SAME. Had no idea what Hadestown was about (I'm addicted now), but when Mr. Hermes said "If you turn around to make sure she's coming too then she goes back to Hadestown and there ain't nothing you can do," I immediately went "oh . . .OH NO."
Can I just say that I love how you've drawn the backgrounds as a mix of Ancient Greek and Modern American architecture? Like, railroad tracks supported by marble columns is exactly this show's aesthetic.
Okay, I can't be the only one who feels EXTREME narative dread from this, right? I mean, all the Rattians, who are discriminated against and partly alredy lost hope to ever archieve anything in theater, singing to Wendy, the only non-Rattian in the major roles that aren't narators, to "show the way so we can see, show the way the world can be" just naratively paints the picture of them hoping that Wendy can prove them wrong, and that the world can change. And Wendy, for all intents and purdposes, pretty much betrays them. In the musical number, she looks back. Betraying their hope of things beeing different and of getting out. I am extremly afraid that that point will be mirrored in the over all story, and that Wendy will have to make a choice sooner or later that will possibly lead to her naratively throwing Eugene under the bus.
@@friendwas0149 right? XD I also rewatched the other animatics, and Eugene and Wendy ending up seperated becouse of a choice Wendy makes, is a reocuring theme in most of them! -In Wicked, they get seperated becouse Wendy decides to not go with Eugene. -in Beetle Juice, Wendy literally pushes Eugene off the roof. -and than of course this one, where Wendy decides to look back and trapes Eugene in the underworld. If this is a coincidence, it's a really creepy one! XD
@@aniflowers1998 In the Waving Through a Window one too! It shows Wendy when the last "So I wait around for an answer to appear" line is sung, and Eugene reaches out for her, but Wendy walks away and Eugene is left alone and crying. I would never have noticed any of it if you hadn't pointed it out! I think it would be very cool if it is intentional foreshadowing, although if so I think it will just be a temporary setback and Wendy will ultimately do the right thing, because anything else seems very contrary to the tone of the series so far.
8 MINUTES ARE YOU COMPLETELY INSANE?? But omg that was one of the most amazing animatics I've ever seen. All of your characters look amazing, and I'm so invested in them
In my head, I like to think that the OCs were actually planning on doing the play as a version of the story where Orpheus succeeds, however, Wendy actually turns around on their own. Just a thought
I didn't have any intrest in Hadestown. I never really stepped outside or looked up any other musicals. But this! I can't wait what more musicals I can discover from your content!
the songs are also cut a lot for this animatic so if you listen to the actual things itll definitely hold a lot more emotional weight and be more complete
This is an awesome musical that will tear your heart out stomp on out for fun. I get snot bubbles from crying so hard. from wait for me reprise till the end.
I love the soul and emotion that Wendy is able to put into her singing, projecting her own personal life onto her musical performance. The cast being transformed into mannequins with hats, and the "she" from the song in her mind changes from Eugine to her mother(?). And when the ensemble comes out to sing "if she can do it, we can too"- they must have been directly pulling that from their desire to be in performing arts. Eugene is so inspiring to them all!! /Your story/ is so inspiring to /me/!!!!!! I'm so very invested in this story!!!
Oh my god I’m new to your works. But let me just say I finished watching all the oc animatics you have here (I have yet to educate myself of the lore of your OCs, the contexts, and settings though!) but I kid you not, you give me goosebumps with every piece. The organization? The animated sequences?? The expressions?? The connections between what I assume to be your OC’s inner thoughts and backgrounds? They’re insane. You’re insane. I am insane. I wish I could have discovered your channel before. Hadestown is my favorite musical, and I’m so astounded by this that I had to pause it at THAT scene and take a breather before continuing because I felt so immersed and overwhelmed with how good it is… TLDR: Thank you for your hard work..!
I never knew Hadestown told that old myth, but the secound I heard the conditions "He has to walk in the front, and she in the back" I knew what was comming. Doesn't make it hurt less though...
This is such a beautiful rendition of wait for me reprised and doubt comes in. Its such a great song for your story and plus hadestown is an amazing musical. I loved how you were able to portray the long road they had to travel. And the animation for the embrace and choreography was so gooood. This perfectly shows how Eugene has gained enough confidence in herself that she’s been able to trust herself and Wendy to full capacity. But Wendy is still struggling with power over her own life, and like Orpheus, its not that she doesnt trust Eugene, its more of she can’t fully trust herself after everything she’s been through. After being told what to do for so long, she’s so scared of loosing everything she loves, especially when she’s only starting to find herself and what makes her happy.
My last comment got deleted so I'll try to make it more "family friendly" Holy... That raw emotion on display was illustrated beautifully! And this is an amazing watch for someone who knows the ancient Greek story but hasn't seen Hades Town because you know the absolute gut-punch is coming but it keeps up the suspense the whole time through the movements, Oh my [-] this is amazing! And then the part where you see a semi flashback to the real Wendy where she's questioning "why would he let me win?" So freaking amazing! Also I love that they included the ratian actors from the highschool to play as the people trapped in Hades Town
(Though I am sad that ratians are only getting the rolls of evil/repressed people) I should clarify I'm not mad at you just the people in the cannon universe who are doing this to them(though they are making humongous strides with each production)
if im gonna be honest this just screams how much Wendy was planing to distance herself from Eugene bc of her father and her mindset and how Eugene is willing to always be there for her id say this is probably the biggest part of the story being told.
I think this really highlights Wendy’s situation, especially in the latest chapter. She doesn’t realize just how much influence she has on others and their opinions. So when she did that to Eugene, and to an extent the other Ratians, she was too shortsighted to understand the real ramifications on a larger scale.
Well HOT damn this was interesting this time around. Unlike Beetlejuice I never heard any song from Hadestown so this was new territory. But I gotta say I loved the songs and it’s another smash hit from you Rambu, absolutely fantastic.
THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AT THE END ABSOLUTELY KILLED ME NOO😭😭 also wendy loreee im excited to see whats going on with her family!!👁👁✨ This was so prettyy too your perspectice and poses never fail to amaze me and make me smile when i see them ^^❤💖✨ Also thank you for featuring my oc btw :"D💞
I’m not sure which one is yours, but they all looked amazing so yours was great :D 👍 Edit: nvm I checked the description and it was right there, I'm an idiot :')
I would like to point out ive listened to this video for the 2 years it has been out. I've found the original sound track for the musical and listened to it dozens of times, and no matter how many times i listen to these songs it never hits as much as it does when i watch your animatic. I know I'm only a viewer, and I know that it might not get seen by anyone but this animatic is amazing. Every watch is chill tingling, every time i see it it makes me wanna dance and sing out loud no matter who watches. I can't wait to see what you will do in the coming years
I like how you clearly show Orpheus’ emotional conflict and how you connected that to Wendy. It makes it believable when she turns around, and makes the final moment so much more of a gut punch. Great work!
The cinematography is unbelievable. I actually gasp with the ending. NO animatic has made me done that and I never even heard of Hadestown. U did an outstanding job with this one
The callback to 5:38 at 6:43 ! Chills! Literal chills!! The implications of what happened to Wendy's sister and mother is so wonderfully shown through that reoccuring action I just asdfghjk Again, I will forever be in awe of the way you blend 3D and 2D, the hanging lights add so much atmosphere! The twirl at 3:03 !!!!! I've been playing the entirety of 3:18 to 3:52 on loop, the ending of the camera zooming out to Wendy's horrified face PERFECTION
Came back after reading all of Pipers and watching Hadestown live...I love how many details of the production you included! (the costumes, Hades's office steps, the stairs to the doorway, the swinging lamps) and added a blend of 20s and Ancient Greek decor (the columns supporting the minecart/train track, the River Styx). And of course, we've got the Pipers movie in the works! So much exciting stuff!
This is THE best Wait For Me animatic AND best animatic on this channel, bar NONE. While the other animatics had specific moments that were the the best you’ve ever done, this one had amazing moment after amazing moment after amazing moment! 10/10, this is the best animatic I’ve ever seen in my time on UA-cam
IVE BEEN FIXATED OVER THIS ANIMATIC YESTERDAY FOR HOURS AT NIGHT o my god the ocs, the 3d affects, the background, the lore THE LORE Wendy has a mom!?? The emotions man… rambu why… THE SPIN(i will draw that) and the ocs I'm glad they got picked in kinda sad i didn't get picked lol but whatever atleast were all canon ✨ chills literal chills
Saying this is a 10/10 from you is underselling it, tears litteral tears down my face after watching it. The excellent use of the music and timing for the musicality to shine through, the facial acting is top notch and really sells the whole thing. You continue to impress using the setpiece of each of these musicals to really elevate the narrative of your story, expecially for Wendy in this one, the isolating nature of it all, and the sadness of betrayal she sees as she looks behind. But also using the broader themes of things change and stay the same... God I could keep going, but this is the best one yet, 13/10 fantastic stuff. I'm gonna go and rewatch/read the whole thing again my goodness
I love the part at 5:27 since its foreshadowing what happens in the webtoon a bit. Wendy starts to distance herself away from Eugene, and when she finally reaches out to Eugene, Wendy makes it worse, making Eugene spiral into depression, leaving the university all together. I feel as if this part is to show on how she looks back to how she distanced herself, before going to Eugene to try and fix what she had done wrong.
Since I have never listened or looked into Hadestown I didn’t know what was going to happen.And when I got to the ending,I wanted to cry- Love your animatics and you are such an amazing animator!💕✨
WOWIE whenever u post one of these musical animatics I think "this might be the best one yet" but it gets better and better each time 😭😭 the composition and the small bits of smooth animation in this one were so good, and the fact that u covered multiple songs instead of JUST doubt comes in rlly helped with building up the ending. Ive listened to hadestown sooo many times but the art and expressions in this video made me tear up. and the fact that it's not just a beautiful animatic for the musical but an effective way of telling ur ocs' stories?? the skill that takes!! keep up the amazing work I cant wait to see what else u make in the future
lordd the godlike expressions is tearing my heart apart like wrapping paper, this is so so beautiful, every single transition is perfect and the casting of each character fits like a glove regardless of gender Hadestown has a soft spot in my heart and I'm so happy I get to see it made into an animatic by you
I saw it with a friend and god i cant, the ending is killing me!! The wendy scene with her family after the comic and the way Eugene looks at her i just hope is not foreshadowing D,: It was truly a big honor to participate i have so many emotions right now, this animatic was such a rollercoaster beautiful work as always
oooh that bit in 3:44 where all the workers swap the same line is SO GOOD. The spin at the start is so smooth too! There are so many uniquely great moments, the whole animatic is downright brilliant!
I've rewatched this animatic so many times, and I still tear up every single time the Rattian students start the "show the way" chorus. And every time Wendy almost loses the flower. And every time Wendy looks back at Eugene. Always a comfort animatic!
The tension and emotions of the animatic were conveyed so well I got chills throughout the whole thing, I was especially blown away since Hadestown has an outstanding real life cast and you made these characters feel just as life-like. The effort you put behind not only your fantastic animatics but also the story and comics really shows and I absolutely can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.
This is SO AMAZING!!! The transition with the swinging lantern from on stage to their characters at 0:22, the dance at 3:37, the changing characters at 3:44, her expression at 8:02, just so many great moments that gave me chills🤩
This is truly sad. I was wondering how close to the original story we would get and it was dead on loyal to the old tale. It's sad, truly sad on how far her got and yet he failed the trial because he was so afraid. and it's heart wrenching at the last part when she says his name for that last time. I always wondered why this trial had to happen the way it did but man it sure did hurt because Love did not conquer death because Doubt crippled hope.
It’s basically a trust test like how much you really trust your partner and how powerful their love could be like how hades and persephone love once was… but idk that’s what I got out of it
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!! It’s here!! First off, may I say your art has improved so much from the Defying Gravity video, with the perspectives and everything!! I love the scenery of Hadestown and the part with Eurydice singing “I’m coming wait for me” which included the workers was genius and well animated. As a long time Hadestown fan I can say you captured the musical perfectly, even with cutting some of Wait For Me Reprise, and using Orpheus’s doubt of Hades to reflect Wendy’s doubts about herself and her father was a genius move!! It’s also nice to see some students from the Robert Grimm High School. This will be one of my favorite animatics for a long time!
WOOOOO YEAHHHHHH I may or may not have periodically been refreshing the page to see if it was uploaded through out the day and I'm so excited to watch!! Edit after watching it: OH my gosh it's so good!!!! The hug spin! The close up to the ratian ensemble where it switched between the faces! Eugene's hand reaching out then switching to Wendy's catching the poppy!!! The scene where it switched to Wendy's real family with the mannequins ooouughhh I love this all so much it's all so good!
OHHH MY GOD I’ve never listened to hadestown but I knew the myth and this animatic and song STILL made me root for them 😭😭😭 that bit in the beginning where they all get into character and then the bit in the end where Wendy breaks character is so powerful, and the fact that it still feeds into the final culmination of the story is!!! What Eugene said about actors being an ingredient for the play really makes so much sense
I don’t know the lore here but as a Hadestown animatic this insanely high quality, the atmosphere and everything is perfect. How at the end of Wait For Me II the woman as Orpheus was already starting to doubt (really makes it feel that final section was meant to be a duet if Orpheus believed) and the actual gasp moment was so heart dropping in the best way, it really sells the shock and impact of that moment, the emotion is firing on all cylinders.
I wanted to say something like "How dare people leave the like to view ratio so low what is wrong with people." but then i realized that the ratio is so low because the same people love it so much and keep watching it over and over and they cant like it more then once :-; thats so tragically beautiful... JUST LIKE THE VIDEO!
I truly cannot understand how every animatic you put out absolutely SLAPS. The emotions, the cinematography, the camera movement EVERYTHING IS SO AMAZING. Seriously you are so talented and I’m so grateful to have found this channel
Goodness. Gracious. A. I've been watching all of these animatics for HOURS and B I am TRAGICALLY late I don't know how in the whole world I could've missed such a spectacular series for so long... I don't know if anyone has pointed this out scrolling through the comments but I LOVE when Eugene and Wendy say "we can" and you can see that Eugene nods her brow furrows and she's so clearly digging her heels in and putting her faith into Wendy. And Wendy looks off to the side. And her shoulders drop. And it's clear right then and there how the rest of the animatic will go. I think that's GORGEOUS. And since I come from the future I can say that OH MY GOD. THESE PARALLELS. THEY'RE SO EASY TO CONNECT. Thank you Rambu
I haven't even watched hadestown but as soon as i heard hermes say eugene would have to walk behind, I realised that this was not gonna be a happy ending. And i felt so sad for the characters. It's amazing what an impact musical theatre can have on you and you've created those emotions perfectly. Well done
nah, cuz my heart broke when wendy's internal conflict came up midway as i was singing along to this 😳😭 on another note, tHAT 3D TRANSITION THO OMG YOU ALWAYS SURPRISE US AND GIVING US THE REAL KICKERS SWEET JESUS 🥺💖💜 GOOD JOB BOSS MANNNN 🌹
this is absolutely gorgeous and amazing! the spin and hug at 3:02 was so smooth, and that dramatic jump/spin at 3:36 with the miners was absolutely perfect-- and the 3d background around 4:00 really helps adds depth and shows just how lonely and empty wendy/orpheus feels-- and at 6:32 where it starts to show reality, outside the show- it gives me chills, it's absolutely amazing! i've loved all your videos with these two but this one is by far my favourite so far, keep going!! don't burn yourself out though. :)
when i saw the fact that this was 8 minutes long i had to sit back in my chair and let out a HUHHH??? HOW. i cant believe how beautiful this animatic is, ive rewatched the last scene so many times because it's so fucking jarring. you did an incredible job, this is my art motivation for the week lol. 7:25 and onward is so stunning!!
Disclaimer: I've been completely unaware of original Hadestown prior to watching this video (but I've read short summary as of now) This animatic made me experience one of the most cathartic moments in my life. The way Wendy just _turns_, a single frame, and I instantly realize the grave implications of it. It made me literally hold my breath. "Why the hell did the protagonist do this", "But of course the doubt was too much to handle", and finally "There is _no_return_ from this simple mistake" I applaud to this. This is what art is for, for moments like this. It's directed better than any movies I've ever watched.
The visuals were stellar. As an animator, when you make an animatic, the goal isn’t always to make the animation look fluid or clean, but to make creative visuals. Like swinging lights, or how Eurydice became the wind and saved Orpheus’s flower, or how Orpheus found Hades’s mannequin collection and the broken portrait. It’s the camera angles. The strong character poses, the concepts. And you always outdo yourself.
I seriously just can't get over how great the framing, the composition, the expressions, just everything about this is just too great! I'm still newish with plays in general, but you can just really feel all the expressions from everyone, even knowing them from the comics, it's just great seeing them all preform, especially all the Ratian! And that final scene! The looks and expressions on both of them was just so pristine!!
I've rewatched this more times than I can count, it's so heartbreakingly beautiful. It makes me want to perform it live so badly and reference your choreography, it's so cinematic and has so much personality. I love seeing the development of Wendy and Eugene's acting throughout the animatics as they pour themselves more into their characters. The final moments were absolutely shattering, in my heart I know they're just actors and characters but it genuinely brings me to tears to watch. And I love the stories behind adding more actors/characters to their stories. This is one of my favorite series of all time, and I love seeing the development of your art and how rapidly you're improving. As always, so excited for what comes next!
MMMMMM the facial expressions. Everything about your art is perfect for creating the environments you want, and the situation that kills the audience. It's phenomenal the camera angles and intentional use and (fantastic) breaks of art rules. You should be so proud. I really enjoyed the camera angle shift in a moment of fear. I also want to note for other actors, drawing on your own experience is good but it also is dangerous if done incorrectly in acting. You have to remember to keep yourself safe, otherwise you have to relive or experience for the first time emotions that you aren't ready for. I had a teacher who that actually had a panic attack everynight from getting himself to hyped in the play. Be present, be genuine, be committed, but don't be unsafe. Don't relish or worship anyone or method that praises danger in theatre.
You had one job Orpheus, ONE JOB! I love this story and all of the forms that it comes in. And no matter how many times I hear it I always hope that this time he will not look back.
you are SO INCREDIBLE AT STORY TELLING, just the way you’ve written your characters and how they interact with their passion and world IS SO AMAZINNNG it’s so incredibly clever that they are theatre kids and your animatics show that and how each play relates to their irl life i love it
hadestown is my favorite all time musical so i've been excited since the announcement!!! the transitions are so so well done, and it was awesome seeing fan ocs as the ensemble! my favorite part was at the very end of 'wait for me', where it pans down to wendy's expression - i felt my heart skip with dread even though i knew what was coming lol! great work!!!!
What a coincidence, I saw Hadestown for the first time less than a month ago and have been obsessed. This was beautiful, so faithful to the original work with your own animated spin and cinematography that's simply -chef's kiss-. I love the whole video, bar none, but I think my favorite parts had to be the transition between songs and the lights flashing to the beat followed by the camera swinging over the 3D train track to Wendy's back. The way you show her singing that special tune with such fear and trepidation, the way she cups her ear in the hopes she'll hear something back and barely restrains herself from turning around. Your expressions and character body language is so good, gives me such chills and anticipation. I love the webtoon, twitter updates, and these animatics so much. You're amazing!
This animatic is INCREDIBLE. This is actually how I found out about Hadestown, and it's become one of my favorite musicals. The art and music combination gives me CHILLS. I especially love the part where Euridice is leading the others in a chorus. I also love plot of this being a musical the characters are preforming, very cool. Amazing work!
Every time you release a new animatic I think there’s no way you can out do yourself and every time you prove me wrong. The amount of effort that goes into these is absolutely incredible!! They proceed to get better and better and I continue to be blown away by the skill, choreography, art, camera angles, and so much more. As someone who strives to be a storyboard artist, your animatics are some of the best storyboards I’ve ever seen in my life and the creativity of the story is unmatched!! One thing i love and your animatics is that it’s not a story about the song, but rather a story accompanied and enhanced by the song. The story completely drives it and the camera angles and composition make this so amazing!! Keep making incredible things!!💖💖
I’ve been listening to this video nonstop and it just clicked that Wendy says that she Used to think of what could be but now all she see is what is reality. That line makes me think that she use to think her and Eugene could have been true friends and change the perspective that the world has on them. But because of her father reminding her that she is only a tool Wendy is forced to see reality and the world her father is striving for.
Aaah this is so so good!! I love the way you show how he feels so isolated, Eurydice is very far behind and has a chorus of people with her, so she feels confident. But Orpheus has no one. I also love how he keeps taking quick glances to the side, almost looking but not quite. Also!! The people disappearing with the flower left behind is very spooky and cool. Final thing: Orpheus’s expression suddenly turning around was so good! Great job!
Although I’m a little upset my if wasn’t chosen, I can definitely see why. The designs were great and they more than deserved to be put into this wonderful animatic. Congrats to the winners and thank you for this amazing animatic :))
The final gasp for air followed by the deadly silent realization was colder then the coldest night in the coldest year, darker then the darkest hour in the darkest night. And I love it.
I’ve know idea who these ocs are but this animatic did an incredible job putting detail into character gestures and interactions to give them personality. Obsessed with the creativity of the scenes that aren’t in the musical itself, like the chairs and the boat. So impressive
Every time you make another animatic I'm stunned by your steady improvement and talent. The story is so amazing and you're basically telling two in one! The facial animations this time were the things I noticed were AMAZING. Not to say everything else isn't just that this was the golden nugget buried in a platinum plaque. Just so much raw, amazing emotion conveyed with your animation, and everyone's character absolutely shines through. Give yourself a round of applause I know I am giving you one. 10/10 I *can* wait to see what comes next, because I know with time it'll be just as fabulous.
This brought me to tears. The movement is so smooth and the shots are so well-composed to build up the suspense, such as the walk through the crowd at 6:57. Beautiful job.
I’d never listened to Hadestown until now and I think I’m obsessed. Not to mention the amazing visuals as usual! The transitions into characters using spotlights and the swinging lantern are so amazing!!!!
I don't know what's more impressive: your art or the amount of people in the comments that never heard of Hadestown. I always thought of it as at least mildly well known, not a Hamilton but at least a Be More Chill )I'm not a native English speaker
I just rewatch all the videos and then i leaned that there is a webtoon i might have spelled that wrong but now the videos make so much more sense like who the new characters are and when we see Wendy with her farther . I love this series
This was absolutely amazing! Congrats to the winners by the way as well as they looked amazing in this video. Bit of a break down of my thoughts if you don't mind reading: 1) Holy moly I was only expecting one song but you managed to merge at least four (maybe five?) From the musical. Very impressive! 2) I wasn't expecting the professor to be Hermes but that fits so well! And everyone does the roles given to them so well too. Kudos to that! 3) Need I say how amazing the setting looks? I was given a chance to see both the Broadway and off Broadway shows of this musical and I felt like I was back at those theaters watching it again when watching this. Amazing work! 4) The animation? Absolutely flawless! I can just see how much work was put into this with both 2D and 3D aspects of it! 5) *The*. *frickin*. *expressions*. Just *chef's kiss* spot on and well made to show everyone just how every character felt in every moment 6) And lastly, this is the last thing I swear, the small moments and little things throughout the animation. The small shots of the setting, the quick looks between the Ensemble and Eurydice, even Orpheus almost losing and eventually dropping the flower, all of it was amazing! You really out did yourself with this one, Rambu, and you should be quite proud with this and all you've done so far. Keep up this amazing and awesome story you are creating ❤️👍
So I didn't watch this Hadestown thing [it's a play/musical or something right? I'm a bit of a hikikomori so...] but I did know the original myth, the myth of someone going down to the underworld to retrieve their love and the way to do it would be to lead them out and not dare look back. in the myth the person looked back, they couldn't hear any footsteps behind them, but the person was there. Was right behind them and they looked back. I really hoped it wouldn't follow the myth so you can imagine the bit of heartache i felt when she turned. the sinking feeling at "it's you.../...it's me" Good on ya Rambu, the expression made it feel just a smidge too real ^~^
I dabbled in Hadestown a little, but never looked up the end because I never really wanted to know if Orpheus looked back in this version. But when I saw you'd done an animation for it, well, I had to wait a while before I was up for it but I'm so glad I did end up watching! You're incredible, as always!
I love what you did with Wendy how it shows that her feelings are both in real life and the play, I also like how it go’s back to what Eugene said in your comic how in the play the emotions are real to the characters and is recreated by real life experiences. Love that detail amazing as always.
First rule of a Greek tragedy: watch out for Zeus.
Second rule of a Greek Tragedy: don’t look back.
Didn’t know what Hades town was, heard the names orpheus and eurydice, immediately knew I was about to have a bad time.
You only need to know the name orpheus and you are gonna hava a bad time :D
SAME. Had no idea what Hadestown was about (I'm addicted now), but when Mr. Hermes said "If you turn around to make sure she's coming too then she goes back to Hadestown and there ain't nothing you can do," I immediately went "oh . . .OH NO."
Can I just say that I love how you've drawn the backgrounds as a mix of Ancient Greek and Modern American architecture? Like, railroad tracks supported by marble columns is exactly this show's aesthetic.
I think "Modern Industrial" is a better name for it than "Modern American", but yeah, its a really neat mix.
Yes you can say that
Okay, I can't be the only one who feels EXTREME narative dread from this, right?
I mean, all the Rattians, who are discriminated against and partly alredy lost hope to ever archieve anything in theater, singing to Wendy, the only non-Rattian in the major roles that aren't narators, to "show the way so we can see, show the way the world can be" just naratively paints the picture of them hoping that Wendy can prove them wrong, and that the world can change. And Wendy, for all intents and purdposes, pretty much betrays them. In the musical number, she looks back. Betraying their hope of things beeing different and of getting out.
I am extremly afraid that that point will be mirrored in the over all story, and that Wendy will have to make a choice sooner or later that will possibly lead to her naratively throwing Eugene under the bus.
As someone who has read the webtoon this pain also resonates within me
@@friendwas0149 right? XD
I also rewatched the other animatics, and Eugene and Wendy ending up seperated becouse of a choice Wendy makes, is a reocuring theme in most of them!
-In Wicked, they get seperated becouse Wendy decides to not go with Eugene.
-in Beetle Juice, Wendy literally pushes Eugene off the roof.
-and than of course this one, where Wendy decides to look back and trapes Eugene in the underworld.
If this is a coincidence, it's a really creepy one! XD
@@aniflowers1998 holy moly I never noticed that :o
@@aniflowers1998 In the Waving Through a Window one too! It shows Wendy when the last "So I wait around for an answer to appear" line is sung, and Eugene reaches out for her, but Wendy walks away and Eugene is left alone and crying.
I would never have noticed any of it if you hadn't pointed it out! I think it would be very cool if it is intentional foreshadowing, although if so I think it will just be a temporary setback and Wendy will ultimately do the right thing, because anything else seems very contrary to the tone of the series so far.
@@Luanna801 oh! good catch! I didn't notice that detail in Waving through a window!
8 MINUTES ARE YOU COMPLETELY INSANE?? But omg that was one of the most amazing animatics I've ever seen. All of your characters look amazing, and I'm so invested in them
Oh hi gigi!! Aaaa😭😭😭 I'm so glad that you enjoy it!
Wait so your telling Mr I've been watching an 8 min animation like 20 times and I haven't realized-
gigi?!?!?!! how are u here
OMG GIGI NO WAY!!! I LUV UR EPIC THE MUSICAL ANIMATICS AND SO MUCH MORE!
the swinging lantern is a very clever character transition
7:42 Omw the SHEER EMOTION on Eugene/Eurydice’s face and then on Wendy/Orpheus’ face hit my feels like a semi-truck. It’s heartbreaking 💔
The emotions on their face when I saw them felt like I got shot with a gun multiple times😢
Same, i screamed at the top of my lungs
I felt exactly the same thing. It's indescribable
In my head, I like to think that the OCs were actually planning on doing the play as a version of the story where Orpheus succeeds, however, Wendy actually turns around on their own. Just a thought
This literally gave chills down my spine and made me want to see Orpheus make it compared to when I listened to just the audio in the musical.
“Why go against the grain” “You’re bound, you’re bound, you’re bound to loose”
Hellooo? This lyrics are so perfect for those two???
When you don't know hadestown but know Greek mythology and see this coming 😭😭😭 absolutely beautiful work!
This mirrors a line in the show:
"...To know how it ends
And still begin to sing it again
As if it might turn out this time..."
NOOOO CUZ THAT IS LITERALLY MEEEE! THE MOMENT THE DOOR CAME AND SHE TURNED AROUND, I LITERALLY SHOUTED, "NO!"
I didn't have any intrest in Hadestown. I never really stepped outside or looked up any other musicals. But this! I can't wait what more musicals I can discover from your content!
I'm really the same way! Some of these musicals aren't the main stream stuff so it's fun to discover new stuff
the songs are also cut a lot for this animatic so if you listen to the actual things itll definitely hold a lot more emotional weight and be more complete
This is an awesome musical that will tear your heart out stomp on out for fun. I get snot bubbles from crying so hard. from wait for me reprise till the end.
If you’re someone who likes to get lost in the atmosphere of a fictional story I think you would really like hadestown!
Ala próxima uno de Hamilton!! 🥺🥺 Esperó por ese día!!!
I love the soul and emotion that Wendy is able to put into her singing, projecting her own personal life onto her musical performance. The cast being transformed into mannequins with hats, and the "she" from the song in her mind changes from Eugine to her mother(?).
And when the ensemble comes out to sing "if she can do it, we can too"- they must have been directly pulling that from their desire to be in performing arts. Eugene is so inspiring to them all!! /Your story/ is so inspiring to /me/!!!!!!
I'm so very invested in this story!!!
Oh my god I’m new to your works. But let me just say I finished watching all the oc animatics you have here (I have yet to educate myself of the lore of your OCs, the contexts, and settings though!) but I kid you not, you give me goosebumps with every piece.
The organization? The animated sequences?? The expressions?? The connections between what I assume to be your OC’s inner thoughts and backgrounds?
They’re insane. You’re insane. I am insane. I wish I could have discovered your channel before. Hadestown is my favorite musical, and I’m so astounded by this that I had to pause it at THAT scene and take a breather before continuing because I felt so immersed and overwhelmed with how good it is…
TLDR: Thank you for your hard work..!
I never knew Hadestown told that old myth, but the secound I heard the conditions "He has to walk in the front, and she in the back" I knew what was comming. Doesn't make it hurt less though...
"Lets tell it again... Maybe it will be different this time."
- The spin, omg the spin
This is such a beautiful rendition of wait for me reprised and doubt comes in. Its such a great song for your story and plus hadestown is an amazing musical. I loved how you were able to portray the long road they had to travel. And the animation for the embrace and choreography was so gooood. This perfectly shows how Eugene has gained enough confidence in herself that she’s been able to trust herself and Wendy to full capacity. But Wendy is still struggling with power over her own life, and like Orpheus, its not that she doesnt trust Eugene, its more of she can’t fully trust herself after everything she’s been through. After being told what to do for so long, she’s so scared of loosing everything she loves, especially when she’s only starting to find herself and what makes her happy.
My last comment got deleted so I'll try to make it more "family friendly"
Holy... That raw emotion on display was illustrated beautifully!
And this is an amazing watch for someone who knows the ancient Greek story but hasn't seen Hades Town because you know the absolute gut-punch is coming but it keeps up the suspense the whole time through the movements, Oh my [-] this is amazing!
And then the part where you see a semi flashback to the real Wendy where she's questioning "why would he let me win?" So freaking amazing!
Also I love that they included the ratian actors from the highschool to play as the people trapped in Hades Town
(Though I am sad that ratians are only getting the rolls of evil/repressed people)
I should clarify I'm not mad at you just the people in the cannon universe who are doing this to them(though they are making humongous strides with each production)
if im gonna be honest this just screams how much Wendy was planing to distance herself from Eugene bc of her father and her mindset and how Eugene is willing to always be there for her id say this is probably the biggest part of the story being told.
I just realized that up until this point Eugene had been typecasted as the villans or at least "bad people" in her roles until now
I think this really highlights Wendy’s situation, especially in the latest chapter. She doesn’t realize just how much influence she has on others and their opinions. So when she did that to Eugene, and to an extent the other Ratians, she was too shortsighted to understand the real ramifications on a larger scale.
A beautiful hugging twirl. Also was definitely not expecting more mouse eared cute looking characters. Did a good job and surprised me.
Well HOT damn this was interesting this time around. Unlike Beetlejuice I never heard any song from Hadestown so this was new territory. But I gotta say I loved the songs and it’s another smash hit from you Rambu, absolutely fantastic.
THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AT THE END ABSOLUTELY KILLED ME NOO😭😭 also wendy loreee im excited to see whats going on with her family!!👁👁✨
This was so prettyy too your perspectice and poses never fail to amaze me and make me smile when i see them ^^❤💖✨
Also thank you for featuring my oc btw :"D💞
I’m not sure which one is yours, but they all looked amazing so yours was great :D 👍
Edit: nvm I checked the description and it was right there, I'm an idiot :')
I would like to point out ive listened to this video for the 2 years it has been out. I've found the original sound track for the musical and listened to it dozens of times, and no matter how many times i listen to these songs it never hits as much as it does when i watch your animatic. I know I'm only a viewer, and I know that it might not get seen by anyone but this animatic is amazing. Every watch is chill tingling, every time i see it it makes me wanna dance and sing out loud no matter who watches. I can't wait to see what you will do in the coming years
I like how you clearly show Orpheus’ emotional conflict and how you connected that to Wendy. It makes it believable when she turns around, and makes the final moment so much more of a gut punch. Great work!
The cinematography is unbelievable. I actually gasp with the ending. NO animatic has made me done that and I never even heard of Hadestown. U did an outstanding job with this one
The callback to 5:38 at 6:43 ! Chills! Literal chills!! The implications of what happened to Wendy's sister and mother is so wonderfully shown through that reoccuring action I just asdfghjk
Again, I will forever be in awe of the way you blend 3D and 2D, the hanging lights add so much atmosphere! The twirl at 3:03 !!!!! I've been playing the entirety of 3:18 to 3:52 on loop, the ending of the camera zooming out to Wendy's horrified face PERFECTION
Came back after reading all of Pipers and watching Hadestown live...I love how many details of the production you included! (the costumes, Hades's office steps, the stairs to the doorway, the swinging lamps) and added a blend of 20s and Ancient Greek decor (the columns supporting the minecart/train track, the River Styx).
And of course, we've got the Pipers movie in the works! So much exciting stuff!
This is THE best Wait For Me animatic AND best animatic on this channel, bar NONE. While the other animatics had specific moments that were the the best you’ve ever done, this one had amazing moment after amazing moment after amazing moment! 10/10, this is the best animatic I’ve ever seen in my time on UA-cam
IVE BEEN FIXATED OVER THIS ANIMATIC YESTERDAY FOR HOURS AT NIGHT o my god the ocs, the 3d affects, the background, the lore THE LORE Wendy has a mom!?? The emotions man… rambu why… THE SPIN(i will draw that) and the ocs I'm glad they got picked in kinda sad i didn't get picked lol but whatever atleast were all canon ✨ chills literal chills
Saying this is a 10/10 from you is underselling it, tears litteral tears down my face after watching it. The excellent use of the music and timing for the musicality to shine through, the facial acting is top notch and really sells the whole thing. You continue to impress using the setpiece of each of these musicals to really elevate the narrative of your story, expecially for Wendy in this one, the isolating nature of it all, and the sadness of betrayal she sees as she looks behind. But also using the broader themes of things change and stay the same... God I could keep going, but this is the best one yet, 13/10 fantastic stuff. I'm gonna go and rewatch/read the whole thing again my goodness
I love the part at 5:27 since its foreshadowing what happens in the webtoon a bit. Wendy starts to distance herself away from Eugene, and when she finally reaches out to Eugene, Wendy makes it worse, making Eugene spiral into depression, leaving the university all together. I feel as if this part is to show on how she looks back to how she distanced herself, before going to Eugene to try and fix what she had done wrong.
God the way my heart dropped when they dropped the flower at the end! A masterpiece!
Since I have never listened or looked into Hadestown I didn’t know what was going to happen.And when I got to the ending,I wanted to cry-
Love your animatics and you are such an amazing animator!💕✨
WOWIE whenever u post one of these musical animatics I think "this might be the best one yet" but it gets better and better each time 😭😭 the composition and the small bits of smooth animation in this one were so good, and the fact that u covered multiple songs instead of JUST doubt comes in rlly helped with building up the ending. Ive listened to hadestown sooo many times but the art and expressions in this video made me tear up. and the fact that it's not just a beautiful animatic for the musical but an effective way of telling ur ocs' stories?? the skill that takes!! keep up the amazing work I cant wait to see what else u make in the future
That first sentence summarized my entire experience with this series until the Beetlejuice animatic lmaoooo
lordd the godlike expressions is tearing my heart apart like wrapping paper, this is so so beautiful, every single transition is perfect and the casting of each character fits like a glove regardless of gender
Hadestown has a soft spot in my heart and I'm so happy I get to see it made into an animatic by you
Even the original ancient Greek version was tragic enough & this made me feel even more sad than ever! Great video.
I saw it with a friend and god i cant, the ending is killing me!! The wendy scene with her family after the comic and the way Eugene looks at her i just hope is not foreshadowing D,:
It was truly a big honor to participate i have so many emotions right now, this animatic was such a rollercoaster beautiful work as always
oooh that bit in 3:44 where all the workers swap the same line is SO GOOD. The spin at the start is so smooth too! There are so many uniquely great moments, the whole animatic is downright brilliant!
I've rewatched this animatic so many times, and I still tear up every single time the Rattian students start the "show the way" chorus. And every time Wendy almost loses the flower. And every time Wendy looks back at Eugene. Always a comfort animatic!
The tension and emotions of the animatic were conveyed so well I got chills throughout the whole thing, I was especially blown away since Hadestown has an outstanding real life cast and you made these characters feel just as life-like. The effort you put behind not only your fantastic animatics but also the story and comics really shows and I absolutely can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.
This is SO AMAZING!!! The transition with the swinging lantern from on stage to their characters at 0:22, the dance at 3:37, the changing characters at 3:44, her expression at 8:02, just so many great moments that gave me chills🤩
YES THIS ^^ love the background during the starting sequence of doubt comes in
This is truly sad. I was wondering how close to the original story we would get and it was dead on loyal to the old tale. It's sad, truly sad on how far her got and yet he failed the trial because he was so afraid.
and it's heart wrenching at the last part when she says his name for that last time. I always wondered why this trial had to happen the way it did but man it sure did hurt because Love did not conquer death because Doubt crippled hope.
It’s basically a trust test like how much you really trust your partner and how powerful their love could be like how hades and persephone love once was… but idk that’s what I got out of it
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!! It’s here!! First off, may I say your art has improved so much from the Defying Gravity video, with the perspectives and everything!! I love the scenery of Hadestown and the part with Eurydice singing “I’m coming wait for me” which included the workers was genius and well animated. As a long time Hadestown fan I can say you captured the musical perfectly, even with cutting some of Wait For Me Reprise, and using Orpheus’s doubt of Hades to reflect Wendy’s doubts about herself and her father was a genius move!! It’s also nice to see some students from the Robert Grimm High School. This will be one of my favorite animatics for a long time!
WOOOOO YEAHHHHHH I may or may not have periodically been refreshing the page to see if it was uploaded through out the day and I'm so excited to watch!!
Edit after watching it: OH my gosh it's so good!!!! The hug spin! The close up to the ratian ensemble where it switched between the faces! Eugene's hand reaching out then switching to Wendy's catching the poppy!!! The scene where it switched to Wendy's real family with the mannequins ooouughhh I love this all so much it's all so good!
It's a sad song...
But we sing it anyway.
Beautifully done. You captured the amazingly hopeful heartbreak of the musical in so short a span.
'Cause here's the thing
To know how it ends
OHHH MY GOD I’ve never listened to hadestown but I knew the myth and this animatic and song STILL made me root for them 😭😭😭 that bit in the beginning where they all get into character and then the bit in the end where Wendy breaks character is so powerful, and the fact that it still feeds into the final culmination of the story is!!! What Eugene said about actors being an ingredient for the play really makes so much sense
I don’t know the lore here but as a Hadestown animatic this insanely high quality, the atmosphere and everything is perfect. How at the end of Wait For Me II the woman as Orpheus was already starting to doubt (really makes it feel that final section was meant to be a duet if Orpheus believed) and the actual gasp moment was so heart dropping in the best way, it really sells the shock and impact of that moment, the emotion is firing on all cylinders.
I wanted to say something like "How dare people leave the like to view ratio so low what is wrong with people." but then i realized that the ratio is so low because the same people love it so much and keep watching it over and over and they cant like it more then once :-; thats so tragically beautiful... JUST LIKE THE VIDEO!
I truly cannot understand how every animatic you put out absolutely SLAPS. The emotions, the cinematography, the camera movement EVERYTHING IS SO AMAZING. Seriously you are so talented and I’m so grateful to have found this channel
God the expression Wendy has when she turns around is HEARTBREAKING HOW DARE YOU
The double meanings you pick up on when you read the comics... Just fantastic!
My examples got deleted 6 different times
I just noticed how smooth the jump of the workers was, that had to be at least half the frames of Hermes, nice
Jump?
@@twist_ending7545 I think its at 3:38
Not me sobbing my little heart out at 2am over this
Goodness. Gracious. A. I've been watching all of these animatics for HOURS and B I am TRAGICALLY late I don't know how in the whole world I could've missed such a spectacular series for so long... I don't know if anyone has pointed this out scrolling through the comments but I LOVE when Eugene and Wendy say "we can" and you can see that Eugene nods her brow furrows and she's so clearly digging her heels in and putting her faith into Wendy. And Wendy looks off to the side. And her shoulders drop. And it's clear right then and there how the rest of the animatic will go. I think that's GORGEOUS. And since I come from the future I can say that OH MY GOD. THESE PARALLELS. THEY'RE SO EASY TO CONNECT. Thank you Rambu
I haven't even watched hadestown but as soon as i heard hermes say eugene would have to walk behind, I realised that this was not gonna be a happy ending. And i felt so sad for the characters. It's amazing what an impact musical theatre can have on you and you've created those emotions perfectly. Well done
My god. You really capture the moment where he turns around and your blood goes cold
nah, cuz my heart broke when wendy's internal conflict came up midway as i was singing along to this 😳😭 on another note, tHAT 3D TRANSITION THO OMG YOU ALWAYS SURPRISE US AND GIVING US THE REAL KICKERS SWEET JESUS 🥺💖💜 GOOD JOB BOSS MANNNN 🌹
this is absolutely gorgeous and amazing! the spin and hug at 3:02 was so smooth, and that dramatic jump/spin at 3:36 with the miners was absolutely perfect-- and the 3d background around 4:00 really helps adds depth and shows just how lonely and empty wendy/orpheus feels-- and at 6:32 where it starts to show reality, outside the show- it gives me chills, it's absolutely amazing! i've loved all your videos with these two but this one is by far my favourite so far, keep going!! don't burn yourself out though. :)
when i saw the fact that this was 8 minutes long i had to sit back in my chair and let out a HUHHH??? HOW. i cant believe how beautiful this animatic is, ive rewatched the last scene so many times because it's so fucking jarring. you did an incredible job, this is my art motivation for the week lol. 7:25 and onward is so stunning!!
Disclaimer: I've been completely unaware of original Hadestown prior to watching this video (but I've read short summary as of now)
This animatic made me experience one of the most cathartic moments in my life.
The way Wendy just _turns_, a single frame, and I instantly realize the grave implications of it.
It made me literally hold my breath.
"Why the hell did the protagonist do this", "But of course the doubt was too much to handle", and finally "There is _no_return_ from this simple mistake"
I applaud to this. This is what art is for, for moments like this. It's directed better than any movies I've ever watched.
The visuals were stellar. As an animator, when you make an animatic, the goal isn’t always to make the animation look fluid or clean, but to make creative visuals. Like swinging lights, or how Eurydice became the wind and saved Orpheus’s flower, or how Orpheus found Hades’s mannequin collection and the broken portrait. It’s the camera angles. The strong character poses, the concepts. And you always outdo yourself.
I seriously just can't get over how great the framing, the composition, the expressions, just everything about this is just too great! I'm still newish with plays in general, but you can just really feel all the expressions from everyone, even knowing them from the comics, it's just great seeing them all preform, especially all the Ratian! And that final scene! The looks and expressions on both of them was just so pristine!!
I've rewatched this more times than I can count, it's so heartbreakingly beautiful. It makes me want to perform it live so badly and reference your choreography, it's so cinematic and has so much personality. I love seeing the development of Wendy and Eugene's acting throughout the animatics as they pour themselves more into their characters. The final moments were absolutely shattering, in my heart I know they're just actors and characters but it genuinely brings me to tears to watch. And I love the stories behind adding more actors/characters to their stories. This is one of my favorite series of all time, and I love seeing the development of your art and how rapidly you're improving. As always, so excited for what comes next!
I'm genuinely amazed at how good everything looks and transitions. And it's 8 minutes worth of animatics too! Impressive
MMMMMM the facial expressions. Everything about your art is perfect for creating the environments you want, and the situation that kills the audience. It's phenomenal the camera angles and intentional use and (fantastic) breaks of art rules. You should be so proud. I really enjoyed the camera angle shift in a moment of fear.
I also want to note for other actors, drawing on your own experience is good but it also is dangerous if done incorrectly in acting. You have to remember to keep yourself safe, otherwise you have to relive or experience for the first time emotions that you aren't ready for. I had a teacher who that actually had a panic attack everynight from getting himself to hyped in the play. Be present, be genuine, be committed, but don't be unsafe. Don't relish or worship anyone or method that praises danger in theatre.
You had one job Orpheus, ONE JOB! I love this story and all of the forms that it comes in. And no matter how many times I hear it I always hope that this time he will not look back.
as I was watching this again I said out loud "I can't get over how good this artist actually is"
So yeah
I’ve come back to these animatics a few times now and these always give me chills. Freaking incredible work.
you are SO INCREDIBLE AT STORY TELLING, just the way you’ve written your characters and how they interact with their passion and world IS SO AMAZINNNG
it’s so incredibly clever that they are theatre kids and your animatics show that and how each play relates to their irl life i love it
hadestown is my favorite all time musical so i've been excited since the announcement!!! the transitions are so so well done, and it was awesome seeing fan ocs as the ensemble!
my favorite part was at the very end of 'wait for me', where it pans down to wendy's expression - i felt my heart skip with dread even though i knew what was coming lol! great work!!!!
This came out great! I love how the emotions were portrayed and how the transitions when they were replaced with the flower was really cool :D
What a coincidence, I saw Hadestown for the first time less than a month ago and have been obsessed. This was beautiful, so faithful to the original work with your own animated spin and cinematography that's simply -chef's kiss-.
I love the whole video, bar none, but I think my favorite parts had to be the transition between songs and the lights flashing to the beat followed by the camera swinging over the 3D train track to Wendy's back. The way you show her singing that special tune with such fear and trepidation, the way she cups her ear in the hopes she'll hear something back and barely restrains herself from turning around. Your expressions and character body language is so good, gives me such chills and anticipation.
I love the webtoon, twitter updates, and these animatics so much. You're amazing!
RAMBU THIS IS SO SO COOL!!! I LOVE THE WAY YOU INTEGRATED 3D IN SOME OF THE BGS AND AUAUGHTUHUTHGUHTGH UR ANIMATION STYLE IS JUST SO TASTEY
3:02 Why ain’t no one talkin bout how smooth this animation is?! Seriously, it’s stunning
i genuinely just started screaming "you better not turn around i swear" how did i get this invested.
This animatic is INCREDIBLE. This is actually how I found out about Hadestown, and it's become one of my favorite musicals. The art and music combination gives me CHILLS. I especially love the part where Euridice is leading the others in a chorus. I also love plot of this being a musical the characters are preforming, very cool. Amazing work!
YOOOO this was a wild ride to watch !!!! amazing as always
Every time you release a new animatic I think there’s no way you can out do yourself and every time you prove me wrong. The amount of effort that goes into these is absolutely incredible!! They proceed to get better and better and I continue to be blown away by the skill, choreography, art, camera angles, and so much more. As someone who strives to be a storyboard artist, your animatics are some of the best storyboards I’ve ever seen in my life and the creativity of the story is unmatched!!
One thing i love and your animatics is that it’s not a story about the song, but rather a story accompanied and enhanced by the song. The story completely drives it and the camera angles and composition make this so amazing!! Keep making incredible things!!💖💖
8:15 WAIT RAMBU INTRODUCED THE NEW CHARACTERS AT THE END__
I’ve been listening to this video nonstop and it just clicked that Wendy says that she Used to think of what could be but now all she see is what is reality. That line makes me think that she use to think her and Eugene could have been true friends and change the perspective that the world has on them. But because of her father reminding her that she is only a tool Wendy is forced to see reality and the world her father is striving for.
Aaah this is so so good!! I love the way you show how he feels so isolated, Eurydice is very far behind and has a chorus of people with her, so she feels confident. But Orpheus has no one. I also love how he keeps taking quick glances to the side, almost looking but not quite. Also!! The people disappearing with the flower left behind is very spooky and cool. Final thing: Orpheus’s expression suddenly turning around was so good! Great job!
Although I’m a little upset my if wasn’t chosen, I can definitely see why. The designs were great and they more than deserved to be put into this wonderful animatic. Congrats to the winners and thank you for this amazing animatic :))
And hey! Maybe this won't be the last time something like this happens. Who knows, maybe next time you could get in. Never say never.
@@riverwater1406 this cheered me up, thanks :D
The final gasp for air followed by the deadly silent realization was colder then the coldest night in the coldest year, darker then the darkest hour in the darkest night. And I love it.
THAT GAVE ME FUCKING CHILLS LIKE MY FINGER IS TREMBLING THINK OF IT
I’ve know idea who these ocs are but this animatic did an incredible job putting detail into character gestures and interactions to give them personality. Obsessed with the creativity of the scenes that aren’t in the musical itself, like the chairs and the boat. So impressive
when i saw the teaser for hadestown on your twitter, i was SO excited! you didn't disappoint!! agh! i love them so much.
WOOOOOOOAH THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! I love how you draw backgrounds and characters’ emotions
Every time you make another animatic I'm stunned by your steady improvement and talent. The story is so amazing and you're basically telling two in one! The facial animations this time were the things I noticed were AMAZING. Not to say everything else isn't just that this was the golden nugget buried in a platinum plaque. Just so much raw, amazing emotion conveyed with your animation, and everyone's character absolutely shines through. Give yourself a round of applause I know I am giving you one. 10/10 I *can* wait to see what comes next, because I know with time it'll be just as fabulous.
This brought me to tears. The movement is so smooth and the shots are so well-composed to build up the suspense, such as the walk through the crowd at 6:57. Beautiful job.
Man…. my stomach dropped at the end… what an amazing job, incredible, incredible, hats off for you
I’d never listened to Hadestown until now and I think I’m obsessed. Not to mention the amazing visuals as usual! The transitions into characters using spotlights and the swinging lantern are so amazing!!!!
I don't know what's more impressive: your art or the amount of people in the comments that never heard of Hadestown. I always thought of it as at least mildly well known, not a Hamilton but at least a Be More Chill
)I'm not a native English speaker
I just rewatch all the videos and then i leaned that there is a webtoon i might have spelled that wrong but now the videos make so much more sense like who the new characters are and when we see Wendy with her farther . I love this series
when u were 1 point away from passing that test-
This was absolutely amazing! Congrats to the winners by the way as well as they looked amazing in this video.
Bit of a break down of my thoughts if you don't mind reading:
1) Holy moly I was only expecting one song but you managed to merge at least four (maybe five?) From the musical. Very impressive!
2) I wasn't expecting the professor to be Hermes but that fits so well! And everyone does the roles given to them so well too. Kudos to that!
3) Need I say how amazing the setting looks? I was given a chance to see both the Broadway and off Broadway shows of this musical and I felt like I was back at those theaters watching it again when watching this. Amazing work!
4) The animation? Absolutely flawless! I can just see how much work was put into this with both 2D and 3D aspects of it!
5) *The*. *frickin*. *expressions*. Just *chef's kiss* spot on and well made to show everyone just how every character felt in every moment
6) And lastly, this is the last thing I swear, the small moments and little things throughout the animation. The small shots of the setting, the quick looks between the Ensemble and Eurydice, even Orpheus almost losing and eventually dropping the flower, all of it was amazing!
You really out did yourself with this one, Rambu, and you should be quite proud with this and all you've done so far.
Keep up this amazing and awesome story you are creating ❤️👍
So I didn't watch this Hadestown thing [it's a play/musical or something right? I'm a bit of a hikikomori so...] but I did know the original myth, the myth of someone going down to the underworld to retrieve their love and the way to do it would be to lead them out and not dare look back. in the myth the person looked back, they couldn't hear any footsteps behind them, but the person was there. Was right behind them and they looked back.
I really hoped it wouldn't follow the myth so you can imagine the bit of heartache i felt when she turned. the sinking feeling at "it's you.../...it's me"
Good on ya Rambu, the expression made it feel just a smidge too real ^~^
I dabbled in Hadestown a little, but never looked up the end because I never really wanted to know if Orpheus looked back in this version. But when I saw you'd done an animation for it, well, I had to wait a while before I was up for it but I'm so glad I did end up watching! You're incredible, as always!
I mean, right at the beginning, Hermes says, “it’s a sad song, but we sing it anyway.” That’s a pretty big clue as to how it ends.
At 3:02 omg their huggg😩❤️ and the emotions at the end!! I love this animatic! And i'm glad i get to discover musicals through your content❤️
I love what you did with Wendy how it shows that her feelings are both in real life and the play, I also like how it go’s back to what Eugene said in your comic how in the play the emotions are real to the characters and is recreated by real life experiences. Love that detail amazing as always.
