Kick It Up A Notch (W.I.P)- Starship Animatic

Alright here we go, the first two minutes of a Kick It Up A Notch animatic I'm working on. I love this song a lot. Anyways, enjoy!
Happy ten year anniversary, Starkid.

[@AbbyBubbls]

HELL YEAH, I'M EXCITED!

[@louie5647]

I KEEP SAYING THAT THE STARKID FANDOM GREW UP AND NOW THEY ARE MAKING THIS BEAUTIFUL ART

[@vicklepickle301]

OOOOOHHH *HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSS*

[@dosdosru371]

It's the best year ever if that's the case

[@stegosaurus6654]

I feel dumb I just got the "Be a man" joke

[@sorbet_salamanderd2014]

OH MY GOD I AM SO EXCITED LOOK AT MY BOY PINCER

[@cartoonking1895]

I wish there were more people who made Starkid animatics. This is simply amazing. :D

[@WilczycaCzarownica]

Claudia Cacace is starting to make Starkid animatics and I'm so excited!

[@margaretbonassar709]

The art style is giving me major poor unfortunate souls vibes EDIT: guys I know starships just the little mermaid but in space I just like the art style ok

[@ilselammers5850]

This song is literally poor unfortunate souls but with space bugs. The whole musical is the little mermaid but in space.

[@MakiPcr]

I mean......

[@graceyl.195]

You’re not wrong...

[@dnpanimationstudio382]

I LOVE how expressive Pincer is. Ngl a part of me feels like he saw a bit of himself in Bug and was reminded a bit of his past.

[@vilelilman4252]

The play needs to be a full animated movie. No ifs. In this amazing style of yours. But gah! I know that would be too much work! If I could animate I'd help. It's just. THAT great.

[@plumey7593]

This animatic alone just makes me want to watch the musical. The song shouldn't slap this hard and _yet it does_ . Amazing work Mak!

[@daliah8883]

@@plumey7593 do it do it do it do it it’s so good

[@marsfeathers]

This is amazing????? Theres so much movement and character in your drawings!!!! You made me get into starkid haha

[@shootingstarbit]

This is _gorgeous_ and incredibly professional-looking, can’t wait for the whole thing!

[@chloeanderson4696]

I LOVE the way you draw Pincer omfg

[@EmptyFeet]

Oh man, your stuff is just top-tier! @O@ beautiful!

[@octodaddy1602]

Like Bug's design is so perfect and simple, you can get so many emotions on there and they're so easy to read! And the foggy image of Joey in the tank is 👌👌👌 Everything about this is just so good

[@robooctopus]

This is amazing so far, I can't wait to see this finished! Love how you draw the bugs so expressive! That's something I've always had trouble with and probably one of the reasons I gave up a starship fan animation of Life. XD

[@spottedwillowwh8725]

DAMN THAT G.L.E.E! THEY'RE ALWAYS MAKING TWISTED ABOMINATIONS OF EVERYTHING!

[@kurkkupastillitjalammintee]

You interpretation is just amazing. The characters are so expressive, the movements are dynamic, the use of angels! Not to mention you added your own creativity and didn't just stick to what was on stage. I love it! Great work!

[@fizzycolalizzie]

IM SO ABNORMAL ABOUT THIS ENTIRE VIDEO WTFF THIS IS SOOOO GOOD???? the cinematography???? the staging???? the designs???? bug is so so cute hes just a little guy!! OBSESSED with pincer backing him up into the tube when the song gets intense holy crap

[@earmuffstar2074]

The drawing is so good,,,,, the way you juxtapose all the different characters in a 3D space?? all their motions??? your reimagining of the puppets?? when he sings the "prisoner" line and Bug backs up against the cryotube... just... *chef's kiss*

[@Abb5ieBM]

i love this! the bugs are so expressive, as much as i obvs love the original staged production, this really breathed new life into this song for me!

[@yellow-py]

I keep coming back to this animatic all the time!! It's so good! im like sitting her studying how u did it because it just amazes me how good you are keeping all the characters consistent even with so many frames and cool composition!!

[@Maktothefuture]

yellow-py oh my god thank you! I’m actually a big fan of YOUR work, so reading this was super awesome! And I’m glad that they still look consistent enough, getting some of those angles was a little tough 😅

[@violvtriot7927]

Imagine having the cutest art style ever

[@ShadeMeadows]

THIS MAKES ME BEYOND HAPPY!!! Favorite Song of Starship!! and it's one of my Favorite musicals EVER!!

[@bluejay-7299]

I think if Starship was an animated movie, it would work incredibly well!

[@lovisaandersson4079]

Wowowooza this is great! I always thought starship (especially kick it up a notch) would be so cool animated, and here you are doing gods work

[@pasxx]

_the sheer talent_

[@opera_ghost8504]

it's been months since I first watched this, and to this day I can't hear the line "it would, wouldn't it?" without thinking of your little character at the end. So smug, for something with only 1 eye and no mouth

[@lynchie2073]

okay i would die for this animatic please and thank you

[@badabingbadaboom9747]

this is so cool and wonderful!! you’ve taken the puppets from the irl musical and converted it into a dynamic 2d animatic with good movements and great posing, structure, and composition!!

[@divatheeva7519]

Seeing this animatic just makes me so happy every time I look at it, you’re awesome

[@avarcake8093]

you post just as the livestream lagged for a few minutes lol love it so far

[@CarmenflamdeZ]

I love this musical, and this is brilliant and gorgeous.

[@ukumeme8781]

How didn't I know about this before now holy crap

[@c.toschi6344]

AAAAAAAA I loved this so much! Look the art style ,how cute

[@jensrose3359]

I wish twisted and starship got like animated remakes by official big companies that be so cool.

[@indiemedley1209]

Maaaaan, I'm so sad this never got finished

[@onerosegrowing3664]

the face and body language are ON POINT! this looks great! :)

[@cass8167]

I'm glad someone appreciates Starship as much as I do

[@gremlinshipperontheloose2488]

You even made him do the little shoulder shimmy! Bless you, sir.

[@moss6962]

SO GOOD we need a full starship movie pls

[@NoPatricioNo]

This is great! I’d love to see a coloured version of this eventually!

[@KerbalFacile]

I can totally see Pincer swaying and bobbing along the jazzy snazzy melody as he quasi-hypnotizes Bug, like a monstrous chitinous hybrid of Ursula, Scar and Maui.

[@mariapotapova3511]

D-dude....... I've watched this like 5 times in a row. And then went back again after a day and watched it over and over again. This is such an amazing piece of work. Such expressive and pleasant designs. I'd watch a full length of this.

[@fillyreports]

THIS IS SO WONDERFUL

[@agneebags]

I LOVE HOW U MAKE THE CHARACTERS UR OWN OMG

[@Paola-bu8wx]

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE REST!!!

[@mehspacedorito]

OMG DUDE. THIS IS FUCKING GOLD!!! ITS SO DETAILED AND WELL PUT TOGETHER!! THE PERSPECTIVE IS GREAT AS WITH THE MOVEMENTS AND EXPRESSIONS!! This is very blessed and I applaud you for making this.

[@quirrelmorts]

THIS IS SO COOL

[@ivygilliam5168]

I am in awe of this framing.

[@god-rj5wf]

All these Starship animatics only prove my theory that this musical was just an adult Disney Movie-

[@trucetruce335]

FUUUCK THAT'S A DREAM COME TRUE YOU ARE AMAZING.

[@montymoon7700]

OHHH MY GODDDD this is legit SO GOOD. I'm so glad I was able to find this!

[@YourLocalChaosGremlin]

I love bug's Human outfit! the way you drew it is just *french kiss*

[@titty-mitty4414]

That one dislike is from the Overqueen

[@abigailowens3907]

The don bluth vibes are off the charts and i adore it

[@abbray]

This makes me want to learn how to animate just to make this into a full movie...

[@asianpotatoesbeangry571]

YO why do I feel like this guys singing can actually melt butter?

[@daliah8883]

That’s Dylan Saunders for you, his voice is GREAT.

[@lillianb8762]

A) I love this B) You make Pincer look so cute! No wonder Bug listened to his nonsense! (Besides, you know, having the magnificent vocals of Dylan ;) )

[@kerri-lynndunne9942]

My favorite song being animated? It's a dream come true! :D

[@georgehayward532]

Brilliant animation of a underrated gem

[@uglyferret9397]

[@Kangakool]

These are great videos! I really love the shots you’ve story boarded! You really tell the story well! I’d love to see more from starship, it’s such a great show!

[@s.m.2523]

Very nice. Though you're missing the one thing that makes Pincer more "alien" than a regular giant scorpion; the two distinct mouthes. (I sort of imahien you could inspire yourelf of a solifuge for that)

[@Brodingles]

Oooh this is so cool and inspiring!

[@dwftmyearth6166]

An animatic for this song is desperately needed! I’m so glad to seem more starkids animatics this year!

[@Yeeishaw]
