WHO ARE YOU, COUNT? || ANIMATIC (@InkPotts tribute)

The Count of Monte Cristo announces a masquerade Ball, to which he invites those who wronged him many years ago. As the Ball goes on he carefully pulls the strings of his plan of getting justice by avenging himself, slowly exposing each one of the conspirators in front of hundreds of other guests and destroying their reputations completely. In the end everything got out of control completely and affected the children of the conspirators, who are not at fault for the actions of their parents and have no clue why Monte Cristo rigged this wheel of justice in the first place.
- - - - - - - - - -
This is an animatic which took almost half a year to make, inspired by Ink Potts animatics and based on the musical "Monte Cristo", written by Roman Ignatyev (music) and Julius Kim (lyrics, libretto). At the core of the musical is a novel by Alexandre Dumas-father of "The Count of Monte Cristo". Unfrotunately, there is no English version of this song available.

Lyrics:
[Chorus]
Who came up with all these jokes,
Who's behind such a terrible plan?
Who came up with all these jokes,
Who is this secret judge?
[Monte Cristo]
I announced the intrigues of this ball
A long time before it has begun.
The masks have fallen;
You can't get enough?
Yet this is still not the finale!
[Albert]
Who are you, Count?
You're like an evil spider,
Who planned to capture them in your web.
You have found them;
The thief and the diamond.
So you could present the guests this awkward farce!
My father's shame, his friend's blood and death,
Oh how "nice" of you
To let us watch such a bloody mess!
[Valentine]
Are you satisfied?
You're like an evil spider,
Rejoicing over your captured prey,
So the entire world would see
The things that you have done.
The feelings of a torturer are familiar to you.
And even if the conspirators souls are dark,
Is your soul much brighter than theirs are?
[Chorus]
Who came up with all these jokes,
Who's behind such a terrible plan?
Who came up with all these jokes,
Who is this secret judge?
[Albert & Valentine]
You're a devil!
Just tell us why
You rigged this game from the start?
Why have you made this farce?
Such terrifying drama?
What gives you the right to do this?
What gives you the right to do this?
Just reveal your true face to us!
[Chorus]
Count reveal it to us,
Just reveal it to us,
Just reveal your true face to us!
Count reveal it to us,
Just reveal it to us,
Just reveal your true face to us!
[Albert & Valentine]
What gives you the right to do this?
What gives you the right to do this?
Just reveal your true face to us!
Reveal it to us!

*BEFORE YOU COMMENT* 1) No, there is no English version of this song available. This song was originally sung in Russian, written in Russian and was performed in Russia. There is no other version of this song that exsists. 2) No, this song is not a part of the Frank Wildhorn's musical "The Count of Monte Cristo", this song came from the Russian musical/rock opera about the same story entitled "Monte Cristo". It was never performed in any other country except Russia.

Stuflox what about where you’ve been for 4 months? Curious where you’ve been

[@RogerZain]

“WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO DO THIS?!” Dash:....did you even read the first 26 chapters of the original novel?

[@stephenbyrne2170]

Why shouldn't the Count have that right?

[@serpentmaster1323]

Aah, but this is the musical, and its sung by characters that have a different point of view in this song. The whole point of the song is that these characters may not have been harmed in one sense, but they psychologically were harmed. And while its so easy to argue that these creeps got what they deserved that I won’t argue it(or against it, seriously they’re messed up) Its incredibly unsettling and eerie to think about how many people the count manipulated to get his twistedly manicle revenge, especially from the perspective of one of those people. If there were some way to prove the crimes of these men, then the whole world would side with Edmund. And while the courts handling the situation would be better for society. What happens in the actual book is really the story Id rather read. (And if there is no legitimate way to prove it the count could easily fabricate something that the court would prosecute). But while stories like this are cathartic, I think there’s a real danger to them. Personally, I think it’s wrong to Enact psychological revenge that elaborate on a human being. Yes, what they did was awful and you can’t put a price on it, so the only fitting revenge is something also devious that we can’t put a price on. I get it, and I get why, and I love the story. But the thought of someone doing that in real life is sickening. I can think someone deserves to be punished for something without knowing a fitting punishment. I’m allowed to do that. So while I think Dantes has a right to justice, I don’t think a justice that is of appropriate cost AND is also humanitarian justice exists- just one of those times that life isn’t fair. It’s either one or the other. At the minimum, exposure of the deed to the world should happen. Alt should start to unravel from there. So while I feel like the right for justice of this magnitude exists, I don’t think dantes has the right to exact it himself.

[@serpentmaster1323]

Also, lol yeah, no they didn’t read it. They were born after it happened and no one knows bt the four(and I think the but,er knows too? IDK its been a while)

[@nataliapanfichi9933]

​@@serpentmaster1323 you wrote but er instead of butler. And yes he knows what happened to Dantes and has also has a grudge against Villafort. He's named bertuccio.

[@devaughnjohnson]

I disagree if their was another way he wouldn’t have gone to jail in the first place he is better than them because he chose to spared the innocent

Kudos for using the actual faiths of the three villains from the book: Danglars ruined, Villefort insane and Mondego driven to suicide.

"Who gave u the right to do this?" ...Fate. And justice.

[@TheCart54321]

I personally am on the counts side Sure the children are at no fault But if your parents really loved you, they would know that whatever they did would affect you as well....one of those things being imprisoning an innocent man with power. He deserved just as much justice as you do or anybody else does And in the end even if he were called a devil for all eternity It's better than being called a fool for a wrong he never did He still would always be reminded of the one fault they forced him in to

[@amalin3644]

he still overdid the punishments....in the end he was no better if not worse than his old comrades, you do not under any circumstance hurt other people who were not even in on the scheme to start with, at that Point you have crossed the line and have yourself become the evil you so claimed to want justice against.

[@TheCart54321]

AMALIN so your saying that if some men punish you harshly( prison for a very long time) for no good reason and just out of evil spite They deserve to GET AWAY WITH IT?! When your on the side that has never been punished as harshly as this men was, your going to tell yourself that But if you had been tortured just as harsh as this man was or worst, don't tell me you would not seek vengeance! You can say his punishments were too far, you can say he overdid it, you can say their children are not at fault(they should've known the consequences they were putting them under by the way) but those men.....DESERVED JUSTICE

[@TheCart54321]

AMALIN I can already see this as becoming a superman vs batman injustice comment thing

[@lunarwarrior1614]

Nah, he became a hypocrite. Always taking about avenging himself, an innocent man, but he turned his revenge into the thing that he despised for so long. Harming innocents. When you start affecting the people who have not done anything to hurt you in the first place, you have crossed the line. It is even worse when he KNOWS how to feels to be wronged. Still, he does it anyway, just to spit on his former "friends". It's almost like destroying the entire family of a disloyal ex that you have, even when that family knew nothing of, and had nothing to do with the ex's betrayal.

[@amalin3644]

wrong, by getting innocents killed he became the worse villain and did more harm then the 3 friends did so nope, he is the devil

His actual responce from Russian musical, very roughly translated Long time ago... A youthful captain Sailed back to his home To his lovely bride And just when they were About to marry He was arrested And thrown into jail Because an old friend of him Accused him of crime He never commit In such shameless case a wise prosecutor Found out a slander and lies But still Claimed the captain guilty as charged For the sake Of his own fortune And glory For the sake of his own fortune and glory... And so, into the dungeon our captain was thrown And soon forgotten By everyone While the conspirator persuaded his bride That he tried to escape and was killed (Mercedes: By the such horrid lies my whole life was twisted...) (Speaking to her) This is but a fairy tale! So don't mind it much! But what should I do With this captain? How should I live on With cursed memories of him? And of those who had burried him Alive

I honestly enjoyed drawing Albert scenes the most from the entire animatic (not that I didn't enjoy working on it at all, but sometimes it was a bit frustrating). I'm glad he got out as perfect as I wanted him to be^^ Thank you!

[@Moonwalkersssss]

Why Albert though? Why not Maximilian Morrel? After all, he's paired with Valentine de Villefort. And Maximilian too would love to find out who the Count truly is (and he does in the end), though Monte Cristo is definitely no spider to him =)

[@Stuflox]

They paired Albert with Valentine in order to make the connection between Villefort and Mondego stronger, and since there's no Morrels in the musical Maximilian's existence would make almost no sense, and they needed to make the story in the musical as simple as possible.

[@Moonwalkersssss]

Should've been Eugenie Danglars then. That would be at least waaay more canon.

[@Stuflox]

Well, I didn't write this musical, so there's nothing *I* can do with it.¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@SpyderLondon]

I watched the musical once but I already forgot about this song XD I liked the color choices and how well the expressions were shown on everyone's faces because it shows even more depth to everyone than just the song's tone. Color, atmosphere, and expressions you took 'em all into account wonderfully~

[@jaderush4141]

If you read the book you will actually find that he had his doubts about this at some point and when he turned to God for a sign, the sign was given. So Dumas literally had GOD approve of Count's actions. /I'm gonna be talking about the book. I haven't watched the musical, but I don't think either of that is a spoiler for those who did vice versa/ He never harmed an innocent. Villefort (I'm sorry if I misspell those, I am too lazy to check them and I'm no French) would have gotten there anyway, because his wife would have found the poison somewhere else, but also his innocent daughter would have died too, not saved by the Count who would have not been there. Danglars would have just gotten away with everything he's done. Morrel junior would have been dead twice (first with his father, afterwards - when Valentine died (which would have happened, as I've already said)). Albert...well, I don't think he would have died in the whole bandit incident, 'cause they had the money to pay for his freedom..but anyway. He and Mercedes would have never known Fernand's true face. Mercedes was never happy with him and that made Fernand himself unhappy either. Also, he was a d*ck not only to Edmont. Btw, without the Count, Haydee would have remained a slave and would have also probably died too. So here you go. Bad people would have lived and prospered and good people would have died. The Count of Monte Cristo was, in the end, God's tool to make things right. At least that's how Dumas planned it to be. And that's what I've just proved. But hey, I'm just an imposter. A MatPat imposter. Thanks for reading :P

Мне в этой анимации понравилось всё: и видеоряд, и музыка. Изображения, конечно, не такие кошерные, как у Ink Potts, но всё же нарисованы качественно, общая картинка проработана, передаёт все настроения и эмоции героев и радует глаз. Это видео, как вы указали, является пародией, а почти все пародии получаются не такими красивыми (если вообще не вызывают немедленного рвотного рефлекса). Я хочу заметить один плюс перед видео от инк поц. В ранних их анимациях было очень мало кадров в секунду, а в этой их довольно много (опять же, сравнивая с ранними видео). В общем, ваша команда может достигнуть их уровня. Ну а на счёт песни, я не знаю, адаптация ли это или своя, но, так или иначе, сравнивая с песнями иностранными (русские песни, по моему мнению, сосут), она крутая. Очень жаль, что вы не такой популярный канал, и немного тех, кто сможет посмотреть данную анимацию (даже некоторые пиндосы, увидев видео на русском, пойдут молиться, чтобы больше не натыкаться на это). И вообще, большей части современной аудитории и брони будут интересны не такие видео, а "ПОНЕ В ТРУСЕКАХ ТСЕЛУЮТЬСЯВИДИО", а жаль. Спасибо за впечатления, буду обязательно пересматривать несколько раз.

And for those who can read Russian, here are the lyrics without transliteration: Гости: Кто придумал все эти шутки, Чья же это выдумка, чья? Кто придумал все эти шутки, Кто же этот тайный судья? Монте-Кристо: Я интригу этого бала Всем заранее объявлял. Маски сорваны - вам все мало, Но это еще не финал! Альбер: Ну кто вы, граф? Вы, словно злой паук, Заранее раскидывали сеть. Вы разыскали их - И вора, и алмаз, Чтобы гостям представить этот фарс. Чужой позор, чужая кровь и смерть - О, как на это весело смотреть! Валентина: Вам весело! Вы, словно злой паук, Ликуете над жертвою своей, И чтоб весь мир глядел На дело ваших рук - Вам близко это чувство палачей! И пусть черна преступная душа, У вас она намного ли светлей? Гости: Кто придумал все эти шутки, Чья же это выдумка, чья? Кто придумал все эти шутки, Кто же этот тайный судья? Альбер, Валентина: Вы - дьявол! Скажите, для чего Вы завертели это колесо? К чему весь этот фарс, Чудовищная драма, Какое есть у вас на это право? Какое есть у вас на это право? Откройте вы и нам свое лицо! Гости: Граф, откройте, вы нам откройте, Вы откройте свое лицо! Граф, откройте, вы нам откройте, Вы откройте свое лицо! Альбер, Валентина: Какое есть у вас на это право? Какое есть у вас на это право? Откройте вы и нам свое лицо! Откройтесь!

Wow. Albert and Valentine's actor's singing voices are great. Not a huge fan of Edmond/Monte Cristo's actor's singing voice though. Wow. I cannot believe I haven't commented on this video before. I remember watching it when it first came out at the start of the year, and god did I love it. Still do. I honestly think this rivals Ink Pott's Count of Monte Cristo animatics (Except for "This man is dead", that is. Though that was also a huge change in art style.) Everything from the character designs, to the song choice, to the small bits of animation here and there is incredible. And while I can't really say if I think the characters were chosen well as I do not know Albert or Valentine's personalities, anything where Scoots and Sweetie are playing characters who are together is okay by me :P (OTP :P)

2:23 у Монте Кристо крылья целые, а в "Hell to your doorstep" они были слегка потрепаны. но эти мелочи. Еще один вопрос, вы всех гостей придумали сами или брали ОСов подписчиков? Очень была рада итогом местью Монте Кристо из самой книги, а не из американского фильма 2001 года как у Ink Potts. Господи! Я ждала это видео, оно восхитительное! Идеально подчеркнули характеры Альберта и Валентины. Я люблю вас, автор! Ну и последний вопросик, будут ли еще аниматики/арты по этому мюзиклу?

[@Stuflox]

В новом аниматике Ink Potts - "I know those eyes/This man is dead" у Монте Кристо целые и здоровые крылья, я брала этот аниматик как основу нежели "Hell to your doorstep". По поводу ОСов - я брала ОСов своих друзей, тех кто помогал мне с проэктом, ОСки самих сестёр Поттс (с их написанного разрешения) и некоторых своих подписчиков на ДевиантАрте, котоыре к началу работы над аниматиком были самыми активными. А за комплименты - спасибочки :з Ответ на последний вопрос: Новые аниматики ЕЩЁ КАК БУДУТ :D А пока вы ждёте можете посмотреть мою галлерею на ДевиантАрте, если ещё не посмотрели, я там рисую комикс по книге "Граф Монте Кристо". stupidflyingxxfox.deviantart.com

Вильфор, пусть и кажется, что он ничего не сделал но, на самом деле он был тем, кто послал Дантеса в тюрьму когда у него были все доказательства его невиновности. Он обманул его сказав, что освободит его, а потом сослал его в замок ИФ на пожизненный срок только из за письма от Наполеона адресованного его отцу Нуартье, который являлся на то время Бонапартистом. Вильфор испугался, что его имя будет опозорено и избавился от всех доказательств существования этого письма, включая Дантеса.

I absolutely adore the face expressions on the characters, particularly Edmond Dashie. How do you do it? Seriously, how do you get those brilliant expressions? Mine always look so stiff and nowhere near as expressive. Is there some kind of secret formula I'm missing out on?

[@Stuflox]

The most basic thing you can do when drawing an emotion is put a mirror in front of your face, do an expression you want to draw and then draw it looking repeatedly at the mirror.

[@rainpooper7088]

If someone dares to say that what edmund did to all of these people is wrong, I remind you that aside from the obvious things these people did to him and that they deserved them, he also did some good actions as: SPOILERS FROM THE BOOK - Giving a gigantic diamond to caderousse, who literally murdered his wife and a guy that was going to pay him for it, and stole the money and run with the diamond out of pure avarice. - Saved Monsieur Morrel's business that went wrong with time and that any of his old friends, like Danglars, helped him with money; and that he was going to kill himself out of having nothing else to live with but edmund interfered and saved him leaving him a big sum of money. -Additionally, faked villefort's daughter death after villefort's former wife (villefort's daughter's stepmother) killed the girl's grandparents and wanted to kill her as well, and accidentally killed her own son too. Villefort's daughter's death was something the Count wanted to happen to make Villefort suffer, but after knowing that Morrel's son loved her, he helped her fake her own death and then reunited the two lovers instead of killing her, avoiding morrel's son's death (he wanted to kill himself because he thought she was dead before he was reunited with her) - Mondego betrayed and killed a great vizier of the middle east, and his family got killed except for his daughter who was selled repeated times until the count bought her, listened to her story, made her ''his slave'' but actually treated her like a princess and used that story to avenge her to make Mondego loose all of his prestige, making him in the end kill himself of blame after seeing that both mercedes and their son left because he did something awful to those lands in exchange of money. - At first, upon hearing his father's news, Albert (mondego and mercedes' son) challenged the count to a gun duel to death. The count had the best aim ever and could've killed him in no time, but mercedes came to his house begging him to not kill his only son, and he, apparently not being over her yet, had the thought (and really wanted to act upon it) of letting albert kill him because his heart turned tender upon hearing his old lover, and told the vizier's daughter that he would be leaving her most of his money if something happened to him, but in the end none of this happened since albert said that he was sorry and retired from the duel. - Literally paid tons of money to his servants, leaving them enormous amounts of money when he died, just for being loyal to him. - In an attempt (which he succeeded) to make Danglars go bankrupt, he wanted to send a fake message from another country with fake news to france so he'd sell all of this country's actions. To do so, he went where this man lived, who was the one who repeated the message from the telegraph to france, and offered to pay him not only more than what he was being played, but more than he would ever gain in a year or several, which made this man's live better and made his dream of having a big garden with a big variety of plants to take care of (the man lived isolated in this island where the telegraph was and he only had 15 min or so to have a break and he always spent it on gardening) And a lot of things more probably that are too long to list, but in the end he was not a bad man, he was hurt mostly in the book, not because of mercedes not waiting for him, but because they left his father to die of hunger of all things, something that Dante couldn't bear.
