I LOOOVE the fact that you showed him not only making the raft but also her giving him supplies for the journey despite not wanting him to leave The expressions and little details are so on point
You're so good at expressions like you can tell Odysseus feels bad for her on some level! Like when he says I love you to Calypso he feels bad that he can't love her the way she wants but like that ending with all the vines trapping Calypso as she's crying
Where to start? I love so many things about this. Okay so, firstly, I love how you use Calypso’s magic to represent how she feels. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else do that. She used magic to create the flowers in an attempt to make Ody see how she feels about her and then at the end her magic sprouts out to stop her from approaching him. Like she subconsciously wants him to go because she knows that what she’s done isn’t right and Ody has a family to get back to. Secondly, I really like how Ody’s eyes lit up when he heard that he gets to leave and how Calypso’s eyes go blank when he leaves. Thirdly, the way the colors fade and dull in the end is perfect. It shows how the fantasy, the paradise, Calypso created in her mind is stripped away by reality. Ody is leaving and that’s final. She’s alone again. Lastly, you do an excellent job with toeing the line of Ody fully resenting Calypso and him feeling slightly bad for her. I can genuinely believe that a part of him does love her in some way but he’d never stay willingly. He hates her version of love but he can see why she’s like this. Masterful animatic all around. Many kudos.
Beautiful! I think you have a great balance between Ody resenting her keeping him for so long and his feeling sorry for her. And as others have said - visualizing her being bound to the island is fantastic!
Wow……. This Not Sorry For Loving You animatic is almost more sad than the others I’ve seen. You can really tell what Calypso is feeling. I also love how throughout the entire video she’s trying to help Odysseus and show him that she loves him despite the fact that he’s getting ready to leave. Absolutely beautiful 🖤
Man, I LOVE that Calypso design! SHE’S SO PRETTY EVEN THOUGH SHE’S DONE BAD THINGS TO ODYSSEUS! Ody’s little expressions showing that he somewhat feels bad for her almost made me tear up! Now I’m interested in reading the myth since everyone pointed out the vines that keep Calypso trapped on the island. Beautiful animatic as always! Happy Holidays!
This is stunning I love how one as soon as odyssey finds out he can go free he packs up and two I love how at the end when ody sails off calypso tries to follow him but is bounded to the island it’s so cool since she’s cursed to stay on the island Now go take a break love you and merry Christmas ❤
To add on to myself, the fans seem to have this obsession with making her abusive, but Jay has said she's more of a child who never really learned to grow up. Even singing about how she was cast away when she was young. I like it when they lean towards the 'canon' of Epic.
I hope you don’t mind, I’d like to add a little bit here, not to go against the spirit of what you’re saying but just to share some thoughts on the debate that I often see. To me, “she’s a horrible monster that did all of this on purpose and doesn’t really love Odysseus” and “she’s not an abuser because her love for him is innocent and she doesn’t mean to harm him” are BOTH false. I do believe that Calypso genuinely loves Odysseus. I also don’t think that makes the way she speaks to him and steps over his boundaries any less damaging. Putting aside whether or not she SA him in EPIC (which Jorge has said she doesn’t), I have been in a couple friendships where those people have spoken to me the way Calypso does to Ody. Any time I said something they didn’t like or disagreed with, they would pretend I hadn’t said that or disregard it while urging me to consider it from their perspective. They weren’t even talking to me, just talking AT me. They were also in other ways, good people who cared deeply and often did good things - they didn’t think they were harming me, but they were doing incredible damage to me. This is on top of Odysseus having no power to leave or other more equal/reciprocal relationships to help him feel like a real person and not an object. It doesn’t matter if we care for those people and the pain they’re in - if the way they interact with us can’t or won’t change, they’re poisonous to us. I do feel deeply for Calypso’s situation, and I do think there are fans that get really intense with the way they talk about her - I don’t want to discount that. I just also think that she is abusive, and that doesn’t make her deserve her fate. It’s horrible, and plenty “punishment” enough - not that I think punishment would help her or Odysseus. I wish she could have help and support and connections, from people who aren’t Odysseus. I hope it’s okay that I shared this, if you’d rather have your comments stand alone then I can delete it. Do let me know if you’d prefer that, I hope you’re having a good week!
@@JustKels It's totally fine that you shared, and respectfully so! It's a public comment, therefore open to everyone. And you did catch me mis-saying my point, my apologies. The fandom makes her physically abusive, which I think she isn't, but she most certainly is emotionally, I should've clarified that. I see her as a child who deep down knows something is wrong and can have some regret, but gets overshadowed by her selfish wants, even if it hurts someone. I'm not sorry for loving you displays that she'll let him go, but still try her best to justify her actions through gaslighting. I hope you have a good week too!
That makes a lot of sense! Yeah I can definitely see it that way, we’re all unable to look past our own needs and wants as children, and when you have no reason to practice moving away from that (and an island full of trauma), you’re pretty set up to fail. Particularly during this song, where he’s leaving anyway and it feels like there’s no hope for her to make things better in the future, it’s hard to imagine Calypso being able to admit (even to herself) how much she screwed up. What would be the point of that, just to hurt herself further once it’s too late? Ignoring the truth is such a strong protective impulse for her, and thus the reason becomes the blame. Ugh. UGH. It sucks so much 😩
I completely agree. I think it's entirely okay to recognize that what Calypso did is not okay while still acknowledging that her circumstances are incredibly difficult and sad.
This was absolutely amazing especially the ending pointing out the myth where she bound to the island. Your expressions on both of them chefs kiss ❤. Now take that break you truly deserve have a great hoilday season.
Oh this is GORGEOUS. It hits the perfect balance for me. Her giving/shoving the basket at him is great. Beautiful expressions, and I love the details of him preparing to leave as time is passing.
Yes ! Because a thing many animators and analizists of Epic seems to brush over is the fact that Odysseus, more than anyone, understand Calypso because they are, in a way, very alike. Both are able to go to ruthless lenghts in the name of love and hapiness. She kept him from leaving just like he sacrificed his crew to return to Penelope.
The timelapse of Odysseus getting to work and making the raft, Calypso wishing him a safe journey by giving him supplies despite not wanting him to leave, accepting of their fates, the flowers growing to show her emotion to Odysseus and then wilting once he's gone, and the strings binding her onto the island representing the curse of her isolation. This is so amazing!
I love how the plant's are keeping Calypso prisoner despite having control over them, She's probably been held back before being forced to see everyone she has loved or love's leave her over and over again
i like how (for lack of a better term) introspective the last bit feels. i've seen a lot of animatics where those last lines are just calypso having a temper tantrum. here, she's almost beating herself up, how could she have been so stupid, so immature, how do i deal with these feelings? and i think the only other place where i've seen this is lampyrcy's animatic. the vines i think make it better, as if she wants to go after him, but she knows that there's no stopping him. it's really cool on the song's part how ambiguous these lines are, but i very much prefer this interpretation, especially since jorge toned her down a LOT for epic (for context, she sexually abuses him, whereas here, she just kinda flirts with him without going much beyond that).
I love how calypso while not wanting to leave helps him with supplies cause she does care for him and Odysseus looks like he feels bad for her I mean you’ve been around each other for 7 years how could you not
This was amaseing. very well done. My fav. parts were the little montage of Ody building the raft, how expresive evrything was, and the idea of the flowers keeping her on the island, just very cool
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE AMAZING ANIMATIC 🥺 I've been looking for one that doesn't make me feel like Calypso is being totally branded as a horrible and manipulative “person” in this song,even hinting at other types of abuse. I'm so tired of that so thank you so much for making this animatic,I love it!!!💕💕
This is AMAZING. The emotions are so on point, and I love that even though she doesn’t want him to leave she still helps him :'( also the way her OWN (I assume that's what it is?) magic stops her from going after him?? Bro, that’s so good and I'm analyzing the fuck out of that. It's such an interesting look into her psyche and the way you portreyed Calypso it makes me do laps around my room. I also love that you didn’t villainise Calypso here. Everyone can have their own interpertations of course, but there's really nothing in EPIC that confirms she did the same things as in the myths and I don't think Jorge would have made this song so symphatatic were that the case here. Anyway, I love your art style and this is genuinely probably my favorite Not Sorry For Loving You animatic.
I absolutely loved discovering a new brush and only drawing with that brush for a long while. I appreciate your art and the speed at which you share it with us, thank you for putting in so much care and work!
Calipso being held back by jarn at the End of the clip is such a nice Visual. As she is a weaver in the lore and curse to stay on the island. Freaking love the art style and story telling you do❤
Amazing animation! I love the details on Calypso like the tattoo/vine on her calf. And the end showing how she is trapped on the island is so heartbreaking, but added to show that she really hoped she could follow/leave the island.
Thank you for this take on the song! Calypso’s situation is complex and her time with Odysseus isn’t black and white. She’s a prisoner trapped on this island and most of that time is spent alone excepts for these specs of time when someone else washes along which could take 100s of not 1000s of years in between. She latches on to any real connection she can have and while this isn’t an excuse for forcing her love onto people, what else would an immortal do who’s trapped?
THIS IS SO GOODDDD Been waiting for this and NOT DISAPPOINTED! :D i LOVE the way you showed how she was bound to island, and also her giving him provisions for his journey despite not wanting him to leave. also Ody’s expressions are so on point?? there’s such a fine balance between resenting her for keeping him trapped here, and feeling bad because of her curse and story, and probably also getting to know her over the years. Also your character designs are just jsvdksjxjshksnzjs Either way gorgeous animatic, into the epic playlist it goes
I love every interpretation of Calypso, really. Be it the lonely girl, or the other one. Regardless, I love that in this one, Calypso isn't really against with Ody leaving. She respects his decision, and admits to him that she feels very sad about it and vents her frustrations.
This makes me think of that one AU on Ao3 where the lining person is coughing up flowers until they either die or confess their love. Except this way, Calypso still doesn’t get her catharsis for confessing. Ugh, I may have complicated feelings about her but I really like this take on her; being a victim similar to Ody (not the same but they do have some similarities) ❤️❤️
... I like Calipso, in the original and the musical, but every single time I hear this I just have to add Odysseus responding "BI*** BE SORRY FOR KIDNAPPING ME!!!"
How dare you just send me at 1:19 without any warning in the middle of the heartbreak? I wasn't ready for him 😅 Wonderful animatic and storytelling, there's so many little details to appreciate here.
Honestly this whole song linda comes off as her being sad and quite bitter... Especially the line about him not being to handle her love like its his fault... Just ick

Oh I LOVE that the plants keep her from following him. It's so sad to see that the same plants she has control over still keep her prisoner.
she fr fr can’t leave? i thought that was made up
I love love the idea that the island itself is keeping Calypso tied to it. Great joice with the vines and stuff. Great expressions and colors too!
A popular EPIC animator?
GWENDY/NS2D THE POPULAR EPIC ANIMATOR????
Thanks for lending me the walking cycle reference Gwendy 🙏💙

@1:30 I really like how you included Odysseus building his raft to get home to Ithaca.
THE FLOWERS?
THE LIGTHING ?
THE BASQUET ?
THE EMOTION ?
THE EVERYTHING?
You cooked hard🔥🔥
Beautiful! I think you have a great balance between Ody resenting her keeping him for so long and his feeling sorry for her. And as others have said - visualizing her being bound to the island is fantastic!

Little flat Odysseus sent me into a fit of giggles 😂😂
Also, Calypso’s colour changing when she says “I hate that I fell in love with you” is PERFECT
Man, I LOVE that Calypso design! SHE’S SO PRETTY EVEN THOUGH SHE’S DONE BAD THINGS TO ODYSSEUS! Ody’s little expressions showing that he somewhat feels bad for her almost made me tear up!

The scar on his leg? The island holding her back? Not making her an absolute creep like everyone else is making her? I LOVE THIS!

1:21 XD Odysseus face I CCAANNTT
YES, an animatic where odysseus actually sympathizes with Calypso a little bit, thank you so much
Yes ! Because a thing many animators and analizists of Epic seems to brush over is the fact that Odysseus, more than anyone, understand Calypso because they are, in a way, very alike.

I GOTTA SEE A GET IN THE WATER OR SIX HUNDRED STRIKE🙏🙏🙏
1:21 THE WAY ODY’S DRAWN PLEASE 😭 This is really pretty though :)

This is the most unique animatic of the song I’ve seen! Omg ur so talented! Keep up the awesome work! 💖💖
Damn... The scene when ody make a raft it's a good detail, love it.
I absolutely loved discovering a new brush and only drawing with that brush for a long while.
I appreciate your art and the speed at which you share it with us, thank you for putting in so much care and work!
Wonderful, it was a good choice to have Ody build the raft while listening to Calypso. It makes the entire scene more sad.

And the end showing how she is trapped on the island is so heartbreaking, but added to show that she really hoped she could follow/leave the island.
Damn, I rlly like your style of animation, would you consider making a tutorial for your specific style of animation
This is the first animatic I've ever seen that actually made me feel legitimately sorry for Calypso. Wow.
Thank you!This is gorgeous! ❤
I love the visual at the end, showing that Calypso was just as much a prisoner of the island as Odysseus was.
Despite my personal feelings towards the song, I loved this animatic!! you did a wonderful job Krieo! ^^
This is my favorite animatic for this song, I love the emotion, the plants, EVERYTHING
The art style and colors are so pretty 😍 I think I'm in love with this one
Dang, that may be my favorite one so far from all the animatics of this song that I watched...
SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ANIMATIC

This is gorgeous and so sad. Feel bad for both of them.

It's all good. I think she later marries his son? I'm not quite sure about it
Nope, that’s circe
@karina_luv7561 riiiiiiight. And doesn't his other son, the one he has with calypso, marry Penelope?
