However, as adorable as Adam is, I'm still on Team Kelly and I'll die by that.

THE PICTURES OF KELLY TURNING INTO HIM OW

[@prislydawn]

I just love that we can still see Kelly's ghost and how she sees her in him.

[@Sureisthatsme]

Bro imagine being SPONSORED by the people who made the musical

[@datgirl4989]

😉

[@gabriellerust1247]

Ahhhh the poetry of adam repeatedly holding a map with marked out destinations compared to how kelly thought maps repeatedly states that maps are stupid

[@MirandaPla]

;D ;D ;D

[@gigi2820]

I love how you used some of the camera angles and compositions from the Go Tonight animatic, it's so goooood

[@swirlingsun]

legends supporting legends

[@user-qb6hm8qw2n]

Love your animatics.

[@haleydif6120]

That relatable moment when you think Sam is a lesbian, but then you google the musical and they were just really good friends

[@MirandaPla]

:')

[@gabriellerust1247]

I also think theres something amazing about how platonic love and how it can be just as important as romantic love. (But I totally get what you're saying)

[@salemmaxwell570]

i head canon her as bi and being torn between them

[@Rosevieenla]

@@gabriellerust1247 I agree with you and while shipping is fine not everything is or should have to be romantic. The same goes for opposite gendered relationships. Male and female characters should be allowed to be just friends without one of them being gay

[@susanalopez5052]

She’s not?!

[@Blixemi]

OUCH. MY HEART. BUT THIS IS AN EXCELLENT OUCH :')

Not even gonna try to lie if he asked me like that to run away with him, you bet I would have my bags packed in two minutes sadkhfsagl

[@tangled_fate1172]

How you see Kelly's ghost sitting behind them and walking away as he talks. This is an amazing depiction of just her overall trauma and im losing my mind. This is absolutely amazing.

SAM BEING HAPPY IS MY REASON OF LIVING NOW. SUCH A BABYY LOOK AT HER FAAACE AT 3:39 AAA 🥺

[@kiwifit620]

We are getting SPOILED

[@gwynethsarah3083]

i love how it both of these people in her life just elicit the feeling of wanting to run away together, even in spirit kelly is there trying to push her, am in awe and tears of this animatic and musical

[@justlukahere]

I love how you show Adam's similarities with Kelly but still make a point of showing how different they are, like him holding the map every now and then

[@Maggie66851]

GOD I WASN’T ON TEAM ADAM BUT NOW YOU MADE HIM SO CUTE- AUGHGHH SAM HAS TWO HANDS

[@emilyfallaw5912]

sam has 2 hands...

This comment is the epitome of bisexuality and I'm here for it.

[@lucyschnuhpi6555]

I honestly cannot express how much I love every single one of your animatics. They are so full of life and dedication and so many details, they're perfect. I almost get a heart attack every time I see, you've uploaded a new one. You make these songs 10× times better than they already are.

[@MirandaPla]

Dude this is so kind -- thank you. Seeing stuff like this makes my heart a-flutter. Thank you for kindness and for your support!

[@lucyschnuhpi6555]

Thank you for making all of these in the first place! I can't even begin to imagine, how much time and effort it must take!!!

[@afeatherinthewind]

[@enti]

Boi, Adam is such a good guy, he truly loves Sam and he wants to make her feel better as much as he can, but she can only see her friend through him

[@rileyyamamoto8617]

I really enjoyed 2:04-2:30 when he talks about his future plans with her. You can see that she would be happier (or at least she thinks she would be) and how everything is just brighter when all the scenes before like in the dmv were poorly lit, the scenes about the future are bright. I also love how you changed the images on the wall of her room from her past that she dwells in too much for her own good to the future that she could live when Ben walks past. I don't know the musical well but it says that (SPOILER) Sam denies his offer, is this true?

[@VenhedisKaffas]

From what I've seen in the clips I could find of it she just doesn't say anything. It's so awkward and painful (on purpose. It's a good scene). Adam just kind of stands there singing the last part and Sam just doesn't seem like she knows what to say. I think I remember he leaves after that wishing her good luck with her driver's licence but I'm not entirely sure. I could be wrong.

[@rileyyamamoto8617]

@@VenhedisKaffas oh okay thanks :D

[@narutoboi7778]

It could be inferred that Sam does deny his offer by the end of the musical and also breaks up with him. In an earlier scene, Kelley tells Sam to leave if a guy ever says he could save her. The actual quote is “Kelly said, ‘Someday a guy will say let me save you. Let me take care of you’ and that’s when you’ve gotta -“ Adam isn’t in any other song after the song “Drive.”

[@dakuten7883]

@@narutoboi7778 sad ☹

[@lautaroroldanpizzorno7494]

@@narutoboi7778 It's textually stated that they broke up. Adam's first line in the show (Sam thinks about him and he shows up) is "Why'd you break up with me?" and a bit later he says "Are we still together, like, technically?"

I’m suing Miranda Pla for the emotional damages her animatics do to my heart.

Please no i have no money i have nothing to give please

Omg another amazing animatic? Miranda pla I just have to tell you that yo do amazing work. First you jump start the hadestown fandom and now the mad ones fandom? You’re amazing and I respect all the work you do. I wish you a good day and future

[@meatymaggot]

I gotta say Sam and Adam's relationship was really nice to watch play out in the musical. Adam is always supporting Sam and he is always willing to listen to her problems and concerns. He never put pressure on her and always wanted her just to be happy. This song I think really shows how amazing Adam is when it comes to him and his girl.

[@brookesdaze]

Your continues theme of only using one color in your animatics give me life

oop i'm about to break that LOL

I love all the little easter eggs like the Sting poster, stuff that'd you'd only get if you listened to the musical.

[@my_friend_marty-the_tnt_pa6269]

Now I want to see every musical done as cinematically and beautifully as this is. You add so much more emotions and story to the songs with these animatics. Can't wait to see more!

[@applesas942]

I love the way you showed how much he sounds like Kelly by showing him as her. It also visualizes why Sam both loves him and doesn't wanna run away with him.

[@lilyfish2160]

His facial expressions on those runs is just like me haha, I love this song so much and the animatic adds to it as well

[@MistyLunaLotus]

I never saw the musical or listened to all of it before these animatics. I think Sam should run with him to live out the dream Kelly wanted her to have

[@siramaytheshowgundragon]

Agreed

Okay but when he turns into Kelly I died a little bit inside. Your animatics are fantastic, your art style amazing, I don’t know what else to say other than gorgeous!

[@Venus0Kets]

Did you- the detail- you changed the photos to memories with him- aaah such amazing detail! Also how happy she looks nearer the end, you really conveyed that amazingly, your expressions are fantastic!!

[@scripwriter3304]

i dont have any of the context of the musical past what ive seen in ur animatics and read in the descriptions, but....ho boy sam. i think u might need to work on some trauma before u run anywhere. honey get some therapy PLEASE ur not-girlfriend died!!! talk to someone!!!! the guy seems nice but im very gay and liked the girl more.....poor sam. i feel like what happened in go tonight would be EXTREMELY traumatic i hope she gets some help with that

"I think u might need to work on some trauma before u run anywhere" HAHAHAHA that's absolutely iconic

Omg just watched it through and wow!! Just wow!! I love how your animations change between past, future, present and imagination, it's just wonderful!!

[@gren8te319]

2:56 i can see why these "camera spinning around someone" shots are in every other animatic you do. they're legit awesome and make these long notes hit even harder

[@menmtznayeli]

I absolutely loved the fluidity of your animations and I'm impressed with your effort to spread the word about the musical, because it's true that there is no information online and I really wanted to know what it was about.

[@pieloverz123]

god this is so good I've been so into this song since your initial Go Tonight animatic came out and I listened to the rest of the cast recording and like...god this is so BEAUTIFUL I love everything about it and like, the touch of the pictures changing and the times when it's Kelly singing instead of Adam and listen the fucking car slide on "Romeo is calling for Juliet" is just the best thing. thank you so much for making this it has made my day

[@pieloverz123]

and the DESPERATENESS after "I'm not trying to make you a wife here"!! like he KNOWS he's not the first choice but he can give her a good future and he's trying to earn that and listen I know everyone's on Team Kelly but I'm a real big Team Adam fan he's a doofus but he's trying and I love him for it

Duuude, she does it again. I'm ready to re-watch this 300 times like the other ones, this is overlord status

[@Anna464]

This is so heartwarming. Yes, losing Kelly hurt and will never really stop hurting. But there's a future where Sam can look back and be proud and happy with the life she lead. It matters so much that he says he's not trying to make her his wife or tie her down. He just wants to go on this adventure and knows it is going to be so much better with Sam there. If you can't tell this song means so much to me. Also, Sam, you bi icon, my heart's already in pieces!

The things you do with limited animation and stunning camera angles... It's simply too gorgeous

Run away with me Let me be your ride out of town Let me be the place that you hide We can make our lives on the go Run away with me Texas in the summer is cool We'll be on the road like Jack Kerouac Looking back Getting ready Let's go-! Anywhere-! Get the car packed and throw me the key Run away with me I know this is fast What else can I do Call me crazy but I'm much crazier for you I have these plans I have all these plans For a house that we'll build on the bay when we run away Let me be your ride out of town Let me be the place that you hide We can make our lives on go Run away with me Alabama heat sign me up We'll be on the road like some country song Won't be long We'll be ready Let's go-! Anywhere-! Get the car packed and through me the key Run away with me I'm not trying to be someone's wife here I'm not trying to tie you down I'm just saying there might be a life here A new one as soon as we run-! Run away with me Mississippi mud watch me slide We'll be on the road like Jack Kerouac Looking back Almost ready now Let me be your ride out of town Let me be the place that you hide California dreams here we come Romeo is calling for Juliet Ready set Now you're ready Let's go-! Anywhere-! Say the word and I'm already there Run away with me
