Polyphemus Storyboard vs animatic (plus some notes)

[@WolfyTheWitch]

another look into the behind the scene process is this video :D twitter.com/WolfyTheWitch/status/1657704090401660928?s=20

[@fyysha]

"Every character gets sexier when they bow with a smile" well well well now if that aint just the truth

[@familytelevision8083]

3:09 "every character gets sexier when they bow with a smile" that's so true lmao!

[@shannonoconnell95]

"Personally I think Polyphemus decided to kill him right at this line" -- Glad to see I'm not the only person who thought this 🤣

[@MinisDunyasi5]

It’s very impressive how much thought you put into a 4 minute animatic. Seeing storyboards of animatics and learning about the thoughts behind the animatics and storyboards makes me respect artists patience so much.

I KNEW IT, WHEN I SAW THAT SHOT OF THE HAND SLIDING OVER THE RIM I KNEW THAT WAS THE MOTIVATOR! It was so well done, and is also my favorite part, its just so good and smooth and just perfect for the lyrics!

[@Pho_]

And of how each character looks hotter when they bow and smile

[@FairFeline]

The sheep are too cute to die. If I'm honest they deserved what he wanted to do to them.

[@travislyonsgary]

An interesting detail from the original was that Polyphemus wasnt using the sheep for meat but rather specifically milk and whool. So killing his favorite sheep may uave meant taking a rather long lived one.

[@joan.dh.0325]

Oh gosh I didn't know Odysseus had a wedding ring till I saw the note at 2:01 LOL!

[@diehexeart]

a snippet to survive, i need to lay down and prepare myself to be absolutely heartwrecked

[@alakazamlover4908]

2:26 that is frankly funny one scene made you do it the scene that would do that for me is from "ruthlessness" just the entire starting beating of "It isn't very often that i get pissed off, i try to chill with the waves, but DAMN YOU CROSSED A LINE!" etc. cant wait to see what comes from you in the future~

[@reaxoxome]

wowwwww the snippet at the end for survive?!?!?!?!?!?!!!? *sobs throws up sneezes yawns* it’s amazing!!!!!

[@anunknownentity5070]

I think it’s amazing how you can go from simple outlines to an amazing, detailed animatic!

[@diehexeart]

yes this shot of the rim of the barrel.. is so smooth..... beautiful

[@bojuu]

this is amazing :000 thank you for the food also, you should upload more of these. theyre genuinely really interesting

[@ximenarodriguez2185]

Glad you specify it. I'm obssess with the hand scene 2:24

[@cheeseyhotdog2002]

This is so cool! I just read the cyclops from the odyssey for school last week, and seeing this was really awesome :)

[@mushroom5071]

KNEW IT. I knew that hand animation felt so important and so satisfying for some reason XD Still could watch it all day. Masterpiece ❤

[@collectorofmyst2107]

Odysseus is just sexy, period, but yes, especially when he smiles and bows. And I wish more people gave insight to the way they animate, it's just so fun to see! And to see where someone began versus where they ended up.

[@freyablackman3860]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOLFY THIS IS AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE AWESOME INSIGHT INTO YOUR PROCESS! I would love to make more animatics in general but I always put too much detail into the rough pre-Animatic storyboard so I end up losing inspiration but it’s really cool to see how loose you are with the initial storyboard and then the refinement in the Animatic! Well done!

[@Ramona0517]

First love your entire thought process and thank you for sharing this. Second YOU DAMN RIGHT CHARACTERS LOOK SEXY WHEN BOWING WITH A SMILE😂❤️

[@EEEEE3EEEEE]

I love this so much, it is so fascinating to me how this type of thing is planned out differently based on personal artist preferance. It looks so good!!

[@faerietearz]

Also this is just so cool to see the concept compared to the finished product! Its amazing what you can do!

[@meccombs7629]

This is so cool Wolfy!!! And the snippet for Survive? Absolutely Epic!!! (Pun intended! ;D

[@MN-br7fg]

I'm still stuck on how cute those sheeps are

[@tiffanykay6060]

This is really cool! I personally love your animatic style the most out of all the others I've seen. They're smart and have incredible shots. The real bread winner though is the amazing facial expressions and emotions you're able to convey. I leave your animatics playing in the background when I study sometimes, so uh, you're welcome for the extra views I guess :3c

[@SolmaTalif]

I like how your added in when you thought Polyphemus decided to kill Odysseus as well

[@WolfyTheWitch]

haha that was a joke, i think he probably never planned to let them go

[@SolmaTalif]

Oof XD that’s fair

[@toruyn]

3:08 OH THE POWER YOU HOLD OVER KNOWING THAT INFORMATION. A BOW AND A SMILE AND A HANDSOME MAN AHHH

[@hadarmedina362]

You are just amazing!!! I love to see the sketch!

[@oliviahibbard9328]

OH MY GOSH I MISSED THE WEDDING RING WHEN I SAW THE ANIMATIC I love all of this so much

[@Shyme_]

1:51 he looks like a wet cat

[@abendfell3862]

he IS a wet cat

[@seasonaldecor4161]

That was really cool watching your process in creating this, love your story boarding and style! Are you making one for Survive😮

[@queenofthepierats]

This is so freaking cool. I love seeing how people go about things. 💖

[@ameridraws]

"every character gets sexier when they bow with a smile" eheheheh so true XD

[@frick-diddly]

Maybe it wasn't as detailed or informative as some people's storyboards, but honestly I sketch things similarly because I have a good idea of what I'm thinking of just by seeing the basic shape reminders so it's relatable 😅 A good excuse to see the animatic and hear the experimental music again, too ;))

[@metalkitty2173]

My favourite detail in this is Polites hugging Eurylochus. It's just Polites being a wholesome boy and I love it

[@Elf1sh_]

I really like the bit where he leans on the wine barrel. I could eat that frame up in seconds.

[@SarahBoyd-w2m]

Omg this made me cry so hard at the end 😭😭

[@taniaalegre174]

this is beautiful, What program do you use for your animations?

[@WolfyTheWitch]

toonboom!

[@Ros13_Pos13]

i love these bts stuff especially with art and animatics its interesting to see the creative choices one takes and their take on things i love it so much

[@justspec]

The shots that you have in this are absolutely fantastic!! You make sure to make use of your camera in almost every shot, especially with showing the viewer just how much of a threat the giant is through his sense of scale. I can't get over the use of the upshots/downshots, especially when Theseus feels more cocky, the camera shifting to underneath him to show he feels like he has the upper hand? Ugh, your visual storytelling is so good.

[@UnknownShiny]

i will say this on every post related to polyphemus: he’s so babygirl coded

[@MrBrauza]

Ang galing mo pre idol

[@abbster515]

2:12 I love Polites' double thumbs up :D

[@elizabethafton8077]

Bro big fan also I love your vids amazing work 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@ambrosia15]

Can you please make a tutorial on how you draw or animate like that? It’s so good!

[@amazemek]

your work is amaziiing

[@JMPT]

Extra Nice 🤍🤍🤍

[@LittleSealPupper]

You are right, characters do get sexier when they bow.

[@chodnikzcegly]

It is your best animation love it

[@milkannnaondicho1020]

OMG YES THE SECOND HE MADE THAT EYE COMMENT I KNEW HE WAS DONE

[@anansajohnson9139]

2:01 i never notice the wedding ring... 3:23 will that pun was horrible and they did kill his favorite sheep...

[@wutyouwant6549]

This is just a vr video. As animator I find it hard right after you have your reference to go on because you might have other ideas later on but then you don’t have the easy way to draw the perspective and the rest

[@BlueRose791]

That's amazing!!! 💙✨✨

[@diehexeart]

hehe the wedding ring 😭😭😭

[@domitilletertrais3879]

Lololol so true that everyone gets hotter when they bow and smile

[@artzyrie]

This is absolutely amazing !! ✨️what program do you use to animate ? :0

[@WolfyTheWitch]

Toon boom!

[@hachiuekumo]

"lol polyphemus is flashing him" 🤣

[@liviathon]

This is so cool! I have a question, is it okay if I do a drawing based off of the scene at 0:47 i love How it Looks and id love to draw it at some point. If it’s okay I’ll make sure to credit you if i Post it anywhere.

[@WolfyTheWitch]

yeah thats fine

[@shortforbrother]

Dude so talented and you do it between clases, what are you studying?

[@WolfyTheWitch]

Animation! I'm in my first year

[@shortforbrother]

@@WolfyTheWitch Thats sooo cooool, do you have recommendations for schools?

[@mint7442]

As an animator myself Do you hate yourself? These storyboards could never be enough for me

[@AWizardIsNeverrLate]

I feel unworthy to look at this. Wow. Was this drawn and animated in procreate?

[@Chibi.Lucca1]

what program do you use to animate? TwT

[@Valk2rae]

Hi, so I'm actually planning on trying to make this animatic. Not from the beginning but at the start of the wine voice line. I may take inspiration from it is that okay? Ill try to be as original and this will not be posted its just for learning purposes only

[@blackstar-nr5ds]

What app do you use?

[@WolfyTheWitch]

toonboom!

[@SarahBoyd-w2m]

But amazing work

[@Heem124]

Definitely decided to kill them cause of the eye to eye line

[@craftsanddiamonds4152]

what do you animate on???
