Only the best damn scene in the entire book

[@MidnightStationOfficial]

Agreed! I just had to recreate that scene! Speak the words!

[@TheSGPhoenix]

great scene, but it gets for me a rundown by the scene where the radience all stand together in book 3 (hope this is vague enough to not be a spoiler)

[@MrRockon2235]

I always cry in this scene. Journey before destination radiant.

[@Patrick-jd1ku]

As great as this scene is, I think "Honor is dead, but I'll see what I can do" is better, but it's pretty damn close

[@Marsproject11]

Debatable. For me its either "Honor is dead...But I'll see what I can do!", or Kaladin's arrival at the battlefield after Dalinar holds his own against Szeth.

[@christopherhamilton6069]

This is probably the second best scene in the series, only beaten by, "you can't have my pain!"

[@XionRulez]

"you cannot take our sacrifice" up there too

[@rockargen9591]

@@XionRulez Kaladin's dream sequence with Tien is most definetly up there as well (in my opinion, its higher than every other scene)

[@ClubbingSealCub]

I'm very partial to 'MY CHOICE!' as well. Funny how all these scenes have the claiming of one's past in common.

[@BelmontWolverine]

Sorry, but it will always be "Honor is dead, but I'll see what I can do"

[@sumbody694]

"YOU. CAN"T . HAVE....MY PAIN" Made me fucking get up and actually yell scream into the air with tears in my eyes roaring like a beast. No other moment in reading has every done that to me.

[@QsaQed]

The voice actor for Syl did so amazing

[@johnpena8704]

I get choked up the moment I hear her voice

[@1forge2rulethemall88]

"If I protect only the people I like it means that I don't care about doing what is right"

[@prakrithkeshav9425]

When Kal showed up in the next scene holding the shard spear, bury the light always plays in my head. One of the lines are literally "I am the storm that is approaching" and it fits so well

[@Will-mk5pj]

My god, hearing you mention that song made me realize how perfectly it fits Kaladin

[@searlyt]

kaladin in this scene: "I couldn't protect [Tien], to this day, i hate myself for not having enough strength. but this time its different. I SWEAR; I'M NOT LETTING YOU DIE!!"

[@searlyt]

[@jasonj3867]

I saw this when you first uploaded this without ever hearing of Stormlight and then read through the entire saga just so I could get context for this animation. Thanks man

[@MidnightStationOfficial]

Wow! That was fast :P

[@My_Personal_Taste]

What a gift

[@Atamastra]

Hey that's almost EXACTLY what happened to me with a different KZbin video. It's an animation done by Peu of the moment when Kaladin arrives to face Szeth just a couple chapters after this. Look it up and imagine you know nothing about Stormlight Archive. I knew it was a big spoiler. Didn't care. I NEEDED to know how the story got there. Journey before Destination, amirite?

[@vector6006]

One small thing, when they're cutting open the wall the shardblade shouldn't be crashing into the wall. It should just cut cleanly

[@MidnightStationOfficial]

Good point ;)

[@vector6006]

@@MidnightStationOfficial Beautiful animation though, loved it!

[@Marsproject11]

@@MidnightStationOfficial If there is a change just animated him punching or kicking it down.

[@santiagoteruel4145]

I like how he sounds so excited about breaking the wall

[@stanz47]

the crashing made me laugh way too hard. I wasn't ready for it

[@talebtb2461]

Tears are literally streaming down my face!!!! I haven't cried in more than a decade!!!!

Same!!!!

[@Mykal06]

I’m watching it rn, this is my favourite scene in the book! But also I’m replying here because I’m a Christian and wanted to share the gospel with you! Please consider the Gospel message. To anyone reading this, there is a loving God who wants to save you. And because He loves us, He (Jesus) died on the cross and resurrected 3 days later so we can be forgiven of our sins and be saved. Repent and believe the Gospel! Please consider the state of your soul, don't let this chance pass you by. Believe in Jesus and follow Him so you can have salvation. Life is short, please make the right choice today before its too late. Jesus loves you.

[@PeterDivine]

I know Syl's voice actor here was going for frantic desperation, and I 100% respect the effort and energy, but the shrillness of her voice breaking just makes her sound exasperated, which is hilarious. "Kaladin! Stretch forth thy hand!" "I... can't..." "STRETCH FORTH THY HAND!" "I'm too... weak..." *"KALADINISAIDSTRETCHFORTHTHYHANDYOUSTUPIDIDIOTDON'TMAKEMESAYITAGAIN"*

[@dawsonalvarez6133]

Im glad im not the only one who thought this

[@atom5469]

Yeah i dunno. Might be because I heard it first but I prefer the "normal" audio version to this. I feel like the actors here are just short of being good enough to pull something like this off. As a result it feels pretty cringey to me.

[@Mr_POO-5673]

Yeah... great animation, but almost felt like an episode from he man🥴

[@TheOther19]

Best scene in this book (and my favorite in entire cosmere series so far) and this animation made it so much better. This video needs... no deserves more views. I've watched this video several times now and I love it!!!!!

[@MichaelJRK]

"Then..Kaladin exploded with light" I LOVE the visual you did for this!!!!

[@GiganteiTap]

Man i love this moment in the book and the fight that happen after this. Great animation work. I really wish to see more of this ^^

[@KamiNoKaminari]

Some of my favorite Kaladin scenes, not in any particular order: -After he was left to hang to face the Stormfather's judgement, and bridge four comes out to pay their respects, and to kill their hopes. And he opens his eyes. -His first bridge run AFTER his visit to the Honor Chasm. -Any scene involving Kaladin saving/protecting Dalinar. Sadeas' betrayal, both of Szeth's attacks on Dalinar. Also when he volunteers to fight 4 Shardbearers to protect Adolin. -When (during one of his flashbacks of Tien's death) he found Tien on the battlefield. How he held him as he died, and for a bit longer after that. -When Dalinar, seeing Kaladin fall trying to save his father, almost ready to speak the fourth Ideal. In order to give him just a little bit more time, somehow sends a "vision"(?) of Tien to Kaladin, who helps him speak the 4th Ideal, which grants him a Shardplate, which lets him save his father. Bunch more, and I didn't really include his "character/emotional" parts as much but yeah

[@itsbunny1921]

This is amazing. I would pay to see syl remembering what spren she is, or kaladin saying the fourth ideal.

[@MidnightStationOfficial]

Ahaha. I'll do more scenes further down the line :D

[@thefision6402]

Your interpretation of glyph forming made me realize something. Stormfather said "Your shadow doesnt belong to you" to Dalinar. This line and glyph facing away from Kaladin are probably connected.

[@pyroguyman096]

This scene never fails to make me well up. I never got emotional during movies, books, or music prior to finding Sanderson. Now each book has at least one moment that darn near (and sometimes absolutely) brings me to tears. I can't listen to certain scenes unless I'm alone. While I know Graphic Audio isn't everyone's cup of tea, I can honestly say that they hit these moments out of the park every time. Maybe other times can be mixed strangely or have awkward line delivery, but the big emotional moments are always absolutely incredible. From "we have to go back" to "I die knowing I'm loved" and everything in between. "You cannot have my pain" sends me over the edge every time. I could go on and list every moment from every book, but I don't want to spoil anything for anyone.

[@BuildsByCeyphe]

This is excellent. I can die happy when a stormlight adaptation is one day made

[@buzzywork]

[@myoungcache]

[@carloszerna4514]

4:49 I truly think this was Moash’s last chance. He hesitates because he thought Kaladin was reaching for him. If he hadn’t made the Sylblade, Moash might have taken his hand and been saved from his future.

[@lutokill4784]

There is never a last chance, you can always decide to do good. If Dalinar can become a better man anyone can. The problem with Moash Is that he gains ALL the chances to do good, to accept his faults and change, and decided to throw them away

[@pressfinchat]

All my sympathies for Moash vanished when he did the you-know-what in book 4

[@Marsproject11]

@@pressfinchat There can be no forgiveness for that act.

[@DrKingsleyRoberts]

​@@lutokill4784 I agree. I think Darth Vader is the best example. He did evil for a long time. But the love and persistence of his son softened his conscious and repented. Does it make up for all that he did? Definitely not, but everyone has a chance to change. Hoping Moash will repent when confronted in book 5. This won't absolve him of any consequences or "OK" his wrong doing but it will give him a chance to try doing good.

[@lutokill4784]

@@DrKingsleyRoberts Everyone has the right to be better But no one can demand forgiveness

[@Atamastra]

I want to see this in its full animated glory, not just framework and rough sketches, cuz you've got something amazing here. This is the best scene of WoR, and in my top 3 for the entire SA, and THANK YOU for using GraphicAudio; it is THE way to experience the Stormlight Archive (fight me, it is S Class material; worth every penny). This scene was illustrated (or at least storyboarded) almost exactly how I imagined it in my head. No matter how many times I hear, I *still* get goosebumps.

[@1166andy]

...made me cry, I don't know what I'll do if this ever comes out on Movie/TV , I'll probably die watching it.

[@CNNBlackmailSupport]

It will be a gay woman protecting a trans Elhokar from two straight white males wearing armor decorated suspiciously like the confederate flag. Be careful what you wish for.

[@Scp4521]

This display was so intimidating that *two full shardbearers* backed away from Kaladin.

[@onilink134]

Honestly, if a dying man suddenly turned into the sun in front of me, I'd shit my Shardplate too.

[@themaltman34]

This is fucking fantastic. You should definitely make more! I'd love to see something like the fourth ideal or basically any other moment!

[@Novofreeze]

Absolutely nailed it! Currently rereading the series, and the way you portrayed it almost exactly like it was in my mind. The amount of emotion and the movement of the characters was simply marvelous. I love how you even bothered to throw in the blood trail, even if it had 0 impact on the scene on its own. Bravo!

Thanks for your comment. The drawings were done in Photoshop, environment in Blender and the speedlines were done in After Effects. There's probably a more efficient way of doing this though but hey

However shes only upto the part where Kaladin and Moash talk to the assasins going after the king. and i cant find "part 3" of a phyical book.. now shes about to start Oathbringer.. i keep telling her shes no where near Oathbringer..
