Before the Roll - The People of Critical Role
Рет қаралды 82,159
9 ай бұрынHey guys!!
After 4 months of working on this video I have finally finished it! This is another short documentary on the cast of Critical Role and how they came to be who they are today! To note I did not add any campaign 3 items in as that is still moving forward and didnt want to add spoilers! I also did use footage from the previously posted video series of 'Between the Sheets'.
Thank you @criticalrole for being such an awesome cast and there are a few hidden messages for you! Thank you for inspiring me to create such a piece! And if you want something more official, let me know ; )

Honestly, I had opened this to save and watch later - I was tired, ready to sleep... I watched the whole thing then and there. I never got a chance to watch the interviews while they were up, as I was on a mission to catch up to the "Live" show for 2.5 years. I finally did as of two weeks ago. This... this takes all my love of the cast to a new level. I've always known them through one show or another, but this presentation of them holds all the pieces that make up the heart of who they are. How they got here. Why we feel so much watching them play a game together. Thank you for this. It's beautiful.
