    It's insane how in a 3 mintue animation you can show the contrast from the carefree and hopeful, young Odysseus and then his older self already being more stiff and thoughtful. And I love how you showed how Athena changed too, even her being a goddess she seemed "happier" with young Odysseus., and almsot more friendly. I love your art and your portral of these characters!!

      Yes! And this translates perfectly into My Goodbye when Odysseus says how she's alone. She loved Odysseus when he was younger like a friend and they looked very close but of course her being a god they're relationship is different, when Odysseus says she's alone later it hits so much harder because how they were here

      What I adore about it is that you still see glimmers of that friendship when they're older in this animatic.
      Athena's expression at Odysseus when she talks about the magical boar "only the best could kill" feels very subtly like "I wonder who I could be referring to, eh Odysseus?"
      And his smile back at her feels like "Yeah, I was pretty good back then."
      The friendship is still there, it's mired under so much grief, anger, hopelessness and disappointment.

Like Athena said, he's changing from how she designed him so it was fun to see her become that reflection to take him into the mind state. I like how you replicated ancient Greek art. Again with Athena towering over him, its to remind us shes a goddess thus larger than life. Amazing

    The lyrics to this implies that Athena sees Odysseus as less of a 'student' and more as her own property. Like, seriously, just listen to the opening, "I see you changing from how I *designed* you." "Have you forgotten your *purpose,* let me remind you." And honestly, that's a little bit terrifying...

    • @tylermech66
      @tylermech66 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +597

      It's also completely fair, because Greek gods aren't simply people whom are immensely powerful, but the very forces of nature given personalities. what Athena says is, when one considers what she truly is, not at all derogatory. In fact, being "designed" by the goddess of wisdom, why who would see that as anything but something to be proud of?

      It could also implie that Athena doesn’t open up well to people especially when you hear in the song Goodbye it hurt when Odysseus called her out on being alone. I get the impression this Athena is all about business and she probably wasn’t ready to bound with Odysseus like that especially if she is not sure if he would last seeing is how her teachings would be very strict and he expectations would be high. But so far from what I’ve seen with this musical she was warming up to him and after there fight she’s still is going out of her way to help Odysseus by convincing the gods to release him. Even got mad and a little unhinged when Ares said that Odysseus was weak as his son and defends him and tells Ares to hold his tongue and that she considers his son her friend.

    One very subtle detail I adore is the glance Athena and Odysseus share at "A magical boar only the best could kill". I love how Athena glances at Odysseus and gives him a look of like
    "Wow, I wonder who I could be referring to when I say 'the best'."
    And Odysseus gives her a slight smile back, sort of like
    "Yeah, I was pretty good back then."
    It's wonderful because its a subtle moment of teasing between two old friends, Athena trying to help build Odysseus back up by reminding him of his old glory, and finally it cements the overall theme of this song, the wonder and hope of Odysseus' early life under Athena's mentorship that's absent now.

    This might be my favorite depiction of Athena I’ve seen. The simpler and more cartoon like art style definitely helps, but her being extremely tall and slender, inhumanly so, shows she’s not a human but a god. Her face very clearly modeled off an Owl, and having an elegance to mirror not only her being a god but she’s the more formal and strategic side of war.
    Also, when she takes off her hood and her helmet is underneath, it wouldn’t work at all like that, but she’s a god, so it doesn’t matter. Looks sick.

    he immediately latched onto a way to change the subject of the convo from him to athena (rising to her challenge by saying her name then talking about her rep), and i imagine the theatrics with his lil stick also helped to distract her, evident by the fact that she then changes the topic to mentoring him

      This!! Esp with the mirrored poses both being claustrophobic in a different way. In this vid, it's due to the framing, with Athena's pose being juuuuust cropped out causing it to feel like she's whispering the command in his ear. The very epitome of "gentle reminder(threat).
      In "my goodbye", Athena's full body (upper torso, semantics) is hunching over Odysseus, a direct action to convey her condescension and disappointment towards his actions.
      I personally see the differences in each pose as being reflective of Odysseus' view of Athena. More specifically, where the first pose is cropped, he's still in his "Athena is a friend". My Goodbye's mirrored pose is when Odysseus is disillusioned to their relationship and is fully seeing that Athena, a God, will never show him the empathy a friend would give his grief (and subsequent rash behavior).

    Knowing basically nothing about Epic, there's something I noticed after listening to this song a few times.
    At first, Athena things the 'warrior of the mind' line on a single pitch. When Odysseus joins in, he turns it into a run while she keeps it simple. Then, Athena actually copies *him* and makes it a run to match him as they sing it together. And the last time in the song, she continues the same way, even when she isn't matching him anymore.
    I don't know, it was just striking to me. Since she's the emotionless god, it felt like a subtle way of showing that she was learning more emotion from Odysseus.

      She doesnt immediately adopt his way of singing, but she adopts it the second time that they sing it in unison, once theyve had time to grow closer
      in My Goodbye she tries to save face by acting like her only role in their interactions was that of a teacher, and that he was nothing more than a student even if he wanted to be friends, yet she actively demonstrates *against* that by continuing to use his tune of "mind" far outside of harmonising with him :D

      Yeah, thats cause athena is not emotionless without reason, she got her own myths before odyseus. He is another hero to help, another burden. Yes, the gods play with them as toys. But you would cry if your favourite toy broke, would you not?

    My favorite things about this video:
    1. The "Don't disappoint me" scene being a reflection of the one scene in My Goodbye video.
    2. Odysseus's faces at 1:08 and 1:56. They make me laugh so much.
    3. The water scene when Odysseus gets seemingly dragged in by his own reflection.
    4. Young Odysseus. Look at him. He's a little baby man. I love it.

    May have already commented and forgotten but holy crap this is amazing! You have their personalities down to the detail, between cocky teenage odysseus to nervous adult odysseus, all the way to threatening athena to amused athena. not to mention the way you animated the wall paintings is amazing

    I like how your version of young Odysseus is more playfully and is full of that child like engery. It gives us a little glimpse of his childhood and he is like as a young boy. Instead of just him being a bit cocky that I usually see a lot. He even give himself a high five when Athena refuse to do so XD amazing work as ever!

    Also, I love the tapestry(?) of Athena's past (at least that's what I assume it's showing, that particular part being about Odysseus)

    Whats really awesome about your art here is how unhuman i feel Athena looks despite being human shaped. Her eyes being empty/full is a part of that but how you drew her and the movement make her seem so different. Your whole video great showcase of skill because i homestly feel like im watching a full 24/30 frame animation. The art is drawn in such a way that the movement are expressed and my imagination fill in whats left

    Holy CRAP! I had to pause this and rewatch to catalog all of the things that are incredible! I don’t know how to articulate this, but I’ll try: your vision (or perspective? Style?) is incredible! I love the way you don’t just animate a scene that we’re looking at from a fixed distance. We are IN it! And flying and zooming around and then we’re in the painting and then the painting is on a wall and we’re in front of it and dear GOD the foreshortening (I think is the term?) on that wall when we’re right next to it is INCREDIBLE!! And the way we fell through the water at the beginning into another dimension and then the mural came to life as a memory! Just wow. Also HOW do you manage to make Athena’s face so expressive when she has no pupils and literally two lines for a mouth?!? I think your work is my favorite Epic animatic I’ve seen. Ever. Like if Epic becomes a movie, I HOPE they contact you and build the sequence for this song around what you’ve designed. It’s THAT good. WELL DONE!!!!
