[@TheChaoticAsexual]

This is kinda awkward, but because of your animatic, I checked out the whole musical. This has honestly changed my life. I was struggling with driving myself because trauma from others, and this musical and your work gave me the courage and ability to move on from it and even to start *enjoying* driving. Thank you so much for your incredible work and for changing my life!

[@MirandaPla]

Dude, thank you for your kind words and congratulations on driving!! That's absolutely incredible.

Thank you for releasing this. I recently took a class for storyboarding and learned that I had a passion for it. Seeing your process of creating this beautiful board is really helpful and inspiring to me, as I continue to learn and develop my own style of boarding.

[@MirandaPla]

Yes yes YES! I'm so glad you found your passion!! Good luck to all your future projects -- youre gonna kill it!

[@bamburbranch2550]

I love how some of the rough frames just have so much emotion in some of the gestures where you don’t even need to see the details to know the emotions behind them. It’s so good ;~;

[@sighthoundstars]

I WAS JUST WATCHING YOUR VIDEO AND YOU UPLOADED THIS

[@MirandaPla]

IT WAS DESTINY

[@jaredinocovers9968]

I’m very late to the party here but this animatic had me sobbing. Thank you for introducing me to what is becoming one of my favorite musicals of all time!

[@TehTeh911]

I can't process these emotions you've put in me...the orbit and star line broke me..

Fun fact: I started crying while drawing those frames LOLOL

[@helenek.8832]

I love this so freaking much! What you're creating is so beautiful and amazing! It makes the viewer experience the whole musical in a completely different and unique way. I love it so much !

[@MirandaPla]

I appreciate that so much, bro -- thank you!! Animatics are such a unique medium; it's wonderful to be a part of this grassroots community.

[@jessicapeters7440]

When I realize I can't even draw as good as you rough animations. Lol.

[@MirandaPla]

It's all practice!! If you wanna get into it, just go for it!

[@katnance6155]

Wowww. I straight up have a crush on the version of Kelly you drew. She’s stunningly pretty!

[@vulturekidd0.screech811]

thank you so much for introducing me and so many others to this beautiful musical!!! When I saw the original animatic I had absolutely no idea what was going on, but something about the way you did it captured my attention and made me want to find out where this beautiful song came from and how it tied into the full story. I've been listening to this song and "I never got to say goodbye" on loop for the past three or four days, and this musical has begun to mean so much to me. It's so beautiful and heartbreaking and thrilling

[@MirandaPla]

Yessss thank you for seeking out the show!! It's wonderful that so many more people are finding this show -- it's somehow deeply relatable but avoids being cliche. And thank you for your kind words!

[@shroom_shroom_3457]

I came here to see the process and left crying all over again.

[@ellak6009]

(i am NOT a visual artist, i'm a performer XD) this song and show means so much to me, even if it triggers the ~emotions~ to an EXTREME!!! this is such an amazing video and obviously the completed version has brought so many people, including me, to this show! thanks for this, Miranda!

ngl my girlfriend (my dm) showed me your animatic and was like "this is your characters to a tee" and I cried in the car and said "I'm gonna make one for our dnd campaign as part of our memory recap.

[@offensiveoxygen]

@@MirandaPla how do you keep yourself motivated to keep working on the animatic?

[@MirandaPla]

@@offensiveoxygen Oh no, that's a good question. Um. I think motivation comes from the excitement of executing an idea that you're passionate about. It's much less about whether you LIKE the song, but rather if the concept YOU bring to it is engaging.

Hey I'm trying to get into a little digital art and possibly making animatics... I'm curious; what app/program do you use? Also, do you have any advice, or stuff (in regards to making are and animatics) that you wish you'd known earlier?

[@ЗояКалайджиева]

"Freedom" next maybe? Just a suggestion. Btw I don't know why anyone hasn't notice, but when Sam says "She was - everything I'm not, my whole universe" Kelly moves and Sam gets in her shadow. Great detail. And the Arby's.

[@MirandaPla]

Ack dude, I would love to do "Freedom", but I feel like I've shown my whole hand with the "Run Away With Me" animatic I'm about to release. But thanks for the suggestion! And for noticing the detail LOL

[@Jlkaoauhebrbjenendbdjdj]

Okay you did an absolutely fantastic job. I'm trying to get into animation myself and it's really encouraging to see the rough draft and final next to eachother like that. Also I was wondering does anyone else know how to get the licences to a song?

[@MirandaPla]

Hihi!! Thank you so much -- I'm glad you were able to get something out of this! As for acquiring a song license for an animatic -- I'm pretty sure you can't get one. Animatic artists' videos all get copyright claimed, so we earn no revenue from the success of our videos. And from my basic understanding of theatre-rights, I don't think it is possible to acquire the license of a single song (at least without paying a LOT of money).

[@Jlkaoauhebrbjenendbdjdj]

@@MirandaPla ooooo okie thank you so much for letting me know again absolutely fantastic work!

[@selenesspoilers6006]

This is so inspiring! Your awesome at drawing! May I ask what program/software you used?

[@DanyelleTheVariant]

Can you make a video on your process??

[@JustaFaller]

I absolutely loved seeing your rough version verses the final! I think my problem with creating animatics is that I try to make them polished the first time around so then the flow is kinda stunted due to that. So seeing how you plan and sketch it out is eye opening haha! Also what software do you use to draw and edit your videos? I’ve been searching for one other than using the kinda limited effects photoshop’s timeline offers and I would be so thankful to hear any recommendations you have!

[@gabrielletaylor1938]

This is so cool, also what software do you use??

[@artiekatie9056]

How many layers? 10000?

[@raincloud04]

I'm kinda confused on what happened in the story? Did the other girl accidentally run.over the other or did someone else or no one?

[@soopkreem5575]

One night a girl named Kelly (the blonde) drove with her car at high speed. Knowing she's going to hit a pedestrian across the street, she immediately swerved and actually died from the crash. The one who's singing (the black haired girl) is Sam, her best friend, who reminisces Kelly after hearing her bestie's passing The musical is called The Mad Ones, you should check it out. It's cool
