The Room Where It Happens | Hamilton Animatic 

Pretty much dude 💀✌🏽

Fr this song SLAPS!!

It's a truth. Leaving the truth omitted, Burr stands in for Miranda, trying to look in.

Lmao ikr😂

Me when my brothers go to the store with my mom but they don't take me

It’s his own fault

He also relates to the little cousin in the aspect that he kills the person responsible.

me and cousins hold "council meetings" in our oldest cousin's bedroom, we always leave this one cousin out because reasons. burr is that one cousin.

But its actually a start to a big bop

@Jenna's Antennas No.

The US is just the punchline

It's not racist... BUT

In the workshop version it was originally “two Virginians and an immigrant walk into a bar” so it was originally gonna be like a bar joke

4. After the war he went back to new york

5. He practiced the law, practically perfected it

Hamilton:THATS TRUE

Ikr it was Soo cool

Me too

It also shows burrs realization that he cant wait anymore if he wants to be in the room where it happens.

That actually gave me chills when I first thought about it. Like in real life we actually have no trace or clue what these three men discussed.

Yea but in a really cool way 😂

That's my exact thoughts XD

Jaming Rhythm well we do but it’s just Thomas Jefferson’s account and he... isn’t a trustworthy narrator. The only part of his account that I feel isn’t biased is how he stated it was the worst decision of his political career.

I know, like all the bills they passed recently, we never get to decide OUR country’s fate, and only the 200 something people get to. What’s the point of freedom if we can’t help our country be better?

Huh, I always heard that line as "You want to lead us to safer days, but you don't have a voice in what they trade away" It sound weird to me, so glad to find I just wasn't heating it correctly.

A game of rock paper scissors was how they compromised 🤣

chipsndips Aww, I’m super happy for you! I fell fast and hard when I first got into it, just be careful for miku binders, it was an odd time in our lives

It lives on

@Ryujin’s Wife nO

as long as we all agree to forget 2016-2017 we're fine

but it's true. you can't get politically popular if you stand by and watch it happen, without spreading your beliefs. as hamilton said, you can't win unless you are playing the game. and, after hamilton pushed burr to stop waiting for it, further after this burr took hamilton's father in law's senator spot and nearly became president, becoming vice president instead

I agree. I saw people saying that, for them, it was at that song that Burr started to look more like a villain, but I disagree completely. Hamilton looks way more like the villain and Burr looks more like the good guy that wants to do something but doesn't know how. The song is basically about how Burr thinks that Hamilton used of inmoral means to get what he wanted, but nobody saw it, so he can't prove it, so he gets desperated to be inside the "room where it happens" so he can maybe stop things from going south.

@@niky_peixoto But of course, what this animation conveys, is the defeated look in Hamilton's eyes. He has tried everything else. EVERYTHING. And gotten nothing and nowhere. The only way he can get what he wants is something that will crush his soul.

@@Chirpysemperboy But I think "what he wanted" was by itself a problem. Like, Hamilton wanted so bad to have full control of the economy that he got to the point of rejecting alternatives that could also solve the problem, but that wouldn't give him this power (that's by the true story, it's not said in the song)

@@niky_peixoto were there alternatives? the way I see it the horrendously weak government can't do anything if the debt isn't at least in one place, and with all the states chipping in together for it.

Pure gold 😂

thank you sans

Thanks for the pun

i simultaneously love and despise you for this one

Lol

pleaseee this is like my favorite line XD

LITERALLYYYYYY

My fav lines are: “talk less, smile more” and “we dream in the dark for the most part” and the one you put

don’t forget the click boom scene, it’s very creative

My favorite scene was the part where the doors turn into stairs, we see papers, and a paper says “Burr is now a senator”

Don’t forget how at 4:15 his eyes are reflecting the light in the room ahead of him and when it closes his eyes go back to normal

Agreed

That’s what’s sad about Hamilton, so many people think he’s the big hero and burr’s the monster when, in reality, if you look back in deeper you realize that some of the things Hamilton did were totally crazy. In the end it kinda seems like Hamilton is the monster.

It’s a perfect lead in to Schuyler Defeated

and the way the "click boom" kinda sounds like a camera make it fit so well!

You are so right

🏢

It’s very cool.

Lol

r a t n o i s e s

Me rememberng burr shot Hamilton, I guess when he said and all he had to do was die, and they should give it a try he wasn't lying

it's a pretty cool guess

I think it's the opposite. If you analise Burr and Hamilton's true story, it looks more and more like Hamilton wasn't exacly a great guy while Burr was very good. Hamilton got into thousands of duels and he manipulated his gun so he could shoot faster (obviouly won all of them, since he was alive), and he used the same manipulated gun while dueling against Burr (I doubt he missed on purpose). Burr, on the other way, was described as having "the rigor of a devil and the imparciality of an angel", because in his job he was alwayns imparcial and fair even against people which were his opponents. He sent letters to Hamilton to ask him to back down on the rumors about him, because they were extremely serious, including a rumor about him fucking his own daughter (and we know how much Burr loved her and his family in general). Burr was also a feminist while Hamilton was much more conservative about it. There are also other storys, like how Burr lied to Hamilton so he could open a bank that destroyed Hamilton's party monopoly, and how Burr sold his watch to help poor kids because he didn't have anything else. I actually believe that Hamilton did acts of corruption and Burr noticed and tried to do something about it by becoming a politician of the opposition. Besides, Hamilton was trying to create a strong government and went as far as to want the president and senators to have LIFETIME positions, while Burr didn't like the idea at all.

@@niky_peixoto right except the Hamilton musical isn't actually real. We must accept the story presented and analyse it on its own merits. What "actually happened" doesn't matter and has no impact on the narrative presented.

@@drangelice Right, but I do think the inspiration cannot be ignored. I do think that Burr wasn't a complete villain at the musical either, even because I started to search about him because I like his character at the musical and I do think he looks nice, even if he looks, indeed, quite the narcissist

​@@niky_peixotoI always assume is somewhere in between the rumors, I don't think we can ascertain for sure what happened but I think they were in the end just humans doing human stuff. And as celebrities of the time any mistake gets exaggerated 100 fold. We can all try to reach conclusions on what actually happened but the truth none of us were in "The Room where it happened" So it's hard to get all the context over why certain decisions were made.

im sad the hamilton hype is down cus i wanted to start making animatics but oh well

@@villarozie it's never too late! I'd be down to watch it

Nah it’s gonna go up because of Disney plus

hype never dies

My cousins are ADICTED to Hamilton and when it did die down in our family, it came on disney + and it started again... YAS!

I know, right? Haunting and eerie.

But it works so well in conveying Burrs emotions! I love it!

Cause hes fuckin impatient

This song just sends chills down my spine. The ending especially. love it.

I love how the ‘click booms’ are foreshadowing him shooting Hamilton (it is him that shoots him, right?)

Hehe 420

Remember me of a classic Disney villain song 😂

Wait Is Burr a villain? ._. I do not fully embrace Hamilton yet, I started my adventure with him through cover, in a different language anyway, and somehow it turned out that Burr became my favourite character XD And now you're telling me he's a villain here !?

@@burrito2981 Nothing wrong with a villian being your favorite character And While i'd say burr definitely is the villian you can argue its hamilton, or even jefferson and madison to some extent

I think that Jefferson, Madison, and Burr can all be seen as villains since I think the musical is set in Hamilton's perspective

Especially 4:05 that part reminds me of Facilier

@@burrito2981 Me too! I searched into Hamilton's and Burr's story and I actually concluded that Hamilton was actually the bad guy and that Burr was a great guy.

When was that? I thought they turned into cards...?

Oh nevermind lol found it 🤣

I personally LOVE 3:41 's position! It's so unique and expresses Hamilton's emotions brilliantly!

666th like :)

Connartz i also love that postition!

This is my favourite song to

3:57 i got Danganronpa vibes personally *”NO, THATS WRONG”*

Why is this underrated?!

its cause so many people make that exact same joke on so many other Hamilton videos. I already saw a few on this vid alone. it's a cheesy but kinda funny joke, it's just annoying that so many people copy it.

Got us in the first half ngl

This is still funny

Yes

Yess!! And when Burr goes into the empty rooms, the other threes figures are an even *darker* purple, which I thing symbolizes that what they said are hidden deeper in the dark.

Yo reading this, it really changes the way i look at the WHOLE animatic. Every part where you can see darker or more lighters hues of purple/yellow it really makes you think about the meaning of the line and AHHHH thank you for writing this

@@greaterbritannia5745 oh wow. I could go on an entire rant on how you're wrong. But, in summary, he lost literally everybody he held dear. His parents died when he was young. Both Theodosia's died. Sure, he wasn't perfect, but who is? He was human. Saying that somebody who literally helped make this country what it is doesn't even get to have a *street* named after him because of his mistakes is like saying a normal person doesn't deserve to be remembered because of a stupid thing they said years before they died.

@Alexis Reum25 Hamilton agreed to the damn duel. Its equally Hamilton's fault

stephanie rachal bruh I’m an angry Hamilfan y u gotta be so harsh

Alexis Reum25 if you didn’t agree to a duel back then you were seen as cowardly so your right, he didn’t have a choice

Not tryna act like this doesn’t matter, but.. *does it just say “Aaron Burr, Sir?”*

For 2 years i misheard it as "my god he cant be trust" 😭💀🙏🏾

Oh yeah that *is* actually pretty cool

i was today years old when i found out about _this_

I think that was cuz he was trying to follow burrs advice which doesn’t last long cuz that’s hard cuz he’s talkative

Although I could be wrong.

@@landofthewildmaddi3840both is good tbh

My favorite part as well, so smooth!

That was all Disney like

And then later when they become steps

Omg yes

I audibly gasped when I saw that, it was so brilliant

I spy with my little eye a fourth wall break but not really a fourth wall break

Burr isnt a villain though, in hamilton’s perspective he was the hero and burr was the villain but if you think about Burr’s perspective, he helped build up the country but nobody know him, he had no say and had his political reputation ruined by hamilton. He called him “unworthy” “does not deserve anything” or straight up lies. I think the villain is hamilton here

Extremely late but in my opinion, both of these guys were villains. Hamilton for spreading rumors and talking bad about him. Burr for losing his cool at the worst time. Of course, I do think Hamilton should have been more kind and stopped thinking about his legacy for at least 5 seconds because it really just reflected poorly on him later. So Hamilton is a greater evil but for me only by a slight margin. Ugh this is a waste why am I writing this

@@seafoam8845 well, historically, the rumors weren't wrong. Burr wanted nothing power for the sake of power. Personally, I'd end a man's run for president if he was like that too

@@letstryagain9084 I’m pretty sure some of Hamilton’s rumors (like Burr being in an incestuous relationship with his daughter) were dead wrong and spread solely for the sake of ruining Burr’s life…They were both pretty power hungry and sleezy at times imo, so I agree with the others about the villain of the story depending on either’s perspective

Whoa shit, I'm so honored man! You're an incredible artist yourself! I had a lot of fun with the lighting in this one, I'm so glad you noticed the little hints there 😁

I agree with Ziksua! (Btw AAAAAH! HI ZIKSUA!!) I also like the transitions in the song!

@@HuangHYing Even Ziksua noticed you wow. That just shows how good this is :o

Oh my god even Ziksua noticed. It must be that good

E

Yes that is the point of the song

Its because, Hamilton has been taking NYC by a storm, he made a huge impact in their campaign while Burr just stands in a side line and "wait" for things to work out but he failed to realize if he wants things to change he needs to make decision and actually step up. Both Hamilton and Burr has dreams and goals only difference is Hamilton has ambition

Bruh, that's literally the entire point of the song. Bur doesn't really get it untill Hamilton goes "You get nothing if you wait for it." Which is why you literally hear him announce that he wants to be in the "Room where it happens."

oh someone please Mashup this song with Friends on the other side now

I officially need this

y e s

That's what I thought!

S O M U C H

Same ;-;

Philip Hamilton PHILIP?

Me too :'(

Get the free trial if you aloud too :>

That's why I am here, watching old animatics.

Yep

Because every story has a villain, and even though burr is the villain is the villain in Hamilton's story, the opposite is true in burrs life

From a certain narrative perspective Hamilton is the antagonist.

I mean I always looked at things through burrs perspective, and Hamilton is the villain.

I find that Hamilton is the villain of his own story. He constantly foils himself and he shouldn’t have died. Love Hamilton (in the musical at least) but he had three months to call off the duel. Not to say Burr was right, but if Hamilton had said sorry or just called it off, he wouldn’t have left his family behind. His pride was a major downfall for him. He did a lot of things to foil himself. That’s just my perspective though.

A villain can be the protagonist of the story.

I was hoping at least one comment would point out the inclusion of Jefferson's swivel chair. I'm glad someone else noticed!

I AM AMAZED BY THIS COMMENT!

Wow he invented that never knew mind blown XD

@@catayak and they had to ban food from the senate because he kept forcing everyone to eat his macaroni cheese

Small extra thing, Jefferson’s menu consisted of ham, which I thought was silly

And anything after lol

Also how is eliza

@@m4ryslibrary Angelica died before Eli- You know what, nevermind...

@@gaylord3115 theyre both dead now

Heyy Angelica

Also the fact that you started this three years ago and finally got the motivation to finish it is an inspiration to all artists

no. 2 is the best 😂

Also loved the wait for it part near the end

So, with the outline on Hamilton, I think it's to represent Burr's knowledge of him. The people in yellow are the people who are "in the room where it happens"- they know all the deep secrets that go on. The people in purple are the people in the dark. And, during the stated conversation between Burr and Hamilton, I think the yellow outline means that Burr only knows the surface level of Hamilton. He hasn't seen the entire person.

Just wait an hour and thirty minutes my friend.

It’s been like 3 months and I still can’t stop watching it. This is honestly the best animatic I’ve ever seen in my life

The “what do you want Burr”s get me every timeeee

No worries I love reading all these analyses and seeing what people get out of the animatic haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to write one yourself, thanks very much
