Thank you so much for watching my animatic! It means a lot to me! Thank you thank you! Some things to address the common questions: 1) Yes the audio is pitched down a bit. I thought I would get a copyright strike if I used the original audio. Someone told me i wont so I'll use the original audio in the next animatic 2) this really is my first animatic. Which is why I'm incredibly proud to finish it. It took me two weeks, since I've been doing it late at night after I've done schoolwork and projects 3) I've noticed that some of you guys were asking if i had a DA account or tumblr. I have a DA account but I don't post there. I haven't posted anything there in a long long while lmao. I DO have a tumblr. Find me at beeyoungkah.tumblr.com or @beeyoungkah on instagram if you wanna see more of my drawings or see little updates on the animatics im working on. My DA is beeyoungkah.deviantart.com but I doubt you'll find anything worthwhile there lol It's cool if you don't though. I'm just gonna leave this here for people who are interested. Thank you so much for watching my animatic and for leaving likes and comments! You guys are so nice! Thank you!!! ❤️
StoryTheShadow 563 bahaha please 😂 it's mostly just reblogs of musical stuff. I post drawings occasionally but not often as I'd like 😅 maybe that's also the reason why I haven't created a DA account yet
Emilia Faye May be Connor actually think that. He already planned his suicide, why would he kept the letter anyway? He neatly keep it with him, not for returning, but for confession he never had a chance to make.
@@TrebleMuave according to the novel, he took it as a insult. Even his ghost referenced it as evan pulling a fast one . His last message to the world was writing his name on Evan's cast
@@samukajabateh1640 different medias, different stories. I don't doubt Steven Levenson, the writer of the script, intended that to be true. There's a reason he's the most requested writer in Broadway right now
I will always and forever adore how Zoe is the one who says "Why should I play the grieving girl and lie saying that I miss you and my world has gone dark without your light." while Larry says that " *my world has gone dark without your light* " It will forever break my heart that above all that was wrong with Connor, Larry still loved his son.
I love that she doesn’t change what she remembers of her brother. She refuses to act like he was a perfect human being that treated her like a princess. He was obviously a jerk. She shouldn’t have to miss him if she truly doesn’t.
woah...this animatic captures the emotion and zoe she got abused by Connor and how the family doesnt even feel no emotion after his death??? wow I really like this animatic
I know everyone talks about Conner abusing Zoe, but I havent seen the musical in person, so could someone tell me, what did he do? I haven't been able to find anything that says and I'm genuinely curious.
Stephanie Pagano According to Zoe, Connor once came to her room and started banging on her door, screaming "I'm going to kill you!" like we see in the film reel in the animatic, so a lot of people have inferred that he abused her verbally and was generally unstable
Butterfly Taster I'm not making any excuses for him, what he did was wrong, but no one got him help when he needed it. He was clearly mentally unstable yet his family did nothing. Thats the thing about this musical: Not a single character is innocent and free from blame, no one was perfect.
Zebra Llama It wasn't my intent to pin all the blame on Connor, in fact, I agree with you. I was just making a neutral statement based on what information the musical supplied on the topic of why Zoe doesn't want to mourn Connor. That's also why I said "a lot of people have inferred"-- as in I was being impartial. Just wanted to clear that up, since I truly do wish something was done to help Connor. Though in a cut (can I call it cut? Is that the right term?) song called "In the Bedroom Down the Hall" Cynthia reveals that he had actually been going to therapy ("maybe they could take away the anger in his eyes"), so I suppose they hadn't completely just sat back and watched. Sorry this got too long, just wanted to put it out there.
natsukashii maybe not abused thats just how some brothers and sisters acted and it wasn't all conners fault he was messed up in the head. He didnt have anyone to care for him, or that was just he thought. he just didn't reach out to his family. Maybe I haven't seen the musical yet. GOOD ANIMATIC
I thought that Connor and Zoe were close as kids tho? Like, from what was said in the dialogue, plus how Zoe says "you've given me my brother *back* " it seems more like at some point Connor started struggling a lot with his mental illnesses and stuff and everything went downhill and no one in the family really knew how to deal with it. So yes, Connor abused his sister with his outbursts and stuff, but their parents never fully committed to helping Connor get the treatment he needed, especially Larry, who used to say that Connor was just 'pretending for attention' and stuff, and during the time that we got to see Zoe interact with Connor at the start of the musical, she seemed to be teasing him a lot and stuff, which, I guess is fair, but it still makes me think about how their parents' careless attitude towards Connor might have rubbed off on her as well in some way, and, well, I'm just saying that it wasn't all Connor's fault. It was the whole family who was messed up, some more and some less, but they all could have handled it all better nonetheless. Edit: oh, also, the removed songs from the musical described how Connor used to be happy as a kid, and how he liked to tell jokes a lot and stuff, so yey, more evidence that Connor isn't an entirely bad person I guess :'>
Terēze Locika i have to agree, especially with some of the lyrics in this song. It seems that she is struggling because she does miss him but at the same time is struggling to come to terms with how much je struggled in the end
everyone says that this animatic is amazing because it shows that Zoe shouldn’t miss Connor because he was terrible to her, and she doesn’t miss him because she shouldn’t. But listen to the way she says “Don’t say it wasn’t true, that you were not the monster… that I knew…” and then it sounds like she’s crying. and she ends with “and my world has gone dark…” and doesn’t finish like she usually does. The purpose of this song is to show that despite everything her brother did, despite the pain and fear he caused her, she still misses him. This whole song is her finding reasons not to hurt, not to grieve, to not feel because why should she miss him? He was terrible to her. But she realised that she misses him because that was her brother. Maybe he ripped the heads off her Barbies, but he still played general and soldier with her while their parents fought. He still picked her a flower and said ‘it’s missing a petal, just like you’re missing a few screws upstairs’, yet the flower was beautiful. He was her first friend. And she loved him and she hates herself for it. That’s the beauty of this song. It shows Zoe’s true persona. A broken, grieving girl who lost her big brother. The first stages of grief, of course, are denial and anger.
wholeheartedly agreed. i’m not trying to dismiss zoe’s trauma, but i feel like it’s so clear that her part in requiem is her refusing to humanize him because of her trauma. the way i see it, she wouldve been really upset at his treatment to her when his mental state got bad, she mightve kept hoping that he would get better and stop abusing her, only to be disappointed - so she gives up and villainizes him completely, even after he kills himself. to me, her verses seems like she’s trying to avoid grieving, and chooses to only see the bad in him to defend her actions. “i could *give in* to all of the gloom,” “don’t tell me that it wasn’t black and white. after all you put me through, don’t say it wasn’t true, that you are not the monster that i knew.” i do wish we could see what exactly caused connor’s depression and anxiety though.
beeyoungkah You take it as a compliment. As someone who has been trying to build up the confidence to post my animatic, this is very good. This is outstanding to be a first animatic.
Penguin Paridise well then, thank you so much! I'm really sorry. I'm an idiot who doesnt know how to accept compliments. Aaahh... im so sorry. And i sure hope you'll post your first animatic! I'd love to see it! :D
For anyone hating on ANY of the Murphys: The whole point, in my perspective, of the family dynamic of the Murphys was to show that when someone you know, love, or are related to commits suicide, there is no one right way to feel. Honestly every emotion is valid Sadness that they were feeling this way and they are gone and the whole grieving process is crushing you Anger for the fact that they “threw it all away” and you know, abandoned you Relief that now they might be in a better place Guilt for not doing better, or guilt over feeling any of the above emotions Or denial of one of the above emotions. I’m just saying, that they’re all doing the best they can, it’s not easy, it’s messy, and no matter how you or me or anyone else would’ve dealt, this is how *they* dealt, and that’s one of my fav things about this story.
I think what's really sad about this part of the story is that Connor's mother is really the only one grieving. The thing about family tragedies is that... It's a family tragedy! When a family member dies, the entirely family is usually affected, so at least that way, you're not alone; at least you have someone with you who understands the loss you're experiencing. But this wasn't the case with Cynthia. She's the only one feeling loss and it was causing more fights between her and the rest of the family. Perhaps if it weren't for Evan, the Murphy's probably would've broken apart to even more pieces
Angie as someone explained, everyone was mourning in their own way. Cynthia was in the denial stage of grieving while Zoe and Larry were in the anger stage of grief.
[ZOE] Why should I play this game of pretend? Remembering through a secondhand sorrow? Such a great son and wonderful friend Oh, don't the tears just pour I could curl up and hide in my room There in my bed, still sobbing tomorrow I could give in to all of the gloom But tell me, tell me what for Why should I have a heavy heart? Why should I start to break in pieces? Why should I go and fall apart for you? Why should I play the grieving girl and lie Saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark without your light? I will sing no requiem tonight [LARRY, spoken] I'm going to bed. [CYNTHIA, spoken] Come sit with me. [LARRY] Cynthia. [CYNTHIA] You can't stand to be in this room for five minutes? [LARRY] I'm exhausted. [CYNTHIA] You know, Larry, at some point you're going to have to start dealing- [LARRY] Not tonight. Please. [CYNTHIA] Just read this. [LARRY] I'll keep the light on for you [LARRY, sung] I gave you the world, you threw it away Leaving these broken pieces behind you Everything wasted, nothing to say So I can sing no requiem [CYNTHIA] I hear your voice, I feel you near Within these words, I finally find you And now that I know that you are still here I will sing no requiem tonight [ZOE & LARRY] Why should I have a heavy heart? [ZOE] Why should I say I'll keep you with me? Why should I go and fall apart for you? Why should I play the grieving girl and lie Saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark without your light? (I can see your light) I will sing no requiem Tonight 'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep No one lights a candle to remember No, no one mourns at all When they lay them down to sleep So, don't tell me that I didn't have it right Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white After all you put me through Don't say it wasn't true That you were not the monster That I knew 'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and lie Saying that I miss you And that my world has gone dark [LARRY] I will sing no requiem [CYNTHIA] I will sing no requiem [ZOE] I will sing no requiem tonight [LARRY & CYNTHIA] Oh... oh
Nikki Beray You can see the difference when Zoe replace "Why should I play the grieving girl?" then in the last part to "I CANNOT play the grieving girl." No matter how Connor abuse her physically and verbally; she wanted to believe that he's a good person but couldn't for all what he did to her. As to why both Zoe and their father don't want to mourn him since they thought Connor wasn't trying enough to connect with them like how they expected him to do. But for Cynthia: she still believed that Connor was still with them and a kind-hearted person since she "heard his voice."
Margaret May Alojipan Ga its not that easy to forgive especially when the person in question is someone you wouldn't expect to be the one to hurt you. but mothers are a totally different subject. even if their own child stabs them to death, they would never hold a grudge.
#1 I love this animatic so much. The effort you put into it and the emotion in the scenes is just... inincredible #2 I love the details of Connor's abusive behavior. Lots of people love to portray him as this different guy who never did anything wrong, when in reality he was a mentally ill kid and a terrible person. This really shows how Zoe doesn't feel right mourning for someone who abused her. #3 I love the detail you did with the parents, with you showing how emotional Cynthia was when she was reading the letters and how cold yet conflicted Larry was holding the baseball glove. It's an amazing portrayal really of how Larry and Cynthia tried to get to their son, but they didn't try hard enough. #4 I hope to see more animatics from you. This was amazing. Kudos for your first one.
You're Reading My Name, Aren't You? OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG YOUR COMMENT IS GIVING ME LIFE!! AAAAAAAAAHHH HURL ME AT THE SUN!!! YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAILS is just so MAGNIFICENT!! Thank you!!! Thank youuu!!!
You're Reading My Name, Aren't You? Okay, 1, Connor wasn't a terrible person. Sure, he did some bad things and he wasnt the nicest, but the thing was that he had mental issues that werent being taken care of. If he got meds or went to therapy it would have turned out much better for him but he didnt get what he needed.
And 2, larry didnt try to get through to connor. He thought that the fact that connor commited suicide was a huge waste, and that all his hard work was wasted, like connor was some project that didnt turn out right. He didnt feel sad that connor died, he was angry that he did it, that all his hard work was ruined.
I actually see Connor’s treatment of Zoe as a classic cry for help. It’s pretty well known that most bullies are suffering deeply from various mental conditions... it isn’t as simple as merely being abusive and doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a terrible person. From this whole song I’ve actually always seen it as the way people deal with grief. Cynthia edges sort of towards denial... believing Connor is still there and refusing to acknowledge that he’s truly gone. Zoe and Larry both edge towards anger with Zoe focusing on all the reasons she should be glad he’s dead, rather than fall apart, and Larry framing it as a waste rather than facing the thought that maybe he failed somehow. They’re all very normal stages of grief and I kind of think the entire point of the play is lost when we judge any of them. The real villain here is mental illness... whether borderline personality disorder/depression in Connor, extreme social anxiety in Evan that leads to him lying to try avoiding social stress/embarrassment, and the reactions of healthy people without these issues trying to make sense of the fallout of people succumbing in various ways to their illness and acting under the influence of them.
I've never seen Dear Evan Hansen, but the music within it is gorgeous. I think your animatic clearly portrays how Connor abused Zoe when they were growing and how she doesn't understand how he could be a good friend to anyone. And how even his parents don't feel anything after his death. Which is what you want from an animatic, to be able to tell what they are going through with the beauty of the music and the glorious-ness of the drawings. It also shows how his mother wants to be closer to him, but could never manage to do it. That she loves him, but can't show it due to the lack of relationship between them. Absolutely jaw-dropping. Well done.
BooBoo Reviews okay i dont know where to even start so let me just say THANK YOU! Thank you so so so so so much for watching this! You made so many excellent points in your comment and it really made me so happy. Thank you so much! You are fantastic!
I've only just seen this reply, and I had honestly forgot I commented. But that I am very much welcome, all of what I said is completely true, because you're animatic is purely so beautiful. You earn all the awesome points for making this, continue to make such beautiful things like this. And if you wouldn't mind my suggesting a song for you, "Good For You". Another Dear Evan Hansen song, but I believe you will be able to bring out all of the beautiful-ness inside of the song and turn it into something magical. Good luck for the future!
This must have taken forever to draw and animate.. amazing job! Definitely worth it, we can see all the sentiment and effort in this, plus your drawing style is excellent
It's amasing! You captured perfectly the emotions of the characters . Your drawing style is beautiful and i really like how you drew zoey! Also, *cries*
This is PHENOMENAL! The art is so beautiful and the symbolism and emotions are done perfectly. I am in awe of how amazingly you interspersed scenes of Zoe terrified as a child being tormented by Connor. The little details like Mr. Murphy holding the baseball glove were also super poignant. This animatic is simply fantastic, and I am going to rewatch it until I've committed every frame to memory
CaptainQuirky And here I am just... jaw touching the floor at your wondeful wonderful comment... i'm just... wOW... I'm super happy that you picked up on those details and told me so in the comments :3 THANK YOUUUUUUU
Thank YOU! I'm super happy that you shared this wonderful video with us! This is already probably my 6th or 7th time watching it- I just love it so much!
All my hope is pinned on Zoe. That scene gets me every single time I watch this animation. She’s feeling the guilt of hating Connor, and she reads the note fully believing that Connor loved her deep down (He could’ve, but Zoe doesn’t think he did at all, and this note made her think again), and she also is realizing she’ll never be able to forgive him for what he did.
Holy cow, this is great! I've actually never seen the full musical but I really enjoy this song and I've watched just about all the animatics for it. The point being, this is the best animatic I've seen for this song, period. For all the other animatics I've had to look in the comments to get an explanation of the story but this one tells the story and everything you need to know through the visuals. It's such a breath of fresh air, and something that I believe is really hard to get just right. I actually learned more about these characters' backstories in this animatic than all the others and the youtube comments combined. Bravo! Not to mention the art is spectacular. Thank you for this beautiful contribution to the Dear Evan Hansen animatics.
Same ! When I heard the song the first time I just thought that she wasn't sad because the guy was dead ( it happens not to be sad when someone die ) and know it's all clear ^^ amazing job !
The fact that it was Zoe being told to not pick on Connor breaks my heart. That's what goes on in so many households. So I feel Zoe's pain. It happens in my own life. I'm the one that gets told to be nice, when really sometimes I'm not in the wrong. I also get told not to make such a big deal over small things and crying about them. And I assume that's also what goes on with Zoe. But I would be so heartbroken if I ever lost my little brother. I love him to death. Beautiful animation! I love the way you did the visions! And the part where they came to realize he was gone, oh, it hurts. Thank you!!
this is so gorgeous!! sometimes with animatics you get a beautifully drawn thumbnail and more basic drawings but yours was somehow even better than the thumbnail! your style is enviable - the perfect blend of cartoon and realistic. please please please keep it up!
IT'S 3 AM HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CRY-- No but seriously this is beautiful for your first animatic, especially the little details. The memory of Connor throwing that baseball at Zoe, his ghost hugging his mother ( or maybe she imagines he'd do it? ) or how Zoe felt about how everyone told her to stop being mean to her brother and how it made her feel. Your Animatic captures the tone and emotion of this song very well and I am so glad you made it. Thank you for this piece of art!
Cybork AAAAAAAHHHH!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️ and that wasn't Connor's ghost ahahaha that was sort of a symbolism of Connor's letters being a source of comfort for Cynthia. "Now that I know that you are still here" and also sorta yes, it's like an imaginary hug from Connor, at least in Cynthia's point of view hahaha
beeyoungkah I assumed as much since it seemed to fit a lot better than that "ghost hug" idea, haha! But it's it's a lovely detail and it just adds so much to the desperation of Cynthia about losing her son and how she longs to be able to hug him again and aahh it's just a lovely detail and I can honestly say this entire Animatic is one of my favorites?? Especially the little cut ins at the duet parts and how the just complement each other and the emotions very well-- I'm rambling now but yeah, it's a great animatic and I like how you can definitely see the love and thought put into it!
You drew my emotions so perfectly.. I have a brother exactly like Conner was. Only worse. And he is still alive, and he's hurting my family again. Ever since I found this song I can't help but cry. Zoe and I feel the same in the exact same context. I know my brother isn't dead but he destroyed our family. I'm 17, almost an adult now. And he's torn our family apart. I cant help but feel if he did die.. i wouldn't sing a requiem for him then either. He's hurt so many people. The last straw was going to a family reunion recently and finding out he abused my cousin as well when she was a little girl. And the scene when Zoe says Conner was banging on her door screaming how he would kill her for no reason. That happened to me. It happened to both me and my mother. We called the police. And dad wouldn't do anything. Now we all have trust issues. And this animatic, it's us. Thank you for drawing this, I always want to draw what I see and feel but I cant. Thank you for helping me. I showed this to my dad last night and he said "somebody feels the same way you do." Thank you.
TheMermaid Marsh Wow, thank you for sharing. It's amazing how music and theatre help people even in little ways. I hope you are ok and you are safe. You are very brave for sharing your story. Thank you.
An updated thought. (That's my other account). I just noticed. My mother is mimicking Conner's mom now. She knows what my brother did.. but since he's her son she's not willing to let him go. Even though he always only hurts her she can't manage to let him go
beeyoungkah I just wanted to thank you again for drawing this. I watch it sometimes when I'm thinking about it all. It helps me a lot. More than you will ever know. Just thank you so much.
As someone who actually hasn't seen the musical but is obsessed with the soundtrack, the animatics grant a much clearer insight into the raw emotions of the characters. This one especially because you're given a visual as to what the family went through with Connor. This was really well done. Awesome job!
My gosh?? Like this is the most amazing animatic I've seen so far! Like the expressions, proportions, everything looks so perfect! I'm glad that I saw this. You have a new sub! Here before 1 thousand :)
why does this one not have more views? dang it ok I have a brother still alive but has done/kinda still does do drugs and this song from the sister's point of view is so me. all of her memories in this I can totally relate to in every way it is actually a little scary. especially the " I'll kill you" part. Thank you for making this.
I feel the same! I have a (now estranged) brother who's very similar to Connor. It's pretty rare to see negative or non-existent relationships between siblings portrayed in media, so I always appreciate when I see a character I can relate to like Zoe. I think beeyoungkah captured it so amazingly! It feels like they looked directly into my mind!
Yeah due to drugs, my brother has now schizophrenia, paranoia, bi-polar issues, social anxiety, anxiety in general, and depression. people don't really stop to consider that the drugs affect your brain to the point you can't even think even when you're not high really. He once got in a car wreck high and it snapped his neck. the doctors said he would most likely be paralyzed but by the grace of God he actually isn't. I only fear that one day that might be the case for him, or he takes one too strong and it either A: basically turns him into a vegetable or B: actually kills him. But the scariest possible reality is that if that were to happen, I might feel like Zoe where I don't even care. now I do have moments where I DO care for him, but he has been so in and out of my life that I don't care if he lives with me or is in jail or prison.
That sounds really tough! I've always known drugs were dangerous but I've never had anyone in my life addicted to them, so your story really gives me some perspective on that. Yeah, my brother has Aspergers, and in my parents' mind, him having any form of mental illness means I need to forgive him and love him no matter how he acts- that's why the part of the video where Zoe's parents are telling /her/ to stop picking on /him/ resonates with me. But I definitely relate to what you said about perhaps not caring even if he did pass away. I haven't seen him for 2 years, so he hasn't been someone I've considered a loved one for a while. Recently, I heard that he had gotten punched in the face and had his nose broken and orbital bone fractured, and I felt a little bad about that, but mainly because the event upset my parents, I think. I definitely don't want my brother living with me, but whether he's just far away or in jail for his crimes doesn't really matter to me.
This animatic and song helped me get through my cousin and best friends suicide. It still hurts and I’m still in shock. He killed himself 2 days before my graduation. I didnt want to cry at my grad but I did. I miss him terribly.
Queen Psycho I'm very sorry for your loss... it makes me happy to know that my animatic helped a bit. I know you must have heard this a lot, but I really hope you're doing well. Thank you for sharing :)
My favorite part of this song is Zoe's line "After all you put me through, don't say it wasn't true! That you were not the monster that I knew" It's a heartbreaking catharsis to hear her basically telling Connor's ghost that he doesn't get to act like he was a tortured soul after he's dead and make her feel bad for not missing him when all he did in life was make her miserable. She's rejecting the idea that him being troubled and mentally ill excuses what he did to her and her pain that he caused. It's very powerful and I think it's really incredible to see it in Zoe's character
2:42 Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep, No one lights a candle to remember No, no one mourns at all When they lay them down to sleep Simpler version: No one Mornes the Wicked
I relate to Zoe a lot. I have an twin brother who has been abusive my whole life with parents who were distant. I would get blamed for his behavior. I don't know how I would react to his death but it would probably resemble Zoe's reaction.
I adore this because I think you beautifully capture the nuances of different people dealing with intense grief. We have Cynthia’s denial and Zoe/Larry’s similar but opposing forms of anger. You can so easily see Zoe holding on to anger and trying to keep the pain of loss at bay by focusing on all the ways she suffered with how Connor treated her, and then the beautiful way in which that anger starts to crumble as she wonders if she’d been wrong about him all along and desperately doesn’t want that’s to be the case. Then there’s Larry who also tries to be angry at Connor for throwing away the life he was given as a deflection to not see HIMSELF as a failure for having missed any warning signs. It’s just so amazing and I feel you captured the grieving process so beautifully in this animatic... phenomenal job, it’s rare to see one perfectly capture the spirit of the lyrics and overall message of the musical ❤️
I'm crying! I've watched this like 50 times on repeat and can't get over how beautiful and emotional, not to mention well-drawn it is. First animatic ever? You're a natural. Simply amazing! ♥️
Firstly, YOUR ART IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! The expressions, the body proportions, the detail, the background, the shading- all perfect! Secondly, I love the way you really showcased Connor and Zoe's relationship; it added even more emotion to this! And the additions of the letters/emails were very well used! All in all, this was absolutely stunning! I look forward to more content from you :)
the first time you listen to requiem you feel so upset but then you watch an animatic and you just start crying.....my fanfiction (I write on paper then transfer to computer/phone) is soaked with tears now
Even though Connor was a shit brother, I still feel bad, he clearly took a wrong turn in his life and he lashed out. When he needed help the most he couldn't get it. His mother didn't seem to care but now cares because she gets a piece of him, even though it was a lie. His dad is silent about it but seems to hate what Connor did in his life. Zoe knows the most about it but she still believed Evan. She believed he cared but he was still a horrible monster. Honestly this song tugs at my heartstrings, it shows how people react to death His mother is denial that he was bad His father is disappointed in Connor And Zoe was probably confused as to why he was such a horrible person and yet his letters showed he seemed to care
1st: I found this animatic. 2nd: I was like; “WOAH, this is so GOOD!” **likes instantly** 3rd: I was thinking in my head; this has got to be like your 1,000,000th animatic, UGH I bet I’m so late. 4th: Checks your channel *subscribes* 5th: Checks videos... 6th: HOLY SH- THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY HOLY MOLY. This was amazing! Looking forward to more (:
I fell in love with this song after feeling guilty I wasn’t sad about my abusive fathers death when everyone else was and this video is just so strong thank you
Oh my goodness I love this video! I can't believe it was your first animatic, it's so good! I really like your art as well as the way you showed Zoe's memories of her brother.
**deep bi sigh** WORDS FAIL WORDS FAIL THERES NOTHING I CAN SAY- EXCEPT SOMETIMES YOU THINK OF EVERYTHING YOU WANTED AND SOMETIMES YOU THINK OF EVERYTHING YOU WISH YOU HAD AND ITS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE, RIIGHT HEERE IN FRONT OF ME
See, this video is great because at 0:33 you can see the precise moment when you KNOW it's gonna fuck you up emotionally. You kicked so much ass with this!
Ok I'm freaking out about this being your first animatic, this is soooooooooo well made!!!! I love your drawing style, who did you sell your soul to for these skills?? If I had to say something it'd maybe put more expression in their faces (they lost someone close and don't know if they should be mourning after all) but it's such a small detail compared to everything else! How it cuts to the father after following Zoe, the parallel between her and father, how the mother is reading the letter and keeping Connor near her, how we see Zoe's memories with her brother and the picture in the end with Connor's face hidden.... UGH it's so good!
I don't know if this is your first video -apparently it is on your channel- but I wanted to add that the editing is on point! (sound and image etc etc)
Mikolam07 GAAAAAAHH!! OMG THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! THANK YOU!! This is my first video/animatic and I am so glad that it is well received and there are little complaints towards my editing skills hahaha I did pitched down the song a bit because I might get a copyright strike. Do animatics get copyright strikes?
I've been watching this amimatic for ages and for some unknown reason, I haven't commented till now. I really love this amimatic and I'm pretty sure it's my favourite. You so clearly protray emotions and as someone who's currently going through whay Zoey went through, I can confirm it is 100% realistic. Both my brothers have threatened me countless times and so many other countless things and this animatic really did bring me to tears. You really did just bring so much more into the song by showing the abuse of the past. Not only did you do that, but you also managed to clearly show how the parents feel about the situation, a downfall most animatics have. Thank you for creating this, and I can't wait to see how you improve. ❤
Gosh.. This is seriously so good and moving! The details are amazing and the storytelling just heartbreaking💔 But it's so well done with such a great artstyle
Actually if you think, this song is fundamentaly like "Me inside of me" in Heathers. Just think about it. It's how everyone started s worshiping Heather after her dead and became "angel", because "she took her life". Everyone completly forgets all the harm she caused. Here Zoe is trying as hard as she can to see Connor in other light, but she just can, after all he's done.
"All my hope is pinned on Zoe." Reading those words and thinking they were her brothers, right before it all. That's heartbreaking. Zoe being told those words were from Conner, and how she's been hurt by Evan's lies. Is what's truly heartbreaking.
I feel like this is the most accurate depiction of Zoe's feelings I've ever seen. The fandom demonizes her, when it's clear she's been hurting for years and years. I cried actual tears at the end during the photo sequence. This is beautiful.
this is literally the most emotional ive ever gotten over and animatic. something about the part where they showed connor's funeral just got to me, and i also never thought about the fact that Zoe believed what was in the note?? idk I'm an emotione mess rn
This is amazing. Your art style is phenomenal in its detail and realism and the way you presented how Zoe felt about the fact that Connor's attitude towards her juxtaposed his supposed suicide note and how he was always prioritized over her, and added in that film reel of how their relationship changed through the years was an incredible touch. My only comment is about how it seemed rather static in some parts. I feel like you could've shown more emotion in some of the character's faces, and perhaps used more/different frames at a time, or even just subtly tweak a few frames to show some change in the character's actions. But those are just my two cents, and I greatly enjoyed this animatic overall, good job :)
Butterfly Taster Thank you so much! Agshagauaghsladh THANK YOU! I struggle with placing emotions on faces. Thanks for giving me feedback. I'll try and improve or incorporate it in the next animatic. You telling me what to improve on helps a lot and i really appreciate you saying it in a nice way. Thank you!!
Anything to help a fellow artist out :) I find that you can convey more emotion through the eyebrows, eyes, mouths and how you twist them, and definitely shadows.
This is absolutely amazing! The way you portray the emotions with their expressions is just amazing! I absolutely LOVE your style! I can't wait to see the other things you will post on here! Keep up the amazing work!❤️❤️❤️
The picture you put in the end was amazing. The fact that you can't see Connor's face just makes you cry. It makes you understand he actually died. It's like taking the picture and just get him out of it. I liked the fact that you put Connor there... huging the mother ans so. I wouldnt have loved this song without the animation
I love how in the painting at the end, you can see everyone’s face clearly, but the light reflecting off the glass hides connor’s face. Truly a work of art
I just love how you captured the three different attempts of them to cope with their grief so perfect! There is Zoe whos world is falling apart because her brother who was always picking on her and being mean while never being punished for it has this (potantially) other sweet side which she can't belive really existed in the first place. There is the mother who findes peace in those fake mails because she finally sees the son she always liked to pretend she had. And there is the father who can't really belive it and tries to cope with his death through Evan (at least later) I love your work!❤️❤️❤️ (Sorry for the wrong gramma i'm from austria and it's late here... )
... I don’t know how to vocalise my thoughts right now. That was genuinely amazing wtf. The art style is beautiful and the transition between each frame was, just pleasing tbh. You can really feel their sadness through the video and how they all have a different reason for not having a requiem, it’s brilliant Amazing job.
Never have I found a requiem animation better than this and this is my favorite song by them so I'm glad to have your talent working on this song. Keep it up
This speaks to me as a person who has toxic and abusive grandparents. My grandma died last year. Everyone was talking about her as if she was a good person. Now, when ever they talk about her to me and my sister they would try to make us guilty for not seeing her (we sadly live in the same house on different floors). They would say that she just "loved us so much" and "wanted to see us more". Even if it was love, taht doesn't justify what she has done to us. She. Caused. Me. Trauma. Because. Of. Her. I. Almost. Died. Once. And I may over react about the trauma, but I am pretty sure I am not. And no - I really am not blowing up that thing with the death. For serious. Thank God for my carring mom. Not just she raised us the best way possible, but didn't lie to us about our grandparents and once we started to get little bit older, even expoesing them.
All the flashes of Connor tormenting Zoe.. really drive home the song. And your expressions, wow, they're great. The detail put into this pays off!! Stunning work!!!
I love how you included a lot of details! Not only to the characters' appearances, but to the background and how the scenes are drawn so it clearly depicts what is happening while the song is being played. I hope you make more works like this.
I've been looking for a good Requiem animatic for awhile. You supplied the PERFECT one, it's all so high quality and amazing! Congrats, you've earned yourself one of many well deserved subs
somone tell me why I did no relise one of the resons she is so hurt is becuse of the line "all my hope is pinned on zoe" she thinks she failed him im going to cry
Katie Michel Wow... i have no words. Words fail... 😂😂 but OMG thank you so much!!! Thank you! I dont think i'll ever be worthy of such praise! But thank you!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
Katie Michel I don't have a deviantart but I DO have a tumblr. You can find me at beeyoungkah.tumblr.com :3 that one is also still fairly new but I post occasionally
Oh my lord it is these kind of animatics where the song never makes you cry but the way the artist pieces it together and tells the story makes you BALL!
This has got to be the most absolute and best version of requiem. It definitely captures how each one is feeling and everything in in there every little moment that they sing and everything especially with Zoe and how she's feeling and stuff. I also love the art style as well as very well done not just what the drawing of people but I also want to applaud the background as well even if it just isn't animatic or if it was a full animation either or that it would be is very awesome and well done and absolutely amazing I applaud you
wHOA WHOA I did not know it was humanly possible to be this good at drawing. Like seriously this is some black magic. No but for reals this is amazing 😁
beeyoungkah I honestly dont know. I don't have as much detail in mine ( I'm working on putting more in ) So I get it done faster? And immediately after I finish one I start working on another one sometimes. And I guess I just have too much free time 😂
Auroraistic hahaha maybe 😂😂 i do it at night after classes and projects 😂 thank the art gods i didnt get an art block when i was doing this animatic. Oh and good luck on your animatics! I'm sure you'll do amazing!! GO YOU!!!
This is so wonderfully I made. I think you captured the emotions and point of view of each character perfectly, your art is absolutely beautiful, and I love the memories of Connor present throughout the house. I can't explain how much I love this. It's honestly one of the best animatics I've ever seen.
See this animatic perfectly portrays mourning for someone you don't believe you should mourning for. I'm going threw a situation where people want me to mourn for this person but the stuff he put me threw and then they say that he loved me more than anything . Why should I mourn for that person . Anyways this shows that everyone mourns differently
Wow. Just wow. You're amazing! You need to do more! This is absolutely beautiful, I could feel the emotions pouring out. So realistic, too! And all done digitally. Amazing.

Thank you so much for watching my animatic! It means a lot to me! Thank you thank you!
Some things to address the common questions:
1) Yes the audio is pitched down a bit. I thought I would get a copyright strike if I used the original audio. Someone told me i wont so I'll use the original audio in the next animatic
2) this really is my first animatic. Which is why I'm incredibly proud to finish it. It took me two weeks, since I've been doing it late at night after I've done schoolwork and projects
3) I've noticed that some of you guys were asking if i had a DA account or tumblr. I have a DA account but I don't post there. I haven't posted anything there in a long long while lmao. I DO have a tumblr.
Find me at beeyoungkah.tumblr.com or @beeyoungkah on instagram if you wanna see more of my drawings or see little updates on the animatics im working on. My DA is beeyoungkah.deviantart.com but I doubt you'll find anything worthwhile there lol
It's cool if you don't though. I'm just gonna leave this here for people who are interested. Thank you so much for watching my animatic and for leaving likes and comments! You guys are so nice! Thank you!!! ❤️
beeyoungkah Sadly, I don't have Tumblr, but I'm sure it's beautiful.
StoryTheShadow 563 bahaha please 😂 it's mostly just reblogs of musical stuff. I post drawings occasionally but not often as I'd like 😅 maybe that's also the reason why I haven't created a DA account yet

beeyoungkah I think the pitched down audio sounds cool with though! Awesome job.

"All my hope is pinned on Zoe..." let that sink in... She thinks its true. And she hates herself for hating him, but she CANT HELP IT😫😭 This gets me.
Emilia Faye May be Connor actually think that. He already planned his suicide, why would he kept the letter anyway? He neatly keep it with him, not for returning, but for confession he never had a chance to make.
@@TrebleMuave according to the novel, he took it as a insult. Even his ghost referenced it as evan pulling a fast one . His last message to the world was writing his name on Evan's cast
@@samukajabateh1640 different medias, different stories. I don't doubt Steven Levenson, the writer of the script, intended that to be true. There's a reason he's the most requested writer in Broadway right now
@@adami6187 why do you doubt that? Are you Steven Levensen?
I will always and forever adore how Zoe is the one who says "Why should I play the grieving girl and lie saying that I miss you and my world has gone dark without your light." while Larry says that " *my world has gone dark without your light* "
It will forever break my heart that above all that was wrong with Connor, Larry still loved his son.
I love that she doesn’t change what she remembers of her brother. She refuses to act like he was a perfect human being that treated her like a princess. He was obviously a jerk. She shouldn’t have to miss him if she truly doesn’t.
KaylaDearmanMusic he wasn’t a bad person. He was bipolar and had issues. Have you actually read the book?
Depressed Kermit When is it stated that she abused her sister?
He had issues and treated his sister badly, but his family never committed to helping him. You can’t really blame one person here.
Depressed Kermit She never says that he abused her. You should really read the book.
BlueRacoon owo but this isn’t the book, this is the musical.
woah...this animatic captures the emotion and zoe she got abused by Connor and how the family doesnt even feel no emotion after his death??? wow I really like this animatic
I know everyone talks about Conner abusing Zoe, but I havent seen the musical in person, so could someone tell me, what did he do? I haven't been able to find anything that says and I'm genuinely curious.
Stephanie Pagano
According to Zoe, Connor once came to her room and started banging on her door, screaming "I'm going to kill you!" like we see in the film reel in the animatic, so a lot of people have inferred that he abused her verbally and was generally unstable
Butterfly Taster I'm not making any excuses for him, what he did was wrong, but no one got him help when he needed it. He was clearly mentally unstable yet his family did nothing. Thats the thing about this musical: Not a single character is innocent and free from blame, no one was perfect.
Zebra Llama
It wasn't my intent to pin all the blame on Connor, in fact, I agree with you. I was just making a neutral statement based on what information the musical supplied on the topic of why Zoe doesn't want to mourn Connor. That's also why I said "a lot of people have inferred"-- as in I was being impartial. Just wanted to clear that up, since I truly do wish something was done to help Connor.
Though in a cut (can I call it cut? Is that the right term?) song called "In the Bedroom Down the Hall" Cynthia reveals that he had actually been going to therapy ("maybe they could take away the anger in his eyes"), so I suppose they hadn't completely just sat back and watched.
Sorry this got too long, just wanted to put it out there.
natsukashii maybe not abused thats just how some brothers and sisters acted and it wasn't all conners fault he was messed up in the head. He didnt have anyone to care for him, or that was just he thought. he just didn't reach out to his family. Maybe I haven't seen the musical yet.
GOOD ANIMATIC
Bruh I remember singing “I will sing aquarium” XD
lol
HAHAHAHA
How does "no requiem" Turn into "aquarium"?
LOL
Haha I remember singing
"Why should I play the breathing girl?" Thats what I thought the lyrics were
I thought that Connor and Zoe were close as kids tho? Like, from what was said in the dialogue, plus how Zoe says "you've given me my brother *back* " it seems more like at some point Connor started struggling a lot with his mental illnesses and stuff and everything went downhill and no one in the family really knew how to deal with it. So yes, Connor abused his sister with his outbursts and stuff, but their parents never fully committed to helping Connor get the treatment he needed, especially Larry, who used to say that Connor was just 'pretending for attention' and stuff, and during the time that we got to see Zoe interact with Connor at the start of the musical, she seemed to be teasing him a lot and stuff, which, I guess is fair, but it still makes me think about how their parents' careless attitude towards Connor might have rubbed off on her as well in some way, and, well, I'm just saying that it wasn't all Connor's fault. It was the whole family who was messed up, some more and some less, but they all could have handled it all better nonetheless.
Edit: oh, also, the removed songs from the musical described how Connor used to be happy as a kid, and how he liked to tell jokes a lot and stuff, so yey, more evidence that Connor isn't an entirely bad person I guess :'>
Terēze Locika i have to agree, especially with some of the lyrics in this song. It seems that she is struggling because she does miss him but at the same time is struggling to come to terms with how much je struggled in the end
i dont see him as a bad person, my brother where the same way they where mean but i cant hate them i just cant
in the books it goes into detail about Connor and Zoe
@@user-os9sd5oe4w Thats the thing I love about this musical, there aren't really any villains or bad guys, just mistakes that where taken too far.
isn't Connor the guy who is trying to get Even's sister? and isn't it Even that had the mental illness?
everyone says that this animatic is amazing because it shows that Zoe shouldn’t miss Connor because he was terrible to her, and she doesn’t miss him because she shouldn’t. But listen to the way she says “Don’t say it wasn’t true, that you were not the monster… that I knew…” and then it sounds like she’s crying. and she ends with “and my world has gone dark…” and doesn’t finish like she usually does. The purpose of this song is to show that despite everything her brother did, despite the pain and fear he caused her, she still misses him. This whole song is her finding reasons not to hurt, not to grieve, to not feel because why should she miss him? He was terrible to her.
But she realised that she misses him because that was her brother. Maybe he ripped the heads off her Barbies, but he still played general and soldier with her while their parents fought. He still picked her a flower and said ‘it’s missing a petal, just like you’re missing a few screws upstairs’, yet the flower was beautiful.
He was her first friend. And she loved him and she hates herself for it.
That’s the beauty of this song. It shows Zoe’s true persona. A broken, grieving girl who lost her big brother.
The first stages of grief, of course, are denial and anger.
Why isn’t your comment more popular?! This was kind of what I was thinking as well 😊
Well said!
This is very well said. I completely disagree but it's very well said and a cool perspective on it
wholeheartedly agreed. i’m not trying to dismiss zoe’s trauma, but i feel like it’s so clear that her part in requiem is her refusing to humanize him because of her trauma. the way i see it, she wouldve been really upset at his treatment to her when his mental state got bad, she mightve kept hoping that he would get better and stop abusing her, only to be disappointed - so she gives up and villainizes him completely, even after he kills himself. to me, her verses seems like she’s trying to avoid grieving, and chooses to only see the bad in him to defend her actions. “i could *give in* to all of the gloom,” “don’t tell me that it wasn’t black and white. after all you put me through, don’t say it wasn’t true, that you are not the monster that i knew.” i do wish we could see what exactly caused connor’s depression and anxiety though.
Wait if this is the first animatic....
Imagine the improvement!
"First" animatic. Lies. Witchcraft. Fake news. This is too good to be a first animatic. It captures so much emotion.
Penguin Paridise hahaha i dont know how to respond to that....
beeyoungkah You take it as a compliment. As someone who has been trying to build up the confidence to post my animatic, this is very good. This is outstanding to be a first animatic.
Penguin Paridise well then, thank you so much! I'm really sorry. I'm an idiot who doesnt know how to accept compliments. Aaahh... im so sorry.
And i sure hope you'll post your first animatic! I'd love to see it! :D

For anyone hating on ANY of the Murphys:
The whole point, in my perspective, of the family dynamic of the Murphys was to show that when someone you know, love, or are related to commits suicide, there is no one right way to feel.
Honestly every emotion is valid
Sadness that they were feeling this way and they are gone and the whole grieving process is crushing you
Anger for the fact that they “threw it all away” and you know, abandoned you
Relief that now they might be in a better place
Guilt for not doing better, or guilt over feeling any of the above emotions
Or denial of one of the above emotions.
I’m just saying, that they’re all doing the best they can, it’s not easy, it’s messy, and no matter how you or me or anyone else would’ve dealt, this is how *they* dealt, and that’s one of my fav things about this story.
I think what's really sad about this part of the story is that Connor's mother is really the only one grieving. The thing about family tragedies is that... It's a family tragedy! When a family member dies, the entirely family is usually affected, so at least that way, you're not alone; at least you have someone with you who understands the loss you're experiencing. But this wasn't the case with Cynthia. She's the only one feeling loss and it was causing more fights between her and the rest of the family. Perhaps if it weren't for Evan, the Murphy's probably would've broken apart to even more pieces
Angie I think they're all grieving in their own way.
Angie as someone explained, everyone was mourning in their own way. Cynthia was in the denial stage of grieving while Zoe and Larry were in the anger stage of grief.
"Your lie is the only thing keeping them together"
"It saved their marriage"

@@Phoebe457 wHY DOE STHAT SOUND FAMILIAR THO
cristina cuadrasal if you’re recognising it from DEH, the first is a line that Connor says in act 2 and the second is something Zoe says later on
[ZOE]
Why should I play this game of pretend?
Remembering through a secondhand sorrow?
Such a great son and wonderful friend
Oh, don't the tears just pour
I could curl up and hide in my room
There in my bed, still sobbing tomorrow
I could give in to all of the gloom
But tell me, tell me what for
Why should I have a heavy heart?
Why should I start to break in pieces?
Why should I go and fall apart for you?
Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark without your light?
I will sing no requiem tonight
[LARRY, spoken]
I'm going to bed.
[CYNTHIA, spoken]
Come sit with me.
[LARRY]

Not tonight. Please.

Just read this.
[LARRY]
I'll keep the light on for you
[LARRY, sung]
I gave you the world, you threw it away
Leaving these broken pieces behind you
Everything wasted, nothing to say
So I can sing no requiem
[CYNTHIA]
I hear your voice, I feel you near
Within these words, I finally find you
And now that I know that you are still here
I will sing no requiem tonight
[ZOE & LARRY]
Why should I have a heavy heart?
[ZOE]
Why should I say I'll keep you with me?
Why should I go and fall apart for you?
Why should I play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark without your light?
(I can see your light)
I will sing no requiem
Tonight
'Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep
No one lights a candle to remember
No, no one mourns at all
When they lay them down to sleep
So, don't tell me that I didn't have it right
Don't tell me that it wasn't black and white
After all you put me through
Don't say it wasn't true
That you were not the monster
That I knew
'Cause I cannot play the grieving girl and lie
Saying that I miss you
And that my world has gone dark
[LARRY]
I will sing no requiem

I will sing no requiem
[ZOE]
I will sing no requiem tonight
[LARRY & CYNTHIA]
Oh... oh
Nikki Beray You can see the difference when Zoe replace "Why should I play the grieving girl?" then in the last part to "I CANNOT play the grieving girl." No matter how Connor abuse her physically and verbally; she wanted to believe that he's a good person but couldn't for all what he did to her. As to why both Zoe and their father don't want to mourn him since they thought Connor wasn't trying enough to connect with them like how they expected him to do. But for Cynthia: she still believed that Connor was still with them and a kind-hearted person since she "heard his voice."
Margaret May Alojipan Ga its not that easy to forgive especially when the person in question is someone you wouldn't expect to be the one to hurt you. but mothers are a totally different subject. even if their own child stabs them to death, they would never hold a grudge.
Thanks!
#1 I love this animatic so much. The effort you put into it and the emotion in the scenes is just... inincredible
#2 I love the details of Connor's abusive behavior. Lots of people love to portray him as this different guy who never did anything wrong, when in reality he was a mentally ill kid and a terrible person. This really shows how Zoe doesn't feel right mourning for someone who abused her.
#3 I love the detail you did with the parents, with you showing how emotional Cynthia was when she was reading the letters and how cold yet conflicted Larry was holding the baseball glove. It's an amazing portrayal really of how Larry and Cynthia tried to get to their son, but they didn't try hard enough.
#4 I hope to see more animatics from you. This was amazing. Kudos for your first one.
You're Reading My Name, Aren't You? OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG YOUR COMMENT IS GIVING ME LIFE!! AAAAAAAAAHHH HURL ME AT THE SUN!!! YOUR ATTENTION TO DETAILS is just so MAGNIFICENT!! Thank you!!! Thank youuu!!!
beeyoungkah You're welcome! You deserve it!
You're Reading My Name, Aren't You? Okay, 1, Connor wasn't a terrible person. Sure, he did some bad things and he wasnt the nicest, but the thing was that he had mental issues that werent being taken care of. If he got meds or went to therapy it would have turned out much better for him but he didnt get what he needed.
And 2, larry didnt try to get through to connor. He thought that the fact that connor commited suicide was a huge waste, and that all his hard work was wasted, like connor was some project that didnt turn out right. He didnt feel sad that connor died, he was angry that he did it, that all his hard work was ruined.
I actually see Connor’s treatment of Zoe as a classic cry for help. It’s pretty well known that most bullies are suffering deeply from various mental conditions... it isn’t as simple as merely being abusive and doesn’t necessarily mean he’s a terrible person.
From this whole song I’ve actually always seen it as the way people deal with grief. Cynthia edges sort of towards denial... believing Connor is still there and refusing to acknowledge that he’s truly gone. Zoe and Larry both edge towards anger with Zoe focusing on all the reasons she should be glad he’s dead, rather than fall apart, and Larry framing it as a waste rather than facing the thought that maybe he failed somehow. They’re all very normal stages of grief and I kind of think the entire point of the play is lost when we judge any of them. The real villain here is mental illness... whether borderline personality disorder/depression in Connor, extreme social anxiety in Evan that leads to him lying to try avoiding social stress/embarrassment, and the reactions of healthy people without these issues trying to make sense of the fallout of people succumbing in various ways to their illness and acting under the influence of them.
THIS DESCRIBES HOW ALL THE CHARACTERS FEEL PERFECTLY I AM ACTUALLY IN LOVE I WOULD MARRY THIS ANIMATIC IF I COULD MY GOD
Komaru Naegi HAHAHAHAHA 😂😂
OH mY gOd iT's A MahIRu
I've never seen Dear Evan Hansen, but the music within it is gorgeous. I think your animatic clearly portrays how Connor abused Zoe when they were growing and how she doesn't understand how he could be a good friend to anyone. And how even his parents don't feel anything after his death. Which is what you want from an animatic, to be able to tell what they are going through with the beauty of the music and the glorious-ness of the drawings. It also shows how his mother wants to be closer to him, but could never manage to do it. That she loves him, but can't show it due to the lack of relationship between them. Absolutely jaw-dropping. Well done.
BooBoo Reviews okay i dont know where to even start so let me just say THANK YOU! Thank you so so so so so much for watching this! You made so many excellent points in your comment and it really made me so happy. Thank you so much! You are fantastic!
I've only just seen this reply, and I had honestly forgot I commented. But that I am very much welcome, all of what I said is completely true, because you're animatic is purely so beautiful. You earn all the awesome points for making this, continue to make such beautiful things like this. And if you wouldn't mind my suggesting a song for you, "Good For You". Another Dear Evan Hansen song, but I believe you will be able to bring out all of the beautiful-ness inside of the song and turn it into something magical. Good luck for the future!
This must have taken forever to draw and animate.. amazing job! Definitely worth it, we can see all the sentiment and effort in this, plus your drawing style is excellent
Andrea Pazzaglia It actually makes everything worth it when I read comments like yours. So thank you so much! THANK YOU!! ❤️
It's amasing! You captured perfectly the emotions of the characters .

beeyoungkah i should thank you!!!for blessing us with a piece of art!
beeyoungkah girl you goooooooood

This is PHENOMENAL! The art is so beautiful and the symbolism and emotions are done perfectly. I am in awe of how amazingly you interspersed scenes of Zoe terrified as a child being tormented by Connor. The little details like Mr. Murphy holding the baseball glove were also super poignant. This animatic is simply fantastic, and I am going to rewatch it until I've committed every frame to memory
CaptainQuirky And here I am just... jaw touching the floor at your wondeful wonderful comment... i'm just... wOW... I'm super happy that you picked up on those details and told me so in the comments :3 THANK YOUUUUUUU
Thank YOU! I'm super happy that you shared this wonderful video with us! This is already probably my 6th or 7th time watching it- I just love it so much!
All my hope is pinned on Zoe.
That scene gets me every single time I watch this animation. She’s feeling the guilt of hating Connor, and she reads the note fully believing that Connor loved her deep down (He could’ve, but Zoe doesn’t think he did at all, and this note made her think again), and she also is realizing she’ll never be able to forgive him for what he did.
Holy cow, this is great! I've actually never seen the full musical but I really enjoy this song and I've watched just about all the animatics for it. The point being, this is the best animatic I've seen for this song, period. For all the other animatics I've had to look in the comments to get an explanation of the story but this one tells the story and everything you need to know through the visuals. It's such a breath of fresh air, and something that I believe is really hard to get just right. I actually learned more about these characters' backstories in this animatic than all the others and the youtube comments combined. Bravo! Not to mention the art is spectacular. Thank you for this beautiful contribution to the Dear Evan Hansen animatics.

WienerDoxie97 I second this 🙋🏻♀️

ainsley trash hahhaha easy there XD
beeyoungkah oH MY GOD I JUST CHOKED
They probably trolls that need a hug because they must be hurting inside if they think this is bad.
"just talk"
I feel bad for them. Life is hard for the visually impaired
The fact that it was Zoe being told to not pick on Connor breaks my heart. That's what goes on in so many households. So I feel Zoe's pain. It happens in my own life. I'm the one that gets told to be nice, when really sometimes I'm not in the wrong. I also get told not to make such a big deal over small things and crying about them. And I assume that's also what goes on with Zoe. But I would be so heartbroken if I ever lost my little brother. I love him to death.
Beautiful animation! I love the way you did the visions! And the part where they came to realize he was gone, oh, it hurts. Thank you!!
this is so gorgeous!! sometimes with animatics you get a beautifully drawn thumbnail and more basic drawings but yours was somehow even better than the thumbnail! your style is enviable - the perfect blend of cartoon and realistic. please please please keep it up!

IT'S 3 AM HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CRY--
No but seriously this is beautiful for your first animatic, especially the little details. The memory of Connor throwing that baseball at Zoe, his ghost hugging his mother ( or maybe she imagines he'd do it? ) or how Zoe felt about how everyone told her to stop being mean to her brother and how it made her feel. Your Animatic captures the tone and emotion of this song very well and I am so glad you made it. Thank you for this piece of art!
Cybork AAAAAAAHHHH!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! ❤️❤️❤️ and that wasn't Connor's ghost ahahaha that was sort of a symbolism of Connor's letters being a source of comfort for Cynthia. "Now that I know that you are still here" and also sorta yes, it's like an imaginary hug from Connor, at least in Cynthia's point of view hahaha
beeyoungkah I assumed as much since it seemed to fit a lot better than that "ghost hug" idea, haha! But it's it's a lovely detail and it just adds so much to the desperation of Cynthia about losing her son and how she longs to be able to hug him again and aahh it's just a lovely detail and I can honestly say this entire Animatic is one of my favorites?? Especially the little cut ins at the duet parts and how the just complement each other and the emotions very well--
I'm rambling now but yeah, it's a great animatic and I like how you can definitely see the love and thought put into it!
WHAT! HOW ARE YOU NOT FAMOUS YET? 😭😭😭
Andrea C. M. I'm still new to youtube hahaha 😅 But thank you so much for watching it!! ❤️
You drew my emotions so perfectly.. I have a brother exactly like Conner was. Only worse. And he is still alive, and he's hurting my family again. Ever since I found this song I can't help but cry. Zoe and I feel the same in the exact same context. I know my brother isn't dead but he destroyed our family. I'm 17, almost an adult now. And he's torn our family apart. I cant help but feel if he did die.. i wouldn't sing a requiem for him then either. He's hurt so many people. The last straw was going to a family reunion recently and finding out he abused my cousin as well when she was a little girl. And the scene when Zoe says Conner was banging on her door screaming how he would kill her for no reason. That happened to me. It happened to both me and my mother. We called the police. And dad wouldn't do anything. Now we all have trust issues. And this animatic, it's us. Thank you for drawing this, I always want to draw what I see and feel but I cant. Thank you for helping me. I showed this to my dad last night and he said "somebody feels the same way you do." Thank you.
TheMermaid Marsh Wow, thank you for sharing. It's amazing how music and theatre help people even in little ways. I hope you are ok and you are safe. You are very brave for sharing your story. Thank you.
An updated thought. (That's my other account). I just noticed. My mother is mimicking Conner's mom now. She knows what my brother did.. but since he's her son she's not willing to let him go. Even though he always only hurts her she can't manage to let him go
beeyoungkah I just wanted to thank you again for drawing this. I watch it sometimes when I'm thinking about it all. It helps me a lot. More than you will ever know. Just thank you so much.
Still come back to this in 2019, I love your work. 💕
@@HanaroseAmor Holy fuck, i hope you're okay
As someone who actually hasn't seen the musical but is obsessed with the soundtrack, the animatics grant a much clearer insight into the raw emotions of the characters. This one especially because you're given a visual as to what the family went through with Connor. This was really well done. Awesome job!
HOLY CRAP YOU NEED MORE SUBSCRIBERS THIS IS AMAZINGLY DRAWN!!!
AAAAAAAAAHHH!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much for taking time to see it
My gosh?? Like this is the most amazing animatic I've seen so far! Like the expressions, proportions, everything looks so perfect! I'm glad that I saw this. You have a new sub! Here before 1 thousand :)
Perontivine AAAAAAAA Thank you so much!!! Thank you!!!! ❤️
I love the fact that his face is blurred out in the end, that got me man
why does this one not have more views? dang it ok I have a brother still alive but has done/kinda still does do drugs and this song from the sister's point of view is so me. all of her memories in this I can totally relate to in every way it is actually a little scary. especially the " I'll kill you" part. Thank you for making this.
I feel the same! I have a (now estranged) brother who's very similar to Connor. It's pretty rare to see negative or non-existent relationships between siblings portrayed in media, so I always appreciate when I see a character I can relate to like Zoe. I think beeyoungkah captured it so amazingly! It feels like they looked directly into my mind!
Yeah due to drugs, my brother has now schizophrenia, paranoia, bi-polar issues, social anxiety, anxiety in general, and depression. people don't really stop to consider that the drugs affect your brain to the point you can't even think even when you're not high really. He once got in a car wreck high and it snapped his neck. the doctors said he would most likely be paralyzed but by the grace of God he actually isn't. I only fear that one day that might be the case for him, or he takes one too strong and it either A: basically turns him into a vegetable or B: actually kills him.
But the scariest possible reality is that if that were to happen, I might feel like Zoe where I don't even care. now I do have moments where I DO care for him, but he has been so in and out of my life that I don't care if he lives with me or is in jail or prison.
That sounds really tough! I've always known drugs were dangerous but I've never had anyone in my life addicted to them, so your story really gives me some perspective on that. Yeah, my brother has Aspergers, and in my parents' mind, him having any form of mental illness means I need to forgive him and love him no matter how he acts- that's why the part of the video where Zoe's parents are telling /her/ to stop picking on /him/ resonates with me. But I definitely relate to what you said about perhaps not caring even if he did pass away. I haven't seen him for 2 years, so he hasn't been someone I've considered a loved one for a while. Recently, I heard that he had gotten punched in the face and had his nose broken and orbital bone fractured, and I felt a little bad about that, but mainly because the event upset my parents, I think. I definitely don't want my brother living with me, but whether he's just far away or in jail for his crimes doesn't really matter to me.
Colorless Oz I’m really sorry
This art style is gorgeous. This is amazing in the imagery. I cannot believe that this is your first animatic. It's perfect!
This animatic and song helped me get through my cousin and best friends suicide.
It still hurts and I’m still in shock.
He killed himself 2 days before my graduation.
I didnt want to cry at my grad but I did.
I miss him terribly.
Queen Psycho I'm very sorry for your loss... it makes me happy to know that my animatic helped a bit. I know you must have heard this a lot, but I really hope you're doing well. Thank you for sharing :)
Holy moly this is amazing they must be so popular!
*looks at subscribers*
thiS IS NOT RIGHT!1!!!11!
Edit: Wow 1.5k! Last time I checked, there was 8.
sKreEEE HAHAHAAHAHA your comment made my day 😂 thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️
My favorite part of this song is Zoe's line "After all you put me through, don't say it wasn't true! That you were not the monster that I knew"
It's a heartbreaking catharsis to hear her basically telling Connor's ghost that he doesn't get to act like he was a tortured soul after he's dead and make her feel bad for not missing him when all he did in life was make her miserable. She's rejecting the idea that him being troubled and mentally ill excuses what he did to her and her pain that he caused. It's very powerful and I think it's really incredible to see it in Zoe's character
This made me cry. This was amazing. I don't have words.
nataliexholland neither do i because of your wonderful comment 😭❤️❤️
nataliexholland ya know what else is amazing, your profile pic
2:42 Cause when the villains fall, the kingdoms never weep, No one lights a candle to remember No, no one mourns at all When they lay them down to sleep
Simpler version: No one Mornes the Wicked
I relate to Zoe a lot. I have an twin brother who has been abusive my whole life with parents who were distant. I would get blamed for his behavior. I don't know how I would react to his death but it would probably resemble Zoe's reaction.
I hope your relationship gets better
I adore this because I think you beautifully capture the nuances of different people dealing with intense grief. We have Cynthia’s denial and Zoe/Larry’s similar but opposing forms of anger. You can so easily see Zoe holding on to anger and trying to keep the pain of loss at bay by focusing on all the ways she suffered with how Connor treated her, and then the beautiful way in which that anger starts to crumble as she wonders if she’d been wrong about him all along and desperately doesn’t want that’s to be the case. Then there’s Larry who also tries to be angry at Connor for throwing away the life he was given as a deflection to not see HIMSELF as a failure for having missed any warning signs.
It’s just so amazing and I feel you captured the grieving process so beautifully in this animatic... phenomenal job, it’s rare to see one perfectly capture the spirit of the lyrics and overall message of the musical ❤️
I'm crying! I've watched this like 50 times on repeat and can't get over how beautiful and emotional, not to mention well-drawn it is. First animatic ever? You're a natural. Simply amazing! ♥️
Firstly, YOUR ART IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!! The expressions, the body proportions, the detail, the background, the shading- all perfect! Secondly, I love the way you really showcased Connor and Zoe's relationship; it added even more emotion to this! And the additions of the letters/emails were very well used! All in all, this was absolutely stunning! I look forward to more content from you :)
Sometimes you’re grieving a better version of what they could have been.
So good. So incredibly good. Powerful, passionate, and excellent!
okay i'll stop gushing now
Angie York OMG such praise AAAAAAHHH!! Thank you SO MUCH!!! ❤️
the first time you listen to requiem you feel so upset but then you watch an animatic and you just start crying.....my fanfiction (I write on paper then transfer to computer/phone) is soaked with tears now
Holy crap! This animatic is beautiful. The art is so detailed, and it shows their emotions so well. And it's your first one! I'm very impressed
Even though Connor was a shit brother, I still feel bad, he clearly took a wrong turn in his life and he lashed out. When he needed help the most he couldn't get it. His mother didn't seem to care but now cares because she gets a piece of him, even though it was a lie. His dad is silent about it but seems to hate what Connor did in his life. Zoe knows the most about it but she still believed Evan. She believed he cared but he was still a horrible monster. Honestly this song tugs at my heartstrings, it shows how people react to death
His mother is denial that he was bad
His father is disappointed in Connor
And Zoe was probably confused as to why he was such a horrible person and yet his letters showed he seemed to care
1st: I found this animatic.
2nd: I was like; “WOAH, this is so GOOD!” **likes instantly**
3rd: I was thinking in my head; this has got to be like your 1,000,000th animatic, UGH I bet I’m so late.
4th: Checks your channel *subscribes*
5th: Checks videos...
6th: HOLY SH- THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY HOLY MOLY.
This was amazing! Looking forward to more (:
Rylie McCloskey ahaha thank you ^___^
I sincerely hope you get more recognition for this! It's 2 am here and I'm crying. I especially like the linework !!!!
Squirrall Pyawasit Its 3 am here! She is awesome though
That final portrait of the Murphys is just great, since you can see Connor's face obscured by sunlight
Ive become obsessed with this song, but solely because of this beautiful animation... Is that bad? It just never gets old
MY DUDE THIS IS FUHKING AMAZING HOLY SHIT I CANT BELIEVE IM ACTUALLY FRIENDS WITH YOU *HYPE HYPE HYPE*
beeyoungkah IVE WATCHED THIS LIKE 70 times na, Gabbie said I need to calm down
Niqui Belen hahaha you should listen to her. She is wise 😂😂
I fell in love with this song after feeling guilty I wasn’t sad about my abusive fathers death when everyone else was and this video is just so strong thank you
Oh my goodness I love this video! I can't believe it was your first animatic, it's so good! I really like your art as well as the way you showed Zoe's memories of her brother.
**deep bi sigh**
WORDS FAIL
WORDS FAIL
THERES NOTHING I CAN SAY- EXCEPT SOMETIMES YOU THINK OF EVERYTHING YOU WANTED AND SOMETIMES YOU THINK OF EVERYTHING YOU WISH YOU HAD AND ITS RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE, RIIGHT HEERE IN FRONT OF ME
This song always hits me in the feels. And this is just beautiful, I'd watch the whole show animated as amazingly as this.
See, this video is great because at 0:33 you can see the precise moment when you KNOW it's gonna fuck you up emotionally. You kicked so much ass with this!
Ok I'm freaking out about this being your first animatic, this is soooooooooo well made!!!! I love your drawing style, who did you sell your soul to for these skills?? If I had to say something it'd maybe put more expression in their faces (they lost someone close and don't know if they should be mourning after all) but it's such a small detail compared to everything else! How it cuts to the father after following Zoe, the parallel between her and father, how the mother is reading the letter and keeping Connor near her, how we see Zoe's memories with her brother and the picture in the end with Connor's face hidden.... UGH it's so good!
I don't know if this is your first video -apparently it is on your channel- but I wanted to add that the editing is on point! (sound and image etc etc)
Mikolam07 GAAAAAAHH!! OMG THANK YOU! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! THANK YOU!!
This is my first video/animatic and I am so glad that it is well received and there are little complaints towards my editing skills hahaha
I did pitched down the song a bit because I might get a copyright strike. Do animatics get copyright strikes?
beeyoungkah no they don't. At least I don't think so. All other animatics I've seen have the normal song and they're perfectly fine.
Laura Rojas ah.. is that so? Ok! Thank you!! ❤️ I'll do that for the next one
I've been watching this amimatic for ages and for some unknown reason, I haven't commented till now. I really love this amimatic and I'm pretty sure it's my favourite. You so clearly protray emotions and as someone who's currently going through whay Zoey went through, I can confirm it is 100% realistic. Both my brothers have threatened me countless times and so many other countless things and this animatic really did bring me to tears. You really did just bring so much more into the song by showing the abuse of the past. Not only did you do that, but you also managed to clearly show how the parents feel about the situation, a downfall most animatics have. Thank you for creating this, and I can't wait to see how you improve. ❤
HI GUYS MY FRIEND BIANCA MADE THIS IM SO PROUD PLS SUPPORT HER
Christine Aberion Chin pls 😂😂😂
Gosh.. This is seriously so good and moving! The details are amazing and the storytelling just heartbreaking💔
But it's so well done with such a great artstyle
Actually if you think, this song is fundamentaly like "Me inside of me" in Heathers. Just think about it. It's how everyone started s worshiping Heather after her dead and became "angel", because "she took her life". Everyone completly forgets all the harm she caused. Here Zoe is trying as hard as she can to see Connor in other light, but she just can, after all he's done.
Now im thinking of a Connor version of "Me inside of me" 💀
Your art just made this song like 11 times sadder😭😭😭 i frickin love this
"All my hope is pinned on Zoe."
Reading those words and thinking they were her brothers, right before it all. That's heartbreaking.
Zoe being told those words were from Conner, and how she's been hurt by Evan's lies.
Is what's truly heartbreaking.
I feel like this is the most accurate depiction of Zoe's feelings I've ever seen. The fandom demonizes her, when it's clear she's been hurting for years and years. I cried actual tears at the end during the photo sequence. This is beautiful.
This is the best animation I've seen. You are amazing! Keep it up.
Cheyenne Ford OMG! Thank you! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ❤️
Do you have a deviantart? I would love to see more of your work!
Cheyenne Ford really???? Omg!! No, i havent made a deviantart yet but I DO have a tumblr. Same username 😊
Cheyenne Ford really???? Omg!! No, i havent made a deviantart yet but I DO have a tumblr. Same username 😊
I'm so going to follow you! I absolutely love your work.
That last shot where the light glare is obscuring Connor’s face in the picture frame? *chef’s kiss*
You have an amazing art style!! This was a very well made animatic! Great job! For some reason I keep finding myself coming back to this video tho lol
this is literally the most emotional ive ever gotten over and animatic. something about the part where they showed connor's funeral just got to me, and i also never thought about the fact that Zoe believed what was in the note?? idk I'm an emotione mess rn
This is amazing. Your art style is phenomenal in its detail and realism and the way you presented how Zoe felt about the fact that Connor's attitude towards her juxtaposed his supposed suicide note and how he was always prioritized over her, and added in that film reel of how their relationship changed through the years was an incredible touch. My only comment is about how it seemed rather static in some parts. I feel like you could've shown more emotion in some of the character's faces, and perhaps used more/different frames at a time, or even just subtly tweak a few frames to show some change in the character's actions.
But those are just my two cents, and I greatly enjoyed this animatic overall, good job :)
Butterfly Taster Thank you so much! Agshagauaghsladh THANK YOU! I struggle with placing emotions on faces. Thanks for giving me feedback. I'll try and improve or incorporate it in the next animatic. You telling me what to improve on helps a lot and i really appreciate you saying it in a nice way. Thank you!!
Anything to help a fellow artist out :) I find that you can convey more emotion through the eyebrows, eyes, mouths and how you twist them, and definitely shadows.
"This is my first attempt at an animatic! Hope you enjoyed it!"
This is one of the B E S T I've ever seen, keep it up!
This is absolutely amazing! The way you portray the emotions with their expressions is just amazing! I absolutely LOVE your style! I can't wait to see the other things you will post on here! Keep up the amazing work!❤️❤️❤️
The picture you put in the end was amazing. The fact that you can't see Connor's face just makes you cry. It makes you understand he actually died. It's like taking the picture and just get him out of it. I liked the fact that you put Connor there... huging the mother ans so. I wouldnt have loved this song without the animation
i cried when zoe was reading the letter and it said "all my hope is pinned on zoe"
The author's style is so beautiful. Really refreshing after anime eyes and bubble heads of the majority of animatics.
Me before clicking the video: This looks great. Let's watch.
Me after: WHAT SORCERY HAS THIS HUMAN LEARNED TO CREATED SUCH AMAZING ART!?
Like... I never cried listening to the musical. Not once. But that shot of the casket just *destroyed* me and I don't know why but yay I'm crying now
This is truly beautiful, it almost made my sob all over again, and... WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CANT LIKE A VIDEO MORE THAN ONCE
I love how in the painting at the end, you can see everyone’s face clearly, but the light reflecting off the glass hides connor’s face. Truly a work of art
I just love how you captured the three different attempts of them to cope with their grief so perfect! There is Zoe whos world is falling apart because her brother who was always picking on her and being mean while never being punished for it has this (potantially) other sweet side which she can't belive really existed in the first place.
There is the mother who findes peace in those fake mails because she finally sees the son she always liked to pretend she had.
And there is the father who can't really belive it and tries to cope with his death through Evan (at least later)
I love your work!❤️❤️❤️
(Sorry for the wrong gramma i'm from austria and it's late here... )
Jallin Josephin awww thank you ❤ i love your comment ❤ and dont worry about grammar. English is not my main language either lol
...
I don’t know how to vocalise my thoughts right now. That was genuinely amazing wtf.
The art style is beautiful and the transition between each frame was, just pleasing tbh.
You can really feel their sadness through the video and how they all have a different reason for not having a requiem, it’s brilliant
Amazing job.
Wow. Great job. Adds depth to the song.
Never have I found a requiem animation better than this and this is my favorite song by them so I'm glad to have your talent working on this song. Keep it up
This speaks to me as a person who has toxic and abusive grandparents. My grandma died last year. Everyone was talking about her as if she was a good person. Now, when ever they talk about her to me and my sister they would try to make us guilty for not seeing her (we sadly live in the same house on different floors). They would say that she just "loved us so much" and "wanted to see us more". Even if it was love, taht doesn't justify what she has done to us. She. Caused. Me. Trauma. Because. Of. Her. I. Almost. Died. Once. And I may over react about the trauma, but I am pretty sure I am not. And no - I really am not blowing up that thing with the death. For serious. Thank God for my carring mom. Not just she raised us the best way possible, but didn't lie to us about our grandparents and once we started to get little bit older, even expoesing them.
All the flashes of Connor tormenting Zoe.. really drive home the song. And your expressions, wow, they're great. The detail put into this pays off!! Stunning work!!!
WHAT WHY DOES THIS HAVE 1K VIEWS ONLY!?
THIS IS BOOTIFUL!
THIS NEEDS LIKE 500K+ VIEWS IN MY OPINION .
Galaxy.Weirdo ahahaha thank you 😅
np
I love how you included a lot of details! Not only to the characters' appearances, but to the background and how the scenes are drawn so it clearly depicts what is happening while the song is being played. I hope you make more works like this.
Support me/buy me a coffee at ko-fi.com/beeyoungkah 😀

somone tell me why I did no relise one of the resons she is so hurt is becuse of the line "all my hope is pinned on zoe" she thinks she failed him im going to cry
That looks beautiful, you do GREAT JOB
You're an amazing artist, this is hands down the greatest animatic I have ever seen. You deserve way more subscribers.
Katie Michel Wow... i have no words. Words fail... 😂😂 but OMG thank you so much!!! Thank you! I dont think i'll ever be worthy of such praise! But thank you!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
beeyoungkah Odd question but, is that JD from the Heathers as your profile image?
Katie Michel YES! Yes it is!! I'm surprised someone recognized him in my style hahaha thank you for noticing 😂
beeyoungkah You are awesome do you have a Tumblr or deviant art page cause I need to follow you
Katie Michel I don't have a deviantart but I DO have a tumblr. You can find me at beeyoungkah.tumblr.com :3 that one is also still fairly new but I post occasionally
Oh my lord it is these kind of animatics where the song never makes you cry but the way the artist pieces it together and tells the story makes you BALL!
You know have 30 subscribers and I hope you get a lot more, you have true talent
infinity forever aaaAAAAHHH!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
This has got to be the most absolute and best version of requiem. It definitely captures how each one is feeling and everything in in there every little moment that they sing and everything especially with Zoe and how she's feeling and stuff. I also love the art style as well as very well done not just what the drawing of people but I also want to applaud the background as well even if it just isn't animatic or if it was a full animation either or that it would be is very awesome and well done and absolutely amazing I applaud you
wHOA WHOA I did not know it was humanly possible to be this good at drawing. Like seriously this is some black magic. No but for reals this is amazing 😁
AHAHAHAHA thank you 😂 I sacrificed goats so I can learn how to draw 😏😂😂😂
beeyoungkah I might have to try that 😂
Auroraistic dddddoooooo eeeeeetttt 😂😂 (and wowowowow you made so many animatics!!! How do you do it?? How do you make so many??)
beeyoungkah I honestly dont know. I don't have as much detail in mine ( I'm working on putting more in ) So I get it done faster? And immediately after I finish one I start working on another one sometimes. And I guess I just have too much free time 😂
Auroraistic hahaha maybe 😂😂 i do it at night after classes and projects 😂 thank the art gods i didnt get an art block when i was doing this animatic.
Oh and good luck on your animatics! I'm sure you'll do amazing!! GO YOU!!!
This is so wonderfully I made. I think you captured the emotions and point of view of each character perfectly, your art is absolutely beautiful, and I love the memories of Connor present throughout the house. I can't explain how much I love this. It's honestly one of the best animatics I've ever seen.
See this animatic perfectly portrays mourning for someone you don't believe you should mourning for. I'm going threw a situation where people want me to mourn for this person but the stuff he put me threw and then they say that he loved me more than anything . Why should I mourn for that person . Anyways this shows that everyone mourns differently
Wow. Just wow. You're amazing! You need to do more! This is absolutely beautiful, I could feel the emotions pouring out. So realistic, too! And all done digitally. Amazing.
