When Jamie went "I'd like to be their boyfriend" it implies that he already saw Veronica as someone comparable to the Heathers aaaaaahhhh my heeeeeeaaaarrrt
the fact that nerd boy was in love just the way she was, even before she got beautiful, has my hearttttt. He didnt blush when she was beautiful, but when she was herself
The literal first line of the musical is "I believe I'm a good person"... but she's NOT. Veronica seeks others' acceptance, first from the Heathers and later JD, and is all too willing to be manipulated by them to do evil things. Her secret desire to "set this dump ablaze" is an example of the kind of hidden evil she has inside her that JD can bring out in order to use her. The whole thing is the story of Veronica gaining the courage it takes to stick to her convictions and damn the consequences. Which is what she needs to do in order to become the good person she thought she was in the beginning. It really is thoughtful character development.
Someone said in the comments that maybe the nerd guy is jeremy's dad and his mom is veronica. they had jeremy which in result created the entirety of be more chill AND I CAN NOT GET THIS OUT OF MY HEAD SNKJNSKVSD
The cute nerd guy should be cutie and his friend is HOF, for Heathers Obsessed Friend. Unless they have actual names, then this comment was completely unnecessary.
REALL, She kind of reminds of Sonata from the Dazzlings in MLP eg, she's not actually mean, but feels the need of others approval and that makes her follow the evil thinking that it makes her stronger
I love the small references to JD. It makes it seem like he isn't just some guy, that just so happens to be in his senior year, that appeared out of fuck all, but instead an actual student. Love the animatic, and as an animator myself, I can understand the pain of making an 8 minute animatic. Bravo.
i love the attention to detail!! at 5:58 when McNamara is paying attention to veronica as Duke and Chandler are smirking at each other, and how she only joins in laughing when she noticed them laughing. Foreshadowing at its finest I'm in LOVE
I like how Veronica is always in closed poses - her arms are close to her body, shoulders are higher than in a fully relaxed position, the body language is great in this. Also when she gets a makeover by the Heathers she is still closed, but opens a little and does lots of wide arm moves, but still returns to the closed poses because she's still used to it
The way the nerd boy blushed at Veronica but didn't blush when she became "beautiful" was a nice touch. It just shows how he loved her for her and nothing else (CAN WE GET VERONICA THIS NERD DUDE LIKE... RIGHT NOW?!)
@@saturnssubliminals Well, in some songs she does talk to the "diary" as if she's talking to a person. In "You're Welcome", for example, she sounds like she's really giving advice to the audience. So yeah, you are right that they use the "diary" to speak to the listeners.
i loooove the details! my favourite one is that when veronica explains that Kurt Kelly is "The smartest guy on the football team." (2:52) And when you see the "Why?" part (3:20), you see that Kurt used to be a nerd who probably was bullied, explaining why he's not only the smartest on the team, but ALSO why he got into football in the first place, as a way to avoid getting bullied again. Which again is why he probably bullied Martha. Absolutely amazing! keep it up!!
I saw the musical on the West End, there’s a scene just before Big Fun where Kurt and Ram’s dads leave to go on a fishing trip and leave the house to their boys, and Kurt’s dad calls him a pansy and grabs him in a headlock, and it’s not played for laughs - rather, it’s not hard to see where Kurt got his bullying behaviour from
And I think that Ram (3:27), according to this video, actually has sympathy. Him asking himself, "Why did I hit him?" Shows that he is also one of the kids in Westerburg going through problems. You can also see a red heart through Ram's hand. Also, the scene after that (3:28) shows Ram and Martha getting separated. I think this is a reference to when Ram and Martha were in kindergarten, and Ram kissed Martha, but distanced himself away from that moment ever since.
I SOOOOOOO want this!!!!! Well, like, probably an animated musical, same everything, just animated, that's how I consume Heathers currently anyway, just constantly rewatch animatics in order.
@@earellereckley4085 yeah, I'm worried about that too. And also I'm worried that if they couldn't in a series, the story is to short. However, I would love a animated movie of the musical, if done well, that is
Theory: in freeze your brain JD says “you’ll go to some college and marry a lawyer” so that must mean after JD dies, glasses boi is the lawyer Veronica marries
MAY GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL MAY SATAN ... DO WHATEVER U WANT SATAN TO DO FOR U, LET YOU WIN THE LOTTERY JUST ENOUGH TO PAY YOUR STUDENT LOANS, MAY YOU HAVE AN ADORABLE PET
4:22 I think the reason why Duke doesn't have a solo like other "important" characters and only has one reprise, honors when Veronica says she doesn't have a defined personality.
at 8:14, i think the colors chosen are a nice touch. pink and yellow are usually perceived as soft or happy colors, and red and green are usually used when referring to something evil or poisonous. blue is neutral when it comes to being a “good or evil” color, and that’s why veronica is tinted with blue and the two sides with the other colors. i don’t even know if that was intentional but just something i noticed lmfao.
Red = Scandal, Gossip and famously rage (Heather C was somewhat hot-tempered), Green = Jealousy + Envy (Heather D is jealous of Heather C’s power + popularity as queen bee), and like you said yellow = Happiness, Innocence
I feel like the scene at 8:09 has some symbolism Bottom two are the crushes (either crushing on Veronica or Veronica crushes on) The best friends (Heather C being Veronica’s new “best friend”, and Martha being Veronica’s old best friend) And then Veronica herself. The center of it all
something else that's interesting: on her left are veronica's positive influences, while on her right are her negative influences. this sort of implies that veronica will be listen more to JD and heather c (the bad).
My god, the attention to detail in this is insane. Like, the girl from 3:22 seems like she was sexualy assaulted or something, and then later at 6:51 when both of them are telling the chubby dude off she's shaking and her friend comfort her. I've never seen this kind of depth given to backround characters ever. You gave them a history in the little time they had and it's just...wow.
1:54 OMG FOR A SECOND WHILE SHES SAYING “SET THIS DUMP ABLAZE!” IT SWITCHES TO VERONICA CRYING WITH SCRATCHES ON HER FACE AND PEICES OF WHAT I THINK ARE JD’S TRENCHCOAT? FLYING AROUND IN THE BACKGROUND AHH I LOVE THAT DETAIL [EDIT]: PAUSE IT BEFORE CLICKING
Yeah even in candy store it’s very detailed with every character so maybe the artist’s putting some different storylines here and there? Or foreshadowing
The character designs here were so well done! I can’t imagine how much time and talent went into this! I’d say my favorite parts were 0:26 with the transitions between past and present, and the small detail at 6:00 when Heather McNamara was slower to join in on the laughter, showing that she was just following her friends and wasn’t that bad on her own. Overall, beautiful animatic!
things I love about this: -when they sing "give me a sign god" an image of JD appears for a moment. kinda foreshadowing to the whole "our love is god" thing? -I frickin love Veronica's hair. I dunno why. it's just so...f l o o f -the animation is amazing. I actually can't get over this art style and the smooth animation and the shots and just fdsbhjkbas -Heather M. is just so innocent and cute in this. the smile is just adorable, and in this animatic she reminds me of Ty Lee from ATLA. -Contrary to McNamara, Heather Duke is looks kinda grumpy, and Chandler smiles, but it's very clear that it's not as innocent as McNamara's. It's just an amazing job of portraying their characters. -the little flashbacks to when they were kids!!
6:01 I love the subtle way McNamara looks at Duke and Chandler to laugh. Like she’s afraid to do it without there permission, or like she’s afraid that if she doesn’t do it she’ll be booted.
I love when each Heather comes back into frame, theres a soft gradient of their colors so it goes from Green, to Yellow and Green, to Red and Yellow and Green, and then Blue is added for Veronica, I think its a really nice touch
Ben: "I'd like to kidnap a Heather and photograph her naked in an abandoned warehouse and leave her tied up for the rats" Also ben, one second later: "what did I ever do to them?"
Honestly i imagine veronica staying single again for the rest of her life. It hard to move on after something like that. It leaves trauma. She probably had too- *adopt janis ;)*
Things I noticed in this animatic (a work in progress): 1. The picture of Veronica and her classmates/friends at 0:21 was taken in 1979, 10 years before the musical takes place. 2. Veronica’s memories from around that same time (like the tag game) turn from a happy past to a sad present (getting shoved by the same kid she played tag with 10 years prior) 3. The soft blue-purple light that surrounds Veronica as she sings about beautiful life shares space with kids beating each other up. 4. As we see later, Nerd boy likes Veronica A LOT, but if you look at 1:26, there are some jocks behind Veronica whispering to each other, probably about the exchange taking place. 5. 1:31, the hot girl and the disabled girl are yelling insults at each other, even though they are both treated like scum. Much like the guy in front and the girl in the back (in front of Veronica) 6. 1:54 is a frame from the explosion that killed JD… 7. 2:07 Ram does this in the… slime tutorial, too. 8. Sweet nerd boy, pt. 1 (2:38, someone has a crush on a certain girl!) 9. 3:19-3:40 The blacked out forms of the characters tell their stories, along with their lyrics. Here’s my analysis: Nerd boy: Picked on by his peers for being nerdy Quiet girl: Victim of abuse Kurt: Was probably a nerd, like nerd boy, but joined football to escape the taunting And we know Martha and Ram’s story. 10. 3:35 “send me a sign god” “GOD” Our love is god. The sign is JD. That’s not a good thing. 11. Whenever the Heathers enter, the lighting matches the color they wear in the musical. Veronica’s blue is added at the end of the song. 12. 4:30 is how everyone sees Heather. 4:34 is how Veronica sees her. 13. 4:45-5:05 The “nerds” talking about what they want with the Heathers, such as getting noticed by guys while they hang out with them, being like them, for them to be nicer, and what that other kid wanted… 14. Chandler and Duke laugh at 6:01. McNamara laughs at 6:02. 15. 6:27. God, help this poor unfortunate soul. 16. 6:54. Quiet girl from earlier looks a lot more upset at being touched the the other nerd boy. 6:55, it looks like she’s being comforted by her friend. History of being abused confirmed? 17. One of the strugglers at 7:00 is revealed to be Ms. Fleming. Go listen to shine a light and you’ll know what I mean. 18. Quiet girl and Goth girl look shocked to see Veronica after holding up those trays for just the Heathers since freshman year probably, maybe even longer. 19. Nerd boy pt.2. I don’t think he likes who Veronica has be come… And last but not least… yes it is cuz I didn’t try hard for this one… 20. The main five people in this animatic. Except for JD. But he’s the antagonist/love interest. So he’s still, there. Thanks for reading my rant, if you got this far. Most of these details I picked up from other comments, but I noticed some others, too.
Okay, this is my new favorite animatic. I love how you added characters like the cute nerd that has a crush on Veronica but one of my favorite things about this, is how he didn't blush when she became "beautiful" because it shows how he loved her for who she truly was and not for her looks! Unlike the heathers obsessed kid. Btw your art style is amazing! So cartoony and cute!
At 3:29 I love how Ram and Martha are being pulled away from each other, Kind of like Ram does like her but doesn’t want to get made fun of for it, that or I’m just looking too much into it but I just love that detail!
the saddest thing is the fact that the "why do they hate me?" guy with the glasses loves veronica for what she really is, and they still couldn't manage to get together because of how much veronica's ego gets boosted when she becomes "beautiful". she kinda lost sight of what was really important and wouldn't have dated that guy at all … his appereance makes me think about freeze your brain, one of jd's lines, "you're planning your future, veronica sawyer. you'll go to some college and marry a lawyer" which is a perfectly sane image of her future, except she would've chosen jd anyway because "the sky's gonna hurt when it falls" and if she chose thay guy she would've felt like she didn't get what she really deserved …
woah, i've seen a lot of "Beautiful" animatics but I really love the refreshing take that this one goes for. Veronica's on-screen emphasis towards returning to childhood via romanticized flashbacks of what it means to be a kid, the way the characters are introduced, the side plot of hypothetical "Mister Lawyer" that crushes Veronica and gives her hope that kindness can still exist, the ball and chain of Ram and Martha as they're dragged away by society from each other's sides, the appearance of JD oh-so-mysteriously in the background, the varying expressions on everyone's face, the way background characters move throughout Veronica's song to reflect the chaos of Veronica's high school, the consistent use of background characters such as the lover boi nerd and the lover boi's best friend nerd as well as Martha ofc... I could go on and on about all the little details I mentioned but I can sum it all up with: WOW this is AMAZING. I can tell you've put a lot of thought into this animatic and the way you've communicated the song with your own artwork is not only a refreshing take on Heather Beautiful animatics but it's also really charming and has it's own sense of individualistic appeal. Certainly hope you do more of the Heathers songs for animatics! I would really love to see the lover boy subplot carried out and how you would handle JD as well as the more darker songs of this musical. Definitely earned a subscriber regardless :Dc
Technically she didn't kill four people. JD killed them for her. She mixed up the cups by accident and JD didn't want to tell her. JD killed Kurt and Ram. JD killed himself so, I guess she did kill Chandler but by accident
The second Martha says “I’m a sucker for a happy ending” you know it’s going to be one of those musicals where everyone dies. Edit: Holy heck this comment got a lot of likes.
The level of detail in this is incredible! As well as the beautiful frickin’ art and the details throughout like the fluidity of everyone’s facial expressions and body language as they react to everyone else, some things I especially love are: -The intro cards, framed as candid closeup snapshots. Specifically how Heather Chandler’s card changes with even the font becoming a big, angry scrawl at “She is a MYTHIC BITCH”, and Veronica only getting her own intro when she joins the Heathers and thinks she’s consequential. Like only now does she believe herself to be an active character in the story (even qualified to be the protagonist), rather than a passive observer. -The flashback parallels. A “Tag, you’re it!” push as kids is replaced by a push of pure cruelty as teens. Girls who help and comfort Veronica as kids insult her as teens. -The derogatory terms applied to the kids consuming their identities in the photo, seen later in the “Why?” bridge section. -Oh yeah! The entire “Why?” bride section. MY GOD IT’S BEAUTIFUL! And so, so sad, PLEASE GET THESE CHILDREN FRIENDSHIP AND THERAPY!!! -I know this falls under the last point, but Ram and Martha being chained and pulled apart by social expectations, both heartbroken in their own way. Also “Why don’t I fight back?” and “Somebody fix me” killed me. -All the moments where we see the bullies are hurting too. Not just Kurt and Ram, but everyone who hurts someone else. In particular the disabled girl (who has to deal with ableist discrimination and degradation on top of sexism) and the ‘hot’ girl (who has to deal with sexism and constant objectification and degradation because of gender and sexual biases) insulting each other in turn, showing perfectly how people who should be supporting, defending and leaning on each other are instead divided by the community’s toxic attitudes and their insecurities. -First chorus: Veronica appears to be unique and isolated in her idealism, demonstrated by her seemingly unappreciated gesture of kindness, and so sings alone. Second chorus: the other students all sing along with her and the nerd boy returns her kindness, presumably emboldened to do it by her. She’s not alone. None of these aching, desperate, miserable kids have to be alone. Final chorus: Veronica loses her diary and the need boy picks it up again, like the last chorus, but this time the chain of kindness is severed, since she’s too swept up in the thrill of her newfound popularity to notice or care. Such good character and arc establishment in just this sequence of events. -The foreshadowing flashes of JD. First at the line “Send me a sign, God”; fitting because he’s currently adrift in despair and finding no meaning in anything. He’ll later declare his love for Veronica “God” and use it to justify murder. Not… not the right sign there, JD. Then he’s seen when Veronica becomes socially significant, which leads to them meeting.
3:34 i love this part. JD showing up on “Send me a sign god” both references Our Love is God, and also shows how someone is arriving that will change everything.
Even if this Musical isn't exactly kid friendly, I still think they deserve an award for a very beautiful musical that connects to how some kids feel about school or even about themselves. Also their songs are catchy! Love Veronica by the way!
At 8:09 I love how you drew JD. I'm sorry, but I LOVE when animators and little background images of JD before he actually shows up. Also, I love your art style.
I love how at 8:14 you made Jamie and JD perfect opposites: Jamie has curly hair/Jason has straight hair. Jamie’s eyes curve upwards while Jason’s curve down, same with their noses, eyebrows, and mouths. Jamie as glasses and freckles while JD does not, Jason’s collar goes up while Jamie’s lays flat, even their clothing is respectively light and dark. I adore the detail put into every frame of this animatic, and I adore Jamie so much. This is fabulous!
Would you say it’s..... BEAUTIFUL? (I’ll leave now) In all seriousness though, good eye. And then Heather C. and Martha. Martha’s eyes are looking up, her face is filled with nervousness and she has a shy, awkward stance. However, Heather C. has a confident, powerful stance, her eyes are looking downward, and she has an approving, leader-like air to her.
8:14 I love the separation between what will be her life in the future and what it was/would be before the heathers with JD and heather c. on one side of her and martha and nerd guy on the other
Ok but can we talk about how expressive the faces are, like I just love the way the characters look and the facial expressions are so clear and everything
Spoiler warning: How have I never noticed all the foreshadowing in this? "Playing tag and getting CHASED" "That was the TRIGGER" "Collage will be paradise if I'm not DEAD BY JUNE" "Then I can BLOW this town" "SMOKY French cafes" "Fight the urge to STRIKE A MATCH AND SET THIS DUMP ABALZE" I mean seriously though jeez...
I'm coming back to this 4 years later. I have to say this: This. This video is what got me into my theatre obsession. (Yes, watching the Les Mis musical movie as a kid and having a brother in the school one act program helped but...) This sent me into a rabbit hole of Heathers, then Hamilton, then Dear Evan Hansen then more! I stumbled upon this, thinking it was an animation for a show I watched. That one choice helped to develop my love for theatre. I was in my school's one act all four years of high school. I loved and I now miss the acting now that I've graduated (my college doesn't have theatre). I just want to say thank you for making this video! It's fantastic. Thank you! ~ Lauren
Ugusaki Bento I like to think they do this every time they enter the cafeteria, with them thinking they could win favor in the apparent oligarchy of this schools power structure.
I like how Martha and Ram was beside eachother when they said "Why won't he date me?" "why did I hit him?” it was like they really liked eachother but ram just didn't show, he was literally reaching out for her
Zee Cee better than usual art and it’s more in depth to me, like when they introduce the characters it’s a really good picture. And including the nerd and the heathers obsessed fan😂 I keep coming back to this animatic
@@courtneywilliams634 Not too mention all of the lil background details, unique character designs, so you can tell who I who, and overall a different style of art and animation. So, with all of those little things, it's amazing

Also when she gets a makeover by the Heathers she is still closed, but opens a little and does lots of wide arm moves, but still returns to the closed poses because she's still used to it

i loooove the details!
my favourite one is that when veronica explains that Kurt Kelly is "The smartest guy on the football team." (2:52)
And when you see the "Why?" part (3:20), you see that Kurt used to be a nerd who probably was bullied, explaining why he's not only the smartest on the team, but ALSO why he got into football in the first place, as a way to avoid getting bullied again. Which again is why he probably bullied Martha.
Absolutely amazing! keep it up!!
I saw the musical on the West End, there’s a scene just before Big Fun where Kurt and Ram’s dads leave to go on a fishing trip and leave the house to their boys, and Kurt’s dad calls him a pansy and grabs him in a headlock, and it’s not played for laughs - rather, it’s not hard to see where Kurt got his bullying behaviour from
@@Justice237yep that’s not only in west end btw
And I think that Ram (3:27), according to this video, actually has sympathy. Him asking himself, "Why did I hit him?" Shows that he is also one of the kids in Westerburg going through problems. You can also see a red heart through Ram's hand. Also, the scene after that (3:28) shows Ram and Martha getting separated. I think this is a reference to when Ram and Martha were in kindergarten, and Ram kissed Martha, but distanced himself away from that moment ever since.
*WHEN* THEY MAKE HEATHERS AN ANIMATED SERIES IT BETTER BE LIKE THIS
I SOOOOOOO want this!!!!! Well, like, probably an animated musical, same everything, just animated, that's how I consume Heathers currently anyway, just constantly rewatch animatics in order.
Hopefully they never try to pick it up as an animated series I can see them doing it no justice
There’s basically animatics fir the entire musical by this point so they could just stitch these together
@@earellereckley4085 yeah, I'm worried about that too. And also I'm worried that if they couldn't in a series, the story is to short. However, I would love a animated movie of the musical, if done well, that is

I was going to like this comment but theres 666 likes and I cant ruin that
4:22 I think the reason why Duke doesn't have a solo like other "important" characters and only has one reprise, honors when Veronica says she doesn't have a defined personality.
at 8:14, i think the colors chosen are a nice touch. pink and yellow are usually perceived as soft or happy colors, and red and green are usually used when referring to something evil or poisonous. blue is neutral when it comes to being a “good or evil” color, and that’s why veronica is tinted with blue and the two sides with the other colors. i don’t even know if that was intentional but just something i noticed lmfao.
Blue is usually associated with good and in opposition to red
Red = Scandal, Gossip and famously rage (Heather C was somewhat hot-tempered), Green = Jealousy + Envy (Heather D is jealous of Heather C’s power + popularity as queen bee), and like you said yellow = Happiness, Innocence

I feel like the scene at 8:09 has some symbolism
Bottom two are the crushes (either crushing on Veronica or Veronica crushes on)
The best friends (Heather C being Veronica’s new “best friend”, and Martha being Veronica’s old best friend)
And then Veronica herself. The center of it all
wow, I didnt notice that
something else that's interesting: on her left are veronica's positive influences, while on her right are her negative influences. this sort of implies that veronica will be listen more to JD and heather c (the bad).
My god, the attention to detail in this is insane. Like, the girl from 3:22 seems like she was sexualy assaulted or something, and then later at 6:51 when both of them are telling the chubby dude off she's shaking and her friend comfort her. I've never seen this kind of depth given to backround characters ever. You gave them a history in the little time they had and it's just...wow.
Lucina M.G is my idea or in the 6:51 she is actually crying?
I thought I was the only one who noticed!
your such a nice and caring person and you really pay attention to the details
I don't mean to be annoying but the second time stamp is 6:54 not 6:51

which one are we talking about?- /g
same i think we all are
There's a whole story waiting to be told. I want that story.
1:54 OMG FOR A SECOND WHILE SHES SAYING “SET THIS DUMP ABLAZE!” IT SWITCHES TO VERONICA CRYING WITH SCRATCHES ON HER FACE AND PEICES OF WHAT I THINK ARE JD’S TRENCHCOAT? FLYING AROUND IN THE BACKGROUND AHH I LOVE THAT DETAIL
[EDIT]: PAUSE IT BEFORE CLICKING
Yeah even in candy store it’s very detailed with every character so maybe the artist’s putting some different storylines here and there? Or foreshadowing
I know! Amazing detail I didn’t even notice, the artist knows what they’re doing! Also, I think the pieces fly around her are piece of ash
The character designs here were so well done! I can’t imagine how much time and talent went into this! I’d say my favorite parts were 0:26 with the transitions between past and present, and the small detail at 6:00 when Heather McNamara was slower to join in on the laughter, showing that she was just following her friends and wasn’t that bad on her own. Overall, beautiful animatic!
things I love about this:
-when they sing "give me a sign god" an image of JD appears for a moment. kinda foreshadowing to the whole "our love is god" thing?
-I frickin love Veronica's hair. I dunno why. it's just so...f l o o f
-the animation is amazing. I actually can't get over this art style and the smooth animation and the shots and just fdsbhjkbas
-Heather M. is just so innocent and cute in this. the smile is just adorable, and in this animatic she reminds me of Ty Lee from ATLA.
-Contrary to McNamara, Heather Duke is looks kinda grumpy, and Chandler smiles, but it's very clear that it's not as innocent as McNamara's. It's just an amazing job of portraying their characters.
-the little flashbacks to when they were kids!!
EXACLTY !! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS COMMMENT IT HAS EVERYTHING I FEEL WATCHING THIS
Yeah, Heather McNamera is a baby and I love her!
OMG EXACTLY Heather Chandler is azula, Heather Duke is Mai and Heather McNamara is ty Lee ah this is perfect!
Bella Williams
I think it’s an avatar reference?
It's so floofy! Floof!
6:01 I love the subtle way McNamara looks at Duke and Chandler to laugh. Like she’s afraid to do it without there permission, or like she’s afraid that if she doesn’t do it she’ll be booted.
Fr, that's sad 😔
or she thinks its unfunny and or mean but laughs knowing what the other heathers can/will do over a little thing
Yeh
@@ant_ler3837 We all know that she is nice person most of the time.
I love when each Heather comes back into frame, theres a soft gradient of their colors
so it goes from Green, to Yellow and Green, to Red and Yellow and Green, and then Blue is added for Veronica, I think its a really nice touch
That makes sense due to Heather C. having red on her outfit, Heather D. with green, Heather B. with yellow, and Veronica with blue
@@perseverance8606 if the comment wasnt clear enough
@@xd-px5nei think they are talking about the gradient cover tone at 7:22 after that its on and off

Right now I am imagining the Nerd's heart being crushed when Veronica starts dating JD
Yea how i feel and still feel because my crush is dating one of my friends

@@FirstNameLastName-wx4xx duuude, I've been obsessed with this theory for like a month, you made my day
The angsttttt
Everyone: OMG THE NERD GUY!!!
Me: Yo, she actually put the people with the lunch trays going down as the Heathers come in
Things I noticed in this animatic (a work in progress):
1. The picture of Veronica and her classmates/friends at 0:21 was taken in 1979, 10 years before the musical takes place.
2. Veronica’s memories from around that same time (like the tag game) turn from a happy past to a sad present (getting shoved by the same kid she played tag with 10 years prior)
3. The soft blue-purple light that surrounds Veronica as she sings about beautiful life shares space with kids beating each other up.
4. As we see later, Nerd boy likes Veronica A LOT, but if you look at 1:26, there are some jocks behind Veronica whispering to each other, probably about the exchange taking place.
5. 1:31, the hot girl and the disabled girl are yelling insults at each other, even though they are both treated like scum. Much like the guy in front and the girl in the back (in front of Veronica)
6. 1:54 is a frame from the explosion that killed JD…
7. 2:07 Ram does this in the… slime tutorial, too.
8. Sweet nerd boy, pt. 1 (2:38, someone has a crush on a certain girl!)
9. 3:19-3:40 The blacked out forms of the characters tell their stories, along with their lyrics. Here’s my analysis:
Nerd boy: Picked on by his peers for being nerdy
Quiet girl: Victim of abuse
Kurt: Was probably a nerd, like nerd boy, but joined football to escape the taunting
And we know Martha and Ram’s story.
10. 3:35 “send me a sign god” “GOD”
Our love is god. The sign is JD. That’s not a good thing.
11. Whenever the Heathers enter, the lighting matches the color they wear in the musical. Veronica’s blue is added at the end of the song.
12. 4:30 is how everyone sees Heather. 4:34 is how Veronica sees her.
13. 4:45-5:05
The “nerds” talking about what they want with the Heathers, such as getting noticed by guys while they hang out with them, being like them, for them to be nicer, and what that other kid wanted…
14. Chandler and Duke laugh at 6:01. McNamara laughs at 6:02.
15. 6:27. God, help this poor unfortunate soul.
16. 6:54. Quiet girl from earlier looks a lot more upset at being touched the the other nerd boy. 6:55, it looks like she’s being comforted by her friend. History of being abused confirmed?
17. One of the strugglers at 7:00 is revealed to be Ms. Fleming. Go listen to shine a light and you’ll know what I mean.
18. Quiet girl and Goth girl look shocked to see Veronica after holding up those trays for just the Heathers since freshman year probably, maybe even longer.
19. Nerd boy pt.2. I don’t think he likes who Veronica has be come…
And last but not least… yes it is cuz I didn’t try hard for this one…
20. The main five people in this animatic. Except for JD. But he’s the antagonist/love interest. So he’s still, there.
Thanks for reading my rant, if you got this far. Most of these details I picked up from other comments, but I noticed some others, too.
Wow. This is amazing. I never noticed half the stuff. The frame that flashes to Veronica after the explosion gave me chills.

Well, in a certain way Poor Unfortunate Souls and Candy Store do have a similar theme
Okay, this is my new favorite animatic. I love how you added characters like the cute nerd that has a crush on Veronica but one of my favorite things about this, is how he didn't blush when she became "beautiful" because it shows how he loved her for who she truly was and not for her looks! Unlike the heathers obsessed kid. Btw your art style is amazing! So cartoony and cute!
I know right?!
Yeah I'd date that guy he's so cute, wait Im a guy
👌👌👌
The guy that you talking about was like:
*See Veronica * "beatiful"

Daily reminder that this musical happened because Veronica had nice handwriting
So class, what did we learn today?
That you should have good handwriting, but not good enough to fool a teacher or a cop.
more like, because she didn't have a motorbike
I- just no
me not having a good hand writing..
No it was caused by her wishing death on some people who she was friends with…
At 3:29 I love how Ram and Martha are being pulled away from each other,
Kind of like Ram does like her but doesn’t want to get made fun of for it, that or I’m just looking too much into it but I just love that detail!
i love the personality you added to everyone, even the side characters!

the saddest thing is the fact that the "why do they hate me?" guy with the glasses loves veronica for what she really is, and they still couldn't manage to get together because of how much veronica's ego gets boosted when she becomes "beautiful". she kinda lost sight of what was really important and wouldn't have dated that guy at all … his appereance makes me think about freeze your brain, one of jd's lines, "you're planning your future, veronica sawyer. you'll go to some college and marry a lawyer" which is a perfectly sane image of her future, except she would've chosen jd anyway because "the sky's gonna hurt when it falls" and if she chose thay guy she would've felt like she didn't get what she really deserved …

JD: I could help with that
woah, i've seen a lot of "Beautiful" animatics but I really love the refreshing take that this one goes for. Veronica's on-screen emphasis towards returning to childhood via romanticized flashbacks of what it means to be a kid, the way the characters are introduced, the side plot of hypothetical "Mister Lawyer" that crushes Veronica and gives her hope that kindness can still exist, the ball and chain of Ram and Martha as they're dragged away by society from each other's sides, the appearance of JD oh-so-mysteriously in the background, the varying expressions on everyone's face, the way background characters move throughout Veronica's song to reflect the chaos of Veronica's high school, the consistent use of background characters such as the lover boi nerd and the lover boi's best friend nerd as well as Martha ofc...
I could go on and on about all the little details I mentioned but I can sum it all up with: WOW this is AMAZING. I can tell you've put a lot of thought into this animatic and the way you've communicated the song with your own artwork is not only a refreshing take on Heather Beautiful animatics but it's also really charming and has it's own sense of individualistic appeal. Certainly hope you do more of the Heathers songs for animatics! I would really love to see the lover boy subplot carried out and how you would handle JD as well as the more darker songs of this musical. Definitely earned a subscriber regardless :Dc

Technically she didn't kill four people. JD killed them for her. She mixed up the cups by accident and JD didn't want to tell her. JD killed Kurt and Ram. JD killed himself so, I guess she did kill Chandler but by accident

Haha yeah!
The level of detail in this is incredible! As well as the beautiful frickin’ art and the details throughout like the fluidity of everyone’s facial expressions and body language as they react to everyone else, some things I especially love are:
-The intro cards, framed as candid closeup snapshots. Specifically how Heather Chandler’s card changes with even the font becoming a big, angry scrawl at “She is a MYTHIC BITCH”, and Veronica only getting her own intro when she joins the Heathers and thinks she’s consequential. Like only now does she believe herself to be an active character in the story (even qualified to be the protagonist), rather than a passive observer.
-The flashback parallels. A “Tag, you’re it!” push as kids is replaced by a push of pure cruelty as teens. Girls who help and comfort Veronica as kids insult her as teens.
-The derogatory terms applied to the kids consuming their identities in the photo, seen later in the “Why?” bridge section.
-Oh yeah! The entire “Why?” bride section. MY GOD IT’S BEAUTIFUL! And so, so sad, PLEASE GET THESE CHILDREN FRIENDSHIP AND THERAPY!!!
-I know this falls under the last point, but Ram and Martha being chained and pulled apart by social expectations, both heartbroken in their own way. Also “Why don’t I fight back?” and “Somebody fix me” killed me.
-All the moments where we see the bullies are hurting too. Not just Kurt and Ram, but everyone who hurts someone else. In particular the disabled girl (who has to deal with ableist discrimination and degradation on top of sexism) and the ‘hot’ girl (who has to deal with sexism and constant objectification and degradation because of gender and sexual biases) insulting each other in turn, showing perfectly how people who should be supporting, defending and leaning on each other are instead divided by the community’s toxic attitudes and their insecurities.
-First chorus: Veronica appears to be unique and isolated in her idealism, demonstrated by her seemingly unappreciated gesture of kindness, and so sings alone. Second chorus: the other students all sing along with her and the nerd boy returns her kindness, presumably emboldened to do it by her. She’s not alone. None of these aching, desperate, miserable kids have to be alone. Final chorus: Veronica loses her diary and the need boy picks it up again, like the last chorus, but this time the chain of kindness is severed, since she’s too swept up in the thrill of her newfound popularity to notice or care. Such good character and arc establishment in just this sequence of events.
-The foreshadowing flashes of JD. First at the line “Send me a sign, God”; fitting because he’s currently adrift in despair and finding no meaning in anything. He’ll later declare his love for Veronica “God” and use it to justify murder. Not… not the right sign there, JD. Then he’s seen when Veronica becomes socially significant, which leads to them meeting.
JD x Veronica: “Meh...give me something better”
Veronica x random nerd: “that’s the one”
Yessss
Hell yeah
100%
3:34 i love this part.
JD showing up on “Send me a sign god” both references Our Love is God, and also shows how someone is arriving that will change everything.

Dont see it 😢
Lets be honest,JD was a sign from God.
Even if this Musical isn't exactly kid friendly, I still think they deserve an award for a very beautiful musical that connects to how some kids feel about school or even about themselves. Also their songs are catchy! Love Veronica by the way!

I love how at 8:14 you made Jamie and JD perfect opposites: Jamie has curly hair/Jason has straight hair. Jamie’s eyes curve upwards while Jason’s curve down, same with their noses, eyebrows, and mouths. Jamie as glasses and freckles while JD does not, Jason’s collar goes up while Jamie’s lays flat, even their clothing is respectively light and dark. I adore the detail put into every frame of this animatic, and I adore Jamie so much. This is fabulous!
Would you say it’s..... BEAUTIFUL?

In all seriousness though, good eye. And then Heather C. and Martha. Martha’s eyes are looking up, her face is filled with nervousness and she has a shy, awkward stance.

I'm coming back to this 4 years later. I have to say this:
This. This video is what got me into my theatre obsession. (Yes, watching the Les Mis musical movie as a kid and having a brother in the school one act program helped but...) This sent me into a rabbit hole of Heathers, then Hamilton, then Dear Evan Hansen then more! I stumbled upon this, thinking it was an animation for a show I watched. That one choice helped to develop my love for theatre. I was in my school's one act all four years of high school. I loved and I now miss the acting now that I've graduated (my college doesn't have theatre).
I just want to say thank you for making this video! It's fantastic.
Thank you!

i love mcnamara being concerned and trying to help duke in the background at 5:31
GOOOD I LOVE HER
And how do heather pay her? Bullying her
3:58
“We were paid to do this.”
Haha
Ugusaki Bento I like to think they do this every time they enter the cafeteria, with them thinking they could win favor in the apparent oligarchy of this schools power structure.
Lmao
I like how Martha and Ram was beside eachother when they said
"Why won't he date me?"
"why did I hit him?”
it was like they really liked eachother but ram just didn't show, he was literally reaching out for her
Why does this “Beautiful” animatic hit different tho
Zee Cee better than usual art and it’s more in depth to me, like when they introduce the characters it’s a really good picture. And including the nerd and the heathers obsessed fan😂 I keep coming back to this animatic
@@courtneywilliams634 Not too mention all of the lil background details, unique character designs, so you can tell who I who, and overall a different style of art and animation. So, with all of those little things, it's amazing
Plus its almost completely based the set up and character design from the off broadway version. It's perfection
Even the lunch tray tunnel of worship
“Fight the urge to strike a match and set this dump ablaze!”
J.D: *that can be arranged*
JEEZ SO TRUE 😂😂 oh! Luka from mlb, respect!
YIKES. Although he did come through

PPPFFTTT EXPLAIN WHY THAT MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD AT 11:38 AT NIGHT😭
Luka😍
Sometimes when I watch animatics there isn’t any movement in them and I get bored, but I never get that watching yours. There is so much movement, shading, and detail into every single frame it’s outstanding
Ikr. It's all so expressive It's really nice to watch
Szin: Am I a joke to you?
😂
Leika Niccole Olalo TRUE XD
Ikr these make my day :)
This is actually such a great representation of high school like not as exaggerated but honestly
I’m not gonna lie. I seen a lot of heathers animatics and tbh… this is probably one of the better ones if not the best one I’ve seen
Where are the replies?
Oh crap I didn’t even notice until now that this got this many likes lol.
For real. It adds so much more to the story with some of it's vsiuals.
