Defying Gravity Storyboards

- Dear Stephen Schwartz,
I know you can relate to the plight of loving a story, loving a medium, and trying to convince someone in power to see your vision! You did it with Marc Platt when you convinced him to make it a stage musical. I’m just approaching you with the same sincerity. Is it possible to talk you out of doing a live action movie adaptation? Would you consider doing a traditionally animated adaptation? In my heart I think the musical needs the medium, and I think the medium needs your musical. I just love them both so much and hopefully that shows through in the story reel.
Sincerely,
Heidi Jo Gilbert - Фільми й анімація
I’ve revisited this many times to see what perfect boards look like
There is absolutely no way the film version will be able to capture all the nuances that this storyboard does.
The moment where Elphaba jumped off the balcony and landed on her flying broomstick gave me goosebumps! I LOVE IT! If I was in charge of Disney animation studios, I would of green lit this project in a heartbeat!
i just got here from the official movie trailer because i was watching that and like 'where have i seen something like this before?' it's here! it's been right here!
Maybe she worked on the film 👀👀👀
I love how this one actually depicts her fighting, rather than just a bunch of magic fluff and fleeing. She was committing treason, after all, and it's much closer to her fiercer nature in the book-verse
0:56 "You know your path, child. Now, follow it!"
Ive never gotten so many chills from watching an animatic in my LIFE
This is a masterpiece and deserves way more attention.
I'm all on your Side!!!!!!!
I've been watching this animatic almost from the day it was posted. Five years later, there are shots that bring tears to my eyes. I truly hope you've found a place at some animation studio and making them amazing art!
She has! She works for DreamWorks:D
Chills, EVERY time I watch this. What blows my mind is that so many shots set up an *expectation,* and then *shatters it,* especially from broomstick on. Each choice about WHERE to place the camera is freaking brilliant, leading to this rapid-fire delivery of expectaton / payoff / expectation / payoff that just lands, BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. BOOM. Sharp, dynamic storytelling. Not at all surprised that @heidijobilbert has had a very successful animation career on numerous BIG projects after this. TALENT SHOWS, even in rough sketches like these, where every gesture and body stance communicates a truthful, insightful performance from the character. Sooooo impressive!
All the other versions I've seen are way too static and merely copy what's seen on stage. This is very cinematic and dynamic and takes advantage of the freedom and scale afforded by animation. Love it!
Seeing that this is the top comment, may I also recommend this version: ua-cam.com/video/MlMV01edas0/v-deo.html. It's a wicked x adventure time mash up but it's an awesome piece of animatic storytelling
This one is actually pretty good: ua-cam.com/video/2lGXNdOrS68/v-deo.html
THIS IS THE BEST ONE IVE SEEN YET
Especially because a Disney animator made it!
i'm living for that new description. i'd also love to watch an animated wicked instead of the live action one they're planning to make.
This NEEDS to be an animated film.
I know right! I totally agree with you! I'M ALL ON YOUR SIDE!!!
Anytime I go back to this animatic. It's my all time favorite. I just love everything about it and I can only hope one day they make an animated wicked movie. It'd be amazing
And I hope you're lead storyboard artist cause i love your art style
I can't be the only one that's reminded of that scene where Elsa makes a staircase out of ice at 1:30, makes sense considering Idina Menzel both voiced Elsa & played Elphaba.
This animatic still manages to give me chills all over my body the same way it did when I first watched it 5 years ago and didn't know anything about wicked. I still don't know much about it now but every now and then I think about this and I'm delighted all over again
WOW. This doesn’t need animation - it’s perfect already!
This was epic. No it was mythical. No it was simply perfection.
YOU"RE AMAZING. And you're right...we don't WANT a Wicked animated film...We NEED a Wicked animated film.
I just want to tell you, I'M ON ALL YOUR SIDE!!!!!
I hope they hired you as the storyboard artist for the live action adaptation coming in 2021.
Hopefully it officially comes out this year. They better come out with an official trailer for it!
I'm just. Completely speechless. This is genuinely jawdropping, just, great work!
still one of my favs by far oh my God
I love this so much.
Heidi this is such wonderful work! I hope this ask eventually is fulfilled, sometime in the near future! Our family loves animated musicals.
I really hate to break your heart but this broke mine too if it means anything. There was an interview with Schwartz where he was asked about this and if he seen this animatic. He enjoyed the animatic and responded to animated adaptation with "no for multiple reasons" and moved on. He didn't even list a single one he just shoved off from the question. You would think someone who gets cut credit for his work would sympathize with animation and appreciate it's merit for a film adaptation.
This is on par (in my opinion) with that Wicked - Adventure Time version animatic!
Holy crap this is amazing!
yaaaay I'm so happy this is finally on UA-cam!!!
Gives me chills every time.
Saw this on the internet when u first posted it still my favorite animated version of the musical
I just wanted to say your art is amazing and I am happy to see you post again
I saw your character studies and I’m amazed! This takes true talent, and I would know bc I’m an artist as well.
I love this... I hope in the movie version that they show the Wizard and Madame Morrible watching Elphaba as she flies
I hope so too, I've seen other animatics that show them
Image if this is in Disney THIS WORK DESERVE S SO MUCH CREDIT RIGHT NOW so beautiful 🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆
God THIS IS .... GOD I CAN’T EVEN WRITE LOOKS SO PROFESIONAL THIS IS AMAZING !!! AHHH GOD ! 💖

This one is extremely interviewed for the amount of dynamic shots included ugh
this is honestly amazing and deserves way more views and attention! pls do more from the soundtrack!! would love to see For Good or Dancing Through Life!!!
Me too! I would LOVE to see "For Good" and "Dancing Through life" with this animation!
It's amazing and so wonderful! And the other songs too!
Absolutely amazing omg, I hope he listened to you T-T cause I got chills at the end WOWOWOW
This is some serious talent! My sister is a huge wicked fan and she just loved this!
This is underrated WHYYYYY
This is the best animatic I have ever seen!
0:50-0:58 Did I just hear a small musical note from Savages?
I had chills watching this 💖

Absolutely gorgeous, can't stop watching! Awesome work!
this legit gave me chills, amazing!!
THIS IS AMAZING I need you to animate a disney movie omg
This is AWESOME!
This is so incredible!
Holy- this- this right here. Beauty.
This is amazing!!
The original. 🙏🏾❤️
You've worked real good and hard on the storyboard.
This should be an animated film.
I don't know how they'll ever make this as a movie but I agree it should be in animation.
I hope it will too.
Who knows how it'd would work in
live action these days?
This isn't 1939 you know.
(Which was the year the Wizard Of Oz film was made just to mention.)
I heard Wicked has been in progress to be a movie since possibly the musical was made.
Interesting fact, they planned to adapt this into a film but they decided to adapt it as Broadway first.
I heard Universal Studios is trying to make the film, however the director has sadly left because of that virus.........
I just hope whatever they do, they will do this in a best and serious way they can.
This is not only based on a great musical but Wicked is also inspired by one of the greatest stories for all ages from childhood to the golden years.
However the film must've been in progress for a long time so hopefully they done they're best.
Disney could do this as they’ve gotten Kristen and Idina on their payroll!
This is amazing! I love this sooo much!
Masterpiece ✨💚
0:50 this part of the music came from Pocahontas every time I hear this part I'm saying this you know your path child now follow it.
Thank you
One of my favorite ones. I kinda wish she would fly through the clock's face shattering it's glass all over the guards 😈
Yeah, that would have been cool!
I love this
If this was the storyboard that got adapted to the new Live Action film. I AM GOING TO BURST INTO TEARS THIS WAS PHENOMENAL 🤟🔥🤟🔥🤟🔥🤟🔥🤟🔥🤟🔥🤟🔥🤟🔥
Where’s the rest of it?! The beginning part?
Uhm.....S T O R Y B O A R D !?!?!?!?!
Only one thing missing - if it had been me I'd have her sky-write "YOU'LL NEVER BRING ME DOWN" in the sky at the end, as another visual nod to the 1939 movie.
The fact that you have so few subscribes is a sin.
nice storyboard, dynamic and great poses. Music sucks though :)
Good News for all of you Wicked fans out there;
a movie musical adaptation is in the works. Jon M. Chu, director of Crazy Rich Asians, and the movie musical adaptation of In The Heights, is set to direct.
There's only one little catch; it has to be done in two separate parts; Part 1 for 2024, and Part 2 for 2025.
here's the link to the stage musical. look for Legacy and Anniversary Tributes, and you'll see the explanation.
