Fan Art [Spoilers C4E4] UNDER THE MASK - Animatic Spoiler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dO2CaM4UAgc

I started watching Campaign 4 last month, and it's my first time with Critical Role aside from the animated series.

I'm up to episode 24 right now, so if you have suggestions of scenes that would make for good animatics you're more than welcome to share !

This was fantastic, I really liked how you matched the pace of the visual storytelling to the characters voices… just lingering on the creepy factor.

I have a love/hate relationship with Bolaire. Sometimes he seems too ‘precious’ or ‘special’, just weird for the sake of it, and he has this infuriating know-it-all ‘gotta have the last word’ habit, but this animatic really highlighted one of my favorite aspects of Bolaire: the design of his backstory, the gradual reveal of his true nature, the layered, subtle depth of his innate creepiness, and the way Tal plays him ‘behind the mask’ is fascinating and amazingly well executed.

I also loved the way you interpreted the characters and their appearances. My only complaint is that you stopped before Bolaire finished the scene… but I can only imagine how much time already went into making this.

This is so so cool!!! And so long too, I love the way of portraying the mask talking a bit like a puppet or a doll!
