I've watched this a million times. The fact that when burr confronts hamilton he seems yellow but when burr follows him into the room its purple, only lit by a candle. The fact that Hamilton BLOCKS the light from hitting burr in the room. The fact that the doors turn into CARDS as you hear "no one knows how the game is played". The cards having their faves on them. The painting of them shaking their hands but looking pained and fake. Burr watching from outside of the room and jefferson walking in front of his silhouette. THIS IS THE BEST HAMILTON ANIMA TI C BY FARRRR

[@myrussianempire8647]

[@codeiasnotdead2945]

That’s what’s sad about Hamilton, so many people think he’s the big hero and burr’s the monster when, in reality, if you look back in deeper you realize that some of the things Hamilton did were totally crazy. In the end it kinda seems like Hamilton is the monster.

[@alex-kq6it]

"We just assumed that it happened. But no one else was in the room where it happened." That can go for both ways. In history we learn about those men's stories. About their decisions and the outcome. But we don't really learn what pushed them into those decisions or anything TOO personal about them. Maybe things could be wrong for all we know. Not only for Hamilton. In older history too.

The way Hamilton referenced Burr's main philosophy, to wait, and dissed how ineffective it was made my heart explode. Not only that but when Burr said, "you got more than you gave," and Hamilton responded, "and I wanted what I got." When Hamilton does things like this, it sends a chill down my spine.

[@rarewubbox6413]

but it's true. you can't get politically popular if you stand by and watch it happen, without spreading your beliefs. as hamilton said, you can't win unless you are playing the game. and, after hamilton pushed burr to stop waiting for it, further after this burr took hamilton's father in law's senator spot and nearly became president, becoming vice president instead

[@niky_peixoto]

I agree. I saw people saying that, for them, it was at that song that Burr started to look more like a villain, but I disagree completely. Hamilton looks way more like the villain and Burr looks more like the good guy that wants to do something but doesn't know how. The song is basically about how Burr thinks that Hamilton used of inmoral means to get what he wanted, but nobody saw it, so he can't prove it, so he gets desperated to be inside the "room where it happens" so he can maybe stop things from going south.

[@Chirpysemperboy]

@@niky_peixoto But of course, what this animation conveys, is the defeated look in Hamilton's eyes. He has tried everything else. EVERYTHING. And gotten nothing and nowhere. The only way he can get what he wants is something that will crush his soul.

[@niky_peixoto]

@@Chirpysemperboy But I think "what he wanted" was by itself a problem. Like, Hamilton wanted so bad to have full control of the economy that he got to the point of rejecting alternatives that could also solve the problem, but that wouldn't give him this power (that's by the true story, it's not said in the song)

[@drangelice]

I personally think that the part where Hamilton takes on a more vindictive tone, mocking Burr and taking on this evil villain role never actually happened. It’s all just in Burrs head, he sees Alexander’s trap card move and it twists his mind.

[@Honor_mp3]

it's a pretty cool guess

[@niky_peixoto]

I think it's the opposite. If you analise Burr and Hamilton's true story, it looks more and more like Hamilton wasn't exacly a great guy while Burr was very good. Hamilton got into thousands of duels and he manipulated his gun so he could shoot faster (obviouly won all of them, since he was alive), and he used the same manipulated gun while dueling against Burr (I doubt he missed on purpose). Burr, on the other way, was described as having "the rigor of a devil and the imparciality of an angel", because in his job he was alwayns imparcial and fair even against people which were his opponents. He sent letters to Hamilton to ask him to back down on the rumors about him, because they were extremely serious, including a rumor about him fucking his own daughter (and we know how much Burr loved her and his family in general). Burr was also a feminist while Hamilton was much more conservative about it. There are also other storys, like how Burr lied to Hamilton so he could open a bank that destroyed Hamilton's party monopoly, and how Burr sold his watch to help poor kids because he didn't have anything else. I actually believe that Hamilton did acts of corruption and Burr noticed and tried to do something about it by becoming a politician of the opposition. Besides, Hamilton was trying to create a strong government and went as far as to want the president and senators to have LIFETIME positions, while Burr didn't like the idea at all.

[@drangelice]

@@niky_peixoto right except the Hamilton musical isn't actually real. We must accept the story presented and analyse it on its own merits. What "actually happened" doesn't matter and has no impact on the narrative presented.

[@niky_peixoto]

@@drangelice Right, but I do think the inspiration cannot be ignored. I do think that Burr wasn't a complete villain at the musical either, even because I started to search about him because I like his character at the musical and I do think he looks nice, even if he looks, indeed, quite the narcissist

[@WillofStone08]

​@@niky_peixotoI always assume is somewhere in between the rumors, I don't think we can ascertain for sure what happened but I think they were in the end just humans doing human stuff. And as celebrities of the time any mistake gets exaggerated 100 fold. We can all try to reach conclusions on what actually happened but the truth none of us were in "The Room where it happened" So it's hard to get all the context over why certain decisions were made.

Then finally, he forces him self in to the light, because he wants to know what happens, he doesn't want to be kept in the dark no more. The yellow/purple really fit the mood well - well done! Also, we see the light shine, and burr watching out the window, meaning that he isin't connected to the truth, but he knows the news, so he is watching throught the window, not knowing the full context. I really like that part ^^.

[@jeanlikesart376]

I find that Hamilton is the villain of his own story. He constantly foils himself and he shouldn’t have died. Love Hamilton (in the musical at least) but he had three months to call off the duel. Not to say Burr was right, but if Hamilton had said sorry or just called it off, he wouldn’t have left his family behind. His pride was a major downfall for him. He did a lot of things to foil himself. That’s just my perspective though.

It’s been like 3 months and I still can’t stop watching it. This is honestly the best animatic I’ve ever seen in my life

[@robertglogowski777]

The “what do you want Burr”s get me every timeeee

[@rinaemern3581]

The last second with smiling Burr SO EXCELLENT, MY SOUL SCREAM 😭

[@Theyadorealyssa]

The way Burr says “I got to be,” is so good 4:32

[@aenor-llelo]

things you notice watching the hamilton musical -Room Where It Happens occurs right as hamilton walks out of reynold's house -washington and king george are part of the crowd during The Reynolds Pamphlet -burr was smiling during hamilton's bit in The Election Of 1800. he legit thought hamilton was going to pick him, and he spent the rest of the song in utter shock -when it's hamilton's turn in Your Obedient Servant, his dancers are sending waves of papers to burr, with the last one doing this incredibly sarcastic ballerina's walk as they flutter the paper to burr -the running gag where madison keeps fucking coughing (the real madison was pretty sickly, but it's funny to see this giant burly dude keep politely coughing into a hankerchief)

[@cauyoon6996]

The transitions, the expressions- they're all so great! A couple of moments I especially loved: - 1:58 Heheh Jefferson using the swivel chair (which he invented) - 2:11 I love how TJeff, Madison and Hamilton are trying to be displays/paintings to fake their appearance to the public, the whole "talk less smile more" mentality and trying to save face. - My absolute favourite scene in this animatic is the emphasis placed at 3:55 when Hamilton raises his hand, while saying that "I wanna build something that's gonna outlive me"- foreshadowing the moment when Hamilton aims his pistol at the sky. (To get even more meta, the pose also mirror's the musical's logo, and the musical was not only a result of Alexander's legacy, but it has also become a part of his legacy :) ) Overall, amazing work! You should be proud of what you've created! You've earned a new subscriber :)

[@Leron...]

I was hoping at least one comment would point out the inclusion of Jefferson's swivel chair. I'm glad someone else noticed!

Small extra thing, Jefferson’s menu consisted of ham, which I thought was silly

[@dianahuckaby4547]

This i believe is where Burr's jealousey of Alexander really comes into play.

[@nightshift9791]

I am overly happy that people are still making Hamilton animatics Room where it happens animatics are always so interesting, and this is no exception like woah

[@ally_voe_710]

The whole thing is absolutely amazing, but what made this so great for me was the light symbolism. Everyone else that was ignorant to what was happening was always portrayed in the dark, even Burr himself was colored purple until the very end. I loved this too much.

[@julietredlife]

THIS IS SO GOOD WHATTTT i keep on pausing and looking at details and transitions they're so smart!! absolutely fantastic

[@robburitto4193]

Fun Fact: Because Hamilton's affair takes place right before this song, he speaks in short quips for this song. All other songs he speaks with much more confidence, but we see Hamilton gain more confidence throughout the song, and start speaking longer and more witty phrases.

[@sublimebouquetblaze9198]

Oh yeah that *is* actually pretty cool

[@985_sonic]

i was today years old when i found out about _this_

[@landofthewildmaddi3840]

I think that was cuz he was trying to follow burrs advice which doesn’t last long cuz that’s hard cuz he’s talkative

[@landofthewildmaddi3840]

Although I could be wrong.

[@_____________a_a]

@@landofthewildmaddi3840both is good tbh

[@flqw3d40]

when hamilton says "you don't get a win unless you are playing the game" I feel burr took those words to heart because he looks so shocked and he then proceeded to start his political carrier.

[@jeannebouwman1970]

Yes that is the point of the song

[@socriabbas454]

Its because, Hamilton has been taking NYC by a storm, he made a huge impact in their campaign while Burr just stands in a side line and "wait" for things to work out but he failed to realize if he wants things to change he needs to make decision and actually step up. Both Hamilton and Burr has dreams and goals only difference is Hamilton has ambition

[@loganwilliams9104]

Bruh, that's literally the entire point of the song. Bur doesn't really get it untill Hamilton goes "You get nothing if you wait for it." Which is why you literally hear him announce that he wants to be in the "Room where it happens."

[@vampywrin]

0:17 Burr: " We oughta give it a try " Hamilton: * NERVOUSLY LAUGHS IN "AARON BURR SIR! NO-" *

[@little1133]

Burr helped Hamilton try that 😇

[@talsegev677]

This is a masterpiece! The colors, the transitions, the imagery. If I list every single thing I like about this we'll be here forever, but here's a few: 1) the doors multiplying and turning into cards 2) madison's expression after everyone yells where they want the capital 3) burr peeping through the windows 4) the shadows with demon eyes 5) the yellow outline on a completely purple hamilton near the end 6) the screen goes blank once in the beginning and twice nearer the end, i especially liked "close your eyes" *clear background* 7) doors into stairs!! Besides, of course, Burr literally chasing after the room and how beautifully you presented his struggle. It's also synced perfectly with the music!

[@talsegev677]

Also the fact that you started this three years ago and finally got the motivation to finish it is an inspiration to all artists

[@amrithapai8436]

no. 2 is the best 😂

[@k.s50]

Also loved the wait for it part near the end

[@pumpkinspice7541]

So, with the outline on Hamilton, I think it's to represent Burr's knowledge of him. The people in yellow are the people who are "in the room where it happens"- they know all the deep secrets that go on. The people in purple are the people in the dark. And, during the stated conversation between Burr and Hamilton, I think the yellow outline means that Burr only knows the surface level of Hamilton. He hasn't seen the entire person.

[@pallasnelli1091]

d a n g there were so many bits of shot composition, imagery, and lighting in here that were just,,,, so choice

[@artistonthemoon8224]

BURR JUST STALKING THEM THROUGH THE WINDOWS IS SO GOOD

[@aoj53]

Omg the way you have them back to back during the “and all he had to do was die. Now that’s a lot less work we outta give it a try” so it mirrored the beginning of a dual. That is how you do artistic foreshadow

[@carolkoski4875]

This got me CHILLS It's honestly the best Hamilton animatic I've watched The way you played with lighting and the door symbolism to represent Burr's descend into the man who killed Alexander Hamilton is AMAZING Your storyboards are incredible

[@KennethPalmer]

I love the line "God help and forgive me; I wanna build something that's gonna outlive me!" so much. That one line just refuses to leave my brain.

[@pinnapop7895]

[@fbi538]

the compromise of 1790 was one of the most important bargains in american history but literally nobody knows what was talked about

[@appletheking7340]

I love the contrast of yellow and purple with yellow being what was told to the public and purple being what happened behind the scenes. This is probably the best animatic I’ve ever seen

[@overlyoptimistic843]

The use of lighting in this is absolutely amazing! You have the streetlights acting as spotlights, shining on those ‘in the room’ but not on Burr, who remains in the dark. Then you have the backlight on Hamilton when he asks what burr is waiting for... it not only makes him seem that much more powerful than Burr but also, not to get too deep into the metaphor, could show how history shines on Hamilton but not Burr? Anyway, at the end, when Burr becomes senator, he is now in the light. He’s made it into the room. Sorry for the rant this is just so great!

[@HuangHYing]

No worries I love reading all these analyses and seeing what people get out of the animatic haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it enough to write one yourself, thanks very much

[@Saisaikiart]

This is so beautiful, the doors turning into cards there are so many amazing design choises

[@copper2470]

wow this is an amazing animatic some of my favorite things: 1) the lighting and scene changes on the "dun dun dundundundun dUn" 2) the door to cards transition 3) lightingggg 4) transitionsssss 5) the expressions on the faces show so much emotion how-

this is actually like one of my favorite hamilton animatics ive ever seen im?? i love the coloring and shading choices and how they're used (the purple vs the yellow), i LOVE the transitions and the way the animatic flows, the expressions and your art style, and the ending was not what i expected like dang the song ends with the start of burr's political career that's clever basically i love this animatic & you did a dang good job!!

[@theocanonico9717]

A NEW HAMILTON ANIMATIC! FINALLY! Edit: AND IT’S ONE OF MY FAVE SONGS TO!

[@roswalz]

this is suchhhh an amazing animation like everyone’s talking about the song but come on. the lighting, and literally everything. the lines are so clean, the color palette is immaculate, and all the little details in gestures and frames. i rlly like how we can sort of see the frames and stuff get looser and more confident. i could rewatch this all day i swear also THE DESIGNS?? HELLO

[@fridareyes6623]

I really love this song, it's one of my favourites from "Hamilton". The animation makes it better, the way you play with shadows to represent emotions or a moment of tension and the way you've made the characters I love it, it goes really well with the rhythm and the lyrics.

[@urban_gse_]

Yep

[@lduarte3410]

I love how burr is literally stalking Jefferson and Madison

[@TobbiMartinez-jq6ux]

I love the attention to detail the emphasis on the mouth or facial expressions, cause it's not always about the body the face tells a lot, even the part with the cards. Overall, this is a smart little skit, and I enjoy it

[@Liyuhhj]

This is one of the most beautifully planned animatics I’ve seen. The switch between purple and yellow turned out amazing and the moving doors, switching of light and flitting figures create a perfect sense of urgency as if Aaron’s physically chasing after the “room where it happens”

[@DaffyDuck-f7k]

No one: Aaron burr: looking through the window like a creepy lad 2:56

[@yeahyeah4914]

*he peek*

[@aceofdoors2746]

He do be peeking

[@zarinaa1135]

I love how him hitting the door is so perfectly synced with the desperation in his voice at 4:31 Fabulous job on the whole thing!

[@lqy4638]

I don't know how many times I've watched this already... the perspective, the details, the symbolism... it's mesmerizing. I love the energy and motion in all those lines and the switches between the setting between Aaron Burr and the story that he's telling. I especially like the confrontation scene with Hamilton where the candlelight illuminates them. The little step back that Burr has when he realises what Hamilton did, the motion of Hamilton's coat at 3:41, and when they switch from half-illuminated to being back-lit when the piano chords start up again. And idk why, but that little detail where Burr's mouth widens at 4:09 when singing that note...I can't get over it it's so good. And that face at 4:15... it's so chilling I love it. Edit: Apparently I can't get enough of the symbolism. At 3:43 Burr is half-lit before Hamilton's shadow blocks out the light, shows how Burr realizes that Hamilton is outdoing him, even when using Burr's own tactics of "talk less, smile more", while Burr is just lagging behind.

[@pinkajou656]

These time stamps are dead-on!!! Thanks!!!!

[@Whoops_Uhoh]

My history teacher showed us this video and I was obsessed with how well you drew the emotions, giving this video more feeling than the song itself! Absolutely incredible.

[@lavapug]

I love this song so much because even though the events it’s literally about have nothing to do with Burr, it’s Burr’s song. It’s the event that makes him finally realize waiting for it won’t get him anything and he’s just been wasting his time. And it takes Hamilton telling that to his face for him to realize it. The song just describes Burr’s character changes and his realization so well. Also it’s *such a banger*

[@turtlie7309]

This is probably my new favorite animatic. The colors, the lighting, the way the doors were used in multiple creative ways, and Thomas’s snarky face...I could go on and on.. it’s just perfect

[@bowtiebazaar263]

SO PEOPLE, WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS: Stellar drawing skills Incredible foresight Mind-blowing cinematography Unparalleled reality to metaphor transitions And one of the top animatics I have seen for Hamilton or anything else built with the love and passion that only a few possess. Standing applause, so good, and honestly, thank you for doing this for us.

[@gamETman2000]

Woah… the doors turning into cards was BRILLIANT

[@internalwolf2945]

I hope this doesn't go underrated

[@RainbowEssence-c3w]

In some ways I can sympathize with Burr. I myself tend to be a bit overly cautious, preferring to wait for an advantage before taking risks (or if possible not taking any risks). I also tend to be the kind of person that doesn't like rocking the boat, I try to avoid stepping on people's toes. Unfortunately for Burr, his caution and tendency to try to appease others deprived him of several opportunities that bolder men like Hamilton, who didn't mind saying things that might offend others and taking risks, took advantage of and benefited from. Caution and tact are not by themselves bad traits, they can in fact be quite positive depending on the situation. It's just that Burr took those two traits too far and in this situation it didn't benefit him. I can kind of relate lol, I have missed out on opportunities myself because I hesitated, didn't want to take risks or step on others. Hamilton is more mercenary in that way. A very minor example lol, but for example I have missed out on things that were limited (food, items, etc.) because I didn't want to push past others or be rude. Also I'm sorry but at 3:57 I just imagine Hamilton shouting "OBJECTION!" lol

[@bennetdiesperger4080]

This is totally what i thought! Most times its actually smarter to be cautious. (In my experience at least)

[@theartroomAM]

If they ever make a official movie musical remake of hamilton (that isn't a stage recording) I hope this is what it would look the when they do this song. The idea of making the cards into doors it's so clever, and would just be wild to see in live action.

[@BlankSpace1.0]

Broo I love how you use lighting/color in this. Especially at 1:31 how when Burr opens the door it's dark but as soon as Jefferson opens it, its light again. This whole thing is so good! Great job!

[@winstonpotts9776]

I love how Hamilton constantly looks tired. it absolutely lines up with how he probably actually felt. He had so much on his plate and you signified that perfectly!

[@KIngFreg42]

If Hamilton wasn't actually a live performance and instead a movie or something, I imagine it looking like this

[@tucan9111]

can I just say the transition from "I arranged the meeting..." to " *but* no one else was in the room..." is just genius!
