The Election of 1800 (Hamilton animatic)

I worked on this waaaay too long (2 weeks without rest), I think I overdid it. :^/
I'm not quite satisfied with the result, but I'm too tired to change anything.
It was the first time I used TV Paint for animatics and it was very difficult to figure out how to draw and animate in it. But I'm glad I started learning this software.

[@liammears2268]

i like how Hamilton is the rook because he's straightforward, while Burr is the knight, a piece that jumps over other pieces instead of facing them directly

[@lizzykatieschindele6265]

I know I'm totally late to this but I also interpreted it as Hamilton can move anywhere on the board (it just might take a hot second) while Burr has very strict regulations on where he can and cannot move (and what he can and cannot do). With both ideas working together it somewhat summarizes the the personalities and differences between the characters(and how the public sees them).

[@lizzykatieschindele6265]

@@helloworld76048 I'm back! A full 24 HOURS later! *I have too much time on my hands* Another thing to note is that most players while playing chess actively try to advance their knights on the board while they seem to neglect their rooks even though rooks can be the most influential pieces on a chess board in scenarios and can totally change how a game will turn out (showing how Hamilton can change the entire course of history with his writings and yet can get often overlooked). Many times when you play chess (or at least when I play) with a computer if you have the option to promote a pawn and the computer is in a spot where it can take that promoted pawn; if you change that pawn into a queen it gets captured immediately. If you promote it to a rook the computer seems to overlook it and that causes its downfall because it doesn't interpret the rook as an important piece letting you capture the king. (This could also show how many people could overlook Hamilton and cause their own downfall because they don't immediately see him as a threat while he can have the power to end the game or change history as we know it). All in all, the rook is a powerful piece and many are fools to overlook it.(I have NO clue if any of that made sense!

he does talk less and smile more, also less action more reaction

[@dandydasyt4766]

His gesture may seem approachable or amiable to anyone BUT Alexander, since he's played the games of politics before, and coupled with the disputes he had ever since Burr took down Schuyler, his involvement leading up to the Reynold Pamphlet, and the fact that he's campaigning, makes it seems like Burr's just showboating this facade to be seen in a politically advantageous view and win Alexander's approval.

[@mimull1378]

He is but I amdire Hamiltons values, he is fighting for a cause, he Burr to join him, and burr said no. He became a democratic repblican, because their was a position open and took it from Alexanders father in law. This is also thr party that opposes Hamilton, Burr doesn't seam to have an opinion. Hamilton isn't the only person who has that opinion, Jefferson says in this song that "he is not forthcoming on any particular stanses". We also see him avoid questions. Even when he wants to in the room where it happens he doesn't seam to have any clear beliefs, other than just wanting to part of the action. It's extremely dangerous to vote for someone if you don't know their ideals.

[@dsmith24able]

It was a great role reversal. I felt that Hamilton was trying to give him a chance to win his vote by asking if there was anything he wouldn't do. Burr's answer doomed his election. Hamilton, throughout their whole history together, has been seeking to discover what Burr truly believes and stands on. Of course, Hamilton got killed over this but Burr never revealed that to him or to anyone i guess 😄. All we know is that he wanted to be in the room where the decisions are made. I agree with Hamilton that a guy that doesn't have believes is dangerous in a position of leadership over a nation. A leader without boundaries is a recipe for chaos.

[@BoomTheGuardian]

I find the chess metaphor particularly clever as well; Adams is a pawn, doubtless vital to the game, but on its own not very powerful and easily bowled over as the game goes on. Hamilton is the Rook; direct, aggressive, but held back early on and constantly leaving itself open to attack. When Jefferson makes his move, he uses the Bishop, signifying his way of flanking people and waiting for the opponent to walk into his ambushes. And the animatic on its own paints a pretty clear picture of why Burr is the knight, but one detail I find particularly fun: the way a knight moves means that it always needs to land on a space opposite the color it started on. The knight is a _flip-flopper._

It makes this SOOO visually interesting, and helps it stands out a lot more from a lot of the shot-reverse shot animatics you see around. Your transitions, especially the one from Burrs face to the election room, were very good. That particular one gave me shivers.

[@redgoateyes]

GOD this is SOOO good. Your boards are so clear, and easy to follow, and SOOO visually interesting. This is seriously one of my favorite animatics ive seen. Instant subscribe.

i love how you added thomas and james playing a game of chess in the beginning. it's historically accurte that they loved playing chess together and had what others would call their ‘ultimate chess battles’ that would go on for hours.

A new animatic from the animator who uploaded my favorite Hamilton animatic ever?? What a way to start the day :D I absolutely loved the opening with Jefferson and Madison playing chess (and Madison crying ;-;) where the pieces represented the different characters (Burr as the knight was super clever), the animation on Happy Burr™, the reflection in the puddle, and Drunk Burr™ in his exchange with Hamilton. This sort of attention to detail and visual creativity is exactly why you're one of my favorite Hamilton animators out there :D

[@pevelis9939]

I'm glad you've noticed that Burr is represented as a knight. He is very witty and prefers to wait for his moment, where he can "jump over" his rivals, rather than facing them directly. In contrast, Hamilton is shown as a rook, because he moves straight to his goal without any fancy turns. Also, Burr is not drunk in that scene, he is just very tired and anxious, because of all his pre-election activities. He is not used to work so hard and he certainly lacks sleep. Well, that's how I interpreted his lines. Thank you for your kind words! I'll try to make more animatics!

[@XiaoAndyPugMan]

Ah, I knew there was some significance in Hamilton being represented as a rook but couldn't really think of it, thanks for the clarification!

Jefferson’s troll face when he says “Daddy’s calling” kills me

[@dezs.5202]

Honestly, I loved Burr as a character. In reality I read he wasn’t a great guy, but... idk, I fell in love with him in the musical, and I hated how Jefferson went and did him dirty like that. Also he has the voice of a literal angel.

[@makaylasanborn3600]

Hnngh I love all the little details in this animatic, like how when Jefferson says “they think I’m a Francophile” there multiple paintings of France in the background.

[@WasdTheory]

It honestly sucks how this channel up and left, the characters feel so REAL in the animations, and with so many cool details and symbolism you may not realize on your first watch!

[@flccarp9948]

Hoooooooooly shit my dude, this is incredible. The fucking camera movements, the creative angles the shots take, the expressions throughout, THIS WHOLE THING IS FUCKING ASTOUNDING TO ME. You breathed SO MUCH LIFE into every line of dialogue, every single expression conveys the story beautifully. Burr’s somewhat sleazy nature shines through here in a way most people forget to convey, but the last shot still gives you an immense amount of sympathy for the character. This is straight up my favorite Hamilton animatic to date; you clearly put A LOT of thought and effort into making this, and for that I’m really really grateful.

[@missdrawlicious3191]

[@melaniepedersen3750]

pevelis your finished animations are so good that i don't really mind waiting hahah, since you did Non-stop i've been waiting for another video from you tbh lol

[@pevelis9939]

It's not that I spent a lot of time working on them. It takes me approximately 2 weeks to plan everything on paper and put it in a video. The only reason there was such a huge gap between these two animatics is that I'm easily distracted by other events in my life and sometimes don't feel like doing anything. I need to stop procrastinating, honestly.
