I love the way you have drawn them interacting, with each other and the mindscape around them. I adored the way you put Odysseus on a sort of elevated chess board with Athena as the actual player rather than the piece. Also the call backs to the way younger Odysseus handled the boar in the way current Odysseus leapt from pillar to pillar. Very fun.
This storyboard is such *chef's kiss* I would LOVE to see a finished project. because it gives such character to Athena being so detached as a goddess bent on putting feelings to the side would. I just--UGH, love it.
3:12 I loved the idea of Athena teaching war tactics to Odysseus as a literal chess game, not giving an identity to any of the pieces more than their figure's names, to then jump to the present and have Odysseus realize that the "King" he slayed with ease in the past has now not only a name (Astyanax - literally meaning "high king") but is also just a baby. Probably my favorite animatic on this song!!
Honestly, one of my favorite animatics for Warrior of The Mind! I love how you used the original song for a different scene and it fits so well! The movement and expressions are done so well and with many details. Your interpretation was amazing to watch
Wanted to comment below to say. I love what you added to all the other animations of this song. That story bit where present version having to watch on top of the baby parts.
this feels like if focalors didn't continue with her plan and ended up leading fontaine as herself, yet eventually driven insane by the prophecy and externalizes it by gradually lessening the value of human lives in her eyes. arlecchino which senses the gnosis in focalors also leads to her to settling it with less savoury ways. all in all truly amazing work!
I know everybody is saying this but this song before Just A Man hits so different. Also idk if this is what you meant at 2:54, but I love the Disney's Hercules "One Last Hope" vibes! Overall great animatic!
The baby was the son of hector(killer of Patroclus)who was going to seek revenge in the future and was going to kill Penelope and telamachus so Odysseus killed him
This whole thing is amazing! I love how you make it feel so grounded in different environments throughout the whole song, and the character acting is impeccable! Just the small interactions between Ody and Athena like her poking him with the arrow and him swiping it away are both creative and a great glance into their dynamic! Also you absolutely killed it with the fight choreo/movement in general, this was an absolute TREAT to watch and I can't wait to see more from you!
To start off I want to let you know I absolutely ADORE this animatic!!!! I can’t even begin to describe how brilliant the decision you made in putting this right before ‘just a man’ because oh my god???? THE MOVEMENT TOO!!! I love how fluid and kinetic you make everything (especially in the fight or running scenes!!) and I also love the detailed backgrounds!!!! Your Athena and Odysseus designs are also so so SO cool!! God I could gush about every detail in this animatic forever (from the transitions to the cool ass chess board scene to the boar!!!) you did an outstanding job, thank you so much for posting and making this!!! 💗💗💗💗
I think this may yet be my favorite animatic interpretationn of this song like, ever. When I first heard this I placed it right after just a man too. This is so great! I love how dynamic and fluid the scenes are, they're so animatic too. Great work!!!
