(CAMP CAMP ANIMATIC) YOU WILL CALL US ASCENDANT 

It makes me so happy so many people got into TAZ through this video! I'm sorry I can't comment on every single one of you, but you guys rock! The audio in this is actually slightly edited to remove anything that doesn't fit in Camp Camp's context (which is a loot of spoilers hoo boy). While this is a conversation late in the campaign, I encourage you to check TAZ out anyway because you won't be spoiled by anything from this video!

Daniel: life is horrible David: understandable. have a nice day

HE JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF THEY WERE FRIENDS OH MY GOD

"Huh, i feel sad" me: Oh well, that's nor- " *and then he kills me* " me: WHAT THE HELL-

Anyone else remember that he just wanted to know if they were friends. Like that's some way to say no

Nothing like an existential crisis in the morning am I right?

There's something about the way he said 'and then he kills you...'

Daniel: "huh. I feel sad" Me: well.. "And then he kills him" Me: NO NOT DAVID 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

david: are we friends daniel: eternity is a concept that we can’t conceive and life itself is an endless loop of discontentment and infinite oblivion to knowing the visualisation of eternity’s treacherous arc david: o h

I just noticed that David touched his bandana when Daniel mention how short people lives are... was he thinking of Jasper? I speak spanish so yeah

me, immediately once I hear griffin: oh _nooooooooooooooooooooooo_

I can't believe I had a solid 7 minute, thirty second video for pose references. Gorgeous. Wonderful. Fantastic.

Welp time to listen to the adventure zone

I'm actually questioning life right now. I thought this was just a animatic with music,but I was terribly wrong. This is some deep shit

David: hey are you a pal Daniel: *existential angst*

me, seeing this and crying at 1:30am?? it's more likely than you think

I have no idea what Camp Camp is, I have never watched a single episode of The Adventure Zone before, but for some reason - maybe it's your terrific art, or narrator's soothing voice - I fell in love with this animatic. Since I don't know the story behind it, for me it's incredibly abstract and poetic. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making it. (Sorry for any mistakes, English isn't my native language)

"Huh, I feel sad," and he kills you. Well damn XD

24 houRS HOW?? HOW DO YOU CREATE SUCH PERFECTION IN SUCH LITTLE TIME OMGG

Can't even express how much I love your style

I've had to pause this because of Daniel's what happens after death bit. Because this horrifies me to not end. It has ever since I was a child. And I feel utter terror and anxiety at the thought of what could happen..... ;-;

OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!! I love Taz and Camp camp so much!! I just found out a couple of days that Jasper is voiced by Griffin and nearly had a heart attack

AFTER 2 MONTHS IVE FINALLY LISTNENED TO THIS EPISODE OF TAZ WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING BEFORE AND NOW OM SCREAMING

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO IS SO CONFUSED BC IDK WHAT CAMP CAMP IS BUT WATCHED IT ALL ANYWAY BC I LOVE UR ART N NOW I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS?????

I've never listened to The Adventure Zone and this gives me major chills

How is that god damn possible to create such a giant beautiful thing in 24 hours???? Damn you are so GREAT

And i'm watching this AGAIN for the sixth time.

Me watching this and falling in love with your art style? At midnight? It's more common than you'd think TBH

After watching this I just stared into space for 10 minutes and then googled adventure zone Now I'm an hour in and hooked SO FIRST YOU GET ME INTO CAMP CAMP AND NOW THIS HOW DARE YOU Also your art gives me life thank you so much

Can I just say that your use of Griffin's Out Of Character Laughter after "I don't always do things right and I don't always do things smart[...]" was INSPIRED??? You already did a great job cutting out the things that wouldn't make sense in the context of the animatic, but leaving that little laugh in was such a great character moment!!!!

I watched this before I knew what TAZ was and I thought it was an actual scripted show and that goes to show how remarkable Griffin and Clint are at storytelling both in general and in this scene. what a great animatic! I never thought about John and Daniel being so similar.

The video that introduced me to the adventure zone! The balance ark is to this day one of my favorite works of any kind, never have I laughed or cried so much because of a piece of media as I have because of my boy Griffins storytelling. I beg anyone reading this to listen to the adventure zone from episode one, it is so worth every minute. It is filled with great humor, speeches like this one and the BEST god damned characters in existence. And do avoid spoilers please, you will be shook by the story.

The merle dialogue totally fits David's outlook wow

first of all how dare

I feel like Nerris listens to The Adventure Zone

This is fuckin dope for such a niche audience. I love both works and it works surprisingly well. I also find it weird that you basically gave "dark david" a great backstory with him being a kid and all. Art is fucking fantastic. Keep doin what you doin, dude.

Oh m y god I sense a sad part coming up.. Edit:SPITS TEA THE FAK THEN HE KILLS HIM EHAT THE DKXJXKDD

This hurts I hurt My heart

Damn that went wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy deeper than I hoped it would. But that really isn't such a change, if I'm not in an existential crisis my life would be in utter disarray. ( hehehehe refrence hehe )

Daniel: Huh i feel sad Me: I wonder whhhh Narrator: and Daniel kills him Me: *shook af* AHHHHHHH ;;-;;

I know the audio is from TaZ but I was getting Welcome to Night Vale vibes from this. Love your art style btw

CAMP CAMP AND TAZ?! WHAT IS THIS?! AM I IN HEAVEN?!

Griffin McElroy is a goddamn genius. I loved this btw, the art is fan-fricking-tastic.

So... This is the first ever video I saw that involed TAZ and I got curious about it cause it sounded dope as heck. Now here I am.... _Episode 64_ *_You caused this addiction_*

This audio is what convinced me to start listening to The Adventure Zone, I'd heard of it and yeah it seemed alright but this video is what finally pushed me over the edge to love it the way I do now. Thank you

Daniel: im sad :( *stabs

"And he kills you" well then

I am here to re visit one of my favorite Camp Camp animations that I would watch over and over again during being stuck inside in 2020, really it still hits the same. I still adore how deep Daniel goes, and truly this line seems to fit his character. I listened to the full podcast and highly suggest it when you have nothing else to do, if you like the podcast be sure to watch Midnight Gospel after.

3:22 - 4:35 this. this is what ive been trying to tell people. but ive never had the right words. this is what i keep telling my friends and my family and it terrifies me to no end, but they always just tell me to brush it off and that i just being silly. also i love camp camp and your art is amazing.

This plunged me into a miniature life crisis but dANNGIT THIS IS SO WELL DONE AND IT FITS IN SO WELL WITH THESE TWO BAB'S 'FRIENDSHIP' AND THEIR NATURES AND PERSONALITIES AND I CAN SEE BOTH OF THEM SAYING THIS TO EACH OTHER BUT JUST AAHHHHHHHH!!! (Okay, so, I wrote this before the 'R.I.P David' part but everything is true above but like in an A.U. because I love my fictional babs getting along but hoLY JEEZ THAT JUST MESSED ME UP THAT'S LIKE KILLING A MIRROR IMAGE, A POSSIBLE VERSION OF YOURSELF LIKE WOAH-)

"Huh, I feel sad." **he kills you** wHY DO I FIND THIS PART SO FUNNY IN SUCH A SERIOUS AND EXISTENTIAL CRISIS HEAVY VIDEO

THIS GAVE ME AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS BUT ITS SO G O O D

I would like to point out that I came to the comment section not knowing what I would find. I noticed everybody went into Existential Crisis mode. I already had my moment of this thinking about death. I want people to know it don't matter where you go. Thinking about it is useless. You just gotta hope you go where what you believe in when you die. Just live in the moment and be happy.

It's been a long time coming, but 5 months ago I saw this animation and singlehandedly it is was inspired me to watch not only Camp Camp, but listen to the entirety of The Adventure Zone, which I just finished a few hours ago and which subsequently caused me try D&D for the first time a while back. I've been playing D&D for three months now and have made friends an connected to people that I would have never even spoken to if it weren't for you. Thank you. Thank you so much for this animation. Thank you so much for showing me these fandoms. Thank you!

oof i thank you for introducing TAZ to me bc I binge listened it and I'm currently in The Stolen Century arc :^)

OMG I HEARD GRIFFIN'S VOICE AND I DIEEEDDD YEEE I'd Never expected a fellow fan on this SIDE OF RU-vid!!

David: Are we friends Daniel: Lets talk the meaning of life

god i forgot how moving this scene was until you brought to life with this.

i LOVE how you draw david and daniel ,,,,, this animatic is so well done, and i love when they start talking about the sky changing?? you did such a nice job of conveying the feelings and the entire color palette in that part is absolutely stunning !!!

woaaaaaah i was not expecting TAZ with the finale you just- you broke my heart

Yeah I think about death often, I know I'll live in heaven for eternity in complete happiness but... it's eternal. You don't get to feel the pain or get live the life you had before. And it's goes on and on and you'll see everyone move along because your just one person out of a trillions. For as long as I'm on this Earth, I will see people kill themselves, each other, even the f**king planet that they live on. I will see the horrors and there's nothing I can do. I want it to stop, why must people kill, why do they think that's the answer? Can't people just stop for one second and look at the stars? Feel the ground beneath their feet and gravity keeping them from floating into the endless abyss? And just... breathe?

I really don't understand why people like a cultist character in a show so much.

listen I love this video so much and you are crazy talented but all I can hear is Jasper narrating

I opened it because I have a passionate love for Camp Camp and was pleasantly surprised to hear Griffin/John and Clint/Merle! This is a wonderful video!

"And he kills you" *inserts Oof audio*

Anyone else just listening to this and wanting more? More audio I mean, I want to hear more of this strange conversation thing that's going on between these two guys.

//sees ending// woAh WOAH WHAT

in reality I'm sure a lot of us relate to this. sadly I can say I'm more with "Daniel" aka the hunger. it's the sad reality but it's true. this podcast had a deeper meaning. the "hunger" must be the inner self We all have.

*slams face first into hallway*

I had a straight face while watching until.. "...and he kills you." Me: PFFFFFTTTTTTTT HAHHAHAHAHAAHHHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!! NOOOOOO NOT NOW!!! SON OF A HHIPPOPOTAMUS!!

Nothing like an existential crisis at 12:30 in the morning.

God, you have no idea how much this touched me. it's just, amazing animation, my favourite character and all combines just so good. I found this amazing, just, wow. the expressions, the way you draw both of them, a little bit different from each other it's just so great. it's my third time watching it in a row, you deserve more acknowledge for this.

I've watched this like 4 times and my brain had gone to places I didn't think possible I think I'm crying I'm pondering reality and thinking abt how we know nothign Ok I'm definitely crying

I know I'm late. But I could actually see this happening in Camp Camp. Well not as dark... But maybe yeah. The characters suit their roles. And when Daniel said: ' Huh, I feel sad.' I wasn't even shock when he killed David, I almost saw it coming. But it hurt no less, David is an optimistic person, maybe not at the beginning, but he tries so hard to show people the good. Gives hope to others, but save none for himself. And it just baffles me how despite all the crud he had been handed with, he still tries! But Daniel? He sees things as it is, meaningless to the point where he manipulate others to follow. And he knows its truth, to him its facts, and to others as well. The exact opposite of David. But seeing David try you can't help but feel like trying too. If it was anybody else I would have burn that camp to the ground but for David( if he were ever real), I would actually try. And that's scary because all your life you think you have it figured out. Then all of a sudden this little sunshine comes in, and the longer your with them you start to change. And change is terrifying, you start to question everything you ever thought, start to believe and...hope. Then one day you start to realise it won't matter anymore, you look at the sunshine that comes into your life and struck with the thought of them leaving one day. Never coming back. You reset, start to distance yourself, in hopes of it hurting less when you realise you have to let them go. And that's how I think Daniel thoughts went, he felt sad because, David, probably one of the only people who he thought could understand him would. But they didn't, and its sad, yes, but once their gone the pain will be gone too. I'll fade away like the rest of them. They always have. That will never change. ' And he kills you.' I'm sorry if I drag this long. But I hope no one attacks me on this. I'm just putting in what I thought could have been, and why it happened. Although the audio is from another show and is way different from the Camp Camp, I can't help but fell like for this part they would fit together nicely. Anyway. Ciao! P.S Everything about this is beautiful and amazing. Thank you for making this master piece!

T A Z?! C A M P C A M P?!?! IM IMMEDIATELY IN LOVE

I remembered listening to this years before I started watching TAZ and then I come up this conversation, I remembered this animatic and it still a punch in the gut of Merle’s and John’s ideals, I thank you for this lovely and beautiful work of art

It's been 2 years but I'd like to thank you for this video, because it was my introduction to The Adventure Zone and MBMBAM and everything else McElroy, and dnd shows which lead to Critical Role and everything else. I'm an ultra major nerd thanks to you

I wasn’t expecting that ending and now I’m crying at two in the morning What How could you do this to me. My sweet baby David. WHY

I- just. . . Woah.

ok i love this don't get me wrong but I did not expect an existential crisis in a package along with watching this video lol

IT FITS SO WELL also you got me hooked on TAZ and I'm not sure if it's a blessing or a curse

I saw this and never knew where it came from. A few months later I stumble upon TAZ. And I watched it happily and eventually I remembered this video and was like "Oh shit wtf"

I'm just going to say something really quick. I am absolutely in love with your style and the colors you used. I just 100% love this animatic so much, I can't even express to you how much I love it.

Daniel as The Hunger is 👀👌👌

...Welp, you've just earn yourself a subscriber, a like and a comment. I'll be counting on you to keep making top notch animatics.

shoutout to this video for being the first bit of TAZ audio I heard. when I later got into it I had just been like "where do I know these voices from??" i think i realized maybe around the later bits of the Here There be Gerblins arc. once this bit happened i had an "OOHHHHH THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH" moment,

**hears taz and sees Camp camp** I'VE BEEN SUMMONED

To anyone who's never listened to TAZ: first of all, you should really do it. It's really funny until the end of the third arc, where the real feels start. Second of all, don't worry, Merle died, but he got better. I was so used to hearing it in the TAZ context, I've kind of become numb to him dying during the Stolen Century, but out of that context, it really drives home how horrific it must've been every time. Third of all, I don't even know about Camp Camp, but I might get into it now. And now I'm really sad about John Hungry Man.

The fact that griffin McElroy (the voice of the narrator) plays jasper in camp camp makes this 10x better

*iM LITERLALY SOBBIGN HOLY SHI T THANK YOU FOR THIS SO MUCH I HIPE YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY/NIGHT*

I just wanna let you know that this is why I started listening to the adventure zone last year and since then I've loved it and finished it twice. So thanks!!

That was a deeper ride than I signed up for. Oof Beautiful drawings though (:

You got all this from one episode...? IT'S *S U B T E X T* STEVEN

holy cow?? this is super good?? like I LOVE their facial expressions and this is a combination I never would've expected, but it really works- there's also something to be said about the animatic itself like the composition that really helps the viewer picture the scene in their head (anD YOU MADE THIS IN 24 HOURS?? LIKE HOW???)

Whelp, nothin' like staying up at 1:38 in the morning and watching this. on a school night. *IT WAS WORTH IT* *BECAUSE IT IS BEAUTIFUL*

Hey um... Daniel... you aren't supposed to kill your lover, y'know.

I LOVE CAMP CAMP AND I LOVE THE ADVENTURE ZONE AND I LOVE YOUR ART AND I LOVE THIS

Wow... I Never Seen Nothing Like This But Shit Got Me Realizing So Much 😱

This is it. The video that got me into TAZ.

I AM SCREAMING. I WAS JUST.. SO... IMMERSED IN THIS ANIMATIC. IT IS BEAUTIFUL AND HONESTLY IT TOOK MY BREATH AWAY. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY
