A Story Told - The Count of Monte Cristo Animatic

- It’s been a while since I worked on a musical piece!
I’ve always loved the “Count of Monte Cristo” Musical (thanks to Ink Potts’ MLP videos, LOL), so I decided to put my own twist on this song with my original characters.
This project is more like an alternate universe (AU), and I have to admit it was both surprisingly fun and challenging. Having three characters on-screen singing at different speeds was quite the task! Some lines in the song go by SO FAST, but I tried my best to make it engaging without being too jarring for the audience (ME).
At the beginning, some lines were originally sung by Villefort, but I switched it up to have Mondego sing instead. I thought it would be easier for viewers to follow two characters initially rather than three. Their voices sound quite similar to me though, so I hope the transition wasn’t too noticeable.
I know there are things I’d like to fix, but if I kept nitpicking, this project would never be finished.
(Disclaimer: I created this video purely for fun and learning purposes. I do not own the song; only the art and characters.)
I hope you like it!
2:16 I'm dead. The flirt, the blush, and the other guy being like "meh don't care", that was perfect ✨
Two things:
First and most important, that last shot of Dantes sitting on his cell. The look on his eyes, I can just feel the hatred. He knows someone wronged him and he is going to find a way to make them pay.
Second:
MONDERGO YOU ASS! YOU RUINED THE MAN'S LIFE TO BE WITH MERCEDES AND THEN YOU GO AND RIZZ VILLEFORT!? FOR SHAME!
Okay, but the chatacter designs slap so much
"(thanks to Ink Potts’ MLP videos, LOL)," I thought the three sitting around a table, sharing drinks, was familiar. No shade, honestly, they're some damn good animatics.
Haha! I'm glad you noticed, thank you! I really wanted to have them at the table as a way to show my appreciation for their animatics! 🥹🩷🩷
I think in the original Source material they were sitting in a bar and this wasn't even a serious conversation at the time
This is SOOO GOOD! But I keep losing my sh*t because in the book this scene takes place in a bar and they are all wasted and be like “LOL wouldn’t it be funny if we got Dantes arrested”
And it's not even all of them! Villefort didn't even know these guys, Mondego was too caught up in his emotions to think straight! So basically, the whole delation wasn't some genious scheme organized by three handsome devils, it was just one evil smart guy and a catalonian Yandere.
OH MY GOD MONDEGO RIZZING UP VILLEFORT?! ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL
LOL! I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKE IT! THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😭😭
I like to think that Villefort was lowkey persuaded to convict Edmond, due to Mondego being a manipulative snake!! 😂😂
People are starting to remember the Count of Monte Cristo!
The animatic is beautiful, I need more.
A Count of Monte Cristo animatic??? in MY 2024???
This is amazing!!! The segment where the prison/keep LITERALLY becomes the bars holding [Dante] is astonishingly sleek!!! Great work!!!
I DIDN'T KNOW COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO WAS A MUSICAL TOO? OH MY GOD
Me too! I only knew about the one that’s in my country
IT IS, albeit a lot of the listed songs are pretty incomplete or not around for some reason
YES! It's also a manga! A classic one. :D
I think we can all thank ink potts for getting us obsessed in this musical
BUT FR I WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE AN ANIMATIC FOR THE MUSICAL AND IT LOOKS SO GOOD
Love the character designs MUAH
Wwwwhaaat? I don't think I've ever seen a group of men (?) be so comfortable touching each other and having such energy. Absolutely baffled by this concept and the execution. Might be a weird point but genuinely the best dynamic I've seen in a while
DUDEE the perspective with the papers at 0:42 and the CAMERA SHAKE when he grabs one is SO COOL!!
Also as someone who listened to this musical because of the MLP animatics forever ago, you KILLED this in every way! The character designs go so hard fr
THE CHARACTER DESIGNS. THE PERSPECTIVE. THE COMPOSITION. THIS IS STUNNING. GENUINELY. I’M SO HAPPY TO SEE AN ANIMATIC FOR THIS MUSICAL. I LOVE IT GREATLY, AND THIS ANIMATIC JUST. *CHEF’S KISS*
I AM AMAZED BY THE CHARACTER DESIGNS THEY ARE SO HOT
ALL OF THE MOVEMENTS ARE INSANE?? One of my favourite shots honestly was in the very beginning of them walking up the stairs, it was so cool and honestly kinda clued me in on the people.
The designs are gorgeous?? I love them so much. I like how unique every one is! They all have different shapes and silhouettes and it was easy to tell them all apart!
The bits added where its close-ups on the characters faces, and the angles in which we viewed them?? So, so tasty. 10/10 will watch again. And will also bully my sister into watching it because I know she would love it too :D
This is really impressive with how quick the lines go by and how fast paced the song is. All their designs are so fun too, with the Mondego stand in being quite the feral rat archetype
THAT WAS AWESOME! Best ive seen since the mlp ones so makes complete sense you were so inspired! I *love* the character designs and the last little flirty bit between Villefort and Mondego had me rolling- the crisis on his face 😂
A Count of Monte Cristo animatic??? You've blessed my youtube algorithm. I love the movement of all the characters, they all maneuver across the screen wonderfully, and I adore your designs! Wonderful work!
You're so sweet AAAAA Thank you so so much, I'm so happy you like them!!🥹🩷
I love both the Count of Monte Cristo and Frankenstein. (I mention Frankenstein because I discovered your channel through your Frankenstein animatics) This is amazing!
Aww that's so cool to know!! Frankenstein and the Count of Monte Cristo hold a special place in my heart, I'm happy you enjoy both!!🥰
Oh dude. It’s all good, but the part with the book is just… oh, that kind of creativity is sublime
This has blessed my reccomended. The way you had the screen SHAKE at the winners write history was AMAZING and the small movements at grabbing the drapes and I am in awe. There is so much, but I just want to say that this is SO SO SO GOOD
AAAAA THANK YOU SO SOMUCH!! 😭😭😭 I'm super touched with how you paid attention to such little things as the camera moves and drapes, it really makes all the work worth it!! 😭😭 I'm super happy you liked it, thank u again!! 🥹🩷
These boys be fruitier than the produce aisle.
And I love it
Great animatic
This is one of my FAVORITE books and FAVORITE musicals. ^^
I would like to kindly request more “The Count of Monte Cristo” animatics. Perhaps simply animate the entire musical? /silly /jk
I absolutely ADORE everything in this animatic.
This is actually really well done as an animatic! A lot of the time I see animatics as more of slide-shows rather than aids for animators! And you are good with the composition! Great job, man
THIS IS SO GOOD!!!! Oh im so glad ppl stopped sleeping on this musical.
This is amazing!!! I love the character designs, the perspectives, the transitions- everything here is top notch. You did a fantastic job. The physicality on display in each and every one of them makes me want to eat drywall (in the best way possible!)
gosh this is absolutely amazing!! the character designs are so cool and the expressions are so well-done! it’s awesome seeing more content for the count of monte cristo musical 🩷🩷🩷
this animatic is so good I've rewatched it several times already,,
Oh man! The character designs are sick! There's so much energy and flow! You did fantastic!!
Holy! man this is really satisfying to behold. Ever since I rediscovered the count of monte cristo songs (ink potts the reason 100%) I've listened to them a ton. When they come up sometimes I have to stop whatever I was doing and just soak up the song. Reading the book, the huge concrete block that it is, has only made me appreciate the story and the songs and ink potts' animatics even more. Then this amazing animatic shows up in my watch next?!! Glorious.
Characters good! Flow good! I kept track of movements all well. I like how much they were moving around , traveling up the stairs and around the room, good motion. I think the top comment that showed up for me sums up my thoughts on the characters. " Okay, but the character designs slap so much" - moonlitlaurel8103. yes I agree!
THIS IS SO GOOD?? LIKE, HOW DID YOU MANAGE THIS?? THE PERSPECTIVE AND CAMERA WORK HERE WAS REALLY GOOD, UP TO PROFESSIONAL STUFF REALLY
YOUR GESTUAL DRAWING WAS IMPECCABLE TOO, ISTG, LOVE THE INNER DYNAMIC OF THIS TRIO AND HOW IT PLAYS OUT HERE
I DIDN'T KNOW MONTE CRISTO WAS A MUSICAL AND NOW I'M CURIOUS AF
YOU DID A GOOD JOB MATCHING VOICES TO FACES TOO, IT FELT REALLY NATURAL
JUST, GOOD JOB, DUDE 👏👏👏👏👏 I'M PROUD OF YOU
OMG you'll make me blush for real!! AAAAAAA That's so sweet I can't express how much this means to me, thank you so so much for all the love and kind words!!
God! I adore the fluid movement so much! It compliments the song so well!
Gotta say I love the characters so much. So much personality shown in just this video, would 100% watch this if it was a show. Love this song too so that's a bonus, overall amazing work :)
As another person who also was a big fan of the ink pott animatics and learned about the musical from them Back in The Day TM, it's super cool to see another awesome animatic with these songs! Your movements and camera angles and expressions are all SO GOOD. And your character designs?? Incredible. Top tier animatic >>>>
I am frothing at the mouth I cannot even comprehend how much I love both the designs and the choreography/blocking AND the composition oh my god…. Also I desperately need them.
I love your art!! It's very nice and your storytelling skills are to die for!!
Also I love this musical, so I'm grateful youtube recommended this to me. Awesome video
Omg, The Count of Monte Cristo animatic with actual humans and not mlp? You spoil me!❤❤❤
ooo this is so well done I love it!! I've barely seen any animatics for this musical but this one's so good! The character designs, the movements, everything is so dynamic!!
This is amazing and also feels like a situation where gay sex may have solved at least some problems
Obsessed with this. It so good!!❤❤❤ (Also glad to see another Ink potts fan in the wild!)
I need more about your count of monte cristo animatics OMG❤
This is some very impressive work, the animations feels very living and the music and story fits very well together. Very great job making this animatic.
A ship I never expected Fernand and Villefort xD but damn I'm sold
Could it be??? The algorithm is finally doing its work??? What an amazing animatic!! I love how even though they all have a similar goal it's not only their designs, but also their body language that makes them distinct from each other. Also the little shrug at 2:19 had me dead 😂😂😂 wonderful work!!
I LOVE THEEEEEEM SOOO MUCH 😭❤️ BEST VILLAIN TRIO KDGWOSHS
OH THIS IS DELECTABLE.. A FULL COURSE MEAL!! THE DESIGNS ARE SO GOOD
Everything here is so amazing!!! The characters, backgrounds, composisiton, etc.!!
the greatest animatic i've ever seen
I'M CRYIIING THROWING UP KILLING MYSELF!!!!!! EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING AND CHARMING, THE ANIMATION, THE CHARACTERS????
THIS IS YOUR BEST ONE YET!!!?#(#( OMG 😭😭😭😭❤️💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
SO AMAZING THE EXPRESSIONS AND MOVEMENT LETS GOOOOOOOO❤❤❤❤❤❤
Saw this in my recommendations and HOLY - this is so beautiful! This doesn't even feel like an animatic, it's so clean and detailed with all it's simple movements! Absolutely in love!
How do you only have 1000 subs?? This is incredible!
DAMN that acting!! The perspectives too!!
Amazing work 🔥🔥
Bringing back memories to when this book was required reading in my school XD
i've never heard of this musical before, but i watched all the way through because i was so captivated with your art. absolutely wonderful!!! makes me want to check this out now :D
AHHHH I LOVE THIS!!!! NOT ONLY IS MY FAVORITE MUSICAL GETTING FAN CONTENT IN 2024 BUT THEYRE ALSO ALL HOTTTT LETS GOOOOO!!!!! Amazing amazing job!! 💖💖💖💖
THERE IS A MUSICAL FOR THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO??? I AM LOSING IT.
There is and god it's soundtrack is amazing
I've never heard of this musical and have barely heard of the original version but good GLORY this is stunning. The way you portray movement is so dynamic and I constantly found myself impressed by how quickly everything moves--you managed to stay on beat with a VERY quick song and it makes the whole animatic extremely engaging to watch. This is one of my new favorite animatics, not because it draws a familiar song or characters but because of the sheer skill and artistry demonstrated. Fantastic job!
My Lord, because of you my Count of Monte Cristo hyperfixaction has rewoken. Thank you so much. This animatic is just goregous (watched it already 6 times)
THIS IS A MASTERPIECE 😫😫😫😫💕💖 OMG, SO GOOD I LOVE THEM
This is so amazingly good I have no words omg 😭😭😭
IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE I HEARD THIS SONG, LET ALONE BE USED FOR ANOTHER ANIMATIC OMGOMGOMG
WAAAY Your skill has grown so much since your early Frankenstein animatics!! This is just something!! These movements, this expressiveness of the characters, it’s wonderful!! Pure delight!
Ps: Oh my God why are these three so hot...
Your comment is making me blush AAAAA 😭😭🩷 Thank you so so much for all the kind words, for sticking around for so long and remembering my frankenstein animatics too, this means the world to me!!! 🥹🥹
(Super happy you like the designs for the three snakes too, hehe!!)🩷
FINALLY ANIMATIC ON ONE OF MY FAVOURITE MUSICALS! AND REALLY GOOD ONE!
*shakes your hand* ink potts got me into this musical LMAO
love the energy you draw in this
OOOhoooohhhh now Ireally wanna know the story behind these characters!
Amazing evil charisma❤
YOOOOOO! I immediately clicked this when I saw it, and I was not even slightly disappointed.
Is that an underrated artist I smell? Yes! Yes!! It is!!!

Hellooooo, dear underrated artist
Honestly, the character designs are SO COOL what
HOLY MOLY MOTHER IN CHRIST,,,,!,!,,,!!!!! I was just searching up the song to use for my own animatic and I see this ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!!???!!!!!!?!! THIS IS IN EVERY SENSE PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!
Beautiful work! So dynamic
Absolute slayyy! Love this song and the characters are so engaging!
tHIS IS SO UNDERRATED OMG
Amazing designs and body language!
I dont know the context but i like it.
This is a work of ART ahhhh!!! I need a Monte Cristo anime NOW (there’s a manga and it’s fantastic) 😭
There is one! It's from Albert's perspective. It's called Gankutsuo, and I heartily recommend it. One of the best melodramas I've ever seen.
@@lalas181 Thank you!! Is it faithful to the book at all? 🤩
the character designs r really good :D
This is absolutely inspiring! ❤
I love this so much!! great work!!
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH I'M SO GLAD TO SEE SOMEONE DO AN ANIMATIC TO IT! (And such a beautiful animatic, too!!)
IKR?? I LOVE THIS SONG SM!! 🥹🥹🩷🩷 Thank you so so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it! 🙏
OMG I JUST DISCOVERED YOUR CHANNEL RIGHT NOW WITH THIS SONG AND NOW I LOVE IT!!! It would be very difficult to ask lyrics in the video (and not the automatics? they are horrible). I'm Spanish and I would LOVE to understand all the song, but it's very difficult for me with just the voices, and I'm really interested on what gestures come with each word. I fell that this is an important part of the message!!
Thanks for reading!!!
