Love in Paradise Full Animatic | EPIC: The Musical (Wisdom Saga)

[@Copper_Bexx]

What song should I animate next?? Torn between God Games and Legendary/Little Wolf 😭

[@Three_hundred_forty_six_rats]

LEGENDARY (I'm very invested in this musical)

[@Copper_Bexx]

@@Three_hundred_forty_six_rats Legendary is such a bop! I have such a clear mental image of it

[@Three_hundred_forty_six_rats]

@@Copper_Bexx it's definitely my second or third favorite, I adore love in paradise

[@amandahaag8009]

Love how you have Calypso make Odysseus kneel using her powers, but then release him when she says she brings no pain. Just that subtle threat and reminder of the power she holds is so well done.

[@Copper_Bexx]

Thank you! I really wanted to emphasize that although it's a cheery sounding song, Calypso is actually pretty scary! 🌴🌺

[@bradenpotts]

I think that part was done so well

[@Crab-Man42]

I like how “wife” so clearly bugs Calypso. I also like the scared expression on Odysseus’ face when he says “goddess?” Poor dude just realized the creepy woman stranger-danger-ing him has him completely at her mercy.

[@Copper_Bexx]

@@Crab-Man42 I figured Ody is probably sick and tired of dealing with these gods and goddesses by now and would be scared of getting attacked AGAIN 😭

[@Coolkid99880]

Anyone else get such a great brain itch when she says “bow down now to the immortal ✨Calypso✨” I literally can’t get enough of it.

[@Copper_Bexx]

One of the best parts of the song for sure

[@celinnec.valdez9995]

Ahh, finally found a companion. There's just something about how she says it, and the notes that play when she does. It's addicting.

[@izzyjones662]

Yes!

[@pinkajou656]

Aw man absolutely

[@m.x.b.9949]

I like the way she delivers “cause we got all we could want here…” etc after that. It feels more ominous than the beginning of the song

[@feathered_turtle]

this is amazing i love how calypso is like “oh, feeling haunted by the memories of your dead friends and allies? well let me just conjure a few flowers tucked behind your ear that should do the trick-“

[@Copper_Bexx]

Thank you!!

[@orangelemonsss]

@@Copper_Bexx she probably didn’t, which makes it even better. Really emphasizes how much she’s forcing this upon him

[@SHOESTEALER_YT]

i love how bro is literally sobbing and his first mental breakdown thought was “mother athena where tf did you go”

[@Omphalite]

Nah he's been there for seven damn years. That's a cry of complete desperation. He doesn't even know if she's listening, he hasn't heard from her in ten years, but he's at the very end of his ropes and it's the last faint itty bitty hope he could dig out.

[@SHOESTEALER_YT]

@@Omphalite i dont know how to reply to this but go off ig

[@Ella-cd1qt]

​@@Omphalite No cause the amount of desperation he had to call Athena a goddess that left him ten years ago who is also, VERY petty Arachne got turned into a spider 💀 and he doesnt even know if she would bother listening but still calls anyways

i love the detail of odyseuss getting covered in flowers like hes calypso's little dress up doll, definitely my favorite fan animatic detail i've seen so far.

[@Copper_Bexx]

Thank you! I thought it would be a great way to show how she is trying to make him the way she wants she wants him to be 🌺

[@Olivia-pj9wy]

I love that Odysseus shoves Calypso away from him and *toward* the cliff edge, she’s alive and he’s stuck because of the power she has and being on the island

[@Copper_Bexx]

@@Olivia-pj9wy thank you!! I’m glad you noticed. He’s so frustrated with her by that point

The thought that Calypso accidentally triggered Ody by saying “open arms” pops into my head whenever I hear this song. He’s already on the edge but Calypso says those two words and he’s all of a sudden pushed into flashbacks of his friends words. Calypso doesn’t know him the way she thinks she does, because if she did, she would’ve known

[@gwennorthcutt421]

i always am thinking this too. esp since polites immediately pops up after she says it. :(

[@SkateDancer2234]

This was REALLY GOOD!! the song itself blindsided me (I didn’t even consider it being a favorite, now it is The One.) You’re the first one I’ve seen to have the FULL animatic and believe me, I was SO excited. The ONLY change I’d like to have seen here, and this is after a few minutes and another watch through, I’d just have had ody’s head turn from looking outside the cave when saying no. But I’m not artistic, so this is just me. It is amazing as it is, thank you for sharing!

[@Copper_Bexx]

Thank you for the suggestion, I totally agree!😁

[@JustA-RandomBoy]

Gotta love the fact that Ody is perfectly shown how long she’s kept him prisoner. And the way Calypso’s body movement is just shows how much of a manipulator she is. She’s there just gaslighting him the whole time.

[@Faith276]

AAAAH THIS IS SO GOOD!! Your Calypso design is LOVELY, I love the frame where she uses her powers to make Ody kneel in front of her. The flower magic throughout- it looks so innocent and romantic on the surface, but it's smothering him. I love the transition of him growing older and then the ghosts of everyone he's lost on the cliff- towering over him, overwhelming him with grief. This is such a beautiful animatic!

[@Copper_Bexx]

Thank you so much!!

[@gwennorthcutt421]

there's a lot to love here (odysseus looks So tired; i like how calypso just. doesnt get what he wants/needs in addition to ignoring), but a minor thing: i like how you designed aeolus

[@doctorenvy9650]

one of my favorite things about this song is that Ody is still guilty about what happened to his crew after all this years. A lot of people tend to put that mishap into black and white as if it were a simple situation, as if Odysseus was 100% willing to kill all of his friends and men.

[@Copper_Bexx]

I think part of why I was so impacted by this song is that reflection at the end. The “all I hear are screams” motif is one of my favorite in EPIC, and it was heartbreaking to realize the impact of Odysseus’s actions on his soul!

[@doctorenvy9650]

​@@Copper_Bexx It really does show how complex Odysseus is, sometimes I see the fandom sort mischaracterizes Odysseus as "heartless badass" after "Monster" and this mischaracterization goes further after "Different Beasts", so a lot of people seem to rationalize Odysseus deciding his own friends should die after their (to me; somewhat understandable) betrayal. Also side note I still really hate how people (the fandom) treat the Crew more as braindead individuals who just deserve to die rather than people with their own motives, a lot of people act like theyre willing to kill them off which makes me worry about what their interactions with their friends are 💀

[@Iry2024]

I felt like the touches were a fun (and sad) way to show that Odysseus 100% Does Not Care About Calypso Like That and that Calypso absolutely does not respect about his boundaries. I tried to make sure he frowned extra hard whenever she touched him ✋🏽🌸🥀😡

[@jaskawal2967]

​@@Copper_Bexx I just read the word touch and my mind went to Calypso just booping Odysseus with her fingers again and again like touch touch touch until he's annoyed 😂 it was all in my head

[@----Skelly----]

Every one of these i see hes waking up by the sea. That makes no sense to me because he's been there for 7 years. In my head i see him waking up in her bed by the shore, like her house with the island view. I love this though and you did an amazing job. Love your style and her making him kneel was so well done

[@Copper_Bexx]

Thank you so much! In my mind, when he first wakes up it is immediately after Thunder Bringer ("you've been resting for a while/I swore that you were dead when you washed up on my isle"), and then at some point later the time jumps through those seven years! I chose to show it right around when Athena pops up again because I liked the transition 😊
