original video ‪@meghowes3544‬
sound and voice added by Jared Porras
music:
clocktown remix by Vetrom
The Assassin in White by the black piper
(original book soundtrack)
the first time I saw this video I was so impressed and inspired that I wanted to add my own creative touch to Meg Howes' video. I've had very little experience with sound design but I'm so happy with how this turned out.
Enjoy!

Who caught Wit writing the first of the epigraph letters to Frost? "Old friend, I hope this missive finds you well. Though, as you are now essentially immortal, I would guess that wellness on your part is something of a given." Who caught the Clock Town music from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask?

I love the detail that Szeth looks utterly miserably the entire time, and looks uncomfortable with what he is doing. It really shows how even though everyone thinks he is evil, he is just following orders.

@thebygoneking Жыл бұрын

You forgot one of the most critical lines in the opening “You must find the most important words a man can say”, Gavalar tells Szeth to say this to Dalinar, **spoiler** It leads into Dalinar swearing the first ideal of the Bondsmith, and following that also leads to Dalinar telling Odium “You can’t have my pain”. Finally, it leads onto Dalinar saying “The most important step a man can take, is not the first one. It’s the next one.”

*MAJOR SPOILER FOR BOOK 5* *NO KIDDING SPOILER* *REALLY, SPOILER FROM THE PROLOGUE OF BOOK 5* *IS BETTER IF YOU WATCH THE PROLOGUE IN BRANDON SANDERSON KZfaq* In the prologue, we see that Gavilar said that because he was saying random phrases to the supposed "Stormfather" trying to become a herald (yes, that´s right) and the "Stormfather" told him to stop saying random shit and won´t trust anyone from the Kholin family again. In the end, Gavilar never was even close to figuring it out the words and was an awful person.

The fact that Szeth is kicking his ass in the book makes it less wild that the man doesn’t chase, thus making Szeths deduction even more impressive tbh

@WilliamGerot Жыл бұрын

The only problem I have with the animation, great as it is, is that Szeth's blade should be much longer, as all of the blades are, especially the honorblades. Although I do admit, animating something as intricate as that would be painstaking

@mvaalh Жыл бұрын

Actually, I'm pretty sure the honor blade szeth had was described as short and thin.

@WilliamGerot Жыл бұрын

@@mvaalh Yeah, much more than the others but it is supposed to be the size of a regular sword, as opposed to a 6ft long sword the rest have, the one in the animatic looks unwieldly small.

@ephraimcullen 10 ай бұрын

In the book, gemstones glow after storms and certain people can harness this stormlight to do a variety of "Magics" Normal people just use the gems for illumination because they don't know there are magical folk who can weaponize it. Szeth, the assassin in white, can use the light he consumes to heal himself and control gravity.

@milkman4407 8 ай бұрын

Szeth grimaced after killing the second guy, but why, he could have easily injured him with the spear, and it was not required to kill him, which means he did it out of free will

@joshuafischer684 7 ай бұрын

If I remember correctly, Szeth was ordered to cause destruction and mayhem. His actions, along with the Parshendi leaders' surrender, provided a distraction for the rest of the Parshendi to escape Kholinar. And yes, since Szeth's sentencing as Truthless was wrong, he was never bound to murder. We see that when he speaks with Nale at the end of Words of Radiance, that it was only his own code of honor that kept him obeying the holder of his Oathstone.
