Dear Evan Hansen: Waving Through a Window storyboard/animatic

CW: Suicide
For my final storyboarding project at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design we were given the freedom to do whatever we want. I opted to take the song Waving Through a Window from the Dear Evan Hansen musical and create a storyboard/animatic centered around my character, Mason Berger.

How do you have this little subs

[@safire2971]

subscribed honestly you are underated at a criminal level

[@jordanp.davidson5977]

Okay first this is my favorite song from Dear Evan Hansen (minus the suicide bit)next to You Will Be Found and Good For You. Second What form of suicide was being portrayed in the video? Was he trying lock himself in the car and suffocate till death? Or something else? Finally: “Amazing work on everything especially the art!

[@emptybottles6341]

I think it was either Alcohol abuse or over dosing from the frame where he is seen texting her there was bottle. Although I could be wrong. And i think he went to the car so no one would find him....?

[@spoopysamuel9811]

Ugh I love all of those songs too. You Will Be Found is easily up on the top of the list for me as well! Oh yeah. Carbon monoxide poisoning, since it's an older model car. It's not shown super clearly, it's something I got feedback on in critiques that I'd like to go back and edit in so it's more obvious later. Like building fumes inside of the car and such would be a good way to do it. Thank you!

[@piperbrooke2957]

ok how THE FUCK is this so CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED the clean linework the smooth animation the detailed backgrounds the on-point anatomy everything?? i dont understand how its physically possible for you to have less than a hundred subs my dude

[@naan000]

This is the most realistic art style ever holy shit

[@kokichioma7247]

You’re trying to make me cry...

[@raetail]

This animation is really well done! I love the clean feel, and I liked the pose language at the climax of the song. The detail is really nice, I appreciate that you took the time to make such complex backgrounds, most notably Mason's room. They feel very real. I can definitely say that this animatic moved me. Some criteria that I have is that I sometimes have trouble feeling moments of impact. Like when Aria is hitting the car window with her fist, I feel like there could have been more force behind that action. Also, I had a little bit of trouble understanding some parts of the story, like when Mason gets back home, and the man on the chair pulls his arm. I'm a little confused what caused that transgression. Overall, I really like this animatic! It has a professional, and yet also personal feel to it, and I am glad I got to see it! Thank you for posting and animating, I hope that you keep on going.
