- regretting that i just didn't initially commit to making the full animatic for the entire song haha
tbh i was kinda at the stage of "finishing it to just finish it" LOL but since i was on vacation i thought might as well! fun fact: did you know I uploaded part 1 on my departing flight and started part 2 on my return flight? (￣︶￣)
other thoughts:
sorry for inconsistent penelope design LOL i never drew one
i really wish i incorporated penelope better from 3:16 to the end (it felt better in my brain)
zeus in the sky... i also wish i did that better but ya kno im tired
3:31 when i was drawing this frame i thought "he looks so bby girl here" lmao
ok done rambling! now i wait for the ocean saga and work on other projects ^^

I can’t respond to each and every one but I’d like to thank all of you!!! Everyone taking the time to write what they noticed 🥹❤️❤️❤️ I appreciate it!!
Amazing!
The way Penelope's acting like, "Oh look at here, a baby! Look, Telemachus, he's just like you!" GOT ME BAWLING AND IT'S STILL 9 A.M
I’m so glad you noticed this detail 🥹❤️
Bro same
It's just way too beautiful:')
😂I like how Odyssey basically got BITCHED Slapped by ZEUD & Athena is suddenly mildly intrigued by this " mortal concept " of DEFIANCE
😢~😮😊👏
🦉📜 ❤~🎉?
I love how you don’t ever fully show Zeus’s true form here. Really puts a feeling of just how impossibly elemental the King of the Olympians truly is
It also kinda frames this as Zeus being "covert", as that war had the gods playing favorites, and Zeus would need to avoid wider attention when giving the "mission".
Also let’s the mind wonder to how the other gods inhabit the world, even what the war between the titans and olympians, like how did the war even look to us humans
*this animatic is very good ANYWAYS*
@@averongodoffire8098 likely what we'd see with natural disasters but all at once. Tornados, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, blizzards, everything going at once, nowhere is safe.
@@zuziiice8907 that's a pretty good idea I'd say ^^
I love how the voice of Zeus is dark and imposing just up until "The blood on your hands is something you won't lose", where the voice suddenly gets almost sweet. Almost as If even the King of the Gods pities Odysseus for the decision that he's forced to make
Yeah I mean even Zeus sometimes doesn't wanna have to watch suffering
That whole scene with Penelope on the other side of the cradle representing everything he has to lose but also the reason why he hesitates … amazing.
I couldn't phrase it any better than that! Absolutely amazing work Rochi!
That is exactly right!! Perfectly phrased, it was heartbreaking to see too!
Penelope not being truly present as seen by when she fades away, but she still interacts with Astynax and Odysseus, and she reacts to him begging Zeus for another option
I love this so much
It’s such a cool detail :D !!
Yeah, the way Odysseus looks at her as he says "I'll raise him as my own" as if he immediatly wants to tell his wife too that he wants to adopt a new son.
Kinda weird seeing "little Ajax" or Ajax the lesser being portrayed as cute here knowing what he actually does in the myth 😅
Is no one gonna talk about Little Ajax looks undisturbed while holding the heads of his enemies?
There’s a reason they made him stay back… _he’s too strong_
I started laughing at this part because Teucer looked done with him😂
@@nightlight73 and high as fuck of his own ego
"You need to stay back Ajax, you're too little!"
Ajax kills and beheads two men.
Ya know what, maybe we should let Ajax join in on this one...
Now imagine how terrifying Ajax The Greater was.
I love all these depictions of Zeus in this song. He either appears there, as an apparition, as a formation of clouds or as you've shown here an animal but whenever lightning strikes his form is shown in the clouds as a shadowy figure.
Oh God. Penelope reacting to the baby as if its also so precious in her eyes just made me cry into a puddle. Because it is precious, babies especially as a parent are precious and SHOULD be protected and now Odysseus is haunted. huhuuh
Seeing Zeus as just an eagle throughout this instead of seeing his face appear somehow is really creative. The gods are well known to appear in front of people as all sorts of things, especially Zeus to his many many "lovers". Also I can't help but feel like Penelope appearing there on the other side of the cradle for so long was Zeus just fucking with Odysseus by making her appear there and linger that long, which I really liked the idea of actually. The gods would not be above something like that.
god, the emotion on Odyseus’s face is so good, and i also want to point out the FIGHTING SCENE??? like DAMN that was done so well, and i know for a fact they’re so difficult, i love the dynamic poses and how he’s fighting *dirty*, slicing the back of his opponent’s knees isn’t necessarily an honorable tactic but it is one a warrior of the mind would use.
That look in Odysseus eyes when he sees Penelope's smile and flashes back to his memories with her, this mixture of not wanting to lose her but also not wanting to do something so awful, I love it so much
THE FACT THE ENDING IS INSPIRED BY THE SHOT OF RAMSES MOURNING OVER HIS SON IN THE PRINCE OF EGYPT .....I AM SO NOT OKAY!! 😭😭😭
I'm *obsessed* with how you drew Zeus! The fact that his more human form only showed up when there was lightning, perfect for the God of the sky and _thunder._ How the eagle led him to the room was so great! He's walking through this house, doesn't know where exactly to go but trusts Zeus to lead him where this awful foe is waiting. And then when he sees that it's a baby, he also sees a ghost like figure of Penelope being maternal with the boy who will grow to an avenger. Sees how sweet she is as a person while getting the threat that if he doesn't kill the baby his wife will be killed. Zeus really twisting the knife on that one lol.
I could go on with other things I loved, but the comment would get really long.
Fantastic job! You should be proud of yourself, I know I am!
UGH I LOVE THIS ANIMATION SO MUCH BEST ONE IVE SEEN YET. LOVE HOW ZEUS IS AN EAGLE AS HIS TRUE FORM AND HOW PENELOPE SHOWS UP TO PICK UP THE BABY AS IF IT WAS TELEMACUS
where do I even Start,
1. Little Ajax, Adorable
2. The fighting scene was incredible
3. ZEUS APPEARING IN THE LIGHTNING????
4. Zeus appearing as an eagle since that's his animal
5. The contrast of the animatic mostly being in a darker lighting, except for the Penelope & Telemachus and when they get to baby Astyanax
6. when Penelope crouches down to Astyanax showing how Odyseus sees his own son rather that Astyanax
Everything about this was so fucking good, the fighting animation, the emotions when he realized he did in fact have to kill the baby and the way you didn’t show Zeus’s form but alluded to it being too magnificent. 😭😭
I screamed when I realized this was the finished version of the epicness I watched the other day.
This is amazing in so many ways but I just wanna call out this is the first version I've seen that has 'little Ajax will stay back' still have Ajax as the absolute madlad he was even as a youth in the story.
I love how when Odysseus at the end you can tell he is heartbroken from the choice he has to make because he doesn't want to kill the child he's even willing to adopt him as his own so that prince hector's kid may live happily but in the end it wasn't his decision but the fates choice
The way penelope is shown carressing the boy and holding her own son.
THIS HAS BEEN ONE OF THE ones that had great ideas in. I honestly believe if all these animators work together like hosting discussions to ensure that they can agree on making an animatic/animation (no clash of creative direction) of the musical together would be an awesome thing.
OH MY GOD THIS IS AMAZING!!! I love the emotion and action being put into every single frame! And the lightning illuminating Zues was P E R F E C T
Dang I LOVE how mystical Zeus is here! Really gives the "It's a god, not anything else mortal" feeling
DAMN, the amount of details on this animatic is off the charts! The way you should clips of just what the other did when Odysseus ordered them is pristine. Your depiction of the horse, the invasion of Troy, Zeus leading Odysseus to the Infant's room and the foreshadowing of the 'Enemy'. IT. WAS. ALL. AMAZING. The scene of Odysseus where the angles circles him and his expression as Zeus gets him to kill the infant and finally the Last line where Penelope looks Odysseus in the eyes with her holding her cheek with the line "all I can choose is whose'. Honestly the best animatic The Horse and the Infant!! Thank you for investing so much of your time in this animatic
I really love the camera work before the "I can raise him as my own!" It makes me feeling of urgency and desperation.
1:50 I love how the baby's scream looks like it comes from Odysseus. Beautiful interpretation.
I always thought of it as him seeing his own death by Astyanax's hands
what kind of baby has that deep of a cry 😭 i’m almost certain that’s Odysseus screaming in a future where he was killed, not the infant
And I literally still can't catch my breath 💀 this is so amazing and your artstyle is so fitting and aesthetically pleasing and the perspectives in this and wow WOWOWOWOWOWOW
I especially loved the scene where Odysseus jumps off the wall and where he gets those romantic flashbacks of Penelope. Absolute lovely idea. And ofc the way you "portray" Zeus, that he is not embodied by a specific human Form just makes him seem so much superior and godly. Yes, there comes this voice, and Odysseus knows its a vision and it IS the will of the gods. So powerful and mighty he cannot disobey.
Absolutely breathtaking 👏👏👏👏✨
Little Ajax the sadist over here 0:49
This is the best one i have seen so far. As many people have already said, the presentation of Zeus was fab and I loved the omen with the eagle and the serpent, the mythological accuracy is giving me life.
Also, the detail in this is incredible. I love how you actually showed so much of the battle and fighting, and seeing them kill like is described in Homeric epics makes me so happy.
Last thing, the last 2 minutes or so were perfect (the whole thing was perfect) but the way he stopped at Hector and Andromache's portrait was amazing, and then having him see Penelope and Telemachus standing above Astyanax as a visual representation of his options makes his desicion seem so much harder and more poignant.
Overall, incredible job, 10/10 would recommend.
Words cannot express how much I love this animatic! Everything is so well thought through. I love how you cut to the cloak and dagger tactics of the soldiers as Odysseus gives his speech to the men and then explains what they'll do. Little Ajax's mischief is just *chef's kiss* (plus Teucer's reaction😂). The way you suggest the form of Zeus while also making clear that the Eagle is his stand in. The shots and flashbacks of Penelope and Telemachus perfectly sell us on why this decision is just so hard for him (which is saying something because we could already buy that killing a literal baby is something no one should want to do). Chef's kisses and gold stars everywhere.
*This one is my absolute favourite.* You captured his feelings perfectly, and so dynamic too!! Your hard work pays off :))
yo if EPIC ever gets an adaptation it should 100% be 2D animation and they should 100% hire you!!!
This is my favorite animatic of this song! Everything is perfect here! Seriously, the character designs and every decision are just perfect! I wish I could see a video from you for other songs))
The narrative is just perfect!! Its fantastic
every shot of zeus + penelope looking over the cradle and smiling at baby astyanax... i'm on the floor
I swear to God your animations are amazing, they have something more than all the others, I think you can say that every scene, every single scene is perfectly studied, I mean the animation looks more realistic, more real than the other animations, I love it.
AHHHHH BRUH THATS SO BEAUTIFUL IM LITERALLY SCREAMING IT WAS SO WELL DONE. IM WHEEZING!!!!!!!
War is just so terrible, no one wins because it breeds hatred in the loser camp. This is so heart aching to see how this whole situation is terrible for everyone. If they don't retaliate, then they accept losing people they love. But the worse is how human Odysseus is poisoned by all those decisions that poison him slowly. A young man in love endorsing the role of a soldier to protect his beloved and his people, the shoes are awfully big to fill but he does it and each and every actions he does weight in his heart. Zeus telling him the future is such a dick move, it shows so much how awful the god is towards humans and enjoy this conflict. It is so hard to watch as all hopes slip away from Odysseus as he understand he has to commit a taboo to secure is future. Odysseus is really such a complex character, the song and the animation really give him justice.
Oh my goodness! I have not cried at an animatic in so long... The storytelling was spot on!
goosebumps, that was an amazing animated experience. And using eagle for Zeus was very clever move.
I love how all of the animatics for this song has camera spins and such for the infant part.
Little Ajax holding the heads innocently 😂😂😂 and Trucer is like a big bro being like “really, kid?”
I can't help but keep rewinding the part around 2:52, it's just so stunning and really drives in how impactful the scene is
beautifully done!
This is the best Horse and Infant animatic I've seen!
WE ARE NOW THE ONES WHO ✨SLAY✨ YES GO QUEEN
This is so amazing, goodness! I abso loved Zeus' intro, and how he never really became there, but you can totally feel his presence. And then the Hector is in the cloud, just the whole thing is -chefskiss-
This gave me goosebumps, i love it!
Very good animation in the faces!! The emotions really stood out!
Oh my GOD this has to be the best one I have seen! The moment he saw the baby I started crying. Your ability to invoke emotion while watching this is magnificent!
Your Odysseus look so GOOD, please don't die and don't put beard on him😭🙏🏻
The moment penelope shows up next to the crib smiling and cooing at the baby I got chills!!!
GOD I love your sytle so much :D
such an amazing work!
The fighting is so smooth !!
THIS IS SO GREATTT!!
Proceeds to yeet child.
I wish they'd put the original songs back on Spotify
THIS WAS SO WORTH THE WAIT, JUST THE OTHER DAY I COULDNT FIND COMPLETE ANIMATIONS AND HFHGHURGU WOAH
You can become a storyboard artist with this much talent and skill.
omg Now that we got the full animatic i gotta say ITS SO DANG AMAZING especially now that its completed 😍
Also i love Zeus's intro it so good 😁
this is sooo GOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
DUDEEE zeus appearing in the lightnings shadow?????? that’s so creative THATS AMAZING ❤❤❤
This is absolutely incredible. You must have worked so hard on this, and it really shows on the timing, the expressions... the EXPRESSIONS are so GOOD.
THIS SO GOOD PARDON ME??? The cinematography here is amazing, i absolutely love the dynamism of the fight (the introduction of the warriors is so fun and odysseus jumping into the battle and the whole choreography from 1:34 feel straight out of an anime) VS the divine intervention (amazing work on the values, everything fading to black from 1:50 until 2:28 as he enters the brightly lit chamber), Zeus being so damn ominous and only being seen through lightning is such a good representation of a god, the camera movement and lighting at 3:16 are so dramatic and intense, etc etc I'd have so much to say but you get it, this is a bloody amazing animatic and I think I've fallen in love with your work
I'm just crying😭😭😭
This is easily my favourite animatic for the Horse and the Infant. The tension, the cinematography, the way you manage to manage to match the 'cameras' movements to the beat really make this animatic striking to a degree I've rarely experienced animatic before.
The emotion in the expressions is something I cannot express my appreciation enough towards
Fine work and you have a new subscriber
this is insane woahhh!!!
This is probably the animatic that best shows what I saw in my head while listening to this song and i love it
It looks so good wtf
I LOVE YOU YOU ARE AMAZING HOW ARE YOU NOT MORE WELL KNOWN???
The anatomy, the perspectives, the fit with the music... I'M STUNNED I'M IN AWE even the way you've designed each character (including Zeus) is so so creative and shows such a proficient grasp of the Homeric Epics YOU'RE TRULY A BLESSING TO THIS COMMUNITY
Talented, incredible, showstopping, never before seen...
THIS IS AMAZING!!! I loved how you animated it!
This is so good I'm literally BLOWN AWAY
your brain is SO INSANE and your odysseus is so hot though????
This is Brilliant!!!!😮
THE ABSOLUTE EMOTION IN THIS OH MY GOD???? THERES SO MUCH TO SAY BUT I NEED TO PROCESS...
Masterpiece
Holy crap this is epic
I love how everyone just think ajax is just some little kid they bought to the war I want this to be canon in the musical for the memes
Ive been obsessed with Epic animatics lately and i gotta say, this is probably the best one I've seen until now. Really amazing, the action scenes are fantastic, Odysseus jumping down the walls, Zeus in the clouds looking ominous and mysterious, the "camera work" is breathtaking. Truly an amazing job, keep it up
Suprisingly enough, this isn't the first animatic/music video I have seen for this song...But it is the first that made me tear up. And I can't even tell you why.
Can i do a cover with this sharing your channel, social medias and credits?
This questione has little to do with this gorgous animatic but out of curosity :
if you would have to side with either side of war/conflict
would you side with Troja or Greece ?
( ofc u don't know the outcome of it )
Amazing, stunning, fucking godly!
Today I found out about this musical (concept album?) exists and AAAA an animatic drawn by one of my favorite artists 😭
The part where you put "slow-mo" in text made me grin a;sldkjf and that part when he sees Penelope's apparition when he sees the baby AAAA
If this ever on stage, Zeus should definitively be played with an eagle puppet and maybe have a flash of his image when the lightning strikes.
The way he falls to the floor and Penelope and their son!! Ugh 😭😭 I can’t stop watching this
I thought Odysseus said "Diabetes will lead the charge!"
I love ajax lol
Still my favorite animatic for this song
this is amazing, I even got the chills with how the frames match with parts of the song
This is CRIMINALLY underrated what 😩
YOOOO WHAAATTTT THIS IS SOOOO GREAT! AMAZING! FABULOUS!! I NEED THE CLEAN ANIMATION VERSION. I DON'T CARE IF IT TAKES SEVERAL MONTHS 😭😭😭😭
This is so cool! Wut did u use to make this?
Love the framing of each shots and the flow of it overall! Really emphasizes the action during the war scenes, and also just the whole interaction with zeus.....chefs kiss
Please don't get rid of this
this is so freakin good this is SO freakin good this brightened up my day extremely and i love it very much
Great animatic!
Hecking amazing!! This is SO good, I can't even. You did so well!
