Jekyll & Hyde | Track 16: Alive | Animatic 

More Jekyll & Hyde to come!

Hey Edward what do you have there? A KNIFE NOOO!

Amazing. You've completely captured Hyde's insanity and euphoria, to the point where he is crying tears of joy. He is just reveling in everything he does. You were also spot on how sinister he can be with the confrontation with Lucy. Thank you for all the work you have put into making this. All of us were anticipating this and you delivered.

Hyde's two moods are dramatic teenage girl and self absorbed murderer. There is no in between

1:17 And so Hyde's pole dancing career began.

Considering what the streets of London were like during that time, he's a brave man to be going out barefoot.

Hyde: *Jumps off a building, breaks his ankles* Also Hyde: hhhhhhHHHAHAHAHAHA, YES!!!

I know he's supposed to be terrifying (and he is, I've never seen an animated Hyde that gave the creeps like this), but when he was bouncing around all that was going through my head was "FLOUNCE MY PRETTY, FLOUNCE!"

I like how Hyde’s face goes from shock at Lucy clocking him at 2:56 to “jokes on you, I’m into that shit!” at 2:57.

hyde needs the glasses just as much as jekyll but het decided thats not a part of his evil aesthetic

Hyde the British yandere strikes again.

I wonder what the people in the buildings thought about Hyde running around, and singing about being alive and about being Edward Hyde.

lol Hyde's poses got my thinking he's more dramatic than JoJos Bizzare Adventure.

Jekyll : No noticeable behavioral differences. Also Jekyll two minutes later : TONIGHT ILL PLUNDER HEAVEN BLIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lisa: Hey what do you want to eat? Hyde: The souls of the innocent.. Jekyll: A Bagle.. Hyde: Nooo!! Jekyll: Two bagles..

Hyde : *goes around screaming that he's a predator * See Hyde, this is why you've never been outside before

You can't hide from Hyde

I've been hoping... Dreaming... Praying... JUST FOR ONE CHANCE TO SEE HYDE POLEDANCE

the tears are a really nice touch. This song is just him in pure euphoria at his unyielded lust and freedom; for him to cry tears of joy after doing debaucherous things makes utter sense for the euphoric but insane character. The theatrics of his movements are also great, I too think he'd be quite the dramatic poser, one who'd continually touch himself because the sensations of the body would be just so intense he can't help himself. Keep up the great work!

In the original tell dr. Jekyll was praised for being and upstanding gentleman through and through. Intelligent with age and study he was truly admired. Yet he desired to release inner mischievous desires. And so he created a elixir that changed his appearance to someone more youthful and mischievous in appearance taking the name mr. Hyde. At first it was harmless pranks, fraternizing, rude behavior. By day the respectable dr. Jekyll and by night the fun loving mr. Hyde all with a drink of his concoction to change from one to the other. As time went on Hyde’s behavior became more erratic pushing harmless to violent. Seeing this change Jekyll decided to stop taking the elixir threatening to cut off Hyde. But after a while the temptation became too great taking it once more. After this Hyde’s existence became harder to control in that the transition between the two men started happening with out the help of the elixir.

So, in the book, Hyde is composed of all the things that Jekyll feels are his "Bad traits" that he must hide from the world to maintain his reputation. As we can see, his love for Lucy when he is engaged to Lisa Hyde expresses his love so much to the point he is violent. As Edward Hyde is parts of Henry Jekyll put together and exploited to create a full person. (My other theory is that because Hyde seems to be around the same age as Jekyll, possibly younger, is that Jekyll was equal in good and bad traits. Creating a balance, or an unbalance, I'm not too sure) So my theory. Is when Hyde states that "With Satan himself by my side" he shows a level of admiration in Satan. "Satan himself" is that there is only one, and no one else could be as sinister as Satan. Hyde being "Evil", and potentially a murderer most likely means sinister in a very well way. Because Hyde is a collection of traits Jekyll wants to keep away from the public eye, he uses Hyde to explore and break the rules. So my idea is that either Jekyll is a closeted Satanist or a closeted Athiest. He seems to show such lack in the faith he is proposed to have until "The wedding reception". Throughout Jekyll doesn't care if his experiments are orthodox or "Seen in the eyes of God." But because of his standing in society, he needs to be the best person to keep it up. That's where Hyde comes in. Unafraid of judgment and any social standing, because he stands in none. Since Hyde and Jekyll are at equal standpoints of the situation, its anyone's game for control. Not just Jekyll. And since Hyde is a bit of a controlling bitch, that's where Jekyll regrets his decision and tries to get rid of Hyde. Even though Hyde is pretty much just the other hidden half of himself. Sorry its so long, I really love your animations!

Never saw someone so touchy-feely with themselves, if that's the proper phrase.

this is strange but when I saw this video for the first time (also listening to the music for the first time) my heart started to beat hard and I felt the joy of Hyde in me. Of course he's a lunatic monster, but he loves life! he cries with emotion for being alive! maybe that's the only good thing about him. so let's all do like Hyde, let's go out barefoot on the street singing and thanking us for being alive! Make the most of your life because it is one! (without killing anyone of course hahaha)

Hyde has stolen my heart No seriously Call an ambulance There is blood everywhere

So great!!! I like a lot how Jekyll is in the reflection all like: what's happening?, that's not me!! And I actually never imagined Hyde cryimg tears of jot but coming to think of it, he's finally free and that was a great way to portrait it :D

In a way, he did live forever. We're still telling his story aren't we?

Mr Hyde looks plain drunk in some parts

Some guys just can't take the hint that no means no

I'm literally obsessed with your version of Hyde

Jekyll- “what do you have?” Hyde- “ a KNIFE!” Jekyll-“NO!!!”

(Looks out window) 1:17 (Slowly closes window)

01:24-01:32 What an idea! I like that you drew both Jekyll and Hyde in this scene! Love your works, keep it up! :) Hi and love from Hungary 😊 PS : I think I'm in love with your Hyde😳

WHY?!!?!? MUST YOU BE EVIL AND CUTE AT THE SAME TIME!?!?!?

I love Hyde's expressions and scruffy hair. Once again you've out done yourself with the addition of more backgrounds. Excellent job. Thank you for creating and sharing.

My heart was racing for Lucy. I was so scared for her and was yelling for her to escape!! Also how is Jekyll going to rbe act when he finds he has a weird injury

“I’ll plunder heaven blind steal from all the gods!” I just love that line

This is perfect, the motions, the pacing, the imagery. The sequence with him stalking Lucy was especially tense. Whenever I listen to this track, I find the length of time it takes to get back to singing is always awkward to listen to and visualise. Here, the tension is wracked up as he torments and gropes her. His manic poses and actions are also true to how I envision him as moving while singing. Bravo, bravo.

You don't see too many traditionally drawn animatics these days. It's nice to see here. :)

Am I a bad person for wanting to cry with Hyde over his freedom? Just looking at his pure joy over feeling alive, and knowing the lyrics meaning makes me want to chase with him!? You have given me a deeper love for the story and the musical. (I just order the original album and finish rereading the book)

3:36 I like how Hyde is crying tears of joy at this wonderful feeling of freedom

When you take three vitamin gummies instead of two:

OMG. Hyde is both an amazing and creepy character. You do an amazing job capturing his insanity, darling. I adore him, because you made him so overdramatize. Like in the beginning when you made him do poses with the beat!! ❤️❤️❤️ That was adorable! OMG!! Ugh!! This is why I get so happy and excited when you upload. You’re just an amazing artist/animator! As well as a person. Fantastical job, love! ❤️❤️😊😊

Every time I rewatch this, I always wonder where Hyde's hat went in between him meeting Lucy and him feeling Alive. Personally I think the wind might've blown it off or something?

Your art and Anthony Warlow's versions fit like a glove, gives me the chills everytime. Keep em comin' ^^

Hyde when he starts posing: Oh yeah the ladies love me Hyde at 0:28 : wait people are watching? Oh-

"With Satan himself by my side!" *Gestures to camera* I love it.

This song makes me want to cut of my long hair, dye it black, get a cape and top hat, and run around my neighborhood at night, and jump on cars and climb tree maybe throw so thing at people.

I love how you convey the mania of Hyde! I also love how a frightened Jekyll was trapped in Hyde’s reflection.

*Video starts* Hyde: *Aggressively poses*

*Deep Breath* YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

2:20 that purr gave me shivers. I thought my cat was about to attack me. But, this is the creepy thing.... My cat is named Edward.

I loved the tear of joy he had during the crescendo

2:00 I was listening to this while walking my dog. At night. Alone. I regret everything.

2:35 - WHEN THE HELL DID YOU GET A KNIFE, EDWARD?! Also, another wonderful job on an animatic. I love everytime a new one comes out. As well as "Dangerous Game", do you think you could do "No One Knows Who I Am"? It's such a beautiful yet sad solo of Lucy's and then there's a really cool bit at the end where (SPOILERS) you think you hear Jekyll come in to the room, but it turns out to be Hyde.

0:54 Hyde: *Jumps off building* _ROLL CREDITS_

current mood: watching this w/o audio bc u can't find ur headphones but you know the song so well you're just singing it in your head

This is my favorite song in the whole musical. I get goosebumps everytime I hear it. And you captured Hyde's sinister and crazy nature perfectly, this video is my little gem that I will cherish forever.

I love the look of Hyde in these animatics, he looks mostly normal, but there's something strange, almost profane or deformed about him

Definitely one of your best from this series. Not sure about anyone else, but I could feel the wild excitement Hyde had throughout the video. The last piece where he was staring dead-ahead was really haunting in a primal and beautiful way.

This honestly made it seem like... Everything felt a bit too sexual. I love it.

Does... Does the growling Hyde make anyone else get all flushed or am I just weird?

POV You're walking about London one late night when suddenly a strange man is heard screaming and singing about how hes alive, jumps off a roof, then starts pole dancing. What do you do?

*Deep inhale* AND IIIIIII FEEEEEL I'LL LIVE ON FOREVER WITH SATAN HIMSELF BY MY SIDE AND IIIIIIII'LL SHOW THE WORLD THAT TONIGHT AND FOREVER THE NAME TO REMEMBER'S THE NAME EDWARD HYYYYYYYYYYYDE

2:20, I don't know why, but hearing this purr just made me let out a big fan girl scream-

Please do as many Jekyll and Hyde songs as you can!

Hear me out. Jekyll and Hyde, but werewolf transformation.

You know, if being evil would fix my eyes, I would definitely give it a try.

3:42 Does he love Lucy or Satan??? Cus that pose got me thinkin’

Now that I think about it that psychotic look that Hyde gave Jekyll must have scared Jekyll to the point where he won't get in Hyde's way

in the begging where Hyde was doing poses I was like you👏are👏not👏in👏a👏photo👏shoot

Yeah he's a villain but this song is kind of motivating in a weird way.

Being that is my favorite musical makes it even better when coupled with this art. Bravo my friend bravo

I love your touch at 1:25 ! Beautiful! You can just see the terror on Henry. Like he's trapped in his own body, helplessly watching as Hyde goes on a rampage and there's nothing he can do. This is also just after he transformed, so i can imagen he must be so confused and terrefied!

I ZYOOMED AT THE SPEED OF SOUND

We need a jekyll and hyde musical film similar to Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd

Each one is even more amazing then the last!! This is one of my top songs on the musical and DANG did you bring it to life! My heart was racing during the meeting with Lucy, and I like how you added the injury, since that is what brings her to Jekyll and he finds out "Hyde" hurt Lucy.

Holy crap, the way it ended was eerie. It fits Hyde so damn well.

So creepy and crazy. Really enhances the song!

Genuinely excited for Dangerous Game though

I was looking forward to this video and it was worth every second

He has that ÓwÓ expression most of the time

I'm glad I was awake to see this.

3:36 | This part gives me chills, hiw it references "confrontation" it's just *smooch* chef's kiss 👌

Everytime Hyde lifts his shirt just a little bit I yell "SIR PUT THAT BACK ON-" but also "continue.... "

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES also omg he's so attractive like DAMN

3:26 this moment tho

Bruh I KNEW Hyde was giving me creepy vibes. I absolutely love the art and thanks to your animatics this is going to be added to my list of favorite musicals

This was really dramatic........ I love this so much, you did an amazing job. Keep up the amazing job

OML YES!! THIS IS MY FAV SONG FROM THE MUSICAL TOO!! Just.. 😖 THANK YOU FOR THIS

Ok but when he was crying in joy from feeling so alive why did it honestly hit different tho

0:19 that expression speaks to me. "Yep, gonna fuck this ham."

Okay this is the best alive animatic / animation that i have seen!

God, I love you S. K. Michels.

I nearly feel bad for how he ends up. Considering how much he loves life.

Alive? Oh no that’s not a fitting name. It’s called Hyde’s murder kink.

1:32 that look on Jekyll's face is like he's saying 'Oh god, what are you going to do now?!'

That's how you sleep at night, you don't touch anyone, and some weirdo is running around on the roofs at this time and yelling that HE is EDWARD HAAAAAAAAID

I can't help but sing and dance the song with him. What a partner!

Agh! So predatory in his movements! Like a wolf or a leopard! I love it!

If you hear a man purring, sniffing or a dude with a cape on a roof in Britain RUN
