The think that really breaks me with Caleb’s story is looking at fan projects like this. Looking those younger portrayals of him right in the face and thinking “that is someone who is lawful evil.”
I think it could be argued he was lawful neutral as he did what he did not for self-gain but because he believed it was for the empire and ultimately for what at the time he believed to be the greater good.
I love everything about this. Specially the parts where it transitions to Caleb and Astrid dancing and goes right to Jester and also the one with Caleb’s side profile with Trent and then cutting to the beach on the same spot of Caleb’s profile. *chef’s kiss* Ah the hands. Another silly thing. At 3:55. Back there. Awkward grass flirting
2:47 This is definitely one of my favorite shots of this. The transition between their first (VERY awkward) hug, to them properly hugging is absolutely fantastic. It shows the immense amount of progress and development they made together in three seconds. Absolutely incredible
My favorite part of this video is the interaction between Caleb and Caduceus. Earlier in the video Molly slapped Caleb and then kissed him in order to calm him and comfort him. Later in the video when Caduceus lifts his hand to the side of Caleb's face, Caleb moves his head away slightly and winces as if anticipating to be slapped again. Beautiful attention to detail, I love this video so much.
I'm??? in tears??? This is so beautiful and it shows Caleb's story and his relationships with the Nein (especially Nott!) so so well. Also Eodwulf's eye roll was perfect and made me laugh a lot. I can really tell that so much work went into this and it's just stunning!
This just encapsulates the whole critical role experience in the space of five minuets. Truly beautifully done the talent of evaryone involved is incredible and I hope to see much more in your own time of corse. Creating something so moveing takes time after all :)
The subtleties of this are incredible. It really captures Caleb's journey and emotions without anyone ever technically saying a word. Beautifully done!
I love the transitions you made between Jester and Astrid when changing scenes. It really highlights Caleb’s respective feelings for them and how he views these two important women in his life.
I have actual chills. This is absolutely gorgeous, and it's part of the reason why I love the Critters so much- critters are a huge creativity powerhouse. There's so much obvious love and passion in this project, and I could watch it five million more times and never get bored.
Here's the power of this video: I don't know a thing about Critical Role, but it moved me to tears. I want to see more! Edowulf's eyeroll and the sunhat on the beach made me laugh, and I've watched the dance and battle scenes over and over on Twitter because they're mesmerizing! Amazing talent showcased in this.
Okay, must admit that I don't exactly... keep up with CR, but that was SO BEAUTIFUL. The emotion was self-explanatory and the videography was just flawless. It's wonderful to see a project that was clearly made with ALL THE LOVE. Amazing work, all of you!!! ♥♥♥
This officially makes a grown man cry. It's so good. The way the flashbacks align with the softer parts of the music, and the important parts of his new life align with the louder music. The locations, the cosplay, the acting, the choice of scenes from the show... Just so great. I really love the idea that this is exactly how Caleb sees things, he doesn't focus on the dragons, knolls, war, whatever... he sees his friends. Can't believe it existed for three months before i ever saw it. Actually, I gotta add two things. The lyrics of the song are perfect for Caleb too. Also, the part that chokes me up the most is the moment when he remembers burning his family, and then the music picks up with fjord breaking him out of the memory. Not only these characters, but the players themselves, all consider themselves flawed, and they are, just not in the ways they think they are, which can be frustrating for those around them, yet their friends (both in character and out) are still there to help them, and care about them, and break them out of the mental prisons they put themselves in... That moment when Fjord does that for Caleb, right as the music picks up with "BUT IT'S NOT TONIGHT", is such a joyously defiant moment. Just amazing.
When I first heard the song in March last year, I knew it was always going to be for Caleb to me. Getting to bring that to life was such a great experience and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for such a detailed comment, it means a lot
@@Electrospectrum Man, your acting in this is great BTW. As much as I love your other talents, every time I watch this (usually when drinking), (on top of every other thing I love in this video) I take notice of your acting. You could, for sure, be an actor if your passions led you that way. Crazy talented. Edit: holy shit, all the acting in this is so good. I can't help but think you are freakin amazing as a director too. I hope you don't underestimate yourself....
Thank you so, SO much Chase for this - your hard work and dedication to this project SHINED through from the first day it even came into being as a THING, and watching you go from strength to strength with each passing day was just a delight. This is breathtaking - I said it throughout the editing process, and I'm saying it again now. You've outdone yourself. Your skills are constantly growing and thriving, and seeing your work on the shots, editing, transitions... everything here, it's just a wonder to behold. I hope you're so proud of yourself, boyo, because for sure so many people are right now! And, again, thank you so very much for asking me to play Caleb, because it meant the world, even if I was a self-doubting fool at times
Critical Role. The group that inspires others to create. I don't know of any other way to put it, their reach and their impact extend way beyond their own stories and endeavors, and into our hearts
This has got to be one of the most amazing cmvs I've ever seen, the pacing and slow unravel of the story and developments is perfect and the attention to detail and locations is just *chefs kiss* sublime Could watch this over and over and am definitely going to do this
HOLLLYY SHIIIIT JNREKNGKERNGJKRENGKJRENGKJNERKJGRE THIS WAS INCREDIBLE I DONT EVEN WATCH/LISTEN TO CR BUT KNOW THE BASICS OF IT BUT HOLY SHIT I LOVE WATCHING SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFULLY MADE AND IT MAKES ME FEEL THINGS DESPITE MY LACK KNOWLEDGE OF THE CAMPAIGN BUT I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. omg the music, the filming, all the shots omg you and everyone apart of it has put so much hard work into this and it bloody shows!!! I'm so proud of you all. ive teared up so much over watching this omg. this is beautiful. im cryin great job.
This is incredible work! I can't even imagine how much effort went into this. The locations look fantastic, I recognise some of them! Amazing effects and camera work and you all look so good. This is such a beautiful tribute to the show!
Wow... just ...wow. I am a fan of anything you do anyway, but a video centered on my favourite series and my favourite character in that series to this beautiful heartbreaking song... It's just perfection. Didn't expect the flashbacks to the Soltrice Academy... the pain (and joy... but mostly pain.). Thank you so much for this wonderful creation.
It has taken all of my strength to not scream like a pterodactyl, I've been SO excited for this and I wasn't disappointed! This made me so happy to see I can't even put my emotions into words. Thank you for all of the effort you've all put into making this, because it's a masterpiece
This is incredible! You all embody the characters so well and the scenes you chose to portray had such an emotional impact. The entire video was so meaningful and well done. The transitions from past to present flowed so seamlessly that I gasped every time. Thank you for all the time and effort you all put in to make this possible, it is an absolute treasure. Thank you for bringing even more life to the Mighty Nein in such a meaningful way!
What really got me was the part when caduceus appears cause it lets you know that one of the many people Caleb had trusted in the group was no longer with them anymore.
And yet, as I got to comment to Talisen a few weeks ago, when Deucy meets Trent, two eps in a row he is A, ready to tell Yasha "You can kill him" and then tells Caleb, "If Trent even looks at you wrong there will be NOTHING left of him". Molly would have been the same way.
I WASN'T READY!!!! I WAS WARNED BUT STILL WASN'T READY!!!😭😭😭😭 Y'all look fan-freaken-tactic. Video was beautifully done. I love y'all. Y'all look great. I got feels now. Brb going to cry.
The locations are gorgeous and spot-on. The small moments that were chosen to act out. THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL. oh my goodness this is the best wow. so deserving of more views.
WOW!!! I was so enraptured the whole time that I never even looked at the live chat. Everything was amazing from the script writing and settings to the costuming, acting, and editing!!!😍 Now if you will excuse me, I have to go watch it Again. 😘
This is honestly breathtaking. In so many subtle little ways you capture the energy of each character and explore the wonderful journey of the mighty Nein and Caleb. I love this!
I have watch this maybe too many times and not only is it absolutely gorgeous and the acting and cosplays are fantastic but I've been staring at all the shots where there are other characters in the background who whilst aren't important to whatever is going on in the foreground add so much and makes it really feel real and grounded and yeah, it's a habit I've picked up from doing theatre and I'm blown away by how much has gone into the background acting so that it feel real and cohesive even if it's it not the main focus of that shot and might only be seen by someone on a rewatch or it specifically looking out for other characters in a shot or something, I'm just blown away and keep finding things every time I rewatch it. Just wonderful work from everybody
Ahhh thank you so much for noticing! Having other characters in the background made all the shots feel more believable to shoot, the whole goal for the choruses was like 'slice of life with the Mighty Nein' just showing off various moments with Caleb, so it made sense that everyone would be about. This is so nice to hear back, thank you
This was amazing and I love how you can see the time along with the effort that has been put into this. I love this so much and I want to congratulate you on your amazing work.
This is absolutely beautiful! The match-cuts of hands and faces, the whole athmosphere... I adore your camera-work and the editing is phenomenal. Everyone's costumes are stunning, the locations, god, where do you even find these places?! Well done, you can see every last amount of effort and every piece of love that went into making this. It's beautiful.
god i gotta come back here and add that i looooove this portrayal of astrid? youve captured my image of her PERFECTLY,, and the way she takes brens hand in the more ’dominant/masculine’ position when theyre walking down the stairs? jaaaaaaaaa
It was a tricky one because we filmed some scenes with her before getting more information about Caleb's opinion of her in more recent episodes, so I'm glad our version of her still came across well! I'd like to believe that they did have fun together and enjoyed each other's company, but that perhaps she was more of the boss of the two? I guess we might find out later on!
TEAAAAARRRSSS, guys. This is so beautifully done! I can’t even express what was my favorite because even the subtlest of moments was so evocative and amazing. Not to mention my two favorite things in the world are Hozier and Critical Role! Amazing work all around. The acting was spot on- every moment felt so genuine. And this was shot and edited so beautifully I could gush about the cinematography for literal ages. I’m gonna go watch this six more times.
I freaking love everything about this video. A+ this is normally not the style of cmv I am used to, but I love it. Very well produced and edited, well done!
Thank you all for putting in so much of yourselves to share with the community. This was an utter pleasure to watch and has really inspired me to try my hand at cosplay if it can lead to such beautiful pieces of art that can touch so many people's hearts.
Wow. This is a whole other level. Sincerely, well done to everyone involved with this and Chase, the QUALITY bro. I love this! Still haven't seen a lick of CR but WOW. Spectacular. Y'all should be proud!
Just a wonderful interpretation of Caleb's story. Such love and dedication. Oh how I wish the community of Critters could never end. Huzzay, huzzay, huzzay!
You guys included that mud smear part! Loved it, as I've actually had a conversation with someone similar to that, irl a long ago, at a time when I was struggling to pay bills.
It's honestly insane how long I've been waiting to see this video -- I've been following you guys creating it for what seems like forever! It was so worth the wait. This is absolutely incredible and every single person who's part of it is amazing! I mean the details, the acting, the cinematography, the COSPLAYS!!! You guys are incredible!!!!
Ahhhhhh this video is so amazing well done and professional!! I have gotten into to Critical Role because of this and it is one of the best decisions of my life so thank you!!!!!
I watched this three times in a row and I'm saving it for later. I HAVE to watch it at half speed to see all the little things that happen in the background!
We had a lot of fun putting in little background moments and references to really make the Mein feel like a group! Thank you for taking the time to spot them!
I love the passion and dedication that went into this. Everyone looked amazing, and everything that I have come to love about Critical Role was captured perfectly.
Oh my goodness, wow. There really aren’t enough words to describe how beautiful this is. You can feel just how much love and time went into the creation of this video, and the result is absolutely stunning! What a fantastic piece 💙
Fantastic work! Very cleverly done, especially the transitions with Astrid and the 9. I can't imagine the amount of work that must have gone into making this.
Hi person! The amount it time and effort you put into this piece is super impressive and I just wanted to let you know that you have produced something really cool! It was awesome to see all these moments brought to life. You and all your friends should be very proud! Hope that you are having a wonderful life :)
My gosh, I don't even know what to say, I'm in tears. BEAUTIFUL, beautiful work everyone, this might have been the most emotional and beautiful thing I've seen this year 😭❤️
I love that you can really feel the friendship between the mighty nien in this. It doesn't just feel like actors playing a part but more like reliving and watching actually memories
This gave me so so so many Caleb feelings and I bawled through the latter half so I'm going to need to watch it again so I can make sure I didn't miss anything. This is so beautifully done. From the song choice to the moments chosen to the way it's shot. I'm so happy your friends were there to push you to do this project. Caleb deserves it. I really hope Liam and the crew sees this.
Omg! I love it! I’ve been really excited, waiting for it and the wait was definitely worth it! Thank you all for making this incredible CMV!!! ^-^ ❤️💛❤️
I think what makes me love this so much (besides for all the obvious stuff like shots, editing, the music, the cosplay, etc) is how much wish fulfillment I get from seeing the nein in the real world. In so many shots (particularly in the second half, alter the 2:30 mark), although the camera is focused on Caleb, you can see the nein behind him. It makes them feel real and while yes, this is about Caleb, its also a space for fictional characters to exist. Things like Beau and Yasha flirting, Molly and Nott dancing, Jester running up to Fjord every third shot, Beau standing on a tree while she's talking to people, the clerics making their rounds, Yasha and Fjord walking together through a background, Beau and Cad meditating together, all of it is so god damn perfect!
I dont have words for it 😭its a masterpiece honestly i love it so much (let me cry in my corner this is perfection) you all did such a great and wonderful job 😭👌👌👏👏👏
Story time: I've seen this video twice. The first time was before I had started watching Critical Role. Now I'm on episode 21 of campaign 2 and it feels so different. Now that I know the characters and I've seen some of their struggles (although I know there are more to come. I'm approaching episode 26 which... well, if you know, you know) and this video feels so raw and so real. The interactions between the characters are so genuine and the energy of the project is very true to the energy of Critical Role itself. I'm excited to revisit this once I've made it even further into the series. I think this is a truly beautiful work you've created.

Even a nod to Yasha's greatsword shaves. And Caleb's flinching.
I literally went THEY DID THE SHAVE SCENE XD So great.
I mean really, didn't _anyone_ have a frikkin dagger?
Me: "oh cool another fun parody video."
*30secs in* "WHY DO FEELS DO SNEAK ATTACK DAMAGE?!?!?"
I'm afraid you'll find no fun parodies here, when it comes to CritRole, I only want to throw emotional punches :'D
@@Electrospectrum I respect your goal
@@Electrospectrum Bop! Bop! indeed!! well done!
Who else got emotional when Caleb was trying to teach Nott Wall of Fire?
Fun fact, I was sitting cross legged on a log and trying desperately not to fall off. Reall happy that you loved that scene xxx
I did. Caleb has only put that to use when it was time to protect his friends. So much more impactful.
@@ApolloCosplay wow you did amazing in this video and your cosplay was on point!
@@friendsandfireballs5194 oh gosh thank you !!!!
@@ApolloCosplay hey wow! Your welcome! Your cosplays crush it every time. 😁
This is gonna make me cry isn’t it
Update: yep.
same 😭
eeeeyup
Yep!
Made me cry each time now.
Same
The think that really breaks me with Caleb’s story is looking at fan projects like this. Looking those younger portrayals of him right in the face and thinking “that is someone who is lawful evil.”
That’s just wrong. His character sheet even says True Neutral.
@@feedbacking6306 our caleb is true neutral but prestream (in his backstory) he was lawful evil. Or att least that is what is says of the fandomwiki
@@feedbacking6306 He used to be lawful evil back during his academy days. Now he is considered true neutral.
@@Kadel___ yeah. Baby Caleb was adorable... and a brainwashed torturer/executioner.
I think it could be argued he was lawful neutral as he did what he did not for self-gain but because he believed it was for the empire and ultimately for what at the time he believed to be the greater good.
I love everything about this. Specially the parts where it transitions to Caleb and Astrid dancing and goes right to Jester and also the one with Caleb’s side profile with Trent and then cutting to the beach on the same spot of Caleb’s profile. *chef’s kiss*
Ah the hands.
Another silly thing. At 3:55. Back there. Awkward grass flirting
That first transition from Astrid to Jester was so perfectly timed to music and emotion.
2:47 This is definitely one of my favorite shots of this. The transition between their first (VERY awkward) hug, to them properly hugging is absolutely fantastic. It shows the immense amount of progress and development they made together in three seconds. Absolutely incredible

This means so much to me, thank you
This was absolutely moving.
It's live action critical recap!
Be honest who else immediately teared up when it cut to Caleb and jester dancing 🥺
Yup same, this whole video is just lovely ;-;
The subtleties of this are incredible. It really captures Caleb's journey and emotions without anyone ever technically saying a word. Beautifully done!
I love the transitions you made between Jester and Astrid when changing scenes. It really highlights Caleb’s respective feelings for them and how he views these two important women in his life.
My favorite shot is at 2:33, with the Empire Siblings. Both the mood of it, and the rhythm. The cinnamontographie....
I have actual chills. This is absolutely gorgeous, and it's part of the reason why I love the Critters so much- critters are a huge creativity powerhouse. There's so much obvious love and passion in this project, and I could watch it five million more times and never get bored.
Seeing someone act out Yasha shaving Caleb just makes it so much more ridiculous.
We all felt silly doing it to be honest 😂 It was a great scene
Watching this after the campaigns finale really solidifies Caleb as my favorite character from this season
someone tweet this at the critrole cast they need to see this
Done
Here's the power of this video: I don't know a thing about Critical Role, but it moved me to tears. I want to see more! Edowulf's eyeroll and the sunhat on the beach made me laugh, and I've watched the dance and battle scenes over and over on Twitter because they're mesmerizing! Amazing talent showcased in this.

faithlessone423 I’m always a bit envious when someone says they don’t keep up with CR. You’ve got a beautiful wild ride waiting for ya. 🙂
As someone who caught up on that ride (with Campaign 2 anyway) all i can say is that journey is 1000% WORTH IT.
This officially makes a grown man cry. It's so good. The way the flashbacks align with the softer parts of the music, and the important parts of his new life align with the louder music.

You all did so well!! I'm so proud of you!!!! This came our beautifully!
Ahhhh thank you Nicole!
NIKKI 😭😭😭🧡🧡🧡 DONT MAKE ME CRY (Spoiler: too late)
Critical Role. The group that inspires others to create. I don't know of any other way to put it, their reach and their impact extend way beyond their own stories and endeavors, and into our hearts
Molly slapping Caleb a d then kissing him on the head got to me
This has got to be one of the most amazing cmvs I've ever seen, the pacing and slow unravel of the story and developments is perfect and the attention to detail and locations is just *chefs kiss* sublime
Could watch this over and over and am definitely going to do this
This community continues to blow me away.
oh my god this is FANTASTIC! the cosplays, the editing, the acting, the EVERYTHING!!! amazing job!

We got really lucky with some of the places that agreed to let us shoot there! Thank you so much!

Honestly, I never thought it would even get this many views so I'm very grateful 😂 Thank you so much!
WOW!!! I was so enraptured the whole time that I never even looked at the live chat. Everything was amazing from the script writing and settings to the costuming, acting, and editing!!!😍 Now if you will excuse me, I have to go watch it Again. 😘

Still haven't seen a lick of CR but WOW. Spectacular. Y'all should be proud!
I always have this tab open on my browser, just in case I ever want to watch it again, it's right there
Just a wonderful interpretation of Caleb's story. Such love and dedication. Oh how I wish the community of Critters could never end. Huzzay, huzzay, huzzay!
Im only on ep20 and yet this is hitting hard to actually visually see everything and not just mentally, just wow
Holy Wildmother this is amazing!!!!!!!!! The cosplayers, the sets, the story!! It was so much fun to watch! Major kudos to everyone involved in this!
You guys included that mud smear part! Loved it, as I've actually had a conversation with someone similar to that, irl a long ago, at a time when I was struggling to pay bills.
It's honestly insane how long I've been waiting to see this video -- I've been following you guys creating it for what seems like forever! It was so worth the wait. This is absolutely incredible and every single person who's part of it is amazing! I mean the details, the acting, the cinematography, the COSPLAYS!!! You guys are incredible!!!!
This is such a beautifully made video! I'm in absolute awe of how you got it to work so perfectly! Can't wait for the next one!
Ahhhhhh this video is so amazing well done and professional!! I have gotten into to Critical Role because of this and it is one of the best decisions of my life so thank you!!!!!
this is STUPIDLY good. i don't know how i found this so late but i made my heart warm. Amazing job to everyone involved.
Thank you so much!
This was absolutely beautifully made! Amazing editing and premise, and great acting and cosplay. Thank you all for creating this
Thank you for watching it!
I watched this three times in a row and I'm saving it for later. I HAVE to watch it at half speed to see all the little things that happen in the background!
We had a lot of fun putting in little background moments and references to really make the Mein feel like a group! Thank you for taking the time to spot them!
Gorgeous buddy, absolutely stunning job on all of it :) you make me so proud
I love you. So much. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful. The costumes, the acting, the shots, the whole video was amazing. Wonderful. I can't praise it enough!
I love the passion and dedication that went into this. Everyone looked amazing, and everything that I have come to love about Critical Role was captured perfectly.
Oh my goodness, wow. There really aren’t enough words to describe how beautiful this is. You can feel just how much love and time went into the creation of this video, and the result is absolutely stunning! What a fantastic piece 💙
Thank you! It's been a labour of love, honestly, but I've adored working together with everyone on this
Chase, this was so good! I love it!!! 💙💙💙 You all did so amazing!
i could watch that transition at 2:28 over and over i’m OBSESSED with it
Nott: He’s MY boy
This video has been out for almost half a year and I still love for it. Thank you all so much. And I thank you again each time I watch it.
Thank you for watching it! I'm glad it brings you any kind of joy 🖤
Well, that was beautifully done! Be proud! Be pleased!
Fantastic work! Very cleverly done, especially the transitions with Astrid and the 9. I can't imagine the amount of work that must have gone into making this.
Ahh, that was so beautiful! I adore this so much, I love all the hard work and attention to detail too. It’s super amazing!
I am getting all emotional with all the special moments you managed to catch so perfectly! :D I absolutely love everything about this!!!
This is so beautiful. Everyone involved should be so proud.
This is absolutely incredible. The amount of time, money, and detail in this is stunning. Great job, y'all.
Love this! I'm definitely subscribing
Hi person! The amount it time and effort you put into this piece is super impressive and I just wanted to let you know that you have produced something really cool! It was awesome to see all these moments brought to life. You and all your friends should be very proud! Hope that you are having a wonderful life :)
Thank you so much!
My gosh, I don't even know what to say, I'm in tears. BEAUTIFUL, beautiful work everyone, this might have been the most emotional and beautiful thing I've seen this year 😭❤️
Thank you so much!!
I come back to this video whenever I need some extra comfort. So perfect.
That's so lovely to hear, thank you so much 🖤
What the hell? I had no idea this was a thing? I can't believe I'm tearing up what a beautiful project of love!
I was so excited for this!! It lived up to all my expectations!! It was amazing and beautiful and just perfect! Great job!
This is so beautifully done and the emotional journey was so powerful I can’t explain how much I adore it
I love that you can really feel the friendship between the mighty nien in this. It doesn't just feel like actors playing a part but more like reliving and watching actually memories
When the arms appeared with the reveal, it was almost like that scene in Harold and Maud...
This gave me so so so many Caleb feelings and I bawled through the latter half so I'm going to need to watch it again so I can make sure I didn't miss anything. This is so beautifully done. From the song choice to the moments chosen to the way it's shot. I'm so happy your friends were there to push you to do this project. Caleb deserves it.
I really hope Liam and the crew sees this.
Thank you so much! Liam has seen and approved which was absolutely WILD, I think if anyone else responds I might faint! :'D
@@Electrospectrum I'm so glad to hear that he saw it! You guys did such a good job!
Very well made! I especially enjoyed the effects.
Omg! I love it! I’ve been really excited, waiting for it and the wait was definitely worth it! Thank you all for making this incredible CMV!!! ^-^
❤️💛❤️
WOW! I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!!!!! Trying hard hard to cry at work!!!!
I think what makes me love this so much (besides for all the obvious stuff like shots, editing, the music, the cosplay, etc) is how much wish fulfillment I get from seeing the nein in the real world.
In so many shots (particularly in the second half, alter the 2:30 mark), although the camera is focused on Caleb, you can see the nein behind him. It makes them feel real and while yes, this is about Caleb, its also a space for fictional characters to exist.
Things like Beau and Yasha flirting, Molly and Nott dancing, Jester running up to Fjord every third shot, Beau standing on a tree while she's talking to people, the clerics making their rounds, Yasha and Fjord walking together through a background, Beau and Cad meditating together, all of it is so god damn perfect!
this video absolutely made my day, it really captured the spirit of the M9! It makes me so happy!
you ever just cry about a sad wizard for an hour
Seeing the few scenes of Caleb and Molly... I miss Molly so much.
This is amazing! The small details of the other characters just hanging out in the background was a really nice touch. Can't stop watching this!
beautiful, so incredibly well done!
Fucking amazing, holy moly. Props to your amazing work
I dont have words for it 😭its a masterpiece honestly i love it so much (let me cry in my corner this is perfection) you all did such a great and wonderful job 😭👌👌👏👏👏
Electrospectrum back at it again with videos that knock me to the floor with their beauty
YOU GUYS?????!!!!! THAT'S SO BEAUTIFUL OH MY AAAAAAAAA
Story time: I've seen this video twice. The first time was before I had started watching Critical Role. Now I'm on episode 21 of campaign 2 and it feels so different. Now that I know the characters and I've seen some of their struggles (although I know there are more to come. I'm approaching episode 26 which... well, if you know, you know) and this video feels so raw and so real. The interactions between the characters are so genuine and the energy of the project is very true to the energy of Critical Role itself. I'm excited to revisit this once I've made it even further into the series. I think this is a truly beautiful work you've created.
Thank you so much 🖤 I'm glad you've been enjoying CR and it means a lot that you enjoy this too!
