ok this sounds dumb but i often forgot mag is a horror cause a lot of the fan stuff I see it more meme-y but this perfectly captures the seriousness of it. and like every frame is beautifully drawn, there's so much detail, Jon's increasingly messy desk, the symbols for each entity, the daisy symbol into the hunt!! like holy shit!!!! and that last frame just *chefs kiss* this is altogether one of the best animatics out there

I think that my favourite touch is Elias' cane being The Pipe.

I'm glad people are enjoying the song! Cool animation!

melanie 'being her own escape route" with the scratched out eyes............. 'if this is how i go' paired with both The Unknowing and later Daisy's coffin.... ...... the desk getting progressively messier symbolizing Jon's descent into paranoia and desperation.......... the parallel between Martin and Jon with "I'm better off alone" the eclipse and 'turn the lights down low', Jon reading Elias' statement against his will along with the words 'i know' used in tandem with the Eye openeing.......... god all of this is just CInnamon Topography. I watch it like AT LEAST once a day

This blows just about every other music animatic out of the water. ...And the song seems custom-made for TMA.

This absolutely rocks!!! My highlight was the contrast between the "I'm better off alone" with Jon distancing himself from the rest of the team even when Martin is trying to reach out to him and the same lyric with Martin distancing himself and hiding from Jon. But honestly this is all so cool? The Unknowing? The bit with the daisy turning into the teeth? The bit with Jon caught in the webs? All the expressions? All your character designs? I love ALL of this????

1:35 I just noticed that the eyes on the ghost shirt are also crossed out. nice

Daisy and Basira with the “I’m better off alone” hits different in s5

this is incredible and has lived rent free in my mind since it came out. the frame with nikola as the song goes “if this is how i go” haunts me. i am in love. i am going to cry. thank you for this.

Tim and his axe at the Unknowing, followed immediately by “If this is how I go.” Perfection. This whole video is amazingly well done.

That "I Know" at the end when Jon opens his eyes, even though you didn't put the words in the animatic (or maybe because of that) hits me so hard

ok everyone is just dropping their favourite frames of this in the comments so can i say the eclipse/dark sun sequence that went with "turn the lights down low" really hit me? It's so simple but i dunno... the timing... the meaning behind the reference... made me just kind of go "oh wow"

THE BIT WITH THE DAISY TURNING INTO TEETH HOW DARE YOU

100% I love the horror on Jon's face with the line 'I feel like such a monster'. This entire animatic is a great representation of the whole show and I love it!!!

I can’t even find the words to express how much I love literally everything about this.

this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen - I've played this a dozen times over already and my jaw is still on the ground over how ABSOLUTELY stunning this is. Thank you so much for this incredible animatic- every detail really gets me, and I love how perfectly you matched the lyrics to each scene, from the little symbols for each entity, to specific lines like "I don't feel anything" for Georgie, the parallel between Jon and Martin isolating themselves over the repeating chorus, the daisy turning into teeth, the increasing clutter of artifacts and evidence on the desk, jonah-elias showing up with the line the devil walks among you asdlfjhdjhsda god there's too much to name

aah just noticed how the eyes of the ghost on melanie's t shirt are scratched out too i LOVE the details on this🥺

This animation is amazing! I love the part with "I'll be my own escape route", it fits Melanie perfectly

really gorgeous, gave me chills. love Jon's expressions throughout this, everyone is really good. Love Martin's loneliness expressed and Tim really good, and Besaira and Daisy, beautiful, love it. Jon's desk, him stuck in web, Martin's fade in the lonely, really great. The avatars super good, this is just really pretty, I wanna download it to my brain!!

This is SO RAD!!! I'm obsessed with how Jon's desk changes thru the seasons like YEAH - also Daisy's mark turning into teeth is so dang excellent

I'm sure there's imagery completely going over my head but I'm in LOVE with Daisy's scar turning into fangs.

other people have used fancier words to articulate how wonderful this is so all i'm gonna add is: super terrifyingly gorgeous art!! everything about this is baller!!

Elias holding the bloody pipe was so good. Perfect subtlety. This is amazing. I can't believe its all over :(((

there is so many things i love about this just the imagery, i wanted to write everything that fitted with the lyrics but that would be the whole video, anyway there are the best parts 'my body is tired of being torn apart and i've done this to myself' with jude 'so if youre thinking of stealing the last love i have' with peter stealing martin 'vilains on my list have tirned me into this' this line just fits so well 'Monster, Monster i feel like such a Monster' 'devil walks amongs you' elias bitchard melanie's ' you got me locked up but im not like you i'll be my own escape route 'i've got you caught up' ::::) just Georgie's ' i dont feel anything' the shift from daisy's scar to the fangs JONAH IN THE PANOPTICON the changing symbols gor the fears can i just say i love your desingns for the fear symbols

There are so many things in this that are just so perfectly suited to the lyrics but for some reason 3:06 with "I know" and the eye really struck me

The daisy mark becoming fangs is *chef's kiss*

I love the symbols for the fears. They are so simple yet so clear.

god this fucks so hard. the daisy turning into teeth? the symbols for each entity? jon getting messier and more disheveled with each frame? the way that the repeated use of "so i'll go, I'm better off alone" for daisy & basira and jon & martin hit me like a truck each time? the way I screamed when you used "i'll be my own escape, you know" for melanie? the threatening and increasingly isolated vibe? every single use of "turn the lights down low"? this is a MASTERPIECE

Im so blown away by the effort you put into every frame of this. IMMEDIATELY when i saw the detail in the city street i gasped. The way you pinned certain characters to each part of the words was so flawless. And the part where daisy's scar turned into teeth was STUNNING. you deserve so much more notice for this animatic, its a masterpiece. im just so appreciative that artists like yourself have been able to find magnus and share these beautifil fanworks with the rest of us.

The fact that this looks so good and only has blacks, whites and grays is absolutely mind-blowing. Great art and song!

THIS IS SO COOL???? THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IVE EVER SEEN?? THE SCENES YOU PICKED FOR EACH LYRIC ARE SO GOOD?? OH MY G O D IM GONNA REWATCH THIS A BILLION TIMES

This is incredible!! Everything about it just hits the thematic nail on the head. It's absolutely gorgeous.

I adore everything about this. Just the way it goes through the plot and highlights all the characters. The pacing, the transitons, and also that final pan to the eyes? All wonderful. Thank you for your awesome work

You are a master at composition. Every time I think about art I come back to watch this vid.... This is IT for me. I absolutely adore it. The imagery, the song, the shades of B&W always perfectly placed.... I am in awe.

Oh my god!! This looks just incredible, your style works so well to create the athmosphere and every frame looks so polished and perfect, it's crazy?? Also, hot Jon rights

Oh my god, so i was in the mood to watch this again after a few months and I am STILL finding new details (despite having watched it repeatedly when i first found this) Like i noticed the timing of the "I Know" with Jon's eyes opening at the end! The effort and attention to detail in this is astounding!!

:O Those minimalist designs for the Entities are the BOMB :O

100/10, SIX STARS, AMAZING, SUPERB, I LOVE THIS, GOSH, EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD AND THE AAAAARRTTTT

This captures the isolation, and the manipulation, and the hard choices of the show sooo well. Absolutely beautiful.

I can see absolutely no way that this could have been better... I'm amazed

oh now this, this is absolutely INCREDIBLE

I can't describe what this animatic made me feel but I'm crying so hard that I can barely see my phone and I just wanted to say kudos and thank you for making this.

I just binged the series over a couple of weeks so I'm new to the community, but this has to be the best thing I've seen so far. I love the theme of Jon wanting to do good but having to become something he doesn't want to be to do it, and you got that down pat. Thanks for the incredible video! : )

god it's so hard to put into words how amazing this video is. The sheer QUALITY of the art pieces you've put together, the lyrics you've tied to different characters and visuals, everything is STUNNING. Best animatic MV i've ever seen.

I showed this to my mom and she screamed and is so amazed. this is PERFECT

damn, you'd think this song was MADE for tma just by how well you matched the lyrics to it. excellent job

How is this song so perfect? Also holy shit that art? Fantastic. Symbolism on point, style on point, all of it too notch.

this is absolutely beautiful....i loved how you showed the cards and items on jon's desk to convey his markings

This is amazing! I love it so much! Really like the cuts back to Jon's desk to show the accumulation of personal artifacts of the different things he's been through

1:33 THE EYES ON THE GHOST ON THE TSHIRT BEING CROSSED OUT ALONG WITH MELANIES UR A GENIUS

I am in awe of the details you've put into every frame. also I love your character designs since i was able to tell who everyone was

ok if you'll excuse me I'm going to gush for about an hour now: the fire!!! when jon+jude shake hands and the way plukas has his hand on Martin's shoulder like "no he's mine you can't have him" and the song you chose is so good And how the fog obscures them from view "monster, monster, I feel like such a monster" aaah I love how you see the different avatars showing up "the devil walks amongst you" ugh prick "I am the nightmare" he is literally a nightmare! he is in their nightmares! I am too excited about this detail Martin's holding a mug of tea!!!!! I love the shot of Jon's scars, like the missing ribs and the worms and the burnt hand, it's just the perfect song lyric for the shot 'and I've done this to myself" he literally did! he agreed to shake Jude's hand for some reason the combination of the worms and "if this is how I go" put together hit really hard Jon turning away from the s1 archives gang and martin coming after him with the mugs of tea (sobbing) "I'm better off alone" "But I'm not like you, I'll be my own escape route" too perfect for Melanie!!! just the very best line ever for her!!!! and you captured the look of pure determination on her face so well The web with the eyes in it is just too perfect "I'll get you caught up, got my attention" just the two most web/eye lines ever the shot of Nikola at the unknowing and "if this is how I go" is enough to make me start sobbing, like you didn't even show Tim and yet I'm still sad about him I love how the desk gets increasingly messier the look on Tim's face as he confronts Nikola,,,,, (crying) oh Tim that shot where Martin and Jon are on opposite sides of the door just absolutely kills me every time the daisy on her back turning into the teeth,,,, so perfect the last shotttttt aaaahhhhh the eyes in the sky and the silhouettes of jon and martin holding hands, aaaahhhh This has been me freaking out over a 3 minute animatic. Thank you for bearing with me :)

animatics that make me FLIP OUT thank you so much this is so gorgeous and every part of it makes me want to cry in a good way i will be thinking about it for weeks

oh my god this is incredible!!! your use of imagery - the daisy turning to teeth is Amazing, jon caught in the web, this is Amazing oh my god oh my god aaaaa

That was so amazing that I created a playlist mid video because I had to know exactly where to find this vid. I feel the definition of shook

THIS ROCKS SO HARD i can’t even put it intelligently just like. every frame of this made me go “woah!!!!”

THIS IS SO INCREDIBLE I LOVE IT, YOUR DRAWINGS ARE SO PRETTY, THE LYRICS MATCH SO WELL, EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ANIMATION IS AMAZING I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO I ABSOLUTELY ADORE IT 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

3 years later and I'm still obsessed with this

I literally don’t have the word to describe how perfect this is. Your art is phenomenal and the lyrics fit with it so well.

This song fits incredibly well with the show omg

This was visual poetry, and I'm absolutely stunned.

THIS IS BEAUTUFUL!!! THE ART IS SO DETAILLED AND VISUALLY PLEASING AND YOU CAPTURED THE VIBE OF THE SHOW AND EACH CHARACTER SO WELL.... I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

THIS IS SO SO WELL MADE i could stare at every frame for hoursssss

This is all I’ve ever wanted

This is so amazing!! There are so many little details that I just love, it's so good, and it fits TMA so well!!!

My mouth is hanging open... it's late and I'm a bit drunk rn but this is incredible. I love your designs though, recognisable yet unique!

this is god tier, I'm losing my mind

Can I just say, HOLY SHIT. My jaw hit the floor within the first 15 seconds. The music is a perfect fit for this first of all and the art is absolutely AMAZING?????????? I am blown away

This is so well-done and intricate! All the little details and the symbols for the avatars is so cool!!!

BRO... HOW DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS...... THIS SONG IS SUCH A PERFECT FIT AND YOUR ART IS INCREDIBLE

god i dont even have words to describe how amazing this is, this is my favorite tma animatic ive watched it so many times now, your art is just so spectacular and the perfect vibe for tma, ive been playing this video over and over for so long i have no words to describe how much i love this, but thank you for bringing it into existence

Hhhhh this is STUNNING!! One of the best animatics I've ever seen!

monster, monster, i feel like such a monster really hit?? this is INCREDIBLE.

DAISYS SCAR TURNING TO TEETH IS SUCH A SMART CHOICE HOLY SHIT

i literally cant say it better than the comments here- you are PHENOMENAL. fantastic work im gonna cry

This is gorgeous !!! I am in LOVE with your designs, especially Jon and Martin (I have an obvious soft spot for them). They're just so.... so good. I love how soft Martin is, and how rough Jon starts looking by the end, our poor boy. Still, just, amazing work!!

There's something satisfying about seeing how everything you imagined about the show is placed and animated in front of you; especially the barren landscape and the clustered eyes in the sky. I wasn't sure how to describe how I imagined it but I do now. Bravo!

It does not matter how many times I watch this, it gives me chills every time. This is a fantastic animatic, which has basically cemented the appearances of (nearly) every character in my mind. This show is too good, and it deserves more love.

Oh my god, this looks?? So good????? Your art style is gorgeous and it all flows so well! My personal favorite bit was daisy's petals turning into fangs, i had to stop to replay that bit again because ahhh! This is super awesome!

god, i almost never comment on youtube videos but i couldn't resist for this one. your style the icons for the entities the SYMBOLISM OF IT ALL is driving me up the wall. i'm not sure what to say that hasn't been mentioned in these comments already but here's a list of all the details i fell in love with: - the montage of the desk?? changing??? the things shifting and the JAR OF ASHES???? - the way you draw eyes is just so. chef's kiss. "these monsters i hold / i'm bringing them home" the light in his eyes is just haunting - minor but god do i love that you put basira and daisy preparing for the unknowing on "i'm better off alone" - the escape route line!!!! melanie king love of my life… and the fact that the eyes of the ghost on her shirt are scratched out too. key smashes incoherently - and also "i'm better off alone" with martin looking for jon first and then jon looking for martin. Cinematic Parallels. Fuck. - "I DON'T FEEL ANYTHING" AND GEORGIE BARKER SECOND LOVE OF MY LIFE, - everyone's said this but jon wearing the watcher's crown and the line "yeah, i know" just makes me feel things. almost teared up the first time lol anyway thank you for this work of art. all my friends have indirectly gotten to enjoy villains pt 1 because i keep humming the song while this animatic plays in my head like a tape recorder lmao

I love this so much. The harsh and Stark but super expressive style, the way the frames change in time to the music, how perfectly the song fits the Magnus archives -- omfg it's great

This is so cool, I love the symbols you made for each of the entities! Do you have a list of them anywhere? I was able to understand the main ones in the video but I didn't quite link up all of which were which.

The amount of detail in every frame is astounding!! This is brilliant.

If I would be forced to describe this thing with one word that word would be: Yes

I've watched this like 5 times and I still get chills. Perfect song choice and even more perfect art

I am utterly speechless after this. I have to watch it 20 more times just to catch all the details!!! This is absolutely incredible. I'm gonna go watch it again now!!!!

Shivers!!!! This is *so* good. Every frame, every detail, this is perfect!! Thank you for creating and sharing it!

This is so amazing, the choice of song is absolutely perfect, the what you made it feel like a real story with the repeated images building on each other and the symbolism (I loved the daisy turning into teeth) and the subtly you were still able to add with all the relationships. Some of the best TMA video content I have seen!!

Okay usually when I like an animatic enough to leave a comment there's like 2 or 3 things that stick out that I'm REALLY excited about and I focus in that but LITERALLY EVERYTHING in this animatic is amazing the parallels the imagery the metaphor the composition the use of value the juxtaposition of different lines, the increasingly messy desk the character designs specifically?? (I'm really good at telling what a person looks like based off their voice for some reason it's my one superpower and a lot of peoples depictions of the characters kinds just? Don't work? With either the character or the voice but these are SO GOOD!) Anyway, and the progression of story and the incorporation of the lyrics was seamless and visually ADDED to the frames?? What? God it's all just so good and like, I'm gonna cry it's so good I don't know what to do with these feelings im-

ok ok i know how late i am to this but i just wanna say i loved when melanie's eyes were crossed out when she blinded herself the ghosts eyes were crossed out to. the attention to detail is amazing this my favourite tma animatic ever

This is absolutely stunning, I kept making little gasps while watching! The song is a /perfect/ fit for TMA, and your art just hit those lines so well. Definitely going to be rewatching this often!

Omg this has made me so emotional. Reading a lot of the content people make that is more memey or lighthearted really makes me forget the tragedy of tma and its story. This was fantastic the art, song choice, everything I love this ❤️❤️

Every god damn grain is absolutely gorgeous.

i still think about this animatic years later, it's still so fucking good

That line of "you set yourself on fire just to light up a room" may very well have been a prediction and that's TERRIFYING

This is incredible I don’t even have words WOW the art style is amazing and the lyrics and just EVERYTHING

This fits so well

Okay I loved all of this but especially a) the bit at the beginning with Peter and Martin and the fog slowly swallowing them, and b) little sequence where Daisy's scar turned into the teeth just,,, stunned me

THE BEST THING I'VE SEEN TODAY AND THE ENTIRE QUARANTINE! thank you!

I could watch this over and over and over for the rest of my life. I would like to. It’s incredible.
