Masquerade/Why So Silent? - Phantom of the Opera Animatic

  • Hey! I guess I'm returning back to a video format I hadn't made for a while, the musical animatic. About a year ago when I say the Phantom of the Opera on Broadway for the first time, (Lucky timing! January 2020!) I fell in love with the story and characters, and I felt like specifically this scene was one of the strongest points in the show. I forgot about this video concept when I found out about the other world and joined my band Theta, but upon going through some old computer files, I rediscovered some concept art I had made for this animatic. So, I decided to make the whole thing!!! Hope you like it :)
    For anyone who wants to watch the Phantom Story in it's entirety from home, I suggest skipping the movie adaptation and watching the 25th anniversary recording of the show. Better cast, more faithful to the original, and it's from 2011, the best year to ever exist! :')
    Also if you like the Phantom story, please watch A Monster in Paris it is a loose adaptation and it's my favorite movie right now. The soundtrack is genuinely phenomenal and even though there's no Masquerade scene, it doesn't need it. It's just that good.
    Okay! Gotta go, goodbye!!

    The way Christine is scared of everyone in masks is just ugh! *chef kiss*

    This is incredible! I love how you had Erik actually look distraught and heartbroken when he realized that Christine was engaged to Raoul. It makes you feel for him more, since that scene can often times just look like he's just trying to lord over his power and control over her. But here, it looks more like he's acting out of anger caused by his broken heart and jealousy. Which makes it so much better in my opinion. :D

      Agreed 100 %. I also love the addition in the dance break number of Christine constantly thinking that the phantom is right there, only for it to be just another party member. That adds a lot of tension, and really shows her constant fear of being trapped as a prisoner to The Phantom.
      It would also be really cool if at 3:41, we see the shadow of Phantom (in Red Death outfit) start to emerge on the wall from the ground-up (indicating that he has just arrived at the top of the staircase.) Christine then notices the shadow, and turns around in horror to see The Phantom (Red Death) in all his terrifying glory. Everyone else at the ball freezes (some may scream in fear), and then turn towards the Phantom as well.

      Thank you for your comment! Very interesting visual description, if I made it now I'd definitely incorporate more shadows. I've learned and grown as an artist a lot since I've made this video, but I still love phantom of the opera!

    I am so happy that there are more phantom of the opera animatics being made T-T I remember searching for some about 2-3 years ago and there were hardly any back then. Regardless, this was beautiful! I loved it :D

    Absolutely LOVE how you did this scene. Christine never truly comfortable surrounded by the masks, til it grows to an almost anxiety of it. The only truly happy or calm moments is when she's back with Raoul, keeping her grounded and safe. Plus there is something so endearing with the style being such a cute fun cartoon. So when it takes a serious turn it really pops! And the long shot we have for Erik, the emotions he goes through upon seeing Christine, the ring, and finally his proclamation. So good!

    You know what's said many people probably wouldn't have died if Christine had respected his personal bubble request or talked to him with madam girdy. I love this animatic, you express show much and I can see how the characters felt. Brava!! Bravissimo!!

      The role has traditionally been sung by tenors. Baritones can sing his parts, though they still require range to pull it off. Personally, I wouldn’t mind hearing a bass play him (though it would cause complications for the Dpn Juan scene). But I actually think the creepy tenor works for this scene; it just sounds more “ghostly”, while baritones / bass sound more “vampire-y”, if that makes sense.

      Just checked your channel, interesting! I'm also a big fan of The Theif and the Cobbler.
      I might revisit this project some day, especially since The Phantom of the Opera just closed on Broadway last night. I have definitely grown as an artist and animator since making this.
