"Goodbye, Jasper" from the musical Jasper in Deadland by Ryan Scott Oliver, an obscure off-Broadway show that can best be described as a mash-up of Dante's Inferno and Orpheus in the Underworld with a little bit of Alice in Wonderland thrown in! I've also heard it described as, "Hadestown... but with the happy ending!"
Honestly, this opening song is pretty self-explanatory as to what the plot is!
Truthfully, I had planned out this whole animatic with the idea that I would use After Effects to make the Heaven, Limbo and Hell background scroll upwards in real time as Jasper plummets downwards while the "Agnes Angels" would glide around him but between this and my last animatic, I upgraded to an entirely new computer and After Effects could not cope with the change so I had to alter everything into a series of rough still frames. Soooo... this isn't as smooth as I would have liked but it will do!
Looks like I'll be using OpenShot to edit videos from now on!

I saw this show premier and watched the development process a bit. It was frustrating, seeing all these great moments trying to happen in a musical that just wasn't quite there. You really captured the impact that this song needs to have; if only they could do something like that on stage.

Thanks very much! Yeah, that's the positive thing about animatics in that they don't have to worry about the same budget and physical limitations that stage productions have!

Wish we had a full proshot of the production, I love this musical sm :(

Yeah, a pro-shot would've been very welcome amongst the musical fan community! I know many people (myself included) only discovered this musical many years after it had ended and so have only been able to find a few short video clips and screenshots to give us an idea as to what it even looked like on a stage!

Thank you very much! I would like to eventually tackle another song from Jasper in Deadland sometime in the future but at this moment in time, I'm concentrating on the Beetlejuice musical for now!

Ey, looks like about 50 people still remember this show! For those who don’t know btw, they posted a livestream production of the show earlier this year. It isn’t great, but it’s something. Anyway, thanks for this. Nice to see someone else shilling for this underrated musical

Haha, thanks! Yeah, I knew this was going to be a VERY slow-burn in terms of view count as too many people would see the title and go, "Never heard of it" and move on! I'm just happy that more than five people actually knew what this was and enjoyed it! Cheers!
