song: Dust and Ashes from Great Comet - • Dust and Ashes
this was ridiculously fun to do. goddamn I love this musical and I love this book. currently rocking out to rapid-fire epiphanies
also, a character design for Pierre - sealbatross.tumblr.com/post/6...
What's a model but the middle of waves - up and down to differing degrees of roundness
and now for relevant(?) quotes -----
After everything had mixed and simmered and worked away in silence, there would be neither fire nor water, but wine. Out of two separate and opposite things, a third.
(Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451)

I love how everyone has very distinct character designs and that the shading was done with such a textured brush!!! also the closed captions are so good hdhdjsk
Fjfjf thanku thanku

FINALLY a version where Pierre isn't some tall skinny silver fox guy. This is the Pierre I know and love
YOUR USE OF SHAPE LANGUAGE IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THE FANDOM ALIVE
THANK YOU THIS FANDOM ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO LIVE
The way Pierre is drawn here is so perfect, I just wanna hug him like a teddy bear
he goes through the five stages of grief over his own death
I love your Pierre design!! I’ve seen a lot of thinner pierres on UA-cam so to see a bigger one with your geometric art style is really cool. Just in general the way you design characters is super neat, they’re all very charming and have hella personality
Before anything else I gotta say I love the closed captions XD "Running out of onomatopoeia" "wearing clown shoes :((" "don't abandon us father :'(" And I love this animatic and how dramatic it is, and your character designs!
UA-cam finally allows captions to be added pre-upload easily. Power will naturally be abused.
...Well, now I've gotta watch it again with the closed captions!
GOD THE LAST STRETCH OF THIS ANIMATIC STARTING FROM HIS MENTAL BREAKDOWN CONVEYS SO MUCH EMOTION. ITS LIKE IM GOING THROUGH IT WITH HIM I- SEAL, THIS IS SO GOOD 😭 I FEEL LIKE A PROUD PARENT I-
IM SO PROUD TO HAVE A PROUD PARENT THANK YOU 😭
The "im running out of onomatopoeias" killed me. The animatic is beautiful and the captions are the icing on the top!
YOOOO THIS IS SICK im losing it over the values and texture--- him reflecting on past life events was so good jksdfs i could go on and on but the gun at the beginning tho😳😳
Glad you enjoyed! Justice for ornamental guns 💪
"Pierre's really bad, awful, no good hangover"
Perfect 😆
I'm in the middle of reading war and peace for the first time (I'm doing a year of war and peace, reading one chapter a day) and I have to say this really hit differently than when I saw the musical or any other time I listened to this song.
I really appreciate the facial expressions and the character design and I LOVE how you incorporated all the defining moments in peirre's life and this just made me feel a whole lot of feelings so thank you for that! This is one of the best animatics of anything I have ever seen
Good luck with reading (it really picked up halfway through for me)! And thank you for such high praise! now verified by a war and peace reader ✨✨
AAH MAN ITS ONE OF MY BELOVED MUSICALS AAAHDHHSJSNSNNSNNWNW POOR PIERRE OH MY GOD I'M SO HYPED I LOVE IT AF
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The character design, the flow, the reference to other parts of the musical and the book and the SUBTITLES, this has to be my favourite thing in the world!
AND THE ENDING. HOLY COW.
@@lilyeatseverything3079 I'm very glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching :)
Fave moments:
Daddy bezukhov cameos (DADDY ISSUES ABOUND!!!!!!!!!)
whenever the visuals reflect a purely musical shift like Pierre falling off the rooftop or the sky clearing up after the rain...
THE DUEL SHIFTING TO THE EXECUTION??? BRUH.
the swirlt surreal camera moves of the bit with the bookshelves
Your animation reminds of old Disney sketches and it makes me nostalgic and emotional. 😭
That means a lot 😭 thank you for watching!
Yoooo, it really seems like a dream when he sings about waking up
As a musical fan who usually skips past animatic recommendations on UA-cam, this one had me locked in for the entirety. You nailed so many tiny little emotional affects, Pierre just looks perfectly bedraggled and despondent, and the phantasmagoric transitions are so strong; it felt like I was listening to the song for the first time again (which is saying a lot, as I had a profound reaction to the original all by itself and am now having a second, equally profound reaction).
Beautiful work, truly.
man,,, that means so much! thank you, so glad you enjoyed
I love that he bends the bar because of his big big hands
I love how you told the story in this, Great Comet is one of my favorite musicals and I felt like I had this intense out-of-body experience being immersed into Pierre’s universe and mindset and the captions are epic and just aaaaaaah absolutely stunning work, thank you so so much for sharing this with the world!! Now I want to read War and Peace...
thank you so much for feeling these humble scribbles.... out of body experience I'm gonna cry...
war and peace is a wild ride. I dare you to give it a go 👀
dare accepted 👀
OH MY GOD I DIDNT THINK YOUD MAKE A GREAT COMET ANIMATIC BUT HERE WE ARE AISJSJA
god your animatics are so pleasing and emotional to look at
AHAHAH I didn’t think so either, but now I’m emotional. Thank you!
Holy moly! The atmosphere and how you portrait emotions is simply incredible. The feels and I don't know these characters, your effort truly shines.
I've never read War and Peace, but this animatic actually makes me wanna.
👁️📖👁️
Bruh this turned out STELLAR!! I love Pierre going through his past in this drunk existential loop. It really captures his regrets. Wonderful art! 👌
ALSO AT 2:15 I LITERALLY HAD TO PAUSE AND COMPREHEND THAT TRANSITION WHAT WOAH 😭
UFFFFFFFF I CAN BARELY IMAGINE HOW CAN YOU ANIMATE THIS BUT I KNOW I WILL LOVE IT
that was so good !! and really long, props to you !
i dont know this musical or the book, but a good old existential crisis is always good for the brain
plus i love the dusty texture over the shadows, or the night sky, that we find throughout the video, it fits the title and the atmosphere really well and really makes me feel like i'm watching a sketchbook in motion
Thank you! Every day is crisis day :)
And yes, I was going for the sketchbook - out of page vibe, homage to it's roots being in a dusty old novel
I like that you kept him a more Corpulent Guy but he's still handsome. You don't see that a ton
I'm so obsessed with all the symbolism in the animation. Every time to cuts to Natasha and the end when angle wing painting lining up with Pierre is my favorite. I Can't wait to see more of your work.
OH GOD THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!T The parallels between Natasha and Pierre in the "Did I look up and see the moon?"! The shadows, the lights!! The way you draw Pierre!! you don't understand, i'm obsessed!!!!!
wowwow I loved seeing this animatic slowly develop over time. I’m no expert on animatics but I think you really mastered the use of simple designs and using simple shapes and lines to bring it to life. You’re art style is always so fascinating, and I loooove the shading in this one!!!
Glad it’s fascinating! Thank you so much!!
This was BRILLIANT. The Transitions??? And the idea with showing all of the characters on the "aaah" towards the end? You are doing this masterpiece justice!
thank you!!!
oh my god, i love how Pierre points the gun at himself at 0:48. This is genius!
SIX MINUTES OF PURE GLORIOUSNESS??? Me at the end: *biting my nails, sitting close to the edge of my seat, wATCHING THE CAPTIONS GO INCREASINGLY MORE "UUUUUH" AND THEN HE WOKE UP!? IT WAS A DREAM AAAA* I WAS SO READY TO ..wake up?!?? I WAS SO READY FOR HIM TO HAVE HIS MOMENT!! I WAS I REALLY WAS! (and oh my fucking god the "hello handsome ;)" the fUCKIGBFH BGFDJI I Mean you ain't wrong! Anyways..Am i going to break this down?? Or attempt to even if I don’t know jack shit about this? Yes, YES I AM! And I'm 100000% going to be looping this thank you for introducing me to a new song Imma be obsessed with!
omg *claps hands* im lowkey so happy I love doing this im so sorry no seriously please tell me to stop if I get annoying BGDFBHJGFD
---
*goes to the beginning. Sees "ding ding" in captions. Disables captions* Im sorry those are going to make me cakle way too much but rest assured I will be watching this with captions on from the beginning next time KEK I love when people go wild in the captions its great, feels like an easter egg ROFL
0:06 - Still frame. Nothing to say here eXCEPT GORGEOUS GUN AHOY! I would love this oh yes, give it to me. These type of guns from this era are just...they didn't HAVE TO MAKE EM SO PRETTY BUT THEY DID and im so GRATEFUL BHDFBGDH (and also cannot forget the rain. The rain in animatics is always just hhhh you didn't have to put so much timei nto it and yet you guys do and it makes it so pretty and i love it you guys ;-; YOU GUYS you artists what would i do without you
3:07 - WHOA WHOA Pierre! The books aren't to blame ;-; The fact he deliberately threw some off the shelves is just BGFHBGFJ and then he lit them ON FIRE PIERRE NOOO PROPERTY DAMAGES!
3:11 - You are right, you are very right and you're also very much in a building on fire. The imagery is fantastic! Opening the curtains letting the light in, telling yourself you'll stop living in ignorance bUT OPENING THE WINDOWS IS MAKING THE FIRE WORSE PIERRE NO!
3:12 - This man KICKED THE DOOR OPEN. He is on fire. Metaphorically. God I love how DYNAMIC ALL OF THIS IS YES YES I Do not want to pause bUT I MUST FOR SCIENCE!
3:15 - He just tore those boards off how strong IS he! And speaking of boards! Boarded up windows?! Getting more and more intriguing his backstory
3:18 - DELICIOUS IMAGERY YES YES YOUR WAY OF STORYTELLING IS SO FUCKIN GOOOOOOD
3:25 - That entire sequence is perfection what can I say? except your welc- thank you for making this gloriousness and sharing it ;-;
3:27 - YES YEEES (i literally did yell that outloud) THE CLOSE UP ON HIS BARE FEET, THE BEAT! THE WALKING! YES YOU WALK PIERRE! YOU WALK AS YOU SING THAT YOU WILL WRITE GOD! Perfect, the matching the beat you do that so well so perfect I LOVE *flips*
3:32 - I CAN'T BREATHE! THIS IS ALL JUST TOO EPIC FOR ME TO HANDLE! All the movements, the fkin CROSSED OUT EYES TEH DROOL OH MY GOD!! HE HATES WHAT HE USED TO BE SO MUCH AAAA GBFDHBGDJGDF
3:39 - IM sounding like a brocken record but the expression!! PIERRE SAYS "FUCK LOOKING PRETTY ITS USELESS IF THATS ALL YOU HAVE"
3:36 - BUT ALSO the church seats are empty on his "funeral", do I smell SIGNIFICANCE IN THAT? Yes, Yes I do. Is there actually? Probably not BHJGFBHJGBHJ
3:43 - HE LEGIT JUST CLIMBS OUT OF THE COFFIN! I LOVE how you use the metaphors and the imagery caused by them as a seamless way to continue ITS JUST SO PERFECT
3:46 - He feels so *free* like his movements arent as much anger anymore as they are determined as fuck. I mean opening double doors in that way?? *chef kiss* and the BIRDS! Yes free as a bird he is~
3:47 - No sir I shall NOT pass up this chimney and its smoke no matter how FAST YOU GO
3:48 - and the SMOKE seamless into the darkness of his own mind AAAAAAAAAAAA Im going to DIE by the end of this
3:54 - oh shit the smoke has become sentient! But no no ofc not, thats his own thoughts and mind about to beat him to death with an AXE BGFDHBDF
3:58 - HHHHH HE WAS WHITE AND NOW HE'S ENTIRELY IN THE SMOKE AND ASHES TONE!! MMM *FLIPS*
4:00 - OOF this man just got shOT
4:01 - THE FOOT THE TWIST AND THE SHOOOOOOOOOOES!!!!!!
4:08 - This is a very important imagery. He is NOT the one with the gun! Oh and then it switches! A soldier and an execution, maybe? *GASP* WAS PIERRE FRRRRAMED? Did he believe he did something when he didn't actually? Twisty twisty road
4:16 - Things be calming down and the smoke and ashes tone has lightened up a bit. *PHEW* I feel like I too need to take a breath BHGDFBHJGF
4:30 - i feel so emotional..look at him ;-; ahhh that face!
4:33 - hHHHH THE CHORUS FUCK ME UP! ANGEEEEEEEELS and the fireplace - wait...wait a second. Was that match he threw before into the fireplace?! HOLD ON A SECOND GODDAMN YOU BAMBOOZELED ME SO HARD bhBHJDFBHJGFDBJ
4:48 - Yes you *can* fall in love with writing *nods*
5:06 - OH SHIT HE THREW THE BOOK IN THE FIRE!! No more sleeping pierre! ITS TIME TO WAKE UP (also in coming the ending which absolutely destroyed mE)
5:12 - Oh thats very intriguing! The doorway he was about to go through was filled with the dust and ashes motif but then he turned around towards the window! And outside which was just a second ago filled with dust and ashes and fell of a roof! suddenly is the exact opposite because its real life and not in his head YEA PIERRE WE ARE NOT STAYING A SHUT IN GFBHGFBGFD where is my mind going XDD
5:18 - Just in that was not young Pierre (i realized that the first time i watched it and when i started this i completely forgot and EVIDENTALLY I MADE THE SAME MISTAKE BHDFBHJDF)
5:20 - Ahhh all the different people and NOW HE'S ONE OF THEM! He's allowing himself to be one of them eeeeee
5:26- YAASSS LIFT THAT WINDOW! I AM READY! I AM REAAADY
5:29 - FLASHBACK FLASHBACK FLASHBACK FLASHBACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is what happened PRIOR to this entire dream sequence ISN'T IT!?
5:30 - DOGGO!
5:35 - The fuckin flashing images AAAA THEY TELL THE STORYYYYY
5:36 - Ack..that makes me so sad ;-; noooooo
5:42 - Climbing up and up and up and up, metaphorically trying to climb out of the pit he drank himself into AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ALL OF HIS VICES SEEM SO MUCH BIGGER THAN HIIIIIIM!!!!!
6:03 - THIS HIT THE EXACT SAME FEELING AS THE FIRST TIME I GOT TENSED UP AGAIN GODDAMN IT THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOD
6:14 - goddamn this so fucking good and also I SEE THAT BIRD WING FROM THE CABINET LIGHNING UP WITH HIS BACK I SEE YOU!!
-
JESUS FUCK THAT WAS SO GOOD excuse me while I put this on loop now.
@@cheshireshadow518 Oh hello! I see you have conjured another wall of oh so beautiful thoughts. Thank you very much beforehand. I am so grateful that this piece of something is worth such a detailed dissertation
Alrighty I’m excited to see from the outside pov let’s gooooooo
NO IT'S NOT ANNOYING I'M HOLY HELL FLATTERED EVERY TIME
also I’m glad you enjoy doing this so much!
-
Lmao yeah, I like ruining the mood nice and early. Captions being useful? Who needs that??
0:13 I read that the right way twice … gut in the punch, seems legit
0:26 Josh Groban is Pierre’s Broadway actor, he’s great. Dave Malloy (the original) I love love love too
0:36 yes Pierre is nice and rich, has time to contemplate these trivialities like being good enough
0:40 OH that’s a good point, taking off the shoes to connect with nature… My thoughts were: a. It would be neat that he takes them off on the principle of metaphor and b. Reference to unfortunate circumstances that befall him in the book where he does not wear shoes and Tolstoy described those foot sores in way too much detail
0:48 I’m glad it’s coming together even if you don’t know the context lmao
0:49 that duel was a pretty fresh memory but a memory regardless
0:53 I feel like I’m being found out. Lmao yes, no drinking and firing shots over 40mph, we talked about this...
1:26 hold on what? Eyebrows??. gotta rewatch this hold on. Ok lol yeah for me eyebrows are way more important than eyes. Sometimes too lazy to draw eyes, BUT THERE WILL BE BROWS
1:24 yeah ur right, inception time ahahaha I sincerely hope it’s not TOO confusing
1:33 yup it’s his dear old rich dad, oh god nooo too much inception if he’s mourning for himself… interesting to think about though
1:38 TREES ARE MY CALLING also yeah sorry, rip nature, become columns for me
Ohhh that makes sense, ahaha this is when Pierre (manipulated by people who wanted his newfound wealth), proposed to the most beautiful lady in Moscow (Helene). Helene (book version) knows just how to act properly in society always,,, hence the appropriate expressions instead of… idk pain. Also in the book, she stops him from kissing her hand and she kisses his lips instead. I think I could have made those poses clearer. Yeah it’s a complicated Russian novel
Anyways thank you!
1:44 oh Pierre has so many milk cartons of self-loathing. He opens his fridge and that’s all he sees in there
1:56 did Pierre see all these events? Who knows? Stage Pierre might have seen these people, perhaps not book Pierre. But we’re all made of the same stuff - dust and ashes, and in this state (absolutely drunk) who could say?
2:06 don’t inject sand kids, don’t be like me 👍
2:14 oh ok well, I’m shook. You got it, yes he never loved and she's very much in love
2;27 war and love? War and peace!
2:33 this is Andrei - Pierre's best friend who went to war. Now I’m thinking about a version of this musical where everyone is Pierre and constantly going through an emo phase
2:35 hhh thank you! This part of the book where Andrei (spoilers)
Felt such love for his fellow humans and for a man who had wronged him - that only the brink of death can give him sticks with me forever
2:46 awwwww yes so many hands. Pierre famously has big red hands lmao. Also, your interpretations are popping off hahaha consequences ehhh? Yes, yes his bursts of violence do lead to some ..uh consequences…
Lmao this is pretty much where I had to split the rendering for this video, I could only render one half at a time without it crashing so perfecto comment break
3:07 it’s ok to burn - they’re mind books… or is that worse? Oh, I just realized Fahrenheit 451 is applicable here as well, for the literal BOOK BURNING that’s happening… I included the quote for completely different reasons lol
3:12 pausing FOR SCIENCE!
3:15 boarded windows, what a hermit
3:25 your welcome ~~~ for the sun, the sea, and the sky.. or something lol I don’t know this song *frustration *
3:27 lots of hands and feet brother, that’s how we *move*!
3:32 I’m actually shaking from LMAOI forgot I put that dead framed Pierre there and was wondering what the hell you were going on about hhhhh
Random info: This is a very bad reference to one of the official photoshoots of Pierre and his accordion
3:36 actually yes, the empty funeral hall was intentional, for big self loathe energy
3:47 you caught a chimney!
3:54 YES that’s him beating himself, also, obscure and badly drawn ref to another beating in the musical for those who’ve seen the studied the bootleg frame by frame 😂
4:08 yes I like making it confusing, shot1 is the duel that just happened in the musical(previous song), then second, ref to war and peace, where he was um, spoilers - is taken prisoner and to the execution which was a major turning point for him
4:33 did he light this fireplace while in his 3rd layer of inception HMMMMMM
5:12 I'M GLAD YOUR MIND IS GOING AT ALL LMAO but yes no more being a shut-in
5:20 ONE OF US, ONE OF US man I didn’t think of this part as Pierre becoming one of them, or did I? I guess I never verbalized it to myself but what else could it be? Me confused ashjd
5:30 correction - BABY-BEAR-O that frame is horrible sketchy I apologize
WE ARE A GOD AND ANGELS WEEP
Thank you for that journey holy crap, I’m surprised you found so much stuff and this animatic is semi-coherent despite all the obscure book and musical refs I attempted to stuff in! Thank you for writing and most of all, thank you for feeling!!
@@sealbatross Me: *starts listening to the musical because why the hell not?*
The musical: It's a complicated Russian novel
Me, losing it: WAIT A SECOND SEAL WAS QUOTING IT BGFDHBGDFHGFD
edit: I LOVE HOW THEY'RE DOING THE THING! Where after every introduction they list every single one all over again I LOVE Omg okay no no no im not gonna gush about every single thing in here no sir RESTRAINT i must have it
@@cheshireshadow518 BAAHAHAHAH YES GO ON MY LITTLE ANGEL, TREAT YO EARS
It's so awesome to see an animatic from someone who clearly read the book! Obviously it doesn't really matter if someone reads the book or not, but it was amazing to see callbacks to other scenes from War and Peace not shown in the musical. Great stuff!
omg I just realized that the design on the cabinet lines up on his back at the very end to make angel wings! HOLY CRAP!
This is incredible. I’m currently reading war and peace, and I love seeing the little details ripped straight from the book. Pierre trying to mimic Dolokhov’s dare and dancing with the bear haha. Amazing work.
ayyy more war and peace readers! thank you :)
I LOVE FINDING MUSICALS LIKE THIS! STUNNING WORK!!!
YES JOIN ME IN GREAT COMET
I AM SO IN LOVE WITH THIS, I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED THE MUSICAL, BUT THIS MOTIVATED ME TO CONTINUE, IT' SO AMAZING!! I ADORE IT!!!!!!
Woo! I’m invested in your investment! This musical is hella good
YOOOO IT’S FINALLY DONE IT’S SO GOOD
OH MY GOD!!!! This is so gooooooooood!!!! The concept- the execution- the visualization- just, **chef's kiss** I especially love 5:15 !!
Considered sticking every book character in there while elongating the audio, but it got a bit.... much
I know I’m two months late pls scream at me for not finding this beauty earlier even tho I’ve loved this musical for so long. But I wanted to say:
This is a masterpiece TY for being a living human I appreciate you and I love the effort put into this
Aye! I got to watch you work on this! Dude it came out amazing! Well worth the wait! ALSO LOOK AT THOSE AMAZINGLY DRAWN TOES and GUN- DAMN! Love it all.
TOES AH YES MY MASTERPIECE
Thank you for watching!
welcome to todays episode of "pierre is unhinged"
no but this is GREAT!! i love the inception vibes and the texture and lighting, it's fantastic!
pierre is unhinged.. but in a friendly no one gets hurt but me way （￣︶￣）, and thank you!
OH YES MY FAV SONG FROM ONE OF MY FAV MUSICALS thank you so much!!!
Yw my dude, hi five on that!
OKAY I DON'T HAVE AUTOCAPS SO IMAGINE THIS WHOLE THING IS IN CAPS BECAUSE I AM SCREAMING RN: okay first off as someone who's read war and peace twice in a year because it's my favorite book i am S O B B I N G over this animatic (no really actively crying). all the references to pierre's adopted father and when he became the count, and seeing the photo of him and getting so upset like AH. AN D THE REFERENCE TO UHhhhhh i forget the battle the one with andrei and napoleon (wow so specific) when he says "where is that lofty heaven which i had never seen before but which i saw today, and the man above me, standing in the way, shadowing God" RIGHT AS THE "we are of God and angels weep" LIKE HOOOOLY SHIT. AND LIKe 2:00-2:15 fuc king BROKE ME. you bet your ass im going to reread this book...,,,,, fantastic job thank you SO FUCKING MUCH!!!!1!!1!!!!!1111!!!!
YOO HOW DID I MISS YOUR COMMENT aghhhhh. TWICE in a year, yes, yes I am in the process of joining you ITS so GOOD. Thank you so much for watching and your comment ahfhgh
Oh gosh I think I literally cannot put into words just how much i love your art
Because all I feel inside right now is this HUGE explosion of admiration and joy, like, how is this even possible???
All of the characters that keep appearing during the animatic??? Pierre reminiscing of his not-so-long-ago youth?? THE WINGS AT THE END????? GODDAMNIT HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO MAKE ME FEEL THINGS EVEN BECAUSE OF THE WAY U MADE SUBTITLES??? We are reaching the level of professionalism that shouldn't even be possible
Thank you so much for creating this. you are making my life better with any piece of art you create, so thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!!!!!!!
P.S. Also the quotes you listed are, very much indeed, VERY relevant
P.S.S. THANK YOU
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhjjjjjjjhhjguhuhuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Saw his performance live. Took the oxygen outta the room, it was so good
I had the great opportunity to see Josh perform this character live. It was literally breathtaking, his performance. A perfect way to end the first act.
Oh my god... you are an artist. And a very underrated one at that.🙏❤️
OKAY BUT HOW DID THIS VIDEO NOT BLOW UP WHATT. IT IS THE BEST ANIMATIC IVE SEEN ON UA-cam EVER
Dawww I’m flattered
you got rid of the plant :'( Rip lil Audrey 2
R.I.P
Wasn't meant to be 😌🌱
OH OKAY THIS IS *AMAZING* WHAT THE THE FUCK! EVERYTHING IS SO NICEY DRAWN AND YOU CAPTURE FEELINGS SO WELL AND I L O V E YOUR ARTSTYLE AND HOW DO YOU MAKE EVERYTHING SO BEAUTIFUL AND WHAT THE HELL??? You are a god is the only logical conclusion
*sob*
so uuuuuh this animatic is professional level shit and may or may not have gotten me into The Great Comet musical, and I’m gonna die mad about how I’m compelled to show this to all my friends because it’s REALLY FUCKING GOOD
Also it has taken me an ENTIRE month to realize the closed captions are hilarious, 10/10
Damn this was amazing, literally am at a loss for words!!
the movement/energy and framing was amazing
The way he looked at his shoes, so disappointed lol
that one dislike is helene
back once again and i have soooo much praise
okay the first thing was the immediate detail in the pistol on the ground amazing
i dunno if it was intentional or was even there but the slight shake in the camera is masterful considering the situation
pierre casting off his shoes reminds me of him in the book towards the end
the shot of him holding the gun and the camera moving to make it seem like he’s shooting himself because that duel was the start of his arch that essentially killed his old self aaaa
OH MY GOD HIM AT HIS FATHERS BEDSIDE WHEN HE DIES AND THEN HELENE ON PRETENDING AND PREPOSTEROUS I LOVE THIS ANIMATIC
god and when it turns from pierre to natasha leaning on the balcony because they both go through so much change and end up as a pair please having read war and peace i can appreciate so much more now
STOPPPP NOT ANDREI AND HIS WOUND AND WHEN HE WOKE UP TO SEE NATASHA IM AAAAA
oh my lord his whole rampage was in such conglomeration with the music it accentuated it so beautifully
god how it flashed through the characters on the held “love” ending with pierre falling into his angry desire to finally fall in love as memories of his past life he’s ashamed of pass through his head UGH i love this animatic i love the final shot of him coming to the realization that he can only wake up by enacting it himself
UHM SO THIS IS REALLY LONG SORRY BUT THIS ANIMATIC IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE THE CHARACTER DESIGN THE FLOW THE SCENERY THE EXPRESSIONS ITS SPECTACULAR AND EVEN MORE SO THAT IVE READ WAR AND PEACE YOURE AMAZING
"pierre's really bad awful no good hangover" PLEASE IM CRYING
😎
A great comet animatic in my 2021???? It's more likely than you think
Okay so I read War and Peace during the latter half of last year, and although I didn’t enjoy it, finding all the references to the book in this was a lot of fun. A truly stunning animatic and I have watched it many times since you posted it
WOWOWOWOWOWWOWOWWOW THIS IS SO FUCKING AMAZING!!!! I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU'RE STYLE AND YOUR CHARACTER DESIGNS AND ALL THE EMOTION AND FLUIDNESS OF EVERYTHING I JUST- I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS. THANK YOU FOR BLESSING US WITH THIS ART 🥺❤ (also I must say, those fucking subtitles i was cackling😭)
Hi, sorry, small thing, I LOVE your custom captions. Its so rare somebody actually puts work into those, and I really appreciate that.
thank you, I very much enjoy doing them ^^
YESS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS DONE SUCH JUSTICE MY GOD!!! THE EXPRESSIONS THE MOVEMENT- THE HANDS???? FANTASTIC
Ok I'm sorry who gave you the audacity to be this talented. I LOVE THIS, the scenes from w&p, the cAPtIOns, that end, your art style, transitions, shading, Pierre character's design and overall view. You deserve nice things in life. And the fact that art like this encourages people to listen to/read the masterpieces that are the great comet and w&p!!!!!! just..... Ughh I love you, thank you so much.
Lmao the captions-
first saw the thumbnail for this on artfol and i finally got to watch it. Im glad I did because I am absolutely blown away by your crazy angle changes. It really didn’t feel like i was watching just 2d drawings at points!
And like others have said, your designs for the characters are so strong. I especially love how pierre is a mix of dave malloy and josh. Thank you for blessing this fandom with such a masterpiece 🙏🙏
Edit: OMFG TO ADD, IT JUST KEPT GETTING BETTER AND BETTER SHEESH.
WOW! There is so much energy and care here! The dynamic nature of your transitions and scenery in accordance to the characters emotions! This is fantastic! I am phenomenally impressed with your work here!
thank you!
OH THIS IS GORGEOUS 🥹💖💖 you’ve captured the song’s emotional core so well!! Involving the other characters in here is genius, and your style looks truly effortless
The subtitles are a masterpiece
Also, loved this animatic :))
HOW DID THIS NOT SHOW UP IN MY RECS
It's very detailed and I love the captions and your designs!!
references to the book :0
aww thank you! book references - 90% of motivation right there 〒▽〒b
Simply gorgeous you can feel the passion and raw emotion throughout the movement, lighting and facial expressions
pierre looks like a bear
I read Dust and Ashes in the thumbnail as Do the Dishes and felt the need to share it so yeah
did you do the dishes tho
I'm crying this is so beautiful!!! This song already makes me go through the five stages of grief but your animation enhances its powerful parts so amazingly. Also the values are top tier, you set the atmosphere perfectly, and I adore this design of Pierre
awww thank you for the lovely comment :>
BRUH your art and editing seem to get better with every new video!! I'm so hyped for the next one every time!
Dawwww thank you (╥﹏╥)
OH MY GODDDDDDD why have I only seen this NOW !? LOVE IT LOVE IT
glad you enjoy :)
OH MY GOD THIS IS JUST PERFECT!!!!!!!!!I'M READY TO REVIEW THIS A MILLION TIMES!!! 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲 😳 😳 😳 😳 😳 😳 😳 😳 😳
😭😭😭😳😳😳
I loved this animatic so much!! As someone who is almost finishing the book, it is so magical seeing Pierre's past moments! I loved the different perspectives and camera angles! This song is so long and emotional, it must have been hard to put it together and you did such a marbelous job!! :)
thank you so much! glad it resonated with the book ^^
Absolutely beautiful work, especially the lighting! Love this show
I did a search for the great comet animatics since I recently fell in love with the musical again and started reading the book and wow!! Your art is so amazing and emotive, and I love recognizing where you included the book (from what I’ve read so far) :)
THIS IS SO ??? GOOD ????
it's so good! I really hope Dave sees this
This made me emotional ;--; this is so good!!
oh my God........ I love Pierre.......
Do i know this musical? No. But it doesn't matter because it's beautiful
This is so beautifully and creatively done! I love the links to different points in the story and different characters. I love the variety of shots and angles and the environments and how urgently Pierre moves through them to match the rush of the music and his emotions. Thank you so, so much for posting!!
thank you so much for enjoying!

THE CAPTIONS AT THE BEGINNING LOL
This is so amazing! Your art really matches up with the emotion in the song, I love it + Pierre's design. Keep up the cool stuff dude 👏
Ok so this whole thing is amazing, but I made the mistake of trying to take a drink of water right when he reached the last "up" and the caption nearly made me choke
