I think we all know what the story in The Mind Electric is, but I’ll cover it anyways. After being found guilty, the main character is sent to some kind of ward where they try to “help” him with electro shock therapy. In the process, he either gained a mental illness, or if he actually had something before, it made it so much worse and helped to destroy his mind Which also causes him to remember things wrong, explaining the Roman/Medieval clothing/settings shown on occasion
I love it so much! And I love that the reversed part is not simply the normal video reversed, they both have those details here and there. One that I really liked is how he doesn't see "father" as a human at all in the reversed part
JABBIE!!!! OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS A MASTERPIECE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE YOUR RENDITION OF THE MIND ELECTRIC FOR MONTHS!!! AND THIS DID NOT DISAPPOINT. THE EMOTIONS, SCENERY, AND TRANSITIONS FROM SCENE TO SCENE ARE GLORIOUS. AAAAAA IM SO PROUD OF YOU GIRL 💖💖💖💫💫💫💫
THIS IS LITERALLY AMAZING I HAVE NOT SEEN MANY ANIMATICS FOR THE MIND ELECTRIC THAT RELATE TO THE SONG LYRICS! Also the fact that you animated the reverse part INDEPENDENTLY is something I have not seen anyone do yet! Amazing job I love this very much!
WEOOW!!! Aaaaa that was amazing! I think it’s really cool that you included the whole song & had two different perspectives- and there were so many characters that we got to see! :D In all it came out so well!!
I have no idea what this is is about but this is gorgeous, and I’m actually happy you used the reverse part as well as the normal/ original song. Listening to the reversed part+ the rest of the song is always so amazing it’s a shame not everyone uses the full song when they animate with it
Just came here from the Labyrinth storyboard, and like. I feel very confident in my choice of having subscribed to you after that video. This one is also absolutely amazing.
this is by far my favourite animatic by yours. the layering amount of work you put into this is beyond admirable, someone else in the comments said it already but I love how you didn't make the reverse bit just a reversed version of the same animatic that plays after the reverse, and how you included the background voices like the "you've ought to be ashamed of yourself" during this bit. I can see you also included the "axon dendrite" lyrics while they were playing in this animatic which I appreciate a lot since they are so deep in all the layers of this song but still so good. honestly this animatic is one of the most well executed animatics I've ever seen, I feel like I'm going insane myself while watching it, just like our protagonist. I hope these animatics get tons of more views in the future
1: did you come up with the physical reality vs. mythological imagery in the first place to make this song work (going from classical/pagan stuff full of togas and nymphs to a European castle full of saints, but the principle is the same)? If so it's payed off _beautifully._ 2. I was *not* expecting to be the least scared of the plague doctor in the "see how the surfs" section of all the characters present. Just- something about his acting makes him feel like a trickster mentor and that's fun to me in the middle of all this
Damn, I knew after watching the whole playlist so far, that you were gonna do wonders with this song. But I didn't expect it to be this good. First of all, making a storyboard that worked both in reverse and forward must be hard! You really did unique frames for 6 minutes straight! I admire your dedication. Every frame is worthy of a full illustration, filled with detail and symbolism, and beautifully drawn without cutting any corners. I had to pause every second to fully appreciate the fast paced ones. The Mind Electric, in my opinion, is the crown jewel of the whole album, the song where it all came crashing down- Most people probably got this animatic recommended first, so making the events take place with a medieval times aesthetic in Simon's head was brilliant! that meant the animatic can stand on its own without the prior episodes, but still benefit from the context of the other parts. The details you gave to the character designs make me rewatch this more and more. I am sorry for leaving such a long comment under your video, honestly this was gonna be much longer with me gushing more and more about the animatic, but I think I need to stop lol.
Sweet beans. You spent so much time and dedication on this I honestly couldn't tell if the video itself was suffering from compression artifacts or my internet was acting up. Because that's just how the song goes and your storyboard/animatic goes along with it. It flows together perfectly and creates this wonderful nightmare. You fused the song with your art and then produced a presentation for it. I love it. I'm here for it. I'm sticking around. Let's see what else you can do!
Thank you so much!! :D I noticed that too! There are huge drops in resolution, so I think it’s RUclips. It does not look this bad in my camera roll, so I think it’s reeeeally compressed. I do have it uploaded on Vimeo where the quality is a little better: vimeo.com/720971913
Literally best thing I've seen today, probably in months. It's like a beautiful medieval painting somehow turned into a storyboard? It's so poetic! Is there any place where i can learn the story behind this? I can piece a few things together (Sister/Girlfriend dead? Killed her on accident or was accused of it?), but i would love a book or comic if it exists!
AAaa thank you so much :,O I don’t really have anything like a book or comic, but I do have other storyboards for this story. I also have more context and concept art about this on my Instagram (@jabbiedraws) :) Oh yeah! I have a Google doc that describes the story as well: docs.google.com/document/d/1FFDdk8F7R0gQRiMjMc-R28MSHPGndlcg6IiTGvSyrlo/edit
This is so cool!!! There is so much to say but I don't know how to say it it's just so pretty!! Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but did the main character get a lobotomy at the end?
Wow this is amazing!! So well done, I can't believe this is the first time I'm watching this, honestly your drawing and animation skills are incredible! .... May I ask if these characters you portray are part of an original story of yours or you wanted to portray the actual characters of the "musical" Hawaii: part II ?
Thank you so much!! :D The characters and story in this are from my interpretation of the album Hawaii: Part II. So it’s kind of an original story based on the album if that makes sense?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I use Procreate for drawing everything, then iMovie for video editing! (I’m looking to find better video editing software once I buy a laptop though haha!)
Thank you for bringing this to my attention! I have a warning at the beginning which in hindsight I should have kept on the screen for waaay longer. I will add a warning in the title! :)

I love how you did the reverse bits
Best story board of this so far.

WHAT I got literal chills watching this
OANSNSJSJ IM FLATTERED
this is so amazing!!! i haven't seen anyone use the reversed part yet, and the way you tied this all together was so neat.
Wow, the best animatic for this song that I’ve seen))) perfect!
Omg, it’s a series! Even better!
I’m flattered :,D thank you!!
OH MY GOSH IM SPEECHLESS THIS IS AMAZING
OWNSIWBWJBW THANK YOOOUUUU!!
Wow this is so good!!!! I've never seen a Mind Electric animatic that uses the reverse version, but you pulled it off so well !! :D
Thank you!! :D
this is incredible! i love the glitching effects
Just found your channel, this is UNDERRATED it must've took so long, and your art is amazing 👏
Thank yoooouu!!! :D

That’s a really interesting question! I like that you pointed that out. It wasn’t really intentional, it’s cool that you noticed! :D
THIS IS LITERALLY SO GOOD
THISIS AWESOME!! This definitely deserves more views istg
AAAA THANK YOUU :,D
i honestly love your interpretation of murders+the mind electric a lot
I just binged the entire series, and it’s amazing!! The art and the story are both so impressive! This is so underrated imo
Thank you so much for taking the time to do that aaah!! :,)💕💕💕

Wait that’s a cool idea :O I’m gonna try that too hahahaaa
THIS OS AMAZING
