Space Age Bachelor Man | Ride The Cyclone Animatic
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 дек 2022
- Thank you one and all for the support on each and every RTC animatic. Tonight, I bring you Space Age Bachelor Man, meaning we are over halfway done. This series has eight planned total animatics, leaving us with three more to go before completion. I cannot express how excited I am to get these three remaining ones out.
This one was definitely one I struggled a bit more completing. Towing the line between something that stays true to the spirit of the song, makes sense within the context of previous animatics, all the while not pushing too far with the topic (because, well, have you heard the song) is always a bit of a challenge, and this one really cemented that. However, I hope I was able to do this song justice, and that you all enjoyed watching.
It wouldn’t be right to post this without acknowledging that although I depict my Ricky with mobility aids throughout the entirety of the musical, that isn’t the case in official productions of the musical. Despite the eleven year long run (2011 to present of documented official productions), only one disabled actor has ever played Ricky Potts: Yannick-Robin Eike Mirko (they/he). This actor has been fired because of their disability, and subsequently replaced with an able-bodied actor, both in the final days of the Mccarter run, and an upcoming production with Arena Stage that features multiple Mccarter actors reprising their roles. This is beyond repulsive, and not something that should even be happening. Disabled characters should be played by disabled actors.
If you wish to support Mirko in his future endeavors, or understand deeper what the situation with Mccarter has been (as they have deeply documented the entire ordeal), his site is www.yannickmirko.com, which has attached social media which you can follow. Make your voice be heard, do not let this go quietly. The more public awareness there is about this, the more the people involved will be forced to be held accountable. Thank you for reading.

Hey everyone! If you haven't, I really would suggest you read the description of this video. This one's actually important, as it has some information on the situation concerning Yannick-Robin Eike Mirko. Thanks for the support!
Rip Ricky, your wattpad readers will miss you.
Ricky is cultured. He would've used Ao3
You're so right, I'm sorry 😔
@@dovefilms nah, I see him as having a homemade website for his writing
Now I have this hc that both Ricky and Noel wrote fanfics. Ricky wrote more general stuff, short drabbles he'd occasionally come up with, and Noel wrote some heavier, more romantic stuff.
@@dovefilmsog Ricky would use wattpad
I love it how jane doe the entire time is like ⚫____⚫
She’s always like this, what’s why we love her
and that's how ricky saved an entire furry planet with an orgy, the end
I despise how that's literally 100% accurate
@@thecatinthehatwithabat9903 ikr
1. ricky is so cute
2. mischa and noel look WAY to invested
3. yes. yannick. our king
YES
I was so sad when I found out what happened to him. It’s heartbreaking how ableist people can be 😢 #SaveRickyPotts
Love that Ocean glared at Constance like she blames her for making Ricky singing about saving a planet of cat people from extinction lol.
the "porno is magical" to "making love with alien cat people" pipeline is real
real
Jane just sorta leans over to Karnak
“Is this a ‘porno’?”
Karnak just looks away
I LOVE HOW EVERYONE IS CONFUSED THEN THERES JANE LIKE "this is interesting"
LMAO
Jane looking over like: huh? :|
THE WAY AT 4:53 HE LOOKS AT KARNAK AND KARNAK LOOKS LIKE "YEAH YOU GOT THIS" AND HE'S JUST LIKE "YEAH I GOT THIS" UJFHBEUD9YUBWDSU
:0)!!! My interpretation behind drawing that scene was that was the part in which Ricky makes the decision to concede, so take of that as you will
i love how karnak just watches like: welp shit he's insane
Karnak is supportive of Ricky's alien catpeople fantasy 🥰
RIP Ricky, he would've loved the Monster Prom series.
I love Ricky blushing so much at the start.
And the "NOW?" Frame after "it gets weird now". That made me laugh.
And the colours, the colours are so pretty
in the show he pokes his head out from the curtain and its so funny, its like he's talking to the audience directly
I love that you chose to depict ricky with his crutches in the fantasy too, as a cane user I get why they probably thought it would be okay to not keep them for most of the performance (i.e. choreography) but it's nice to see more acknowledgement of them, since that did kinda bug me about the show (and the casting issues too...)
I'm glad you enjoyed that choice ^^ While making these animatics I took note of what mobility aid users in the fandom were saying, which is why I chose to keep his crutches in all of the animatics.
And while I'm no choreography expert, given the musical theatre performances I've seen utilizing mobility aids in choreo, even in McCarter Theatre's RTC production (Although obviously obligatory how they treated the actor for Ricky was terrible) proves that there are ways to work with this kind of stuff. The theatre industry loves painting issues of representation as a simple impossibility to get away with putting bare minimum effort, and it's really a shame because they DO have the ability to do better.
Honestly you have every right to be bugged by the show and its casting for those reasons, and I just hope that the uproar around it encourages other shows to be more mindful
I gotta say, as much as I love this whole animatic, the nervous and confused expressions from the choir TOP IT OFF, LIKE THOSE FRAMES WERE GOLD 😭
And the whole situation with Mirko is downright outrageous to me as well. He really shouldn't have been fired, and I agree that disabled actors should play disabled characters-!!
The choir be like: 🤨😨😱😰💀
I love how concerned they all are
I don’t get why so many people dislike this song. It’s my favorite in the show. It’s “cat”chy and fun.
Ricky would’ve loved catgirls
Lmao he wanted to be a protagonist for an echi isekai, heram, advanture story 🤣
Tbh don't we all
@@dovefilms no?????
@@Sireingtona lot of people do.
@@slimgrim3607 not me though, you pop off I guess??
@@slimgrim3607 but I guess the difference is that I want to be a dapper, quaint, and respectable man of Victorian society.
This was excellent! I love just how confused (and for Ocean specifically, horrified) the choir is and how everyone screams "NOW?!" when Ricky says "It gets weird now". I also love the approach you took with the Zolarian cats, having them resemble the members of the choir with the masquerade masks. And when Ricky is explaining stuff to the choir during the instrumental break, I was laughing my butt off because they all looked so disturbed! And small detail I love: even in his fantasy, Ricky retains his mobility aids, which foreshadows his choice to concede. Ricky is content with his life, so he doesn't get rid his crutches even though this is his fantasy where he's essentially a God and he has no reason to keep them. Overall, 10/10 and I can NOT WAIT for The Ballad of Jane Doe!
EDIT: The updated thumbnails look INCREDIBLE!
EDIT 2: The design for Count Dogulas is awesome and fits very well with the designs for the Zolarians!
EDIT 3: I'm not sure how I never noticed this until now, but I love how every member has a different color associated with them!
I am SO glad you liked the Zolarian designs! They were perhaps one of my biggest challenges in producing this animatic, trying to keep them fit the setting, but still be read as the choir to keep with the small cast that the musical does well in portraying.
Ricky keeping his mobility aids was so incredibly important to me as an artist. I've been following a lot the talk about how disability functions in the show, mainly from disabled fans, and ultimately decided that him keeping his crutches was just going to be the most respectful move. I hadn't even really considered the in-universe explanation for it, but the idea that it's because he's content with the life he led just plays so well into the overarching themes that I can't believe I didn't think of it.
Glad to see the new thumbnails are hitting well! I've been meaning to change them FOREVER, but hadn't had the time to sit down and do it til now.
Thank you so so much for watching, I love seeing your feedback for each of these videos, and I hope you enjoy The Ballad of Jane Doe, because that one is INCREDIBLY soon!
@@dovefilms Yeah, I remember you telling me about your struggles with designing the Zolarians, but I think you did a great job adapting them!
I respect your decision to have Ricky always have his mobility aids/crutches. Representation is incredibly important and something as small as keeping those crutches in this animatic can go a long way for someone. But I can't believe you didn't think of the in-universe reason for Ricky keeping his aids in his fantasy! There's always so much detail packed into your animatics I thought that it was intentional that he still had his crutches in his fantasy.
Yes, the new thumbnails are just plain EPIC! I love how, despite their slight simplicity, they're still very effective! The addition of the colors makes it even more cool!
I feel honored that my feedback has meant so much to you! I'm a massive fan of the idea of RtC animated movie or something (maybe implementing material from several different productions or something), so I greatly appreciate these animatics for doing what I can't do since:
1. I can't animate, haha.
2. Some of these songs, like the current "Uranium Suite" are just too epic for my brain to come up with an animated version for.
And you don't have to hope. I already know for SURE I'm gonna LOVE TBoJD!
YES giving Ricky a cape was an A+ move
Also, on point with the choir's reactions
I thought the stories i made up in my mind were weird, but this takes the whole cake.
I have story where a 14 years old girl with only one friend accidentally becomes magical because on her falls magical cat-girl princess from other world after in her country happens Revolution, and she teaches her magic.
Just you to know: this princess (her name is Silver) represents divinity, this power main character (Mary) now owns is given generation from generation in her dynasty (I don’t want to go deep into religion here, but if short there is a prophecy what three primordial gods one day will return but now they gave to three dynasties their powers to rule countries they made. WHERE ARE YOU MARIA-) Silver knew from childhood what she can easily die and no one will come to save her, She thinks of others as idiots, because they don’t understand true divinity. Other are worshipping gods because they believe it will save them, she worships them because she idolizes them. She wants to be the first and most divine queen, and be the closest to an actual god. This human friend’s name is Will, and he represents humanity. He’s weak, easy to scare, in a nutshell: loser. And it makes him human, he don’t does anything unforgivable such as murder (his one of three characters who don’t kill in plot, and there is 30-40) or something, but he does have mistakes, and he grows up after this. He can be scared, be happy, he can have friends, family, grow up and die. Isn’t what beautiful? But for person who thinks of humanity as weakness he’s just a clown. What’s one of reasons why he and Silver so f***ing hate each other, she sees in him all of her weaknesses, they literally have same phobias, mainly on what is build their arc. And Mary…..oh Mary…….my controversial bible accurate Mary. Half-God Born from a human, with help of other god, she combines both humanity and divinity, becoming perfect creature for guess who…….Maria! Who’s what? One of primordial gods. In plot Mary does a lot of mistakes, what costs lives of people, she thinks about them and changes, it makes her a human. But on other side she becomes more emotionless and empty, justifies her own actions, starts to think of myself as someone perfect, and becomes divine.
And if you think this story isn’t what bible inspired, it’s literally called Miracle Mary what is not only lore accurate but refers to born of main Christian figure, Jesus. Don’t kill me after what pls!
I needed to study but instead write this comments about my OCs, MY LIFE IN ONE LINE OMG.
@@tayschannel2695 if you made a book I’d read it in a heartbeat 😍
we all know damn well that noel was jamming the fuck out backstage
THATS SO REAL.
This song was 100% a fever dream
Ahhhhhh!!! I cant believe I missed two of your animatics!! Catching up now!!! As a disabled actor I am so beyond happy that you portray Ricky with his mobility aids!! I love how the cat women are clearly the choir in masks!! It looks like theyre acting out some weird play haha! And ocean and constance’s expressions are great!! Oh my gosh and count dogulas!!
Thank you for your comment! I'm really glad that Ricky maintaining his mobility aids was something that could bring joy to people. I've been keeping up with a lot of the discussion around the show's handling of Ricky's disability, and even though I can't change the show itself, I wanted to atleast do my part as an artist in doing what I could ^^
2:10 thats just all of us watching this scene
I LOVE THIS!!! The cutaways to Ricky explaining to the bewildered choir and an appalled Ocean is my favorite ehehehe
THIS IS SUCH A SLAY MOMENT ALSO THEIR EXPRESSIONS AT 1:30 IS SO AMAZING LOLL
This song reminds me of David Bowie in the best ways
You are the saviour of the rtc community
High praise, thank you, but I am just a simple member of the community paying my dues after lurking for ages ^_^;
I love this so much... the color palette is beautiful, the artsyle, the... everything!
Also, 2:10 made this a 100 times better and it represents very well the "watching Space age bachelor man for the first time" experience.
Thank you!! So glad to have captured the accurate reaction of listening to this song for the first time lol
I especially love Jane's face the funniest
1:58 did Ricky just explain EXACTLY what occurred after. Also love the choirs expressions.
Ricky has been waiting for years to infodump about his self insert maladaptive daydreaming universe. Of course he's explaining *everything* in explicit detail.
I have no clue what I just watched but that was amazing
A musical called ride the cyclones about six dead kids playing a game where one of them will come back to life
@@yourfavoritenothing3.045 oh yeah I already know what the musical is about it's just I was not expecting to see a space age bachelor man animatic today
It's just as trippy as I imagined it
@@altaccount1226its a musical
NOO KARNAK LOOKS SO DONE WITH RICKY I CAN'T
To me he looks like he’s kinda proud of Ricky for ticking Ocean off
4:40 everyone execpt ocean looked like they were curious on what was happening next
Ocean is just a hater :(
I love that he has his crutches throughout the whole video ❤❤
More about the description than the video itself- but IF AN ACTOR WITH THE SAME DISABILITY AS THEIR CHARACTER CANT DO SOMETHING, THE CHARACTER SHOULDNT BE DOING THAT?? Like come on man. AND IF THEY FIRED HIM FOR NO REASON THEN THATS EVEN WORSE-
So I just learned what happened in more detail.
WHAT THE HELL??
Honestly its so annoying that they don't use the mobility aids in the show. I never saw it (Hell i only knew this musical existed in 2022/23) but its just so... gross in my opinion. Disablity isn't something to be ashamed of
@@dustyrose192 As someone with a mobility disability (albeit not as severe as what’s implied in the show) I think it both makes sense for the character to be disabled or not disabled in the afterlife. They should have two scripts depending on casting. I feel like the most respectful way to handle it would for there to be options, especially considering different people with the same disability might feel completely opposite (like I hate my physical disabilities and the idea of them following me into death is horrific, whereas many people see their disability as just a part of who they are). Such a disappointing decision considering they totally could’ve made accommodations without affecting the show much
the cuts to the choir just looking so confused concerned and scared is killing me
Another awesome animatic, space babies! I especially love 2:10 BECAUSE OF JANE IN THE BACK 😭 Read the description, thanks for spreading more awareness to how Mirko has been treated, I believe I came across that news through a RUclips video they posted about it but it's great to see more RTC fans also sticking up for them
Thank you for watching! I didn't realize they had a channel, otherwise I totally would've linked of that as well. Gonna go edit the description later to include that actually!
It's really cool you kept his cruches, then I read the description and my suspicion of abilism in the show has been confirmed and I'm sad.
Short explanation of this song?
Horny guy imagines cat people to have fun with.
Same.
Same for me, but I’m a girl, still all for the cat girls though😅
Rip Ricky, You would love reading 'Stranger in a Strange Land' by Robert A. Heinlein.
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH NOW I WANNA MAKE MY OWN SABM ANIMATIC
If you do, I am 100% watching
I love the difference between 2:20 and 2:27 because Micha is too shook to reply, and Jane is just chilling
The line about his seed always makes me stop and go "wtf sm i listening to" xd
I came back to watch ur animatics, u really carried the whole fandom a year ago
Thank you for rewatching, and happy to provide such a valuable service o7
this song is just about a guy downbad for an alien race
HELP OCEAN LOOKS SO FRIGHTENED 😭
Haha, he's so me

Who don’t wants cat girls harem-

I’m sry I just can’t listen to the newer cast. I honestly feel bad for the people that didn’t get a change to see Gus and Alex.
Also pls note that it has nothing to do with Scott’s race/skin color, I just prefer the older cast better. Gus is also fine af-
