sunny-zo7sz]

You god. You absolute madman. Here I thought the fandom was dead, but you came and single handedly resurrected my love of not only borderlands, but animatics as well. I seriously hope you make more animations, you have such a fantastic style

[@kbug_girl]

dude, I absolutely love this i'm sitting here writing and I'm just jamin out to this

[@trashmallow]

cause of death: this video. no but really--this is absolutely breathtaking and i got such a boost of serotonin watching it. your art is a GIFT and all the strategic planning behind transitions and just the scenes you picked in general?? CHEF KISS. Incredible work. Thank you so much for sharing this!!

[@NeroPawz]

I’m a gay disaster & the way you draw jack makes me soft

[@Trash_OpossumMel]

This is amazing!!! It gave me chills when everything Jack related was replaced with Rhys. It's so well planned out and the expressions are so good!!! I just gfhdkjghk it's so amazing

[@ashleymo092]

(Woohoo first comment!) All I can say is that i love this! (For some reason I liked 2:05 as Jack steps back, got a lot of those manipulative vibes)

[@christophershell7564]

My favorite part too, alongside how at the end everyone who Rhys was seeing was a hologram projected by Jack.

[@EveTheRaviolo]

OMG SO I WASNT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOIGHT THIS SONG SOUNDED PERFECT FOR RHYS AND JACK. Like the moment i discovered this musical i was like "holy shit squip and jeremy totally look have jack and rhys vibes, especially in the pitiful children song". I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THINKING THAT AKJDHDJKJHF WHY DIDNT KZbin RECOMMEND ME THIS VIDEO SOONER

[@Billy193]

mashing these two properties really works out well!

[@creativegearsfilms3573]

I’m so jealous with how you can draw these characters in your style and they still look like them! I have so many Borderlands animatic ideas but every time I try to draw them they look...not like themselves. But THIS!?!?! This is fantastic. The characters look so much like themselves and feel like themselves. And I just - UGH!!! I love this so much. Keep up the great work!

[@i_escaped_area_5128]

BMC and Borderlands, two of my most favorite things. The song and the characters match up really well. Squip and Jack have so much in common its kinda scarry. Amazing job!

[@ayishap.b.5152]

I dont know what Tales of Borderlands is, bit I know this has effort and love! This so underrated and needs apreciation. You have real talent here!! 👏✨✨

[@atlasofgalaxies]

WOWWW this was fantastic! I always thought the pitiful children fitted jack quite well, and you translated that beautifully! your style is wonderful and SO expressive! (also massive kudos to you for including the fingergun fight scene and MAKING IT SERIOUS??) this animation is just wonderful and gives me so many lovely nostalgic feelings. thank you for this absolute treat!

[@ck_cal]

i have no idea what a border land is but this art style is so fricking good i will now proceed to get into borderlands exclusively thanks to this video

[@IndependentOreo]

I never thought about how well Jack fits as squip... this is amazing

[@logicbarrier]

That's unfair such a great work gets so little attention... I love it, this animatic is so smooth, so dynamic. Rewatching it again and again!

[@rhysstrongfork4394]

the world needs more be more chill x tftbl

[@iamearthy01]

wow! i can't believe i didn't see this till now. i LOVE the scene from 2:34 to 2:43, it fits with the music so well and the expressions are just (chefs kiss). i hope to see more from you!

[@ThatGirl1721]

Omg there’s so much I love about this! Art style, animation, everything timed up with the song, claptrap dancing during the “beep bop boop boop” part, it’s SO GOOD!

[@bugeater2763]

GOD THIS IS SO GOOD IM SOBBING 😭😭😭 its so well drawn and animated and it just fits so perfectly im crying so much thank you for this

[@zerogoodcontent7293]

Wow this is just wow from the art style to the imagery this is a good damn masterpiece

[@trashcat9366]

I'm in love with your artstyle and the way you draw everyone- _I am sobbing_

[@nellasaura8771]

Two of my favorite media combined??? This was INCREDIBLE!!!

[@wafercream5682]

God, everytime I watch this it fills me with soo much joy that I feel like throwing up

[@yourtrashwaifu4521]

Absolutely incredible! The panels were funny and very well done! This deserves more attention!

[@georgiamillard6095]

this is one of the best tales from the borderlands animatics I've ever seen!

[@hellishangst]

OOOOH my god this was so good. This song fits so fuckin' well!!!

[@gwilym_unhinged]

BROOOOOOOO.... THIS JUST NEEDED TO EXIST! I WAS LITERALLY WORKING ON THE SAME ANIMATIC BEFORE GIVING UP BECAUSE IT'S HARD AND YOU PULL IT OFF BEAUTIFULLY. OMGG💖💖

[@solovskyaa]

OMG OMG OMG, THAT AMAZING MAN, you `re incredible!! I'm so love this musical, and this track very suite for Jack and Rhys, I every time see a rhack vibes in this!!

[@trisdratini6374]

i’m legit in this weird specific phase atm and i fucking love ur art style. great work

[@DOGLE17]

IT’S AMAZING AND WONDERFUL!!!!

[@SouperPie.]

i got this in my recommended and started grINNING UNCONTROLLABLY, this is so clever and i absolutely LOVE your artstyle!! keep up the great work

[@nessnake123]

Handsome Jack is a legend.

[@Lauren007E]

God this song was perfect for them, I'm amazed no one's actually made this before lmao Good job!

[@oblivionofthewise5885]

Have you ever seen anything this beautiful?

[@schmingerfly6436]

I've been waiting for someone to make a bmc x tftbl animation for so long and as far as I know this was the first.

[@julissavillatoro5725]

The song goes so well with TFTBL! This was so well done, it makes me nostalgic for the game 😍🥰❤

[@Jaxx_409]

OMG THIS IS SOO COOOOL!!! You captured Rhys and Jack perfectly 👌 the posing and everything!! I- *chef’s kiss* beautiful 🥰

[@Donteatacowman]

This is one of the best BMC animatics I've ever seen. Holy cow. 0:16 is hilarious.

[@Donteatacowman]

My friend is streaming this game for me now and A+++++++ decisions in this video

[@Donteatacowman]

.....Also hhhhhmghgod did you do a jekyll and hyde animatic too. Oh mt god

[@Donteatacowman]

youtube suggested i rewatch and it was right. I did not appreciate this nearly enough. Fiona at 0:49.............................. I was gonna snark at Yvette being at 0:35 because that mfer should've STAYED pitiful but now I'm just crying at the psychobandits. They didn't get a smile/sad face transition hahahha. 100% expected Jack to noscope Claptrap with a finger gun at 1:37. And man your pixel-effect transition for Jack is perfection and he WISHES his disappearances looked this good in canon. 3:13 oh my GOD JACK!!!!!!

[@andrew-kh6fe]

still awesome two years later

[@somebozo6664]

OMGGGG I LOVE THIS VIDEO SO MUCH. I ASSOCIATE BMC WITH TFTBL A LOT AND IM SO GLAD SOMEBODY MADE AN ANIMATIC OF THIS SONG

[@megangreen5044]

God this was such a good game. Thank you for reminding me why I love it while using a song that I also love. Well played...

[@EveTheRaviolo]

also THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE BORDERLANDS ANIMATIC. I just love your style and the way you draw jack and rhys, this animatic gives a clear idea of what happens in each scene!

[@hypnohysteria]

Ohohohohohoho, WOW!!!! I love it! Very cool! You're amazing... QwQ♡♡♡ Thank you for it!

[@Animation_Channel]

Welcome back to KZbin! I hope your year has been going smoothly for you. Great job transposing a musical to a video game, the characters appear to match the tone of each other quite well. Using ClapTrap as a stand in for the scatting at 1:37 is hilarious, and Handsome Jack’s fadeout at 2:08 was done really well. Keep finding inspiration in different things, and stay frosty!

[@Cowmaize]

!!!! I LOVE??? HILY SHIT THIS IS SUCH A SMOOTH STORY BOARD AND I LOOOOVE!!!

[@Editor1204]

THIS FANDOM LIVES ONNNNN

[@artistperson5785]

[@lasagoofs]

All the shot compositions and poses are gorgeous! This must've taken so much time and effort and it shows!!

[@cartooncottage2024]

[@barnacles1236]
