It's my personal head canon that whenever the Nein stop and do stuff like this (the frost worm fight, sledding, etc.), Lucien and the rest of the Tomb Takers are watching from a distance and thinking, "What the fuck are they doing?"

To be fair, I doubt Lucien would treat them with even half the respect if he saw this stuff lol.

ah yes, the tried and true Wizard's Flowchart: if it fails, then I cast the spell wrong. if it fails again, I'm not casting the right spell. if it fails one more time, don't waste any more spell slots on it, it's obviously nothing important.

The animation was so good I mean even though it was stop motion, it still had a fluid expression. the fact that it wasn't fluid animation didn't seem to bother me, my mind filled in the gaps, it felt fluid, and had dynamic expressions.
@BordrKing 3 жыл бұрын
Hi! If you're interested this is called an Animatic. It's like a stepping stone in the animation process in which you draw key frames for a scene, often including things like motion direction lines and transition notes so that the team drawing the in-betweens (literally the frames between keys) can fill in and make it look like one fluid motion rather than a collection of still images.

When they took a tour of his workshop. They knocked a pile of lumber onto him and set off a reindeer stampede that nearly took him out. Thankfully, he's a demi-god, so he's just crippled as he leads them through the frozen North. Not so sure they should be expecting any new toys in their stockings for a while, though.
