Leave Luanne [A 35 MM Animatic] 

I like to think Luanne was probably offered peace in Heaven but she looked God directly in the eyes and said "thanks for the offer but send me back down there so I can haunt the Hell out of that bastard"

Huh. I always read the whole "dog's got out" bit as "Oh, whoops, there goes the dog, let me chase after him for you!", the other interpretation didn't occur to me til now lol.

Oooh, the detail of him putting his ash tray on her bible makes me wanna *REEEEEEE*

She didn't deserve what happened to her. But she taught that basted of hell of a lesson. He did deserve what happened to him.

Honestly, the smirk in the end scene always gives me satisfaction. He got what was coming for him and the fact that she was the one to deliver this justice is just so damn good. Gorgeous art style and I'm especially enamoured by the way you draw mouths. So expressive and yet so simple. And her eyes! So hopeful and yet so pained.

I really like the how unique this is! From the dog to the way her husband clearly DROWNED her! It makes sense she was drowned because that was his cover story, so she couldn't have too many suspicious cuts and bruises she, very obviously, wouldn't have gotten from the trip to the bank.

Okay but tye part where Luanne opens the floor- the whole video is amazing 😭

Omg so good! This has got to be my favorite one so for this song. I really love the editing, like the pans and zooms were right in place, and the ending was really satisfiyng

Gonna be honest I never understood why or how he got to the bank faster until you showed his truck and I've listened to this song about 5 times before seeing this animatic

when dead luanne opened her eyes- and the slow zoom in- chills literal chills

This is absolutely gorgeous! The character designs, the little bits of animation, don’t even get me started on the backgrounds- honestly this is amazing. You’ve got big respect for some of that background work- From one Luanne animator to another, amazing work :D

The first time I heard this song, at the "so she plucks the kitchen cleaver" I totally thought she was going to kill him One of the best animatics I've seen!!

Luanne’s ghost is making sure he never has a cold side to his pillow

I like how her husband throws the picture frame of him and her like that’s gonna do anything. And down to hell they both go

Oh my God!!! I love this video. I love the expression on Luanne’s face in every scene, and I love the motion when she gets away. It's just so good. What happened to Luanne is terrible and sad, of course, but the way you made it it’s just so incredible. Never stop creating!!!

i love their expressions so much 😭 Roses Roses for you 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

i love every aspect of this animatic. from the panicked look when the plates and cups were shaking(a sign that he has probably beat her over dropping things,) to her dragging him to hell and her being finally free. its amazing

This animation easily has the best symbolism and eviroments of them all, wonderful work!

I think this is a very well done animation and this should get a bunch more views than it has currently very well done

This is criminally underrated

This will make a fine addition to my collection of animatics

Chilling, a spectacukar animatic

This is such clean animation and it’s so amazingly done!! Good job I absolutely love it!!

I honestly think this one fits the end of the song better than some of the other videos, and the style is amazing, the only thing I wish is that it was a full animation.

This is one of my favorite leave Luanne animatics! There’s so much detail

I've listened to this song several times and I've watched dozen of cinematics. However, your video manage to capture that pinnacle point of the song: Luanne finding hope when she ran away. I just love,love how you put those dynamic movements and change of scenery. It really feels that she is no longer locked in her house but exploring the world in her own terms. It made me happy for her. And it also gave me a sense of hope. And then came 4:22 and I remembered we still have five minutes left in the song. Man, with this quality, this video deserves more views than what is given.

THE CAJUN: Luanne's fat lip is dryin' The bastard's bacon fryin' The shiner 'round her eye's Gone bust and bleeding He shouts, "Girl, set the table!" But he knows she ain't able- Her arm's done broke And limp like yoke And softly she's repeating "Leave, Luanne Why don't you march out that door?" Southern woman, he ain't no good to you Leave, Luanne Louisiana wants war But it's you dying on her ruby plains And yet loyal Luanne remains Ever since he got him laid off His sanity just made off No, he was never nice But now he's cruel He rapes her And he beats her She don't ‘fess how he treats her ‘Cause a Bible verse says it won't get worse And she won't be a fool You won't never THE CAJUN & LES VOIX EN DESSOUS INTERMITTENTLY: Leave, Luanne ‘Cause if you walk out that door His truck will be gunnin' for you No, you won't Leave, Luanne Or he'll give you what for Ya got heart where you shoulda had brains And so loyal Luanne remains Someone's Howling Screams like sighing With battered breath (O-o-oh!) Grating Growling Never dying In a fate worse than death! But months of such conditions Turn laymen to logicians And tonight the bastard's sleeping like a log So she plucks the kitchen cleaver Creeps toward his roped up lab-retriever And she cuts the rope, and hope on hope She starts to shout "Your dog's got out!" She's got her chance With no back glance She runs out to the bog Screamin', screamin' "Leave, Luanne!" Leave, Luanne You got a life left to live In a house hangin' off the golden coast Leave, Luanne You won't forget nor forgive And she don't feel the stings and rips and scrapes As finally Luanne escapes [Instrumental] Swim, Luanne! Swim, Luanne! And in this swamp of leeches (oh!) As the preacher preaches As a light (as a light!) In the night (in the night!) Push through the marsh and brushes As the blood inside you rushes Left and right (left and right!) All your might (all your might!) Until ya reach the bank And ya crawl onto the bank ‘Til ya feel a little yank on your hair And stricken stare at the bastard Who beat you there The bastard lies in bed now Half sad his wife is dead now She drowned herself in the swamp In wild despair He thinks he used to love her But push, it came to shove her A wife disposed A life case closed And no one seems to care To grieve Luanne Now no one's on his shoulder But his mattress don't feel colder In fact it's hellish hot And the air is dank and steaming Yet his body starts to shiver When the window cracks a sliver And a fiery fog from the miry bog Pours in the room in a sticky gloom And there the man sees dead Luanne He's terrified But he keeps his pride Cause he know that he ain't dreaming And he starts screaming "Leave, Luanne! Hell sent y'all back here for more 'Cause ain't no one ever loved you!" But said Luanne "I come to settle a score," And she shows him her feet are bound in chains And loyal Luanne Remains And remains And remains And remains! Someone's Howling Screams like sighing With battered breath (o-o-oh!) Grating Growling Never dying In a fate worse than death! Luanne, she cries her miserable wail So the bastards will never sleep again No-no reprieve, Luanne She brings their souls down to hell A caution to the cruelest of men (A caution to the cruelest of)- God loves Luanne! Praise be! Amen!

Criminally underrated. Like holy shit, it’s just so good.

i absolutely adore how you draw Luannes hair!! /pos

Gurl why is this lacking likes. This is way more detailed than the others I've seen so far.

WOW that was powerful!! Impactful and purposeful animation and character movement flawlessly matched to a harrowing story and song!! The ending is extraordinarily satisfying. The chains shooting after the bastard... Amazing.

I love your art style so much! The ending was amazing. This has to be my favorite animatic for this song.

I remember watching your other videos but wow, I think your animation got even better

Who gave you the right to be so good?!

Amazing and beautiful!! Love how expressive your work is!!

Aaaaugh, this is INCREDIBLE. I got chills so many times, and the expressions, the action, the colors… When she’s caught again I almost teared up! This is an amazing piece of art, thank you so much for sharing your talent!

I really really love how you made the video, the character design, the art style, the litrle animated bits in between, the expressions, god that was: *chefs kiss*

I like the animatics of this where the dog shows up more but still great vid😁👍❤️

The run cycle had my jaw on the floor. Well done!

honestly the BEST leave Luanne I've seen so far I'm OBSESSED!!

Omg... thank you for this animatic its amazing!

This is the best animatic out here for this song! By far!!

This is beautiful!!

…Why the hex does this not have more views

im late to this but oh my god you did an amazing job!!! the characters are so expressive

So glad I came across this! It's so smooth, love it! X

I love the song and your animatic is absolutely fantastic, the motions are fluid and the way you represent the story of the song is great, though I wonder about the lyrics. If he was sleeping like a log, why did she let the dog loose and awakened him? Couldn't she just sneak off and THEN bolt? She would have more time to run before he awakened and noticed her absence. I'm probably overthinking a lot but this little detail just kinda bugs me.

This is amazing!!

This is awesome, amazing job!

God loves Luanne...😉

This was amazing! Never heard this song before but a friend sent this video to me and I was pleasantly surprised 😮 😲 😄

This was really good

Amazing

As someone who really struggles with drawing mouths, this helped a lot

wow you animation is so cool uwu

Holy carp this is underrated

Um, holy shit wow both the song and the video were amazing O.O!!!

This was so good, how did you get so good! :D

What about the dog? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE DOG!?

I thought she was gonna stab him and then I thought she was gonna stab the dog.

I THOUGHT SHE WAS GOING TO KILL THE DOG

very cinematic, good job

You cannot convince me the singer of The Party Goes With You wasn't in love with Luanne.

Awesome Artwork 😎 👏

This is sad and good!😭😭😭👍

For some reason she doesn’t steal his car keys while he’s sleeping? Like that’s what I would have done. Btw THIS WAS BEAUTIFUL!!! I loved it, this animatic gives me so much inspiration!

The end is my favorite part

When I heard she escaped I was like”YES!RUN,LUANNE,RUN!”but when I heard she die I was like”I mean it’s sad,but at least she free”but when she came back for revenge I was like”KILL ‘EM,GIRL!!!!!!!!”

I love this so much but I have one comment….. What happened to the dog 😭

3:33 end of the animatic alright everyone go home now song's over

2:45

This 😭 sad

Am I the only one who thought of Luane as a black women

My biggest question is if she knew that he would chase her with the car, why didn't she take it or least stab them with the knife before bolting? Even with the excuse of the dog, that would last a hour max. With a car she'd be caught anyway.

Amazing
