I love how Hera straight up said release him after Athena pointed out that he never cheated on his wife. He's so damn loyal even Hera said release him!
@@Dancer_Of_BorealThat's really saying something too because Hera was petty as hell and would torment any woman Zues looked at wrong. The fact that his loyalty touched even her bitter heart is huge.
i think this is the most complete and perfect way to experience the musical. Not only the subtitile are not in the way of the animatics but they complete it and add more to it. And somehow you managed to take the best parts of each animatic. Sir, the day you add the ithaca saga when enough animatic are out, my life will be complete.
It helps that beside being the messenger god (and god of a few other things like thieves, travelers) he's also the trickster god of Greek mythology so being goofy fits. At least that's from Greek myth I've read and sometimes he could not be accounted as the trickster as not all myths are the same.
11:48 The cave *(scary cave)* 11:58 East *(That way)* I love the idea that there's this one winnion that just can't tell directions and also blurts out- scary cave like he just has a special nickname for "the cave" in his head. 😂 But nobody takes him seriously when he tells them about the adventure he had when he was on the drugs (lotus) and was scared. Nobody else takes the cave seriously because the drugs (lotus) are enough to sustain their life and give them unparalleled happiness so Odysseus just missed out the prompt that the cave is dangerous 😂

Holy shit holy shit holy shit. So I had heard of Epic the Musical but never gone down the rabbithole. I just stumbled across this and now I am obsessed. You, uh, created a monster😅
Things that make this musical hit harder 1. Odysseus has been with Penelope sense they where 13 and he was the reason the Trojan war was such a cluster 2. Hermes is Odysseus’ great grandfather 3. Eurylochus is actually married to Odysseus baby sister, so he’s literally his brother in law!
@@Javidom14 It was probably because in the myth, he's the one who proposed the oath that every suitor of Helen had to vow and uphold, something about protecting her chosen one (the reason given in the Pick Me cut song) or that they'll go to war to protect the sanctity of their marriage. Something along those lines, anyone correct me if I'm remembering wrong please. But that's like saying Achilles's mother is to blame too because she's too beautiful and Poseidon and Zeus both wanted her for themselves, but they couldn't have her so they decided to give her to a mortal instead. Then proceeded to invite every god except for Eris, the goddess of discord, and the origin of the trial of the apple of discord that made Aphrodite give Paris the most beautiful woman in the world AKA Helen. It's neither here nor there, really.
@@Kireshvayeah that’s pretty much what happened as Helen’s father was fearful that the suitors that were not chosen would burn everything to the ground
the editing on this is INSANE. you did a really good job incorporating different animatics together! the intermission is also hilarious (but in the wrong place if placing between acts; act 1 ends with monster) the pink pony one made me howl. polites was real for that. i can't wait to see the ithaca saga incorporated!
100% all of this! A couple of mistakes, like intermission being in the wrong spot and some subtitle mistakes but the effort and result in this is LEGENDARY
Tbf despite the intermission being placed in the wrong place, doing it before the 7 year time skip from a narrative perspective is a pretty good alternative placement so I can’t really complain
This is what i'm showing my friends and family if they ever are interested in Epic! Well, edited and can't wait to see it fully completed with Ithaca Saga
Of the century? This was ~1300 BCE. Dude’s crash out was so legendary the story of it literally predates writing in Greece, survived an actual apocalypse (Bronze Age collapse), and became a literary work that still stands with considerable cultural cache 3,300 years later. It’s the crash out of all time. 12,000 years of human civilization history and this is it.
@@lukegodfrey649do you know when your final version will come out?? I want to have a watch party for a bunch of my classmates who haven’t listened to Epic yet but I want the Ithaca saga to be in it too 😭
WHY IS THIS SO WELL MADE??? i love how the lyrics not only sync but also shows some emotion with combining the small fonts and the big fonts, LOVE IT!!
This is a great collection of artists who in their own way make the songs feels great, shoutout for all the artists in the description and the people who made Epic the Musical
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW YOU USED MULTIPLE ARTISTS FOR EACH SONG THANK YOU Can’t wait for the full version with the Ithaca Saga! (Also love how all the “canon” animatics are in there) Edit: THE INTERMISSION HAHAH Edit 2: if possible when you make the final video can you make the intermission after Monster
This is incredible, must have taken so long! I cannot *wait* for the version with the Ithaca Saga - this is 100% the version I'll be sharing with my friends and family
My dad SERIOUSLY just said that he would only listen to Epic if someone put all the animations together!! THANK YOU!!! Edit: Oh snap, I started a war in the comments 😬
Please just watch a playlist so the people who actually worked on the animations get the views/credit. Regardless of what Luke has put in the description this is straight up theft and not transformative/fair use in the slightest.
But it is, though. In the same way that the original animations are not stealing from the Epic music itself. The custom work on thematic caption animation and transitions between animatics during songs makes this a video worth watching on its own merit. You will also notice they have added in color to several of the animations that didn't before, to make transitions between more smooth. Honestly, just the captions alone are worth it because a lot of the solo animatics don't have english captions, just AI ones, and some people need captions to understand music.
There is a difference between making an animatic with Jorge's blessing (The creator of Epic). And stealing multiple people's work for your own channel without permission.
I adore this! I love how you stitched together multiple animatics for one song at times to better fit- say during Warrior of The Mind- I love that one animatic here 13:34 but the whole thing actually changes the context of when the song happens, but stitching it together with others actually helps with that while still keeping the beautiful animation!
THE SUBTITLES ARE SO FUN AND DEFINITELY MAKES THIS POP MORE WOW, THE EDITING IS AMAZING TOK HOLY SHT. ALSO YOUR CHOICE OF ANIMATICS IS GOLD AND I LOVE IT AHHH, YOU INCLUDED SO MANY AND I ADORE IT DJGKGK, THE INTERMISSIONS ARE HILARIOUS LMAO
1:59:53 Y’know I really love the way this animator portrays Poseidon, and not just the fire design. They don’t make him a complete monster, he hesitated for a moment when Ody tried to reason with him, he even lowered himself down to Odysseus’ level, he looks sad, but he can’t just stop.. he has a reputation to keep, Ruthlessness is mercy, after all.. And when Ody reaches his hand out, he takes a couple seconds to slip back into his angry state of mind, it almost looks like, maybe, if he didn’t get pissed off again, he might have accepted Odysseus’ suggestion to just give up on the fight, and go back home (which would have saved him a lot of pain-), he thought about it for a while.. and that just kinda makes me happy, warms my heart a little, even though he’s the one claiming ruthlessness to be mercy, he’s still a little conflicted, he wants to move on, but he can’t.. he said it himself, he had a reputation, a name to uphold.. even if maybe, he doesn’t want to keep up that reputation all the time.
Holy cow, the way you make the animatics fade in and out to reinforce some sections is genius, the transitions are perfect, cannot wait for Ithaca to watch with my family
Idc what anyone says, this was a masterpiece. 4 mins in and I had goosebumps almost a tear. I need to see a play of this with everyone in it. And to the people who animated this you truly enhanced this, the emotion you get from watching is so real. Thank you everyone who has come together to make the music and animations.🙏🏾
Yeah same 🤣 🤣 and at the same time swooned by his hotness, like my inner fangirl screamed and blushed super hard. But the one that really had me on the floor was the Carl Wheezer bit during "different beast" 🤣🤣🤣
I love how this movie/compilation uses all necessary parts the animatics show differently to cover the parts of the song that we dont see in a singular person's perspective ❤🎉 You put so much effort into this!!! And it SHOW🎉🎉
I read the Odyssey my sophomore year when the first saga dropped. I never bothered listening to Epic until literally a couple of days ago.. and I have no regrets. This video was such a huge help with visualizing not only the story, but the amount of support and love put towards the project. Thank you so much!! 💕
this was the best way to do this kind of video pulling from multiple animators, if you’re going to do an entirely new cut for the ithaca saga i would strongly recommend neal illustrator, they’re one of the best animators to make anything epic related in my opinion.
If you make the entirety of this but with the final saga, a few suggestions i wanna add is like, adding the name of each song and maybe credit to the artist when their animatic is shown? But im assuming this was all for fun and not to represent the entire musical as a whole so thats alright because either way this was SUCH A FUN WATCH YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB With the subtitles, the mixing of animatincs, the colors, the mixing of the music with the old animatics, just STELLAR! Thanks for making this!
Working on adding WAY more artist credits as we speak! I did not think this project would blow up as fast as it did and I wanna make sure I can at least send some of this love from the fandom to the people that worked so hard on all these☺️
not a criticism, I love your choices, but when I was choosing an animatic for Thunder Bringer, I specifically chose one where the ending had the rest of the crew except for Eurylochus attack Odysseus. I can't explain why but I preferred it when Eurylochus hung back
THIS IS SO PERFECT I CANNOT WAIT TO SHOW MY FRIENDS THE WHOLE MUSICAL ONCE YOU RELEASE THE ONE WITH THE FINAL SAGA. You have done the whole fanbase a great service and we all thank you. If I may suggest tho: 1. In the Poseidon torture scene in 600 strike from "you idiot", let it just be the one in Jorge's livestream for maximum darkness and emphasis on monstrosity 2. Have as many animatics from Jorge's livestream as you can in the Ithaca saga because those have maximum monster and emotions especially in Hold Them Down, Odysseus, and WYFILWMA 3. End with gigi's animatic of WYFILWMA 4. In the 2nd chorus of Dangerous, have the animatic switch to Jorge's livestream version because twerking Hermes lmao 5. In the final chorus of The Underworld, consider switching animatics to ShiQing47's version, with a bit of green sprinkled in 6. As much as Thunder Bringer feels like the Act 1 closer, Act 1's closer is actually Monster
I wholeheartedly believe during the underworld Saga and beyond the voices of the fallen where allowed to be heard by Odysseus is because Hades allows it, mostly out of spite of Poseidon but possibly because Athena asked her cool uncle to keep him motivated.
ok literally this is the best thing ever. THANK YOU for featuring so many artists in this. also your editing skills are phenomenal! i mean using different animatics within the same shot? genius. I need a version with the Ithaca Saga added like asap bro. job well done
I love how well you transitioned between each animatic! It’s not choppy, and it always felt like it was at a great time in the song too! Great work, and I’m excited to see how you do with the Ithica Saga!
GOOSEBUMPS THE ENTIRE TIME!! I’ve never really been involved with the concept albums outside of seeing clips from animatics but THIS?? I’m hooked and mildly obsessed!! TYSM for putting together the story!!
got to the first song where our choices differ: Ruthlessness. the animatics you chose were great but I loved in the Neal Illustrator one how for the entire song the fleet was just trying to survive because merely being in the presence of an angry god is dangerous, even if he's not angry specifically at you. But the AniFlamma and Gigi animatics are both really good choices
I am a SUCKER for AniFlamma's Poseidon lol. The dark horse vibes creep me out in the best way. Neals is so good tho, I might try to incorporate more of their animations into it
I actually think using Gigi's and Anniflamma's Ruthlessness is a great choice because of their depictions of Poseidon. Neal's art style is incredible and I love her inclusion of the crew, but her Poseidon is way to angry about what happened to Polyphemus when Epic Poseidon doesn't really care for his son. As shown in "Get in the Water, Poseidon in EPIC is more concerned about his reputation and Gigi and Aniflamma's animatics convey that much more in my opinion.
@@animeentranced1130 I just watched the bit for Ruthlessness and couldn't see that but also theearteest wasn't credited in the description so I don't think they were
@@jacobrasmussen2176 this was pretty much my thought process when putting ruthlessness together, not only that but Gigi and AnniFlammas aesthetics for Poseidons design just mesh together well. Nothing against Neals version. Their Poseidon looks AMAZING, It just didn't seem to fit very well to me with everything else
the way i had to pause around 1:01:13 because Ody singing with his mom made me full on sob And i have no clue why lmao, usually that part of the song gets me teary eyed for sure but this time I was just full on sobbing all of a sudden Maybe that's how i know this musical is a masterpiece lol, I've never had a musical make me cry like that before
I'm Not Sorry For Loving You is probably one of the saddest in this whole thing because the only look into what happened to her after is she apparently took her own life because she never got over loving Odysseus.
@qwerty_qwerty The funny thing about Greek mythology is technically nothing is "canon". There are countless different writings of all these characters and many of them contradict each other, and each myth evolved over time. Calypso was first introduced into Greek mythology by Homer when he wrote The Odyssey and her origin wasn't really talked about, and very little was written about her after that. A few authors came out after Homer to expand a bit on her story. What was mostly agreed upon from their writings is that her father was the god Atlas and her mother was the sea nymph Pleione - and nymphs are mortal. That would make Calypso a demigod, which are not immortal and can die. They can live a very long life and can be very powerful, but they can die. There are other sources that suggest both her parents were gods, but that's less agreed upon and wouldn't be considered "canon" for a lack of better words. Most agree that Calypso spent like 50-100 years sitting at the shore hoping for Odysseus to return, and when he didn't the heartbreak drove her to take her own life.
@@qwerty_qwerty P.S. Oh yeah, and I forgot to say that the musical concept EPIC took quite a few artistic liberties when they wrote many of these songs and a lot of the little details strayed away from The Odyssey. And even more artistic liberties were taken in the animations. I don't have any problem with this because that's literally how Greek mythology evolved over time. But I'd just suggest to take EPIC with a grain of salt when you wonder how close it is to the original The Odyssey. I loved it either way and think they did a great job bringing a nearly 3000 year old story into the 21st century.
@samanthadrakos Right, but I'm talking about canon to EPIC specifically. It's very clearly stated in LIP that Calypso is a goddess and she can't die. I think other authors expanding on Calypso's story is interesting, but I just wanted to add a clarification for EPIC.
@qwerty_qwerty I guess I don't understand what you mean. LIP as well as all of the songs in EPIC were written by Jorge Rivera-Herrans. Being that he took a lot of artistic liberties when writing the lyrics, that means there's nothing canon about any of the songs in EPIC. And there have been no other releases or remakes of EPIC to compare versions. So... like... EPIC in its entirety is just canon to itself. Unless you're trying to say that "goddesses can't die" is not an original lyric in the musical?? Like, the singer just threw it in there for funzies? If that's what you're saying, then yes that lyric is original. The lyrics were written by JRH and the singers were all hired through a company to sing these specific lyrics. So, again, the whole of EPIC is canon to itself. If that's not what you mean then I'm totally confused.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your efforts, comrade! 😳❤ The editing, dude, this whole thing is so well done! Thank you so much for sharing 😮😮❤❤
Full speed ahead showed up on my playlist randomly... And my FING GOD I had goosebumps watching this the entire time. Thank you for putting this together. The subtitles really added to it, and the artwork from all the amazing people. And all of the amazing vocals.
Omg thank you so much! I’ve been trying to find all the animations so I can show my husband Epic because he’s not so great at listening to lyrics. I’ve been having some trouble but you have just made my day!!!
Omg I hadnt listend to epic the musical before id just heard a couple songs and this is quiet possibly the best thing I've found in the last two years it allowed me to sit down and watch it and I loved that there where subtitles that didn't take away from it and I loved seeing all the different animators styles this is awesome
This is my favorite adaptation I hated in the original how dedicated he was towards his wife and son just to basically cheat on them with circe and Calypso This one Sept for that kiss scene He stayed truthful to them which made the story more impactful
THANK YOU. This is amazing!!!!!! I was wishing this kind of thing existed. The way you chose the best parts of every animatic. The ONE thing I hope you include if you make a complete version with the Ithaca saga is the hand letting the baby go at the end of Gigi’s “Just a Man” animatic. It’s included in their combined “Horse and the Infant/Just a Man” video. It’s such a pivotal moment and it makes it clear that Ody did in fact kill the infant. But seriously be proud, this is the BEST way to experience the musical right now!
Yeah honestly Athena wasn’t too smart there in my opinion 😂 Like the moment Hera said “give me one good reason”, the first thing out of Athena mouth should have been “This man has been faithful to his wife for 20 years”. It would have made Hera’s apperance much shorter but like come on Athena, it was so painfully obvious you said that one line and Hera would have agreed instantly 😂
ADORE how you edited this!!!! transitioning between the best parts of different animatics!! you made the transitions so smooth so that each addition of a different animatic only intensified the feeling of the music!! great job! thanks for making this and crediting everyone :))
I watched this in 2x speed just because i have to go to bed and i cant afford a lack of sleep three days in a row. But omg yall, listen to this again just in 2x speed. Keep your friends close made me laugh so hard. On a different note, well done. I knew most of the artists you chose which i was quite happy about
I just found this today and I watched it in whole right this instant! It's GODLIKE! I love it so much!! Thank you SO MUCH for building this. It's such an awesome way to tell the Odyssey Thank you so much! 🙇🏾♂️🙇🏾♂️
I’ve been making a playlist of my own but I can’t pick my favorite animatic of each. Especially as my fam each has their favorites. THANK YOU for combining all my favorites so beautifully!!!
twillykat has an amazing animatic to "would you fall in love with me again" ! I highly suggest looking into that. Appreciate this video with all animatics and artists!
I was LITERALLY making a video like this today so I could watch Epic with my friend who's partially deaf, and it was so much work, my video editor flunk on me too 😭😭 and now I found this video and you! You're my hero, thank you for putting in all the hard work 💙💙 I can't wait to watch Epic with my friend!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS!! You're so good at picking the best moments from each artist, giving all of them an opportunity to shine! So happy to be part of this fandom, and so excited for the Ithaca Saga update!
Oh my gosh I was waiting for someone to make something like this. I'm so excited to watch this! Can't wait for when you add Ithaca once there are more animations/animatics made!
The entire intermission with the bloopers and the joke animatics (was that the Free! Iwatobi outro dance Zeus was doing?) had me on the floor cackling.

"next to my wife" damn the loyalty odysseus has to his wife is on a different level bro

And somehow you managed to take the best parts of each animatic.
Sir, the day you add the ithaca saga when enough animatic are out, my life will be complete.

Couldn't agree more

My favorite line in the entire series comes from Poseidon, “ You’re the worst kind of good cause you’re not even great “ that hurt me
Really loved the "ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves."
@ definitely one of my favorites in the whole series
It's up there with "The line between naivety and hopefulness is almost invisible". Chilling.
@@QueenQeeko ''And Ody uses that line like a fcking jump rope''
To be honest i like the “I am your darkest moment,” as he twisted Odys exact line into his in power
i love how Hermes is portrayed as a goofy person in every animatic
I mean did you hear his Pillsbury Doughboy ass laugh? He a goofy mf, and we love him for it XD
It helps that beside being the messenger god (and god of a few other things like thieves, travelers) he's also the trickster god of Greek mythology so being goofy fits.
At least that's from Greek myth I've read and sometimes he could not be accounted as the trickster as not all myths are the same.

WHEN DOES A MAN BECOME A MOOOONSTER
Things that make this musical hit harder
1. Odysseus has been with Penelope sense they where 13 and he was the reason the Trojan war was such a cluster
2. Hermes is Odysseus’ great grandfather
3. Eurylochus is actually married to Odysseus baby sister, so he’s literally his brother in law!
Damn, maybe Eurylochus deserved what he got.
hmm? odysseus became king at 13, but he only knew penelope since he was 17
why was Ody the reason for the Trojan war to be such a cluster? i really don't know.
@@Javidom14 It was probably because in the myth, he's the one who proposed the oath that every suitor of Helen had to vow and uphold, something about protecting her chosen one (the reason given in the Pick Me cut song) or that they'll go to war to protect the sanctity of their marriage. Something along those lines, anyone correct me if I'm remembering wrong please.

It's neither here nor there, really.
@@Kireshvayeah that’s pretty much what happened as Helen’s father was fearful that the suitors that were not chosen would burn everything to the ground
You gotta add Ithaca saga and this will be my default form of sharing epic with people
Yeah the creator said they will when there more animatics for it lol
I can't wait for the full musical, this is so good, that will make it so fun and easy to share/rewatch

Lol yeeeah I kinda did him dirty. I'll try to give him a better one in the final version
@@lukegodfrey649Nha, it suits the character
i saw this comment before i started watching and i still wasn't ready for how fucking funny it actually is hahahahaha
@@lukegodfrey649do you know when your final version will come out?? I want to have a watch party for a bunch of my classmates who haven’t listened to Epic yet but I want the Ithaca saga to be in it too 😭
WHY IS THIS SO WELL MADE??? i love how the lyrics not only sync but also shows some emotion with combining the small fonts and the big fonts, LOVE IT!!
EXACTLYYY FRFRRR
This is a great collection of artists who in their own way make the songs feels great, shoutout for all the artists in the description and the people who made Epic the Musical
I’m just now realizing after rewatching Survive, that Polites is the only one who tosses his sword aside before helping Ody up.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HOW YOU USED MULTIPLE ARTISTS FOR EACH SONG THANK YOU
Can’t wait for the full version with the Ithaca Saga!
(Also love how all the “canon” animatics are in there)
Edit: THE INTERMISSION HAHAH
Edit 2: if possible when you make the final video can you make the intermission after Monster
The Intermisson killed me.
All of them.
xDDD
I am the monster rah rah rah 😘
Now all we have to wait for the Ithaca saga to have more animatics and we are GOLD
This is incredible, must have taken so long! I cannot *wait* for the version with the Ithaca Saga - this is 100% the version I'll be sharing with my friends and family
Thank you! I've been working on it for the past 6 months and can't wait to add more to it 🙂
ITS INCREADIBLE!!! u have a good eye for art.
My dad SERIOUSLY just said that he would only listen to Epic if someone put all the animations together!! THANK YOU!!!
Edit: Oh snap, I started a war in the comments 😬
Yeah me too but my sister said that
Same mine but since he can't undestand english i need to translate in italian for him so here i am transleting every line😂
Please just watch a playlist so the people who actually worked on the animations get the views/credit. Regardless of what Luke has put in the description this is straight up theft and not transformative/fair use in the slightest.
But it is, though. In the same way that the original animations are not stealing from the Epic music itself. The custom work on thematic caption animation and transitions between animatics during songs makes this a video worth watching on its own merit. You will also notice they have added in color to several of the animations that didn't before, to make transitions between more smooth.
Honestly, just the captions alone are worth it because a lot of the solo animatics don't have english captions, just AI ones, and some people need captions to understand music.
There is a difference between making an animatic with Jorge's blessing (The creator of Epic). And stealing multiple people's work for your own channel without permission.
I adore this! I love how you stitched together multiple animatics for one song at times to better fit- say during Warrior of The Mind- I love that one animatic here 13:34 but the whole thing actually changes the context of when the song happens, but stitching it together with others actually helps with that while still keeping the beautiful animation!
THE SUBTITLES ARE SO FUN AND DEFINITELY MAKES THIS POP MORE WOW, THE EDITING IS AMAZING TOK HOLY SHT. ALSO YOUR CHOICE OF ANIMATICS IS GOLD AND I LOVE IT AHHH, YOU INCLUDED SO MANY AND I ADORE IT DJGKGK, THE INTERMISSIONS ARE HILARIOUS LMAO
1:59:53 Y’know I really love the way this animator portrays Poseidon, and not just the fire design.
They don’t make him a complete monster, he hesitated for a moment when Ody tried to reason with him, he even lowered himself down to Odysseus’ level, he looks sad, but he can’t just stop.. he has a reputation to keep, Ruthlessness is mercy, after all..
And when Ody reaches his hand out, he takes a couple seconds to slip back into his angry state of mind, it almost looks like, maybe, if he didn’t get pissed off again, he might have accepted Odysseus’ suggestion to just give up on the fight, and go back home (which would have saved him a lot of pain-), he thought about it for a while.. and that just kinda makes me happy, warms my heart a little, even though he’s the one claiming ruthlessness to be mercy, he’s still a little conflicted, he wants to move on, but he can’t.. he said it himself, he had a reputation, a name to uphold.. even if maybe, he doesn’t want to keep up that reputation all the time.
"They're probably not gonna put Ximena's no longer you 😒"
😨😨 OMG
"I KNOW they're ain't putting zieru's dangerous 😒😒😒"
😨😨😨 I LOVE YOU

For anyone seeing this comment and wondering which two it’s about.
YES THE ONE GUY WHOSE WHOLE THING IS BEING FORGOTTEN IS HERE
Holy cow, the way you make the animatics fade in and out to reinforce some sections is genius, the transitions are perfect, cannot wait for Ithaca to watch with my family
Idc what anyone says, this was a masterpiece. 4 mins in and I had goosebumps almost a tear. I need to see a play of this with everyone in it. And to the people who animated this you truly enhanced this, the emotion you get from watching is so real. Thank you everyone who has come together to make the music and animations.🙏🏾
21:00 i love the cyclops design that was in this animatic right here, it so different from the other ones!
0:18 Slay 💅🫦
I slay everyday girly
Gay?
@ZacharyMann-v2u no just zesty
😂😂
@@noahharris2860 dawg I don't remember making this comment 💀
I love how everybody simultaneously agrees that Poseidon's captions all should be themed after his trident 🔱
Zeus in the intermission had me rolling on the floor 🤣 😂 💀 😭 😳 😆 🤣 😂 💀 😭 😳 😆 🤣 😂 💀 😭 😳
Pure zest
@pamorastorystudios2578 lol
Yeah same 🤣 🤣 and at the same time swooned by his hotness, like my inner fangirl screamed and blushed super hard. But the one that really had me on the floor was the Carl Wheezer bit during "different beast" 🤣🤣🤣
I love how this movie/compilation uses all necessary parts the animatics show differently to cover the parts of the song that we dont see in a singular person's perspective ❤🎉 You put so much effort into this!!! And it SHOW🎉🎉
HELP THE WAY ODY STARTED SINGING ALONG IN WARRIOR IF THE MIND 😭
I read the Odyssey my sophomore year when the first saga dropped. I never bothered listening to Epic until literally a couple of days ago.. and I have no regrets. This video was such a huge help with visualizing not only the story, but the amount of support and love put towards the project. Thank you so much!! 💕
this was the best way to do this kind of video pulling from multiple animators, if you’re going to do an entirely new cut for the ithaca saga i would strongly recommend neal illustrator, they’re one of the best animators to make anything epic related in my opinion.
If you make the entirety of this but with the final saga, a few suggestions i wanna add is like, adding the name of each song and maybe credit to the artist when their animatic is shown? But im assuming this was all for fun and not to represent the entire musical as a whole so thats alright because either way this was SUCH A FUN WATCH YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB
With the subtitles, the mixing of animatincs, the colors, the mixing of the music with the old animatics, just STELLAR! Thanks for making this!
Working on adding WAY more artist credits as we speak! I did not think this project would blow up as fast as it did and I wanna make sure I can at least send some of this love from the fandom to the people that worked so hard on all these☺️
Hey do you know who did the get in the water animatic? The one where Poseidon kinda looks remorseful for a little bit?
Do you remember who you got the get in the water animatic from? The one with the cool Poseidon design that acts a little remorseful?
40:23 - “DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!”
Immediately after:
“I’m Jake from State Farm!”
😂😂😂
not a criticism, I love your choices, but when I was choosing an animatic for Thunder Bringer, I specifically chose one where the ending had the rest of the crew except for Eurylochus attack Odysseus. I can't explain why but I preferred it when Eurylochus hung back
THIS IS SO PERFECT I CANNOT WAIT TO SHOW MY FRIENDS THE WHOLE MUSICAL ONCE YOU RELEASE THE ONE WITH THE FINAL SAGA.
You have done the whole fanbase a great service and we all thank you.
If I may suggest tho:
1. In the Poseidon torture scene in 600 strike from "you idiot", let it just be the one in Jorge's livestream for maximum darkness and emphasis on monstrosity
2. Have as many animatics from Jorge's livestream as you can in the Ithaca saga because those have maximum monster and emotions especially in Hold Them Down, Odysseus, and WYFILWMA
3. End with gigi's animatic of WYFILWMA
4. In the 2nd chorus of Dangerous, have the animatic switch to Jorge's livestream version because twerking Hermes lmao
5. In the final chorus of The Underworld, consider switching animatics to ShiQing47's version, with a bit of green sprinkled in
6. As much as Thunder Bringer feels like the Act 1 closer, Act 1's closer is actually Monster
I wholeheartedly believe during the underworld Saga and beyond the voices of the fallen where allowed to be heard by Odysseus is because Hades allows it, mostly out of spite of Poseidon but possibly because Athena asked her cool uncle to keep him motivated.
ok literally this is the best thing ever. THANK YOU for featuring so many artists in this. also your editing skills are phenomenal! i mean using different animatics within the same shot? genius. I need a version with the Ithaca Saga added like asap bro. job well done
Working on it as fast as I can!😁
“ I don’t know who your friend is”Athena “he was just like you” brings a tear to my eye she was referencing his dad🥹
17:24 LMAO, COVERING THE DEAD SHEEP…
I NOTICED THAT TOO 😭😭😭
I love how well you transitioned between each animatic! It’s not choppy, and it always felt like it was at a great time in the song too! Great work, and I’m excited to see how you do with the Ithica Saga!
Okay, the transition to different animatics is honestly cool and smooth, as well as the lyrics/text.
At the WHO HURTS YOU?-part my heart was racing lol
This is amazingly done!! Thank you so much for putting this together.
1:29:28 I love how the reactions are “I want to die” “I want to die again” or “HOLY SHI- AOILIS YOU GOTTA SEE THIS (with 80s synth and bi colours)”
Or “MmmMMm mortal hot”
1:48:50 athena using her power as zeus’ favorite child 😂
Absolutely Perfect! This is EPIC The Movie!
GOOSEBUMPS THE ENTIRE TIME!! I’ve never really been involved with the concept albums outside of seeing clips from animatics but THIS?? I’m hooked and mildly obsessed!! TYSM for putting together the story!!
This is my first time experiencing the Epic Musical and it such a great way to add images to the lyrics, thank you 😊
got to the first song where our choices differ: Ruthlessness. the animatics you chose were great but I loved in the Neal Illustrator one how for the entire song the fleet was just trying to survive because merely being in the presence of an angry god is dangerous, even if he's not angry specifically at you. But the AniFlamma and Gigi animatics are both really good choices
I am a SUCKER for AniFlamma's Poseidon lol. The dark horse vibes creep me out in the best way. Neals is so good tho, I might try to incorporate more of their animations into it
I actually think using Gigi's and Anniflamma's Ruthlessness is a great choice because of their depictions of Poseidon. Neal's art style is incredible and I love her inclusion of the crew, but her Poseidon is way to angry about what happened to Polyphemus when Epic Poseidon doesn't really care for his son. As shown in "Get in the Water, Poseidon in EPIC is more concerned about his reputation and Gigi and Aniflamma's animatics convey that much more in my opinion.
I kinda wish there was a bit of theearteest or another animatic that had the laestrygonians doing the chorus and chucking the rocks.
@@animeentranced1130 I just watched the bit for Ruthlessness and couldn't see that but also theearteest wasn't credited in the description so I don't think they were
@@jacobrasmussen2176 this was pretty much my thought process when putting ruthlessness together, not only that but Gigi and AnniFlammas aesthetics for Poseidons design just mesh together well. Nothing against Neals version. Their Poseidon looks AMAZING, It just didn't seem to fit very well to me with everything else
the way i had to pause around 1:01:13 because Ody singing with his mom made me full on sob
And i have no clue why lmao, usually that part of the song gets me teary eyed for sure but this time I was just full on sobbing all of a sudden
Maybe that's how i know this musical is a masterpiece lol, I've never had a musical make me cry like that before
I'm Not Sorry For Loving You is probably one of the saddest in this whole thing because the only look into what happened to her after is she apparently took her own life because she never got over loving Odysseus.
Goddesses can't die - This can't be canon to EPIC, regardless of where it's from (which I don't think is the original Odyssey)
@qwerty_qwerty The funny thing about Greek mythology is technically nothing is "canon". There are countless different writings of all these characters and many of them contradict each other, and each myth evolved over time. Calypso was first introduced into Greek mythology by Homer when he wrote The Odyssey and her origin wasn't really talked about, and very little was written about her after that. A few authors came out after Homer to expand a bit on her story. What was mostly agreed upon from their writings is that her father was the god Atlas and her mother was the sea nymph Pleione - and nymphs are mortal. That would make Calypso a demigod, which are not immortal and can die. They can live a very long life and can be very powerful, but they can die. There are other sources that suggest both her parents were gods, but that's less agreed upon and wouldn't be considered "canon" for a lack of better words. Most agree that Calypso spent like 50-100 years sitting at the shore hoping for Odysseus to return, and when he didn't the heartbreak drove her to take her own life.
@@qwerty_qwerty P.S. Oh yeah, and I forgot to say that the musical concept EPIC took quite a few artistic liberties when they wrote many of these songs and a lot of the little details strayed away from The Odyssey. And even more artistic liberties were taken in the animations. I don't have any problem with this because that's literally how Greek mythology evolved over time. But I'd just suggest to take EPIC with a grain of salt when you wonder how close it is to the original The Odyssey. I loved it either way and think they did a great job bringing a nearly 3000 year old story into the 21st century.
@samanthadrakos Right, but I'm talking about canon to EPIC specifically. It's very clearly stated in LIP that Calypso is a goddess and she can't die. I think other authors expanding on Calypso's story is interesting, but I just wanted to add a clarification for EPIC.
@qwerty_qwerty I guess I don't understand what you mean. LIP as well as all of the songs in EPIC were written by Jorge Rivera-Herrans. Being that he took a lot of artistic liberties when writing the lyrics, that means there's nothing canon about any of the songs in EPIC. And there have been no other releases or remakes of EPIC to compare versions. So... like... EPIC in its entirety is just canon to itself.
Unless you're trying to say that "goddesses can't die" is not an original lyric in the musical?? Like, the singer just threw it in there for funzies? If that's what you're saying, then yes that lyric is original. The lyrics were written by JRH and the singers were all hired through a company to sing these specific lyrics. So, again, the whole of EPIC is canon to itself.
If that's not what you mean then I'm totally confused.
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your efforts, comrade! 😳❤
The editing, dude, this whole thing is so well done! Thank you so much for sharing 😮😮❤❤
Full speed ahead showed up on my playlist randomly... And my FING GOD I had goosebumps watching this the entire time. Thank you for putting this together. The subtitles really added to it, and the artwork from all the amazing people. And all of the amazing vocals.
I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD WHEN ODYSSEUS STARTED USING CIRCE'S TRICK ON ZEUS DURING INTERMISSION...BRO REALLY USED EVERYTHING HE HAD 😭😭😭
Omg thank you so much! I’ve been trying to find all the animations so I can show my husband Epic because he’s not so great at listening to lyrics. I’ve been having some trouble but you have just made my day!!!
Omg I hadnt listend to epic the musical before id just heard a couple songs and this is quiet possibly the best thing I've found in the last two years it allowed me to sit down and watch it and I loved that there where subtitles that didn't take away from it and I loved seeing all the different animators styles this is awesome
I bet this took a lot of time and effort. This was brilliant and excellent. Good shit, Luke Godfrey.
This is my favorite adaptation
I hated in the original how dedicated he was towards his wife and son just to basically cheat on them with circe and Calypso
This one Sept for that kiss scene
He stayed truthful to them which made the story more impactful
THANK YOU. This is amazing!!!!!! I was wishing this kind of thing existed. The way you chose the best parts of every animatic. The ONE thing I hope you include if you make a complete version with the Ithaca saga is the hand letting the baby go at the end of Gigi’s “Just a Man” animatic. It’s included in their combined “Horse and the Infant/Just a Man” video. It’s such a pivotal moment and it makes it clear that Ody did in fact kill the infant. But seriously be proud, this is the BEST way to experience the musical right now!
Athena: He NEVER cheated on his wife
Hera: RELEASE HIM
45:04 Someting
46:15 A woman! What
THIS IS AMAZING OMG I'M SO GLAD MY DAD SHOWED ME THIS AND THAT I READ THIS IN ELA
I've never been so captured by a series of animations for one of the best sagas to exist
BAHAHHAHAH “Never once has he cheated on his wife”. The face on Hera xD
Yeah honestly Athena wasn’t too smart there in my opinion 😂 Like the moment Hera said “give me one good reason”, the first thing out of Athena mouth should have been “This man has been faithful to his wife for 20 years”. It would have made Hera’s apperance much shorter but like come on Athena, it was so painfully obvious you said that one line and Hera would have agreed instantly 😂
Can we just take a minute and appreciate the creator of this.They drew/animated all of these pictures and it went on for two hours❤
this is from multiple animatics by multiple creators, the only thing this person did is put them together and added subtitles
ADORE how you edited this!!!! transitioning between the best parts of different animatics!! you made the transitions so smooth so that each addition of a different animatic only intensified the feeling of the music!! great job! thanks for making this and crediting everyone :))
Hey, i just wanna say you are a saint!! Thank you for putting this together!!
omd this is brilliant!! trust i’m (im)patiently waiting for ithaca saga to be added🙌
Omg you did SUCH a good job in the animation transitions for Ruthlessness! They all flow so seamlessly together
I watched this in 2x speed just because i have to go to bed and i cant afford a lack of sleep three days in a row. But omg yall, listen to this again just in 2x speed. Keep your friends close made me laugh so hard.
On a different note, well done. I knew most of the artists you chose which i was quite happy about
My next listen through I'll do that XD
I just found this today and I watched it in whole right this instant! It's GODLIKE! I love it so much!! Thank you SO MUCH for building this. It's such an awesome way to tell the Odyssey
Thank you so much! 🙇🏾♂️🙇🏾♂️
Eyyy, you did the work for me of compiling the best animatics. Thank you good sir. I look forward to seeing which ones you picked
I’ve been making a playlist of my own but I can’t pick my favorite animatic of each. Especially as my fam each has their favorites. THANK YOU for combining all my favorites so beautifully!!!
The lotis eaters are so cute ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY SAY"om nom nom" AND "the cave! Scary cave"
I love u so much for doing this, thank you!! 🫶🏼
twillykat has an amazing animatic to "would you fall in love with me again" ! I highly suggest looking into that. Appreciate this video with all animatics and artists!
I was LITERALLY making a video like this today so I could watch Epic with my friend who's partially deaf, and it was so much work, my video editor flunk on me too 😭😭 and now I found this video and you! You're my hero, thank you for putting in all the hard work 💙💙 I can't wait to watch Epic with my friend!
I hope this vid gets the views and likes that it deserves because this amazing effort!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS!! You're so good at picking the best moments from each artist, giving all of them an opportunity to shine! So happy to be part of this fandom, and so excited for the Ithaca Saga update!
I love that Eurylochus is just casually running around with the Buster Sword 😂
Oh my gosh I was waiting for someone to make something like this. I'm so excited to watch this! Can't wait for when you add Ithaca once there are more animations/animatics made!
The entire intermission with the bloopers and the joke animatics (was that the Free! Iwatobi outro dance Zeus was doing?) had me on the floor cackling.
this is actually insanely impressive, the carefully crafted scene from all the animatics, this surely took a ridiculous amount of time
we’ll be fine has me in TEARS.
OMG THANK YOU FOR ADDING THEM ALL TOGETHER IN ORDER 😭 I was going to have to search for them separately and thank you for adding different artists 💝
1:26:36 There is something so funny about Zeus celebrating like that while people are crying and dying
(Bonus) 1:29:38 Knowing the real story of Zeus, you KNOW he might take him on the offer
Oml i love this!! The lyrics are so good!!!! Thank you for this masterpiece!
