I like to think that when they married she didnt have her throne/rulership established, but as he started to industrialize hadestown/neglect her emotionally she refused to rule beside him bc she wouldnt be listened to (by this song/animatic, ill assume he constantly shamrd any attempt at merciful/compassionate ruling and she gave up on it/him)
I very much love the color contrast between Hades and Persephone! How Hades is red with a type of spite and rage he holds while Persephone is a dull, unhappy, green like someone who used to be vibrant and splendid that dimmed and grew less overtime. How it contrast each other. Art and theme is amazing as usual!!!! You’re doing great!
Ahh what a great perspective! Something I also noticed was how everyone in the underworld was just as dull as well!! I love how well drawn the entire animatic is and how interesting what you said is as well ^^
Mike_S01 ahhhh!! No problem!! Also yes I agree so much! The musical and all of the animatics, songs, and art in general are so wonderful! I usually watch this animatic on loop for farrr too long pfft-
The concept of Hades and Persephone on different halves of the globe in light and shadow is brilliant and fits so well with that part of this song. Well done
the way you interpreted how hades says “the girl means nothing to me” and how persephone answers “i know” is EXACTLY how i envisioned it. this is one of my favorite songs in the musical because of how much i adore these two so seeing it like this is beautiful, great work!!
Hades: Nothing comes of the songs people sing. Also Hades: The kingdom will fall for a song. Remember that the next time someone tells you something is pointless while actively trying to stop you from doing it.
I love that in the original myth Orpheus got both of them to agree but still over Hades’ conditions. This song really remarks the stubborn and careful Hades is but still honest.
sealbatross Kinda but mostly I mean honest as in the way he doesn’t deny what is he feeling, as he knows that if he lets her go people will take it as a weakness, not being able to put them in line anymore. He knows how everything works on his kingdom and knows this relationship with his wife is unfulfilling
When they start singing together about the sun it gives me the feeling of two immortal, impossibly old beings coming to terms with something and coming to terms with each other
I like to think that the thing they’re coming to terms with is Impermanence-the fact that _everything_ will eventually change. Not even the deathless gods can escape this Fate, because some day the sun itself will burn out. Persephone, as the goddess of spring, is always coming face to face with the cycles of life and death in nature and so is more ready to accept that reality with grace. Hades on the other hand rejects it. In fact you could say that Hadestown itself is an edifice to his existential anxiety, his futile attempt to build something permanent in this impermanent world . And even though he knows that in the end it’s pointless, he can’t bring himself to let go of it. He’s as trapped as anyone else in Hadestown

Dang I love the ending with Hades and Persephone standing on opposite sides of the earth, it’s super artistic and creative as is the rest of this absolutely phenomenal work of art
Can we all just appreciate 3:07... It's such a beautiful contrast to how she was the whole song, in her dull green coloring showing just how tired she is of everything... It's being up above, giving spring and bringing the earth back to life that gives her life, that gives her color. Then we get to 3:09, with Hades who instead of appreciating the beauty, the life she gives off, is turning back into the darkness, as if turning away from the sunlight which, I think shows his fears... He knows that being above gives Persephone happiness, he knows just how much she loves the world above, and she fears that that love for the earth would cause her to leave him forever and stay at the surface, which also causes him to keep her from leaving Hadestown on time and coming for her earlier than what was planned, as referenced on Living it up on top and Way Down Hadestown.
Your animatics are so beautiful After seeing your animatic of Wait for Me Reprise I went and listened to the whole musical and now I’m in love so thank you for introducing me to this fantastic pice of art
This is so lovely! Persephone's smile & dance/gesticulation with her arms at the _mere thought_ of the sun vs Hades standing in the eternal dark/night on the opposite spectrum of everything his wife stands for??
Hades' part ooze this feeling of "Why should I care for him and his strife when you didn't care for mine?" His approach to it is still objectionable, but his frustration is still compelling.
The look he gives her with the "it's yours too" when she sings about HIS Underworld broke my heart. I was just thinking about this specific line when listening to it tonight, and just that, how she doesn't call it "our" Underworld. Beautifully done ❤️
YEEEEEESSSSS HADES AND PERSEPHONE!!! The expressions!! The narrative!!! This is so dynamic- always moving, never distracting from the source, AND at the same time being a unique and creative take on it- honey. Amazing
I'm so blown away by the dynamics and characterisation that has gone into this. How Long has always been one of my favourite songs from the album and I think this animatics truly displays how much of a turning point this encounter is. The sun sequence was absolutely beautiful
i started getting chills when they began singing about the sun. I think the way you framed those shots really helped push the emotion! i also love when the light comes out of orpheus' chest and grows into wings, thats some top notch grade a free range non gmo symbolism right there. anyway, great job i love this so much
God, I love How Long so much. I was waiting for a quality version of it (Bootlegs of 2017 have floated around here and there) with Patrick and Amber since I first found Hadestown years ago, lol. My favorite thing about the song is how Persephone snaps at Hades, but immediately softens. You really captured that in this. The design you envisioned for Hadestown is also really cool looking. The clock hanging town almost akin to a chandelier is really striking, along with the hot color that really describes the heat that is within Hadestown. Just an A++ animatic overall.
W O W This is absolutely incredible!!! I'm absolutely obsessed with how you portrayed them interacting with each other, so natural and tense at the same time. The bit at 2:31 is AMAZING, from his expression and gestures to the way he just like circles her, it is CHEF'S KISS
Thank you for the kind words!! I'm really happy you like it :) As for 2:31 - it's a secret but he's just trying to subtly edge his way out the door shhhhh
Oh my god this is just so majestic. I love how you can see Persephone constantly stopping Hades from leaving so that he can hear her out. I love the frames at 1:08 , it depicts Orpheus’s grief so well to the point where the viewer can feel it. And Hades’s expressions fit his point of view so well! I’m gonna stop ranting but just know that this deserves a reward.
The imagery here is immaculate, the shadows and lighting + the globe and sun interpretation was amazing and held such beautiful metaphor, it was so good.
I CAME AS I SOON AS I SAW ON MY RECOMMENDATIONS! It’s like ya took Amber and Patrick’s faces and just captured them so stinking well!!!! His little spurts of insane smiles, and the little “it’s yours too” and the COLOR CONTRAST WITH BRIGHT GREENS AND YELLOWS AGAINST DARK PURPLE AND ANGRY REDS AAAAAH
This is fantastic! It's one of my favorite Hadestown songs and you captured the way my mind perceived it so perfectly! Amazing job!!!!!!! I hope to see more from you!!!
This is such an amazing animatic, like holy shit! The clear dichotomy you create between Persephone and Hades yet still they proclaim their love for each other, it’s amazing
Hhmmmmm! Now I'm thinking... Persephone is the goddess of spring and death... does that mean she is also the goddess of resurrection and rebirth? If that's so, Hades must agreed with every soul she wants to be back into the life, because you know, that's her will as the goddess of resurrection and rebirth.
ive watched this so many times, oh my goodness the expressions, the lighting, colours, imagery, everything!! everything about this is beautiful,, thank you for making me appreciate this underrated song even more !!
There's something soft yet very expressive in these relatively simple drawings. The dynamic camera angles and use of color contribute to the loveliness. Definitely does justice to one of my favorite songs of the show; thank you for making it.
I need to stop watching animatics this goid, all I wanna do now is watch a dozen different musicals! Well done, never head the song or of the musical before, nut this makes me very curious Also as others pointed out I live the colors and lighting, it's rarely used in animatics as they tend to be rougher And side note: Hades has the graveliest, raspiest voice I've heard, I both love it and kinda don't
Oh gosh, same, I had to limit myself otherwise I'll never get any original work out - or any life stuff done! Thank you! I am glad you like it. As my drawings are a lot rougher than most other animatics, it is how I compensate. I love deep voices so when I heard it it was heaven (though I'm way too used to it by now) P.S. listen to hey little songbird if you want the chest raspies ;)
So I love every aspect of this but I just wanted to say that especially the expressions and of that especially the eyes. I love how you did their eye-expressions.
I was fully just like, what a great animatic, but then the end came and it was just, transcendent. the way the angles match with the musical rise and fall, everything so giant and then so tiny, it’s rad as fuck
i couldn't find the right word to explain how beautiful this is (like, how different it is to the other animatics) and it's when they've transcended to the sky i realised the word is ethereal. this animatic is ethereal and you've done it with such simplicity it's amazing 😭
good golly i'm so happy you think of it that way, it is only through individual interpretation that these scribbles derive meaning, so thank you for infusing it with such wonderful words :)
Ooooh, I love how Hades got a little too in his own head for a second. "He has the kind of love for her that you and I once had." The way he looks when he says "The girl means nothing to me" is so much more off-guard and defensive than I imagined. I can just see the thoughts on his face.
Ok so this is my favorite animatic EVER but I just noticed that at the start the floor Persephone is in it's 666 and man that's such a good detail??? Like bro who did you sell your soul to to have this much talent
i loved this so much!!! the little 'it's yours too' at the window scene and hades circling her and being taller, but then the glorious little explosion of life and persephone grabbing his hands and being truthful and happy - and then persephone being in the light and hades in the shadows GAH!!!!!! SO GOOD!!!
Bro your style is soooo good for this and I rlly love how you work with colors to provide depth to the animac. I rlly love this in general and man u rlly just made this beautiful thing for my fave Hadestown song!!!!
THIS and wait for me reprise is a great example of how you dont need to be good at drawing for the animation to be amazing. the story got across, the movements are easy to read and the color contrast is great its a beautiful piece with great understanding on visual story telling in animation
Now that I think about it. Hades is confined in the underground and isn't allowed up above. He's stuck while his lover's job deals with everything that makes up the world above. She's permitted 6 months up above while he stays in his land all alone. That type of dynamic breeds resentment because she can have what he can't and she's the only access to the land up above that he has. Maybe that's why it hurts more when she goes. He's all alone in his realm all the time where nothing grows and nothing is natural.
This is so beautiful, I come back to watch it at least once a week and keep it in my youtube red downloads. Thank you so much for sharing your hard work with us!
I love everything about this! Your expressions and character designs are great, and the lighting is so precise and consistent and evocative!! goo stuff!
WOW... WOW im a half a year late but i have... CHILLS. The BODY language of these two is what gets me. How persephone is passionate. From the GET go, when she says "Hades my husband... Hades my life" she REACHES out to him, with both hands, and he stands there, unreceptive. He TOWERS over her the entire time, getting even taller with exagerated angles as the song goes on. This shit took my breath away... wow.
I come back to this animatic a lot and while the entire thing is a masterpiece, I think it's the moment at 3:13 where Persephone changes to looking afraid of the sun, in a way you almost only do when witnessing something that is greater than yourself. That moment of feeling small when looking out at the universe, an emotion that we don't associate with gods at all but humanizes them so effectively. A feeling that they both share, that despite being gods they are so small in the grander scheme of things.
Dear Gods! This is incredible,your lighting is amazing, it gives this so much feeling, the part when Persephone goes " what does he care for the logic Of kings" and steps into hades light is amazing, And the sun! How she is yellow, and so is the sun and she gets stronger with it, and how when she speaks of the Earth coming back to life everything changes! It felt so vivid, and you really portrayed the song amazingly.
The amount of times I've watched this one over the years... Its the fact that he looks so HURT when she says "once had" not "have" And the RAGE you gave Orpheus as Seph is describing him And again, when she says "Your underworld", he looks SO HURT that she doesnt consider it her home as well. And then when he snaps back at her and she says "as long as i am your wife" he turns away, like "Oh so NOW youre a part of this, pssh, okay..."
This is a stunning animatic! :D I especially love the imagery you add for the line, "His heart is a bird on a spit in his chest." Absolutely beautiful!
Hades hitting his head when he straightens up too fast made me laugh
Emily Escott HAHAHA I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE
Time stamp?
0:29
I died
That was oddly sweet and you can see Persephone was like "Oh baby, stop being adorable. We really need to talk about this."
I know this is supposed to be very sad and melancholy, but
Persephone: "... the laws of your underworld"
Hades' "it's yours too"
KILLED me!
Such a married couple
I actually find that part really adorable...
Our Underworld comrade
Really had me at 2:31 tho
I like to think that when they married she didnt have her throne/rulership established, but as he started to industrialize hadestown/neglect her emotionally she refused to rule beside him bc she wouldnt be listened to (by this song/animatic, ill assume he constantly shamrd any attempt at merciful/compassionate ruling and she gave up on it/him)
Hades and Persephone: How does the sun even fit in the sky?
Apollo: Are you guys calling me fat? 😢
This made me lol 😂
Helios- You are, Wait…
Helios: oy vey
Don't you mean
Apollo: You calling my ride fat
I very much love the color contrast between Hades and Persephone! How Hades is red with a type of spite and rage he holds while Persephone is a dull, unhappy, green like someone who used to be vibrant and splendid that dimmed and grew less overtime.

Mike_S01 ahhhh!! No problem!!
Also yes I agree so much! The musical and all of the animatics, songs, and art in general are so wonderful! I usually watch this animatic on loop for farrr too long pfft-
There's also the little detail that when she says "But then the world comes back to life" her colors become more vibrant :)
3:07 is so sweet because she goes back to her bright colors she use to have and that’s too good man 😭
The concept of Hades and Persephone on different halves of the globe in light and shadow is brilliant and fits so well with that part of this song. Well done
That’s one thing Zeus and Hera and Posideon and Amphirate don’t have. Contrasting
2:17 "it's yours too" hades still respecc his queen
the way you interpreted how hades says “the girl means nothing to me” and how persephone answers “i know” is EXACTLY how i envisioned it. this is one of my favorite songs in the musical because of how much i adore these two so seeing it like this is beautiful, great work!!
Thank you so much! I'm glad it matches up with your vision. I too, love the dynamic between them :)
The irony, Hades became exactly what Zeus was
@@KumaoftheForest How come? In the sense that Hades´ relationship is broken?
Hades: Nothing comes of the songs people sing.
Also Hades: The kingdom will fall for a song.
Remember that the next time someone tells you something is pointless while actively trying to stop you from doing it.
those few frames where Hades is alone in the Underworld are really sad for some reason. it was literally like three frames how did you do this to me
ME TOO THAT HIT ME SO HARD WNFDKJNFEKJ
Unrelated but I was scrolling through the comments and your greasy grandma profile pic made my day
I know! He’s such a jerk but I can’t help but pity him.
For a rough design you captured so much emotion
Thank you so much! I'm glad
I love that in the original myth Orpheus got both of them to agree but still over Hades’ conditions. This song really remarks the stubborn and careful Hades is but still honest.
Hmm interesting, honest in some ways as in not sugarcoating? Anywho they are both so stubborn I love it XD

@@mauveforest8839 ah I can see that, sir practical competently going about solving emotional issues incompetently.
Yes completely.
Persephone is the one that sets the rule that he can't look back. Because the Iron Queen knows he will do it.
i sense it, you sense it, they sense it, we sense it:
talent
When they start singing together about the sun it gives me the feeling of two immortal, impossibly old beings coming to terms with something and coming to terms with each other

GOD THE PART WHERE THE LIGHT SPIKES ORPHEUS THROUGH THE CHEST AND BECOMES WINGS... BEAUTIFUL.
This whole animamtic is Perfect!
Persephone: he has the kind of love for her, that you and I once had.
Hades: the girl means nothing to me >:(
Persephone(who knows): I know
What... what are you trying to say Hades?
Your animatics are so beautiful
After seeing your animatic of Wait for Me Reprise I went and listened to the whole musical and now I’m in love so thank you for introducing me to this fantastic pice of art
Thank you! And no problem at all - spreading the obsession is the best outcome ever hehe
This is so lovely! Persephone's smile & dance/gesticulation with her arms at the _mere thought_ of the sun vs Hades standing in the eternal dark/night on the opposite spectrum of everything his wife stands for??
This is so good!!! There are hardly any Hadestown animatics let alone ones featuring Hades and Persephone, thank you!!

i loved this so much!!! the little 'it's yours too' at the window scene and hades circling her and being taller, but then the glorious little explosion of life and persephone grabbing his hands and being truthful and happy - and then persephone being in the light and hades in the shadows GAH!!!!!! SO GOOD!!!
im glad you like those bits AAA
Okay it's official, I'm obsessed with this animatic and with you. This is so amazing!!
Ahhhh thank you! I'm so flattered!
Hot dang i don’t know what’s happening when she’s singing about the sun but I’m here for it
Bro your style is soooo good for this and I rlly love how you work with colors to provide depth to the animac. I rlly love this in general and man u rlly just made this beautiful thing for my fave Hadestown song!!!!
mmmm thanks man, im glad its eyeball worthy!
fluidity to rival szin
Ivy aw shucks
THIS and wait for me reprise is a great example of how you dont need to be good at drawing for the animation to be amazing. the story got across, the movements are easy to read and the color contrast is great its a beautiful piece with great understanding on visual story telling in animation
Can't help but imagine Hadestown as a future Lore Olympus 😍 This animatic is perfect 💗💗💗💗
Now that I think about it. Hades is confined in the underground and isn't allowed up above. He's stuck while his lover's job deals with everything that makes up the world above. She's permitted 6 months up above while he stays in his land all alone. That type of dynamic breeds resentment because she can have what he can't and she's the only access to the land up above that he has. Maybe that's why it hurts more when she goes. He's all alone in his realm all the time where nothing grows and nothing is natural.
This is so beautiful, I come back to watch it at least once a week and keep it in my youtube red downloads. Thank you so much for sharing your hard work with us!
Oh my God what?! Man I'm glad you like it so much! Thank you for watching 💙💙💙
I love this so much!! The characterization is so great and the wide range of expressions are so cool! I can't wait to see what you create next :)

Daaaaaaaaang that’s good holy cow the lightning and the window daaang
Love me some windows and wine XD
I love everything about this! Your expressions and character designs are great, and the lighting is so precise and consistent and evocative!! goo stuff!
"nothing comes of the songs people sing" is the fucking line of the show
"How does the sun even fit in the sky" Guys. Ask Apollo. You're Olympians.
I love the visuals in this. Excellent work!
Thanks, glad you do :)
WOW... WOW im a half a year late but i have... CHILLS. The BODY language of these two is what gets me. How persephone is passionate. From the GET go, when she says "Hades my husband... Hades my life" she REACHES out to him, with both hands, and he stands there, unreceptive. He TOWERS over her the entire time, getting even taller with exagerated angles as the song goes on. This shit took my breath away... wow.
This song writes it's own animatic uwu
I come back to this animatic a lot and while the entire thing is a masterpiece, I think it's the moment at 3:13 where Persephone changes to looking afraid of the sun, in a way you almost only do when witnessing something that is greater than yourself. That moment of feeling small when looking out at the universe, an emotion that we don't associate with gods at all but humanizes them so effectively. A feeling that they both share, that despite being gods they are so small in the grander scheme of things.
your art is so expressive 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Thank you for this, it’s my favorite HadesTown song!
About time someone made a How Long anamatic. I love it!
Dear Gods! This is incredible,your lighting is amazing, it gives this so much feeling, the part when Persephone goes " what does he care for the logic Of kings" and steps into hades light is amazing, And the sun! How she is yellow, and so is the sun and she gets stronger with it, and how when she speaks of the Earth coming back to life everything changes! It felt so vivid, and you really portrayed the song amazingly.
Thank you so much! I try to emphasize the aspects of the songs always. I'm glad you like how it's portrayed!
The amount of times I've watched this one over the years...
Its the fact that he looks so HURT when she says "once had" not "have"
And the RAGE you gave Orpheus as Seph is describing him
And again, when she says "Your underworld", he looks SO HURT that she doesnt consider it her home as well. And then when he snaps back at her and she says "as long as i am your wife" he turns away, like "Oh so NOW youre a part of this, pssh, okay..."
When Hades says, "Show them a _crack,_ they'll tear down the wall." That frame looks TERRIFYING in the best way possible
haha GLAD
Chills Literal Chills.
Intense feels!
This is a stunning animatic! :D I especially love the imagery you add for the line, "His heart is a bird on a spit in his chest." Absolutely beautiful!
thank you so much, I'm glad you like that bit :)
Love the colors and lighting!! Timing is also very good
Thanks fishy :)
