The majority of animatics make the "daughter" a faceless (obviously, since she doesn't exist) hallucination created by the siren's magic. But being a random sea creature is even better xD
I made a messed up sequence of animatic concepts with it being a younger siren and that reaaaaaally hurts when you think about the next song ahahaha ow
@@error8119Actually, that makes sense. Odysseus is so serious all the time, it'd be way too fucking ridiculous unless it was a signal. Like, how on earth would the crew keep a straight face otherwise? Their serious as a grave, cunning, ruthless captain, the man whose name literally means "bringer of pain" (no, I'm not making that up), blushing and tucking his hair behind his ear? I'd have fucking died laughing
It’s fairly lore accurate. In the odyssey Odysseus had his crew members tie him to the mast of the ship so he could hear the Siren song while his men filled their ears with beeswax.
There's also the fangs peaking out every so often that give away that she is a siren like the claws on the close up on her hand or the gills on her neck. Which are amazing levels of detail!!
The dolphin daughter is so funny😭 like the siren didn’t question whether it made sense she just hoped for the best. Also the “oh no” is done justice, one of the best deliveries in EPIC
Because they pretty much assume they were already entranced with the song. (Like, the sailors were probably all hallucinating whatever they wanted to see that would make them jump)
In some mythologies, sirens/mermaids can talk to dolphins, so I'm just imagining Sirenelope pulling one over like, "Can you be the daughter for a sec?" And Ody's like, "I don't have a daughter," and the two sea creatures just flounder there awkwardly lol.
2:23 I just noticed it in the track as well I thought it was just the artist’s interpretation. But you can hear and see her impatience with his bullshit and it’s so funny
I love how Odysseus seemed so in love at first when he looked at the fake Penelope: even as a sire song, he still finds her the most beautiful woman his eyes even seen.
@@alakazamlover4908 I honestly didn't think about that. But yeah that would make sense He's probably sickened by the fact that he hasn't seen his wife in like 10 years and now some sea creature dares to steal her face
@@AlexanderGardner-gq2gm exactly, so i feel like at first he's like "my wife...i havent seen her face in so long" and slowly morphs into "Lets cut the charade you are NO WIFE OF MINE"
@@alakazamlover4908 I mean I don't know what could be a bigger insult to Odysseus using his wife's face to manipulate him. I mean come on that dude already has scars. He doesn't need more
1:18 I really like how 'Penelope' goes from being bored and disinterested to actually looking really thoughtful and engaged as Odysseus lays out the puzzle for her. It's like she can't help herself but answer his question because she wants to prove that she's smarter than he is.
I love Odysseus's initial reaction to seeing the Syrin was surprise/blushing and then breathing out to center himself before singing. Like, he probably expected a Syrin to impersonate Penelopy, but that doesn't stop him from having the visceral reaction of seeing his wife after all these years. And then needing to psych himself up for the emotional labor of pretending to believe it really is his wife and then kill her.
The moment Odysseus takes at the beginning to steady himself and you can see the gears turning in his head as he improvises the fear of the water. Those little moments make animations for me.
I love so many things about this animatic. The way he looks so enamored at the beginning and the way he reminds himself that it's not her, the dolphin daughter, the way Sirenelope's nails are more claws, the fact that Odysseus has a rope tied around his ankle, the way he drew back when Sirenelope got on the front of the ship, showing that he is actually afraid, his face at "From, I dunno, POSEIDON", of course his hair tuck, his little hand wring at "But can't you let me stay dry?", and then the abrupt color shift as Odysseus pulls out his bow. Amazing job, and I look forward to any future animatics you create!
This is so detailed it’s amazing 0:07 the way you can actually see the siren take the form of Penelope is so smooth 0:12 Odysseus blushed face when he sees “his wife” after so many years and then just breathing in & getting into character was so sad 0:17 the siren is immediately predatory with her smile going so wide & the eyes looking just a little off, even without showing them you can feel the fangs hidden 0:25 he hates her already lmao he can’t even hide it for long 0:33 the unease on the siren’s face at having to start playing defense & just like Odysseus having to control her expression 0:39 the daughter dolphin I love her so. Also the ease with which the siren just moves through the water like she was flying is unnerving 0:42 “this bitch” 0:45 and the way he now looks like the predator, already he feels in control & looks like he is starting to enjoy tricking her 0:53 the nails being just long enough to be claws & the way she slightly flexes her hand. There is never a point where she doesn’t look dangerous 1:04 I love when people include him being tied but also, of course bargirl extraordinaire is crossing his legs 1:15 I love you too chibi Odysseus 1:23 he is so intense lmao 1:26 but it works! She gets caught up in their acts & looks like she is really thinking about it 2:03 👉👈 2:14 an back to barely contains her frustration she is moments away from just jumping & trying to kill him herself
I adore how you give signs that the siren is getting more and more frustrated as the song continues. "WTF? Why isn't my song working? Just how scared of the water IS he??? A question - sure, here's the answer NOW GET IN THE FUCKING WATER I DON'T HAVE ALL DAY!"
LET'S GOOO, THIS IS ART ! I like the "oh shood-" look in "Penelope's" eyes when Ody says "scared of the water" and the way she slowly lost the patience... ALSO ODY BBYGIRL LET'S GOOOO The way he looks at her in the beginning 💔 He must miss her so much :(
0:28 "....... But you're a sailor." "I'M VERY WISHY WASHY OKAY?!?!?!?" "Our Daughter thinks you need to see a therapist." "Our Daughter has FLIPPERS INSEAD OF HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!!" *all this while the rest of crew worries for their future*
the way that Odysseus and the Siren keep side eyeing each other is amazing. constantly going "what is wrong with you" at each other while pretending that everything is normal
The pure bewildered amusement Odysseus has from seeing the Dolphin. Like, "Does this usually work...?" Also, the way you drew Siren Penelope here... beeswax or no beeswax, I'd be jumping in.
The way Odysseus subtly isn't buying the siren's charade as his wife by the way he expresses his discomfort with body language is neat but it's telling he is glad to see a vision of his wife in a way. Both the Siren and Odysseus are playing the same game. Both trying to lead their prey to their deaths and are using each other for their own means. The Siren is just trying to figure out how to get Odysseus in the water by any means with the glint betraying her true nature as she is getting more and more frustrated with his reluctance. While Odyseeus's leg is tied up alluding to the original story but also to keep him grounded and to get the information home and the switch he does once he gets at 2:28. The reveal with the lighting and his own glint! The detail man!!!
OK THOUGHTS!! i love how she just grabs a dolphin on the "come play with me and our daughter" HAVING HIM TIED TO THE BOAT BY HIS FOOT IS SO GOOD "so lets say i was on the run or hiding.." favourite bit in the song and you animated it perfectly. hes just a yapper the "oh noo!" was done perfectly as well, she just wants a snack thought i would escape ody doing the debbie ryan, i shouldve known better (WHY DOES EVERYONE MAKE HIM BABYGIRL) having her clench her fist underwater to hide how annoyed shes getting is chefs kiss these conclude my thoughts. amazing as always, keep up the good work!
This is so good! The little hints in Odysseus' and "Penelope's" expression. The movement and colours! The blushing! THE DOLPHIN DAUGTHER! I love it so much!
Especially since sirens are actually half bird half lady I think they were we handmaidens cursed for not being able to find Persephone after she was (abducted?) to the underworld
I love how you drew siren penelope. she felt so off! the secret signs of being a siren, like the nails and gills on her neck sent shudders down my spine.
I LOVE HOW EVERYONE IN THE ANIMATIC COMMUNITY WORKED THEIR WAY AROUND THE WAY THAT ODYSSEUS IS SUPPOSED TIED TO THE SHIP!! because in the book, his all of his body is tied against the mast of the ship, but given the fact that in the musical; he needs his hands to shoot the siren... Yall came up with many amazing approaches for it, YALL AMAZING ✨️✨️✨️
I was cracking up at Odysseus just being all 'shy' and playing it up while the Siren is losing it patience. Also LOL! I love the Siren grabbing a dolphin just assuming the siren song working so he won't notice. XDDD This is great and the sudden shift at the end, the Sirens are going to meet a different kind of beast indeed. 👀
Love the expressions Odysseus has from 0:11- 0:15 , he was genuinely caught off guard by the first look of his wife he's had in 10-ish years, then he's like "it's not her, gotta put my game face on"
I love this so much!!! XIMENAAAAAAAA! You're a genius!! The hair tuck- love it! The way the siren was getting more and more pissed, Odysseus foot tied to the ship, the way he breathes in and out to prepare himself before talking to siren Penelope, to get into the role of definitely-under-the-spell-definitely-not-pretending and deal with what's probably a lot of emotional whiplash, yk having to pretend you're enjoying talking to an imposter of your wife who you miss a lot
Definitely my favorite take that I've seen so far. The Penelope reveal with the Ariel like look and the call back to the original story with his leg being tied!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, the screech I let out when I saw this, absolutely love you had Ody blushing abit in the beginning but having to focus, also love the Siren Penelope kinda being weirded out by how Ody is acting, the fucking dolphin being the daughter and Odysseus having "wtf face" before going "Oh rightttt, our daughter" the Siren getting agitated and angry at Odysseus close to the end, ALSO THE HAIR TWIRL, THE HAIR TWIRL, THE HAIR TWIRL AT 2:03 *cough* Right where was I, just such a beautiful animatic
It's sooo cute. I love Odysseus' character design. The siren's "oh no." I like how the siren claws under the water .and of course the hair tuck and blush.🤩
I love it that the sirens don't just lure with pure lust but with the wishes and dreams of their victims, as we can see that the siren disguised as Penelope to lure Odysseus who is missing his wife so much
I am absolutely in love with the vision for this video! Ody tucking his air, the "oh no," the siren about ready to lose her shit with Ody towards the end - IT WAS SO GOOD!!! Thank you so much for sharing this
How the siren didn’t catch that Ody’s asking Penelope-who should ALREADY be home-how to GET home is an unintended but nice touch. She’s so focused on getting to eat Ody and the crew that she doesn’t see that as a strange inquiry. Again, I’m sure it’s unintended, but it makes Ody’s taunt in Different Beast ring a bit better.
Words can't describe how much I LOVE this! Like- first off, attention to details?? Ody blushing but then reminding himself that she was a sire, the rope, the bow, and EVERYTHING. Then there's the comedic part which I audibly laughed at! Siren Penelope slowly getting angry, dolphin, THE INFAMOUS HAIR TUCK! Not to mention Eury just... Looking at him being shy in the end card... This is ✨perfection✨
this is so cute. love the little defails where the siren is slowly getting pissed off that its taking too long. and then ody just having a fun time aggravating her.
This is my favorite animatic that I’ve seen so far for this song! Odysseus is a smug king but you can still see moments of genuine emotion, like when he first sees Penelope, as well as her getting increasingly frustrated that odyesseus won’t get in the water already, and I love all the silly little details!
SO HYPE FOR THIS!! I love your art! :)) Also I love how many animatics are doing the hair tuck when Odysseus says he's too shy. (Jorge created something wonderful with the hair tuck.)
This is so cute. I love the expressions especially the siren's little-too-wide smile and the little "oh shit"-face she makes when Ody tells her that he's afraid of the water and all of Ody's expressions. Also love the fact that Ody is so in love with his wife that even as a siren she's the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. That kida lost looking and blushing face really does the job to show us how much he misses his wife. And of course the dolphin daughter had me dying. But it's actually really smart. She is so confident that the siren song already has Ody under her spell so why bother trying to find a more human-looking one. The siren song has always worked, so why wouldn't it work now. And my favorite moments in every single one of these animations are always the part where Ody explains his situation to the siren (also the way the siren looks so bored and gets startled in this one) and the "you know I'm too shy and terrified" and also the way the siren gets so annoyed putting up with Ody. Another thing that I love is the fact that both the siren and Ody have their moments when they look scary. Ody is seen smiling sinisterly multiple times and in my opinnion the siren's smile is always kinda terrifying. They both are trying to use the other person for their personal needs (siren wants to kill Ody, Ody wants to know how to get home). I also love the way she used water when she was telling Ody what he has to do. And I love the way Ody moves back a little when she comes on to the ship. In conclusion, I love everything about this animation. Thank you.
I love the expressions in this so much! From the beginning, you can see Odysseus doesn't believe the siren and is just playing along with her game while the siren is just barely concealing her maliciousness in order to trick Odysseus.
actually, putting up ur thumb even when you’re counting #s less than three js a thing a lot of countries do. using the thumb only when you counting five is strictly American, I think 🤷🏾♀️
1:43 "It's through the lair of Scylla." "No..." That literally means that Odysseus and his crew must sail to the Straits of Messina. Edit: Please do an animatic of "Different Beast"!!!!
Your style makes me so happy, the Jorge hair tuck, the dolphin daughter, the rope tied to Ody’s ankles just in case he gets pulled under, I always have a smile on my face whenever I see you do another animatic for Epic, I hope you get a chance to do Mutiny too 😊
