Say My Name- (BeetleJuice Animatic)

One of my assignments for class was to board part of this song. I have now listened to this section of the song so many times it distantly echoes in my head when I am trying to sleep.
The song is credited to the Beetlejuice the Musical.

I like how you gave them their own different designs that stand out compared to their other incarnations

[@Orangecatinahoodie]

Pretty sure they’re inspired by the animated show

[@michelveilleux1275]

Yeah, they do kinda look like a rebooted characters from the show don't they

[@xaviarsly]

ya made beetlguise look like Peter Pettigrew with a full head of hair....i love it!

I was wheezing when I saw “Cats” in his hand for “pain”. I’m not giving my opinion because fights always start like that, but I thought it was funny that a musical brings pain.

[@broblerone413]

specifically, that version of Cats had '2019' written under it, so actually i'm pretty sure people can agree that that version of Cats is painful regardless of one's opinion on the original

One of the many downsides to this actual musical is the lack of ways Beetlejuice can act in 'genuine'/believable supernatural ways.
To that end, from what I've seen of this execution, you've done a very good job of balancing both the practical and the supernatural aspects in this animatic.
On the practical side, it was particularly nice to see him actually have some poison and knives in his jacket, and one of the stand outs on the supernatural end was the simple transformation of only his head into a beetle (which, incidentally is a nice call back to the movie where the two human ghosts only stretched and morphed their heads to try and be scary {{not to be confused that I'm a degenerate who falls prey to nostalgia, because the throwing of three knives into the dummy's three vitals was well 'timed' in every sense of the word, it's just the beetle-face deserved a special mention is all}}).

Good to know I wasn't the only one who had their assigned song stuck for ages after doing their boards! I adore how you've done this, the body language is so fun and cartoony

[@badposture4968]

This is awesome!!

[@poct13]

Nice action, really underrated!

[@Ogct2999]

Why does Bugdrink remind me of an egg with arms and legs? I really like this design change cause it makes him seem more interesting, like he could just curl up into a ball and roll away or something.
