Sincerely, Me || Dear Evan Hansen Animatic 

hello! I started my own series and you can now read it on my tumblr and webtoon! :3 www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/hybrid-heroes/list?title_no=910965 www.tumblr.com/hybridheroes

“Dear Connor Murphy, yes I also miss our talks!” *L I E S*

Teacher: What are you grinning about? Me: Nothing My Brain: KiNkY

What frustrates me theist is that this song sounds so wholesome *out of context*

"all it takes is a little reinvention" very chilling knowing that evan literally reinvented everyones perception and the personality of connor

Why is everybody sleeping on “how to write sincerelehy”

I realized that everytime "Connor" lies in the emails he glitches and it's really sad.

You know "Dear Even Hansen" is the best anti-suicide play since anyone would be scared to think about how as an individual they could be recontextualized without their input or permission.

this animatic tricked a whole generation into thinking Dear Evan Hansen is just a wholesome musical about some friends sending each other emails

video is more than 2 years old... but like... *Szincerely*

Evan : pretending he was friends with Conner Ghost Conner: 👁👄👁

the first time i heard this song, i thought it was about two people who hated each other but they had to pretend to be friends and slowly became friends because of it now i know the sad truth

I love the detail where they say: 'the only man that I love is my dad' and they make faces, cuz in the book, both Connor and Evan's dad were like the worst person to them in their life (I think, I don't remember a lot about Connor's dad)

"The only man that I love is my dad" I just realized, Evan sings that too, even though his dad is gone. He's caught up in so many lies

"I rub my-" *smack* *"WhY wOuLd YoU wRiTe ThAt."*

Listening to this with no context is so wholesome, but with context it is horrifying.

This is pure, absolute comedy GOLD. The cold open misspelling sincerely. The text writing the lyrics in the background. Evan cutting off Jared by slamming the laptop shut with his broken arm. The seconds of awkward silence. The photoshop adding in details and moving the characters around. Evan slapping Jared with a laptop. "LI ES" in Evan's eyes when he says he misses their talks. The stock images. Evan dipping Connor and dropping him when he says they're not gay. Every detail is absolute comedy.

Them: “NOT BECAUSE WERE GAY, NO NOT BECAUSE WE’RE GAY” Fandom: we get it your gay calm down

Dear Evan Hasen Summary: Two teenage boys write fanfics of their dead classmate and become famous for it

A small detail that I love that I don't see anyone talk about is Evan looking kinda ashamed on one of the last "sincerely me" lines because throughout the musical he's not been sincere at all, he's been building a fake friendship with a dead person off a complete lie and this is just the icing on top of the cake, who knows if that's what szin was GOING for or maybe I'm looking too into it, but if that was what they were going for I really like it!!

The “miss your dearly” as Connor disappears back into the laptop sent chills for whatever reason. Amazing work on the animatic.

“Not because we’re gay!” *John Laurens cackles in the distance*

This changed my whole perspective on the song. With the beat it’s easy to think of it as a happy song, but in reality this is some fucked up shit that Evan feels guilty for but also wants it to be true.

It sounds so wholesome out of context and your animatic reflects that with that viewing in mind, but the subtle flickering of Conner and how Evan and Jared act before getting into it reflects the contextual horror of it all. Especially when you get to "re-in-ven-TION!" They're reinventing Connor's memory and putting words in his mouth. There's a line in the musical that was cut from the movie where Jared says about how Connor loved trees, and then was like "oh no, wait Evan, YOU loved trees". That line just cuts through all the bullshit and I love it

I probably laughed at angry glitching Connor at 1:11 way harder than I should; also, making the imaginary Connor interact with text and using laptop screen as framing device is a very nice touch

Conner has better hair than all of us. And that's a fact.

*w H Y W o u L d Y o U W R i t E t H a T?*

As someone who has never watched Dear Evan Hansen, I can confirm that this song sounded perfectly wholesome until I read the comments. Edit: As someone who watched Dear Evan Hansen immediately after watching this animatic, damn Edit 2: Oopsie now I'm obsessed Edit 3: 1 year later! Well. About a year. And, uh, I'm really into theatre now. I haven't thought about DEH in multiple months, but this showed back up in my recommended, and I remembered this comment! I may no longer be a fan, but I appreciate this musical, song and animatic so much. (Also I'm very much in danger of pitching headfirst back into my old Kleinsen obsession now) Thank you Szin, thank you everybody who liked / replied to this comment, and I apologise for getting so sentimental. Sincerely, Me

this entire video is so amazing, evan and connor being gay… “NO NOT BECAUSE WE’RE GAY” the facial expressions… all of the jokes are just so amazing.

Connor and Evan: “The only man that I love is...” *annoyed face* “...my dad”

"sincelery" "sin celery" so it's like... drugs?

Evan and Connor: Not because we're gay! Laurens and Hamilton: Yeah, we used to say the same thing.

I know this is old but this is still my favorite animatic. A lot of them I used to see, I didnt have a clue of the story, and just thought it was a fun song. It still is, but this is the first one that had me realizing that it wasnt ACTUALLY Connor. And thats when I looked into it more and fell in love with the story and the fandom.

Love how Evan slaps the laptop shut with his broken arm

evan: stop smoking drugs evan in his mind: we did it lads, addiction is no more

3:43 the fact you can just see Evans guilt gets my every time

the “Connor how high are you?” “like 5’8” killed me

The way Evan looks at Connor when he says "Miss you dearly" broke me.

Connor and Evan: “No, not because we’re gay!!” John Laurens: **slow claps in the background**

This was the animatic that introduced me to the play, at first I thought that the story was about two enemies forging fake emails to each other because their families were friends 😃

Respectfully, Connor in this anamatic is the only man I will ever love

i wish my friends would write me emails like that I wish my friends would write me emails *i wish my friends would talk to me* *Edit: Guys please stop I have better friends now and a girlfriend-*

“My sisters hot.” “What the hell.” “I’ll send you pictures of the most amazing trees.” “No.” “Why would you write that?” “Just trying to tell the truth.” -Original Broadway Cast

i love how jared is freaked out by connor jumping from the laptop and just joins them like nothing happened

This is gonna sound so messed up, Connor being dead and all. But dayum. Conner looks fine and fun to be around and that hair is SPOT ON

before knowing the plot: oh its just a cute song about a boy and his friend after knowing the plot: h o l y s h i t

I like how Conner keeps glitching. Mainly because he's not real. It's a cool detail, okay! ALRIIIIIIIIIIIIIITEEEE!

Me before knowing the context: DAMNN im vibin this sht forever Me after knowing the context: What the fu-

I'm just gonna ignore the plot and pretend this is the most happiest musical no deaths, no attempted suicide just two bros just being bros. (And that "Dude i'm proud of you" really makes me want to throw Evan out the window). Great animatic by the way!

“Dear Evan Hansen” the only musical that can make you cry about drug and sex jokes

Dear szin, This is great. Sincerely, me.

I freaking love the expressions they made when they said they only love their dad, because Conner doesn’t have a good relationship with his, and Evan doesn’t have one-

The fact that this musical exists should signal to adults that not being an adult doesn't mean you don't have "adult" problems. Gosh, I love this song. Edit: If the negatives were confusing. Basically, "Kids and teens can have 'adult' problems too"

This has to be the most creative Sincerely, Me animatic I've ever seen! I love the emphasis on Connor being a character of Evan's invention by putting him within the laptop, brought closer and closer to life with each faked email, until the caricature of the person becomes so big and convincing he _leaps_ out of the screen and becomes, for a moment, _real._ Until, of course, he isn't, and so he returns to the digital, fabricated world where he, a digital, fabricated version was created. Plus, the way it isn't shipping fuel and actually -- as another comment has mentioned -- shows Evan expressing signs of guilt and discomfort at what he's doing to the memory of a recently-deceased schoolmate. (I saw this in my subscriptions and I almost didn't click on it because I was so, _so_ tired of Sincerely, Me animatics that were nothing but Treebros.) And not to mention the little touches and add-ons (Evan slamming the laptop closed, the words being typed across the screen, the stock images floating by) that really made it all the better. Keep up the amazing work!

Two bros, chillin’ in a laptop right next to eachother but they’re not gay.

Back in my day this was the shit 🔥🔥🔥

3:03 “The only man that I love is my Dad” - Supposedly says the two kids with severe daddy issues.

No one: Literally No one: Still No one: Jared: KiNkY

The saddest part of the musical is that their friendship is one of the most wholesome i have seen, and its not real. So if you excuse me, i will go cry on the floor

I wonder what Connor and Evan’s friendship would actually be like tho- is there a possibility that if they became friends he wouldn’t have taken his life 🙊

Conner's ghost: What the hell are these guys doing

evan: smoking drugs jared: smoking drugs? evan: just fix it *yeets computer*

Teacher: what are you laughing at? Me: nothing My brain: Szin-cerely me

When a fan made animatic can do more than a live action film

1:05 “Conor how high are you?” “Like- 5’8…” Laughed so hard 😂

"Connor how high are you?" "…like 5'8." I died 😂

Things I freakin love about this - “sincerelehy” - the format in general is wow??? Never seen an animatic like that and I love it akdkskxj - 0:26 - HE GLITCHES ITS SO SYMBOLIC SHAKDJJSND - 1:12 - Att! Ten! Tion! - 1:56 is a mood - CTRL Z CTRL Z CTRL Z - 2:17 is a blessed tree bros moment - 2:45 he knows what he did wrong. - “bUt nOT becAusE wErE gaY” as they dance together anskkskdj - HE JUMPS OUT OF THE FUCKIN SCREEN - 3:20 - he glITCHES MORE - 3:43 you can see the guilt in his face snakkxksndnn - “meeeeeEEEEEEEE” also whomst the fuck dislike this

I listened to this song, and others from the musical, without really knowing the plot. I was so confused trying to piece things together. Like I was thinking this was some wholesome buddies and one of them died with Evan trying to keep his memory alive. But I was so confused on “If I could tell her” since I couldn’t figure out how that fit into this. I then fully learned the plot and Jesus Christ. One of the main characters, Connor, is actually in the play for like 20 minutes and then everything else is just Evan puppeting the spirit.

How is this better than the entire 2021 film?

We all know the real ship here: Evan and Mother Nature

"Connor how High are you?" "Like 5'8" *WHEEZE*

god this came out five years ago.........time flies qwq

I love Evan hoping into the screen when he starts writing emails back!! And the part where they spinnn and “Lies” in his eyes aaaaaa so good!!!!

Connor: *dies* Evan Hansen: REALITY CAN BE WHATEVER I WANT

this is the goofiest, “lightest”song in the musical, yet because you drew in those little melancholy shots of evan glancing to the side, every twinge of guilt that passes by, makes me wanna CRY amazing work

When I was watching the movie I whispered to my sister and said “if only any of this was true” and she started bursting out laughing saying “exactly!” 😂

0:03 If you pause really quickly, you can see a search result for ‘How to cut off your own hand’

“I gotta tell ya life without you has been *hard* “ “Hard?” “Has been *bad* “ “B a d?” “HAS BEEN *ROUGH* “ “k i n k y” *IF THIS AINT ME IN SCHOOL-*

I JUST REALIZED THERES A WHOLE OTHER MEANING TO “BELIEVE YOU CAN BE WHO YOU WANNA BE” BECAUSE THEY’RE COMPLETELY RECREATING CONNOR WHILE EVAN IS BECOMING WHO HE WANTS TO BE SJDKJSKJSKJSK

The way Connor says “the only man I love is my dad” you can tell he is totally lying 😂

The slamming of the laptop caught me off guard ☠️

The smoking crack part 10/10 the spelling of sincerely 11/10 the way Evan slams the laptop closed . . . . . 90000/100!!!!!!!!

2:05 Me before watching the musical: aww they are like online friends and he loves trees and wants to share them with him and I totally ship it After watching the musical: I feel cheated

YOURE A GENIUS THE GLITCH EFFECTS THE LOOKING THRU A COMPUTER SCREEN THE SUBTLE EMOTIONS ALL OF ITS PERFECT

My college animation professor showed this to us as an example of how to make a good animatic. He does this with every class.

I just realized..........the irony when they say "the only man that I love is my dad". (Evan's dad left early on, when he was about 5, and Connor and his dad fought *constantly* )

Heathers - Heather, Heather and Heather. Mean Girls - Regina, Gretchen and Karen. Hamilton - Angelica, Eliza and Peggy. Be more chill - Chloe, Brooke and Jenna. Dear Evan Hansen - Connor, Evan and Jared.

ngl the first time I saw this animatic was the thought of "Why did he has "lies" in 1:56 in his eyes??" Then after knowing what the story is about "oh... OH- 💀"

Dude the sad part is they couldve actually been really good friends if they tried 😭

It's all fun and games, until you remember, Connor's dead.

That laptop *s l a p* followed by the long pause KILLED me

"I rub my-" *slams computer* "what?" "W H Y W O U L D Y O U W R I T E T H A T ? ! ?"

i'm three years late... but this is literally the best Dear Evan Hansen video i have ever seen!! i love the musical so much and the way you captured this song and the thematic elements you used are just AMAZING!!! props to you for this beautiful piece of art

me before I knew anything about DEH: why do his eyes say "lies" me now: well damn-

CONNOR DANCING AROUND IS TOO CUTE BYE

I feel like Jared,Connor and Even could have actually been best friends.

Evan deserves so much better. He described Connor as the best friend he always wanted, but was too anxious and nervous to talk to anybody. He even knew what he was doing wrong but did it anyways because he just didn’t want to be alone anymore. But then he realized he was hurting people and saw that he made a horrible decision. And that’s why I cry everytime I see anything DEH related 🤪

As someone who hasn't seen the musical, this whole song feels like a red flag. Catchy as hell, though.

So I tried to turn my volume down cause my parents were in the room and it came to the “i rub my” bit I accidentally tuRNED IT UP- Evan is a freaking life saver-

the way he just SLAPPED the laptop shut- I CAN'T-
