'Made of Stone' Animatic (The Hunchback of Notre Dame Musical)

  • This is my second animatic made out of passion for Disney's 'The Hunchback of Notre Dame' (1996) and its stage counterpart. This is a handful of animatics I was inspired to create a while ago (even though it is only now that I've started to share them), just in lite of the release of the musical cast recording. I was even further inspired to create them as is was just the time when the trend of Disney live-action remakes were starting to kick into high gear (long before the announcement of the 'Hunchback' remake was ever announced).
    Now I am of the general mindset that Disney live-action remakes are less often than not made with the right intentions. But 'Hunchback' has always been one that I could conceive of several reasons to justify the making of, and could picture several directions in which to take it. While I'm not sure if the eventual result will ultimately be worth all the effort, I am willing to be open-minded and cautiously optimistic. The animatics I've created were basically my own personal conception for how I would film a remake of 'Hunchback', adding some new elements into account, like Alan Menken's song rendition of Quasimodo's iconic line from the novel. I also tried envisioning how it could be done if going for the concept that the gargoyles and statuary are explicitly voices in Quasimodo's head.

    I was one of Quasimodo’s talking/singing statues when my high school did this show my sophomore year (we were one of the first high schools in the country to acquire the rights to perform it) and this was my favorite of the six scenes I was in (I didn’t have one of the three solos towards the end of it, but I did join in when all the statues sang, “We just thought you were made of something stronger”). You can really feel the pain in Quasimodo’s voice as he sings that last part of the song, especially when he belts out the G3 at the end of the song. Great job with this animation!

    This is my FAVOURITE song from the musical!!!!! The anger, the despair, the helplessness he was was feeling everything you captured so well. The water effects were awesome too. The way you drew him shackled is beautiful. Everything about this is perfect ❤️❤️❤️. Maybe if you have time you'll do the Finale next?

      Part of me does like to imagine what it would be like if one of my animatics got enough views to inspire an animator (or even a team of animators) to make one of my animatics into a fully-fledged animated sequence, like how there was that one case with an animator who did a UA-cam rendering of Scar's confrontation with Nala from the Lion King musical. (Or even better yet, have a newly-added animated scene to a future home-media release of the movie based on a song from the musical, like Beauty and the Beast did with 'Human Again'.)

    Damn this is really really good, seriously it's crazy how well you matched the original style of the animation to this song! Poor Quasimodo, also wtf Gargoyles? "We just thought that you were made of something... stronger." Way to kick a guy when he's down! Lol, but I mean I get it he did kinda tell them all to fuck off and I guess it was one of those "tough love" situations but... damn, what a thing to say to a dude who's already having an emotional breakdown.

  • @sgauden02
    @sgauden02 3 роки тому +1

    In your opinion, where does this song fit in better? Before or after the song "Someday"?

    • @jacobbelow
      @jacobbelow  3 роки тому +2

      In my honest opinion, I think the song is a better fit before "Someday". In that manner, it really gives you the sensation that Quasimodo has just given up and shut down, and that there's no one who can save Esmerelda. And when he finally snaps out of his torpor, it's not words of encouragement that does it, but just his undying love and devotion to Esmerelda that ultimately nothing can crush. It just comes back as more impactful in the climax.
      And as it so happens, Dinsey's earliest stage adaptation of Hunchback (Der Glöckner von Notre Dame, which ran in Berlin from 1999-2002) does put "Someday" after "Made of Stone" as the 11 o'clock number. Both songs are worth a listen for their arrangements and orchestrations that differ from their modern iterations, like this one for "Made of Stone": ua-cam.com/video/o8FoEguD7E0/v-deo.html.
      As for "Someday", the version in that one is longer and has a more anthemic feel, as it is set to Esmerelda being marched to here execution: ua-cam.com/video/qLwb76AYgJE/v-deo.html Not that I think less of the modern versions, but the original Berlin ones are just so beautiful and powerful to me!

    • @sgauden02
      @sgauden02 3 роки тому +1

      ​@@jacobbelow Yes, I've seen the German version of the musical here on UA-cam. They do sing "Someday" as Esmerelda is led to her execution in that version. And I do agree with you. "Someday" is more impactful if "Made Of Stone" takes place before it. If that live action Hunchback Of Notre Dame ever gets here, it'd be nice if they included both songs.

    • @jacobbelow
      @jacobbelow  3 роки тому

      @@sgauden02 It would be nice. I always envisioned that they do the anthemic version of "Someday" with Esmerelda, Phoebus, and the Romanees all being led to Notre Dame square, in a march that strongly resembles the way they used "I Know Where I've Been" in the film version of 'Hairspray'.
      Unfortunately, the news involving the remake said that it likely wasn't going to be using material from the stage versions. But I hope they don't entirely rule out the possibility. If nothing else, they could do a cover of the songs from the musical(s) as promotion for the remake.
