- Finally finished this baby off! Wanted to pay homage to an amazing show by starting at the beginning.
Original Episode: • Curious Beginnings | C...
Music: Peter Crowley - A Tavern For The Night - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Jester picking up her chair to sit next to Nott and caleb was super adorable
And her wagging her tail
@@jackgrieco3192 IKR? Super cute ^3^
So cute and so energetic!
She would do that. If the show were animated! Which it's NOT! (I don't hate the first season for getting priority, it's what the show was built on, but, dammit, i want season two to get a pilot!)
@@IggyTthunders Its better to work on the first season so that way we have more of the second season to work with. :)
Everyone thinks Jester is the most adorable thing ever while I'm over here thinking Nott, played by a 43 year old man, is the cutest
Jack Jagger They’re both adorable
Double the cuteness with "fluffernutter".
An intellectual
Jack Jagger i would find nott the cutest thing on the planet if she had jester’s voice.
Jack Jagger Nott is the most adorable Jester is second pair them together and it’s priceless
"Its true! We have trouble seeing things that arent moving!"
**visible relief**
_"But I can hear you..."_
**P A NI C**
T. Rex in a nutshell
@@CoraCreatesYou've fallen victim to Jurassic Park propaganda
Okay, I need a reason to catch up on Critical Role
"Hi, I'm Jester."
...Yep, there it is.
to be honest, if Nott wasn't played by a assgrown man would be super adorable too, but then Wouldn't be Sam riegel the one playing her, and that would be more a loss than a win xD
@@niteliniN "assgrown man"
@@niteliniN What are you talking about, Nott IS super adorable...
@@niteliniN Well, and if she didn't have a super low charisma.
@@ChrisjayH1 Oh you can still roll it, just give a character with low charisma a weird quirk like social anxiety and pukes when get's nervous,
Jester: "Hi I'm Jester"
Every hero in a 20 mile radius: PLEDGE TO PROTECT!
PROTECT AND CARE!
KosmDidact and in that moment she became the best girl.
I PROTECT.
Tharok Hellscream: I Will Tear Out The Throats of Those Who Would Dare Harm Her With My Fangs! They Will Know The Bite of Gorehowl!
I'm a Tiefling mage with no defensive spell, I can't Protecc, but i can attac
@@NikSem65 dont worry im a zelot barbarian. I got their attention
I love all the different ways people animate Nott when she's listing the cons they can try.
Valashar me too! Sam is so great it’s so energizing to animate to him
Lol, I know. I'm always curious about what people think Rat Food was supposed to be.
Милая, это просто восхитительно! Желаю успехов и продолжения! С приветом из России ^^
Got links to other vids of this scene?
I find it funny, that everyone draw her really cute, when they narrate her to be... kinda moustrously ugly, thus the mask.
"Hi, I'm Jester!"
Caleb internally: So you see, that's where the trouble began. That smile. That damn smile.
If Widojest ever becomes a thing, it's going to be insanely cinematic that this was the first interaction those characters ever had.
@@samuelstensgaard4828 Alas.
@@samuelstensgaard4828 so mad that theyre not.
like deadass im a newer watcher, seeing their interactions since day 1, the chemistry was strong. they bounced so well off eachother, polar opposites in both personality, financial situation and interests and yet they try so hard to understand one another. they bring out wonderful sides of eachother that were otherwise unseen, they teach eachother lessons, keep eachother in check attitude-wise. i kinda spoiled myself by reading jesters wiki and seeing fjord listed as her boyfriend, so knowing that information seriously upsets me 😭
@@sticky288 definitely an opportunity stubbornly missed by Lauras irritatingly adorable agenda
The moment when Nott puts her mask on as soon as she realizes Jester is talking to them is like, the epitome of attention to detail, and I absolutely love it. So well done
hehe so glad you noticed ;)
I haven’t watched critical role in forever I’m sorry for asking but what does her putting on her mask mean
@@werewolftapus7630 Nott is a goblin in the middle of the Empire (where Goblins are not very welcome) so she has a porcelain mask she uses as a disguise while walking in public to conceal her goblin features and appear more halfling. She's just trying to hide her facial features.
His* he*
@@niolink954Нотт девочка
The "WHOOOOO!" at the end really sells her character!
the "SEVEN." was pretty good too
@@user-yo6jm8vw3q that was Beau Marisha's character lol
@@millo1095 There is no way they didn't know that. They're saying that the delivery of "SEVEN" by Marisha was an excellent set-up for Laura to react to, like an alley-oop in basketball.
I CAN'T STOP JUST BECAUSE I'M IMAGINING LAURA!
it helps that laura had already gotten to play as Jester in at least one other session to get a feel for her, everyone else was still settling into them.
and from there, Caleb couldn't decide if his life took a turn for the better or the worse
... Why not both?
Yes, it did.
@@troodon1096 Agreed.
The answer is YES
Worse. 100%
"Hi, I'm Jester"
**Caleb's little introverted heart begins to melt**
meanwhile, in scotland (specifically Limmy's show):
"Kill Jester."
[...]
"It's my money. It's my game. Kill a'."
"But-"
"Do it."
*Hesitantly """strangles""" Jingle*
"Jingle's dead. Game ova, thare's no more way to-"
"well worth it mate, well worth it." *hangs up*
@@XarathDominion I met Jingle at a charity do once. Surprisingly down to Earth, and very funny.
"how much silver did i just get?"
"Seven!"
"Wooohoo!"
-And that is the same Girl who later complains About never being so poor when she just made over a hundred Gold xD
Jester is an unusual individual.
@@GZilla311 Jester is Best.
@@seiggrainhart4719 Is that not what I said?
I thought she was robbing him to even out the numbers
The girl that tricked a god into existence
Jester, Fjord, and Beau is like the jock table
fjord, and beau I understand...but Jester?
She's an artist, overly nice and energetic, and likes cute things.
she would be ostracized into the weird kids table.
Nott and caleb would be the quiet kids
Fjord and Beau are the jocks. Jester is the cheerleader.
@@bretsheeley4034 What? Jester is ripped. Everyone forgets that at this point Jester had +3 strength, while Beau and Fjord didn't have +1 between them. Jester was Head Jock at the jock table.
@@monsieurlimpet I've seen some strong cheerleaders.
@@bretsheeley4034 Oh definitely. Cheerleaders are strong, but their strength is less pronounced and compact. They have useful muscles rather than show muscles.
The other two laughing at the table while Jester bugs Caleb and Nott is awesome. You always kind of think of them laughing as OOC, but the idea that they're trying their damndest not to burst into laughter as their companion does all this crazy shit is even better.
Yes, yes it is.
The celebration over 7 silver is pure enough on its own, but with the additional context that her mom is rich and realistically Jester has a lot of money too makes it that much better. It’s only 7 silver, but she earned it, and is therefore excited
Everything about Jester seems to be directed at making her adorable and fun. Her wagging tail, her fangs when she smiles, her sheer energy (probably from the baked goods!) I love Jester. Laura Bailey's best and most iconic role in my opinion.
I think that is indicative of how the "straight man" in a comedy duo is over looked. Vex was one of the "straight men" in Vox Machina, Grog and Scanlan largely stole the show.
I can't stand the character myself. Impatient, immature, demanding, rude, obnoxious, talking over other characters as they try to make the best decision while jester is demanding they take the least intelligent course of action possible. and the voice laura uses just kind of makes it worse. I'm aware I'm the minority, but damn how did I get so unlucky to hate the character so much while everyone else loves it? lol. Laura is great, but I really dislike this character. it's like nails on a chalkboard every time jester is in the spotlight.
A lot of animations of Critical Role but this screams talent and personality. Well done, if animating isn't your job, people are missing out.
HAHAHA.
Look at my pfp, that is me LAUGHING!
@@lucidmemez9634 Ah, a ray of sunshine I see
Did you see the Nott ear twitch?
@@hp2xp425 that i did! Its the little attention to detail like that that says "I care about my work, and will show it to the world!"
uhhhhhh WOW this is AMAZING, the movement and the personality is evident in every bit of this. i love that jester drags her chair to caleb and nott and the angle & look on her face when she introduces herself is SO fitting. and the way caleb and nott lean away from her at the end when she gets even closer?? fantastic. i'm going nuts this is such a gem
"Yeah, I'm sticking with this voice for the next two years."
"How much silver did i just get?"
"7"
"WOOO!"
wtf am i missing something here LoL
They were dividing money the three of them did on an off stream session to set up their characters. That's why they were talking about how to divide 4 gold between three people, they also had silver and copper.
7!
Also, Laura, sweet and stunning as she is, did play a very greedy character in series 1
I believe that the better she acted out her introduction the more silver she would've gotten.
@@aotearoa_goose3261 Nah, there was an actual amount of gold, silver and copper they all got to divide. 7 silver was the 3rd share of silver of what they got.
Wow, Caleb’s accent really has evolved since the first session. I barely recognized it.
Edit: Holy cow where'd all these likes come from?
He started with a vague germanic accent, then slowly started dialing in on German proper
Its either due to the fact that he revisited material to relearn it, or the fact is that liam is actually so keen on his character, that the accent you hear here is the one of him "hiding" his accent, he brought up that Caleb's masking of his accent was confronted and he said it was the mask, and now that he is out of the empire he could just be going into a real accent, instead of a faltered one since Caleb isn't going out of his way to hide his voice now.
MrBlazedice although it’s been established that caleb is total shit at accents but i think that was probably just a bit?
bells ELDREETCH BLAEEEST
MrBlazedice Liam has been very open about how much he experimented with the voice from episode to episode at the beginning, before settling on the voice he thought worked best. There wasn’t a big plan with how he used the voice; he just played around until it felt right.
The moment Jester cemented herself into position as my favorite character
They're all so great. It's hard for me to pick favorites.
@@please.stop.coping for me, personally. Caleb is my favorite with Jester being a very close second.
@@Vaxilion Caleb, Jester and Nott are the top 3, doesn't matter the order, they just are the top 3 and that's it, followed up right after Molly
Honestly i really like all of them, Caleb and Nott are def my fav 2, Jester is def 3, tied with molly
Jester, to Caleb: *softly* Nice to meet you!
Jester, to Beau: *loudly* How much silver did I just get?
Beau: Seven!
Jester: WOOO!!
“Hi, I’m Jester.”
Caleb: That’s were it started. That smile. That damn smile.
"Hi im Jester"
Mah heart, mah soul
Kill jester
@@Captain_Mercury CaptainFalconYes.wav
THAT TAIL MOMENT IS GREAT.
Like oh my god that small detail made everything so much better
I adored the small ear twitch from nott at 0:11
@@DaWasklyWabbit I didn't even notice that until you said it.
I love the smirk Jester gives Nott at 0:45. Like "Yeah totally we can't see things so good. But I can hear you plotting >:3"
I love how close Jester gets to Nott when she says “I can hear you”
well yes, she had to, Nott wasnt moving and tieflings got hard time to see things that arent moving
Why did they stop moving? Was it because she kills innocent people?
it feels like forever ago since these babies all met each other I love this so much!!! :D
I just started episode 1 today and am honestly really enjoying it cant wait to see how it goes
Jester taking the chair with her was a delightful touch
Jester: How much Silver did I just get?
Beau: Seven
Jester: WOOO!
XD gets me everytime
I love how Jester(Laura) just implies that Caleb (Liam) is smelly/dirty because he look disheveled and it just stuck. 🤣
This is so good! Your Jester is so cute 💛 And I always forget that Jester's and Caleb's friendship started with an insult.
all the best friendships start with insults
Bro this is incredibly well made
I love how each of them move, especially Nott kicking her feet under the table
I’ve just come back to this video after roughly two years because, after an ungodly amount of scrolling through my youtube history, I’ve determined that this animatic was the very first thing I ever saw to introduce me to Critical Role. I thank you for making this wonderfully done animation and for opening the door to this amazing fandom that means so much to me today. 😊
The way you make them move especially Jester’s (look at her tail OMG!!!) and Nott’s movements just captures their personality! Every little detail in this was greatly enjoyed down to the subtle actions like Beau and Fjord waving at them and all the little shifts in all of their expressions!❤️👌
KJSKLFJDSL THE CHARACTER ACTING IN THIS!! it's brilliant, wow. i adore her picking up the chair while shes still sitting in it to move closer. that was genius. also really nice consistent following of the 180 rule!!!!! very inspiring stuff, definitely a sub from meeeeeeee
What is the 180° rule?
@@30ART5 +1
@@30ART5 It's a film making thing. Basically it's about people interacting always being on the same side of the frame even if they leave and re enter it. It's a breakable rule but it helps with coherent visual story telling and it's a lot easier not to mess it around without good reason
@@30ART5 the 180 rule is a sort of guideline that states that characters should maintain consistent orientation on the screen to lessen confusion and make it easier to follow for the viewer! say if a character is shown to the right side of the screen, they should stay appearing on the right side of the screen. it's easier to explain with an image, and it makes More Sense why it's called the 180 rule when you can see a diagram, so i recommend giving a google if you're curious to learn more!
ocellifera great explanation!
"...And sixteen copper!"
Also, Jester will forever be the adorbs. Thank you for continuing this trend.^w^
"How much silver did I get?"
"Seven"
"Woo!"
Just here to point out Nott’s ear twitches when she says the word ‘hear’ and it’s precious (approx 0:14)
*10:00
Ohhhh my god that Nott ear twitch at the beginning is perfectly cute!!! Well done with everything!
I need.
The entire thing.
Done like this. Exactly this.
You're going to get more, this campaign apparently is going to get it's own series like VM did!
@@danielstephens1185 B a l l e r.
I love the moment of "It's true, we have a hard time seeing things that aren't moving...but I can hear you." It's like threatening and adorable at the same time!
I want this scene immortalized in the M9 Animated series.
This is so good. I just started watching it so I'm actually still at this part. It's great to get a visual.
This is, this is precious. I love this. You did the good art person. You did the real good. Thank you! The expressiveness is so on point it hurts.
Wait...
Did Nott just pour the vial of acid into Caleb’s cup
THANK YOU!!! Nobody mentioned it I thought I must've imagined it then I went back and rewatched and yup she did
rat poison actually. She said it as she was pouring it. as a way to get the other members.
Andrea Juneau well did she poor it in the cup though
I think she kept it closed, but made the movement to emphasize her point. Then she quickly put it back in her bag.
Haha thanks for noticing! It starts to drip like really thick poison and then before it drops off she pulls it back! She'd never hurt her baby, she's too dexterous for that ^_^
This animatic is what got me to give Critical Role a chance
Thank you.
Wow I've watched so many animatics of this moment but yours is SO good! I love the personality that shines through in each character, especially Nott when she's describing all their different cons
"Do I know Halfling?"
That long con.
when she introduces herself, my hear just... goes ting, its so adorable!
135ish episodes later, to Kingsley: "Hi, I'm Jester"
Would have been epic to cut out immediately after
I dont know a lot about Critical Role but Jester seems like a really great character :3
Turtle-Shell In a show full of great characters, she definitely stands out.
czcams.com/video/__YCOibJCXQ/video.html
A sweet little teddy bear...if you haven't pissed her off...*cough*Isharnai*cough*
I love how Caleb's reaction to both Nott and Jester is "I'm trying to finish my drink, just... please leave me alone".
Spoiler under the thing! (Kinda)
Watching this now knowing about Caleb is amazing. The fact that Liam stuttered when saying his name “it’s uh C-Caleb” plays so well into the fact it’s not his real name. “Its not my real name. It’s just the name I gave you” phenomenal foresight by Liam. Love his acting.
I have watched this a thousand times in a row, there's just so much to it and it's so fantastic. Thank you so much for your hard work and time to create such a master piece
I don't care how many times this scene gets animated, it's always great to see.
This was one of the best animations of this series I've seen. I love the movement, body language, facial expressions, everything. Keep it up!
Me: Alrighty, I need a reason to start watching Critical Role.
Jester: Hi, I’m Jester
Me: There it is.
"Hi I'm Jester..."
That smile... it started with that damn smile
*No but seriously SHE MUST BE PROTECTED*
God this is so amazing?!? I really like the way you draw Caleb and the little details (like Nott’s eat twitching and Jester’s tail) really bring this animatic together!! I also really like how you did their facial expressions!!
Thank you!!
Two years ago the algorithm showed this video out of the blue.. now I seen all C2 and follow C3 and TLOVM and loved every moment
The moment Caleb heard Hi I’m Jester he knew this would be the only person he could hopelessly love
Hi, yes, I loved everything about this. From the character designs to the quirks and ticks that perfectly portrayed their personality. You're awesome and I hope you have a lovely day!
Fun fact: I watched this episode when I started playing dnd to learn how to “properly” roleplay. This chaos was my introduction to DnD.
This is a perfect storyboard for this moment.
Do more!
More!
The world needs it!
It was this animation that got me into Critical Role and D&D in general. Thank you
Same here
this animation inspired me to finally try and listen to critical roll i've always been put off by just how long the episodes are but how you animated the characters really made me excited to learn more, it's been two days but im working my way through the first episode and loving it so far!
1:20, Damn, Jester is SO cute right there.
AND SIXTEEN COPPER
aren’t y’all jealous
I love these! You do such a great job!
0:08 SHE'S SOOOOO ADOOORABLE!!!!! From her feet dangling to the changes in expression and chaotic body. That's a masterclass in animation, so damn good 👏. I also love how they started separate, it gives a whole new dynamic, is two friends or partners hanging with new people but not exactly a crew.
That was the cutest 'Hi' I've ever heard
I've just gotten into CR, only on episode 9 rn. This is such an amazing animation, so many small things I love, such as the others laughing as Jester introduces herself, or Nott acting out each con idea.
That was lovely! Thank you for creating this!!
some of the best animation ive seen for each of the characters!
And now this is going to be truly animated. Full hijincks and all
I'm JUST getting into Critical Role and that chair walk was SOOOO CUTE AND CREATIVE
I also super loved all the cute faces you managed to pull off in just "Hi, I'm Jester!"
This is awesome! Really well thought out. I love it!
I want you to know: I saw this animation before I even knew what Critical Role was. I liked this animation so I then later on checked what the source was and then you got me into CR.
4 Years later and I'm still a critter and I've got you to thank.
This is great! Love how you show Jester's playfulness and Caleb's awkwardness.
I dont know why i love this one so much, but i keep coming back randomly to watch it.
such an adorable work! thank you so much :) I already watched it five times today, because I love all the detailed movements and your drawing!
This is amazing! Every movement and expression is full of personality! Definitely one of my favourites! ❤
I think this is my favorite animation of this scene ever, every character was absolutely divine in their body language
LOVE THE ANIMATION!!! This is awesome, now you need to animatic the whole adventure, lol. Hell, id pay for it. Espicially with your anime-esque style!
This is absolutely AMAZING! You have sooooooo much talent! The way they moved was very natural and the different FOVs were well timed and plotted.
This is so lovely! I need more of your animatics. You capture their personalities so well in a cartoony context.
1:32 is the face that I must protect. Such a happy gorl.
"hi im Jester"
the great DM in the sky: roll against being charmed at a -40 disadvantage TOOSLOWYOULOSE!!
me: nggh! my heart!!
Completely fantastic. One of the best animatics of this scene I've ...seen. Great touches in the acting animations - the chair wobbledrag is priceless, as is the WOO! :D
This is honestly amazing work. I cant wait to see more.
Jester celebrating about her 7 silver is the MOST ADORABLE THING!
I love that you made jester shake hands with empty air just like Laura did in the episode when Liam didn't try to take her hand ahhahaha
I am OBSESSED with this I hope you make some more this is so good!!!!!!!
Wow I’m in awe at how well this is made. From the art to the audio being chopped up so that it’s one singular scene. Amazin
look...
at...
THE TAAAAAAAAAIAIAAIL!!!!!
This will be the best scene when it'll get animated
I was thinking the exact same thing.
The way this is animated is just the absolute best. What an amazing job.
Amazing how this turned out to be one of my favorite videos on yt, pure joy
