Critical Role Animatic - C2 E1 'Hi I'm Jester'

Finally finished this baby off! Wanted to pay homage to an amazing show by starting at the beginning.

Music: Peter Crowley - A Tavern For The Night

Jester picking up her chair to sit next to Nott and caleb was super adorable

[jack_jagger]

Everyone thinks Jester is the most adorable thing ever while I'm over here thinking Nott, played by a 43 year old man, is the cutest

[valashar]

I love all the different ways people animate Nott when she's listing the cons they can try.

[wrightcore]

Okay, I need a reason to catch up on Critical Role
"Hi, I'm Jester."
...Yep, there it is.

[timandshannon]

The at the end really sells her character!

[brosephnoonan]

"Its true! We have trouble seeing things that arent moving!"

**visible relief**

_"But I can hear you..."_

**P A NI C**

[MagnaOmerta]

Jester: "Hi I'm Jester"
Every hero in a 20 mile radius: PLEDGE TO PROTECT!

[amberpdavis]

The moment when Nott puts her mask on as soon as she realizes Jester is talking to them is like, the epitome of attention to detail, and I absolutely love it. So well done

[Whatevsman]

and from there, Caleb couldn't decide if his life took a turn for the better or the worse

[geoffrose]

"Hi, I'm Jester!"
Caleb internally: So you see, that's where the trouble began. That smile. That damn smile.

[mermidion]

"how much silver did i just get?"
"Seven!"
"Wooohoo!"
-And that is the same Girl who later complains About never being so poor when she just made over a hundred Gold xD

[DevilGeneImbued]

"Hi, I'm Jester"
**Caleb's little introverted heart begins to melt**

[occultjock]

Jester, Fjord, and Beau is like the jock table

[sleepy]

The other two laughing at the table while Jester bugs Caleb and Nott is awesome. You always kind of think of them laughing as OOC, but the idea that they're trying their damndest not to burst into laughter as their companion does all this crazy shit is even better.

[genesisfrog]

WOW this is AMAZING, the movement and the personality is evident in every bit of this. i love that jester drags her chair to caleb and nott and the angle & look on her face when she introduces herself is SO fitting. and the way caleb and nott lean away from her at the end when she gets even closer?? fantastic. i'm going nuts this is such a gem

[scepta]

The celebration over 7 silver is pure enough on its own, but with the additional context that her mom is rich and realistically Jester has a lot of money too makes it that much better. It’s only 7 silver, but she earned it, and is therefore excited

[snoozewarlock]

A lot of animations of Critical Role but this screams talent and personality. Well done, if animating isn't your job, people are missing out.

[robertlombardo]

Everything about Jester seems to be directed at making her adorable and fun. Her wagging tail, her fangs when she smiles, her sheer energy (probably from the baked goods!) I love Jester. Laura Bailey's best and most iconic role in my opinion.

[fatherpucci-madeinheaven]

"Hi im Jester"
Mah heart, mah soul

[garrettcarter]

"Yeah, I'm sticking with this voice for the next two years."
