how has it been a year already since my first epic animatic? this one's a little rough but i hope its enjoyable either way ^^ my head's empty cause i actually have COVID TT (so it forced me stay in and finally finish this) few notes below:
- sorry my odysseus is all over the place i started drawing this without an aged character design in mind LMAO
- 2:02 - 2:17 how i drew this sequence, it was kinda call-back to my first short animatic for "Just a Man" so if it feels familiar that may be why!
- uh thats it for now if i remember anything else ill edit lol
ty for checking it out ^^

I love the way Odysseus had to actively engage with Polyphemus and Circe but when it was Poseidon all Poseidon needed was proof that Odysseus was now at a point where he was *willing* to stand and fight rather than run away And the way Poseidon almost seemed bothered by the fact that Odysseus didn't run was really interesting too, like at least for that moment Poseidon was like "This isn't fun anymore i'll come back when you've gone through some stuff", its a really interesting characterization!

@Tioko 26 күн бұрын

To be fair, this is all in Odysseus’s head. I don’t think the actual Poseidon would care.

@carpedm9846 26 күн бұрын

Also I think it shows a "fixed" version of his blunder with poseidon. After poseidon spends the whole song berating him for being too naive and kind, his apology is "sorry we shouldve been nicer we didnt mean to hurt him", essentially refuting the central theme of his song, then he calls him naive and kills his crew. And here, he goes "yeah I shouldve gutted him so he couldnt rat me out." To which poseidon presumably goes "ah shit I GUESS you learned your lesson and I dont have an excuse anymore..."

i really love this interpretation of that moment! tbh i was very back and forth about how Poseidon should react to Odysseus pointing his sword back at him. For my initial brain-storming sequence of Polyphemus, Circe, and Poseidon, I wrote in my notes: “as [Ody] is going through the multiple scenarios in his head, show the person and odysseus matching and following [each person’s] motions as if a reflection/mirror. this is meant to serve as a parallel with all the people he has met (their actions versus his actions)” By Odysseus pointing his sword at Poseidon, it shows he still defies him, not completely respects him, which contradicts the lyric, “Or does he keep us in check so we must respect him And now no one dares to piss him off?” Poseidon reacted with a mix of surprise + “acceptance” - surprised that Odysseus is still unafraid of him, and acknowledging that Odysseus is changing his ways (sorry long ramble but i was curious what ppl would think about the poseidon bit and i saw ur comment about it first!)

@m0thernature730 25 күн бұрын

To me it’s like “I see now” i understand what I did wrong I didn’t finish the job, I’ll be sure to correct the mistake next time we meet” like I’m not scared anymore. As in ruthlessness he sings “what have you done?” In such a shocked and dismayed tone like he couldn’t believe someone could be so heartless… but now he looks at the god and he understands… he understands the only way monsters can understand. Teeth bared and ready to fight. And so Poseidon looks at him and says “till next we meet.” That’s my interpretation an understanding that next time they meet it won’t just be a “lesson” Odysseus will either die or Poseidon will see the monster in Odysseus and let him live.

@kertagin1 8 күн бұрын

@@m0thernature730 the Greek gods were not so nice as to just kill you. if your dumb enough to defy them they make it a point to make you wish you were dead. the Odyssey happened because Odysseus accidently offended one of the gods (Poseidon If I remember right), as such they made what was supposed to be a month or two voyage into the extended hell march. if it was Poseidon maiming his son was just the extra icing on the cake for him to make the ordeal drag out longer. only zeuses eventual intervention allowed Odysseus to eventually get home.

nahh, I think this might be my favorite animatic yet.. I love the sequence of when he is analysing his past foes, absolutely gruesome the part where he is killing his past self(and his past self protecting the infant OMGGGG) like soo goodd. makes so much sense as well cuz he is no longer the odysseus we know. and the ending of him going slightly insane is such a nice touch ohhh and also the part where he says "i'll become the monster..." with no emotion in his eyes. perfect, absolutely perfect. thank you for this animatic!!

@amefuyuu4983 26 күн бұрын

Oh my god Rochi this is amazing!!!! I love how fluid the transitions were from Polyphemus to Circe to Poseidon and then to Odysseus about to kill Astyanax. The scene of Odysseus killing his younger self is so brilliant and then current Odysseus dropping th baby before returning to reality was SO good!! My favorite part has to be his crazed expression right after that part when he is directing his anger at Tiresias! To top it all off the ending animation was stunning, and Odysseus’s facial expression was haunting. Amazing work!!! (Also feel better!!!) 💕💕💕

@amvweakly4820 15 күн бұрын

Eyes are the window to the soul. It was awesome showing how his eyes became void at the end after he blinked, extinguishing what was left of his humanity as he genuinely became the monster, in mind and spirit.

@xxchesire_catxx8176 13 күн бұрын

God, watching this was LITERALLY breathtaking. It was legit hard to breathe watching this. The intensity baked into every movement, the cinematography/camera movements themselves, the way we move from scene to scene. None of it feels out of place and all of it is devastating. I especially love the detail of Odysseus threatening Poseidon with his sword, only for Poseidon to drop his threatening stance. He’s learned his lesson. That and the sequence of Odysseus singing the chorus to Tiresias. Other people typically portray him as speaking to the void, of that final chorus being his moment of decision and conviction, but in this he already made his choice when he began to attack his younger self. Him talking to Tiresias has both the emotions of determination as well as the less seen ones of him fucking BREAKING DOWN. Never have I felt so… sad, watching an Odysseus commit to being the monster before. It’s brilliantly done.

3:00 whenever I listen to this song I ALWAYS do a move similar to this one. It really captures that craziness that he gets here, almost as if he's enjoying it. But then he falls down, and you see that deep regret in his eyes. Like 'what am I doing...." He doesn't want to become this but he knows theres no other choice. The way Tiresias stares back down at him is so chilling as well. Almost as if he's saying 'I told you so' but in a darker way. Also the ending? PERFECT. It’s the exact emotion I imagine. He looks like he’s completely lost himself, blinded by one thought. Ruthlessness. He truly has become the monster and you’ve visualized this piece beautifully. Well done my friend, well done!👏👏👏

@Efulums 24 күн бұрын

Oof, I really love the interpretation of Odysseus killing his past self, and the way he does it, too-his expression as he does so. Almost as if he's saying to his past merciful self that it's *your* fault we're not yet home, that I'm still not able to see Penelope and Telemachus; if you had just been less soft, if you had just been more ruthless from the start, this could all be over. It's *your* fault, and you're in my way. It's a slightly different take than I've seen other people do, which is this ruthlessness is within him but is something he has to accept (as if it's not the main aspect of him but just another part), but this almost suggests that it was always Odysseus' base nature, and other parts of him layered on top of that foundation stopped him from being that-and he needs to strip those layers of humanity away. Absolutely wonderful animatic. Your art and work are amazing, and I am in awe. I love this so much! 🤩💜

The symbolism and how Odysseus plays in his head what he should have done in each situation is PERFECTION. In my interpretation, Odysseus is basically blaming that part of him that felt remorse killing the infant because it seemed to unlock more guilt in him that drove a lot of his mindset along of mercy along with Polites.
