- Hi I am back from the dead after 7 long, long months! This was supposed to take two months max but ended up taking the better half of a year instead, but what can ya do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is the longest project that I've ever worked on and, though I can't say I'm completely happy with it, I'm just really relieved that it's finally done. That being said, PLEASE slap some sense into me if I ever even think about doing anything like this again. PLEASE. I love the ideas my brain provides but this was just...too much...(I did really enjoy watching the final product though)
P.S. I just wanted to clarify that a lot of scenes that occur in this animatic are not chronological. There were some scenes that were kinda difficult to work with and I just wanted a good narrative flow that goes with the song ok
Thank you to Emily for hearing me out while I ranted about this animatic. I don't think this would have existed without ya

I've always thought of the Lonely as a metafor for depression - you don't even need to be alone, the feeling of isolation is enough. But it's not always indifference and emptiness - sometimes it's a storm and a fight for control in one's life and no one on the deck who can help. I also really liked how you did the waves! Such a good work!
Thank you! Martin being alone on the ship as a metaphor for his struggle against The Lonely was one of the very first concepts I thought of for this animatic, and I’m glad that this idea stuck around after all these months! I’m really happy that you enjoyed the animatic ❤️
@@bassacaglia9434 Aye, that was a great choice! Plus it unlocked a secondary metaphor with the wisps of fog swirling around Martin/Peter Lukas being appropriate both to The Lonely and to a nautical environment.

It's literal supernatural depression. Nice.
The moment where Martin is in his office alone and the ship is in the portrait on the wall, but after Jon is left standing in there by himself the ship is gone and all that’s left in the painting is the waves... that’s brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I love this whole animatic and you’ve made such incredible connections and art.
''Life is like an elevator. In happy moments it goes up, when you're in bad moments it goes down. Depression is when you're trapped at the basement, and when you try to call the maintenance guy, you realize YOU'RE the maintenance guy''.
-Bref, episode 80 ua-cam.com/video/DwfwmxOF_3E/v-deo.html
Idk, it made me think of that quote
I made a simple connection seeing the end of this animatic. It's fitting that The Archivist, the one with the power to see all is the one that helps Martin finally feel seen.
It does help me cope with the pandemic thinking it's just one massive ritual of the Lonely. If I'm going to suffer I'd at least like it to be feeding a dread power.
(Also BEAUTIFUL art btw. One of the BEST MAG animatics out there)
Lonely and Corruption collab!
@@emilyfallaw5912 the remix XD
This is the comment that convinced me to listen to tma
I heard this song a couple months ago and immediately thought of the tma connection!! You delivered it so well!!
Yesss I’m glad that I’m the only one! I heard this song late one night last summer and immediately thought it had big Martin energy
This is the second time this song has broken me due to a character association, this is absolutely superb I’m in tears
what was the first character ?
@@radioghoul2353 one of my dnd characters
@@timberfins must have been one hell of a campaign and character
@@radioghoul2353 oh absolutely. she was the only person who stuck with her captain during a mutiny and she's now grappling with the fact that he was a pretty garbage person and definitely working with the BBEG
@@timberfins woah thats super weird im listening to a show that has a episode that is really similar to this
ok this whole thing is gorgeous and heartbreaking but i *really* love how you drew the waves-- there's a real sense of movement there despite the fact that all we're seeing is still frames, it's really impressive
I don't know anything about the Magnus Archives franchise however this animatic alone is making me want to dive in with such excitement as to who these characters are. I'm in love with your style!!!
I legit started crying at the Burried/coma parallel!! Thank you so much for this, it is absolutely awesome!!
That moment with The Buried and all of the tapes was perfect. This whole thing is gorgeous ♥️
That was amazing! Congratulations! We can really feel Martin's headspace in your illustrations! And the allegory of the ship in a bottle is perfect for the circumstances. (I loved how even when he's in the "real world", there is still a picture of a boat in his office)
And everything, from the grief or Tim and Sasha, then their photo floating in the sea with only Martin visible, to the tomb (of his mother I guess) and then the parallel between the hospital bed and the coffin, emphasizing how much Martin was scared to loose Jon AGAIN, ... *chef kiss*
Oh gosh thank you so much!! You have no idea how happy I get when people pick out all the little things I put in the animatic
Clicked on this so fast, I love this song. Love the bit where Martin finds the coffin and it flickers back to when Jon was in a coma, literally made me gasp
This hurts. Doesnt help i HAVE martin living in my head now
omg I love the moment when the coffin flashes to Jon in hospital, just illustrating perfectly Martin's thoughts in that moment
I saw this animatic because my sister recommended the song to me. It was what first got me into the Magnus archives, and I’m now listening to season five. I came back and rewatched this video today, and I now understand everything and it’s absolutely beautiful. I can’t even describe how much i love this. Thank you so much for introducing me to TMA and for this incredible art.
this is my favorite magnus archives animatic and that’s saying a lot. it absolutely gorgeously captures the entire feeling of s4 and martin’s turmoil. this is actually what i found first, bc i liked the song and then looked up tma, so thank you, because this got me into one of the best things ever
PLS i was watching this to take a quick break from homework and ended up bawling my eyes out, this was too good 😭😭😭
I quite literally gasped when I saw this pop up in my recommended feed! I love this song and TMA so much and the way you drew this is literally stunning. I love the focus placed on Martin's eyes/vision throughout, your drawings of the ocean are so well done, and every single frame in this is genuinely a masterpiece. This is genuinely probably my favourite animatic, not just for TMA, and I will be rewatching it a ton because I think it's utterly brilliant!
I love how the image at 1:29 looks, also I really like how the lonely takes shape. The switching between the coffin and coma Jon is also really cool and I love the parallels that are drawn there (really made me think).
I just noticed the claws on Daisy! Awesome!
I have to add my voice to the chorus of praise this has received. It's one of the best animatics I have ever seen. Period. The way you show The Lonely and how it effects Martin throughout season 4 is heart wrenching and beautiful. I've watched this fifteen times today. There aren't enough words to articulate how _good_ it is.
I'm not crying, I have dust in my eyes. Nothing to do with it.
YEAH!!!!! Someone used this song for TMA!! This whole thing was an amazing work of art! All the moments just built up really well.
the first time i watched this animatics it was a while since i listened to the Magnus Archives, so i didn't get a lot of the subtle hints that i only just caught on now that i've relistened to Season 4. It is BEAUTIFUL
and then they live happily ever after and that's it nothing else happens
This is true! I was the cabin
This animatic is absolutely gorgeous-- the ship/ocean scenes are incredibly impressive, and I love all the detail in the way you draw all the characters as well as just the way the lonely looks curling around Martin. It's also incredibly impressive thematically, the song really works for this and the flashing between the coma and the coffin was perfect, especially that moment where Martin is kneeling in front of the coffin with the recorders almost as though he's praying. Just amazing!
(also this is yet another awesome song ive discovered through tma animatics so thank u)
Thank you for your words of appreciation!!
As ridiculous as it sound this animatic is actually the reason I got into tma, I really liked the song, so I checked to see if there were any animatics or stuff made with the song. I saw this and after checking tma out, gave it a try. Now it's around 7 months later and I finished the show on Christmas. Thanks for making this, I wouldn't how found this show otherwise :)
I don’t think this is ridiculous at all! I’m really glad that I was able to introduce you to TMA through my animatic. Hope you enjoyed the ride!
MARTIN the love of my life he is so beautiful and he deserves better i love the way you draw him!! also the flashing between the coffin and jon in the coma KILLED ME DEAD that looked so good
Whoa, moons above! This is gorgeous. The waves and storm, the ship, the raw feeling strained into threads woven throughout the song and art- it was all so BEAUTIFUL.
This is amazing! I especially loved the part where it flashes from Jon in the coffin to him in the coma, super cool!
This is the first time I've actually cried at something tma related. I've definitely been sad, but this just got to me in a way not much has. Great job! I'm gonna go try to collect myself again lol
Okay update: I listened to MAG 200 and I definitely cried at that :(
I'm back to point out another tiny detail!!
"anchor all your thoughts to the bottom" *picture of birthday party drowning in the sea*
Yessss finally someone gets it
Beautiful omg the artwork and the scene design absolutely stunning, this captures the lonely so perfectly and beautifully. And the incredible amount of detail in the tma connections!
You are SO GOOD at animatics - this video was such a joy to watch! I love the song choice, color palette, expressions, all of it! I’ll definitely be rewatching this :)
Aww thank you!! 🥺🥺🥺 This honestly took so long but I’m so glad people enjoy it
@@bassacaglia9434 Definitely well worth it - thank you for putting in so much time to creating something so awesome!
This is so powerful. The symbolism with the boat is awesome, it works so well for both the song and character. I love 2:50 a lot, the focus of it is very striking.
This is THE perfect song for Martin & one of the most beautiful animatics I've seen for this show. Thank you
Kicking myself for not watching this sooner, this is superb
This is so good!! The movement is incredible and my GOD THE COFFIN/COMA PARALLEL!!
3:08 omg this scene is absolutely incredible!
Thank you sm for Martin's perspective, he is such a great character to observe and your work did it amazingly❤
Thank you for making this animatic. I saw it appear on my timeline when it first came out and, not knowing what TMA was or even the song, I decided to click it. This amazing animatic introduced me to a wonderful song which represented my feelings and an amazing horror podcast I am listening to for the 4th time right now. It is wonderfully made and I'm so glad I can look back on it and be able to point out things I didn't understand on my first viewing.
Thank you, and have a good day.
oh my god I love this so much, the lonely as a metaphor for depression and how it affects Martin and DONT GET ME STARTED WITH THE BURIED COMA THING, I LOVE THIS
My current fave song with my all time fave podcast/horrorstory?!?! HECK YEEEE
And MY LAWD this is
Just
Art
Masterpiece
DAMN
It's good
Thank you
This song fits him so well. This is incredible!
this is GORGEOUS I love that you actually drew Martin in a bottle with the glass cracking just....SUCH A GOOD JOB!!
How amazing!!! I love season 4 and this song works so amazingly? I really fell in love with it, I'm gonna listen to it all day, haha. Great video, I already know I'm gonna come back to this a lot!
this looks AMAZING! Seriously, the colours, the designs, the transitions, the lyrics...It's so well put together!
This is amazing!! This song is such a perfect fit for Martin in season 4, and the parallels between the buried and Jon’s coma bed gave me chills. I love this animatic so much and I can’t wait to watch it again
This is so well done, and the song fits Martin perfectly. I love everything about this video!!!
HOLY SHIT!!! This is incredible! this was just in my recommend and I'm so glad i saw it... I’m SO impressed that all of this is in color and every panel is so detailed … amazing job!
Fav bits:
- The picture at the beginning ... I will never not be sad when someone draws parallels with s1 archives gang to how things turn out later
- The entire first part where Martin is on the boat is SO well done? Those juicy juicy water physics … when I was first watching it I was like yup that’s a cool action packed boat scene :) but actually it takes so much work to draw a scene like that well... with having both the boat itself and the movement/appearance of the water look so good…mad kudos to you. (The frame at 1:58 also looks very nice I just love when people capture the foaminess of water like that lol)
- Going off that, the background work in all the frames (like in the archives etc) is also really well done! and the way you structured/transitioned/edited everything just looks so good
- even the contrast between Melanie getting support/help from Georgie and Martin going off on his own...oof
- AT 3:10 … THE PARALLEL WITH JON IN THE COFFIN AND IN THE COMA? HELP thats so clever! I got chills at that bit it totally took me by surprise
- I know this is a Martin centric vid but I love how you draw Jon…pretty jon rights (I want to give him a hug)
- Peter Lukas dissolving into the Lonely when Jon Sees him is very satisfying, I really liked those frames! and how you drew the fog in general
Anyways, this was super well executed and I really enjoyed watching it! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you🥺🥺🥺 Gosh I love it when people point out all the little details and the parts they enjoyed. It just makes your work feel that much more appreciated❤️
Also I tried to make Jon look as good as I could with all the art skills I could muster. Just because you’re rescuing your beloved from The Lonely doesn’t mean you have to do it without style ;)))
OH GOSH I WAS TEARING UP THE ENTIR E TIME WITH THIS!!! THE IMAGERY WITH THE MUSIC!! THIS WAS FELT SO STRONGELY T-T
I've been so obsessed with this song for the past couple weeks and finding an TMA animatic for it that fits so perfectly and is so beautifully done??? Absolute heaven thank you
i'm fucking ugly crying this stabbed me right through the heart
I was never certain if TMA was for me until I saw this animatic. Not joking I'm going to start watching rn and a lot of it it's because of this
Oof, the coffin/coma parallel scene made me literally gasp, that was just soooo well done.
I have been seeing this video constantly. It's so beautifully done. Everything fits in just right. I have literally no words I'M IN LOVE with this. It's art
Wonderful, am at a loss for words to express how amazing this is
3:08 gave me actual chills. holy shit
I cannot get over how good this is. Thank you so much it’s so beautiful
This is absolutely gorgeous and made me feel truly so many things. Your art style is incredible, the narrative flow is SO good. Really really really well done!
This is the one that got me into the Magnus Archives in the first place. I both thank you and hate you for this amazing journey. Your art is brilliant.
how dare you hurt me like this
I love this so much! I just finished listening to season 4 this week and I've been really into this song a few months ago, you made it go together so well!
My favorite song at the moment
This was fucking gorgeous and so powerful. Everything matched so perfectly with the song and I know nothing about the Magnus Archives but I still got chills down my spine.
This definitely made me feel things. I loved this so much.
THIS IS THE BEST THING IVE EVER SEEN YOU ARE INCREDIBLE IT DESERVES DO MUCH ATTENTION
This was so lovely and touched my heart. Beautiful graphics and music went so well with this 💗
Wow, something to cry to while watching on repeat. Mmmmm martin is just a conduit for me to express my depression and loneliness because damn do i relate hard to him.
This is amazing!! You deserve so much more attention man
I am utterly blown away by this holy shit, this is phenomenal i love it so much
AAAAA I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH,,,,, AND TO SEE IT IN EXCELLENT ANIMATION LIKE THIS!!! AAH!
this is amazing!!!! really brings me the feels
I completely forgot about this amazing song and it fits Martin so so well! Definitely putting it in the tma playlist I’m developing.
And your art was absolutely stunning in this! My favorite things: the buried/coma parallel (inspired!), the bit where Peter’s resisting Jon, and then best of all was Martin’s eyes changing back to blue when he Sees Jon!
your art style is stunningly beautiful. amazing.
This is stunning.
this is absolutely gorgeous!!! all the little details are incredible,,,,,, you did a really great job :)
This was amazing!! I love the details in every single shot and the song is perfect!!
Man this has been in my watch later for so long and boy am I glad I finally watched it. It is SO beautiful!! Like damn, you really did just animate an entire 5 minute song and managed to make every single frame an artistic masterpiece on its own. The emotional emphasis flows so perfectly with the song, I am absolutely entranced by this. Thank you for putting so much work into making this, it is truly beautiful.
This is incredible!! :D Time well spent! Everything moves so well and the emotion is on point! :D
starts watching because holy shit yes this song went straight on my tma playlist when I first heard it
also me: why are you already about to cry
This is SUCH a cool animatic, though I also can imagine the song fitting with John's character, with the self-imposed isolation while being paranoid about Not!Sasha and his metaphor for his powers being like water on the other end of a door all making good fits for the song.
Okay the coma/coffin parallel REALLY got me
Holy fuck. The way this made me break out in goosebumps- I am so in love with every part of this animatic. The artstyle, the emotions reflected on the faces of the characters, the character designs themselves, oh my lord- this is brilliant! Fucking brilliant! I can’t even type is a masterpiece. Have a lovely day dear artist, because this made mine so much better.
Thank you so much for this! I’m not sure you know this, but this comment really made my day❤️❤️❤️
Wow this was phenomenal
OH MY GOD AND THE FLASHING PARALLELS BETWEEN THE COFFIN AND JON IN HIS COMA BC MARTINS ONCE AGAIN SO WORRIED ABOUT HIM AND WANTS TO HELP OH MY GOD
Absolutely heartbreaking and brilliant.
So good! I love all the detail you've put into this.
OH MY GOD THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE TMA AMV EVER YOU ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT
Your water animation is so good!!
this made me cry
Martin, this is why you have to attend your Crew lessons
Greatly underrated
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You can fit everything you know
In a bottle for you to show
Pick your brain apart and put it in (pick your brain apart)
And build it again with needles and pins
Everything you have earned is a ship
With blue waves crashing into it
But nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore (nothing can touch your happy thoughts anymore)
With your glass ceiling, walls, and floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
Anchor all your thoughts to the bottom
Pulling ropes and pulling your head back
To see what is breaking the foremast
You set sail alone, there is no crew
No one on the deck who can help you
This is all your own battle to win
This is your ship, and you are the captain
[Chorus]
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, captain, oh, captain, deal
Oh, captain deal, oh, captain deal
Oh woah
[Verse 2]
There are red spots under your eyes
From when you cry into the sky
Ocean waters rising above your neck (ocean waters)
You feel the glass start to crack
[Pre-Chorus]
Sailing on a ship in a bottle
Water's leaking through holes in the bottom
Flying flags of ships that have long since
Sat at the floor of the sea, but in defense
You set sail alone, there is no crew
No one on the deck who can help you
This is all your own battle to win
This is your ship and you are the captain
[Chorus 2]
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
Oh, captain, make up your mind
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
'cause you're popping the cork, you get lost in your brain
And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, captain, oh, captain, deal
Oh, captain deal, oh, captain deal
Oh woah
[Bridge]
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Chorus 2]
Oh, captain, let's make a deal
Where we both say the things that we both really feel
I feel scared and I'm starting to sink
And I only sink deeper the deeper I think
Oh, captain, make up your mind
Before the salt burns your eyes and you run out of time
'cause you're popping the cork, you get lost in your brain
And you lose touch with all the things that made you feel sane
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, captain, oh, captain, deal
Oh, captain deal, oh, captain deal
Oh woah
[Outro]
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
When someone combines two things you like and it just makes your brain go !!!!!
Okay, I love this whole thing. But this frame. 1:29 this frame. It fucks me up so bad. Because that is exactly what The Lonely feels like. Paralyzing, hollowing fear. Knowing this is all you can do and it won't be enough no matter how hard you try and wouldn't it be easier to just give up.
This is stunning! I know nothing about this universe but consider me intrigued. You have such an amazing grasp of spatial concepts and fluidity of motion, and the way you depicted the ship is exactly the way I had it in my mind-animatic! Nice work!
Thank you so much!! I know that missing the context might make watching this a bit confusing, but I’m so glad that you enjoyed it!
This was gorgeous!
YESSS SOMEONE FUCJING DID IT THANK U UR A BLESSING
Super amazing. Like, wow. In awe rn.
