Evil Eye - Magnus Archives Animation

Flashing lights/slight strobe effect warning!
Happy TMA finale day! Despite what it says in the credits of the video, this is an animation, not an animatic. Spoilers only for up until around season 3-ish
I animated on 6-12 fps depending on which section. Thanks so much for watching!

[@KK-hx8mk]

The scene with Tim's snarky, shit-eating grin and Not-Sasha watching from the shadows is just 👌.

[@spacerockband]

ah thank you so much!! i’m glad people are catching that part it was a very fun detail to include

[@f_mva]

the movement...... it's so fluid..... i will rewatch this 2000 times...

[@spacerockband]

:D ahhaaa thank you!!

[@sydneykysar7895]

This animation is phenomenal, the transitions and use of light made my brain go brrrrrr

[@spacerockband]

thank you!! the lighting was really fun to play with, bc most of my other animation stuff is just line work, and i wanted to do more strong contrasts for this one!

[@leomorris7573]

ugh this is so good its making me crazy. the like 3 frames of tims passive aggressive smile characterize him in season 2 so well i cant deal with this

[@spacerockband]

THANK YOU i spent extra time on all three(lol) of tim’s frames to make sure he looked as passive aggressive as humanly possible

[@lydiahoward1382]

You've got some lovely visual weight on the axe swing! (: Just really wanted to point out that since I think it's my favorite frames.

[@spacerockband]

i mentioned this on another reply too that that part was very fun i had the picture in my head for so long before i actually animated it! i messed with the timing n drew & deleted new inbetweens a whole bunch on that axe part and i’m glad it turned out well!! thank you so much!

[@rubyj3287]

Holy crap, this is amazing. The transitions and those eyes at the end just...perfect.

[@spacerockband]

ahh thank you so much!! i loved working on the transitions !!

[@luckynumberme3188]

the transitions are so smooth and captivating!! I absolutely love how you use light and negative space. the little Elias eye open was so delightfully spooky! also Jon's expression broke my heart, really really lovely work, mate

[@crowbrainzz]

0:40 w the eyes was so chilling 👌👌

[@spacerockband]

i’m so glad!! this was one of the very first images i had in my head when coming up with this animation and i’m glad that creepiness came across :)

[@thebathroom6327]

The wings and crown you gave Jon at the end look really good, also this shit is smooth as all hell

[@dumatki]

God the visualization is so GOOD I love the transitions between shots

[@spacerockband]

thank you!! the lighting and transitions were so fun to play with - i think gerry and gertrude burning the frame was the first transition i came up with !

[@heritage6587]

Wow this is definitely among the best magus archives animations out there

[@aino2835]

I'M SO HAPPY SOMEONE MADE AN AN ANIMATIC WITH THIS SONG and a great one at that! these transitions are insane I love them so much

[@asterphy]

The movement works so well, the exaggeration of everything it 👌

[@sarahtoews8466]

That was SO well done! The shot with gertrude and jerard! Uuuugh I love this.

[@sorchagibson7765]

Gosh this is great, I hope more people see it!!!
Obviously the way you transition into different shots is so smooth and well synced but I also really adore the facial expressions. They really add even more life if that's even possible :) !

[@spacerockband]

this is so kind i appreciate it so much!! yes facial expressions are probably one of my favorite things to do in animatics and comics!!

[@tangerine1884]

OMG. OMG. this is AMAZING. i’m literally screaming this is fantastic and i love the song choice and your animation MWAH

[@djoctobeat5204]

WOAGH this is fantastic!! Very smooth and fits the song very well! Moment of appreciation for the way 0:46 makes me think of a biblically accurate angel, with all the eyes forming a sort of multi-winged shape around Jon’s head. Probably just me, but I still think it’s cool!

[@joana6020]

PERFECT CHOICE OF SONG i loooove the editing, this is SO COOL

[@damekkoDark]

[@aubreycolburn9803]

The opening sequence was so good! I loved how you kept up the theme with light and eyes. It really pulled this whole thing together and I loved it so much. Especially the part with Tim and not-Sasha. Beautiful.

[@sknfmsmr]

[@grassbreads]

Oh this is Extremely good. There's so much *weight* in the way you animated Jon swinging that axe. Love it

[@spacerockband]

i had that image in my head for ages!! i messed with the timing drawing new inbetweens and changing around the frame rate SO much to get that timing right im so glad you like it!!!

[@lalas181]

[@BrainsArt]

This is so awesome!!! I love this so much :D

[@emilyw8926]

[@crowbrainzz]

[@randomjester9983]

WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
'tis amazing :DDD

[@foolsagacity]

This is so pretty and smooth!

[@spacerockband]

thank you so much!!

[@nacho6438]

the scene at 0:40 is so unsettling

[@royce6485]

For some reason I expected “Electric Eye” by Judas Priest to play even though I know it’s not hip with the kids

[@spacerockband]

lol guess i have to add a new song to my TMA playlist!

[@royce6485]

@@spacerockband its great! Old school metal. The singer Rob Halford has one of the best voices in the world, so if you don’t like metal then its at least impressive to listen to if nothing else. He still sings like he’s 20 even though he’s 70 now
