I've just noticed something. When Adam is with his lover before he was arrested, the bridge of his nose is flat, and his nose is straight. But when he is being brought to be hanged, his nose is bleeding, and he has a bump on the bridge of his nose and his nose itself is visibly crooked. And in the song "Angel's Embrace", Adam can be heard breathing somewhat difficulty. It's no wonder he has a hard time breathing, this poor man has an unset and most likely untreated deformed broken nose.
For whatever reason, the person who plays the creature has such a bone chilling way of delivering lines. Not to mention this animation showing the expressions perfectly !
I think its because his voice is really not people are used to hearing in song, its not melodic, it's like the creature is using the music as a background for singing rather than singing along to the music, and it makes all the difference.
Man, I can feel what he’s feeling in this song; the sorrow, the bouts of anger, the fear, even the confusion he felt about his past life. You captured those feelings very well here, amazing work!
“Fun” fact: Mary Shelly based the story of Frankenstein on something that actually happened irl. A scientist tried to bring a prisoner back to life who was hanged for murdering his family. In the book, Mary made it a bunch of dead corpses, but the musical had the monster be just be one guy for casting purposes.
No,,,, Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" was inspired by a nightmare she had on holiday to Villa Diodati near Lake Geneva. Lord Byron (their host) had challenged the group (Mary, Percy Shelley, John Polidori, and himself) to write the best horror story and so they all wrote their stories and hers was "Frankenstein"(The book also has a lot of nods at her own life). Another book that came out of this challenge is the book "The Vampire", a book written by Dr. John Polidori!
Not gonna lie, I came back here after watching the musical and reading the Mary Shelly book, and the animation still hits. Gotta love some Creature animatics even if they aren’t 100% cannon lore, still cool to think of the “what if’s” and explore those possible situations.
Lyrics: These hands, How I fear for these hands. How I wonder if ever had these hands been held with compassion, Could they do what they've done, These hands? What of these eyes? Blind with hate are these eyes. Could it once be that someone gazed into these eyes with affection, And saw good deep within These eyes? And why, Having tasted of vengeance, Do these lips curl with madness and pain, crying in vain? A soul that could love is now helplessly chained to these hands! And these ears still hear her crying, And will never know laughter or song, ever so long As blood of the innocent runs red upon these hands! These detestable hands! And this terrible hide, with its poison inside, Hated limbs and foul heart, I would tear them apart, If I only could feel what I felt when I held her within These hands! Unforgiving, unmerciful hands! These unfeeling, contemptible hands! And our end will not come 'Till justice is done, By this man!
This is absolutely heartbreaking, the imagry brings the song to live even moreso than on the soundtrack. It's perfect! I also have to comment that you made the Creature cute but I am biased because he's cute in every version and I just want to hug him.
Okay, I have written a comment here before, but I was just thinking: what if the man’s wife and later, the creature’s bride was the same person all along? Who would it be if my theory was real? Which character from the book and the musical is the closest to be his love? My answer: Justine. I will explain: We hear about Justine shortly after Victor goes to the university. Justine came back to the Frankenstein’s family, because, she said, that to help in family and be a substitution for mother role to William. Justine was like a sister to Victor, just like Elizabeth, she grew up with them, was close to Victor, probably same age as Victor, just with the difference that Elizabeth was an orphan of rich parents, whereas Justine was coming from not the richest family in Geneva. But back to my point: she wasn’t living with them at the time when Victor went to the university. What would happen until then? She fell in love with a man. A man, who later became our Adam. They were lovers, could have lived either in Switzerland, or Italy, or in Germany. The mistake has happened and the man was falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to death. This would have happened in Ingolstadt, for time and place setting, because in musical, the man was re-sewn with other dead bodies parts and reanimated by Frankenstein shortly after that. They could have been passing by the city while travelling, or they could be visiting the man’s family in Ingolstadt. The man would be then falsely accused of some crime and so later hanged. Justine had no power of stopping an execution and had no other choice than returning to Geneva, back to the Frankensteins with a made-up justification, of helping in the family. She couldn’t tell them the real reason she ran away from them and the real reason she came back. Frankensteins were catholic, and she would be kind of ostracised by religious people for sleeping with a man before marriage, moreover, a man that was sentenced to death for a crime. So she stayed silent and took care of William, trying to move on from her dead lover, trying to forget by loving little William. While creature was escaping from Delaceys to Geneva for a revenge against Victor, he could have kinda remembered something from his past life, about Justine living in Geneva, so we can theorise that he wanted to revenge on Victor and getting his Justine back. However, in the musical, we hear Justine say: "I saw some kind of demon...". I assume the creature found her after William’s murder and tried to tell her that her lover and the monster are the same person, but she freaked out and so did the creature. Creature panicked and dropped the locked which he used to strangle poor William in rage in the forest. Now why I think it can be Justine the most. I will help my theory by a book. Elizabeth was asking Justine why she accepted the sentence and even admitted that she murdered little William. Justine answered something along those lines, that her sins will be forgiven by God if she died like a martyr, falsely accused and innocent. Again, what crime she would mean? Fornication. And then later, it would make sense why the creature wanted Victor to make his bride from the Justine’s dead body. And the song: These hands, would be explained the way you did, but with Justine. Bam! We got a theory. Thanks to anyone for stopping by to read my silly theory :)
This is an amazing theory. I've heard that the body that Victor used to create the creature's bride was Justine, but this theory makes sense why in the book Justine deemed herself guilty of William's murder even though she was innocent. Great theory!👍.
I watched your “why “ animatic like ten times and decided to look up other Frankenstein animatics only to find you posted another amazing one! I subscribed and ready for the awesome animatics you’ll make in the future!
The broken reflection in the mirror is such a beautiful and tragic metaphor. Very clever! I guess you could call it... heart *breaking* Hehehehe....oh god-
OH GOODNESS, WHERE TO START! Firstly, I ADORE this AU idea - anything that involves Adam's past is fascinating to me, and so your spin on the lyrics and meaning is just so clever (and heartbreaking, my goodness!) Also, those expressions? Perfection! Matching the rythm and build up of the music beautifully! Also I gotta point out that excelent scene at 0:45 when he's frightenend by the steam! Ah! Great use of that musical cue! Wonderful work as usual and best of luck with whatever you do next!
Awww, I feel so bad for him. His longing for affection is so sad and beautiful at the same time. I would definitely show compassion to him. Despite him being brought back from the dead.
No words can express how emotional I got when the contrast between the monster feeling the hanging noose around his neck when his past self (Adam) was executed. That got me and the facial expressions were spot on, it made me wonder who the woman he's visualizing as both Adam and the creature actually is
As much as I want to know Adam's backstory, I think they left it out for narrative purposes. At least I interpreted it in that way. I think the point of Adam is that he was not desired or loved by anyone even before his reanimation. No one defendet him on trial, no one took his body. I assume he didnt have family or people who could do proper funeral for him, or perhaps they kicked him out after being falsely accused of crime. The point is, Adam still holds same believes after his death, that the world is cruel, filled with darkness and hate, that its lonely. Adams speculations about his past could just be a desperate hope that at least before hanging he experienced love. Like a sort of coping mechanism. But those speculations lead to creation only hating his current body and self more.
The expressions here are FANTASTIC, as is the choreography, and how Adam is just constantly weeping- the best portrayal of him IMO- and just. everything!! the emotion in the song is conveyed SO WELL. did i mention the expressions???
The emotions you see in Adam when he's singing are amazing! And the bits of his past and the mirror...I was crying because I felt his pain and wanted to hold him. I can't wait for the next one you do!
I am absolutely speechless right now, but I feel like I should just say: holy shit. This is incredible! Everything about this is just so mesmerizing! The expressions, the frame rate, the perspectives - I’m in awe. This is beautiful.
Yay you're back!! this is so cool! I LOVE the way you draw the facial expressions and the part where the creature breaks the mirror and sees his face in the shattered glass is one of my favorite parts. i like how everything is gray except the blood because it makes it stand out. all of your animatics are so great and creative
@@miasen um...hi ^^ :) I like your frankenstein animation and I was wondering who was the man with the ponytail and women in the song animation ? Was it frankenstein when he use to be alive with his wife ?
The way you drew the expressions are so perfect, especially the fluidity of the movement with the expressions. Creature remembering bits of his past life is so well shown here!
Where to begin this is absolutely breathtaking. You put so much emotion into such a short song! And at first I thought the women was Justine but my god just wow. This is by far one of the most amazing animatics I’ve ever seen, and just this was wonderful, I had to watch it three times just really take it in. You did such an excellent job, Mary Shelly herself would be proud 💙💗💕
YOO, THE RYTHMN? THE EMOTIONS? WHAT IS THIS, A DELETED SCENE FROM A MOVIE? Seriously, it looks super polished and all the different shots go flow perfectly together, there's not a single moment where anything feels out of place- great job! **
I like the way how you explained the song in this animatic. Not him thinking about a small glimpse of attention he got from Elizabeth, who was a loving friend and wife of his selfish creator, or his sadness about the miserable murder of his bride-to-be, but rather about his past life and his lover... nice idea, I must say, and it makes a perfect sense to me :) And it is nicely drawn, I saw your previous animatic and I see progress, especially in the perspective, and as a whole, it looks very pretty :D (Speaking of your AU, there is unofficial canon in the musical fandom, that the corpse Adam was primarily made of was of a convicted man, as it is shown in the musical, but the canon is, that he was sentenced to death for murdering his wife and a family, and of course, he was innocent. So your theory would make a continuity and a perfect sense to the fandom canon :D)
thank you so much!! and yesss wrongfully convicted adam is the best. i tried to make it so that he was wrongfully hanged and has this deep desire to be with his wife again, but he doesnt remember her until after he kills elizabeth. 👀
@@miasen I adore the idea. I haven’t seen this theory before, but even now I am thinking of this and it gives a whole new level to the story, and I thought I know every theory about this musical. And yes, falsely convicted Adam is a theory that gives even more depth and fresh meaning to the character of a creature.
Honestly the musical version of the creature is probably the most interesting character, since the guy he was before he was hanged (or the main body anyway, most likely that guy's brain was used so the nearest), I just want to know his backstory and how he got convicted of whatever he did. At my uni (I study musical theatre) we had a module where some people would direct a portion of a musical of their choice and others would be in it, and we were allowed to put our own spin on it, if I had known of this musical then I would have so done it, and given this guy a back story. Basically mine would be (Trigger warning: Abuse, rape, sexual harassment, suicide) He firstly grew up experiencing a lot of abuse for some reason (probably from his parents if he ever had a family and from everyone in the town), and then later had a wife (the woman he is having flashes of here) who was the only person he ever really loved and who ever loved him and was kind to him, but they were very poor, and became servants to a very rich, respected and powerful man in Ingolstadt, who was also an awful person and abused them both horrifically, including sexually harassing the guy's wife and being awful to him cos he wanted his wife. Later it all comes to breaking point when this rich man violently rapes the wife, and she is so traumatised by this horrible experience and all the other hardship that she commits suicide, with the only person he has ever loved dead, the guy kills his employer cos as far as he's concerned he killed his wife, and because he is already looked down on, and this man is incredibly respected and important (and hides the fact he's actually a total monster he was probably a philanthropist and stuff on the surface and had a reputation for being awesome but was depraved and awful behind closed doors), he is seen as evil, and maybe there are also rumours that the wife was consensually sleeping with the rich man and he killed her as well when this is not true (yes there are Sweeney Todd parallels here haha). Edit: 'still hear her crying' might not be referring to Elizabeth but his wife after she was raped). Another edit, another idea, same trigger warnings but with pedophilia/child sexual abuse added, His wife died in childbirth and left him with an infant daughter, when he started working for the evil guy his daughter was about six and the evil guy started molesting her, she later told him what the bad guy was doing and he told him to stop, but then the bad guy killed the daughter for telling her father and similarly, he kills his employer for that. I also cant help feeling he could be some kind of marginalised minority, which would be a reason why he is hated so much and the population have such a bias against him and want to see him die.
As much as I love the idea of Adam being so inhumane to end up as something very inhuman... I think it’s also interesting to consider the idea that Adam never did anything wrong at all. In Amen, he seems to be a very faithful man, using his last days on Earth as himself questioning why are people doing this to him. He doesn’t seem very worried in his last moments, relying all of his faith in a higher power (unaware the new higher power in his life will be a depressed rich college dropout). Imagine the irony of Adam imagining this life as a punishment for what happened in the last and despising himself as a concept when really, he shouldn’t have been here in the first place: He was an innocent man in his past life. And perhaps that says something about specifically the Musical Victor. Book Victor took bits and pieces from the recently deceased, never having any knowledge of how they ended up in the ground. Musical Victor was present for the hanging of a man he believed was a criminal regardless of the true fact, so maybe he felt it was fine to use his body since he’s worthless anyway, even though that’s *entirely false* It helps that this all also happened to Justine, an innocent woman strung up for the murder she did not commit. Perhaps she really would’ve been Adam’s perfect wife, if their situations really were identical in that sense, knowingly or not
As a huge Frankenstein fan, I have to tell you that you've created a masterpiece. The expressions are so real. You really can feel his pain. Great work! Keep it up
holy s h i t,, I'm sure most anything original to be said has been said and rightly so but I'd like to join the chorus here by saying I dunno what I was expecting but this is?? So Masterful?? I'm borderline winded like Holy shit. the way the music crescendos and he bumps into the table so things start breaking around him, the way flashes of the criminal's life join with his own, no time to even wonder why he knows the feeling of a noose around his neck so intimately when he's as busy with it as he is the rest,, god just. wow. I'm so ridiculously impressed?? So impressed. what a piece of art this is fr. a beautiful animatic in both the visuals and the dang Directions. and the colors!!!! man the colors. bless you frrr
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS I LOVE IT SO MUCH THANK YOU!!! I never heard this song and thought about how he might have had a love life before being hanged. I loved seeing that in this animatic and the expressions? 💯
Oh my GOD. I knew he was super baby in this song, but you just captured that so well ALL my feels came gushing. Amazing work, this is definately one of my favorite animatics I've seen so far.
IM LOSING MY MIND THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG AND YOU DREW IT SO WELL?? FAM THE FACT HE REMEMBERED HIS PAST LIFE IN THIS IS MAKING ME GO FERAL I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
oh my GOD that was so good !?! like ??? holy shit, i have tears in my eyes, i loved this so much! the art ? fantastic ! the au you came up with ? incredible! it's so great, i can't believe i didn't find this sooner (though, this only came out a week ago but that's IRRELEVANT). i loved this so much ! amazing job !!
Okay 1) holy CRAP is this gorgeous. The expressions?????? Oh my god. Also maybe it's weird to say but the way you draw hands and feet is so GOOD like so dynamic and good. 2) honestly i like this 'au' idea better. I love the idea of Adam remembering bits of who he used to be it just ups the tragic factor a LOT.
Arghh I can’t stop watching this animatic over and over the frames are so messy yet filled with detail and life. You have a true talent and I can’t wait to see what you do in the future
I love the design! So far it's the most book accurate design I've seen for the creature! You got the cape, the barefeet and long hair right too! Thank you for taking the time to add more details to this amazing character and making him correct!
aaaAAAAAA OMG I LOVE THIS!! Your animatics are so AMAZING and this one was just 😭❤❤❤ the expressions when he was on his knees and all the movement and all the REFERENCES TO HIS PAST AAAAAA I LOVE ❤❤❤ TY FOR CONTRIBUTING TO THIS FANDOM 🥺❤❤🙏💖💖
This is so goood.... SO GOOD!! I love the dynamics in the perspectives and the creature turning and the expressions are so good!!! And at 1:18 when the mirror breaks and there's the shot of the creature in the broken mirror, all broken and twisted and exactly at the lyrics "this terrible hide with its poison inside".........! I am in AWE!! You are so good at storyboarding!!! And I love how you draw the creature!!!
this is really amazing, I love the expressions. But I also just can't get over the range of the creature's voice. Edit: I'm dying, I was watching it again when I got the notification for the heart
THANK YOU FOR MAKING ANIMATICS FOR MY FAVORITE MUSICAL AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR SINGLEHANDEDLY KILLING ME WITH THIS i'm sorry for capslock but I am somewhat emotionally overcome, this was a painful delight
So so so sooooooo good!!! From the expressions framing ah it's beautiful you can hear the pain in his voice in the song and you conveyed that sooooo well with your art also amazing art style!!! Magnificent work!!!😁😁😁
Do you ever see something that's so incredibly well made you have no words to express how it makes you feel? This is one of those things for me. My word. Absolutely phenomenal work.
I was going to do a specific time stamp for a frame that made me feel Emotions(tm), but then I realized... uh oh it's the whole thing this is unimaginably well done
I'm crying, I'm crying so hard. I'm in love with this!! IT'S UUGHFDJ I can't even begin to explain how wondrous this is!! CREATURE BACKSTORY, using this song! Its frickin perfect gossksksk you did such a great job, even more then great to be completely honest,,,💚💚
Honestly, thank you sooo much! Your animatics are amazing and have turned an amazing musical into something even greater. Please take this as full value when I say, keep up the AMAZING work!
Ah yes. And so it begin. I watch a random musical animatic and then that’s what gets me into it. You are the chosen one in this case lol. Fantastic job the expressions and poses are so wonderful and anguished. Freaking lovely.
Dude I got MAD goosebumps watching and hearing this...you’re INSANELY talented!!!!! Immediately subscribing (and I don’t normally sub to animatic channels, that’s how fucking good this was!) Keep up the good work!!!! 💖👌🏻
First off, OW MY HEART! Second, this is a work of art and you should be proud of yourself. Third, now I’m wondering what might have happened had the woman here found the Creature and recognized him and he her…. Thoughts, anyone?
I don’t get how you just know what to do. The expressions, the music interaction, the story, the movement and the flow, it’s all so good. I don’t know what you do but your work just hits that spot
I'm not crying, I'm not crying, I'm not crying ... Damn. But seriously, I love this theory about Adam's past and his deep emotions and feelings captured in this animation. Your art make us feel sorry for Creature's tragic past and his unfair death, but mostly - for his poor lover, who after his death was left alone in cruel world. After watching this, sometimes I wonder : " Will Adam meet his wife/lover again ? How would he/she react to this meeting?" Though we know, it probably never will ... Anyway your work is very amazing! P.S. Sorry for my english, I'm trying to write correctly
OH SHIT YOU GAVE HIM A BACKSTORY This song already hit hard now it's hitting harder :') I love this so much. I knew it was gonna be good when I saw the thumbnail and it was even BETTER than I imagined!!
i literally cant help but watch this on loop just, the acting decisions and expressions and i rly appreciate all the choices you made with this, the beats and transitions and only as much color as you needed and i just keep going 'hm it will be fine if i watch it again right away :)'

"A soul that can love is now helplessly chained to these hands."
OKAY
No matter how many times I listen to this that line still stabs me right in the heart.
I've just noticed something. When Adam is with his lover before he was arrested, the bridge of his nose is flat, and his nose is straight. But when he is being brought to be hanged, his nose is bleeding, and he has a bump on the bridge of his nose and his nose itself is visibly crooked. And in the song "Angel's Embrace", Adam can be heard breathing somewhat difficulty.

Damn that sucks. Thanks for pointing it out
I'm not surprised victor never fixed that
For whatever reason, the person who plays the creature has such a bone chilling way of delivering lines. Not to mention this animation showing the expressions perfectly !
I think its because his voice is really not people are used to hearing in song, its not melodic, it's like the creature is using the music as a background for singing rather than singing along to the music, and it makes all the difference.
@@woooooooooooooooooooooooo bro you’re so right either you’re a music whiz or I’m just dense
@ruthlucille9824 You're not dense lol
Me when I draw everything on the same layer
Oof
I chortled ‘cause honestly same, I tried doing that today and I just couldn’t
IM CRYING LMFAO😭
I can’t get over the expressions and how beautifully they’re convey throughout the animatic...I LOVE THEM
Man, I can feel what he’s feeling in this song; the sorrow, the bouts of anger, the fear, even the confusion he felt about his past life. You captured those feelings very well here, amazing work!

Wait someone actually tried this? Okay now I'm curious if that even worked. (I doubt it but still, curiosity.)
@@shmoop6496 i mean, probably not, but we have sort of brought ppl back to life

I SMELL AN UNDERATTED ARTIST
Lyrics:
These hands,
How I fear for these hands.
How I wonder if ever had these hands been held with compassion,
Could they do what they've done,
These hands?
What of these eyes?
Blind with hate are these eyes.
Could it once be that someone gazed into these eyes with affection,
And saw good deep within
These eyes?
And why,
Having tasted of vengeance,
Do these lips curl with madness and pain, crying in vain?
A soul that could love is now helplessly chained to these hands!
And these ears still hear her crying,
And will never know laughter or song, ever so long
As blood of the innocent runs red upon these hands!
These detestable hands!
And this terrible hide, with its poison inside,
Hated limbs and foul heart, I would tear them apart,
If I only could feel what I felt when I held her within
These hands!
Unforgiving, unmerciful hands!
These unfeeling, contemptible hands!
And our end will not come
'Till justice is done,
By this man!
Thanks for the lyrics my friend :)

This is absolutely heartbreaking, the imagry brings the song to live even moreso than on the soundtrack. It's perfect!
I also have to comment that you made the Creature cute but I am biased because he's cute in every version and I just want to hug him.
first, thank you, and second, or COURSE i made him cute! i also want to be held in his big strong arms :-)
Okay, I have written a comment here before, but I was just thinking: what if the man’s wife and later, the creature’s bride was the same person all along?
Who would it be if my theory was real? Which character from the book and the musical is the closest to be his love?
My answer: Justine.
I will explain:
We hear about Justine shortly after Victor goes to the university. Justine came back to the Frankenstein’s family, because, she said, that to help in family and be a substitution for mother role to William.
Justine was like a sister to Victor, just like Elizabeth, she grew up with them, was close to Victor, probably same age as Victor, just with the difference that Elizabeth was an orphan of rich parents, whereas Justine was coming from not the richest family in Geneva.
But back to my point: she wasn’t living with them at the time when Victor went to the university. What would happen until then?
She fell in love with a man. A man, who later became our Adam.
They were lovers, could have lived either in Switzerland, or Italy, or in Germany. The mistake has happened and the man was falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to death.
This would have happened in Ingolstadt, for time and place setting, because in musical, the man was re-sewn with other dead bodies parts and reanimated by Frankenstein shortly after that.
They could have been passing by the city while travelling, or they could be visiting the man’s family in Ingolstadt. The man would be then falsely accused of some crime and so later hanged.
Justine had no power of stopping an execution and had no other choice than returning to Geneva, back to the Frankensteins with a made-up justification, of helping in the family.
She couldn’t tell them the real reason she ran away from them and the real reason she came back.
Frankensteins were catholic, and she would be kind of ostracised by religious people for sleeping with a man before marriage, moreover, a man that was sentenced to death for a crime. So she stayed silent and took care of William, trying to move on from her dead lover, trying to forget by loving little William.
While creature was escaping from Delaceys to Geneva for a revenge against Victor, he could have kinda remembered something from his past life, about Justine living in Geneva, so we can theorise that he wanted to revenge on Victor and getting his Justine back.
However, in the musical, we hear Justine say: "I saw some kind of demon...".
I assume the creature found her after William’s murder and tried to tell her that her lover and the monster are the same person, but she freaked out and so did the creature. Creature panicked and dropped the locked which he used to strangle poor William in rage in the forest.
Now why I think it can be Justine the most. I will help my theory by a book. Elizabeth was asking Justine why she accepted the sentence and even admitted that she murdered little William. Justine answered something along those lines, that her sins will be forgiven by God if she died like a martyr, falsely accused and innocent.
Again, what crime she would mean?
Fornication.
And then later, it would make sense why the creature wanted Victor to make his bride from the Justine’s dead body.
And the song: These hands, would be explained the way you did, but with Justine.
Bam! We got a theory.
Thanks to anyone for stopping by to read my silly theory :)
I actually like this theory a lot
This is an amazing theory. I've heard that the body that Victor used to create the creature's bride was Justine, but this theory makes sense why in the book Justine deemed herself guilty of William's murder even though she was innocent. Great theory!👍.

RIGHT? i honestly don't tend to feel emotion at media, so believe me when I say those expressions made my heart ACHE
I am absolutely speechless right now, but I feel like I should just say: holy shit. This is incredible! Everything about this is just so mesmerizing! The expressions, the frame rate, the perspectives - I’m in awe. This is beautiful.
thank you so much!!
YOUR WAY OF EXPRESSING?? WITH THE CREATURE???? MOVEMENT?? EVERYTHING?? GAHH. You're an inspiration to me I love your animatics
I love the idea of this au! One of the best things about is it gives more weight to how Adam thought having a bride would make him happy😢
Yay you're back!!
this is so cool! I LOVE the way you draw the facial expressions and the part where the creature breaks the mirror and sees his face in the shattered glass is one of my favorite parts. i like how everything is gray except the blood because it makes it stand out. all of your animatics are so great and creative
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
@@miasen um...hi ^^ :) I like your frankenstein animation and I was wondering who was the man with the ponytail and women in the song animation ? Was it frankenstein when he use to be alive with his wife ?
The way you drew the expressions are so perfect, especially the fluidity of the movement with the expressions. Creature remembering bits of his past life is so well shown here!
Where to begin this is absolutely breathtaking. You put so much emotion into such a short song! And at first I thought the women was Justine but my god just wow. This is by far one of the most amazing animatics I’ve ever seen, and just this was wonderful, I had to watch it three times just really take it in. You did such an excellent job, Mary Shelly herself would be proud 💙💗💕
WOW THANK YOU SO MUCH!! thats really sweet of you :,)
YOO, THE RYTHMN? THE EMOTIONS? WHAT IS THIS, A DELETED SCENE FROM A MOVIE? Seriously, it looks super polished and all the different shots go flow perfectly together, there's not a single moment where anything feels out of place- great job! **
I absolutely adore how elegant the hands and the poses are and the facial expressions 😍😍😍😍😍😍
I cannot stop watching this
This song gets me every time. Creature’s pain is so perfectly expressed in a way that is so easy to empathize with. God he needs a hug so bad.
I like the way how you explained the song in this animatic. Not him thinking about a small glimpse of attention he got from Elizabeth, who was a loving friend and wife of his selfish creator, or his sadness about the miserable murder of his bride-to-be, but rather about his past life and his lover... nice idea, I must say, and it makes a perfect sense to me :)
And it is nicely drawn, I saw your previous animatic and I see progress, especially in the perspective, and as a whole, it looks very pretty :D
(Speaking of your AU, there is unofficial canon in the musical fandom, that the corpse Adam was primarily made of was of a convicted man, as it is shown in the musical, but the canon is, that he was sentenced to death for murdering his wife and a family, and of course, he was innocent.
So your theory would make a continuity and a perfect sense to the fandom canon :D)
thank you so much!! and yesss wrongfully convicted adam is the best. i tried to make it so that he was wrongfully hanged and has this deep desire to be with his wife again, but he doesnt remember her until after he kills elizabeth. 👀
@@miasen I adore the idea. I haven’t seen this theory before, but even now I am thinking of this and it gives a whole new level to the story, and I thought I know every theory about this musical.
And yes, falsely convicted Adam is a theory that gives even more depth and fresh meaning to the character of a creature.
Honestly the musical version of the creature is probably the most interesting character, since the guy he was before he was hanged (or the main body anyway, most likely that guy's brain was used so the nearest), I just want to know his backstory and how he got convicted of whatever he did.
At my uni (I study musical theatre) we had a module where some people would direct a portion of a musical of their choice and others would be in it, and we were allowed to put our own spin on it, if I had known of this musical then I would have so done it, and given this guy a back story.
Basically mine would be (Trigger warning: Abuse, rape, sexual harassment, suicide)
He firstly grew up experiencing a lot of abuse for some reason (probably from his parents if he ever had a family and from everyone in the town), and then later had a wife (the woman he is having flashes of here) who was the only person he ever really loved and who ever loved him and was kind to him, but they were very poor, and became servants to a very rich, respected and powerful man in Ingolstadt, who was also an awful person and abused them both horrifically, including sexually harassing the guy's wife and being awful to him cos he wanted his wife. Later it all comes to breaking point when this rich man violently rapes the wife, and she is so traumatised by this horrible experience and all the other hardship that she commits suicide, with the only person he has ever loved dead, the guy kills his employer cos as far as he's concerned he killed his wife, and because he is already looked down on, and this man is incredibly respected and important (and hides the fact he's actually a total monster he was probably a philanthropist and stuff on the surface and had a reputation for being awesome but was depraved and awful behind closed doors), he is seen as evil, and maybe there are also rumours that the wife was consensually sleeping with the rich man and he killed her as well when this is not true (yes there are Sweeney Todd parallels here haha).
Edit: 'still hear her crying' might not be referring to Elizabeth but his wife after she was raped).
Another edit, another idea, same trigger warnings but with pedophilia/child sexual abuse added,
His wife died in childbirth and left him with an infant daughter, when he started working for the evil guy his daughter was about six and the evil guy started molesting her, she later told him what the bad guy was doing and he told him to stop, but then the bad guy killed the daughter for telling her father and similarly, he kills his employer for that.
I also cant help feeling he could be some kind of marginalised minority, which would be a reason why he is hated so much and the population have such a bias against him and want to see him die.
As much as I love the idea of Adam being so inhumane to end up as something very inhuman... I think it’s also interesting to consider the idea that Adam never did anything wrong at all.
In Amen, he seems to be a very faithful man, using his last days on Earth as himself questioning why are people doing this to him. He doesn’t seem very worried in his last moments, relying all of his faith in a higher power (unaware the new higher power in his life will be a depressed rich college dropout).
Imagine the irony of Adam imagining this life as a punishment for what happened in the last and despising himself as a concept when really, he shouldn’t have been here in the first place: He was an innocent man in his past life.
And perhaps that says something about specifically the Musical Victor. Book Victor took bits and pieces from the recently deceased, never having any knowledge of how they ended up in the ground. Musical Victor was present for the hanging of a man he believed was a criminal regardless of the true fact, so maybe he felt it was fine to use his body since he’s worthless anyway, even though that’s *entirely false*
It helps that this all also happened to Justine, an innocent woman strung up for the murder she did not commit. Perhaps she really would’ve been Adam’s perfect wife, if their situations really were identical in that sense, knowingly or not
As a huge Frankenstein fan, I have to tell you that you've created a masterpiece. The expressions are so real. You really can feel his pain. Great work! Keep it up
THIS IS PERFECT!! you had put so much feeling on this and i loved it
THIS ANIMATIC IS FUELING MY HYPERFIXATION!!!
holy s h i t,, I'm sure most anything original to be said has been said and rightly so but I'd like to join the chorus here by saying I dunno what I was expecting but this is?? So Masterful?? I'm borderline winded like Holy shit. the way the music crescendos and he bumps into the table so things start breaking around him, the way flashes of the criminal's life join with his own, no time to even wonder why he knows the feeling of a noose around his neck so intimately when he's as busy with it as he is the rest,, god just. wow. I'm so ridiculously impressed?? So impressed. what a piece of art this is fr. a beautiful animatic in both the visuals and the dang Directions. and the colors!!!! man the colors. bless you frrr
OHMYGOSH,,, thank you SO MUCH!!! “borderline winded” im crYING
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS I LOVE IT SO MUCH THANK YOU!!!
I never heard this song and thought about how he might have had a love life before being hanged. I loved seeing that in this animatic and the expressions? 💯
this was so good and the cracked mirror showing a deformed face was such a good detail, augh my heart
This animatic feels so high effort and high quality, and it makes the song feel like it’s one of the more difficult songs from this show to sing!
Bro, I love this so much
Edit: I’m addicted. This is my favorite Frankenstein song and this animatic is great.
Oh my GOD. I knew he was super baby in this song, but you just captured that so well ALL my feels came gushing. Amazing work, this is definately one of my favorite animatics I've seen so far.
I love this so much, always nice to see more animatics of the frankenstein musical
IM LOSING MY MIND THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG AND YOU DREW IT SO WELL?? FAM THE FACT HE REMEMBERED HIS PAST LIFE IN THIS IS MAKING ME GO FERAL I LOVE THIS SO MUCH
I cry whenever i read the book;
I cry as i watch your animatic.
The remorse is so vivid and painful to watch- you nailed it 😢😭👏👏👏
OH MY GOOOOOD I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Frankenstein is such an underrated musical its so amazing to see content being made 😭
I find it very precious and sad at the same time as the creature's past explains something I always wanted to know.
oh my GOD that was so good !?! like ??? holy shit, i have tears in my eyes, i loved this so much! the art ? fantastic ! the au you came up with ? incredible! it's so great, i can't believe i didn't find this sooner (though, this only came out a week ago but that's IRRELEVANT). i loved this so much ! amazing job !!
i cannot express how much i love it!!! these flashbacks from adam's past live? perfection!!
OooooohohohoHOHOHO!!! WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS!!! The emotion...the flashback bits....11/10!!!!
"jealousy will drive you mad"
Masterpiece, I was really impressed by your work
This is beautiful.
I’ve looked at this for five hours now
Okay
1) holy CRAP is this gorgeous. The expressions?????? Oh my god. Also maybe it's weird to say but the way you draw hands and feet is so GOOD like so dynamic and good.
2) honestly i like this 'au' idea better. I love the idea of Adam remembering bits of who he used to be it just ups the tragic factor a LOT.
Arghh I can’t stop watching this animatic over and over the frames are so messy yet filled with detail and life. You have a true talent and I can’t wait to see what you do in the future
Yes!!! My favorite song from one of my favorite musicals made into a beautiful animatic???? Yes plsss
I love the design! So far it's the most book accurate design I've seen for the creature! You got the cape, the barefeet and long hair right too! Thank you for taking the time to add more details to this amazing character and making him correct!
This boi needs a hug.
NOT ME JUST STARING AT HIS EYES AND NOSE THE ENTIRE TIME-- I MEAN WOWOWOW THE WHOLE SHEBANG FEELS HELLA IMPACTFUL AND ALIVE-- 😔😔💌💌💌
THANK U KING 💖
I'm on an animatic binge reminding myself how freaking amazing this musical is, I have no idea why it was never more popular.
The one dislike is from Frankenstein himself
Holy...poor Adam...
aaaAAAAAA OMG I LOVE THIS!! Your animatics are so AMAZING and this one was just 😭❤❤❤ the expressions when he was on his knees and all the movement and all the REFERENCES TO HIS PAST AAAAAA I LOVE ❤❤❤ TY FOR CONTRIBUTING TO THIS FANDOM 🥺❤❤🙏💖💖
THANK YOUUU
A small detail I really loved was how the nose is shaped differently in the past vs present, lol I just liked that.
tHANK you for noticing b/c that's like my favorite part about drawing him
This is so goood.... SO GOOD!! I love the dynamics in the perspectives and the creature turning and the expressions are so good!!! And at 1:18 when the mirror breaks and there's the shot of the creature in the broken mirror, all broken and twisted and exactly at the lyrics "this terrible hide with its poison inside".........! I am in AWE!! You are so good at storyboarding!!! And I love how you draw the creature!!!
thank you thank YOUUU!!
those hands can gently hold mine tbh
this is really amazing, I love the expressions. But I also just can't get over the range of the creature's voice.
Edit: I'm dying, I was watching it again when I got the notification for the heart
THANK YOU FOR MAKING ANIMATICS FOR MY FAVORITE MUSICAL AND ALSO THANK YOU FOR SINGLEHANDEDLY KILLING ME WITH THIS i'm sorry for capslock but I am somewhat emotionally overcome, this was a painful delight
this is literally one of the most beautifully crafted animatics ive seen. 🥺💕
So so so sooooooo good!!! From the expressions framing ah it's beautiful you can hear the pain in his voice in the song and you conveyed that sooooo well with your art also amazing art style!!! Magnificent work!!!😁😁😁
Do you ever see something that's so incredibly well made you have no words to express how it makes you feel? This is one of those things for me. My word. Absolutely phenomenal work.
This musical is under appreciated
I was going to do a specific time stamp for a frame that made me feel Emotions(tm), but then I realized... uh oh
it's the whole thing
this is unimaginably well done
HHHHH I'm so late but like??? This is my favorite Frankenstein animatic I've ever seen, so incredibly detailed and *ngh* wonderful
maaaaaan, your expressions are incredible
I'm crying, I'm crying so hard. I'm in love with this!! IT'S UUGHFDJ I can't even begin to explain how wondrous this is!! CREATURE BACKSTORY, using this song! Its frickin perfect gossksksk you did such a great job, even more then great to be completely honest,,,💚💚
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! :,-)
Honestly, thank you sooo much! Your animatics are amazing and have turned an amazing musical into something even greater. Please take this as full value when I say, keep up the AMAZING work!
AWw thank you so much!!
Ah yes. And so it begin. I watch a random musical animatic and then that’s what gets me into it. You are the chosen one in this case lol. Fantastic job the expressions and poses are so wonderful and anguished. Freaking lovely.
this is how I GOT INTO the frankenstein musical over a year ago, but with THE “Amen” animatic!! glad i am influencing the next generation >:-)
Dude I got MAD goosebumps watching and hearing this...you’re INSANELY talented!!!!! Immediately subscribing (and I don’t normally sub to animatic channels, that’s how fucking good this was!) Keep up the good work!!!! 💖👌🏻
First off, OW MY HEART! Second, this is a work of art and you should be proud of yourself. Third, now I’m wondering what might have happened had the woman here found the Creature and recognized him and he her…. Thoughts, anyone?
This is now my favorite video on all of TH-cam
always reminds me of " my psychopharmacologist and i "
Damnit, I just wanna hold him! 🥺
*_Or him to hold me-_*
SAME
I love the hands in this animatic. Full expressive
I can’t wait to see more to come from you. 🥺 you deserve more subs ~
Oh God, the feels! The facial expressions, everything! You are so talented, this was an emotional rollercoaster. I can't stop replaying, HELP-
I don’t get how you just know what to do. The expressions, the music interaction, the story, the movement and the flow, it’s all so good. I don’t know what you do but your work just hits that spot
thank youuu! :’)
I love this so much ;u;
His expression break my heart!
I love your work!!!
THIS IS AMAZING!!! Incredible job! Please keep up the great work!
I'm not crying, I'm not crying, I'm not crying ...
Damn.
But seriously, I love this theory about Adam's past and his deep emotions and feelings captured in this animation. Your art make us feel sorry for Creature's tragic past and his unfair death, but mostly - for his poor lover, who after his death was left alone in cruel world.
After watching this, sometimes I wonder : " Will Adam meet his wife/lover again ? How would he/she react to this meeting?" Though we know, it probably never will ...
Anyway your work is very amazing!
P.S. Sorry for my english, I'm trying to write correctly
thank you!! and i might do another animatic that will be about him finding his wife again.. maaaYYBE!
For an AU, it seems to be fitting, since he is an emotionally tortured soul.
OH SHIT YOU GAVE HIM A BACKSTORY
This song already hit hard now it's hitting harder :')
I love this so much. I knew it was gonna be good when I saw the thumbnail and it was even BETTER than I imagined!!
UWU thank YOUU!!!
Oh my God this is absolutely phenomenal!!! I adore how you drew the characters and how you conveyed the emotion!!! Amazing job!
You ever see an animation so good it gives you a huge boost of serotonin? Yeah, me too
This is the most heartwrenching animatic i have ever seen!! The expressions and the movements are just amazing
i literally cant help but watch this on loop
just, the acting decisions and expressions and i rly appreciate all the choices you made with this, the beats and transitions and only as much color as you needed and i just keep going 'hm it will be fine if i watch it again right away :)'
AHHH THANK U!!
I love this SO MUCH
me seeing this for the first time in 2020: wow, i sure hope this doesn't awaken anything in me
