This is my first animatic! I hope you like it, I’m very proud of it. Also, the wired homosexual tension wasn’t intentional, but the lotus behind Polites’s ear was.
HOLY CRAP! polythemus GRABBING POLITES!! ive seen onces where they grab odysseus BUT NEVER HIM THAT MAKES ODYS WORDS SO DIFFERENT! then he drops him AND EURY RUNS TO CATCH HIM MY HEART! also the boop at the beginning is cute
@samlikesrats9518 For some reason I always imagined it being a crew mate (Polites just adds a visual moral dilemma, it's why he hesitates to shoot Polyphemus when he has the chance), because it sounds like Odysseus is bargaining but he doesn't sound afraid enough for it to be his own life in danger. I also thought it would be a good way to realistically show Eury, Polites, and Ody's friendship. ❤️ Thank you so much, it means a lot
WOW, i love how protective you made them of polites & esp how polites hesitates to shoot the cyclops, even at the risk of his own life - this is now one of my fave animatics for sure! great job!!
The pain you can hear in Polyphemus' voice is so heartbreaking. And him holding the poor sheep! 😭 Honestly, I can't say that I wouldn't have done the same thing in his place (not the cannibalism part).
This is so cool. I love the little unique design choices you made for Polites and the cyclops. And the way you made the story progress with the little interactions between these three best friends. A sad "no wonder" Polites was targeted later. Seriously, if you enjoyed doing this, please do more.
Great Animatic! I love the detail of how Ody adds the Lotus to the wine and how Polites is the one who shoots the sheep and gets picked up- it really adds to the tension and it makes Ody's quick thinking more understandable. I like how Polites lowers the bow when it seems to be going towards negotiation. Eudys expressions (indeed all the characters) were particularly good, I really get a sense of how these are three old friends. How the camera goes to the dead sheep when Ody mentions that this can end without bloodshed is awesome too. Only (mild) criticism is that the other shipmates don't appear and I don't get a good idea of the geography of the cave. Really enjoyed this! Going to check out what else you made!
@benlewis4241 I'm terrible at backgrounds (working on it) and about halfway through making this I had the thought of "Oh shit I forgot the REST of the crew... welp... to late now!" Thank you for your kind words!! I'll work on improving in my next one
Oh,this animatic portrays them like the three precious caring beans they are. I sure hope they all make it out safe and sound and they survive and live happily ever after. Sobbing
Мне так нравится смотреть, как Эврилох заботиться о Полите. Просто такие милашки оба, я не могу 💕 I love watching Eurylochus take care of Polites. They're both just so cute, I can't 💕
