- Hey this is my first animatic! This originally started as an assignment for class but I've only recently been able to finish it. This is the scene that actually got me into watching Fantasy High and Dimension 20 in the first place so I wanted to do a lil somthin somthin for it :)
Tumblr: @nott-gay - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I still think a physical manifestation of a characters personal insecurities is the coolest enemy idea ever
i would *love* to do this at some point as a dm, sadly tho my players dont really *do* the whole roleplay thing, and dont have deep characters
@@thatonesentientbagel4043 weed it out, create an encounter with a hag or something that can sorta syphon it out of em. Or not, depends if the players are cool with that or if theyll just try to kill it
You only beat it by becoming a better person. Double win!
@@thatonesentientbagel4043 get better players
You’d love the call of Cthulhu system then
"YOUR ROMÀÉNCE PARTNÉR DESERVES BETTER TREATMENT RIZ!"
Tratment*
@@aidanmornell2749 yes, thankyou lol
Yo they did. Baron asked him on a date and he shot them. After he called them ugly.
@@aidanmornell2749 Trätmǝnt
@@juliansmeeth-serrano4299 You’re right, all they did was pop in for a surprise visit. Just to say hi and for no other malicious reason at all
I have never watched fantasy high. I’m gonna cry. Why is this evil skeleton boy hurting that 1920s goblin boy. What the fuck is going on. This is amazing
The goblin boy lied about having a romænce partner and it manifest
Go watch - Dimension 20. This is from the second season. You won't regret.
More specifically, it's Fantasy High: Sophomore Year.
Just pointing this out because Dimension 20 is an anthology series, which can make navigating by seasons kinda tricky.
riz gukgak (the gobin boy) made up a pretend boyfriend/girlfriend to avoid being the only person in the group who wasnt interested in kissing people, he called them baron from the baronies, and this skeleton character is like a manifestation of his insecurities
@@samaxion93 I mean Adine isn't interested in anyone either
"As you creep, you immediately know that your reflection is wrong."
_Definitely_ stashing that line away in my "list of creepy af lines".
My personal favorite creepy line I've yet to use is "the (n+1) of you continue walking," where n is the number of party members.
@@zackjones8802 Nice
My favorite is "It is the smile of a devil you you do not believe in"
It’s definitely a line that makes anyone pause, even for a brief moment
@@zackjones8802Yeah, that one’s terrifying. I have that one in my back pocket, along with its cousin, “the (n-1) of you keep walking.
“I pull out… my gun…”
Legit will always be funny to me 😂😂😂
Especially because they’re supposed to be like 15😂
The best part was that he was drawn respecting trigger discipline
I would of shot the mirror lmao
What else he gonna whip out
@@topsyturvy1097 magnifying glass
5:12 “it is not my fault i am born of lies… it is the fault of the deceiver” still haunts my nightmares
I love that line so much.
So Baron is the Weaver of Lies? I just recently got into D&D so I have been reading up on things, this sounded familiar really.
@@melchiorzibeon5024 Baron was a joke character Murph made up because Riz was insecure about never having dated anyone before. Basically a “they go to a different school” type thing. But Brennan just ran with it and made them into a really cool vessel for Riz’s character development in the later half of the season
It’s the coldest line
Such a good line. Brennan is endlessly creative and always dropping great lines like this.
Zac stuttering "Can we be done?" at the end is the most relatable thing ever because I had to pause the video the first time I saw that episode. And then Brennan was so happy that they found him scary when he told this story
I've said it before and I will say it again. The sheer delight on Brennans face when he found how terrifying this was to the people was almost as scary as this actually masterpiece. I can memorize this story to tell at a campfire in a more relatable way. I cannot mimic that look without actually going insane first
I was listening to this part at work(also thought they removed on on the app but nope it was in later episodes) and I was getting the creeps listening to it.
@@Skiddlescout also good for Brennan as there story teller if none of the part of the story he want to be scary , not scary it bad feel a bit. (Aka corn cuties)
As a DM myself, I can confirm that there is nothing more satisfying than coming up with something you intend to be scary/unnerving, and your players being absolutely *terrified* by it...in a good, safe, agreed-upon way, of course.
I mean have you seen EXU Calamity? Brennan can be more than scary, he was fkn terrifying
I’m totally convinced that this was Brennan’s way of getting revenge for the corn cuties in season 1
It does have mad "Okay guys, I can be scary, alright."
I feel like a lot of things Brennan does is revenge for the corn cuties in Season 1.
@@AlastorNahIdWinRadioDemonI feel like everything he did in season 1 was revenge for the corn cuties in season 1.
Baron was a great romance partner. Rizz Gorgac was naughty THRICE and they still took him back.
he deserves better tratment.
My toxic trait is that, Honestly when this started, my first instinct was to ship it. Barron probably wouldn’t actually be a good match.😂
To be fair, I haven't seen this but Baron seems like they have ulterior motives AKA please flesh me out, all I've got is a name, a homeland, and you.
@@hiro2protagonistBaron was kinda right though. It wasn't their fault they were born of lies.
@@hiro2protagonistListen, since Riz is probably on the aroace spectrum, it may not be an OTP to ship, but a BROTP could work! Once Riz accepts himself, I think his "romance partner" could become just... a "partner". And everyone'll be better for it.
Fucking love how even with the cuts you can't hide Lou appropriately freaking out over every line lmao
hes the voice of the people fr
seeing a physical representation of “as it speaks its mouth does not move” is SO much scarier than i could’ve ever imagined
Absolutely love how Riz is drawn, and obsessed with the little hand motion for “I TAP OUT”
I love that because my thought of the reason why rizz did that in his moment of pure adrenaline and Instinct was because of him being on the owlbear team, and because of him possibly sparing with his friends and other classmates and people on the owlbear team
He does it because it’s what they told you to do if it was too much and you needed to tap out, it was drilled into him so no one would unnecessarily get badly injured
Which turns what was likely said as a joke into something that makes this situation more horrific
100% - This is my head canon Riz now, and the animation of the tap out is GOLD
And the way the taps were perfectly synced between video and audio!
Spoiled by Brendan Lee mulligan expressions, the absolute lack of emotions from baron is WORSE
The still face makes it twice as scary
Brendad Leigh Milligan
"a voice colder than the grave echos from behind the mirror where you know there is nothing" will haunt me forever
Brennan Lee Mulligan once again showing a perfect combination of horror and comedy. The kind of skill it takes to make people genuinely laugh while ALSO being extremely creeped out.
can we appreciate the good trigger discipline? like that is proper gun etiquette you don't usually see in a lot of things. I love that at 0:48 he keeps his finger off the trigger, since there is no immediate threat, and he has no reason to have his finger on that trigger. it's the little things y'all. great animation, i love it.
I like how Riz's hand-arquebus gets upgraded to a modern semi-auto in this
He needed the upgrade
By that point he was using his father's gun , wich is stated to be better and more modern-ish than the arquebus
"I pull out my . . . Gun" is funnier than ever, and good lord your version of Barron is so deliciously creepy!
My favorite line is when he says he's going to take you to see his Stark father
Stark father I don’t feel so good
Hearing Brennan say "A voice... colder than the grave..." is so extremely chilling to me
🤩🤩🤩🤩 ITS YOUR ŔOMÆNCE PARTER BARON AND HES SO WELL DRAWN
*they?
@@iwillcry oh I heard murph say "little skeleton boy" when reffering to Baron but on the wiki it says they/them and he/him so they works as well!
@@keylime3167 i guess because baron’s figure was basically riz’s but a mannequin. I think it’s part of the joke as riz used the genderless term ”partner” while describing baron and didn’t specify gender
You have been naughty thrice Riz Gukgak!
The juxtaposition of how insanely creepy Baron is with the hilarity of their accent and dialogue is peak Brennan.
Literally the coolest thing I've ever seen got literal chills wow
THE WAY BARON STROKES HIS HAIR IN THE MIRROR IS SO SO SCARY
I can't help it, this version of the animation remains "the official one" in my heart ❤
Same. When I saw Dropout release this scene animated, I was hoping it was this one
If I had money I'd pay you to animate the entire series. This is so good.
Agreed
It deserves a full animated series, maybe on dropout
I swear it deserves an animated run so bad
This was CHILLING Brennan was genuinely surprised how much he scared them I think
i've rewatched fhsy so many times but you just gave me those scary "first time meeting baron" chills again, bravo!! your character designs for riz and baron are so on point, and that last frame at 6:33 scared the shit out of me omg
To me, at least "You would have to take a step forward" is a pretty strange and unnerving line. Brennan delivers it so casually, while the phrasing of it (you would HAVE to take a step forward) implies an amount of effort and thought that would not typically be required from an action as simple as stepping forward. I know this line was probably something improvised but to me it really underlines the creeping dread of this scene. Riz is afraid to step forward. To investigate the next room, he would have to leave the safety of the shadows and move towards the door.
This is why you never make a joke around brennan. He will add it to the game
The algorithm was just sleeping on this???
Also that caressing thing baron does at the end is just * chef's kiss *
"where you know there is nothing" and "as though there is pressure from the other side" GOSH. DANG...... FANTASY HIGH SEASON 3 LETS GOOOOOO
Great job! Honestly one of my favorite scenes from Sophomore Year.
Love how you left Zac's "Can we be done?" In there.
This is more terrifying than any version of Baron I ever imagined.
Man I saw the fucking face and I said, out loud, "Jesus Christ." Congratulations, this is terrifying!
"It is not my fault I am made of lies...it is the the fault of the deceiver." INCONCEIVABLY HARD LINE, I LOVE FANTASY HIGH SO GATDAMN MUCH
one of the best scenes from brennan and you did it such justice!!! baron NOT having lip flaps makes them even WORSE
The littol chortle of a fellow player hearing you try and avoid The Bad Thing while still approaching it is always a fun little touch
This is one of my favorite recurring characters, Baron is the creepiest thing Brennan invented for Fantasy High. With his introduction, you just think he's kinda silly and not capable of any real harm. A little spooky but it's so absurd you can't help but laugh. The callback here portrays him so creepily that originally the goofy line "I know 3 things are true. 1) you are my romance partner..." etc. sent chills up my spine when I heard it this time.
when the camera panned up to baron's huge empty eyes i got SO creeped out i love it
Brennan's story telling here was fucking PHENOMENAL, of course, i still hear the baron's voice in my dreams, but god damn. Murph with that first "What do you want?" was what sent that first really deep chill down my spine. Fucking AMAZING.
THIS IS SO GOOD even just listening to this was fucking horrifying but seeing it illustrated is insane!!!
This is why you never lie about having a romænce pærtner.
Fabulous work! This was amazing ❤
The choice to have Baron be completely expressionless is SO GOOD!! Amazing art, def one of the best fantasy high animatics I’ve seen!
The phrase "your roëmænce partnaer deserves better traetment!" haunts my dreams
I am in love with this. Horror doesn't normally get me, but the way you brought this scene to life honestly have me goosebumps.
Okay this art is great,,,I want to eat it. Also love the details of the glass contorting & the effect of the hands pressed against the glass
"If you invent it I can make it true." With no other context, that sounds like an incredible time.
This was my foot in the door for Fantasy High. My husband had just started watching Freshman Year, but this reinforced my desire to watch. Wow! Can't wait to see my husband react to this!
I love the fact this has been animated. Baron of the Baronies is the greatest DND character of all time
I said this on The Burrows End but I think it also applies here
Y’all remember the Horror Campaign? Like the genuinely scary creepy one? Yeah this scene is worse omg
Neverafter? I just got to the mice and feel like I truly understand eldritch horror for the first time.
the scariest thing about the Romance Partner is that little bit of white in the right eye socket, makes my mind try and make out an eye in that space. it’s goddamn terrifying, good job
When I first saw this, it STUCK with me. Like I had trouble focusing on anything, it hit me that badly. Good animation recapturing that feeling
GOD THAT SLAPPED
Fantasy high is underrated as fuck
I suffer from nyctophobia, I'd never, ever look into a mirror in a dark room, not to save my life.
I have never heard of fantasy high before this point but I am now going to go binge it
Yeah. I've been doing it for the past couple weeks.
SCREAMING I JUST watched this late in the night in complete darkness and this animatic brings it to a whole new level. Literal chills. Your Baron design is so good and creepy as hell, all the little motions and complete lack of expression sells the scares really well, especially the hand brushing hair from Riz’s face before knocking him out? TERRIFYING.
I love the way you draw Rizz, he's so stylish and cute!
The visible rolls - the twist - in his neck at the end is just… simply a fantastic detail. Bravo
Chills. Horrifying. I love it.
"A voice, colder than the grave, echoes from behind the mirror where you *know* there is nothing"
OH-KAY BRENNAN THAT'S ENOUGH
that little brushing back of hair thats added at the end really just sends the whole thing
AGHHHH WOWWW i had to pause at baron just gently moving a hair strand off riz's eye. AGHHH GAVE ME CHILLS!!!! first and only time ive ever seen that last part animated, SO COOL WELL DONE
The clawed hands are amazing. And the soft line quality makes me just happy to look at.
The little ear twitch at the beginning ;0;
Man, I've been looking for more fantasy high animatics and let me tell you buddy, you've nailed it!
“I pull out my…”
*full three second pause*
“…gun.”
the build-up in tension of this scene.... god i forgot how scary baron really is lol
Brennan is terrifyingly good at speaking with the absolute worst pattern (or lack thereof) of emphasis
Honestly, Baron’s mouth not moving added genuine horror I failed to appreciate the first 500 times I watched this video.
Okay, this has no reason to be this scary!!! I got goosebumps all over again. You really created anticipation/anxiety with the images you've drawn.
I like how in art he gets an arquebus But you just gave him like a friggin Beretta
I wonder what would've happen if Riz and Baron actually became romance partners
Spoilers:
Either Kalina or Cassandra can make dream-creatures seem real, but each with their own limitations. Kalina can only enhance the illusion by hijacking a single person's senses and Cassandra's ability to completely warp reality to make dreams real only seems to apply in-forest.
If Baron had remained by Riz's side, perhaps Baron would have disappeared mid-fight when Riz was cured of the plague or when Kalina was defeated in combat. Perhaps Baron would have lived on through Cassandra's magic, but only within the boundaries of the forest.
However, the reason Baron existed at all was due to Riz's worries over possibly being aro/ace and being left alone because everyone else would eventually find someone more important to them.
Baron only has 3 things supporting their identity, 1)
their home, 2)their romance partner being Riz, and 3)their name. They were created out of thin air, have no memories, no ties, nothing. That's all they've got as proof of their existence.
Living in the forest instead of the Baronies or accepting Riz is aro/ace would destroy Baron's spirit. I doubt Baron could ever accept living in such a world.
I love how instead of his dad's ornate flintlock his gun is just like a fuckin glock
Gotta say- if I was in his position, I wouldn’t have walked infront of the mirror, i would have put my hands on the back of it, pushed it forward so that I’m standing behind the mirror, then push it softly, and make it rest on the ground facing down without cracking or shattering it
I mean, at that point, he didn't know the sound came from the mirror. He was creeping towards the other room to see what was going on in there.
@@bluebird9870 oh no i know, i (as in my actual self) just hates mirrors, and if i hear a sound when nobody else is home im immediately like “did a demon break through my mirror?”
I would have accidentally derailed the plot by hiding behind the mirror to wait for someone to appear
yeah the framing the dm gave of the scene immediately made me think the mirror is evil
I think Brennan wanted Riz to get kidnapped so it didn’t really matter what he’d done it would have had the same outcome probably
I like the attention to detail with the trigger discipline.
THE WAY THE GLASS MOVES IS SO GOOD
ONE second in and already obsessed with Riz's ear twitching 😭
A friend showed me *this* before I got into Fantasy High. They showed it to me after showing me and another friend a quick compilation of quotes from it. We pointed out one of the Baron quotes, apparently, so they felt they had to introduce us to Baron. The friend that was experiencing Baron for the first time, like me, now does a *killer* Baron impression and I'm now up to Baron's introductory episode. It's somehow even better in full context.
Added info from The Seven: Barons real name is Sia and uses they/them pronouns. They really exist and live in the Baronies. It’s terrifying
your Riz looks so cool! such a creepy and well-executed animatic :)
The way that in the background Emily (who’s Murph/Riz’s IRL wife) says “WHAT?!” Gets me every time
Why the fuck did this creator drop one bomb ass animation about fantasy high two years ago and then just dip?
They said all they needed to say
(/j)
The Rïz and Bæron shenanigans were easily my favourite part of this season. This animatic did it such good justice!
This is really good for a first animatic!! And your art style is *chefs kiss* !!
Brennan Lee Mulligan is amazing. Turns a throwaway bit into a genuinely scary encounter. Mastapeece
Baron... why are they so pretty and cute!? This is terrifying, I shouldn't be liking this!
I don't know what Baron is yet, but I'm guessing some kind of Fey. Pretty, cute, terrible. All together that's pretty dang fey.
So well done. This deserves to be on Dropout TV.
ITS ME! YOUR ROMÆNCE PARTNER!
Just a note. Riz had his dad's arcubus at this point. So it would be silenced
Riz: *Agressive tapping*
I love your Riz design!
Love the way you draw him
UR RIZ IS SO CUTE IM LITERALLY CRY
6:32 that final snap looks so visceral
The lunging part always gives me the creeps
This is the most amazing interpretation of this Dimension 20 moment!! Fantastic job!!
Holy fuck- is it so genuinely terrifying with a visual. The audio is funny but this is truly unsettling
why have you drawn riz so cute. how dare you. i love him.
