Thanks for watching! :) - Jak na to + styl
you even put daniil's huge ass emo platform shoes
Damn, Daniil. Back at it again with the 3-inch platforms (yes, I stole this, yes, you better go find the meme, it's incredibly well-drawn)
@@Chillandlofispf bro, I've been looking for it for an hour now and I can't find it. I swear to god it's real, it's in my gallery and I'm genuinely lost.
@@grilledcheesinator55 Darn
you can find it on the wiki in some of his concept art
Your dankovsky especially drives home “the prickly prick that will bury us all” energy and I adore it
I really liked that line, because on your first playthrough thats probably exactly what people would do as him.
He really did bury them all.
why does falling down a pathologic aesthetic rabbit hole sound like such a good idea rn
Cause it is!
It’s the greatest idea
Same boat 😂
@@cristianoliver4447 is there a sheep with knitting needles in your boat too?
“It can be healed… rather than killed…” it’s like the haruspex is trying to convince himself more than his colleagues. Perhaps this does call for the gentle hand of a surgeon. His heart is sick but he’s sure better than clever cloaks.
I find the thief and the Bachelor's approaches the best courses of action. You either gain the best of both worlds or you choose the best world out of the two imperfections.
*clogs
@@IwakuraYumeko7 Personally I disagree with shelling an entire town but you do you.
@@Local_Ladit's not a country shelled, so I'm not guilt ridden by that action.
I really like the inclusion of the player into the scene. For those who have not played the original, you-as-the-player is watching the scene from above, and is the figure leaving the stage through the side door at the end.
thank you! i'm not sure many people noticed it, I just thought it would a nice little thing to include
All of this is absolutely incredible! Clara is especially marvellous, she's such a delight, jumping effortlessly between being a silly child and wrecking these two grown men.
THATS MY BABY
“I’ll heal the town without needing to kill anybody! Just watch!”
*Proceeds to perform yearly blood sacrifices on an already dwindling population to merely hold off the sand plague*
Big Harley Quinn energy.
I swear to Bohdo, Daniil and Artemy could have reached an agreement if she didn't mess around x)
But hey, she had her reasons and, as odd as it is, she can work her miracle. So she has her place on stage.
@@theoneandonlymichaelmccormick Yeah, that one was kinda hard to swallow.
Honey, you're sassing Artemy for killing people as he comes to town, which couldn't be prevented, but your miracle is to ask politely a bunch of people to kill themselves? Are we having the "I didn't kill them, I just told them to suicide!" argument, really?
The posing really elevates the voice acting.
I know I’m late but this video is a great example of shape theory.
Dankovsky his depicted with more sharpe angles which shows power but also shows aggression and violence.
Burakh is depicted with a more square shape which can be imposing but also stable and denoting tradition.
Clara is depicted with smooth soft edges and circles this is indicative of the fact she is the most empathetic of the characters and the one who seeks to do the least damage.
I love the detail of Clara looking at the camera at the end, since shes aware theyre fictional, so good!
your clara... she is perfect she is Perfect and Round and i love the way you drew her MOVEMENTS..
Yes!
OHMYGOD IT'S EHLIHR!! 😍😍😍😍
This video just made me realize that the three characters represent Mind, Body, and Soul.
The Bachelor is a very intelligent and logical man who doesn’t care much for emotions or those that he thinks lesser. He also doesn’t like getting his hands dirty unless he has to and gets into much less fights than the Haruspex. He wants to let the past die so that the future can thrive without being held down by old ways.
The Haruspex is the strongest of the three physically. He is more compassionate and spiritual than the Bachelor while being more grounded than the Changeling. He seeks to protect and help the weak often to the detriment of the strong. Despite being a kind surgeon who wants to do the right thing he ends up having to kill and hurt others to survive. He wants to sacrifice the future in order to preserve the past and it’s traditions.
Lastly the Changeling embodies the spirit. She has been gifted with incredible power that can both heal and hurt others. She is the youngest of the three and as such the most irrational. She has great faith in both others and the powers that be. She wants to protect the ways of the future and past to create a better world from both.
Though the three main characters conflict throughout the game they are tied to each other and cannot succeed without each other.
SPOILER
You can even note this when Clara's ending can save the town and even preserve the polyedron. In Danii's ending he choses to let the military destroy the city in order to protect the polyedron. And Artemy decides to kill Bohdo and destroy the Polyedron to save the city.
Damn... That's a good one.
You can also see it the way that they all represent a core behaviour in a disaster:
Daniil represents logical thinking, not leaving much to chance or superstition. Despite his paper being on a way to achieve immortality (which is quite supernatural), it had to be based on facts and research, not hearsay nor observation, which is why Simon's death meant he couldn't finish it. For him, the disease is purely a bacterium lifted from below ground.
Artemy would be traditionalism: While working with things that do work, he's not brushing away things that are untested or outside of "traditional" medicine, that being medicine based on scientific consensus. For him, the plague has to do with the very real spirits and lore of the Steppe, the god the town is built upon being hurt by the Polyhedron's base
Clara would be faith. She asks of the two others to purely believe that she can work a miracle. And, despite the fact she genuinely can do it, it's a hard sell. As the player we know better, for we can both play as her and see that her powers are real, and that her ending indeed saves the town, with the price of the Humbles' sacrifice, but for Daniil and Artemy it's either highly illogical for the former or a denial of the local lore for the latter (that girl thinks she can be more powerful than the tutelary god?)
All of them are valid behaviours, and in the context of Pathologic all can cure and save people. But their visions are deeply incompatible.
@@NWolfsson Basically It's the trinity, or the three states of matter in alchemy. Daniil the spirit (mind), Artemy the salt (body) and Changeling is sulfur (soul)
Daniil really said: “let the past die. Kill it if you have to.”
Fun fact, I've learned that intro almost word for word because of this animatic, absolutely stunning, Daniils dumb smart person energy shines brighter than my future and Clara making the camera pan up at the end makes me unreasonably happy
Funny. And I. Ten years ago. Now I've listened to the English version... I don't know, maybe it's a habit, or I just don't know enough English, but it sounds much poorer than in the original. Both in meaning and in the play of the actors. In the original, this scene is a masterpiece in every way. I hope you also perceive it as written in a high and elegant literary language. It's sad if the translation is not professional enough.
@@frostfox8813 I believe the translation issues were one of the reasons it was remastered and they did a pretty good job adjusting it to better fit the original intention
Wait... does Artemy say "stuffed or not, its breathing"? Thats very telling about the secret endings, wow.... i never woulda noticed...
I've gotten the secret endings I've not idea what its refering to.
@@eyjay1508the doll
Since no one else seems to be commenting on this, the stage lights at 0:30 make a skull face, as if the specter of death is already looming over them
i’m going to scream every single aspect of this is utterly impeccable i am genuinely FLOORED right now...the character designs ? lighting? angles? movement? the expressions? that artemy daniil HEIGHT DIFFERENCE? i’m going to loop this forever until every frame is burned into my retinas and i can take it with me into the afterlife
It does always explain him as being built like an ox, trying to be a gentle giant, but hes too clumsy so he hurts
Or just to the Polyhedron.
You can't take this masterpiece with you into death, I'm going to do that
This was fucking great, but one single little miniscule complain.
When the show ends all of them go out in different ways.
Daniil goes for the stair because it is the most logical and straight forward path. He care not about keeping the illusion with the audience. (In this context being the city, I think)
Artemy exits from the back of the stage because he is more in tone with the people of the city.
After all he is a local and understands them.
He maintains the illusion between the audience and the actors.
Clara cares not about illusion too, but her reasoning is different.
She better understands the play then Daniil and Artemy.
Also that smile on the shadow of Clara at the end, priceless.
thank you! honestly i hadn't even considered this and don't remember referencing how the scene ends, so it makes sense i missed this nuance. i'm glad you liked it anyhow!
@@GaruxPuru I thought you deliberately missed it so it would look better and more... epic. Also I thought it worked lol
@Aveera Whitestone wow, i hadnt even realized that what he was holding was the script. great detail!
Also Daniil towards the stairs since - polyhedron/staircase to heaven (ie anti Earth). Artemy towards the back of the stage (the Darker path, backstreets to hide from the authorities) and Clara towards the audience as she is somewhat aware of her actual existence. Loved the animation anyhow!
Where does clara leave from?
Ok but having Clara's shadow smile is such a cool touch! Really conveys her mystical nature and duality
this has become comfort viewing for me. i love artemy. i love his long eyelashes. did you know that sometimes, people with long lashes are called "cow-eyed"? look at a picture of a cow's face up close sometime and see their long, pretty lashes. just like artemy.
0:53
I always loved how it sounds like the audience is laughing when Clara says “I know what to do.”
The one dislike is Daniil, for being told off by the weird spooky child
Ok but Clara!On!The!Table!Imp baby!Leaning on Artemy's head!
THE SMILE IN CLARAS SHADOW SCARED MEEEEE
Love big boots.
Bachelor also got nice vampire-y vibe with that sharp shoulder
A+ for Whoopsies Tragedian getting in the spotlight, Troll Klara hamming it up, Medicum morbo adhibere sparkle, and Big Boi Artemy,. Love how visually expressive the characters are!
I love your Daniil, and everyone else. I love that Clara is using Artemy as a prop (resting her arm on his head), and Artemy is just CHONK.
Daniil*
Artemy*
@@ydagan2400 thanks! Edited
clara is such a gremlin i love her
"medicum morbo adhibe" roughly translates to something like "summon the doctor for matters of death". The other line "sub ipsum fumum sumus" (he says 'fumus' but this is grammatically incorrect and probably unintentional) means "we are underneath the smoke/fume itself" it can also alternatively be translated as "we are underneath the sign itself" and I'm not sure which it should be given the context, either works, so it's possible that this is an intentional pun (though to understand Latin well enough to make puns in it but also make such a novice mistake as confusing the nominative and accusative singular cases is a bit strange, so I somewhat doubt this conclusion).
Anyway, thought y'all might be curious about what those silly little pretentious phrases mean lol
I think the mistake is purposeful, maybe it's just how it came off to me, but Daniil's latin always felt pretentious and only for show, so it'd make sense if he made mistakes .
Regardless of my interpretation, thanks for the translation man! Really appreciate it
Listen I just gotta- AYO ARTEMY BURAKH LOOKING FINE AS HELL BUILT LIKE A BRICK HOUSE
Love clara dancing around like a witchy pint sized jack sparrow. on point.
I love how it sounds like they're reading it, I love how much the tone of it sounds like a play.
Aaand now I'm realizing they're talking about the town. Standing on that stage, it's not quite real yet, just a stuffed bull prop.
As someone who works in the medical science field. My way of thinking is like these three arguing.
I care for my patients comfort and constantly pray for their wellbeing. But sometimes painful surgical intervention is needed and logical medical intervention is required.
I absolutely love the design you gave Artemy. The quality of his sheer presence is something I love and I won't settle for any depiction of him as a anything less than a literal fridge.
I adore the animation. This also gave me a better understanding of the metaphors that the characters were referring to. I feel that if the movements were more present in the original game, it would have made the story way richer and more understandable to the player. Especially the fact that the voices felt very off in the original, you made it 1000/100 better.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE I HAVE NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY WERE SAYING UNTIL NOW! also u animate clara beautifully
i cant stop opening this on my computer. i keep rewatching it its AMAZING
i am back to watch this AGAIN
i am here again i love it so much
I invite you once more to watch it again!
@@aus286 i will thank you
Watched this like 3 times and only just noticed Clara’s evil shadow grinning.
Best animatic of Plathologic that i've ever seen.
No, not only of Plathologic, but of everthing.
You portrayed their emotions wonderfully, it made me wish for more emotional voice acting to match this energy
Clara: *looks at the player like she's in the office*
God, I love the player/tragedian just kinda tiptoeing by in the background. I played through the entire game with all three characters and refused to look up a guide ever. It took so long, and it was miserable, but I succeeded. This dialogue is something that's basically a part of my soul now. And this is my favorite depiction of it. Fantastic stuff.
Thematically as they represent the mind body and soul, similarly the art design dedicatedly is pointy, square and round. Good attention to detail.
Clara, the devotress/changeling is simultaneously adorable and terrifying. This genius character writing could be a reference to her true nature as a puppet of the powers that be, two children who disagree on whether or not she is a hero or a villain. It's possible that Pathologic only exists so that we may speculate about it *sniff sniff*
t h a n k s
I love how when Artemy is talking to Danil, Clara dosent stop moving in the backround
The Changeling is so SMUG, I love it!
ooo this is so neat!!!! as a ..hypothetical pathologic fan who's seen certain video essays and read the wiki i was feeling a bit wary about their canon voices but ur animation's lent them so much character uve completely sold them to me
THIS IS SO AMAZING! I loved how everybody is in character, Clara being all childish and savage at the same time, the pedant faces of Daniil and the clumsy kindness of Artemiy... everything when it comes to body language looks really good. Thanks for sharing!! Time to rewatch this on loop, haha.
holy this is so cool? I like the three of them, but I specially love how you made Artemy's movements so subtle in comparison with the more childish and over the top Clara's acting. So good.
Love that the Changeling shrugs at, presumably, the viewers.
You made Daniil seem so pompous and the extra flamboyance you gave him with the latin quote made me love him so much more, Clara is a joy to watch in action (I especially love the smile in her shadow near the end to illustrate the presence of her evil twin) and Artemy is just plain hot.
Also I LOVE the touch at the end where it shows the player leaving the stage as well to pick their character
I know other people have mentioned it, but seriously, your posing and facial expressions really elevate the source material. In-game, it feels like little more than people talking to each other; practicing their lines, so to speak, and while that isn't inappropriate for the context of the intro, this really makes it feel like a proper cutscene. Fantastic work, I love how exaggerated the characters' clothes are, like Bachelor's upturned collar making him look small, or Clara's giant boots making her look more childlike. Definitely one of my favorite pieces of Pathologic fan work.
this video is an old friend to me. i come & rewatch it every time i see it in my recommended. so excellent
I’ve watched this so many times it’s amazing. The movement the lighting, the distinct shapes of each character that shows exactly who they are and gives them each a huge presence on the stage. The way Clara is so physical with the other healers, letting lighting tell the story for her, she bounces off the two of them, making almost every word she speaks ominous in a way despite how much smaller she is compared to daniil and Artemy, offset by her standing on the table. The smile her shadow has while she shrugs at the camera-the way Artemy sticks back until he has something to say, letting his physical size be his presence, much less animated than the others because he knows in his heart and soul he is right. (Of course all the healers think they’re right, but his lack of chewing the scenery really assured me. He doesn’t need to overcompensate, he’s doing this out of duity.) daniil’s *shape* just how top heavy he is, as if he could be knocked over at any second, how most of his silloette is his coat and bag, to the point it’s almost swallowing him like his own ego. Without it, he’s nothing. it almost has a bigger presence than he does. The only scene this doesn’t hold true is “the truth is my Shepard” But once again I really is Clara who steals the show, I can’t pick a favorite scene for her I love every moment. She’s so dynamic!
Fuck, Clara is so well posed here. The little shrug at the end was so goooooodddd
The weird thing is none of them are wrong and they all want to get the best outcome, but they are to stubborn to understand that the others want the same, but just go about it differently
~ medicum morbo adhibere ~ 🙈✨💅
Wish the reimagined Pathologic was closer to the original in terms of story and meanings. This scene look great!
Im now sold on the concept of a Pathologic animated series
have you read the interpretation where this scene has the three healers performing a surgery on a doll? visualize them like that and it makes a lot of sense
love this animatic. made me really like clara's voice acting in P1
1:12 This line from the Bachelor always reminded me of someone else but I couldn't think of it until now, I realized he sounds kinda like Christian Bale
I love the Changeling's little smile in Clara's shadow at the end
Animations/atics dont usually make me go insane anymore but OH MY GOD
It's my 6th or so time rewatching this and I JUST noticed, you can see a shadowy figure walk through a door on the left on the upper level as The Three exit--that's the player! That's the door you walk through in the opening of Patho 1 after the play finishes. Awesome detail
Super love how you draw Artemy as large as a wardrobe 💚💚💚
There's so much character to this, I'm absolutely in love. The subtle humour is an absolute treat too. Thank you for this.
1:33 CLARA JUST DANCING IN THE BACKGROUND, ahaha-
This is so beautiful, I loved every second.
I just love how BEEFY you made the haruspex
Не ожидал такой хорошей английской локализации! Браво, ребята!
Absolutely nuts over this entire animatic the use of the spot lights the little shrug the changeling gives to the camera how she’s standing on the table and arguing right at you while the other two argue at her raaaahhhhhhh. Fantastic work
I love the stars around Dankovsky when he starts speaking in Latin, really drives home his self obsession.
Great video! I especially liked how you decided to display the difference between Daniil Dankovsky and Artemy Burakh through size and proportions. This video deserves a lot more views.
that's genuine, both one of my favorite games and your art
I just noticed after Clara shrugs, there’s a tiny moment where you can see a smile on her shadow!!! :o
this clara has so much sass in her body language
Clara says how much she detests trickery with the exact cadence and intonation of a person who does detest trickery (honest (real (not a lie))).
Totally not a liar, trickery incarnate:)
I was searching online for this scene from the game to send to a friend and I have no words, this is so SO good! The character designs are so amazing and I've been watching this on loopjadiojwaoidaiodjawdoijda
I hope to see more, your style is so good and the Pathologic worm in my brain requires sustenance
This is amazing!!!! The character designs, the shot composition, the general flow of the scene - I love it all!!!
THIS!! IS SO !! COOL!!!! IVE BEEN SEEING THE PROGRESS SHOTS ON TWITTER AND THIS CAME OUT SO COOL I LOVE IT GREAT WORK CASPER!!!
And thus the path of logic begins.
I revisit this video every now and again and it’s absolutely incredible. the character designs, the cinematography, the little details all come together so beautifully
The shadow on the Changeling was a great touch
Clara’s shadow at the end! What a great bit of foreshadowing!
Dankovsky wants to use his wits to solve the town but his wits could be misguided into helping the wrong people rise to power. (The bachelor rout) 0:55 and 1:33
Burakh wants to use his tradition to cure the sand pest but his tradition would cause the destruction of the town. (The Haruspex rout) 1:45 and 2:40
Clara wants to use her miracles to save the people but her miracles end with sacrifices (The Changeling route) 1:02 and 2:13
It's like each of them have read the endings of each others scripts but not their own.
I wished I could play the real deal on PS4. The actual first game. Because simply trying to watch it on CZcams...it takes all of the fun out. Then again, trying to see it on CZcams can allow me to have a more cinematic perspective of the three characters and their stories.
Game works on potato PCs.
I love this! To echo the others, the designs and poses/expressions really bring it to life. But also the compositions. Very good continuity, flow, and mood.
Fantastic animatic! I especially liked the variety of camera shots and angles
cant wait for more people to get into pathologic so this video will be seen by the audience it deserves, this is actually brilliant
Where's my pathologic movie completely storyboarded by you
This is fantastic! I love how the character's shape, size, and movements really express their personality! Beautifully done and the smile on Clara's shadow was a very nice touch!
Also this is a spoiler for the endings, but this made me realize that Clara saying that only a miracle will stop them from destroying something (1:02) is a direct foreshadow to how her ending is the only one that allows both the town and the polyhedron to stay intact
everything about this (character designs, camera angles, choreography, lighting, etc etc etc) is so damn PERFECT, but i think the things that will live rentfree in my brain forever are
- clara dancing around on the table behind artemy and daniil while they talk (during the "clever-cloaks" bit)
- the way daniil flinches at being called brainy. also the way clara is just Leaning on artemy and hes letting her. UGH SO GOOD
- artemy Huge. big unit. bear of a man. prime hugging real estate. shit brick house
This is so incredible!!!!!! You really bring the characters to life here, all their movements fit so well, I can see it all playing out! Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh (and Clara’s little shrug to the player at the end, incredible) - Also side note I love the way you’ve designed the characters, such striking silhouettes :0 I’m in aweeeee
gahh Clara's shadow moving out of sync with her and the player leaving at the end....all so good!@
God this is so cool. I'd pay real money to see this animated according to your animatic, either in engine or like an sfm animator
this is so good i dont even know what pathologic is ㅠ_ㅠ i adore ur style and this is outstanding!!!
Pathologic is a pretty old Russian game about three people (the ones pictured in the video) trying to save an isolated Russian town from a plague threatening to wipe it out! It's written to be intentionally strange and theatrical, even in its English translations, and it both has an in-progress remake (Pathologic 2) as well as an HD and updated version of the original game so it can be played on modern devices (Pathologic Classic HD). Hbomberguy has a video dissecting the basics of the original game if you want to learn more without having to commit to getting into the series, but it's a really interesting (albeit pretty morbid) experience to go through!
Just discovered Pathologic through watching hbomb videos I haven't seen yet. Man this deserves so much more attention. It's really fun to see character interpreted in a different style and even more fun when it's as well done as this!
I love this !! I love that the changeling's shadow has a little smile, is it foreshadowing what happens in her run ?
Omg this is so gooooooood! I must rewatch it and find my favorite moments to point out. I love how much life it breathes into the opening scene, which has some stilted acting but there's a spark of genius to it. This brings that genius out.
When Clara says "I know what to do" and the music kicks in it's a really creepy scene.
On the other hand when Artemy called Daniil clever cloggs I almost thought there would be the symbols similar to ones floating around in a Jojo meme
The player character observing from above, that's quite clever.
This is one of the best animatics i've seen, i'm so happy i found this!
