Chant (Reprise) - Hadestown Animatic

One time I imagined replacing brother with homie in the worker verse and died laughing I'm losing my mind

[@mimemmo1988]

THE RETURN OF THE 'khh' SOUNDS!!

[@mr.eeggbert1340]

Don't forget "hu" it's underrated

[@zoinks8868]

I hate that sound. It sounds like they're saying "keep your head look" and it ruins it for me :(

[@annabelvanpelt]

@@zoinks8868HAHAHA I WAS TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO THOUGHT THIS I THOUGHT THEY WERE SAYING “keep your head loak” and I was like what 🤨

When you're trying to pick up your wife from work but you accidently become a communist revolutionary instead.

[@kyliep.4858]

P sure hadestown would be based on, capitalism right? It’s not like the workers owned the means of production, there was very clearly a social hierarchy.

[@kyliep.4858]

They are radical, worker-driven, dare I say even socialist in their communality. “If no one takes too much, there will always be enough,” sings Orpheus, who is trying to write a melody that will fix the broken world when we meet him at the top of the show, as the ragged, beaten-down citizens of Hadestown and Persephone drink and dance through hardship. Orpheus eventually finishes his song, yes, but more importantly he organizes the workers of the underworld with it.

[@kyliep.4858]

Orpheus and Eurydice’s romance is a rallying cry against the relentless slog of work, production, and pillaging of the world’s natural resources that capitalism demands

[@QuikVidGuy]

@@kyliep.4858 yes that all is the point of the revolutionary part

[@jackcinephile7554]

Actually, The Underworld is the communist dystopia in this situation.

[@StormSage13]

You think when Hades heard Orpheus sing, he was like "Of course Apollo's kid would be the one causing all this over a woman." At least Zeus stayed out of this one

[@despinasgarden.4100]

This one make me laugh so hard XD

[@meep_cubed170]

I mean, Apollo was his ex boyfriend, not his dad

[@StormSage13]

@@meep_cubed170 In some tellings of the myth, like the one I am familiar with, Orpheus is a son of Apollo. Though plenty of Olympian myths have discrepancies depending on the storyteller, region its being told, and so on.

[@meep_cubed170]

@@StormSage13 fair enough, the mane I heard was he was the sone of the muse Calyooi and a mortal man, and he was one of a small number who serviced being loved by Apollo, which is also why later the muses saved his head after he was torn apart

[@absolutelyshmooie7086]

Tell me why we can stand with our fellow homie

[@wutyouwant6549]

Oh keep your head low

[@nathan8750]

I love how most of the first half of this reprise is Orpheus and Eurydice beginning to convince everyone to stand with them against Hades until about 2:34 where Hades just takes full control of the situation, especially with that line of "you can strum your lyre, I have strung the world in wire" with a climactic *I CONDUCT THE ELECTRIC CITY* . Chills every time I hear it

[@pinkajou656]

Hey, that’s the thumbnail!

[@XanderHarris1023]

There is a power plant in the same city as the theater I saw this in so the town’s nickname is The Electric City. Needless to say, that line got a big cheer from the audience.

[@johnmartin4119]

I do miss the Persephone lyrics though I do love the emphasis on the workers wanting to be free. If only they could do both

[@Zeth444]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWXHoGyaj5dgY5Y&start_radio=1 this version does both

[@TheLangenator]

I also loved the "He said he'd shelter us. He said he'd harbor me." sections from the original. They felt like a more solid tie-in to what Eurydice was begging for in Chant 1. Overall I like the new musical better, but there's one or two little moments I wish had stayed

[@finleyforevermore]

In the Broadway previews, they DO do both! Hades verse comes BEFORE the worker's part, then after the workers finish Persephone gets a verse, then Eurydice more or less repeats Orpheus' verse. From that point onwards it's the same as the current version.

[@wolfgold6305]

*sniff sniff* You know what I smell? UNDERRATED ARTIST.

[@coconutthecockatiel478]

Rewatching and I just noticed how you added Orpheus flinching when Hades says, “Sing!” at 3:51. Such a nice little detail and adds even more to the feel of it.

[@kingsaracoon9594]

When the teacher mentions an error in the test and makes that number a bonus point: Students: *_IS IT TRUE?_*

[@Jam669]

Hades: *taunts Orpheus about his morals and everything he stands for about to literally kill him* sing for me boy Orpheus: you activated my trap card (Dude if you do epic 3 I will cry keep up the great work)

[@razberrymist9475]

It's just beautiful that he beats the bad guy with empathy

[@pinkajou656]

Orpheus uses “la lalala la la la”. It’s super effective!

[@lalalei2001]

I got into Hadestown literally yesterday and quickly became enraptured, bought the CDs, and searched for animatics. Of the ones I've seen so far yours are my favorites, and I'm so happy this one was posted recently! Keep up the awesome, amazing work!

[@dearpax6020]

OH MY GOD !! everything about this. orpheus and hades first confrontation where hades used his powers to do the things he was singing ?? GENIUS and the lightning flashes later on??? INCREDIBLE the way u draw hands ?? HELL YEAH fantastic work !!!!!!

[@CrystalDragen]

I love the imagery!!! Especially The Small flash of lightning during his snap!!! :D

[@Woodlander256]

Yooo I just got here But this is already poggers

[@AmandaWojahn]

I love how you timed the rhythm of the beginning of the music to hades coming down the steps. Road to hell, both chants and both wait for me are my favorite songs

[@Yesnomu]

I love the look you have for the characters, especially the workers--you really captured how indistinct their faces were. Thanks for making this animatic!

[@sealbatross]

YO IM SCREAMING THIS IS SO PERFECT!N! aaAAAAAAAAAAA OK. I love the way you use tweening to snap between movements and also the constant camera shifting really adds to the dynamics of the scene. And also. HADES HAS MAGIC POWERS I love the way you interpreted the lyrics with the fight, absolutely brilliant. And the little bits of lighting, those look very good. And also the last part, where hadess mood snaps from sly to just plain mad. FEEL IT. agh. Also creds to the hand movements and the dynamic shots! Everything is just 👌👌👌👌👌

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG FROM THE SHOW THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS... okay.. the dynamics? The way the camera goes to so many different angles in the matter of seconds? OMG. How Hades seems so friggin happy and bitter at the same time- he almost looks crazed in a sort of way and ORPHEUS LOOK SO SCARED OMG THIS IS AMAZING

[@lucystaples6908]

You are literally my favorite artist. You're so funny and your poses are so natural, I was so excited when I saw you had a new video! Hadestown and Great Comet are like my favorite musicals ever, so keep up the seriously amazing work. Love ya!

[@qookhr]

Thank you!!

[@klausoshaunacey8429]

I love how Hades sings about how he has lain down power cords and power lines, trapping electricity underground and conducting it as a part of his city. Hades captured Zeus’ domain of lightning in his wires and trapped it underground. No wonder he seems to be top god in this setting, he stole the spot from his brother

[@juliannacontreras]

HADES´ EXPRESIONS AAAAAA YOU ARE AMAZING QOOKH

[@cryptid4131]

This animatic was the one push that finally caused me to get into Hadestown and all I can say is THANK YOU 😭😭

[@artimationhub3732]

I go back to this musical and EVERY TIME. EVERY TIME I’M BLOWN THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY. And I can still hear it. It's so powerful 😵‍💫

[@supernova4199]

AH YOUVE MADE MY DREAM COME TRUE SOMEONE FINALLY DID AN ANIMATIC OF THIS SONG

[@lalalei2001]

It's been 4 days and I can't stop watching this. I love all the songs of Hadestown, but because of this animatic specifically Chant Reprise is my favorite, and even more specifically the parts when Hades comes in and uses his magic on Orpheus and then at the end when he regains control of the situation.

[@contentdeleted5405]

God, why are the reprised songs in musicals always the best of the soundtrack for the entire play.

[@realdaggerman105]

Because they’re built on established emotion and development the original did, while also often being during the rising action or climax of the story!

[@tiffany02020]

I love the wind details!!! That’s so friggin clever! I got chills when I saw this one, it’s such an underrated song in the musical. I love love love that build at the end where the bass kicks in with the chant as Hades postures. So good. These are great. Thanks for sharing!!

[@ceceezz]

My goodness I adore this musical and all the animatics

[@mirimeerkat2087]

Hades: “Sing for an old man!” Orpheus: “I ama singing at the party…”

Awesome! I was literally looking yesterday to see if anyone had made an animatic for this song, and now I saw this in my feed lol. Really good job tho, probably my favorite song from the musical

[@lalalei2001]

2 weeks later and this is on neverending loop in my mind's eye to the point that listening to just the music feels weird, and I can't watch bootlegs without imagining this happening onstage.

[@kikio0529]

Dude gal...pal. whatever. This is great! I love the use of perspective, movement, emotion, and consistent. That is NOT easy to do. I really appreciate the time and care you to put into this. I can tell you have an art back ground in this too. I re watched it again also enjoyed the story telling. One artist to another, I think tweaking proportions may help. Good rule of thumb is head length- head can be any size but unless it's perspective the body should equal five to six of them. Hands and feet are the length of a face. Shoulders and hips are two head lengths. You draw hands pretty well but if they were more proportions I think it would have added that extra strength and command to the characters. Please don't think badly of yourself or me! I still love it!!! I really do! I've spent years with life and figure drawing so that's more my expertise but it'll be a hot minute before I can do that perspective.

[@elicaelum8379]

This is amazing!!! It's so dynamic and the emotions are so clear!! Truly well done!!!

[@adumbbuglovingloser3198]

Trying to remember the way they acted during this song when I went to see it but i was crying too hard (silently, im not the jerk that makes noise during a show that cost 500 dollars to get ONE seat for in a FAR AWAY ROW) to keep it in my mind That day was so overwhelming but its definitely a day that made me happy

[@adumbbuglovingloser3198]

List of yes i liked it more with the crew i saw at the benedum Perse and Eurydice were even MORE of girlbosses in the one i saw, loved the alto leads Hades looked like my dad for a moment when i first saw him but thats because my eyesight sucks Orpheus was a major dork, plus dark skinned which i feel fits better The singing with the crew i saw was honestly better than the original crew Whole time i felt myself vanish into the world when i wasnt distracted by me crying or by something else, and when i WAS distracted i was just imagining how heavenly it would be to be on that stage
