  • Hi all!
    I had to do a found sound animatic for my storyboard class, so I decided to re-visit an episode of TMA I've always wanted to animate.
    I am about half way done with a CR animation i've been working on for a LONG time. mostly on and off, but I'm done with the hardest parts

    I haven’t listened to this episode yet but I can’t stop fucking laughing at the fact that Helen just casually turns the entire dimension around every time Jon tries to smite her- it’s like going on a carnival ride

    My theory - When Jon said "Hellen, was that a lie?" he was in fact bluffing. But it was enough to make Helen scared, when he talks about this strand, this thread, this genuine untruth, he is just embellishing it to sell her on it. Once she feels fear, that's it, the eye can feel that fear and lock itself on.
    Likewise, when Gertrude gave Michael the "impossible map" to lead to the center of the spiral...she too was lying. She couldn't map the place from never having been inside, but Michael trusted her SO much, that when she lied and said she had a map, he believed it.
    After all, what's the spiral to do in response to a lie? Tell the truth? that's against its nature. If he thinks the map works, to prove it wrong would be to reveal to it truth....both Gertrude and Jon trap the spiral into a position where it can either lie and destroy itself, or be honest and live.

    Ooo, the background as Helen's hallways starting disappearing was so gorgeous. And the imagery of the lie as the thread was so pretty!! Lovely animatic this was so cool :D

    It does give my heart a little pang that the last thing she says is Jon...

    This is so good. The weaving, the hallway twisting, Jons hair, the way it is staged and framed.

    This is my favourite part of the Magnus Archives. The way how we’ve known the character of distortion Helen, and how from one simple lie, Jon unravels its very being.

  • @OhHoneeBee
    @OhHoneeBee Рік тому +54

    Oh my god... the shifts in perspectives where jon falls, the bit where he's pulling the thread, the expressions, its all genius. I love this so much

  • @sparkledwater5545

  • @racoon_in_ankhmorpork
    @racoon_in_ankhmorpork Рік тому +39

    Wow, this is… _wow._
    The characters’ designs are pretty much exactly how I imagine them; the attention to detail was astounding; the expressions were fluid and on point.
    Wow.

  • @siratlas8198
    @siratlas8198 Рік тому +66

    what the FUCK this is so good !!! Kind of random but i really like how you portrayed Helen's domain shifting and how the Archivist falls through the confusing space. You really nailed the vibes and architecture (or lack thereof) of Helen's corridors. I also love the expressions you gave the characters, they are very well done

  • @russthestone5330
    @russthestone5330 2 роки тому +126

    Maybe my favorite moment in the whole podcast, and it's the first TMA animatic I've ever seen!
    BRAVO! It was AMAZING!
    I had imagined those shuffling noises as the room shaking/flickering and it suddenly being someplace new, but turning hallways make so much more visual-sense!
    I especially loved your depiction of Helen. Her design perfectly aligned with her demeanor, and you perfectly captured her character in the expressions and body language.
    It felt like I was experiencing it for the first time...
    Recognizing her lie a MOMENT before Jon calls it out, and hoping that the mechanics of the world are abstract enough that THIS singular misstep will be enough of a focus to unravel her... and oh how bittersweet it is. Loved her and hated her; She was exactly... Herself.

  • @crypticandchoatic
    @crypticandchoatic Рік тому +1

    this is fantastically made. the angles and the desgins. outside of that I just realized there could be an alternate universe where all that's left is Jon and Helen and I find that very funny for some reason.

    To be honest, I kind of feel bad for Helen. All it did was help him, like give him doors, occasionally advice, was nice in general, and was probably one of the very few monsters who wanted to kill Jon. And he still just wouldn't trust it and because of him, their possible friendship ended up falling apart faster than an IKEA sofa.
    (Jsyk I haven't watched past Watcher's Crown ritual bit yet so idk if anything's changed. idk, I'll probably be back 🤪)
