"There Are Other Ways" FULL ANIMATIC || EPIC the Musical: Circe Saga
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2024
- A while back, I finished an incomplete version of "There Are Other Ways", which also happened to be the very first animatic I've ever made for Epic the Musical, my current musical obsession. I promised viewers that if it reaches 50k views that I would complete it. It has since blown past that so here I am, completing the entire animatic. I hope you guys enjoy!
------ SPOILER ZONE ----
SPOILERS ABOUT THE LAMB/SHEEP
- Since so many asked, I felt I should explain. The next song after this is UNDERWORLD, of which I am creating an animatic for. The lamb makes a brief appearance in the first few seconds of my Underworld animatic, but as -- TRIGGER WARNING -- an animal sacrifice. That's because in the actual myth, Circe instructed Odysseus to perform a ritual to get access to the Underworld, one of which needed blood of a lamb/sheep. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the lamb does not make it out alive.
SPOILERS ABOUT THE BIRD/DUCK/SWAN/FOWL/GOOSE
- To clarify, those are geese. I chose them to remind Odysseus of his wife Penelope since she kept geese as pets. I also chose a Greylag Goose, where females are gray and males are white. Check again and you'll see those geese represent Penelope, Telemachus and Odysseus. They're apart but slowly reuniting.
SPOILERS ABOUT THE MERMAN AND SCYLLA
- That was a vision of Circe's past unrequited love, the merman/fishman Glaucus, who fell in love with the nymph Scylla. Circe was so jealous that she turned Scylla into the sea monster she is known today.

Odysseus: “and now the god of tides is out to end my life😰”
Circe: 🗿
Circe: Damn, that's crazy.
Circe: Holy shit- im sorry man.
I love how when he starts talking about his wife there are three swans, one of them trying to reach the other, as if symbolizing Odysseus's own problem
Glad you caught that bit of symbolism there! Although, I know it's probably my fault, but those are geese 😊That's cause Penelope kept geese as pets. So it's also an added reminder to Odysseus of his wife at home.
THE SHEEP! WHY DID YOU BREAK THE FOURTH WALL WITH THE SHEEP?! IT WAS STARING INTO MY SOUL! 😂😂😂 but in all seriousness, this is amazing! I love it!
i dont understand the reference with the sheep ? can you explain ?
@@Gab-ptpat the very end of the song there is just a sheep and his stare is intense
See the video description for explanation about the sheep 👉👈😜
Thank you! I had to do a bit of a foreshadowing for the next animatic. That sheep ain't making it out alive I'm afraid.
@@ns2dstudiosthat’s actually a really nice detail
I love your inclusion of Glaucus as Circe’s lost love. I always figured that was whom she was referring to with that line and you even included Scylla as well, great job!👍🏻
Yes! Thank you! Happy you noticed the Glaucus reference! 😁😁😁
@@ns2dstudios he’s the only green myth figure who Circe was said to truly love and not just keep as a lover like Odysseus
(3:26) Oh, it's that guy who fell in love with a sea nymph. He asked Circe to make him into a merman like his love; however, she fell in love with him.
Wait that’s so sad 😢
isnt the sea nymph in question scylla?
@@GalaxyOfEnder yes im pretty sure thats why theres a shadowod her there

I mean, the seas between troy and a random island in the agean sea is farther than we first assumed. Maybe he crossed the entire meditterranean sea.
@@ChupacabraRex The journey in the Odyssey took 10 years. The creator of Epic has made a TikTok making fun of himself writing 12 instead of 10.
@@Seaweedscout No, the Trojan War lasted ten years and this is at the beginning of his journey home(10 years at war, ten years of travel). This is likely still in the first year since he left so under eleven years.
Circe: Ima bring u to the underworld
Odysseus: 😱
a swan with a baby and another swan moving towards them... I think I see parallels everywhere
It's such a pretty animatic! Circe had Ody shook the entire second half 😂
Thank you Cyber! Heheh Ody be shooketh
I’ve been waiting for months on this, this is by far the best animatic of “There are other ways”
Thank you so much for all your support Amyray! I really appreciate it!
“I have been in love once before”
Oh yeah you ate that 😊that drawing
Thank you 🥰🥰🥰
The sheep at the end like: I have a bad feeling about this... 🩸🪓
That sheep ain't making it past the Underworld animatic 💀
OMG! The tears in his eyes when he talked about Penelope, I could feel his pain! This animatic was so great, thank you so much for your work! 😢❤❤
YESSSS so happy you noticed that Ody was teary eyed when he talked about Penelope! 🥰🥰🥰
Alright! This is one of the best animatics for “there are other ways” that I’ve seen. Cerci’s seduction, Odysseys’ longing, it’s all so perfectly done!
You're too kind, thank you so much!
Your Circe design seems like she’s the oldest (oldest as in she’s the oldest physically) of the three ones that I’ve really seen. Gigi’s feels like she’s in her early twenties, Anni’s I’m her thirties, and yours is in her forties
I'm not sure how to feel about that..
@@ns2dstudios don’t think about it too much. In the end It’s just natural animator design differences. /lh
@@ns2dstudios I guess I’m sorry?
I love how Circe and Odysseus interact. And the reference to Glaucus and Scylla was cool. Great job!
YAAAAAAAAASSSS!
I've been waiting for this Animatic!
Thank you SO MUCH for making this!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
Penelope is so beautiful❤❤❤❤
Amazing job! I love it❤
Now i see why odysseus misses her so much
I really liked the video, but I have a question... Who or what does the sheep at the end represent?
It's a tie in to the next animatic I'm making, which is Underworld. According to the myths, Circe instructed Odysseus to do some ritual to get to the Underworld, including TRIGGER WARNING - animal sacrifice, specifically a lamb.
@@ns2dstudios I thought it was Elpenor
Loved this animatic! Holy GOD your Circe is gorgeous
🥰🥰🥰 awww thank you!!!
So cool to see this full thing now!
Happy you think so! Thanks for watching!
YESSS, I absolutely adore this it's not every day that you get a full There are Other ways of perssusasion. It's quality is top-notch, it's ridiculously animated as usual, the designs are amazing, (even if I feel the Pigs are staring into my soul) and I just love it.I feel like both the designs and the choreography is absolutely amazing. I also love his face at 2:52 where he's like "wtf" when she says he'll go to the underworld in a very sus manner.
Love the animation and the reference but I think my favorite choice is your characters moving like an old Snes game characters would. Great work 10/10
I loooooooooooove this!!! Cannot wait for your thunder saga animatics!
Fantastic job! I love how you incorporate the myth into your animatic - very clever! 💖
Absolute ART!! My goodness. All the little references to the oddessy are absolutely scrumptious
Thank you! I tried to add as much Odyssey influences as I can plus a few symbolisms here and there.
@@ns2dstudios it’s AMAZING!! I watch ALL of your animatics and I watch it every time you post one because of this attention to detail 😊😊
Absolutely amazing!!! So happy to see it all put together. So glad you got so much attention on it, so well deserved.
Thanks so much!! I tried to do the best job I can. Thank you so much for watching!
This was so good! I'm glad you finished the song, it's so worth the wait!
Thank you so much and thank you for waiting for it to be finished 🥰
That was, once again, a masterpiece
going by the description, ody is really on a roll for killing sheep. if i had a nickel for every time...
This Animatic is amazing!!!
Oh so darn GOOD!!!!!!! I can't get enough of your artwork. SO AMAZING!!!!!!!
Thank you so much 😀 More to come soon!
Omg it really brings me tears of joy to see how much you have grown in your animations! I started watching your reylo videos and now all the epic, I have become a big fun of this musical! Keep your awesome work 👏🩷✨️
Aaaah thank you so much! I'm always happy to see people from a previous fandom still continue to support what I do. Happy you're onboard with EPIC as well!!!
@ns2dstudios You are one of my favorite animation channels that have inspired me ! I hope your work gets more recognition ✨️
This was great! I love your art style and designs for these characters. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! I appreciate it!
Nice nod to the story of Circe transforming Scylla cuz her crush was in love with her!😅❤
P.S. Lamb at the end before getting sacrificed: "Hehe, I'm in danger."😑
YESS I LOVE YOUR STYLE SO MUCH 🫶🫶🫶
Thank you so much :D

I love this animation so much!

1:34 You can hear the Penelope motif. Even when being seduced by a goddess, Odysseus can't stop thinking about his wife.
ATE GWENDY BACK AT IT AGAIN WITH A NEW ANIMATIC
Heheheh luma na, just finally able to complete it after 84 years LOL
I love this so much!
Thank you so much!
OH MY GOD YOU MENTIONED GLAUCUS AND SCYLLA
YES! Thanks for noticing!!!
Hey Gwendy are you planning to do Ruthlessness sometime? Because I love the colors that you use for the animation. I'm just about how would your Poseidon would look
So amazing Gwendy
Thank you so much 🥰
@@ns2dstudios no problem 👍
Yay! I’ve been waiting for this since the first half was released, you did amazing! Am I missing something with the sheep tho?
thank you so much! Explanation for the sheep is in the video description 😁🐑🩸
@@ns2dstudios ohhh okay, rip him
Amazing work! Is that sheep Elpeneor?
No hehehe the explanation for the sheep is in the video description 😊
You should make more Epic the Musical with your animatic
I started making them just March of this year :) So far, I've completed 6 Epic animatics plus a few more that are currently works in progress
@ns2dstudios don't forget to do it in order and it will help don't forget to mark a song you already done with a check
@@gabrielkamenrider1205 I go by what song touches me :) I don't plan on doing animatics for all of the songs.
@@ns2dstudios okay 👍
So awesome to see the final half complete. All beautifully done. And teasing the image of the prophet. So cool. Though I'm almost scared by the angry sheep. Is there a story there?
Yes, I updated the video description to include an explanation about the lamb/sheep 🐑 🩸🔪
Hermes's onion approves!
Gyaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
The old man of the sea Nereus in an epic animatic?
oh yeah :D
That wasn’t Nereus that was Glaucus, the half fish god of fishermen.
Hmm the lamb at the end is that a reference to something?
😅😉Yes, I updated the video description to include an explanation about the lamb/sheep 🐑 🩸🔪😔
Glaucus and Scylla!!!
THE POOR SHEEP AHHHH
GWENDY THE POOR LAMB IS DEAD NOOO
Also the reference with her love( Poor Scylla )..
That lamb ain't making it past the Underworld hahaha huhuhu
@@ns2dstudios HOW DARE YOU THE LAMB WHYYY
She’s so pretty
Glad you think so ;)
I VOLUNTEER CIRCE I VOLUNTEER 🙋♀🙋♀🙋♀
Does the lamb mean anything in particular?
😅😉Yes, I updated the video description to include an explanation about the lamb/sheep 🐑 🩸🔪😔
What's with the lamb at the end?
Pls see video description for sheep explanation 😁
What's with the sheep?
See the video description for the explanation 😁
This is amazing! But seriously though anyone else wondering what is up with that sheep?
Check the video description 😉 it's explained there
@@ns2dstudios Thank you, that poor lamb...
3:26 Wait, was that merman the one who simped for Scylla?
That is correct 😊That's Glaucus
What's with the sheep 😅
Never mind, I read the video description.
I love this but for some reason Odysseus, to me, looks kinda…not Mediterranean? Which is such BS because who thinks like that 💀 what I mean is I look at him and think “he reminds me of a Nord from Skyrim” not “he’s a Greek guy from the Mediterranean” I wish I could say what about him makes me think of the Nords but I honestly can’t tell you
BUT WHAT DOES THE SHEEP MEAN??
it's in the video description 🥰🩸🐑💀
