      If he doesn't have stairs to deal with he can charge Athena and spend as much of the song in her face as he can, which is ABSOLUTELY where he wants to be. He can return to his symmetrical mark after the goddess claps back.

  • @matthewschneider4758
    @matthewschneider4758 Месяц назад +373

    A couple of thoughts:
    I think this scene would work best with (6) Platforms that Rise/Lower (or 3 platforms to ease technical difficulty), that way the Gods can maintain their elevated position, but Lower at the beginning of each of their song segments to remove the awkward stairs. Each Platform would be designed/detailed respective to their God. If space is limited, then use "Thrones" of designed with varying themes below
    1. Apollo being Gold/Glowing with light.
    2. Hephaestus being a Red/Crimson and spewing Smoke like bellows
    3. Aphrodite being Pink/Purple flowery and Dainty.
    4. Ares's being made of white bones, broken weapons, shattered armor, and a torn flag. NOTE: Ares' would be the only one needed to get off his Throne so he can have a sword/spear fight with Athena during "Hold your tongue now..." (Ares will return to his throne during Hera's song in the darkness, as Hera's platform and Are's platform should be opposite each other Stage Right and Stage Left.
    5. Hera's would literally be a Disco floor with a Throne adorned by rainbow peacock/bird feathers.
    6. Zeus would be White Marble with Grey Veins, like a brewing thunderstorm. His platform has stairs at the front. After he strike's Athena with a lightning bolt, I like the flashing lights and this should be kept as-is (great work!), As the Soft Piano section plays, Pulse the lights up and down, like a Heartbeat, showing Athena struggling to get to her feet, while simultaneously showing one-at-a-time the different platforms of the initial gods. Therefore, each Pulse briefly shows Athena rising and one God's reaction to her predicament (covering mouths, reach out hands to help, etc). When the piano section plays, it should be low, gentle lighting as Athena struggles to get to her feet. When the trumpets resume, Athena should block the first few "strikes" of gold lighting (use lasers or narrow beams from Zeus/s platform) with her shield as she climbs the stairs. With each lightning bolt, she falls from a standing position, to crouching, to one knee, to both knees right at Zeus's feet. When she says "Let him go, please, let him go" the shield has fallen away, and she is hugging Zeus's feet/legs with one arm, her other hand on Zeus's arm to prevent him striking her one final time. End with stage black, her fate unknown...

    The above angle of Zeus standing over Athena is so powerful. It perfectly portrays his rank as the 'King of Gods'. I feel like Aphrodite being on the stairs to showcase how she wants to keep a distance and how she's against it would feel more powerful. Aphrodite's lyrics are also quite slow so her walking only halfway down the stairs and slowly feels more fitting for her character. I can very clearly see Aphrodite leaning on the railing with her arms and leaning slightly forward during the bit "his mother felt and ROT" and then Athena rushing up onto the stairs when she does her "please reconsider this" because she invades her personal space, she wants to get personal with it by using a softer tone and practically pleading. For Ares, I feel like the opposite would be more fitting, him rushing down the stairs during the "What kind of sick power" lyrics. And getting really close and confident up in Athena's face. I loved the lighting to represent lightning (comical) and how the yellow filled the stage when Zeus sung for the second part. Overall amazing work, I am in awe!

    2:21 For the transition to "quick thought" when the clock sound effect starts and Aphrodite gets paused, I think what would look REALLY cool is if whenever she uses that ability there's a projected image of a ticking clock on the ground in sync with the sound effect to indicate her power is overpowering the aura of the other gods around her. And when Ares appears that clock projection vanishes and they dim Athena's lights to have the colour of the red spotlights overpower her like Ares is doing in the scene

    "THUN-DER BRING-HER THROUGH THE RING-ER

    I think the two pairs: Aphrodite being Are's lover, and them being convinced through the "Bloodshed for lovers trying to unite", is a bit defeated by Athena moving out from between them and I think it would be stronger if the started of next to each others and Athena moving in between them.
    And Zeus being Hera's husband (who cheated multiple times on her) definitely needs to be present for the "he never cheated on his wife" line.

    An idea I've had for Athena's quick thought is to have all the characters wear monochromatic costumes so you can "color them in" with lighting. Then when Athena uses her time stop you can switch all lights to white to make everything greyscale while keeping a top-spot on Athena in blue, maybe with a gobo to let it bleed out of her a bit.
    Also, I love the intro you've made for Hera, but I think it'd be nice if you gave the other gods an intro for themselves as well. Maybe add some light pillars that pulse in time with the hammer strikes in the music for Hephaestus, or add a sun gobo to the floor for Apollo, a large heart on the floor for Aphrodite? Just spitballing here.

    I think there should be some lighting effect during Athena’s quick thought moments during the Aphrodite/Ares song. And then the red interrupting it. Otherwise very cool. I especially loved the ending lighting with Zeus blasting her down and then the lone spotlight in the fallen Athena. Really this is just too cool.

    AMAZING!!! Definitely like someone else's comment on the overall quick-thought lighting (totally blue for Athena, totally red for Ares), but was wondering if you had any thoughts on having the little mental image of either 1) Ody and Penelope with Baby Telemachus , or 2) just Telemachus during that quiet instrumental. (They would be downstage left or right here) In @JayHerrans's mind, that's what gives Athena more strength to make a final attempt to appeal to Zeus.

    This is so cool! With how much magic and movements the animatics have, its hard to imagine how Epic would work on a stage with real people, but this definitely brings all that evergy and i found myself seeing how the actors would be moving and what props could be used to tell the story without losing the scale and grandiose of the gods. I can see lighting being as much a character as the actual characters and their individual musical themes and motifs.
    I think my favorite part was Heras own private disco light party.

    • @RustinPlays
      @RustinPlays  Месяц назад +2

      Your exactly right! Its very hard to bring the Animatics to Stage, Especially with how Emotive they are.
      Lighting and colour is a MAJOR thing in Theatre, Most characters have a colour, or effect associated with them, as well as their music of course. (in my experience)
      This project is just my interpretation of how it would work on a Stage, I'm not a Director, but I've just done a lot of musical theatre and know how it works. Hera is 100% my favourite part too. This is not a full stage show obviously, and its hard to show something like this when there's no reference to go from.
      I really appreciate the comment, thank you heaps!

  • @nik_cage
    @nik_cage 9 дней назад +1

    Really cool concept! Id love to see a stage play.
    Apollo should float/fly down
    Aphrodite should be carried in on silk rope
    Hephestes should come down in the middle of a moving work bench while working with a hammer (similar to the canon animatic)
    Aries needs fire for his intro, maybe he comes up from the bottom as his name is being repeated and the platform rises slightly above the stage with lighting to make him look larger than life. He jumps down as he begins his verses and starts to sword fight with Athena
    Hera should remain at the top stage, disco ball, platform shoes with a lot of groove in her movements

    I’m gonna yap SO hard about my ideas for this on stage
    My thoughts were have each god’s platform to be equal in height to their ‘level’ in the ‘game’ with Apollo being the lowest and zeus being the highest. The only exception is ares,with a slightly shorter platform that Apollo. Why you may ask,so he can jump down instead of taking the stairs like the rest of the gods cuz I think it would look cool and suit him. Each gods platform would be customised,with my ideas being Aphrodite’s covered in hearts and any sort of flower to signify love,probably roses,and heras would be detailed with peacock feathers. Ok I gotta eat Il update this later

    1. I love the soft blue for Athena, have you considered having the stage all blue for Athena’s quick thought, maybe either a black out for ares saying “really Athena these old tricks” or just grey misty then BAM when we go to Ares it goes to red
    2: for the end I loved how you did it with the gold for Zeus it was fantastic, would you add some purple OR red into the lighting because of the warrior of the mind and legendary are playing and possibly instead of the slow fade maybe dimming in and out until “let him go” where we could get a solid blue light

    I loved it!!!!! Some of the lighting wffects genuinely had me going wow.
    A couple thoughts tho: Something I was thinking is that when Ares comes in I think Athena's light either needs to dim or flicker as it was clear in the animations she and Ares kind of hinder each other, so when one side comes off strong the other needs to weakens? So when Athena refutes back against Ares, her light can turn very bright for a second as if breaking the things that were binding her down? Also I think the last scene where Zeus casted the lightning bolt the rest of the gods were frightened and surprised too (Ares I think was the one thats asked if Athena was dead) but the current lighting looks a little bit like the rest of the gods were judging Athena with Zeus (not sure what to do about it personally, just giving thought about how it feels like to me).
    Aside from that everything else was phenomenal

    If it was on a high budget I would imagine individual uneven height circular pillars (like in animatics)with individual stairs, cuz some have so little lines they cant walk down and have spotlight in main stage. That way the ones with fewer lines can comfortably reach main stage if the pillar is lower. Also adding hierarchy balance visually. Just my preference.

    @liamweeks6324 День назад +1

    I really like the way you did the lighting for Zeus it really sells his power and makes him feel intimidating and threatening. if I were to give a criticism I think this is too conservative. I don't think you went far enough, for example: I think it might be more effective if Athena is given a single beam of light as opposed to an entire side of the stage to show that she is entering the other gods domains as well as maybe adding in white highlights of the projection of a clock face for when she's using quick thought, Apollo could maybe have lighting that mimics sunlight God rays or sunbeams to reference that he is a god of the sun, Hephaestus could have his lights pulse in time with the impacts of the hammer to imply flashes and sparks and shadoes, Ares could take over the stage when he appears completely erasing all other colors of light and then when Athena fights back the entire stage could go Blue for a moment. I'm not really sure what you could do with Aphrodite, but for characters with as little stage time as most of the gods here, I think more is better.

      @ Np man, I used to work backstage in old theater productions in my school and I’ve only seen people work and talk about lighting before so I don’t really know much, but I genuinely love how you took ideas from other shows lightings and made it work amazingly!! Keep going at it bro! I’m definitely subbing! 👍

    I'm sorry but Zeus must fly above as he strikes

    have you thought about the gods coming in from the sides? Like when Apollo comes down, they all exit and come in on their respective turns? but keep Zeus on a higher platform?

      I haven't, but I love that idea. Would be easier too
