The Room Where It Happens | Hamilton Animatic
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лют 2025
- I worked on this animatic on and off for 3 years so forgive the art inconsistencies... In honor of the release of the Hamilton film tomorrow (and FINALLY being in the room where it happens), I scraped up enough motivation to finally finish this thing. God.
Song: The Room Where It Happens
By: Lin-Manuel Miranda
Tools: FireAlpaca 2 & iMovie
Twitter: / huanghying
Burr is like the little cousin that gets left out of everything
Lmao ikr😂
Me when my brothers go to the store with my mom but they don't take me
It’s his own fault
He also relates to the little cousin in the aspect that he kills the person responsible.
me and cousins hold "council meetings" in our oldest cousin's bedroom, we always leave this one cousin out because reasons.
burr is that one cousin.
the part when all the doors turned into cards give me *c h i l l s*
SAME NGL
Ikr it was Soo cool
Me too
Time stamp?
@@sirfartbottom4214 Thanks :)
This song basically tells us that Lin really couldn't find out what happened, as an apology, we got this banger-
Pretty much dude 💀✌🏽
Fr this song SLAPS!!
It's a truth.
Leaving the truth omitted,
Burr stands in for Miranda, trying to look in.
best song in my opinion
It's a bit deeper than what Lin could find out.
Lesson of this song: don’t play chess or eat sausage
this is tragically underrated
me, a chess player: -_-
Wel, dang it.;-;
Me doing both: 👁👄👁
@@_v0m1tk1d_5 Philip don't do that.
I really like how burr is never colored with the lighter shade to show how he's, IN THE DARK lol
5:07
What a racist joke😂😂😂😂😂😂(i know it's not)
2:19
0:03
Also I like how Burr is the only one immune to the rule here were if your purple you are just a still image again saying how burr is in the dark
The line
“We want our leaders to save the day but we don’t get a say in what they trade away” sticks with me for some reason
I know, like all the bills they passed recently, we never get to decide OUR country’s fate, and only the 200 something people get to. What’s the point of freedom if we can’t help our country be better?
Huh, I always heard that line as "You want to lead us to safer days, but you don't have a voice in what they trade away" It sound weird to me, so glad to find I just wasn't heating it correctly.
@@Thepeanutcollectorthen again, getting however many people were in the Americas alone to agree on something would be damn near impossible. It is a Catch 22. We need leaders, but we don’t get a say in what they decide. If we want to decide for ourselves, we need to all be able to agree on things.
@@Thepeanutcollectorsadly true democracy’s don’t work in a very large scale
the next line, we dream of a brand new start but we dream in the dark for the most part, is just as amazing
Get ready for more people to get into Hamilton. The fandom is revived.
ive never heard about it until a couple days ago. wow! i really love it, and this is one of my fave songs.
chipsndips Aww, I’m super happy for you! I fell fast and hard when I first got into it, just be careful for miku binders, it was an odd time in our lives
It lives on
@Ryujin’s Wife nO
as long as we all agree to forget 2016-2017 we're fine
One thing I love about this song is it's basically a huge disclaimer saying, "Yeah, we don't really know what happened..."
It also shows burrs realization that he cant wait anymore if he wants to be in the room where it happens.
That actually gave me chills when I first thought about it. Like in real life we actually have no trace or clue what these three men discussed.
Yea but in a really cool way 😂
That's my exact thoughts XD
Jaming Rhythm well we do but it’s just Thomas Jefferson’s account and he... isn’t a trustworthy narrator. The only part of his account that I feel isn’t biased is how he stated it was the worst decision of his political career.
Burr not realizing he is a side character
Nah he's a main character frfr
He realised indeed.
nah he's the villain
@@notacottoncandywell in alex’ story
Christ, the doors becoming stairs was such a genius move.
When was that? I thought they turned into cards...?
Oh nevermind lol found it 🤣
I've watched this a million times. The fact that when burr confronts hamilton he seems yellow but when burr follows him into the room its purple, only lit by a candle. The fact that Hamilton BLOCKS the light from hitting burr in the room. The fact that the doors turn into CARDS as you hear "no one knows how the game is played". The cards having their faves on them. The painting of them shaking their hands but looking pained and fake. Burr watching from outside of the room and jefferson walking in front of his silhouette. THIS IS THE BEST HAMILTON ANIMA TI C BY FARRRR
don’t forget the click boom scene, it’s very creative
My favorite scene was the part where the doors turn into stairs, we see papers, and a paper says “Burr is now a senator”
Don’t forget how at 4:15 his eyes are reflecting the light in the room ahead of him and when it closes his eyes go back to normal
Agreed
That’s what’s sad about Hamilton, so many people think he’s the big hero and burr’s the monster when, in reality, if you look back in deeper you realize that some of the things Hamilton did were totally crazy. In the end it kinda seems like Hamilton is the monster.
"We just assumed that it happened. But no one else was in the room where it happened." That can go for both ways. In history we learn about those men's stories. About their decisions and the outcome. But we don't really learn what pushed them into those decisions or anything TOO personal about them. Maybe things could be wrong for all we know. Not only for Hamilton. In older history too.
A game of rock paper scissors was how they compromised 🤣
i love your pfp
Love the way you present and communicate this comment.
@@count-countess8464 😌👏🏻
@@count-countess8464 okay but I love that idea 😂😂
This has such a creepy vibe to it. Like, the "click boom" gunshot sound effect, the parts with Hamilton in them, the way that Aaron Burr sounds more and more desperate as the song goes on, etc. There's just a certain insanity to this song
I know, right? Haunting and eerie.
But it works so well in conveying Burrs emotions! I love it!
Cause hes fuckin impatient
This song just sends chills down my spine. The ending especially. love it.
I love how the ‘click booms’ are foreshadowing him shooting Hamilton (it is him that shoots him, right?)
"Two Virginians and immigrant walk into the room"
Sounds like a start for a good joke😊
But its actually a start to a big bop
@Jenna's Antennas No.
The US is just the punchline
It's not racist...
BUT
In the workshop version it was originally “two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a bar” so it was originally gonna be like a bar joke
Reasons why you should like hamillton songs
1.they have good rhymes
2. Very addictive in a good way
3. HAMILTON WROTE THE OTHER 51
4. After the war he went back to new york
5. He practiced the law, practically perfected it
Hamilton:THATS TRUE
I didn’t know you could reply to your own reply this is rlly weird and thanks for 2 likes
@@thejudgingleaf 6. He saw injustice in the world and he corrected it
I adore the ending!! I'm so used to see animatics of this song ending with the door closing in Burr´s face, and dont get me wrong, I do like that. But it's the first time I see Burr actually starting his political career as a way the be in the room where it happens, and I find it so refreshing. Love it!
It’s a perfect lead in to Schuyler Defeated
and the way the "click boom" kinda sounds like a camera make it fit so well!
You are so right
🏢
It’s very cool.
even though the hamilton hype died down, I'm still so glad that you posted this one! the art and pacing is amazing, keep it up!
im sad the hamilton hype is down cus i wanted to start making animatics but oh well
@@villarozie it's never too late! I'd be down to watch it
Nah it’s gonna go up because of Disney plus
hype never dies
My cousins are ADICTED to Hamilton and when it did die down in our family, it came on disney + and it started again... YAS!
The way Hamilton referenced Burr's main philosophy, to wait, and dissed how ineffective it was made my heart explode. Not only that but when Burr said, "you got more than you gave," and Hamilton responded, "and I wanted what I got." When Hamilton does things like this, it sends a chill down my spine.
but it's true. you can't get politically popular if you stand by and watch it happen, without spreading your beliefs. as hamilton said, you can't win unless you are playing the game. and, after hamilton pushed burr to stop waiting for it, further after this burr took hamilton's father in law's senator spot and nearly became president, becoming vice president instead
I agree. I saw people saying that, for them, it was at that song that Burr started to look more like a villain, but I disagree completely. Hamilton looks way more like the villain and Burr looks more like the good guy that wants to do something but doesn't know how. The song is basically about how Burr thinks that Hamilton used of inmoral means to get what he wanted, but nobody saw it, so he can't prove it, so he gets desperated to be inside the "room where it happens" so he can maybe stop things from going south.
@@niky_peixoto But of course, what this animation conveys, is the defeated look in Hamilton's eyes. He has tried everything else. EVERYTHING. And gotten nothing and nowhere. The only way he can get what he wants is something that will crush his soul.
@@Chirpysemperboy But I think "what he wanted" was by itself a problem. Like, Hamilton wanted so bad to have full control of the economy that he got to the point of rejecting alternatives that could also solve the problem, but that wouldn't give him this power (that's by the true story, it's not said in the song)
@@niky_peixoto were there alternatives? the way I see it the horrendously weak government can't do anything if the debt isn't at least in one place, and with all the states chipping in together for it.
This is giving me immense "Friends on the othe side vibes"
oh someone please Mashup this song with Friends on the other side now
I officially need this

"Madison and Jefferson are mercy-less"
Well considering General Mercer is shown dead at the beginning I guess you could say they're "Mercer-less"
PFFFT-
thank you sans
Thanks for the pun
i simultaneously love and despise you for this one
Lol
Fun Fact: Because Hamilton's affair takes place right before this song, he speaks in short quips for this song. All other songs he speaks with much more confidence, but we see Hamilton gain more confidence throughout the song, and start speaking longer and more witty phrases.
Oh yeah that *is* actually pretty cool
i was today years old when i found out about
_this_
I think that was cuz he was trying to follow burrs advice which doesn’t last long cuz that’s hard cuz he’s talkative
Although I could be wrong.
@@landofthewildmaddi3840both is good tbh
I personally think that the part where Hamilton takes on a more vindictive tone, mocking Burr and taking on this evil villain role never actually happened. It’s all just in Burrs head, he sees Alexander’s trap card move and it twists his mind.
it's a pretty cool guess
I think it's the opposite. If you analise Burr and Hamilton's true story, it looks more and more like Hamilton wasn't exacly a great guy while Burr was very good. Hamilton got into thousands of duels and he manipulated his gun so he could shoot faster (obviouly won all of them, since he was alive), and he used the same manipulated gun while dueling against Burr (I doubt he missed on purpose). Burr, on the other way, was described as having "the rigor of a devil and the imparciality of an angel", because in his job he was alwayns imparcial and fair even against people which were his opponents. He sent letters to Hamilton to ask him to back down on the rumors about him, because they were extremely serious, including a rumor about him fucking his own daughter (and we know how much Burr loved her and his family in general). Burr was also a feminist while Hamilton was much more conservative about it. There are also other storys, like how Burr lied to Hamilton so he could open a bank that destroyed Hamilton's party monopoly, and how Burr sold his watch to help poor kids because he didn't have anything else. I actually believe that Hamilton did acts of corruption and Burr noticed and tried to do something about it by becoming a politician of the opposition. Besides, Hamilton was trying to create a strong government and went as far as to want the president and senators to have LIFETIME positions, while Burr didn't like the idea at all.
@@niky_peixoto right except the Hamilton musical isn't actually real. We must accept the story presented and analyse it on its own merits. What "actually happened" doesn't matter and has no impact on the narrative presented.
@@drangelice Right, but I do think the inspiration cannot be ignored. I do think that Burr wasn't a complete villain at the musical either, even because I started to search about him because I like his character at the musical and I do think he looks nice, even if he looks, indeed, quite the narcissist
@@niky_peixotoI always assume is somewhere in between the rumors, I don't think we can ascertain for sure what happened but I think they were in the end just humans doing human stuff.
And as celebrities of the time any mistake gets exaggerated 100 fold.
We can all try to reach conclusions on what actually happened but the truth none of us were in "The Room where it happened" So it's hard to get all the context over why certain decisions were made.
I like how in the start both hamilton and burr are in the purple (dark), then hamilton appears in the yellow (light), and all through out the video burr is in the purple, - kept in the dark, - when the light shines barely on him when he has that talk with hamilton face to face, and asks him what happened. Then finally, he forces him self in to the light, because he wants to know what happens, he doesn't want to be kept in the dark no more. The yellow/purple really fit the mood well - well done! Also, we see the light shine, and burr watching out the window, meaning that he isin't connected to the truth, but he knows the news, so he is watching throught the window, not knowing the full context. I really like that part ^^.
Yes
Yess!! And when Burr goes into the empty rooms, the other threes figures are an even *darker* purple, which I thing symbolizes that what they said are hidden deeper in the dark.
Yo reading this, it really changes the way i look at the WHOLE animatic. Every part where you can see darker or more lighters hues of purple/yellow it really makes you think about the meaning of the line and AHHHH thank you for writing this
WHAT? THIS ANIMATIC IS SO GOOD!!! I love the way you portrayed the characters and all the emotion you put on them. The small animations you put as well as the background gives so much depth! Also the light when Burr talks to Hamilton shows a duality in their words and actions. I love this so much!!!
Whoa shit, I'm so honored man! You're an incredible artist yourself! I had a lot of fun with the lighting in this one, I'm so glad you noticed the little hints there 😁
I agree with Ziksua! (Btw AAAAAH! HI ZIKSUA!!)
I also like the transitions in the song!
@@HuangHYing Even Ziksua noticed you wow. That just shows how good this is :o
Oh my god even Ziksua noticed. It must be that good
E
3:36 I feel like something a lot of people forget is that based on his writing and speeches were pretty sure Hamilton was an actual genius and knew how to pull strings to get what we wanted
when hamilton says "you don't get a win unless you are playing the game" I feel burr took those words to heart because he looks so shocked and he then proceeded to start his political carrier.
Yes that is the point of the song
Its because, Hamilton has been taking NYC by a storm, he made a huge impact in their campaign while Burr just stands in a side line and "wait" for things to work out but he failed to realize if he wants things to change he needs to make decision and actually step up. Both Hamilton and Burr has dreams and goals only difference is Hamilton has ambition
Bruh, that's literally the entire point of the song. Bur doesn't really get it untill Hamilton goes "You get nothing if you wait for it." Which is why you literally hear him announce that he wants to be in the "Room where it happens."
hamilton: that's a lot less work
burr: we ought to give it a try
hamilton: 💧👁👄👁
Eh, just dying won't cut it, But Mercer defintly did less work than these guys
@@xaviergonzalez44 true true

One detail (probably unintentional) that goes unnoticed is the fact the redacted parts of the documents 3:12 almost looks like the staff on sheet music but with an extra line bc you know, its a musical

Just want to say, this definitely sounds like a Disney villain song, I know it isn't one, but it definitely sounds like it could be. And with Hamilton being on Disney+, this is basically a Disney villain song because Aaron Burr is technically a Disney villain.
Wait
Is Burr a villain?
._.
I do not fully embrace Hamilton yet, I started my adventure with him through cover, in a different language anyway, and somehow it turned out that Burr became my favourite character XD
And now you're telling me he's a villain here !?
@@burrito2981 Nothing wrong with a villian being your favorite character
And While i'd say burr definitely is the villian you can argue its hamilton, or even jefferson and madison to some extent
I think that Jefferson, Madison, and Burr can all be seen as villains since I think the musical is set in Hamilton's perspective
Especially 4:05 that part reminds me of Facilier
@@burrito2981 Me too! I searched into Hamilton's and Burr's story and I actually concluded that Hamilton was actually the bad guy and that Burr was a great guy.
I LOVE THE TRANSITION BETWEEN THE DOORS AND THE CARDS
edit: holy moly! last time i saw this animatic it had 3k views and now it’s already almost at 1mil !! definitely deserves it too!!
My favorite part as well, so smooth!
That was all Disney like
And then later when they become steps
Omg yes
I audibly gasped when I saw that, it was so brilliant
“And all he had to do was die”. This makes me cry because they actually named a street after Burr 🥺💗💔😭😭
@@greaterbritannia5745 oh wow. I could go on an entire rant on how you're wrong. But, in summary, he lost literally everybody he held dear. His parents died when he was young. Both Theodosia's died. Sure, he wasn't perfect, but who is? He was human. Saying that somebody who literally helped make this country what it is doesn't even get to have a *street* named after him because of his mistakes is like saying a normal person doesn't deserve to be remembered because of a stupid thing they said years before they died.
@Alexis Reum25 Hamilton agreed to the damn duel. Its equally Hamilton's fault
stephanie rachal bruh I’m an angry Hamilfan y u gotta be so harsh
Alexis Reum25 if you didn’t agree to a duel back then you were seen as cowardly so your right, he didn’t have a choice
Not tryna act like this doesn’t matter, but..
*does it just say “Aaron Burr, Sir?”*
I love how "I want to be in the room where it happens" suddenly changes to "I've got to be in the room where it happens"
Wow- Disney plus and a beautiful animatic-
I'm hella excited for Disney plus like I'm so gonna watch Hamilton the moment I wake up tomorrow 😂
Just wait an hour and thirty minutes my friend.
I wish I had Disney + ,then I could watch Hamilton.
Same ;-;
Philip Hamilton
PHILIP?
Me too :'(
Get the free trial if you aloud too :>
That's why I am here, watching old animatics.
The note around 4:20 when he gets all raspy is my fav part vocally. So much emotion. And this animator did so well👏
Hehe 420
Remember me of a classic Disney villain song 😂
Burr: and all he had to do was die
Ham: that’s a lot less work,
Burr: we oughta give it a try
Hamilton:confused rat noises
Lol
r a t n o i s e s
Me rememberng burr shot Hamilton, I guess when he said and all he had to do was die, and they should give it a try he wasn't lying
NO WONDER THIS TOOK 3 YEARS WHAT THE HELL-
The composition. The persPECTIVE. THE TRANSITIONS. THE USE OF ONLY TWO COLORS.
My god this was so fun to watch. Also, I love how Hamilton points Ace Attorney style haha. 3:57
You captured my absolute LOVE for this song (my favorite in the entire musical).
I personally LOVE 3:41 's position! It's so unique and expresses Hamilton's emotions brilliantly!
666th like :)
Connartz i also love that postition!
This is my favourite song to
3:57
i got Danganronpa vibes personally
*”NO, THATS WRONG”*
“My god in god we trust, but we never really know what got discussed” is such a powerful line!!! It reference the pledge and how we just blindly accept what our higher ups decide
For 2 years i misheard it as "my god he cant be trust" 😭💀🙏🏾
@@11MissingPhoenixI think that was also purposefully done, it just sorta makes sense, y’know?
Whoa...why do I feel like Hamilton is the villain in this song?! Especially at 3:35, Hamilton has that villian vibe going on...(lowkey attractive..dont judge me lol)
But damnn I love this!!!
Because every story has a villain, and even though burr is the villain is the villain in Hamilton's story, the opposite is true in burrs life
From a certain narrative perspective Hamilton is the antagonist.
I mean I always looked at things through burrs perspective, and Hamilton is the villain.
I find that Hamilton is the villain of his own story. He constantly foils himself and he shouldn’t have died. Love Hamilton (in the musical at least) but he had three months to call off the duel. Not to say Burr was right, but if Hamilton had said sorry or just called it off, he wouldn’t have left his family behind. His pride was a major downfall for him. He did a lot of things to foil himself. That’s just my perspective though.
A villain can be the protagonist of the story.
I love how horrified Burr looked when he was confronting Alexander after the meeting.
The part when it shows him in the light becoming a senator was a masterful ending.
This is a masterpiece! The colors, the transitions, the imagery.
If I list every single thing I like about this we'll be here forever, but here's a few:
1) the doors multiplying and turning into cards
2) madison's expression after everyone yells where they want the capital
3) burr peeping through the windows
4) the shadows with demon eyes
5) the yellow outline on a completely purple hamilton near the end
6) the screen goes blank once in the beginning and twice nearer the end, i especially liked "close your eyes" *clear background*
7) doors into stairs!!
Besides, of course, Burr literally chasing after the room and how beautifully you presented his struggle.
It's also synced perfectly with the music!
Also the fact that you started this three years ago and finally got the motivation to finish it is an inspiration to all artists
no. 2 is the best 😂
Also loved the wait for it part near the end
So, with the outline on Hamilton, I think it's to represent Burr's knowledge of him. The people in yellow are the people who are "in the room where it happens"- they know all the deep secrets that go on. The people in purple are the people in the dark. And, during the stated conversation between Burr and Hamilton, I think the yellow outline means that Burr only knows the surface level of Hamilton. He hasn't seen the entire person.
How this version shows Burr feelings more clearly makes this song so much more better even when we see what Burr is feeling sacred when Alex talks to him in the middle of the song
Thanks for the likes I never ever got one ☝️
Scared*
everyone talking about how lyn was like "yeah we don't know what happened" but does nobody else realize that this is also burr's want song? you could argue that this is where burrs arch starts given we never really know what he wants. wait for it just says he's willing to wait, and this is finally the song where we get it. we had to wait till the second act to see that burr wants to be in the room where it happens.
YOOOO THIS IS THE BEST “THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENS” ANIMATIC I’VE EVER SEEN!! I’VE SEEN A BUNCH BUT THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE!! THE EXPRESSION, THE EXECUTION, IT’S ALL BRILLIANT!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!
I agree I just luv the art and the ideas
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
The transitions, the expressions- they're all so great!
A couple of moments I especially loved:
- 1:58 Heheh Jefferson using the swivel chair (which he invented)
- 2:11 I love how TJeff, Madison and Hamilton are trying to be displays/paintings to fake their appearance to the public, the whole "talk less smile more" mentality and trying to save face.
- My absolute favourite scene in this animatic is the emphasis placed at 3:55 when Hamilton raises his hand, while saying that "I wanna build something that's gonna outlive me"- foreshadowing the moment when Hamilton aims his pistol at the sky.
(To get even more meta, the pose also mirror's the musical's logo, and the musical was not only a result of Alexander's legacy, but it has also become a part of his legacy :) )
Overall, amazing work! You should be proud of what you've created! You've earned a new subscriber :)
I was hoping at least one comment would point out the inclusion of Jefferson's swivel chair. I'm glad someone else noticed!
I AM AMAZED BY THIS COMMENT!
Wow he invented that never knew mind blown XD
@@catayak and they had to ban food from the senate because he kept forcing everyone to eat his macaroni cheese
Small extra thing, Jefferson’s menu consisted of ham, which I thought was silly
the compromise of 1790 was one of the most important bargains in american history but literally nobody knows what was talked about
0:30
"Do whatever it takes"
This line fits very well to a ton of his actions
I love how the musical not only tells the story of Hamilton, but also shows Burr’s isolation and I think the latter is better conveyed through this animation.
3:50 Hamilton throwing Burr's signature words right back in his face is ICE cold.
3:45 The way Burr looks at Hamilton is just chilling. Perfectly representing how much Hamilton is playing all the strings.
d a n g there were so many bits of shot composition, imagery, and lighting in here that were just,,,, so choice
The way Burr says “I got to be,” is so good 4:32
things you notice watching the hamilton musical
-Room Where It Happens occurs right as hamilton walks out of reynold's house
-washington and king george are part of the crowd during The Reynolds Pamphlet
-burr was smiling during hamilton's bit in The Election Of 1800. he legit thought hamilton was going to pick him, and he spent the rest of the song in utter shock
-when it's hamilton's turn in Your Obedient Servant, his dancers are sending waves of papers to burr, with the last one doing this incredibly sarcastic ballerina's walk as they flutter the paper to burr
-the running gag where madison keeps fucking coughing (the real madison was pretty sickly, but it's funny to see this giant burly dude keep politely coughing into a hankerchief)
This got me CHILLS
It's honestly the best Hamilton animatic I've watched
The way you played with lighting and the door symbolism to represent Burr's descend into the man who killed Alexander Hamilton is AMAZING
Your storyboards are incredible
0:17
Burr: " We oughta give it a try "
Hamilton: * NERVOUSLY LAUGHS IN "AARON BURR SIR! NO-" *
Burr helped Hamilton try that 😇
The whole thing is absolutely amazing, but what made this so great for me was the light symbolism. Everyone else that was ignorant to what was happening was always portrayed in the dark, even Burr himself was colored purple until the very end. I loved this too much.
I am overly happy that people are still making Hamilton animatics
Room where it happens animatics are always so interesting, and this is no exception like woah
53 reasons Hamilton fans are awesome
1. They appreciate good music
2. They can sing pretty fast and sing multiple parts
Hamilton wrote the other 51.
Why is this underrated?!
its cause so many people make that exact same joke on so many other Hamilton videos. I already saw a few on this vid alone. it's a cheesy but kinda funny joke, it's just annoying that so many people copy it.
Got us in the first half ngl
This is still funny
3:51 Omfg I love this. I love how the shadows saying ‘wait for it’ are grabbing onto Burr and both figuratively and literally holding him back. And how in the next frame they’re gone, but Burr still felt them and he looks behind him to see
It’s been like 3 months and I still can’t stop watching it. This is honestly the best animatic I’ve ever seen in my life
The “what do you want Burr”s get me every timeeee
I hope this doesn't go underrated
I love the line, "I arranged the menu, the venue, the seating", because all I can imagine is Jefferson pouring over papers with writing on them, with a large seating chart for all of 3 people, and staring at it very seriously. Someone walks in, sees him with a furrowed brow while staring at a chart with 3 chairs, and thinking out loud, "okay, but I can't put Hamilton to my right, next to the window, because he might jump out of it, and that would ruin everything, but I can't have him against the wall, because he might get aggressive. Hmm... Difficult. So difficult," and they come to realize he's been working on this seating arrangement for DAYS.
this is actually like one of my favorite hamilton animatics ive ever seen im?? i love the coloring and shading choices and how they're used (the purple vs the yellow), i LOVE the transitions and the way the animatic flows, the expressions and your art style, and the ending was not what i expected like dang the song ends with the start of burr's political career that's clever
basically i love this animatic & you did a dang good job!!
Love how the doors transition to become playing cards. The gun clicking sounds with burr losing it is hilarious to me. And burr blocking the viewer instead of his own eyes being covered is a really nice touch!
This i believe is where Burr's jealousey of Alexander really comes into play.

A NEW HAMILTON ANIMATIC! FINALLY!
Edit: AND IT’S ONE OF MY FAVE SONGS TO!
4:05 is the part where he FINALLY REALISES he’s a villain, prove me otherwise.
I spy with my little eye a fourth wall break but not really a fourth wall break
Burr isnt a villain though, in hamilton’s perspective he was the hero and burr was the villain but if you think about Burr’s perspective, he helped build up the country but nobody know him, he had no say and had his political reputation ruined by hamilton. He called him “unworthy” “does not deserve anything” or straight up lies. I think the villain is hamilton here
Extremely late but in my opinion, both of these guys were villains. Hamilton for spreading rumors and talking bad about him. Burr for losing his cool at the worst time. Of course, I do think Hamilton should have been more kind and stopped thinking about his legacy for at least 5 seconds because it really just reflected poorly on him later. So Hamilton is a greater evil but for me only by a slight margin. Ugh this is a waste why am I writing this
@@seafoam8845 well, historically, the rumors weren't wrong. Burr wanted nothing power for the sake of power.
Personally, I'd end a man's run for president if he was like that too
@@letstryagain9084 I’m pretty sure some of Hamilton’s rumors (like Burr being in an incestuous relationship with his daughter) were dead wrong and spread solely for the sake of ruining Burr’s life…They were both pretty power hungry and sleezy at times imo, so I agree with the others about the villain of the story depending on either’s perspective
The last second with smiling Burr SO EXCELLENT, MY SOUL SCREAM 😭
The use of lighting in this is absolutely amazing! You have the streetlights acting as spotlights, shining on those ‘in the room’ but not on Burr, who remains in the dark.
Then you have the backlight on Hamilton when he asks what burr is waiting for... it not only makes him seem that much more powerful than Burr but also, not to get too deep into the metaphor, could show how history shines on Hamilton but not Burr?
Anyway, at the end, when Burr becomes senator, he is now in the light. He’s made it into the room.
Sorry for the rant this is just so great!
No worries I love reading all these analyses and seeing what people get out of the animatic haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to write one yourself, thanks very much
I love how burr is literally stalking Jefferson and Madison
Omg the way you have them back to back during the “and all he had to do was die. Now that’s a lot less work we outta give it a try” so it mirrored the beginning of a dual. That is how you do artistic foreshadow
I really love this song, it's one of my favourites from "Hamilton".
The animation makes it better, the way you play with shadows to represent emotions or a moment of tension and the way you've made the characters I love it, it goes really well with the rhythm and the lyrics.
Yep
I love this is the closest we get to a "villain song" in the musical. Burr wasn't evil, but he was always the antagonist
This animatic along with the song gives me extreme “friends on the other side” vibes
I've been addicted to this song.... I hear fluent completion coming
The doors becoming cards is absolute genius.
3:56 Ok I can't be the only one who would play an alexander hamilton ace attorney game XD
:O
"Objection!!"
Or at least a mod or smth
This was hands down the best Hamilton Animatic I've seen so far, just wow-
The motions, the colors, the symbolism, just chef's kiss
Idk why but that line "hold your nose and close your eyes" gives me villain vibes
I love the contrast of yellow and purple with yellow being what was told to the public and purple being what happened behind the scenes. This is probably the best animatic I’ve ever seen
I don't know what it is about 3:57-4:03 that's so appealing to me. I love the way Burr was depicted. Nervous and sweaty, and then it's almost like he's spiraling before finally giving his true motive. And all of the animation from that point one was just really visually pleasing. Well done. 👏
SO PEOPLE, WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS:
Stellar drawing skills
Incredible foresight
Mind-blowing cinematography
Unparalleled reality to metaphor transitions
And one of the top animatics I have seen for Hamilton or anything else built with the love and passion that only a few possess. Standing applause, so good, and honestly, thank you for doing this for us.
Broo I love how you use lighting/color in this. Especially at 1:31 how when Burr opens the door it's dark but as soon as Jefferson opens it, its light again. This whole thing is so good! Great job!
at 2:59 i cannot get over his little awkward run omgosh. expressive , funny and clear
the visuals and ideas of this animatic are absolutely gorgeous this is AMAZING
In some ways I can sympathize with Burr. I myself tend to be a bit overly cautious, preferring to wait for an advantage before taking risks (or if possible not taking any risks). I also tend to be the kind of person that doesn't like rocking the boat, I try to avoid stepping on people's toes. Unfortunately for Burr, his caution and tendency to try to appease others deprived him of several opportunities that bolder men like Hamilton, who didn't mind saying things that might offend others and taking risks, took advantage of and benefited from. Caution and tact are not by themselves bad traits, they can in fact be quite positive depending on the situation. It's just that Burr took those two traits too far and in this situation it didn't benefit him. I can kind of relate lol, I have missed out on opportunities myself because I hesitated, didn't want to take risks or step on others. Hamilton is more mercenary in that way. A very minor example lol, but for example I have missed out on things that were limited (food, items, etc.) because I didn't want to push past others or be rude.
Also I'm sorry but at 3:57 I just imagine Hamilton shouting "OBJECTION!" lol
This is totally what i thought! Most times its actually smarter to be cautious. (In my experience at least)
No one:
Aaron burr: looking through the window like a creepy lad 2:56
*he peek*
He do be peeking
Jefferson: I arranged the meeting, the menu, the venue, the seating.
**In the room**
Madison: This Mac N Cheese is dry
Hamilton: I’m used to eating leftovers
Jefferson: DARE YOU INSULT MY FANTASTIC COOKING SKILLS AND CHALLENGE ME TO SATISFACTION
"YOU MADE THE MACARONI IN THE OVEN, WITHOUT ANY WATER"
@@yeahyeah4914 "NU"
“STOP TRASH TALKING MY AMAZING COOKING SKILLS OR YOU’LL HAVE NO MORE SWIVEL CHAIR PRIVILEGES!!!!!”
Thomas you need to use water not milk to cook Mac and Cheese!
Thomas do I have to call Burr to slap you
They were sorry they had absolutely no idea, so in return we got this masterpiece.
dude, ive never seen Hamilton, but i am now OBSESSED with this song and the animatic... good job
This is dope! Why EPIC the Musical animatics are recommending this to me are only mildly odd, but this was so impressive!
WINION!! Also its prob cause youtube figured you like musical animatics, it doesnt care about the musical that much xd
Fellow epic fans :D
BURR JUST STALKING THEM THROUGH THE WINDOWS IS SO GOOD
This is one of the most beautifully planned animatics I’ve seen. The switch between purple and yellow turned out amazing and the moving doors, switching of light and flitting figures create a perfect sense of urgency as if Aaron’s physically chasing after the “room where it happens”
This might be the best directed Hamilton animatic I've watched yet.Your choices are *chef's kiss*
It honestly never occured to me that this song is literal, as in we actually DONT know what happened. We can only speculate.
yeah we genuinely don't, this isn't even for a storytelling perspective
there really were only 3 people at that meeting, and what was said in there never made it out
That was probably the coolest use of complementary colors I've seen in an animatic. its so simple but sets it miles apart from a lot of the grayscale that's in all the other ones. plus the metaphors you managed to visually represent as well as the transitions, this was incredibly well made
